Around the Same Time in ……

…2005

I was busy blogging about Kenyan Cinema, EA Music and Make Poverty History. Has much changed since then? It has, albeit slowly.

…2006

It was all about ‘the train’ and how I wasn’t a passenger anymore. Some of the people who commented on this post should see it now and laugh about it.

…2007

Busy capturing a few memories. An entry which also highlights my how old my Twitter avatar is.

…2008

I was enjoying a special visit from a very special person….Mummy dearest. And, Mr Mocha and I were getting more and more serious. Happy days!

…2009/10

Didn’t blog for the most part.

…2011

Just realized how time flies and how much has changed since I started blogging. Going back and reading through my blog and some of the comments most of you left make me laugh. At the same time, some of the things I wrote make me gringe. Its all apart of who I am and makes me glad I did start writing.

Memories are surely made of this……..and then some.

Pause

…..the clock!

Damn…..time actually waits for no man.

DS just turned 4 months and I was reminiscing how I was in hospital a few months ago churning him out. How time flies!

Around this time last year, here I was panicking that ‘Aunty Flo’ hadn’t reared her ugly head my way. Knowing the how irregular I can be, I wasn’t too worried. Yet at the same time I felt different.

It all started with me panting as I climbed the escalators in the underground rather than riding them up. Before, I would just walk up them like I was in the gym. Now, I was panting like a dog on heat. What was wrong with me?

At home, I was doing ten minute exercises and getting better at them. All of a sudden, I could barely finish a 10minute workout without breaking a sweat and panting like a dog. What was wrong with me?

Also, I was tired when I got home from work and needed a nap more than usual. What was wrong with me?

A week later I got tired of speculating and fearing the worst. I went ahead and had my suspicions confirmed…..

Happy Birthday Hubby…..you are going to be a dad!

Updated 26/03/11: Pic is my actual testkit! Just thought I put it out there.

Blogger Challenge

Ever questioned some of the things you did back in the day as dangerous or just a phase. Take this for example:

When I was in Primary school, we used to colour our chewing gum using crayola colouring pencils. The taste was awful, but it was the in thing to do. Looking back….were we poisoning ourselves or what?

I haven’t been listening to a lot of music lately or watched any videos, so I am going to leave you with a few slow jams and summer tune that I have come to like:

Stonebridge – Put ‘Em High (Not the actual video)

Avant feat. Nicole Scherzinger – Lie About Us

Sticky feat. Ms Dynamite – Boo (This tune is heavy….must be listened to proper speakers to appreciate it)

Marc Nelson – 15 Minutes (My favourite track from my favourite album. Unfortunately this is not the video. Just click to listen….bangin’ tune)

Lovely weekend peeps! Kisses to the lot of ya!

Girls Day Out in China Town

Ok…..don’t think I have forgotten about my little challenge to you lot…..click here to attempt before you read on. Don’t be scared…its not that bad! 😉

Now…..moving on!

This past weekend was really eventful. I enjoyed Friday night catching up with one of my old schoolmates. It was a laugh…reminiscing our former schoolmates and teachers. Funny….those were the technically the most exciting moments of my life.

The following day, my schoolmate, another pal of mine and myself headed down to China Town so I could take pictures, etc. Chinese New Year Unfortunately, as I came to discover on Monday, the parade was on Sunday and not Saturday as I thought. So I missed the best day to take pics. Anyway, I made the most of it and took plenty of pictures of China Town and other spots we visited on the day.

One of the highlights of the girls’ day out was on Monday when we were busy texting each other regarding a certain sweet we bought on the day called a GobStopper. My pals didn’t go for the huge one but a smaller version the size of a plum. Let’s just say, by the time I was finished eating the bloody thing, my mouth was sore. I wonder if you lot can guess how long it took me to finish it? Yes, I did it in one sitting.

Pics of the day will be put here……enjoy the snow ones for now.

AOB
