BABY & POOCH - GROWING UP

Found this from a forwarded e-mail. I think it's so sweet!
Meet Martine, a lovely baby girl... and Gizmo, the adorable pooch.

WAKE ME UP WHEN OCTOBER ENDS

It's coming.... it's finally approaching.

My Bali vacation - first Nov'09 weekend. And boy, oh boy... I absolutely can't wait!!

I really am excited about this trip... but am trying to keep the excitement to a minimal level of squealing! After so many months of waiting for Nov 5 to approach, it's finally almost here! Imagine, I booked the flight tickets (zero fair promo) in Feb'09. That was ages ago!!

So, I checked out the Bali vacation packages during the MATTA fair Sept'09 edition. Prices looked good, and I rooted out the best travel agent with the best offers. And after checking out the accommodation, I must say I fell in love with it immediately. The pictures look gorgeous! I could almost just live there... almost!

So, here's to a well planned trip for the four of us. My we all pay in time, and have a wonderful time there! Cheers, mate!

CHOCOLATES & RELATIONSHIPS

Just finished reading The Chocolate Run, by Dorothy Koomson. Good read. I really liked it.

Worst part : I feel so much alike to the character "Amber Salpone". The emotions, relations, family and hurts. Except the shagging part.

This is my second Dorothy Koomson book, and the second one in the row, too. It's amazing what good fictional reads exist in the NIEW Resource Centre on the 2/F at the building I'm working in. Oh, THANK GOD there's a resource centre!! Life working here would be almost meaningless without books.

And now, I'm craving for chocolates.
