The family is planning to go to the Floriade this long weekend. That is, of course if we have sunny weather. This year's theme is 'Imagination: Where will yours take you?'It sounds rather vague but I am still excited as to how it will appear with all the flowers in bloom. And I have specifically avoided seeing pictures uploaded by friends to keep the suspense, so to speak. I am such a geek about flowers, so you can imagine my anticipation! I'm just sorry that I cannot speak the same for bodybuilding supplement reviews. :P

Long week
It is that time of the month again at the office, when we are stumped with monthly progress reports. It is okay if you only have a handful of clients to write about. But it isn't a jolly day if you have got more than 10! Sometimes I would rather do colon cleansing reviews than this! The only thing good about it is that it is the weekend, and a long weekend at that! I hope I am able to take more time to rest and reenergise myself for the coming work week.

Binging for the holidays
With the upcoming holidays to our motherland, I am thinking that I may need diet supplements here. We all know going home to visit family and friends boils down to one thing -- food binge! It is not uncommon to be dieting especially when the food you have known and loved is readily available. Who could resist that?! And it is expected that we should gain a few kilos here and there, but I reckon it is all worth it. You can always lose them when you come back to your so-called real world.

New season
Spring has finally sprung! And what wonderful warm weather we are having these days! Spring is my favourite season of all. It is not too cold nor too warm -- just perfect. And one of the best things about it is we can say goodbye to eczema treatment at least for now. It is taxing just having to apply creams and what-not's onto the skin day in and day out. And it is not just the little girl who has to do it now. Yes, me too, though not as bad as the little one's, thank goodness! With spring here, what's not to celebrate? :)

Proud parents
Our friends are expecting their first born in a month's time. Finally it's a baby boy. The male gender is considered a rarity in these parts of the world, as most of the children are female. If it were the olden days, I am sure daddy R would be passing out cigars to his buddies when finally their son is born. A truly proud moment for them both as it was a project that is 10 years in the making. We are so happy for them. Baby-envy mode now.

Techy wishes
One of the several things that is not worth investing your precious savings in are the techy gadgets like your everyday MP3 players. I just saw the new Nano a few days ago, and they've now progressed to tiny touch screens! I love my player just the same but those newer models sure make you want to buy them too. I guess I am just waiting for the time that all those high-tech gadgets will be as an everyday item that you won't have to spend an arm and a leg just to get one. That day will come, but soon enough I hope.
