Trying the best to clear the work from home, the ORACLE system is getting on my nerves and I have to browse other internet sites, while waiting for it to load the configurations. Donkey minutes to do that. System really sucks.

Anyway, the hot topic now is AIR TRAVEL. Right, Especially with the eruption of Eyjafjallajökull Volcano. The standstill of air traffic control, airlines losses, hotels boom, passengers stranded for route and enroute to Europe.

Here are some sites for keeping abreast of the happenings if you are traveling to that part of the world, for planned business trips or for leisure.
Athens International Airport
Frankfurt Airport Flight Updates
Heathrow Airport
Leonardo da Vinci-Fiumicino Airport-Rome Airport
Paris Roissy Charles de Gaulle Airport

Some awesome pictures taken from Eyjafjhallajokull area.

Counting down to the days to the business trip and our holiday. I usually love the anticipating period but this time round, I am stressed out due to the workload (usual), kids falling sick, and also how the customer visit will fair. It’s the very first trip for me, in work. I was told “so blessed” to go for the trip. But with the high level engagement and the limelight, it will means more $$$ to bring for the co. right? Anyway, not to blog too much about my work. This blog is my personal space for my personal crafting pursue and also what I’ve love to share with friends. :)

I am totally missing my scrapbooking time. Can’t recall when’s the last time already. Has it been maybe a quarter? So much so I should just do it. Like the NIKE slogan. Forget the procrastinating……..

Let’s see if my sleepy bug can leave me alone and I can manage a craft or two.

Here’s the recap of how my darling boy has grown…

I’ve been using ecto / ecto3 for the longest time on my Mac, from the days of Powerbook till MBP. Really like this mac tool for blogging a lot until Adriaan pass the torch to illumineX. Things start to stop there… no further development of ecto3 and frustration with the Flickr Helper not displaying the photostream. Adriaan has been a GEM to help resolving some issues and I’ve finally found the solutions in his blog to make the Flickr Helper and Amazon Helper to work in ecto3.

Now, the next fix is to find the Blog This in 1001 to work for ecto3, I’ve been having problem to define the html code template for that. If someone can enlighten me what went wrong.

This is the template I’ve tried to create,

<blockquote>

<img src=”$url$” width=”100%” height=”100%”></img><a href=”$url$”></a>

</blockquote>

However, the image will not display. The html code only display the Flickr folder and not the actual source file address ending with .jpg

Anyway, I am equally please now that I can have the Flickr and Amazon helper working. :)

I am excited. Excited for the fact that we are coming to the 2nd last month of the YEAR! Thrilled that November is going to be a fabulous month, with good happenings. Though, yes, I need to be going back to work 3rd week of November. But nothing beats thinking of the things that are coming forth which are all good.
I have been having late nites, which stretches till 4-5am, that somehow cause me to have memory blocks. Whenever I think of something that requires me to act on, next moment, I can completely lost the thought and wondering what was needed for me to do? I hope I am not getting dementia at this age! :(

Anyway, I hope this week pass fruitfully for me, accomplishing more stuffs/projects. Soon, I need to countdown to the days I will be returning to work, being a FTWM again. Oh, ya, how I dread it but I’ve got no choice now. Boss requires me to return back to work early, and I have to ensure I have another bridge to cross over before I burn this one… How cruel am I?

Here’s a couple of photos I’ve taken yesterday and today. Sweet moments and blissful. Have a wonderful week ahead!

Another weekend comes and I feel that the time I spend at home now pass by like tornado! URRRGH! I have so much things in mind to do and so little time. Soon, I will have to return back to workforce which I super drag… =( Wish I will be much more productive next week and Grace will be napping well in the afternoon and that will leaves me good time to do my projects.

This was taken on Wed, when I was on the bed playing with Grace. This is how she looks like now at almost 7 weeks.

We went out shopping today with my SIL. She came by our place and we decided to drop by Ngee Ann City and check out the Aut/Wint wear there. Seth was happy to be able to see his Aunt again. He missed her. We bought this Tee from Life baby and it’s really cute.

I’ve got some great finds today and so happy about it.

I read from one of the inspiring blogs, which now I forgot who was it, about Envirosax and love the funky, cool designs of the bags. They make good bags to carry around for your groceries, Ikea purchase etc. I wanted to get it from Australia but then the price wasn’t really worth it if I am including the shipping cost. And today, I manage to find the bags in the mall and sooo overjoyed and I just need to get them!

the designs look like these:
envirosax-retro
Chose the retro as then my dh can use it as well.

Also, I’ve got this little nodder! It’s very cute. It will nod or shake her head when you ask her questions (JK!). I saw this on one of the K-drama that I watching and it’s simply adorable. :)

We went to Mushroom Pot for our dinner with my brother and sil. And then Seth did this!
Seth opens door
Runs away
What is he thinking?! Running in diaper! What happened was, he spilled the cup of water on his lap. He refused to wear his pants after the pants were wet, it’s not that all wet but being him, very particular, he refuses and we have no choice but to take off the pants and he goes around in the diaper!
We sat near the entrance of the restaurant, and guess what?! This little guy, went on, “Shi-ni-mah-se” when someone enters. We can’t really hear what he said till he kept on repeating when someone enters. It got us laughed out loud. We’ve been bringing him too often to the Japanese restaurants.

Got a little bit tough getting Grace to sleep while we eat. Thank God, she slept after my dh rocked her in his arms and then he can have his dinner.

So much for the little update and somethings wrong with my powerbook power supply. I hope it won’t die on me, else I am going to cry like the nile river! *Pray HARD*

have a great sunday!
