Edison turned 2!

Lately I have been too slack to blog! Guess my mind has been occupied with other things ie; whether to stay or go, plus getting ready for Edison's birthday has kept me busy for a while too! Well luckily I didn't end up cooking the food yesterday!

This year I thought I'd relax a bit, so I decided to get catered food instead! I don't regret coz' by the end of the party, me and Jeff were kind of exhausted from all the cleaning!

The only food I prepared was the desserts! Speaking of desserts I forgot to take photos of the pretty agar agar I made! Thought they looked nice! I also made some or bi bei!

Well my son is 2 liao! He is growing up so fast, can see his individuality starting to shine through! I guess that is what makes him, him!

I haven't uploaded the birthday pics yet, but once its done, I'll have it up here too!

Mind boggle

The last few days, I have been in a constant dilemma as to whether I should start trying to conceive my second child, or whether I should concentrate on my first, Edison.

Well the decision would not be hard if I decide to stay put in France with Jeff, as he will be working here for another 4 years. However, I really dont have any desires on continueing my stay in France. Seriously, being here is like being so out of touched with the world and, everything this else that goes on. For me, life here means, clean, cook, feed Edison, wait for Jeff to get back from work, grocery shopping about once or twice a week.

Of course I'd still have the house chores to do in Singapore, but at least if ever I didn't feel like cooking, I could still go down to any foodcourt and order something to eat. When Jeff is at work, I can bring Edison and myself out, anywhere. With MRT, I can just go anywhere, like to libraries and stuff. At least the books would also be in English! I can think of so many things that I can do with Edison. Here......our activities are mainly limited to around (inside) the house.

I really feel like just going back to singapore, and Jeff can continue his contract, the only thing is that if I do, then there would definately be a big age gap between Edison and my next child.

Should I care about this? My age by then would be about 26-28, so I am not too worried, the only thing is, it just feels weird having a 5 year gap between first and second child.

Part of me is saying that maybe it would be good for Edison, so that he can use the time to get more indipendant and so I can spend more one on one time with him?

Which is better?

I wonder which is better?

Scenario:

1. A loving husband & wife but, always argue.
2. Husband & wife lack of affection and relationship is very dry.
3. Husband & wife lack of affection, always argue and relationship is very dry.

Obviously number 3 is the worst la, but just say if it is between 1 and 2, which would you choose?

Kitchen Degreaser

Tonight after I finished cooking, like any other night, I went through my cleaning the stove top ritual. While doing so, a silly thought come to mind. As I was wiping away the oil splatters with the degreaser, an image of a slimming campaign model came to mind, doing the typical pose, where they advertise the slimming product in one hand. The silly thing is that the slimming 'product' is kitchen degreaser!

I really like Magic clean degreaser, from Kao. Among the brand I've tried, this seems to get rid of the grease almost instantaneously! Imagine if there was a product that humans could safely consume and, achieve such efficient results! This thought, actually made me take a look at the active ingredients on the label of my Magic Clean bottle. Of course, I'm not thinking of drinking it, but I couldn't help but check it out. Of course I should have known, its solvent and one or two other things. What is solvent, and where does it occur?

I wonder if the producers of slimming teas/pills have ever had this silly idea pop into their minds???

*PLEASE DO NOT TRY TO CONSUME ANY DEGEASER, IT COULD BE FATAL*
