Memories - Archie Andrews


Having nothing better to do, I had decided to clean out my closet when I see a pile of Archie Comics in a corner, covered in dust... I flipped one of the comic and started reading it. I know I have read that story before, but my hands just couldn't stop flipping the pages, and after a good 10 minutes, I reach the end of the book.

I'm sure everyone out there knows who is Archie Andrews... He is one of the main character in the comic of Archie's. I've been ready this since secondary school and had continued till about 3 years ago, I stop, after I got to know my husband. 

Suddenly, all the memories started coming back to me. The comics reminds me of my secondary school days when I like to hide in the library reading the comic. After I got my first part time job, I started buying the comics and read them when ever I am free. When I got my first full time job, I started sitting at cafes and restaurants, reading the comics during my off days. 
I have always been doing that until I meet my husband, and we began hanging out together. And of course, in order to get close to him, I started reading Chinese novels, instead of my beloved Archie Comics, as he is a fan of Taiwanese Authors.

Also with the technology getting better and better each day, I have seldom see people reading books or comics anymore. When you walk into the Mrt, out of 10 persons that you see, at least 1/2 of them owns an ipad, followed by iPhones and the galaxy, and that includes me. 


I looked at the comics again, some of them had turn yellowish, as they are more than 10 years old. But the outlook condition was still perfect. My mom saw me flipping the comics and urge me to throw them away. But I just couldn't do it, I'm still reading and flipping the comics as she was nagging me.


There are too many memories attached to the comics, some happy and some sad. They are a part of me when I was a kid, then teenager, young lady, and I hope to continue until I became an old lady.

In the end, I kept them nicely on my book shelf. I suddenly had the urge to run out of the house to buy more comics since I'm staying home doing nothing...

If anyone of you knows where I can find old Archie Comics pls let me know. I'm looking for the older versions rather than the new ones....

Do you have anything that is worth keeping?

Mummy And Baby: Hospital Checklist

It is never too early to prepare your bags for delivery. You wouldn't want to run around the house packing your bag after your water bag burst. It is good to make sure your hospital bag is ready at least 2 weeks before your EDD, or even earlier. And it must be place somewhere where it is easy to access in case of emergency. Make sure your family members, siblings and husband know where the bag is, so in case you really forgot, they can help you to bring over to the hospital. So what should we pack in the bag? I will list them out in 4 different parts. 1. Documentation  For Admission:  1. Mother's IC 2. Admission Form For Baby's Birth Registration 1. Mother's IC 2. Father's IC 3.

Career Switch @ Age 35

If you have went through this, you will know how I feel.... Career switch at age 35 seems like a risk... I have been in the restaurant line for the longest time already, and I spend the last 11 years in my previous company working hard to achieve who I am today. And poof, it's all gone now!!! What is the reason for this career switch and why? It is all because I AM A MOTHER! For the past year, I realize that I am always tired, I got no time to see my baby at all! She's still sleeping when I go to work, and she would have already fall asleep when I reach home! On my rest day, all I wanted is to sleep as I am so tired. I've grown fatter than before, putting on so much weight, I could only hear my parents telling me Baby Joy starts to crawl, she's calling 'Ah Ma', but I never get to see all her first time! I thought to myself, it's time to change! I need to be there for my girl, be part of her childhood, be there whenever she needs me! And the next thing I know...

Niku Kappo by Watabi

It's been a long time since Mr Wonderful and I have a date. Glad to spend some private time together for dinner without Baby Joy! It was a surprise dinner date (3 weeks ago) as he just SMS me the venue 5 minutes before I off work.  When I reach the restaurant, there was a big crowd outside, waiting for tables. Mr Wonderful got 2 seats at the Sushi Counter which is our favorite whenever we dine at a  Japanese Restaurant.   There's a welcome drink for everybody. Never got to know what drink is that as the servers are always busy. We had a hard time trying to get their attention as everyone is attending to tables. There were a lot of table services such as tossing salad and cooking Sukiyaki by the table side.   My welcome drink   Quite nice, a little minty. The chilli padi looks scary, but you don't taste that at all... Wagyu Toro Sushi $7.90 I am not a fan of raw beef, so I've got nothing much to saw about this. But the beef literally 'melts' in my mouth, so make ...
