About Me

Previously a registry for friends and family to buy housewarming gifts...Now it's used as a personal blog for my daily (weekly or monthly rather) monologues, and my fondness for discussing the way to personal happiness.

I'm generally a contented person. Except on the rare occasion when I plunge into melancholy and darkness, I am the sort that looks at the silver lining behind the clouds, optimistic that there's hope in this world...and if there's little of that, there's always love.

When I'm not at work as a wedding card design guru, I like to indulge in my various social networking tools, and write a blog entry or two.

Join me as I explore the many ways to be happy in this crazy world, in my travels, experiences, at home, at work, and even in the food I eat.

i hate roaches!

I have always thought that we wouldn't have problems with cockroaches in our new place, seeing that the garbage disposal is located outside the flat. Strangely though, I found a baby cockroach hanging out in the sink this morning. He's the 4th one we had since we moved in. There was one that flew in through the window, one that my mom saw next to the main door, and a third one that was crawling out of the storeroom.

I really hope that there are no colonies in my home, and I clean almost every nook and cranny regularly every week. Could they be crawling in through the window, from a neighbour's house perhaps? Or did they crawl through the drainage covers since they are baby ones and small enough? I feel compelled to buy those cockroach killing devices they sell in the supermarket. But I rather rest knowing that my house is clean enough and free from pests. A friend who lives in a brand new flat has never had roach problems in the last 2 years. I feel a bit worried now...
