Nothing beats this combo !!

Another little angel

My dear brother and SIL were blessed with a little baby . Another sweet angel . 

House Hunting

Today we went out house hunting again. Yeah, like once again. 

This time we went back to the River Sails project , it's our second visit there. The house is really nice with small but just-enough sized rooms. The layout is good. The marble floors look appealing , the master bathroom too comes with marbles and a full sized window, don't ask me why. The house has a large foyer , leading into the living room and the kitchen. The kitchen has a utility room , with a drying ledge and a washroom. 

The master bedroom comes with 4 door cupboard , space enough for a queen/ king size bed and full sized windows. 

The other bedrooms are big enough to fit a queen sized bed in or two kid sized beds in. The nearest school is a good 10-15 mins walk away. There is no MRT nearby , no malls . The pungol park is just across the road , a river is adjacent to the project . Nearby , there are quite a few projects like the riversound Residences , Boat house , etc . Some pictures from the show flat. 

Next , we decided to check out The Luxurie in Sengkang. We have been eyeing this project for it's sheer proximity to the mall and MRT , it's just a super hot location. It's a compact compact , really really compact unit. The living room comes with marbles , unfortunately the marbles used is a distinct brown colour with too many grains , doesn't have a pleasant look. The balcony is huge. The kitchen is spacious and nicely done too. The master bedroom is spacious and the master bedroom is nice too. The other bedrooms can only accommodate a single bed , which can be a drawback if you are looking for more living space. It's not a project I would consider because it's just too compact for my family's needs . The blocks are just too close to each other. 

Good luck to us !! Hope we find a suitable home soon... Well, have to find one soon , coz we have already sold our current unit  and have to move out by September. 

#SelfieWithDaughters

Its a new drive from PM Narendra Modi , post a picture with your daughters. 

Well, the place isn't going to change overnight. I have two daughters and every time I go to India , I hear stupid people speaking out their stupid thoughts on girl child. These are well educated people , leading a comfortable middle class / middle upper class life who voice such opinions. I'm extremely perplexed and secretly curse them, a girl child may never be born in your family and you may never know what is it to have a girl child and so on (you definitely don't want to hear the trail end of the curse;)) 

A relative casually comments that you need to pray harder for a boy child , and I read somewhere that only if you pray that you want to give birth to God himself will you be gifted with a girl child. I smile and curse her. 

Another relative comments that my younger daughter being slightly hyperactive , should give me a taste of what a son is like. I smile and curse her too. 

The other day at my aunt's house warming , my little one was on my back playing uppu mootai(it's a silly game where the baby pretends to be a sack of rock salt and the adult trying to sell), as I was asking my aunt if she wants to buy and she was eagerly grabbing the pretend sack , another stupid female comments , who would want to buy a female baby ? Who would want to pay the dowry and marry her off? Sorry, I cursed her nice and hard. 

Every time I curse , I smile . All I wish for , is my daughters to grow up healthy and lead a comfortable life and be my little babies and be  in love with me as now as ever. 

My prayer for today

Lord , teach me to be simple and humble and to treat others with care and to be thoughtful of other's feelings . 

No, am not spiritual , I do not put out my faith for display , but am a believer. The prayer is to remind myself of what not to be when am old and grumpy. To not gloat on and on about myself , my family , my kids and so on. 

When others say about their problems , I would like to say something encouraging and compassionate. 

What a shame , I see many singing their own praises in the name of God. Thanks to God , they say before uttering their magnanimous catches , be it a house , a car , financial success, materialistic world !! 

Am beginning to hate people open up and talk in such ways, when previously I could easily ignore and forget. I must be getting old I suppose . 

I Signed the offer letter today

Yay!! I signed the offer letter today , am going back to my old company , old team and old friends but with a much better title and a much better compensation. I call it my lottery ticket !!!

The job is difficult , stressful and tiring , but I feel in many ways excited and eager to go back . 

Good luck to me!!! Another happy day !! 

15 minutes before

It's always 15 minutes before a birthday party that my husband steps out to fetch the birthday from the mall that is 10 minutes away. 

If that doesn't drive you mad , then you must be a saint !!!
