Wat a day. It started with me wanting a nice cup of lemon tea. I grabbed two teabags and then reached over for my mug (chinese dragon type with cover). I lifted the cover to put in the 2 bags and LO BEHOLD - TWO, not one BUT TWO cockroaches were frolicking around inside, sucking on the remnant of the previous day's lemon tea. DISgusting things! I threw away my beautiful emperor mug. It looks something like this but was brown in colour with an embossed dragon.

I thought that was that. How was I to know there would be more to come??

Dinner time - Mercy made pasta and I decided to be the homely wife and make some aglio aglio for Mr Teo. Took the saucepan, bent down to pick up the bottle of olive oil kept at the bottom shelf. Noticed that the box of PAXO breadcrumbs had spilled over all over shelf and even onto the floor. Decided to tell Mercy to clear it up after dinner. Ah Ma walks in and i tell her how filthy the place it. She looks into the shelf and picks up the box. Something dark moves around inside. I scream "LAO SU, LAO SU" She drops the box and tells me not to scare her. The she spots a dark shadow darting out from underneath the oven. My fears CONFIRMED.
A rat! a RAT! i tot i thaw a lat!!
So there - wat a day - filled w cockroaches and rats. Now I anticipate sleeping with beetles crawling on my sheets. Can't wait for this day to be over.

WORK WORK

We all work. Toil, strive, labour, slave, slog - wonder for what.

Ode to work
The dreary grey come upon us daily
so we wish for the money fairy
until we know not bout the life we should lead
without the weight the life seems beat
oblivous to some, never seen many.

My desk at work (both views - looking in and looking out)

Here more of fav photossss......

More favorite photos

Look at my lovely dresss from Anna Sui!! ... and a good picture of Bee and Kyley and of Mom peeking at the WORM on Jakey's arm..."Eeeeee" she says.

Changing blog URL and name

This is in response to the 1st post of this blog, where dissatisfaction to the URL of the blog was raised.

The current setting is:

URL:                 http://hansisters.blogspot.com/
Name:                The Sisters Han

As this is a family blog, please feel free to suggest alternative/s for the above two parameters.
Let's monitor this for the next one week or so and see what creative ideas the family collectively can come up with.

(And, can plse use the "Comments" button instead of creating a new blog. Else, very hard to complile and track leh....)

i.  You should see two tabs, "Compose" and "Edit HTML"
j.  On "Compose" tab, you can write/add whatever text you like. Change the font size/type/colour etc etc.
k. Next click on "Edit HTML"
l. You will find the text that you had entered earlier on step (j) there in HTML code format.
m. Paste the "Embed" HTML code for the video that you want to show. You can get this from the uploaded video page on YouTube.
n. The code looks something like this: <embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/EnDKUM1aE2k" width="330" height="220" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent">
o. You can place the "Embed" HTML code anywhere you like. It'll just affect the placement of the video depending on where you paste the code.
p. Once pasted, you can click on "Preview" to see how your post and the video will look like.
q. If satisfied, click "Publish Post" per normal.        

PS: You can play around with video size by changing the width and height parameters in the HTML code from YouTube.
The default from the YouTube "Embed" HTML code is 425x350 but we prefer 330x220, smaller but nicer looking.
