World, meet Spud.
Spud, meet the rest of the world!
How’s that for a secret love child who has been a-brewing on the back-burner in the last 10 months or so,eh? Yes, she truly is ours! Spud was brought into this world on Saturday, 7th August 2010 at slightly before 10pm, after her 2 weeks of mega chill-out session in my womb and long, arduous journey out of it.
And now, we are three six! (of course the cats!)
I cannot believe that I am now a mother. That motherly feeling has yet to sink in…

There will always be something to gripe about when you get foot massages from one of those run-of-mills shops along the streets of Bangkok. As always, I will always almost go back to the same place if I have had a good foot massage experience before. A good foot massage is pretty much dependent on the masseuse that you get, rather than the establishment itself; like a luck of draw if you will. And as always, I would secretly hope that the same person who did my foot before will still be there for a repeat performance.
Given the distance of Dr. Feet and the insane traffic I would have to negotiate through to get there, I decided to go to one nearer to home.
The foot massage was , at best mediocre. But, what turned me off more was the fact that she kept resting each of my foot on her boobies every time she gave me a rub. And every time she did that, I had to inch my foot ever so slightly AWAY from the dreaded boobs. It’s like a mental tug of war…both of us pulling in opposite directions. I’m somewhat certain that it was probably an unconscious act on her part, but still! It doesn’t mean I enjoy it. Hell! It literally was yukky-yuk-yuk for me.
I really DO.NOT.LIKE. that soft booby feeling underneath my feet and neither do I get any pleasure from it. I really just wish they would keep my feet AWAY from their boobies, thank you very much.
The dreaded thing about it is the fact that I was acutely conscious of it that I can’t even relax and take a nap! Goddammit, just keep your boobies away from my feet, will you? Disgusting, know?!

Discovery Travel & Living Channel has been featuring Anthony Bourdain, Bobby Chin and Andrew Zimmerns in the last few days, covering the entire episode of the food culture in Singapore. They were all repeats from previous series from a few seasons ago. I reckon and they have all been repeated to death since I have seen some of those before and blogged about it..
Still, I stayed glued to the TV…drooling away and thinking of all the good, glorious food back home.
What made it worse is that it made me realise how much I miss home. Not only the food, but I actually feel the ache for home. I miss the chats I used to have with my Mom and I miss her company. Most importantly, I miss being around my immediate family, just as much as I miss the joyful company of my close friends. I really am starting to miss my Singapore home. If only I could get a quick fix for it…
