My Lan Jiao (Rotten Feet)

Not too long back, someone came up to me and told me, "I read your blog and damn, I am so jealous of your perfect family, your perfect life, everything is like a fairy-tale." (I get the vibe that this person doesn't believe everything I am putting up on my blog.)

So I had to do this post to tell people ( like the one above) that NO, my life and me is not only about rainbows, unicorns and cotton candies!

My feet fucking rot and they got so much worst when I was holidaying in Japan because I was wearing thick wool socks and I suffocated my feet for more than 10 hours straight in my boots some days. There were tiny bubbles on my feet which itched, as though millions of ants were crawling on them. To stop the insanity, I poked my feet with needle until they bled.

So now, after drug and creams and every magical potions there was in store, I am waiting for recovery so that I can run again. And I am so fucking fat now coz I have not been running for the past weeks, all thanks to my lan jiao!

You can't choose what life is gonna give you, but you can choose the perspective you want for your own life. So don't have to envy me!

My Winter Wonderland, Japan 2012

For my 36th birthday, my husband gave me a 100% sponsored trip to Japan as my birthday present! I know, I am very fortunate. : )

All my favourite photos of the trip right here:

Winter Onsen

The best and also the most unforgettable part of my trip to Japan, was the short stay at Mount Fuji. We spent a night in this very quaint onsen (natural hot spring) hotel, Fuji Lake Hotel, overlooking the magificent view of Lake Kawaguchiko and the spectacular Mount Fuji is just sitting right beside our hotel!

It has this out-door spa pool which was pure heavenly to soak in, especially when it is winter right now. Your body in the hot steamy onsen while your face above the water chilled by the snowy weather. It's an indescriblable bliss.

More of my Japan trip coming up soon....

36

THIRTY-SIX! That's how old I am today. Woo Hoo!!

I took a day off on my birthday because I reckon I would be deadbeat after coming back from Japan the day before. And I was right.

Perhaps turning 36 has aged my braincells a little too much. I went out to run some errands this afternoon. I knew exactly what I needed to get - nail polish remover, hair mask and anti-perspirant. So I went to Sasa, then Watsons and lastly Guardian. I came home with two hair masks of different brands, bought from different stores and I hadn't even realised it! Gosh! I think I saw another grey hair.

As I ain't the type of person who loves a big bash on my birthday, we just went out for a cosy dinner at an Italtian restaurant, AMICI at Holland V.

Gluten-free cake was out-of-the-question in most restaurants and shops, so I decided to have a small slice of tiramisu with one little candle on it, so the kids will get the chance to blow out the candle.

Laetitia asked if I was only one year old. Hahaha...

I am 36. A happy and contented 36!

The Internet Never Forgets

Dug this picture out from the internet when I tried to google for "SK-II". It was me, working, when I was 8 months pregnant with Leonitus. I was looking like a fucking WHALE!!

Is there really no way to remove this hideous photo of me from the world wide web?!
