Indie Lifestyle and Growing Up 0

Posted on June 25, 2010 by dorischua

My good friend had just returned from a vacation in Geneva and she was sharing about the fun times she had. Being an indie traveler with enjoys an indie lifestyle, she used to sew and design her own clothes when she was a teenager. Looking back, we just reallized we are not getting any younger!

Often times, we look after and realize that time passes us by so quick. And it seems like yesterday that I became a new mom and I could remember how conscientious I was with my one a day prenatal vitaminswhen I was expecting. Now, my son is turning six in a few months’ time. Since becoming a mom, keeping an indie lifestyle hasn’t been possible cos there are far more responsibilities I have to shoulder now.

Hopefully I can still enjoy more of my me-time where I can do my indie things and lead that lifestyle I had when my junior grows up. By then, I might have a new set of worries to think about…

Checking out Brisbane Holiday Village 0

Posted on June 22, 2010 by dorischua

I’ve heard about the wonderful holiday parks and villages in Australia but have never visited any of them. But I know that holiday villages/parks are popular among families and indie travelers.

These past days, I was busy checking out the details of Brisbane Holiday Village as we may be staying there for a fortnight or more in December. I was impressed by the cabins and facilities and I believe it’s a great place for families holidaying in the region. I know that there are bbq grills in the vicinity but I’m not sure if there is going to be an electric grill in the cabin. After comparing the rates between all the cabins, I am keen to go for a nice cabin for our family of three.

With this in plan, I am so excited with the entire planning of this move. Let’s just hope that there are cabins available for the dates I am planning for.

Back From Short Break 0

Posted on June 17, 2010 by dorischua

Indie holidays are great when you need to rejuvenate and restore the mind. A friend of mine suggested that every one of us should take a break once a month or so, be alone and talk to no one. No cellphones, no email, just plain solitude.

Well, this wouldn’t be easy for some people I guess but it’s a good practice if you want to restore the mind. I just got back from a camp and am recuperating from the long journey in the car. We spent a little time at the beach where little junior got to splashing some sea water on his feet. Not much time for sand castle building cos the weather wasn’t that great. We wanted to check out atv riding in a nearby forest but there wasn’t sufficient time too.

I can’t wait for another break end July and I hope to explore nature more this time around. For now, it’s back to work and the daily routine!

Shopping and Eating Time 0

Posted on June 04, 2010 by dorischua

Summer sale is on in some of my favourite hunts and I’m hoping to find some indie clothing in my shopping spree next week. With so many big brands and fashion labels emerging, there are lots of mass produced clothing in the stores but I still prefer some indie labels that are unique and creative.

There’s a favourite shop called Womb that I love. The clothing has an artistic twist to it and every design only comes in a few pieces. Whenever I’m visiting the store, I always end up with a few items which sometimes bring the guilt out of me! Besides shopping in my favourite store, I would head to my favourite cafe for a good roast beef sandwich which reminds me that I need to get some weightloss products for a friend.

Eating and shopping are both my favourite past times and I can’t think of anything more relaxing than these when I’m on a vacation. Let’s hope I don’t go overboard and end up with too much to carry at the end of the four days’ trip!

Being Slim Is A Dream 0

Posted on June 03, 2010 by dorischua

For some people, staying slim is a dream. For others, it’s a blessing that has been taken for granted. We are often misled by the media on the definition of being slim. Young girls starve and skip meals just to achieve that slim figure on magazine covers and billboards.

While being slim is not a bad thing, some have reached the extremes of obesity. Being obese can bring lots of health and psychological problems which can led to social issues for the individual. There are lots of slimming options in the web and you can read reviews of apidexin and other weight loss options. Reading reviews can increase one’s knowledge so that you can be better informed. This will lead to better decisions before embarking on a program.

Do not be obsessed by those media covers of what being slim is all about. Focus on your health, eat the right foods and being slim will no longer be just a dream.

Medical Science and Technology 0

Medical science is so advanced in the 21st century that you can find a treatment for many health condition. My husband just got back from a medical check up and he was describing what they did to examine him.

Just do a search in the web and you will soon realize that there is an answer to every health concern. Those who suffer from anxiety can find tips and suggestions to calm the mind while those with sleep problems may benefit from hgh spray. With so many products in the marketplace, it’s best to find out more about it before trying it out. Product information can often be found in websites and books so knowledge is the key to mistake avoidance.

As technology continues to develop to a more sophisticated level, we are motivated to achieve and experience newer levels of knowledge.

Shopping for New Home 0

Posted on June 02, 2010 by dorischua

By next month, we would need to start shopping for some home furniture for our new home. The challenge is to buy for a house who haven’t even seen!

I love shopping for furniture especially the quirky kind. After going through my checklist, I have listed a few items such as my lounge sofa set, a few arm chairs, beds for the bedroom, cabinets, console table, preschool furniture, office table and chair…etc. It would be nice to paint the bedroom in some hip shades though it would be challenging when the house would be a rented one. Flipping through some interior magazines can offer some ideas of what I can do for the new house.

Perhaps I should start shopping online first before heading to the stores. This should at least give me a good idea of what sort of budget to consider.

Looking Forward to Singapore 0

Posted on June 01, 2010 by dorischua

I’m all geared up for my trip to Singapore next week. Even though I’m born and bred there, I still feel so comfortable when I step foot in the lion city. Don’t ask me why but I think I’m really a city girl at heart!

I have been spending some time surfing the web to find the perfect shoes for summer. After a couple of pairs of Birkenstock, I thought I would see if there’s anything new out there. Camper used to be my favourite but the new styles have been disappointing. Whatever happens to the designers. Well, the sale in Singapore is on but with only 30%, I’m not enticed at all.

I move on to check out some weight loss sites for market research purpose. If you want to read reviews on fat burner, look up www.fatburnerreview.org. The weight loss industry is so huge that it’s so mind boggling! With so many products out there, you ought to choose the right one.

Maybe I should start writing down my shopping list for my trip next week and hopefully the Great Singapore Sale doesn’t disappoint.
