Dining Out: WFH...More of WFCBTL

This has got to be one of those moments wherein I really appreciate working in a room with a view..or at least in this case, hanging out in a cafe with a park view.

Coffee Bean and Tea Leaf has always been my favorite chill out place since my MBA days. Comfy, cozy, not as crowded as Starbucks. A place where I can actually relax and enjoy my drink.

After going graphic-intensive yesterday on a project that I'm making, I decided to have a change of view and opted for something more relaxing to look at...and away from the bed, TV, and other distractions.
I could actually stay here the whole day, but unfortunately, I have to go to work to attend a meeting for a couple of hours. Cruel, cruel world...

Where do you guys go to chill out?

Home Cooking: Itadakimasu! Beef Yakisoba

28/10/2013

I'm going to be working from home for the next few days before I officially go on maternity leave. Unlike being at work wherein I just select which food to eat, I ended up opening our fridge and pantry to see what I could come up with.

I found beef steak and bell peppers in the fridge. Some packs of fresh yakiudon from Han Yang Mart (Korean/Japanese grocery close to where we live), shredded nori and bonito flakes from New Hatchin, and shiitake mushrooms. I was missing onions and cabbage to complete the recipe, but I was also hungry enough to actually skip it and proceed with cooking.

DIY: Caterham F1 Hooded Towel

With Scout coming out any time soon, I'm starting to feel the pressure of going through our checklist to see if we're still missing something. As I was packing Scout's hospital bag, I realized that he only has one hooded towel (thanks to Auntie Cindie).

Going around shops, I couldn't seem to find one that I like despite the variety of choices. So, I decided to go DIY with it, well, semi-DYI. I'm not a gifted person in sewing. I can design, measure, cut, and pin...but that's as far as I would go.

AIS Mum: My Mothercare Baby

I've been going through my checklist of items for Scout's arrival and noticed that Mothercare is his dominant brand. Proximity to their branches can be attributed to that: I live quite close to one branch and work in between 2 of their other branches. Apart from that, whenever I go shopping for baby things, I end up seeing what I like there.

Since I became a voluntary member in my various government statutory obligations, I've become a rather frequent visitor of the SSS site. This is mainly because I settle my contributions via Bayad Center, my favorite one-stop shop payment center. I go to the site to make sure my records are updated.

I was checking out the site when I came across an advisory regarding a new contribution table that will take effect in January 2014.
