Tout le monde dit I love you papers & elements from Le Journal du Scrap

Haha…blame it on my pregnancy hormones acting up.  In any case, doing tags like these in my 38th week of pregnancy do take my mind off the kicks and punches the babe inside is giving me everywhere I go.   Helps divert my attention from the increasing pressure on my back and hips.  Makes me forget that I have to pee every few minutes….well, somewhat…

Flutter Friday Freebie Paper 1 from Karen Lewis Designs of Digital Freebies

I received Cute’s Blogger Award from Wen recently, and well, it didn’t exactly require me to dress up to the nines and give an acceptance speech like what those Academy Award Winners had to do last weekend, but this award is actually a TAG in disguise.

Rules:

1. Copy Badge “2008 Cute’s Blogger Award” and put it on your blog.

2. Link or tell a bit about the person who gave you the award.

3. Each one of you who receive this award must list down 10 facts / hobbies about yourself.

4. Pass this award to 10 bloggers and link them in your blog.

 

About Wen

I have not personally met her before, but I can tell from her blog that she is a fun-loving stay-at-home-momma to two adorable kids.  Also, she knows very well how to enjoy life to the fullest! :)

Would love to meet her someday…

10 facts/hobbies about the Giddy Tigress

  1. I am obsessed with cleaning up the dirty plates and bowls as I cook.  I cannot stand seeing the sink full to the brim with dirty dishes.
  2. I am easily tempted by shopping bargains, especially online shopping with special promos and discounts.  Just gimme an PC and watch while I get those cool and awesome bargains!
  3. I hardly wear any lipstick.  Lip balm, yes … but I don’t so lipsticks that often because I don’t like the lipstains they leave on glasses and mugs. 
  4. My current favorite shows on TV are (in random order) American Idol, Grey’s Anatomy, old reruns of Friends and (due to hubby’s influence) Jon & Kate Plus 8.
  5. I am a contest freak.  I will take part in contests and giveaways as long as I see the need for the prize they are offering.  In addition to entering contests, I have also recently started organizing my own giveaways on my shopping blog.  Check out the current one I have running.
  6. I like to eat Korean instant noodles.
  7. I wash my hair every day.  I need to.
  8. I have discovered, much to my amusement, that I can and HAVE survived for almost 5 months now without the need to use a cellphone!
  9. I love (sinful but ohsogood) whipped cream with anything at all!
  10. I think I can sometimes be overly-emotional.

I won’t be passing this tag to anyone in particular, but do feel free to use it, yeah?

Sixth one..or so you think! February 27, 2009

Posted by The Giddy Tiger in : Drooling & Cooking, Memes & Tags , comments closed

It has been awhile since I had been tagged, or so it seems…I can’t even remember the last tag or meme I did.  Anyway, this is an easy-peasy one, and comes courtesy of Angeline, so I’m just gonna do it because I can… haha.

***Rules***
1. Go to your Picture Folder on your computer or wherever you store your pictures.
2. Go to the 6th Folder and then pick the 6th Picture.
3. Post it on your bloggy and tell the story that goes with the picture.
4. Tag 5 other glorious people to do the same thing and leave a comment on their bloggy tellin’ them ’bout it.

Okay, I have a confession…I sorted my folders in descending chronological order before I selected the picture, because I figured it would make more sense if I had a recent photo to describe.  Also, the actual SIXTH photo in that folder does not tell the story as well as the SECOND and FOURTH photo in that folder, and so I chose to show the 2nd and 4th photos because 2+4=6. :P

 

So there… that’s the rather authentic Japanese bento lunch my hubby and I had the glorious opportunity of partaking about a week or so ago.  We found this Japanese restaurant by chance when we were looking for a place to have lunch.  And we have no regrets.  I ordered the salmon teriyaki bento set (which also included tempura; one of them was broccoli tempura: a first for me!)  while hubbs ordered the mackerel bento with sashimi.  An odd observation I have had in Japanese restaurants in the US is that they do not have chawan mushi on the menu!

And knowing me, I just HAD to ask for additional wasabi to go with my meal!

I’m not tagging anyone for this, but y’all are welcome to flick this meme anytime you want! :)

Worming through books!! July 31, 2008

Posted by The Giddy Tiger in : Memes & Tags, Thoughts & Scribblings , comments closed

 

I personally do not think of myself as a bookworm. For one, I have a bookworm tagged to an image of someone with thick horn-rimmed glasses buried behind a stack of thick books, slouched behind an even thicker one with the title “How to read more books in 24 hours”. Okay, well I exaggerated a bit there.

But anyway, I was kinda surprised that KittyCat tagged me with a very interesting meme, one that had me thinking, “How much of a bookworm do I think I am?”

Do you remember how you developed a love for reading?
I don’t deny that I love reading books, but my problem now is finding time to indulge in this hobby. True, reading books denies the reader from visual gratification to a certain extent, but it allows the imagination to stretch to endless horizons.

I guess I developed a love for reading way back in my school days. Maybe it was peer pressure, maybe it was the sheer fun of completing a book, or maybe it was one of those “Kempen Membaca” that did the trick. … Nah. :P

What are some books you read as a child?
Like many other little children, I loved Enid Blyton books. I was a huge fan of The Faraway Tree series, and I remember my parents took my brother and me to the library every Sunday after church. That’s where I would scour the library for “treasures”. I endeavored to complete reading the entire Faraway Tree series, and would willingly immerse myself in these books every minute I found. For some reason though, I never did like the Secret Seven or the Famous Five, preferring instead to read Nancy Drew and Dana Girls mysteries, and eventually the more intriguing Alfred Hitchcock ones.

Mills & Boon novels were never up my alley as well, I preferred Sidney Sheldon and Danielle Steele. Read one of Jackie Collins’ , but I didn’t like it.

What is your favourite genre?
Fiction, probably. With a hint of mystery or twist to the tale. John Grisham novels do this job really well, I’d say.

Do you have a favourite novel?
Not really. Most of the novels I have read, I just chuck them aside. I’m currently into light-hearted reads like Sophie Kinsella’s books, which I totally can relate to.

Where do you usually read?
When I was a little girl, I read almost anywhere. In the car, while in the restaurant, during ad breaks on TV…but now, even if I read, it’s mostly on the bed, right before I call it a night.

When do you usually read?
When I find the time to.

Do you usually have more than one book you are reading at a time?
I try not to, because I tend not to finish one before moving on to another, but I can’t help it sometimes. Like now, I have about four books I am reading and referring to, some fiction and some non-fiction, and one in the pipeline ready for me to dive into when I find the time.

Do you read nonfiction in a different way or place than you read fiction?
Yup. For nonfiction, especially books for reference, I will flip to the parts that interest me first and read it through. Then I may or may not come back to it in future. For fiction, I just read through from start to end.  The place I read fiction and non-fiction is irrelevant.

Do you buy most of the books you read, or borrow them, or check them out of the library?
Now I buy most of my books. Used to borrow books as a kid though.

I hardly think twice when I am buying books and magazines nowadays, because I know I have a certain amount that is available to be used for income tax relief.

Do you keep most of the books you buy? If not, what do you do with them?
Yes. And I desperately need a nice classy-looking bookshelf like the Billy to keep them all in.

If you have children, what are some of the favorite books you have shared with them? Were they some of the same ones you read as a child?
My son is currently into books with the theme of alphabets and numbers, but when he gets a little bit older, I would love to share the Enid Blyton series with him. They are so fascinating….. although I suspect his Daddy cannot wait to share with him the wonders of the world of comic books :P

What are you reading now?
Fiction:
Evening is The Whole Day by Preeta Samarasan (simply absorbing and oh-so-excellent!) and Mercy by Jodi Picoult.

Non-Fiction:
Feeding your Baby & Toddler and Lunch Boxes & Snacks, both by Annabel Karmel

Do you keep a TBR (to be read) list?
I used to, for the Nancy Drew series. I don’t have any such list anymore.

What’s next?
Errrr….finish reading my current books first?  And oh, I am curious to find out if audio books deliver the same effect as reading them do.

What books would you like to reread?
Little Women by Louisa May Alcott.

Who are your favourite authors?
Enid Blyton, Sophie Kinsella and now of course, Preeta Samarasan :)

Now, would you guys be willing to share your reading habits with me (and the rest of the world)?

Behind the “Je m’appelle” July 4, 2008

Posted by The Giddy Tiger in : Memes & Tags , comments closed

When I saw an incoming link from Angeleyes last night, I clicked on it almost immediately…more so out of curiosity, really. Lo and behold she had bestowed upon me a meme which required me to display the meaning of my name. And here goes nothing… the words in red are what I think reflects me rather accurately:


What Giddy Tigress Means


You are deeply philosophical and thoughtful. You tend to analyze every aspect of your life.
You are intuitive, brilliant, and quite introverted. You value your time alone.
Often times, you are grumpy with other people. You don’t appreciate them trying to interfere in your affairs.You tend to be pretty tightly wound. It’s easy to get you excited… which can be a good or bad thing.
You have a lot of enthusiasm, but it fades rather quickly. You don’t stick with any one thing for very long.
You have the drive to accomplish a lot in a short amount of time. Your biggest problem is making sure you finish the projects you start.You are balanced, orderly, and organized. You like your ducks in a row.
You are powerful and competent, especially in the workplace.
People can see you as stubborn and headstrong. You definitely have a dominant personality.You are a free spirit, and you resent anyone who tries to fence you in.

You may miss out by not settling down, but you’re too busy having fun to care.You are a seeker. You often find yourself restless – and you have a lot of questions about life.
You tend to travel often, to fairly random locations. You’re most comfortable when you’re far away from home.
You are quite passionate and easily tempted. Your impulses sometimes get you into trouble.You are wild, crazy, and a huge rebel. You’re always up to something.
You have a ton of energy, and most people can’t handle you. You’re very intense.
You definitely are a handful, and you’re likely to get in trouble. But your kind of trouble is a lot of fun.You are friendly, charming, and warm. You get along with almost everyone.
You work hard not to rock the boat. Your easy going attitude brings people together.
At times, you can be a little flaky and irresponsible. But for the important things, you pull it together.You are the total package – suave, sexy, smart, and strong.
You have the whole world under your spell, and you can influence almost everyone you know.
You don’t always resist your urges to crush the weak. Just remember, they don’t have as much going for them as you do.  
What’s Your Name’s Hidden Meaning?

What?  How come so many of you are rolling your eyes skyward?  Hehe…did you think I was gonna reveal my real identity here?

But then no point beating around the bush also la, if you already know my REAL Name, just use the link above and find out the meaning for yourself.

And, as is customary with a tag, this tag goes out to anyone who would like to do it.  Such an easy-peasy one!

Have a great spankin’ weekend, y’all!

frugal is … as frugal gets June 23, 2008

Posted by The Giddy Tiger in : Memes & Tags, Thoughts & Scribblings , comments closed

I think frugality is an overrated word. What someone deems as frugal might not be the same in another’s dictionary. But in view of the increase in fuel prices, I definitely need to make concerted efforts to save save save, in addition to the steps my family and I are already taking. Just steering off course for a moment, the first time I filled up my petrol tank with Shell V-Power after the price hike, it cost a whopping RM112.99! Shell V-Power now costs RM3.15 per liter, by the way. And yes, hubbs and I still go for it despite it being more expensive because it is more efficient: a full tank can last us 1.5 weeks, give or take.

Anyway, I was reading Hijack Queen’s frugal tips, and thought I’d put my thoughts on frugality to blog too.

Toned-down shopaholic
Being a shopaholic by nature, it is difficult for me to curb the habit of doing a double take whenever I see something I like, like shoes, clothes, accessories, etc. But I am trying my best to only buy whatever is NEEDED, and not WANTED. It’s a fine line, if you ask me, but I try to use the SALE factor as a benchmark. If something is not on sale, don’t get it YET. When the sale comes along, if it is still available and it is still appealing, then get it. Often times, I have found that my interest in that particular product wanes after some time.

Bargains & discounts
Grocery shopping, on the other hand, is something that cannot be avoided. I do mine every week, and since I am endeavoring to cook more (stay at home to eat = no need to go out to eat = saving on petrol), I pounce on every bargain possible, even in the supermarkets. Just like last week, when I spotted fresh tenggiri fish on sale at 50% off in Jusco. Made a nice assam pedas fish curry too, which hubby gave two thumbs up for. I must add, however, that I will never ever sacrifice the taste of food for the price.

At every store that I shop, I never fail to ask them if there is a discount available for any credit cards or store cards. You never know where you might save. Some people don’t ask for fear of the hassle involved, but my skin is very thick when it comes to this, and at cosmetic counters, I will always ask for samples.

Killing 2 birds with one stone
I like to pride myself in being as environmentally-friendly as possible, and it is even better because by being that, I get to save a bit too. Since my boy is 100% on modern cloth diapers, I don’t need to stock up on disposable diapers now. I don’t even look at the price of Mamy Poko now whenever there is a sale. Also in the same vein as being environmentally friendly, I am also using cloth menstrual pads myself, so I don’t buy disposable ones anymore. A little bit of savings here and there goes a long way, you know. Besides saving moolah, it is also a healthier option.

Keep a tab on finances
I’ve also resurrected my expenditure spreadsheet. This way, I will be aware of how much I spend each month for each category of expenditure. In my bid to spend less, I have started using more cash instead of credit cards, especially for purchases less than RM20. Essentially the same amount of money is spent, but the theory is that if I keep seeing cash disappear from my wallet, I will be inspired to spend less.

Transportation
One of the tips to curb spending is to car pool. And hubbs and I are already doing that. We only have one car (so far), and since our workplaces are just across the street from each other, it makes sense to car pool.

Saving electricity
I’ve also consciously started saving electricity at home. Light not needed in the kitchen, switch it off. Can shower without the light, leave the lights off. My hubby even realized this as he asked me if I was saving electricity. Heh… Sikit sikit la…. In any case, all our bulbs are energy-saving ones, except for the fluorescent light in the kitchen. In the evenings, we don’t use the water heater, which is another means of saving electricity too!

Renovate my wardrobe
I have also recently embarked on a cost-saving fashion tip, by raiding my wardrobe for old clothes I can reuse and wear. By just adding a belt to an old outfit, it jazzes it up and creates a new look altogether. Buys me some time before I get a new one, and also saves money la. Some of my ensembles have received rave comments, actually :lol:

Contests
I enter contests almost every month, in the hope of winning something useful. I remember a few years ago I won 2nd prize in an Estee Lauder contest, which ensured I didn’t need to buy makeup and skincare for almost a year! Now that’s a whole lot of savings indeed!

Pampering treats
In my bid to become more thrifty, I am contemplating going for less facials, maybe once every 3-4 months or so, or maybe none at all. I intend to give myself mini facials at home, and well, of course the feeling is not quite the same, but there has got to be some sacrifice, no? Of course, I don’t even go for pedicures or manicures (the last manicure I had was a French the day before my wedding).

So well…if there are other ways or suggestions as to how much more frugal I can become, without losing my giddy self, please do not hesitate to let me know! And of course, I am tagging anyone and everyone who wants to share a tip or two! :razz:

Fun with fans and rhymes June 13, 2008

Posted by The Giddy Tiger in : Memes & Tags , comments closed

My dear ParisB and Andie,
I’ve dillied and dallied
With nary a worry
I almost forgot about my tagging duty

It’s been awhile,
and I think it’s time
I cook up a pretty decent fancy rhyme

The weather’s hot
Rained, it has not
So this is about the fans that call the shots

Five fans in my home
Two manuals and three remotes
Each and every one in a room of its very own

My bedroom, the living
And also the dining
All have a 5-blade silver Cyclone fan on the ceiling

High, Medium and Low
Are settings on the go
But Low is all we ever use, if you really wanna know

The two manual Panasonics
In our guest room and study
Are just your usual run-of-the-mill fans, with no unusual antics

A tag on my fans
That’s going to end
But not before I tag ehon, sasha and wen!

***

Pssst…not as canggih as Adino’s poem, but boleh tahan, yes or not? :lol:

A fantasy I’m dreaming of May 11, 2008

Posted by The Giddy Tiger in : Close to Heart & Home, Memes & Tags, Thoughts & Scribblings , comments closed

 

It is 8:00a.m.  I stir myself awake, still in a daze but very much aware of the clattering of cutlery in the dining area outside.  I stifle a yawn, stretch and turn over and it was then that I realize hubbs and Ethan were not in bed already.  I quickly got up, brush my teeth and wash up, and as I wipe my face dry, the aroma of freshly made pancakes and waffles greeted me.  With a smile, I waltz into my dining room, where I saw that my darling hubby had made me a breakfast fit for a queen princess!

Both the boys gave me a hug, wished me a Happy Mother’s Day and we had a terrific breakfast together.  We then got ready for church and had a really enjoyable service there.  All the mommies present were given a rose each, as a token of the celebration for Mother’s Day.

We then headed for the beach where we were gonna have a family picnic.  Hubbs had packed a basketful of goodies which included most of my favorite food items like chicken pie, cheese cake, Twisties and oh yeah, some pink guava juice too.  The weather was slightly cloudy with just the right amount of sun.  Perfect to acquire a tan. Which I took full advantage of :) After a couple of hours playing with the waves, building sandcastles and having nothing but fun, we headed for home for our afternoon siesta.

We woke up just in time for dinner at one of my favorite restaurants.  Ethan was on his bestest behavior that night, obediently sitting in his baby chair and eating all by himself.  Not a single crumb of food was dropped.  Of course, for me, margarita was part of what I ordered for dinner too! :)

And then we came back home, and got ready for bed.  I read Ethan his bedtime story, Jack and the Beanstalk, gave him a kiss and tucked him into bed.  He looked up at me, reciprocated the kiss and said, “I love you Mommy!  You’re the best Mommy ever!  Happy Mother’s Day!”

Oh yeah, and before I called it a night, hubbs gave me a massage, complete with soothing essential oils and calming music.

Bliss.

Was that good enough a fantasy, SlaveMom?

Ah well, I did go to church today though.  And although I didn’t get that rose, I got a pink carnation and a mini brocade case from Mama’s Nyonya restaurant when we dined there for lunch.  Better than nothing la.

Happy Mother’s Day to all you awesome mommies out there!  May all your wishes come true!

And a very Happy Mother’s Day to my Mama, the queen of my heart and soul!  You’re da best!  I’m so glad I get to spend Mother’s Day with you this year! *grin*  Thank you for the freshly harvested sweet sweet persimmons you brought back from Perth too!  Y-U-M!

Oh, and also a special shoutout to Adino’s wife, Poey Chin, who just qualified to celebrate her very first Mother’s Day!  Congratulations Adino and Poey Chin, on the arrival of little Rachel!

Now, since it’s already Mother’s Day today, I’m gonna twist this tag a wee bit and give a chance to the daddies instead to fantasize about Father’s Day coming up in June.  Fair, no?

Hereby tagging:

Don’t hold back. Let it rip! Will you share your Mother’s Day/Father’s Day Fantasies on your blog? Then pass it on to other Mothers/Fathers to share. Let’s be silly and let our hair down. Then add your name and blog post url to the list and let it go around. I’ll start with mine. Anyone can participate in this. Just write your blog post and add your name to the list. It’s that simple.

Dandelion dream alphas from A work in progress 

Aiyo, I missed this dateline by a week liao.  According to this meme, I am supposed to post my entry a week after being tagged on a Friday, and I was tagged by the bento-crazy DSLR-maniac Hijack Queen some 2 weeks ago!  Eeeek.  Anyway, at least I am posting this on a Friday. :)

DO YOU PREFER…

1. To watch or participate?
Lazy Smart people like me WATCH and learn, and then selectively participate.

2. Malls, catalog shopping, or the Internet?
Must I only choose ONE?  I love ALL of those options.  Don’t you know that I am a kaki shopping?  Hence, I must live up to my name la.  Seriously though, it really depends on what I am shopping for.  I’d even go to the extent of shopping in all options available, weighing the pros and cons before I land myself the perfect bargain.  That’s the kaki shopping for ya.  … and men think we women take so long to shop!

3. A bath or shower?
A shower with full blast bursts of water.  Even better if there is a massage function in the nozzle.  Works wonders on the nape of the neck, y’know.  My usual routine now is to have a cold shower every night before bed.  The cold water keeps me alert enough to have have a quick read before I hit the sack.  And my skin never felt better.

4. To talk to people by telephone, in person or by e-mail?
Email, because I get to phrase everything out the way I want it, I get to use the backspace and delete key and then I have a black and white proof of what I sent and what replies I get.  Trust me, emails have come in handy for me all the time.  The downside to this is that *sometimes* people don’t really get what you mean.  Someone called me up sometime back and asked if I was angry with regards to the email I sent out.  I told him no, but he said that I sounded angry from the email.  However, no matter how I reread my email, I just couldn’t pinpoint where he misconstrued the anger.

5. Typing or writing?
Writing by typing.

And I am tagging:

Have a good weekend y’all!  And oh yeah, here’s wishing all mommies out there a fantastic Mother’s Day this Sunday!

Mystical superhero fantasy April 11, 2008

Posted by The Giddy Tiger in : Memes & Tags , comments closed

I missed getting tagged by her, but because she lately had a bout of NBTB, I was yet again given the honor by Rinnx! I’m really afraid she will use her telekinetic energy to move all my stuff away fast fast, so I had better do this real quick before she gets to me.


Photo credits

1. Superhero power I want
Shapeshifting. Just like the superpowers possessed by Mystique. I have always been intrigued by her, even though she is on the baddie side. Wouldn’t hurt if I had her body too, ya know…

2. Why?
Originally I wanted to choose the telepathy power or the invisibility power, but I figured if I could shape-shift, I could be in a room where no one would know of my existence and then I would be able to know what everyone was discussing. Not what they were thinking though. Unless they think out loud. Plus, don’t you think Mystique is sexay?!!

3. Downside of this power
People might not trust who I am, because they might perceive me as changing all the time. And I might lose track of who I really am, if I do it too often.

4. My superhero nickname
Stealth (I originally thought of Tigrex but it sounded too much like T-Rex). If there are any other better suggestions, you are most welcome to let me know.

5. My motto
I’m watching. And my theme song is “Every Breath You Take”.

6. Sworn enemy
Hypocrites. With this super power of mine, I can shape shift into anything I want just so I can find out what these people are up to.

7. Official vehicle
I can shapeshift into any vehicle of my choice, depending on my mood. Beemer, Jaguar, Toyota Highlander?

8. Day job
Fashion consultant. I can change my image, my attire, my haircut, my shoes and handbag as often as I want to suit the season’s latest fashion.

I had fun doing this meme. Anyone else wanna play? What about:

Paris
iamthewitch
Paik Ling
Wen
Health Freak Mommy
