Too idealistic

Sigh, find that I've been very discontented. Discontented with work, with standard of living, with the mess in my house, with my body, with my lack of sleep, lack of free time....

But I wonder if it's because I'm too idealistic. The desire in me to be the modern mom who still has a great career, who can handle a job in the day, be a great mom in the evening, can cook, can clean and have everything. But as I struggle to find my source of happiness I end up feeling quite the opposite.

And it didn't help that work was just crappy this week and I had to work late for so many evenings just to clean up s#$@. As a result, I feel so tired and worn out by the end of the day that even my patience with my two babies is wearing thin.

I hate feeling this way. I need to focus on the things in life that really matters. And it starts with eliminating the things that steal my time, my energy. That's why technology, or more specifically my iPhone is such a distraction sometimes. No doubt, it has brought me so much more convenience and entertainment, it has also kept me from the things that I should do or things that I enjoy more. At the same time, if I want to make my life more enriching, more satisfying, I have to start changing my mindset. Stop complaining and start making a change.

Belt out, *I'm starting with the man woman in the mirror, I'm asking her to change her ways...

Don't we have have such struggles to be a better person? I know I do... But I'll get better, I know I will. So please help me God.

Newbie on the iPhone 4

With so much hype on the iPhone 4, Alexis decided to make it my next present. This was to be my big present from the hubby for my birthday, valentine's day and anniversary present. I had a feeling that he was more interested to get it as a new toy. To show his sincerity, he was even one of those who queued overnight outside the M1 paragon on the day of the launch on 31 July so that I can be one of the first few in Singapore to own the iPhone. Now that I'm an owner of the iPhone 4, I'm very proud to say I'm a a iPhone convert!



The iPhone is so much better than my previous Nokia E63. I especially liked the fact that the phone has 5 megapixel and comes with flash. And the photo quality is so much better than my previous handphone which was only 2 megapixel! Now I can go trigger happy and snap away at my darling Sophie.

With the iPhone, it's so easy to get connected on my social networks like facebook, twitter and ebuddy. Surfing the website is just a breeze with the ability to scroll up and down with a flick of the finger too. Oh and have I even mentioned about all kinds of apps to keep you entertained, simplify your life, be updated with the news, etc

Oh and just in case you're wondering, the antenna issue is really over rated and blown out of proportion. I hardly had any problems! And what's more if you have a bumper then it's not even an issue at all!

Any apps that are highly recommended? Tell me about it!
