What Simply Works!

Thinking of the many possible hobbies I could take on and learn, racing cars or anything related to cars is definitely out of the picture.  I know of a few guy friends who are into F1 stuff, from the drivers to Ferrari parts, but I see that their liking of such is limited to owning the car’s toy versions and being fans of popular F1 drivers.  I don’t know what fun you could get out of that but I’m sure there are possibly thousands of F1 fans out there.

My sister and I had the same dream car, a Toyota Camry.  I was fresh out from college and was on my first job when I saw a tall and beautiful lady driving a white Camry.  I told myself that I would someday be like her.  A powerful, career woman driving a sleek and white Camry.  Fast forward to present time, that car (or any car for that matter) is no longer in my wish list as well as that of being a career woman.

But for my sister, the dream came true.  Her va-va-voom of a car has been with her for more than a year now and the latest model looks very classy.  She is not worried yet over auto repair or having to check engine light as it was brought brand new.  It’s good that she has a personal driver that takes care of the car as well.

Vacation time is definitely over and reality has kicked in!  My muscles get a good workout looking after my very active 6-month old and an almost 3 1/2 year old who started preschool/day care last week.  Add to that the household chores.. which some of them I missed doing (honestly!).  So, with my round-the-clock job, who says I need discount diet pills?

We have a short list of must-see places for my mother who is with us now in Sydney.  That includes a visit to Hyde Park, Sydney Opera House and the popular Yum Cha place called Phoenix.  Nope, nothing too adventurous on the list like atv riding!  She is with us for only two weeks and we could only squeeze-in quick trips during the weekends.  Oh, mother, hope you had fun with us.. You will be missed!

Our first week back in Sydney has been smooth so far.  We have unpacked all of our stuff, that includes 2 20×20 boxes, 3 check-in luggage and 1 carry-on luggage and we managed to tidy up our house.  There is so much ironing to do though!  So my arms will definitely get a good work-out sans pull up bars! He he.  So many chores to do, so little time!
