Braids & Hairdos

Image
Since I'm pretty free now, I started indulging in dolling my girl up - hairwise! Braids are my fav, why not practise on her for school? So I started some fun and have been uploading my results in my FB album and Instagram . Here are some of my fav-themed ones so far. Inspired by the movie "Beauty and the Beast" Fancy butterfly effect Themed "Rainbow Dash" -  We're just trying to find some colour in this black and white world.  #somewhereovertherainbow #theresapotofgold Follow me now at @ashethlee   #ashethlee   #ashethleehair   #ashethleebraid

February 2017 & me - change of luck!

After CNY, I think my "luck" changed entirely. To me, for the better. Firstly, I'm changing career. Positions ended and I'm looking out for other interesting things I could do and enjoy. At the same time, I decided to send my previous maid back. She was OUTTA HAND! A few months back, I found out she had secretly purchased a new handphone (at the same time that I found my son's wallet missing with cash enough to purchase one). Her work just piled up (literally a mountain fulla clothes unironed, yard area very untidy, house unkept, etc. Attitude to the gramps. And the last straw came when she disappeared while we were out and was spotted with another gender! Immediately, I called the agent to pick her and send her off.

Hello 2017! We started it off with a home party on 1st Jan with our fav family and relatives, and celebrated Kaylee's and Ethan's birthdays together. We had so much food ingredients to use up post-Xmas. I made a strawberry shortcake birthday cake and randomly decorated with mini figurines (saved me some good money!) These two kiddos love each other so much. I'm so happy to be able to spend good time with them, though I wish I could have more time! And then, school began on 3rd Jan. It was Ethan's first day at Pri 1! Both the boys had a hard time getting up at the unkind hour of 5am. No choice, since their bus picks them up at 5.50am! Yea it is hard work wanting to send the kids to a "good school". I still subscribe to the belief of sending kids to a "good school" where possible. Unfortunately, it's a boys' school! So I'm gonna face a huge headache for Kaylee's enrolment. But... till then~
