It has been a long while since I really have time alone. Ever since the kids were born it has been really been difficult to get time alone. Every day I have to steal micro seconds out of the jam packed schedule just to get a breather. It is a real luxury to be able to sit back on the couch and watch a bit of television. Gone were the days where I could do what I like and set my own schedule.

Here is a list of things which I miss about being alone

I miss being able to curl up in a chair and read a book from start to end.
Getting enough sleep.
Being able to enjoy a leisure meal.
Getting to finish my meal on my own without sharing it with someone and end up still hungry after an hour.
Having the TV on AXN or FOX instead of Disney Junior or Cartoon Network all the time.
Being able to shop for clothes without rushing through the shop
Enjoying the quiet. No shouting , screaming or whining in the background.
Spending as much time as I want on my hobbies.
Getting time to sit and relax.
Not having to have loads of laundry or chores to be done daily.

Do you miss being alone?

Do you prefer where you are now or rather be somewhere you were before?

Writer’s Workshop: Ultimate Favourite

Dominique Thoughts alpha thursday, mama kat's writers workshop, thursday two questions

my oven
My Oven is my ultimate favourite thing to have in the house. It was my birthday present from hubby two years back and my love for it is still going strong. I love the big capacity of 40L and ability to do two trays of cupcakes at the same time when I bake.

It’s a breeze to bake chicken nuggets/ fish fingers and heat up stuff using the oven. I’m using it more often these days then the microwave oven which sits right next to it. Even though it is a conventional microwave oven which can bake cakes too the texture and look pales in comparison to cake that come out freshly baked in an oven.

There are so many different things that I can bake/cook with the oven.

Here are some bakes which I have done in it.

Traditional Chinese Egg Tart
