      My first impression to the topic question was: Hobbies?!? Where got time for hobbies?!


      And then, I realise that where I can possibly try and squeeze in some ME time, then I do enjoy...

      1. Reading
      2. Retail therapy
      3. Recreational swimming

              Friend, you are good, still got 7 hobbies + number 8 surf http://www.kiaparents.com :salute: :celebrate:[/quote]Alamak, ks2me, u checking on me ah .... Come come, I break down for you, c if you can have a good laugh over it (if its worth laughing over it lah šŸ˜‰)

              I love to:

              1.read read and read

              5 to 15 mins b4 I sleep almost every nite or in ILs hse while others watching tv (not being anti-social but rather catching up on magazine reading) btw, I have books bought like 3 yrs ago during pregnancy not even read yet :!: and I am still stocking up šŸ˜„

              2.do yoga (just resumed after a long break)

              Every tues at CC, also at home at least 3 other times a week, even if its for 30 mins šŸ˜„

              3.shop shop and shop (but now more for DS's educational stuff)

              This one I have to squeeze in time. Its so bad that I have made DH wait at MRT station aft work for 15 to 20 mins cuz I am rushing to pick him up cuz overspent time at book fairs, book warehouse sales etc... poor fellow ... But today, a milestone was achieved - went to Sembawang SC with 2 and a half year old DS who waited patiently while I browsed thru a bookshop and bought some sets of 3 for $10 bks. Then at Popular, he helpfully picked out the wrong chinese readers for me telling me \"mummi, this one rite?\" cuz I was looking out for a particular title :love: . Good news, now I can bring him along nxt time and no need to sneak time out anymore :lol:

              4.watch DVDs (with DH)

              Strictly fri, sat nites or eve of hols/hols šŸ˜„

              5.watch tv serials

              Weekdays here and there, not a regular follower ... not anymore 😢

              6.KPO ard the ksp forum

              Anytime if can ... šŸ˜‰

              7.catch up with ex-colleagues and galfrds via phone

                  Used to like photography but find it a bit boring. Switch to videography about 2 months ago and still learning šŸ˜„ Editing is very time consuming and need lots of patience.


                  Eating is my hobby too .... Hubby always complains, why I must always travel so far to eat something I crave šŸ˜„ šŸ˜„

                      I was recently asked this question infront of a group of colleagues during a workshop which seek to train us to decode people. I was selected by the facilitator to stand infront of the group :shock: It was terrible for me because I blurted out, I only have time for my kids. Then he tried to ask me another question regarding time and again, I blurted out it was time for kids again. I don't know what kind of message this sends to my colleagues (all head of dept) and boss who are part of the workshop. :roll: Those sitting there must find me \"pathethic\" as besides career and kids, I got no time for myself. The fortunate thing is that most if not all of them have family so they probably understand my situation :? :xedfingers:


                      I do enjoy travelling and shopping. I use business trip as a chance to see places and shopping for the best deal for kids stuff. That's probably the only hobby I've at this point. Not forgetting surfing the net and visiting KSP and FB.

                        DH always says that I am a boring person, without any interests and any hobbies.


                        Hmm... that's because whenever I have time, I will spend it with my kids, or surf the net for materials for them.

                        Plus since Dec 08, we have no maid liao, so, also need to spend time to do housework mah.

                        Well... if really must list.... I usually do the following :

                        (a) Surf Kiasuparent...but I seldom post lah.
                        (b) Read my Reader's Digest.....I have been reading this since 1989....
                        (c) Declutter... but still have a lot of junk at home.... šŸ˜ž
                        (d) Used to watch \"Flash Forward\" with DH every Sunday night, but it has become too draggy.....
                        (e) Chat with friends/colleagues on MSN (during office hours :!: )

                        Very boring hor....

                        This year.... I'm planning to pick up yoga again.... Getting old...so need to do some exercise.
