My good old scrap book and a new one, perhaps

Help!! I want to do a scrap book but do not know how.  I've seen websites which teach us how to make our own scrap book but I find it hard to get myself to learn digital scrapping. Perhaps, age is really catching up for me to learn something new?? I still prefer the traditional way but yet I find them cumbersome.  If it's the traditional type, there will be a lot of cutting, pasting and also finding (among my clutter of stuff) for the right pictures and stuff which can relate to the stories I want to tell. I will post pictures of the scrap book I made umpteenth years ago.

What you wish you know?

I wish ...I know how to play the piano so that I can play it whenever I feel down. Who knows I may probably write a tune or two (stop dreaming! how many Beethoven are there?). ...I can ride a bicycle at least I can ride it with my husband or my son whenever we go for outing and not just wait and see by the side. ...I am a good chef so that I can cook a dish or two during pot luck for family gatherings' and not having to buy outside food ...I can sew so that I can mend a skirt or a blouse or even sew a zip for my kids' school pants without having to send to tailors ...I know how to write Chinese so that I am not handicapped when I pick up the Chinese newspaper or reading signages especially Chinese menus ...I can afford to have more kids so that I am not alone when I am old. I can have child No.1 visit me on Monday, child No. 2 visit me on Tuesday and so forth Actually I can just go on and on.  Aren't humans greedy and always ask for more?

It's finally here

Except the time when I didn't know that I had conceived, my 'best friend' was never this late. This was a record, it's 7 days late. So worried was I that I thought I suffered from premature menopause . What the? As I googled what premature menopause entails, something familiar strikes me.  A condition that I was diagnosed with by a well-known gynae in Gleneagles Hospital.  Let me get the facts right before I blog more about this condition of mine.  This happened many years back, could the gynae be wrong?
