Due to the nature of Allan’s job, he is like a SAHD. He is unavailable only during weekends and on occasional weekday nights. So you can imagine that the ‘work’ I need to do as a SAHM, isn’t that bad eh? *wink*

Its only when he signs up for courses or seminars, do I get a chance to be a ‘true‘ SAHM, completely on my own without any help. And so it shall be for 3 days, today till sunday. He had to leave the house at 8am and be home almost 12mn. Super long seminar eh? *wink* Its the Millionaire Mind Intensive Program. Well, I guess to be a Millionaire, there are too many tips to share…*laugh*

Its funny how the kids are MORE MANAGEABLE when their Papa is not around, maybe because there is only ONE person they could turn too, less confusion. *laugh*

So since my man is not around, I decided to do a post specially for him *wink*:~

I won’t consider myself to be a high-tech or digital person. You can say I’m practical or you can call me old-fashion.

I never feel safe with my stuff in the PC. ‘cos my PC did collapsed several times before, due to virus and spam and what-have-you. The end result? I had to re-format my whole PC, like giving it a heart-transplant and with that I lost everything I used to store in it.

Allan and I are very much the same kind of species. We love to look at our kids photos as and when we like, without the need to switch on the electrical power. I consider myself a lazy person. Though I would want to download all the photos from my sister’s digital camera, my handphone, Allan’s handphone, my BIL’s digital camera, slowly sort them out according to years and eventually get them printed…. too much work… so I’ve been procrastinating.

Allan knows me too well. So he just did it.

He bought folders with transparent slots in them. He went to get quality photo papers. Downloaded all my boys photos from all sources. Sort them out according to the year it was taken. Did some simple editing to the photos. Combined 4 shots into one page and started printing on the A4 photo papers.

And this was the result.

And he is still printing till this day, as and when we take new shots of our boys….

Up to date, there are 4 folders. First folder consists of photos taken in 2003 – 2005, total 168 photos for 3 years. How come so little? ‘cos we were so busy with out retail business, no chance to take more photos.

Second folder is for year 2006, total 164. The third folder is purely for last year, total 268 photos! It seems like its increasing by the year. *laugh*

And for this YEAR, it went waaaaay over! One folder is completely FILLED with 320 photos and there are still so many that are not printed out yet! So Allan decides to print everything first, count the exact number of slots needed (after 31st December) before he purchases the 2nd folder just for 2008! *Eyes Rolled*

Just in case some of you may wonder why I didn’t choose to get those photo-shops to develop them for us — it cost 50cents per photo and with our quantity, 168 + 164 + 268 + 320 = 756 x 50cents, it would have cost us $378.00!!!!

We did all these for less than $150, including the price of the ink! Isn’t that great savings? Allan didn’t think it was hardwork anyway… *wink*
