Our X'mas day

We did not have any special celebration for X'mas caused both Stew and I were too tired after a whole day of working. And with a superb active boy at home, I never had a good rest at all, even when i'm having my 'business' in toilet. *headache*

So on the first day of X'mas, we went for a walk at Jusco, Bukit Indah, with our neighbour. Again, it's crowd with people and when it was so crowded, I don't enjoy to shop. So nothing bought but simply a walk at Jusco. Probably due to my recent unhealthy condition, simply a walk tired me lots. I felt so exhausted and almost dozed off after having lunch.

At night, we had the kids to open their X'mas present. Xandria being on her usual self, so happy with anything i bought for her. Xavier too young to demand and simply enjoyed the fun of opening the present. For myself, I got a CD perfume from Stew. It has been years that I've not apply any perfume since the days i realized everyone in the family with nose allergy. Funny... I had to think of when to use it. Probably I should keep it in my office. As for Stew, I got him a new wallet of his favourite brand. That's all for our X'mas.

How time really flies... it's going to be a brand new year few days later. HAPPY NEW YEAR 2011, everyone...

Christmas is coming...

I love Christmas so much... as it always give me a very heart-warming feeling. Though the decorations, the festive food are all my favorite stuff and seriously, i can’t wait any longer for the celebration.

I’m thinking to have a simple dinner on the eve but it seem a bit difficult in view it’s on Friday. Probably i can have it on the Christmas day. Let’s see if i would able to take a day off for the preparation.

Heart with baby item

Just before you have any children, baby stuff like baby changing table would never attract your attention. But for me, i simply love it despite i’m not having any kid since young. And i love it because all items were made specially for a new life.

Family Photos

After having two kids in life, Stew and i had never took a photo which only two of us. It’s worst since arrival of Xavier. Seriously, not even a chance that allow us to take a photo of four. Since that, i told Stew that we need to have our family photo at the minimum. So off everywhere we went, we committed to have our family shot.

Here are our family photo taken throughout year 2010.

Happening November

Goshhh..... I’ve been not updating my blogger blog since my laptop was not functioning as well as my tight schedule in allocating both kiddos at mom’s place (in KL) for the reason of Xavier down with HFMD beginning of month.

Then the celebration of Xavier 2yo birthday with our parents.My initial plan was to have it at an Italian restaurant for lunch but in view of the old folks were not in favor of Italian food, we changed it to a Chinese seafood restaurant at Rawang. It’s a simple celebration as to get everyone together for a dinner.

 How time really flies and it has come to the end of November.

A good Dehumidifier

I simply love the design of Ikea’s Stolmen customized wardrobe. First of all, it’s so easy to install and what’s more the design is so simple and nice. Somehow, having a walk-in wardrobe, I just need a good quality dehumidifier like the I saw online on dehumidifier UK. It has a good dehumidify function according to the website.

pissing off......

I simply do not understand how a so-called General Manager owns her qualification for that position. The worst is when you noticed she can’t even think before words out from her ugly big mouth. ~ I got pissed off when it affected my performance ~ I got pissed off when my purpose of words has been twisted and became an opposition of what i was thought. ~ I got pissed off when she destroyed my name in front of MD. Apparently i got pissed off because of my superior doubt on me when she questioned me about it. Damn....

happy ever after

(picture from darkstarastrology.com)

I was sitting in front of TV watching on the news that announcing the engagement of Prince William and Kate Middleton. The news reported the engagement of Prince William indeed break the heart of thousand young ladies. But i can tell you, not only young ladies but even myself felt the same. When i said so, Stew broke into a good laugh. He said, ‘i would rather heard the same words from my daughter’.... *rolling eye*

May they happy ever after....

Replenishment works for home

Stew and I had indeed come out with a few plans on our house replenishment at dining area, especially for our home office and my desired gym room. Though the kids weren’t here for a week, we should get it done. Somehow, for a simple replenish job at dining area would cost us about thousand, not to say on the cost for our home office and gym room. I just cannot imagine how much we need to spend on it. How I wish I own a high investment on bullion that guaranteed with high return.

Some said, keep the money for future use rather than spend it on the unnecessary renovation works. So what say you?

Photobook for year 2009

Finally, i got my photobook completed.  After pending for don’t know how many weeks or months, I decided to get it done before it expired as well as before I forget about it. Gosshh… it’s like taking years to complete.

Talking about its quality, I got speechless with it simply because it’s so good. With the price I paid, it is inclusive of a sleeve box. Don’t you think it’s so worth it?

On the way...

It’s 2.30 in the morning and we are on our way heading to JB. It's so good to be able to online while on the 3 hours journey using broadband.

We decided to let kiddos stay with mom for a few days since Xandria so happy with her cousins. Having to take care a sickening babe at in-laws house and the same time in need to check on Xandria condition who stayed with mom simply tired me. I got to travel from 2 difference places within a day in view of Xavier require for quarantined. Some said, it takes more than weeks for HFMD to completely recover but i had no choice. Like what doc said, it is hard to stay apart for siblings. As long as kiddos wash their hands before food, it should be fine.

Depuy Hip Recall

Anyone has the experience of Depuy hip replacement should know the good and bad of the said surgery. To the least when you had no much choice, you would have to take the risk after all.

My mom who had car accident years ago went for such surgery. Somehow, she suffered the pain and minor swelling from the surgery then. Since then we noticed the implant was under Depuy recall and patient are require to undergo second surgery as result of recall. According to the surgeon, second surgery somehow more difficult and patient may suffer more complications too. We had no choice and to undergo the said surgery.

Thank god that everything went smooth and mom has recovered from the pain caused by implant. If you need more info about DHR, find assistance from O’Hanlon, McCollom & Demerath – Personal Injury Lawyers – 808 West Avenue, Austin, TX. 78701 – 512-494-9949

getting lost...

So many things need to be done, so little time I have to get all done. Though kiddos are staying with mom and I should have plenty of time for my stuff. Man..... I was so wrong. Time flies like a flick of finger, and myself was like having difficulties in staying alive without my flesh blood by my side. Despite it's just a day apart, I've been missing them sooooooo much.

In KL due to HFMD

We were in need to go back KL due to Xavier infected with HFMD. I understand in certain circumstance, it is unavoidable for children got infected with disease. But seriously i got upset with babysitter. I am so damn upset for being my kiddos got infected when it is suppose to be avoidable. I called and asked why she allows her infected niece stayed at her house. Why was she so careless and never done any clean up after her niece left? I simply don’t understand and unacceptable when it happened on my child. These people will never bother what a working parent would need to do having a sickening child. It’s like they only think of having a rest day for themselves or what. It has been more than 3 days and i never got a single calls from the babysitter in asking Xavier condition.

CPF for investment

I always have the thought on how good is Singapore government is. The citizens are well protected by their government with well planning and welfare too. Simply on the women right in having 3 months of maternity got me impressed. Not to talk about their senior citizens. Lately, I was told those employees are allowed to use portion of their CPF for any investment. Somehow, the return of the said investment would have to deposit within the CPF account. Doesn’t it sound so great?

I’m thinking if it is for me, i would use the sum of money for gold bullion investment that guaranteed on good return. How i wish i am a Singaporean now...........

I'm bored

I always wish that myself, to be able to update my blog daily. Somehow when I about to start on it, some other things would come across and distracted me. Yeah, it's so hard when my boss keep Recently, I found myself acting so weird toward my job. Or I should say 'I am loosing INTEREST' on it. My In-tray was piling up with pending documents that require completing in time but, i just don’t feel like doing it.

Goshh.... It’s going to be a long weekend ahead... and i’ve been thinking where to bring kiddos to.

Happy BOSS-day

How time actually flies... just when i thought it has been 3rd celebration of birthday since i joined the company. From someone who used to nag everyday to becoming someone she begins to trust. Thinking of it, i guess I’ve succeeded in getting her trust. Despite of previous bad guidance from her, still she is the ever great boss to me. At least, i got to learn from her in terms of her roles of being a wife, a mother, a daughter and a sister to her family. She indeed done a great job on that.....

Happy BOSS-DAY.....

new way of investment

When a man got his outstanding mindset in setting up a new kind of business and make money from it, others would automatically begin to follow on its kind of business. If you would travel to some outskirt area and happened to see a building like this, would you wonder what that is for? I would and always wonder how people run a factory or stay at home like that?

Yes, it is a building for bird nesting purpose. These days, many are invested in this kind of business and it’s against the legal when you turned the existing building into this. If you did your marketing at the wet market, you will find hawker selling on this ‘local’ bird nest with real cheap price. Just when i thought how many people would buy from it, to the least that i know i wouldn’t be that one.

Perhaps i will if i had extra tonnes of gold coins for spend.

Heading back to KL

We are heading back to KL in a few hours later. Though I have a very important occasion to attend, that’s my best wedding on the Halloween day. It’s kind of excited when knowing to meet friends from secondary, probably some from primary school time too. At times, I’ve been asking myself what to wear and what subject to talk about when meeting them. I’m a bit freaked about it when thinking of it… The bride told me to dress up kiddos in Halloween costume (if I would to tag them along). I guess it’s going to be fun wedding party. Can’t wait for it….

Btw, HAPPPY HALLOWEEN everyone…..

shoes can be TOYS too

If you think kids m may only interested on something in bright colour, then you are lucky to have such ordinary kiddos. For my kiddos, anything that they never experienced on it will soon becoming their new toys for exploring...

 See what they both did on my heels and daddy’s sandal...

 Xavier shouted and said: 'mommy...see, shoe'..........*speechless*

Prevention on termites

Owning a house is easy, somehow to take a good care of it rather a tough job especially if to prevent it from termites. I know it is always to do prevention rather than doing a curing. Just when I had about to engage a pest control (probably like Houston Pest Control) to inspect on the termites problem, I got to know from our neighbor who already had the same problem after staying years at existing house. It’s terrible when I know the causes were from another neighbor house.

Just without having second thought, I immediate signed up with a complete package to prevent the same problem at my house.

scrap-booking

I always so fancy with handmade stuff or craft. Somehow when i wish myself to spare time for this interest, something came across and i got stumbled with it. Like on scrap-booking, I simply wish I can do it when kiddos in their dreamland. Just when i thought of start it, i noticed it is so hard to find on material. They are many of this shop in KL but not in JB. Just it so happen i found one in Sutera Mall. I can’t wait to join their workshop soon.

thinking too much

Children being children, they talk whatever in their mind. Xandria was shouted out of sudden with ‘mommy, 做爱了’ (for direct translation should be ‘mommy, make love’). I got surprised with what the heck she was talking about and who taught her that. But then, I broke into a good laugh when she pointed at TV show called ‘爱, Love’. Apparently, she was trying to tell me that the show is now broadcasting.
I think we adult been thinking too much…

I just need more

When Stew shown me on games that he downloaded for Xandria, i was real impressed with it. The designs of games are awesome when it complies with Apple’s software. The smoothness of the said touch screen function surprised me. Comparing to other brands of smart phone, it is worth for it’s price. Now that my turn to say: I WANT IPHONE 4 TOO.....

Again, if to own an expensive like this ... i wonder if my investment in gold bullion able to provide me more than good return, not only to own a gadget but also a luxury vacation too. I just need more money to enjoy life ....

what is that so UNIQ about uniqlo?

I simply don’t get it what make everyone so crazily about a newly open of Uniqlo boutique. Just before on it’s official opening day, everyone was talking about it. The newspaper, magazines and even bloggers would write about it too. And some people have planned to queue up on the opening day. What really make these people so crazy about it?

After all, it’s just a piece of cloth you wear to cover your body everyday.

Still i feel bad to him

I missed him so much... he was the one who use to share my sadness with me, who i can spend my most of time with when Stew away from me. I wonder how is he by now? When i happened to pass by a pet shop this afternoon, looking at a baby Golden Retriever it even make me thinking of him. I don’t feel good when knowing the fact that i had to send him away......

He is 5 years old by now... I wonder if his baby looks like him too. I missed you, boy!!!

LED TV that cost life income

As we were shopping at Singapore last weekend, we found a display of 58’ LED TV shown at the entrance of electrical store. Apparently, it’s a 3D TV. The ever best was when we were having such chances to watch on it. Gosh... it’s so real and even you could feel like the object was just right in front of you. It’s awesome i can say. But to own it is almost similar to spend on my annual income. SGD12,000 which equally to RM26K is real put me in shocked. Perhaps, I could ever own it if only with my good return from gold coins.

it's good to surf freely

Finally..... i get to surf freely with new broadband that Stew signed up with. After getting tonnes complaints from me due to my paid post were being rejected without knowing it and caused the lost of my USD30. It’s kind of pissing me off when all effort in rushing to complete the timeline done, and at the end of day that to get nothing after a hard work done. I hate this feeling.... and now, i feel so much better for able to surf as i wish....

Now that i know myself can’t live without INTERNET....

A leisure visit to Firefly Valley

Like i always tell myself, despite with tight and busy schedule of life, i would still in need to balance my life for my kiddos. I enjoyed weekend or days off with them. Weeks ago, we were exploring to another places of interest in Johor. It’s called Firefly Valley Leisure Park. From the name it sound so leisure to be visiting there...and there we went there for a walk.

Kids being kids, were so happy with such outdoor activities.... Visit my other blog for more photos...

How I wish...

When I got to hear that people around me having their nice vacation to beaches like Maldives, I felt so envy for it. Lately, I heard an old friend was just returned from his vacation to Santorini, Greece. Sometimes I wonder how these people actually afford to travel to oversea so often and what’s more to stay at luxury hotel. If it is for me, I wonder how many pieces of gold bars I need to invest for just in order to have such luxury breakaway.
Gosh…. I want my vacation back. I want to go for a breakaway. I missed my ME time so much!!!

REP....

Life is short....after so many accurate predictions done and being famous for its specialty, we came across to that news that he is gone. Yeah, Paul the physic of world cup is death in sleep. Some news were claimed that it has been death 3 months ago.... whether it is 1 month or 3 months, the fact is HE IS DEATH now. May HE rest in peace........

Hit by shopping bugs

I got hit by shopping bugs lately. Simply because of Jusco Member Day SALES (which on 20 & 21 Oct) and i spent hundreds just on few things bought like kiddos clothing, baby care products, diaper & daddy’s working outfits. Then, another few hundreds spent on Chinese herbs & tonics from Eu Yan Sang when i noticed they were having promotion too. You can imagine how much i spent by counting on the voucher i redeemed.

Le Creuset Cookware

I’ve been drooling to own a set of Le Creuset cookware since the day I watch Rachael Ray show. Somehow, simply to own a piece of it has cost in a tonne. If you would ask me what is that so special about this cookware, I can tell you that nothing so special about it. Just it made of cast iron and fill with colorful, sparkling color.
You can imagine the price of owning a set of 9 pieces could be more than 10k, which is out of my expenses budget. Some said, it is worth to own it as it keep your food as fresh as it cooked. While some told me,” I rather use the money for bullion investment.” So what you say?

Xavier, the little cheeky...

How time real flies... without knowing it passed, i just realise that Xavier is going to be on 23 months old today. This little cheeky boy of mine always drives me up to wall, yet at times he is my beloved darling.

See, how cheeky he is with jie-jie hair pin...

 As almost on 23 months old, he is doing well with his development so far. But he is still the little monster at home. On speech wise, consider a slow learner compared to Xandria. She is rather a good speaker now. Countdown to his 2yo birthday.... seems we shall have another round of party-ing soon.

it's for showing off

I got so excited when I finally got a connection at home for FB-ing. After lacking off so many months, it’s like a brand new thing to explore…

It’s fun to FB-ing, people love to share almost everything with their networks. Eventually I found it is more like showing off instead of sharing. Of course, not all doing so, justification should depend on how well you know about that person and their personality. But I assure the majority goes on showing-off.

I got friends who showing off on his/her new gadget or new house. Showing off how good life he/she is by staying in an acres size house or to show off on how often places he/she left the footprint on & etc. No offence to those who did so, after all its all your business. Or maybe on one fine day, I did that too… I guess it is a new trend of life and I am getting so outdated now….

Adn here is my new profile photo in FB....

nice??? i simply love it...

Professional Attorney

With the advance of technology nowadays, they are many thing can be changed even your sexuality, from male to female, from an ugly duckling to a beautiful swan. It is good for such advancement somehow nothing is prefect and sometimes thing may get wrong without realized.

As we flipped on newspaper, they were so many failure cases happened and victim tends to unable to seek help from the professional. It would be good to have attorney just like Accutane Lawsuit to provide professional advice not only on cases like this but also on cases like injury caused intentionally and others for complete liability claims.

stereo systems

I got freaked out when think of being SAHM, at times I got frustrated with kiddos and Stew lately. It was like I am the only one who has to take care the family and I do completely not own any free moment for myself. One thing that can keep me occupying is to reorganize my house. Though I need to setup a personal room with nice set stereo systems to relax myself with music.

Randomly on Friday

Before got married, I love taking photo of myself. Somehow, I lost such interest probably because of unable to pose the best of myself after having two darlings. Still, I love taking photo but it would be my children to be my model.

Xandria, my sweet darling......

I love this photo so much...........

My niece, Jia Xin (6 months older than Xandria)

Xavier the little cheeky...

My nephew: Chen Jun (2 months younger than Xavier)

A sloth thoughts

Probably due to tiredness I had over the long weekend, I got severe headache on Monday and my entire body was so in pain. Went for diagnosis and doc advised to take a good rest due to overwhelming tiredness to my muscles.

So basically I’m having extra days for my long weekend and till then, I had lost my enthusiasm to work. Now that I feel so good to be at home, without having to think of office work, without having to deal with irritating people. How good life would be, if having to stay at home and doing your favorite stuff. I should own gold bullion in order to do so, don’t you agree?

Another fun moment for Kite-ing

With the visit of my sister, the kiddos were having so much fun with their peer cousins. Despite of not going anywhere at staying at home, four of them still having the ever-lasting fun time together.

On the evening, we decided to go kite-ing again as seem JX & CJ has never experienced it before.

Children being children, love to fight on anything, love to be free by run here and there …



THREE

It was a long weekend and we had simple birthday party for Xandria. Simple, fun and happier party for her… she was the most happiest girl on the day with her favorite cousin JX present, anything and everything would be fine with her. And she even dotes on the little brother of JX, Chen Jun.

The party was great fun, the weekend was indeed happening too….

That so called Domestic Helper

Since the day I sent my Indon maid for helping my mom, I got so freaked out with the so called part-time Philippino maid. She is neither can take care of children, she can’t even do house chores which is so commonly for a maid. Everyone was telling me that Philippino maid is rather better than Indonesian maid. At least, they were educated and well speaking. Somehow I found it in opposition way. The Philippino maid has never done house chores for the past 26 years, and she is like a princess at her hometown. One thing came across my mind that ‘how can the maid agent get such quality of maid?’ If I would to ensure that no communication barrel between us, probably I should go for online military degrees in language learning.

During HOT Sunny day...

It’s always good to have outdoor activities like swimming especially to both kiddos. They simply love playing with water. Anything with water, they would not resist despite a cup of water. So on the National Day, we went for our first swimming outing. It was a HOT, SUNNY day, all of us were enjoyed that splashing moment… Being as a mommy, the best moment I enjoyed not that myself but kiddos having so much fun time...

Xandria wanted to swim by her own....

Xavier never freaked of water despite felling into water & choked by water few times. This boy of mine...

24 hours to her BIG 3

Having a simple party indeed not an easy task. From planning till preparation, it took every single token mind of mine. I tried my very best to fulfill her request on the Mickey Mouse theme party and I extremely for the entire preparation. Somehow I am so desperately looking forward on it.

And it's a long weekend ahead, happy holiday to all non-Muslim!!!

Frustrated

Obviously, August 30 is not a present day again. I got nagged by my demanding boss on an unreasonable matter. Just that she need someone to vent her frustration off and guess what, I am the lucky one. When everyone happily looking the day-off tomorrow (due to National Day) and I got pissed off for it. It is always that those low-payable incomes like us who get the kind treats while the opposition group deserve for a good one.

Like I always said, God never pay an equally love to everyone. I simply wish that I own tonnes of gold bullion which allow me to live freely without having to worry about financial.

what do you think how I think of you?

Further to what had happened on babysitter, I felt so irritated on her since then. Our relationship also has become not that closed. Seriously, she has broken the trust between us with her action. Initially I respected her for who she is and the way she handle everything but it has no longer exist.

We no longer have topic to talk with and I simply feel irritated meeting her. To her, I think she feel what I felt from just a short chat this morning. She said, please don't think of anything if I am unable to attend Xandria party'... I wondered what she'd thinking that I am going to think of with her absent?? It was you yourself knew how people will think of you with what you done. You get what I mean??

ghost whisperer

You might think that I’m a freak for doing so. I am a big fan of ghost whisperer series. I can scarify my sleeping hour just to watch it everyday Thursday midnight (on NTV7) & Saturday morning (on Channel 5). What caught my attention to watch it without failed should be the story that help spirit to re-born. I like the way of investigation that Melinda did. It’s kind a interesting ....

V face, anyone?

I always find my face a bit puffy and as time passing by, from an oval shape become an big, round circle. Though everyone would saying that an oval shape of face would look more young from your age. As you watch the commercial ads, majority of it were trying to tell you to shape up not only your body figure but also your face and even MAN needs it too.

Apparently, they are many ways to slimmer your face to becoming V face always (like mentioned on the ads)!! As I google online and advises found that to massage your face daily is the best, efficient of apart from applying on those cosmetical products. Just what I know from a Cosmetology School in Austin too. So if you wish to have V face, try it...

storybooks for kiddos

I know how important to train your kids to read. I started to do so to Gen-x, especially Xandria. She simply likes to flip (not read) storybook. After all, it’s a good beginning for a toddler at her age to do so. So i just let her be.... as long as she did not scribbling on the book. Few weeks back, Rachel asked if I’m interested to order storybook (Scholastic ) from Philip’s kiddy. Without doubt, i told i will email my order list to her. If you read a storybook called ‘No, David, No’, then you know this publication company. I’m kind of like their artwork and storyboard.

And that’s really kind of her for such favour. Many thanks, Rac!!!

you know...it's HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!

Happy birthday my darling...

No special dinner for you

No special gift to you either

And initially no cake for you too... but you were saying to buy one because of your two loving angels.

I know LIFE may piss you off sometimes,

I know having a clumsy wife like me might ALWAYS put you speechless...

But you know, you truly know that how much i feel about you.

You ... not only you but with your children complete me.

Sorry if i had done something that dismayed your day...& HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!

The New iPhone 4

Iphone 4… I guess it is the hottest issue nowadays. Whenever or wherever you are, everyone is talking about owning this new gadget and it has become a fashion by owning it. To me, having to buy it more like having to buy a branded bag. I wonder how much I need to invest on the bullion in order to get enough money for owning this gadget.

A friend of mine got addicted to Apple series of products. From desktop PC to laptop, from mobile phone to ipad, he has almost own all of it. And now, the new launch of iphone 4.

our routine life....

Despite of my heavy workloads at office, i tried to convince myself not to stay for overtime. I wish that I’ll be able to spend more time with kiddos even on weekdays. Something i like the most when i went to pick up kiddos from Ah-Ngm’s. Their calling.... ‘mommy....mommy....mommy’. I simply love to see their excitement expression shown.

When we got home, both behaved like an army at the battlefied and started to conquer on whatever they wanted. Xavier, always looking for food to munch and Xandria always find something new to play with....

These days, this is what her toys...

she claimed she is going to school with this bag and stucked the bag with her storybook...

party soon for Xandria

How time really flies… Xandria has going to be in her big 3 in less than a month. Stew and I has made up mind to give her a simply party on her big day. I guess not only children love party, I do love party-ing… I like inviting guests to my house, I like seeing happy faces with all good greetings. Guess I’m kind of too stress on my works…

Apparently having a party needs lots of planning and preparation, especially for people like me who is perfectionist of life. I want a simply party yet a fun one to my gal. It’s rather sounds like mommy is going to have fun… LOL

and she is telling me to have Mickey Mouse for her birthday...guess she has influenced by me.

Freedom to surf

I want my freedom to surf………

I just love to google online on thing that I might not know, I simply enjoy surfing net and blogging about thing I wanted on my blog. Somehow, my only rights were taken away. For an employee, I think that is the only ‘entertainment’ we had when we got pissed off on works.

Just lately, I got to know that idiot who doing the blockage so free by sitting down of his PC and checking on what website of each employee surf. Didn’t that sound so freaking stupid???

Gold vs Gift

I am a life perfectionist requester and I want almost everything in life are well planned, well-maintained or well-chosen. Therefore, choosing a gift for someone I love can be a tough task for me especially to my dearest mother. I committed myself to buy gold jewelry to her every year on Mother’s Day. Somehow, with that pricey gold rate nowadays, I am no longer affordable to buy for her. I should be listening to her advice in keeping the gold when the rate was so low few years back. I’m kind of regret for not doing so, otherwise I’ll be making good return by selling off now.

Again...

I know life never been easy to me, still I am trying my best to cope. Lately, I found myself hard to compromise with Stew’s point of views. At times, i felt he has changed. He has changed completely from the person i first met. From a very thoughtful, a highly esteem in my views to someone that only think of himself. Like what he always mentioned that he is kind a envy with his cousin who wife totally support to the husband’s view without having any doubts.

We both got speechless after an argument happened last night. Not a word of greetings... if a relationship of husband & wife to be like what he expected, I found it meaningless....

family trip soon...

After having so many times of empty promises, I denied in believe of what he would plan for family trip to overseas or anywhere else. But today, I simply got surprised when I was told about overseas trips on the coming months. Stew has pre-booked on the flight ticket during the promotion of AA. Yeah, we are going to Bali soon, my long waited destination.

It not a matter of where exactly the destination is but his effort for such planning. What else can I say???

our recent trip to Penang with my in-law...

Gold bars investment

We all know that by having a permanent job will not enough to sustain your life expenses especially when price of daily groceries has gone up. It will become double burden when you have children.

Like what most people do, investment is the best way of earning extra income. Somewhat, which or what kind of investment to go for? As I search around, investment on gold bars provide the safest, faster return investment among all. Like an American Gold Bureau, they have expertise to guide you, to coach you on when is the best time to sell of your gold at the high rates. With their expertise, investment can be so simple and easy….

it's for shaping up

After having more than a child, the body shape has completely gone out of shape. I hate looking myself in front of mirror and when i look at my flappy tummy, it got me frustrated for reasons. I wish to sign the slimming treatment but it cost a tonne. Though if they would something cheaper to try on and i got this from my colleague....

After a month of trying, it has given not much different but it does help especially when you are wearing tight clothes.

Just LIFE...

Life is always that busy... and i always hoping that weekend to come so that i would have my personal time for rejuvenate my body. Eventually i ended to do nothing but my time all being occupied by kiddos. Being a working mother of two indeed tighten up my life... at times, i find my life is so COMPLETE.

Travel with budget air

It is always so good to be able for a short breakaway. Over the weekend, we went to Penang via free seat of AA.

You know I just noticed, travelling with young children via budget flight can be torturing if respective airport did not provide Sky Bridge for passenger. We were confounded when it rains like cats & dogs the moment we landed. Imagine, I was cuddling Xavier with another hand of holding an umbrella, and stepped down from the ladder. None of the flight attendant or airport assistant would offer help to hold umbrella for me. What a shameful service….

I told Stew that I’m going to invest on gold coins which managed by United States Gold Bureau in order to earn my upcoming trip via MAS or SIA airline.

I miss...

Because of personal reason, I was in force to take leave and back to KL for long weekend. Somehow, i proposed to my boss if I can still work in KL branch for 2 days and she agreed.

I just realised it has been so long that I did not drive alone in Klang Valley. So long till I got lost on the way back home. The flyovers confused me and had no idea which one to turn, ended to take Federal Highway. The night scene of KL was so great... despite of heavy traffic. I guess it’s a good chance to take a look of KL city. The more I enjoy the night travelling moment, the more I miss about KL life.

Another year passed...

Another year passed.... the very first company annual dinner I attended last year happened simply like few months ago. And now, we were having another year of celebration. How time flies...

Compared to last year, this year's celebration was more fun with more activities & gifts sponsored. Guess, I got a lousy handphone with no camera. Better than nothing, right?

The dinner was ended about 1am but I sneaked out and left the dinner at 11.30pm due to Xandria cried for mommy and refused to sleep with daddy. Sighh.... by the time I reached home, it was 12.30am due to take a wrong route home.

we LOVE gold

Don’t we Chinese love gold very much? Obviously we are and my mom is a good example. She simply owns many types of gold in bracelet, necklace, pendant and so on. She has been nagging me to keep the gold as an investment by saying that the gold price would definitely goes up as time passed. True enough. Imagine it was at the price of RM30 plus for a kilograms and becoming RM100 plus for a kilograms now. I should be listening to her when the gold price wasn’t that hike. I should have invested on it by buy gold eagle coins or whatsoever to earn extra income.

If I lost HER...

I heard many cases of loosing your children in shopping mall and be frankly, I feel nothing but wondering how come the mommy can be so careless.

Seriously, I never feel so scary for the rest of my life before. The moment I noticed she wasn’t with me, I was like being punched with empty mind. That feel was extremely horrible and you won’t feel it if you yet to be a mother. I was so worried she must be scared & cried until soundless, and I scared that I won’t be able to find her if she has been kidnapped. There were many kind of bad thoughts jumbled inside my mind and I was so lost that moment.

I think GOD heard my cry and we found her at last. Yes, she was crying till soundless. I told myself this was the first time and also going to be the last for it to happen.

Happy Birthday to me...

Happy Birthday to me, I said to myself when I was in front of the mirror this morning.

Stew was the first person who greeted me at 12.05am but I was rather expected he gave something to me instead. And he didn't. Until I'm at the petrol kiosk to fill up my fuel tank, I found something new that I never know it should be belong to me. Yeah... it's a brand new wallet from him. Not a brand like LV, G? or Coach but an ordinary brand and I found it suit to my daily use. What else can I expect him huh??

Thanks dear....

Simply ranting on....

Something advantage when you staying JB. You got the free channels of Singapore to watch and it’s not only 1 but more than one channel to watch. From TV series, children education programs to documentary. I simply love to watch on traveling channel and I am extremely wish to go for a short escape but Stew hold it back due to Gen-X are too young for traveling. When the kiddos are at the age that suitable for traveling, Stew gave me reason that he need to save more for the entire expenses.

Don’t you think I should go and buy gold bullion, earn the money for our trip instead of waiting for Stew?

Our Sunday

Backdated post on 31/5/2010

I am extremely busy. But no matter how busy life would be, I know I have to spend more time with kiddos especially during the weekend. We have a playground at park nearby our neighborhood. Both Xandria and Xavier love to hang around there. That is why we had to wake early despite it’s our day off.

Look at their happily faces, I know it’s worth it….

Solution for aged skin

Being as women, we never stop finding ways to make ourselves to look younger, prettier and gorgeous. Especially when you noticed the changes after taking care two young children.

I have skin problem since young and the money spent on my skincare products, visiting skin doctor indeed enough for me to travel around the world. If I would know about Oxis, I can save much on my ineffective products. As I check through their website, their products are all with anti aging, antioxidant, glutathione, penny stocks & free radical. Doesn’t this sound great for people like me?

If you do interested, you may visit to http://www.oxis.com/, or Oxis on facebook or follow to Oxis on Twitter for latest update info.

If I'm a millionaire

I read a news that a man who won lottery and become a millionaire in a night. We were gossiping about this topic during our lunch and every one of us started to dream if we are the man. Some said, to travel around the world with partial of money and keep the rest of it in bank. While some said to quit the job and start to live with no worry. And I said, they all are silly by simply spend on the money. I would rather go for investment like either investing in gold or to buy gold coins at a trustworthy bureau, which I can double up my money. Don’t you agree that?

I'm a mad shopaholic...

It was Member sales at Jusco last Thursday. I never know about it until Serene told me (though we planned to meet up there). Eventually, we didn't cause I was tight up with my work and kiddos. And I told myself that nothing that I wish to buy too.

You know life is always unpredictable. My boss was away to KL and my colleague asked if I'm interested to go with her (for shopping at Jusco) during lunch hour. Goshh... I tell you what. We both were shop like a mad woman. Simply in an hour, I spent RM200 for kiddos clothing & some household stuff without realize…

I need a powerful connection at home

If you do follow my blog, you know I’ve decided. Yeah, decided to let go my career and being a stay-at-home mommy for my kiddos. I know it’s going to be a very tough life ahead especially my 2 kids are extremely hard to handle and myself, lack of experience in nursery. I know I had to get myself prepared, both mentally & physically.

I started to plan my life as fulltime mommy. I told Stew I don’t need anything else but super high-speed connection at home. Because I can’t live without Internet… in fact, they are many things that I can’t live without…

Lately, I’ve searched hi & low on wireless access point. Existing, we have D-Link 2.4GHz Wireless Access Point - DWL-2100AP at home but seem it’s time to change a new one. Probably I should consider something like EnGenius ECB Wireless Access Point, seem very good. I hope it help...

I saw what you did...

The highway toward my office is always with heavy traffic especially morning, everyone is running late to work and start to loose their patient by using emergency lane. Yes, you heard me. It’s emergency lane…

As I was still bumper-to-bumper, a Camry (at emergency lane) start to click on her signal & squeeze into my queue. Then immediately she squeezed into fast lane. Why?? Because we had BIG FAT GUYS waited in front of junction. I feel a bit upset though she could runaway from summon but guess what, opppsss… I saw what you did just now. Don’t you ever think of running away! All of us were stopped and she was asked to park her car for issuance of summon.

I feel very sam liong (happy) lor....... Come on, everyone was stucked in the jam and who you think you are to cut queue?? You know, I ended to reach office at 8.50am...

stress OFF

The moment when you decided to let go your career, you will find NO mood for your job. The worst is, I find everyone in this organization are annoyed. Not because of their face but their way of working.

Now that I know, I’ve been too kind to them all these while by helping this & that and the moment you refuse to provide anymore of assistance, you are the BAD guy now.

I hardly out for lunch but these days, I drive and simply to anywhere (without having destination) as long as I could out from my workstation, as long as I wouldn’t need to look at those annoying face, irritated files and so on. I just need a moment of ME time… I just to take a deep breath & to relax myself…

I can't

For about a week, I do not owe a car for my daily activities. I can’t:

~ sneak-out during lunch hour and shop at nearby shopping mall
~ settle my bank matters
~ visit to kiddies/ learning center which I’ve enquired
~ go marketing during weekend (which I pretty enjoyed)

Most importantly, I can’t go wherever I want but got to wait for my chauffer (aka hubby) to drive me here and there.

And for now, I was like a bird that just got freedom to fly away from cage. I got all above settled in 2 days. Hahaha…

Now that I know……..I can’t live without a CAR!!!

Singapore Zoo

We had a great weekend; what’s more it’s a public holiday. Stew decided to bring kiddos for a short breakaway. Initially, we planned to go Malacca but I rejected due to long distance and hot weather, which I don’t really like it.

We ended to go Singapore Zoo. Gosh…. Xavier was being so excited. For him, as long as u say ‘gai-gai’, he got very excited and heading to the door.

Tax valued for gold bullion

If it is not a pay tax day, we would never know that we’re been earning so much annually. The more you earned, the more you pay for your tax. So, when you saw the five figures of your tax amount, what is your first response?? I got my small eye stretch to open big, my mouth open real wide (can fit my punch). Imagine, you are paying such huge amount to the government and the return from it is almost equal to zero. The more I calculated, the more I feel deplore for it. In fact, I can use the amount of money to buy gold bullion for my investments.

Tax day...

It’s a last day for tax submission tomorrow. Like what most Malaysian did, Stew submitted ours at very last minutes. He has been scratching his head till to his toes for a minimal submission.

Fighting for TV

Many people were asking if my Gen-X do fighting for toys. Yes, they do and it happened almost everyday. The worst is, they fight on anything… even on a TV remote control, pacifier, or laundry basket.
The other day when our 22 inch lcd tv has been monopolized by Daddy for his favorite TV program, the kiddos has nothing to do but found that laundry basket which left by the maid at the living hall. Xavier was the founder and wanted to slot his little tiny body into the basket.

I feel annoyed...

I feel annoyed when I noticed thing never turned out as planned.

I feel annoyed when I know I was been taking for granted by someone I trusted

I feel annoyed if my the other half but unable to help

I feel annoyed when I missed my boss 2 calling tunes and being accused for didn’t pick up her call

I feel annoyed for not being able to do whatever I wish

I feel annoyed...

I wish...

It’s kind of release when you got your solution for your problem. I’ve since decided to let go my career, somehow I found myself so hard in tendering my resignation to my boss. Do you get what I mean? It’s not like giving her a letter and then you may just go-off like that.

In fact, I’ve been thinking all kind of reasons to tell her if she asks for one. I can simply tell her that I’ll be full-time taking care of my children, but that’s not the only reason I wish to tell. The frustrations, irritation, stress that she has been tossing to me are in due course. I wonder how many of the staff will do so when they are about to leave the company…

Yeah, I’ve yet to tender my resignation as on today. Though Stew and I agreed to have a proper planning on that. After all, it’s not that myself to decide when you have a family to take care of.

The beauty of women

To women, beauty is something precious that money unable to buy. To women, beauty is their confident, is their life. And that is why, they are thousand of women willing to spend few thousand for a plastic surgery just because they want to be look ‘pretty’.

For me, I’m strictly rejected on plastic surgical, which may cause side effect to our body. Instead of spending five numeric prices for a surgical, I think it would rather well worth for a learning cosmetic like what cosmetology school in Florida provided. I always agree, it is you to make yourself look pretty, look confident. Plastic surgical just give you a short-term beauty.

Decided....

These days, my mind has been surrounding with a questions like this:

To work or not to work?

To be SAHM or to work part-time?

Obviously, I know well that I might not able to let go my career and fulltime being as SAHM. Not only that the financial issue but mentally. Am I really prepared myself for that? I should have no regret and that’s no turn back on any decision made.

As I looking at the two sleeping angel faces last night, how can I simply allow those incidents happened on them?? How can I giving chances for those irresponsible people to harm them anymore?? For what had happened, it’s not a minor injury. Even paed told me to watch really closely on what had happened to them.

I’ve decided, I want to take care of them myself. I want to give my 100% love, concentration to them. So, I’ve finally made up my mind……

Doubt...

My Gen-X has been falling sick so often and it’s like being curse, the illness repeat every month without failed since December. I’m not sure if they both trying to tell/ hint me something or what… it’s really put me to the edge. I’m struggling… having to work with a demanding boss, it wasn’t possible to just absent from work as you wish, I had to do a proper handover despite it’s a small matter. Damnn…

I’m thinking if I should just quit my job and be a SAHM. It’s a big change in life and I wonder if I can cope with it. But having to see them keep falling sick, do I have any better choice?

whoaaaa....it's April Fool!!!

Haha…it’s the April Fool today and I’m sure they are people been thinking all kind of pranks to hoaxing their friends, family or co-worker.

picture from World Buzz Now

So, have you been fool so far?? Just don’t get mad with the prank…after all, we all just want to have fun, right?

Please stay away from my life...

I don’t feel good today due to an email I received. It evokes me about my miserable past, reminded me on my naïve thinking over the relationship. Probably I’m kind a person who is strong enmity and I’m sure remember what he had did to me despite it has been more than 10 years ago.

I know they is nothing I can do for what had happened but I’m sure I do not want to know or hear any news about this person anymore. After all, it has nothing to do with me from the moment I found my happiness.


So that person in reading,

Please stay-away from me... stay away from my life... stay away from anyone close to me!!! Don't you worry... i have a better life than you ever thought.

a damn week...

I had no idea what the heck is happening to me over the week. First, I lost my company mobile phone and the PIC told me no more phone provided but only sim card replaced for my usage. #$%#^&… it’s like I’m purposely lost it.

Then, I lost my US$4.00 paid post for not accomplished the post in time and same day afternoon, my mailbox corrupted and all email has gone with wind. Asked the IT personnel to solve my problem but he has given me so many excuses with helpless guides. I ended to seek for help from another batch of IT colleague and the mailbox is still under repairing… pray god it can be repaired!!!

Earth Hour 2010

I remember the very first launched of Earth Hour on year 2009 was so successful and thus, the action continued this year on same date, same hour.

So... prepare to switch off your lights!!!

eventful weekend...

I had a great time in KL over the weekend, indeed it’s a long weekend for us. I’ve taken 2 days because of Stew, who has something to do in Ipoh on Monday. So, we decided to stay in KL until Tuesday. It was a tiring trip to us where we’ve been going here and there.

Xandria was so happy by having her peer cousins to play with, while Xavier being loves by everyone for his cheeky and funky smile. All his requests being fulfilled especially when he was with his paternal grandpa & grandma.

We went to KL Bird Park on Sunday (click HERE for more photos) and the kiddos were so happy looking at the birds. For myself, no much of ‘ME’ time but I love seeing kiddos with their happy face all the time. Guess that is what most mommies hope for.

spot the 'mat salleh' on the right? His mommy requested to take photo with them...but his like so unwilling for it!!!

10 years relationship, 3 years of....

In year 1999, I got to know him from a close friend’s birthday party. We became a very good friend since then. 2 years later, we got attach to each other after realized that our relation is rather just a friendship. After a long 6 years of hard relationship, he proposed to me … and we finally tight up the knot in year 2007.

And now, it has been 3 years since we got married. For the past 3 years, I seem have no much achievement in life except having 2 VIP, Xandria & Xavier. Life isn’t that good when you know it’s going to very tough ahead and more preparation needed.

I can't assure for a long lasting relationship but I do pray GOD for it...

tiring Friday..

I got big black eyes today because I woke up at 6am:

- for my little darling milk gulping.
- to ensure little missy is covering with quilt
- to spot-checking on my maid and noticed she’s been waking up late for her work. Again, I chided her on that.
- to check on Stew condition. He’s been not feeling well since Wednesday and was sleeping at kiddos Playing Room.
- to watering my plants

Thought of going back for a nap afterward but can’t. My mind keep turning with nonsense, my body was keep tossing. So, I ended to wake up… go for a morning bath. Gosh, it was so damn cold despite I’m having a heater. I wonder how long I never had such freezy bath. Though it should be very refreshing after bath, but still I feel so sleepy and tiring…

I’m about to lost control on my eyelid but doze off at my workstation.

Home-cooked meals, baby Asparagus wrap

As committed to stew, I tried to have more home-cook meals on weekend. Well, it’s simply a simple dish. On Saturday, I cooked Lotus Roots soup since both Gen-X need soup for their meal, mix vegetable stir-fries with fresh scallops and this, with my own recipe.

baby Asparagus wrap

It's not often to find fresh scallops at wet market. But it happened to have on that day and surprisingly that it's not expensive as thought.... RM6.00 for 500g. I put half of it on Gen-x lunch,as scallops porridge. It tasted so fresh and sweet.

My ever great satisfaction is looking at them, enjoying the meal that I prepared for them...Imagine, I need to wake up early morning on my rest day and rush to market for their meals preparation. You know, I never have to do this before. Now that I know, why my mom so in needs of going wet market everyday... after all, she just want to prepare a meal for her family.
