End of the month....already?

Good things always ended fast. I always love the month of August, because my birthday and Baby Jay's birthday fall this month, and not forgetting the school holidays too. No rushing in the morning to send my girl to school and I could bring both kids to breakfast before sending them off to baby sitter. It is kind of great feeling to get up late. *wink*

I do not know about you all, but I am thinking that weekends are no longer that long and Saturdays and Sundays passed so fast before we really can enjoy every seconds of them. Sigh! Wish we have more times to spend, right?

So when there are school holidays or Public Holidays, I am looking forward to them. It means more times with family. I am starting to cook again during the weekend since hubby has been complaining of our "malnourished" kids. Lol! Don't expect me to cook every day but one or two days a week sound good. I also bored of eating outside.

Okay, I am looking forward to indulge in my appetite tomorrow with rendang, ayam masak merah, lemang, satays, curries and Malay delicacies. Will be visiting our good friends' house tomorrow afternoon since I missed out on visiting them last year. I do not really fancy visiting during festive; partly because of kids. Hard to enjoy yourself when you have to run after naughty kids! Lol! So usually one house visiting is good enough for me.

I would like to wish everyone Selamat Hari Raya, Happy Holiday & Happy National Day!! Yahoo!

Lost and Found

have you ever thought that we lost something and thought it really gone forever and when you least expected it, it was found right in front of you??

I swear that I searching high and low for it everywhere especially my car where I thought I lost it yesterday and I could not find it till this morning!! And the way how I find it was rather ironic too.

It began yesterday morning. You know women, we have so many things in our bag, so mine is not an exception. I have my handphone, my makeup kit, name card holder, papers, tissue, purse and a pouch where I put my sunglasses and some redemption coupons and vouchers. And as usually when I drive, I will put on my sunglasses in the morning. I had breakfast with hubby and then sent my car to car wash and walk to my shop. As I were walking to my shop, I scrambled my bag for my pouch to keep my sunglasses and suddenly right there I could not find it! Sh*t! I thought I must drop it in the car while taking it out earlier. So never mind, after I got my car I look in the car but could not find it. Never mind again. I will search for it again in the afternoon when I go home.

Again, I could not find it. I even look underneath the car seat; knowing how "efficient" are those people washing and vacuuming my car, but my pouch was no where to be found. Sh*t! I lost those coupons that I keep for many months. Funny thing was I just keep all those coupons in the pouch a few day ago. I usually do not keep my coupons in one bag, but do not know what got into me, I kept them all in that pouch with my sunglasses.

So forgetting the whole thing I had my usual chore in the morning and as I was about to open my shop, I could not find my shop keys in my bag. And I swear to you again, that my handbag (the same handbag) does not have any hole in it! I could felt my keys but I could not found the hole where it dropped into. Sh*t (Please excuse me as I really was sh*ted that time and wonder what was wrong???)

So no choice, I have to sacrifice my handbag (a last year Christmas gift from my cousin from Singapore) by cutting it with my keys. I did it in my car as I do not want to embarrass myself doing it in front of my shop. Lol!

So, I throw all my stuff from my bag in my car and cut loose my bag to retrive the keys. After done a minor damage to my bag I started keeping all the stuff back and I saw some papers on the floor of my seat so I ducked down to retrieve them and suddenly I saw my pouch. Right there!!

Gosh! Wonder it is because I am getting older, I am also getting absent-minded and clumsy or it is something else?? And my poor bag!

34

My big number!

Yes. That is how old I am today. I cannot believe that I am that old.

When I was in my teen, I dreamt of being in 20s and have a career. I can do a lot once I reached 21. But now I am in my 30s, I wish to remain 20s all the time. Lol.

Never mind what is my age, the most important thing is what I have achieved so far. Family and career. I have a great life with my loving hubby, 2 beautiful children, a promising career and business opportunity. So, no big regrets there. *wink* Hope more to come.....I am not greedy but no harm asking more right? Lol!




Happy birthday to me! :) Age is nothing but a number

Our weekend chore

Yesterday we have a cleaning and clearing in our room. Since we are going to move to new house in couple of months, we have to start packing some stuff over.

I had gone through the children old stuff and clothing, since my SIL is expecting. I giving away my maternity clothing too since I would not be wearing them anymore. Never knew I have so much baby clothing to give away. Two big boxes to the new baby. After all my Baby Jay is overgrown and hardly can fit into them. *wink*

Two big boxes of books, old magazines and little girl's school books and arts. 2 big boxes of toys. I guess we will need some more big boxes to pack our clothings and some more books and stuff. Really, I have moved to few houses when I was young. I remember I move to 5 houses before I got married, but that time, everything were done by parents. Now it is my turn, I really do not know where to start. Because it looks like you want to take everything over. Lol! But we shall leave the furniture since we are going to get new one in our new home.

We spent our afternoon at home and after a great nap, hubby made dinner for us. Just simple dinner; roasted chicken with lettuce mayo salad; roasted spring chicken; and tuna and cheese sandwiches. The kids did not like any of those, so I have to cook a pack of Maggi instant noodles with chicken favour for them. At least they finished it up! And we having the dinner watching "Final Destination 5". That was how I spent my Sunday!

House WIP

The extension work up to date on the back portion of the house. It will be my wet kitchen and laundry area.

Dreaming Costa Rica

When my sister told me that she is planning to expand her career in Costa Rica, I was more than happy to support her decision. She has been in her travel agency for 5 years and very familiar with ticketing and tour works. It is time for her to move on with her career.

I have heard so much about the Costa Rica rainforest and its natural beauty. My sister said that Costa Rica is one of the famous countries in Central America for honeymooners and those into natures as it has vast forests, valcanos and caves to explore in. As for me, I think I would opt for a city tour like a visit to San Jose and its historical buildings. I would love to go to Mercado Central and spend my shopping there.

My sister being an adventurer herself has started to learn more about this beautiful country of Costa Rica. So if everything goes well, she will be going end of the year. Good luck to her!

Music in her

I find it amusing and surprising at the same time when my 5 yo girl suddenly popped out a few lines of lyric when we least expect it. Like Christina Perri's Jar of Heart. It is rather a sad song and definitely not a good song to start off a day.

Little girl sang:

You're gonna catch a cold,
From the ice inside your soul,
So don't come back for me,
Who do you think you are?

I don't know why she sang the song last Friday while sending her to school, but she always a quick learner when it comes to songs and musics.

Maybe it is time to enrol her in a music class. I have been procastinating for quite some times. Whose know, she may have some hidden talents inside her.
