2 Oh 13

We survived the 2012 phenomenon where cataclysmic or transformative events was said to occur on 21 December 2012. And we have lived through the 12 months of 2012 in good (if not in great) shape and health.

2012 is a challenging year for us. Although I was mostly in unfit state early of the year, but I recovered and the kids are growing healthily and beautifully. Hubby has ups and downs in his work but with his determination he excelled and was rewarded handsomely. Happy for him! After all those hard works, he had proven himself worthily.

We moved into our humble house end of September. It is nothing extravagant but we are happy and content. And we are getting back our personal space when kids are off for holiday. Lol!

And in term of finance, we may not have much, but we are contented. We have just enough to go by every day. Life isn't luxurious but we are happy that we have each other and family.

So, for 2013, we hope for the same or even better.  A toast to a brand new year.

Happy New Year, guys!

Miss the burger

One thing I miss about not having the shop is the pork burger.  It was sold in one of the stall in the food court near the shop.  It has varieties of burgers namely pork, chicken, lamb and beef.  It is hard to find pork burgers in Kuching so it was a wonder to find one that really sell nice pork burgers.

RM4.00 for a burger.  If add cheese, additional RM1.00.  Used to enjoy my burger time with my sister when we were at the shop.  She is also addicted to its burgers.  How I miss the burgers now.  Maybe one of the nights I will drop by and have a burger supper.  Same time visit my old staff.  Miss her too.

Grateful for this day

There is always something to be thankful for!

I heard the Christmas bells

Are you ready for Christmas??  Tomorrow is already Christmas Eve!

One thing I love Christmas is its decoration.  We get to buy and decorate our own tree, put up what ever decoration to make the season merrier and colourful.  And not forgetting those wonderful and serene Christmas songs filling the air.

A look into our Christmas decorations in our house.  We put up an 8ft-tall Christmas tree with purple and red theme.    I get a little bear to be the Santa, so please let me introduce Santa Bear to you.

Santa Bear is sitting cozily on the little couch next to the tree.  Just missing a fireplace for him to warm himself!  Lol!

Hi!  I am Santa Bear!

Now a close peek at the decoration on the tree. 

The kid's presents placed under the tree

The real Santa Claus' face on the tree

I like this purple gold ribbon.

What did you see in this picture?? 

The little singing angel

Are Christmas tree a good backdrop for photographs?  I simply love those colours.  It does brighten and beautify that corner of our living room.

I told hubby that the tree look suffocated with all those decorations but hubby assured me it is not.   He likes to put as many decorations as possible on the tree while I am the type that like simple and less decoration.  Lol!  At the end, we were both satisfied with the tree.  After all, it is our very first Christmas tree in our home so it does leave a good first impression. 

And check out my Christmas-themed nail art design. I were in the mood to paint them red, so the birth of my funny and crazy nail designs.  My snowflakes do looked weird.  Maybe when got more times, I will do them more tedious and tidier.  For time being, it is enough to sizzle my Christmas mood. 

Wishing all my blogger friends and readers, a Merry Christmas!

Life is slow

Wake up late this morning.  And get up from the bed slowly too.  I don't usually have the luxury in the pass to tug and lie on my bed for long but today is an exception. It is another beautiful Saturday.  I could have time to smell the morning air.  No more rushing.

Wow!  I did not even bother to check the time. I even take my sweet time preparing brunch for myself and hubby. 

I lazy around the house a little bit today.  Still light-headed because slept late last night.  But I can have my afternoon nap later.  No more hurry, since I have all the times in the world.  *wink*

Right now, I am thinking about my loved ones.  My kids.  Missing them.  But they will be coming home soon.  A week time to be exact.  Need to get ready the kids' room.  Whose know, my eldest may decide to sleep on her own when she is back. 

It has been a week now.  Since I've turned into domestical lady.  I've been staying at home, doing what I want to do.  Blogging.  Cooking.  Gardening.  Shopping.    And my sis has been generous to pass me a volume of Korean drama that I am currently catching up.  Geez.  I am enjoying my life. 

Tomorrow is the day

Pssst.  Tomorrow is 21/12/2012.  The so-called 2012 phenomenon.  So, are you ready for it??? 

By the way, Happy 20.12.2012!!!

Now it is time to.....

The house is quiet again.  Hubby has gone to work around 8.00am.  After sweeping and mopping the floor and have a shower, I am free to do the thing that I have been putting on hold for so long.

My cross-stitch.  Only left 30% more to get it done.  This is my 3rd cross-stitch design.  I am going to finish it as fast as I can, hopefully this few days.  Then maybe can get it framed up and hang on the wall.  My walls sure look naked without anything on them. 

Introducing my cross stictch pieces.....

The very 1st piece

The 2nd one......

I am going to bring the 1st piece to my house and leave the 2nd one to my parents.  I like the 1st one the best! 

And today I am going to wrap my Christmas presents for the kids and place the presents under the Christmas tree, waiting for them to claim their presents.  *wink* 

Then need to plan what to cook and eat for dinner.  Hubby has been nagging me to cook kacangma, so maybe I will cook it tonight.  I still have some kacangma (motherwort) herbs in the kitchen.  As for lunch, something simple since I would be eating alone.  Maybe tuna sandwiches or fried noodles. 

Alright, need to get down to my cross-stitch now, guys.  With my faithful radio playing Lite FM accompany me, it would not be a dull day today.  :)  I know, I am enjoying myself as a homemaker! Don't envy me, ok?  Lol!
