I went to have a brief walk over in Beringgis before our afternoon session yesterday and found a nicely design building at the far end of the resort. It looks like another separate resort. It reminded me of those Outer Banks rentals properties.

After 2 nights away from my boys, they were so happy to see me home. Screaming, jumping and came out to welcome me *grin*.

As for today, I went out to look for tiles again, just couldn’t bear another day thinking about it. I just hope everything can be done soon though I’m not in a hurry to move in.

Me and my boys went to SMC earlier on, just couldn’t bear to listen to Mervin’s whine about his finger which he had an accident two days ago pinching his middle finger on the chair. His nail almost came off! Now the inner part of the nail is actually visible. After a nice dressing by the doctor, he felt much better and back to his normal active self again. It will take some times for it to heal totally and the new nail to grow out nicely. Well, at least is it not on his right hand where he needs to use it to write.

So far, only Calvin looks for me and ask if I’ll bring him present if he is being nice at home. I just told him frankly that I can only buy him things if I do went for shopping, but now I’m at work and away from town, doesn’t seems like I’ve the chance to do that. Of course he sounds disappointed. Anyhow, I’ll surely bring him some little goodies.

We’ll need to be back at the meeting room again later at 8pm to continue our workshop. The management is hoping that we can finished our presentation slides and get into some convention later. Frankly speaking, I’m not looking forward to that. I just want to get our project done and over with.

The management will do a review on all our projects like some diet pill review,, scanning through all the details to get to the best presentation and go for the up-coming competition. I’m in for solving and improving our work situation, not even interested on the competition.

All I’m hoping now is that I won’t get a cold and I can start using my Zutter over the weekend for my scrapbook.

Am not totally sure if Mervin knows what I mean by outstation, as I just briefly bring it out on him last night. I hope he will not be looking for me today, or at least not crying. AS for Calvin, he seems totally fine with mommy away for work. Just as long as it is work, else he’ll try to stop me from going.

As for the house. I went there last night and saw that the living room has been leveled to the same height and look much better now. There are still lots to do at the moment. I’ve been to a friend’s house to check on his kitchen counter top. Trying to have as much options as possible, and also to get to know exactly what I need, which I can afford.

Yesterday was my birthday and I didn’t really celebrated it with cake and candles. I just had a simple lunch with colleagues over in Upper Star, but I think I got the most well wishes from friends this year!

Being short temper is one, ‘cos I’ve been hearing complaints from my parents on how he responds now-a-day. Being fast in responding is another as he is fast in talking back now. Another thing is he is getting familiar with all the screening time for cartoons! He’ll go to look for the remote when his favorite cartoon is on.  He is also starting to request my mom on what to cook for him!

I’ll hear lots of stories from my parents especially my mom when I got back from work. Mervin also will definitely request me to carry him and let him smell my hair, one habit that he develop from no where. During bed time, like usual, both of them will request me to read for them. They are still my best diet pills now for having to attend to almost every needs of theirs.

I wasn’t worry if only taking care of 2 boys, but 3! It will be disaster! Oh well.. still I let them. They were pretty energetic and walked way before me.

I wish they could just walk slowly instead of running! This old lady can’t catch up! So, it has been my best weight loss supplement of the day having to bring them for a walk. *LOL*

All I need to do is to give him the medicine on time, every 4 to 6 hours. He still have 4 templates to finish the whole course.

This photo was taken on the 2nd night that he has the Chicken Pox after his shower and calamine lotion. See those white spots there? Now he doesn’t even need to apply the calamine lotion, they are not itchy and so few spots.

Get well soon sweetie and because of him, my BIL decided not to come to my in-laws’ home and we didn’t have our dinner here too. We came late after dinner at my mom’s place. *Grin*

We (Well, me mostly) have been dreaming of an electrical owen, a cooker hoot, a flat screen plasma TV, laminated flooring for first floor, built-in kitchen cabinet with breakfast table, extra sink in the washing machine area (for my last minute wash or small items), a posh low tv stand for the plasma TV, a small bath-tub which can fit into our small bathroom. I’ve been working on looking for the most essential items first, but still, for sure I want to keep dreaming for the perfect home.

I went to look for toilet bowl this afternoon. I went up to CAN production site. Found that and assured that I can get their manufacturer price straight on from them instead of going to another middle person. They also do delivery!

At the moment, the house is not totally done yet. We still haven’t got the ground floor to the same level, the rewiring and plaster ceiling haven’t got started yet. Later it will be putting up cement counter top with tiles for the kitchen. I’m getting Jaya (in City Mall) to draw out the floor plan for me. They do laminating floor too, plus I know the owner. So, it is business with favor plus trust.

When it comes to price, that is our biggest worry. I hope to be a wise consumer, getting the best deal and getting the best result in terms of quality and function. Well, it is weekend and yet I still feel tire thinking about the house. But let me just keep dreaming, next in the list: my scrap-room!! *Grin* Maybe with a big scrap table complete with internet access and printer!

My first reaction to know that he got Chicken Pox was really a relief. A relief to find out that at least it is not H1N1. Since hubby just came back and forth from China, there is the possibility there. Thank God it is none.

I had to get him with antiviral ‘cos he never did get the immunization jab. I hope his immune system is strong after those bottles of life yogurt that I’ve given him. He always show me his bicep and proudly announce that he is strong *LOL*. One that never been using the Kettlebell and yet claim that he got bicep. He is just so adorable. But wait till he is in bad mood and he could be really annoying with his loud voice. I hope he and Calvin can stay together without fighting at home over these 8 days of “leave” that he got from the doctor.

Initially we wanted to watch it at 1pm which I think is the best time for them as they were not too exhausted yet. However when we got there (1Borneo), all seats almost taken, just left those with single seat. So we moved forward our viewing time to 4pm. That gave us ample time to go over some lightnings design, carpet and laminating floor for the house. But by the time we went back to 1Borneo, it was almost 4pm, so we had to rush, that include some toilet time for us all.

A few warnings has been given before the movie started, as in “be quiet”, “no question ask during the movie”, “sit on your chair properly”, etc. And I prayed hard for not having those awkward moment like screaming and talking loudly. Unfortunately all these warning were only effective on the first half an hour of the show. The rest was follow by “shs.. ask later, ok?” or I’ll have to answer their questions in the simplest form ever, else they’ll not stop asking especially little Mervin.

Anyway, it was a good movie, what more when my boys both love it! I bet they’ll look forward for another movie session with mommy and daddy.

I think I’m getting old.. really?

I think I’m having depression.. hmm.. maybe, or I just might.

I think I need a getaway .. ya.. but to where?

I think maybe I should buy myself some new clothes .. nah.. too lazy for that.

I think all I need is to get my photos scrap!

Yes! I want that kit from Creating Keepsakes – Project 365, complete with album for a year of scrapbook pages, with tags and photo ideas. I want that! No, I NEED that! I’ve told myself that I’ll be doing this project ever since the idea came out in CK and I’ve been keeping up in taking a photo a day ever since (though I still miss some days..), I’ve been keeping a simple journal in my scrapbook site on this and yet I haven’t really put them down in proper scrapbook layout.

So I really need that project kit. Santa, can I have Christmas early this year just so that I can have the kit and start putting those photos in the album complete with my journaling? Please….

*I’m just plain bored over here and hoping that I don’t even need to work.*

On 2nd thought, maybe I’m just lacking of exercise and proper sleep management. I’ve been wanting to do so many things in one go. I wanted to read that magazines, I wanted to get those tiles ready for the house, I wanted to get the alarm system ready, the aluminium windows ready, the door, the wood flooring, the budget at work, the staff appraisal…

Ok, or maybe I just need to get myself over to Sutera Harbor, on to their gym and get on to their exercise equipment, maybe I’ll be okay after that.
