Gordon's Graduation Day

2009-11-06T14:55:00.002+08:00

In the blink of an eye, Gordon graduates from Kindy. It was just like yesterday that i held his small hand and walked him up to his classroom on his first day of school. That was three years ago. He's so grown up now. Though not as tall as most of his classmates and schoolmates his age, he's still a big boy to me.

This picture was taken yesterday. He was so handsome when i sent him to school. Halfway through lunch, his teacher called up and told us he refused to take his graduation pic and asked if we can go back to the school or not. And so, we practically stuffed noodles down our throat and rushed back to be there for my special kid.

And thanks to a patient photographer, and also his caring teachers, Gordon had his Graduation Picture taken outside the classroom is many different locations and poses. The photographer showed us the pics on his Nikon DSLR. I told his teacher i want every single one of those pics!!!! He's soooooo handsome. Dont you think so :)

Gordon is the luckiest boy at his Kindy as he's the only one that had his Graduation Picture taken with his parents. Thank God i applied the best under eye cream the night before. The above pic was taken with my Nokia N82. Awwwww..... my boy graduate jorrrrr...... the first of many graduations to come (i hope)

Holiday soon....

The past few days has been quite stressed for all. Hubby just went back to KL. I wish he can go back on Monday, but too bad, work calls. Soon, the long school holidays will be here. I dont think i'll have much time to myself for the next few weeks. Gordon will start Std1 next year and i'll use the time available to help him learn as much as possible. He's a much pampered special kid and he has to learn to take care and protect himself when he goes to a whole new environment. I cannot be at the school all the time, but near enough just in case he needs me to be there.

As his school is near the mall, hubby suggests i hang out there for the first few weeks. He says there may be a modern furniture exhibition there in January and MIL wants to give the living hall a mini makeover for Chinese New Year. I can help her look for a new set of living room furniture. Let's see how. It's still too early to say anything.

Sanity busters

2009-11-06T00:55:00.000+08:00

This is just so to remind myself never to go out with two kids together to the foodcourt with hubby at night. Why bother when i have to live with a blardy black face the whole time i'm there, niamahfulat.

New "Spinning Flowers" for the garden

2009-11-03T01:12:00.000+08:00

These are the new "Spinning Flowers" i bought last week. They really do spin well in the wind. My kids enjoyed playing with them. Nice, right.

Born Rich 11, 12, 13, 14 & 15

2009-11-02T20:31:00.001+08:00

Watch Born Rich 11, 12, 13, 14 & 15 this week. How do you find this series so far? I've not watched Ray Lui for decades, lol. He's still as handsome, and errrr.... stiff, eh. Sigh... i feel so old as i can so connect with the actresses and actors. Jamie Chik, Ray Lui, Anita Yuen.... dohhhh. Cant help it, it's really my generation's artiste lehhhh. So, are you watching Born Rich online? Me, i'm waiting to watch Born Rich 11 streaming online. You know where to go to for the daily updates, ya. Leave comment with valid email address for access.

Are you getting enough sleep each day?

2009-10-31T13:35:00.000+08:00

I gotta leave the house soon. Just made some noodles with eggs and minced pork. The kids are eating it on their own and about to finish their meal. We ll go to bed early and wake up early these days. I find that this lifestyle is not too bad compared to the times when i sleep at 4 or 5am in the morning and wake up around noon. The kids and i eat an extra meal too. MIL always complain my kids look skinny. Ok, let's see how the new routine goes. If they do put on extra weight in two months time, i'll continue with it. I just have to make sure i have food in the house so that we can all have a hearty breakfast together.

Hubby always remind me to give out kids the nutritional supplements he buys back every now and then. I do admit i forget most of the time. But since i get enough sleep these days, i find that my memory is better too. So, dont underestimate the importance of sleep and proper nutrition. I do remember someone telling me once that lack of sleep will also make one put on weight. I dont know how far true it is, but it's good to sleep at least 8 hours a day. I'm trying my best to achieve that. For those of you who are concerned of your health a lot, you may want to take some Endurance Products to help you fight against radical damage. They also promote better health. I've left the link to an online store where you can get them. Do check it out, ya.

I want a boob job, cannot meh....

2009-10-31T13:18:00.001+08:00

I didnt find the time to go get my rotary facial brush yesterday. Too bogged down with work and parenting duties. I'll be sending Gordon for his art class soon and if it doesnt rain, i'll drive to the beauty supplies store to see if they sell it or not. My SIL was a beautician and she says it's good for those with problematic skin. The brush will also supercharge my cleanser. I hope so too. I dont think my skin is the problematic kind, but it does break out occasionally. I blame it fully on lack of sleep, lack of exercise, proper diet and stress. Now that i've lessened my workload so much, i hope my overall health will improve.

I always joke with hubby that i'm going to reward myself with a breast augmentation the moment Malcolm stops breastfeeding. After three years, they are not as errrr.... "full" as before. Well, this is a very personal decision and i hope i'll have the courage to go for it when the time comes, lol. My pray the plastic surgeons here are as good as the ones like these Miami Plastic Surgery professionals. Nowadays, they also offer services from breast augmentation, to neck lifts, to liposuction and lots more. I'm lucky that i dont need to work on other parts of my body other than my boobs, lol. Oh... but who knows what will happen twenty thrity years from now, huh. Maybe then, hubby would treat me to a visit to a Miami Plasstic Surgeon. Woohoo!!! If you need some total body makeover, you may want to go check them out!!!

Watching Born Rich & Beyond The Realm Of Conscience 9

2009-10-30T15:24:00.000+08:00

In about fifteen minute, i've got to leave the house to go pick my kids up already. For the past two hours or so, i've been busy watching both Born Rich and Beyond The Realm Of Conscience episode 9 streaming online. At the same time, working on my new knitting project and writing a blog post in between. I'm very good at maximizing the time i have at home. I should have taken a nap but i cant as i really want to finish up my blog posts, leaving the weekends free to spend with my kids.

Hubby wont be back this weekend. He just got back from Kuching and still have lots of appointments in KL. He even told me to help look for HVAC Refrigerant for him. His company needs to buy some. Well, i asked a few friends and they all have no idea where he can get them here locally. One of them gave me a link to check it out. I left it here in case anyone reading this may need to buy HVAC Refrigerant too.

It's good that hubby is so busy at work hard now. I'm used to being home alone with the kids. The kids get to speak with their father everyday. I told him we must get another supplementary line so that they can video chat, lol. In other words, he needs to carry another phone with him.I reminded him that O2 Zinc i bought for him two years ago is still sitting pretty on the shelf. It's still fairly new as it's hardly used.What a waste, huh....

To my Mom's or Sis' this weekend??

2009-10-30T14:21:00.002+08:00

I hope i can finish up my posts soon. I want to go to the beauty supplies store to get myself a face steamer and also a battery-operated rotary facial brush. A beautician told me to use it once a day when i wash my face. It cleans better than washing one's face by hand. I used to have a facial brush but i got tired of moving it in circular motion over my face. It can be tiring. A battery-operated one is definitely better. The acne scars on my face are not so red now and i can see it improving and healing by the day.

In another hour or so, i gotta go pick the kids up from the Kindy. It's Friday, and my kid has been asking for his baseball glove and bat since early this morning. I told him he can play with it after he comes home from his Tutor's. Tomorrow, he has art classes. I will then take both of them over to my Mom's or Sis' in the late afternoon and they can have fun with their cousins till night. My nephew keep buzzing me on MSN that he has a new baseball glove. He wants to show it to me if i go over to his place tomorrow.

Talking of baseball glove, if you need to buy one for your kid, you can get one here. The site i'm about to tell you about is one of the best place to shop for kids sporting goods online. It's a very convenient place for parents to shop for baseball gloves, uniforms, bats, etc. Given the choice, i'd rather shop online too as i can compare prices to see which one fits my budget. Check it out if you have the time or bookmark it for your future reference. Dont forget that Christmas is just round the corner. Sporting goods are one of the best gifts for little boys :)

Are you hooked to Facebook?

2009-10-30T13:24:00.000+08:00

How many of you are hooked to Facebook here? I used to enjoy logging on to Facebook to check out the updates each morning. It was fun at the beginning but lately, my friends all seem to have stopped updating their status. Maybe they are just like me and no longer find Facebbok interesting anymore. Many of them have confused these kind of Social Networks with blogging. Some even think that Facebook is an extension of their real life, lol. Me, i only use Facebook to interact with bloggers i've come to know online, and also with friends and family members. Forget about adding me just because you happen to tumble across my site or you find my Facebook Profile picture interesting.The only other thing i do at Facebook is to play their endless game apps, lol.

Last week, a friend announced her wedding on Facebook. She even posted her wedding pictures there. She doesnt have a blog and Facebook is the only place i can see and know what's happening in her life. I enjoyed looking at those wedding pictures and see how blissful my friend and her hubby are during the wedding. It's not a grand affair, only a small gathering with friends and family members. Nevertheless, it's a meaningful occasion and somehow, i wish i could have been there to share the joyous occasion with them. Another thing is, i loved the wedding flower arrangement at the garden. It's so beautiful and for a while, i thought i was looking at a fairytale wedding. Talking of flowers, if you are planning for a wedding and you need to buy discount bridal flowers online, you can checkout the link i left here in this post, ya. I gotta get back to work now. Happy shopping :)

I love handmade Christmas Cards :)

2009-10-30T12:51:00.000+08:00

I just sent the kids to school a short while ago. I rushed back home as i need to publish a few posts. It's the end of the month and i want to wrap up my work before the 31st so that i can see the payment on the 1st, woot!!! Oh, it's not much. Maybe $100+ from this company. I have multiple streams of income from my blogs and this is just one of them. If i were to own a small car like the MyVi, the income i get from one company is definitely enough to meet the monthly installmenat. Abuthen, i dont have a car now, only a few more months of debts to settle. Thereafter, i'm a free person. Free from financial debts. HAPPY!!!!

At the Kindy just now, i saw Gordon's teacher talking to a parent. She says the kids will be making Christmas Cards soon. Gordon loves art and i hope he brings a nice one back this time. Have you ever made your own Christmas Cards before? Or are you the kind that prefers to buy Christmas Cards and sent to friends and family members? If you need to buy them, you can check out the link i left here in this post for the best christmas cards online.

It's almost the end of the school term and by middle of next month, the kids will be home with me every single day again. Hubby did mention that he might get a place down in KL. If that's the case, i'll spend my holidays down in KL with the kids and hubby. Havent been living in the city for a long long time and i wonder if i'll ever get used to it again. The only thing i'm very sure is that if i ever spend my holidays there, i'll be a lot poorer when i come back, lol!!!!

Need opinion on the Proton Exora

2009-10-29T09:51:00.000+08:00

I do have a few friends who keep asking me why i dont have a car. Well, the truth is, i sold mine off when i moved back here as i no longer need it. Moreover, it's parked outside under the time and the UV is not doing the paintwork any good. Hubby asked me the other day to consider buying one next year. I need to fetch my kids to school in town and it's better that i use my own car instead of the family car. I'm not very particular what make or model my car is, but hubby did mention the Proton Exora. Well, it's big, roomy and the pricetag is somewhat in the affordable range for such a car. i asked my friend for his opinion last night and he launched into a long conversation that went from loan to rv breakdown services, lol. Whatever it is, any Exora owners here that can share their experience with this car? Please leave a comment behind, ya.

My Lil' Farmers. 100% the Mader's fault.....

2009-10-26T12:46:00.002+08:00

My kids love to play with their Grandma's gardening tools a lot. I let them sit at the swing as i take their schoolbags to the car. But then, they prefer to run to the back of the house and play with those gardening tools. We dont have a proper shed to store all the gardening tools. They are just placed along the wall at the side of the house. When we remodel the house next time, i'll make sure we have a proper place to store all those gardening tools. They can be quite costly.

Do you still send Christmas Cards?

2009-10-23T19:12:00.000+08:00

Gordon loves Saturdays as he knows he goes to the art school on Saturdays. I have compiled all of his artwork into a clear folder. The most recent one will be out on display in the bedroom. I place it against the lampshade as the backlight makes it stand out even more. He's quite talented in art and i believe this is one of his favorite subject besides Maths. I think he's just like both hubby and i. Both of us can draw well. I still remember my childhood days quite well. Each time when i fall ill and has to stay at home, i will ask my mom for a dollar and run across the road to the shop to buy myself a drawing block. I will then stay inside the bedroom quietly and draw by myself.

My creative artwork also made some quite a bit of pocket money during my schooldays. Friends will ask me to help them make personalized Birthday or Greeting cards for them. Depending on my mood, i may even adorn those cards with ribbons and glitter. Those days, greeting cards are very expensive and schoolgirls like us cannot afford to buy them. Handmade ones are definitely cheaper and more personal. Talking of greeting cards makes me realize that Christmas is fast approaching. Do you still send Christmas Cards to friends and family members? You can check out these beautiful christmas cards here if you like. Have fun shopping for Christmas cards, ya.

Looking forward to Saturday Shopping Day

2009-10-23T18:50:00.001+08:00

I've been so busy since hubby came back from KL. He needs to do lots of banking and he goes to the one in Oldtown. It's very jammed there during lunch hours. So, i have to go with him and wait in the car whilst he does his stuffs. We hardly have any time left to do anything else. By the time he finishes with his cheques and transfers, it's time to go pick the kids up. We can only go for tea with Malcolm as that kid normally refuses to get off the car whenever his Papa is in town. What to do? Have to take him out.

It's already Friday and in another day's time, hubby will be away again. We still have tomorrow to take the kids out to the mall. Hubby told me last week he saw some very impressive Table Top Displays online and wanted to see if he can find something similar at the mall. I doubt it, lol. But if he cant find it, we can always order them online as usual. It's the internet age and everything can be purchased online at a few clicks of the mouse. Well, if you are also looking for good quality table top displays, you can check out the link i left here in this post.

My webhosting account is expiring soon

2009-10-22T15:07:00.000+08:00

I spend most of my days working on my knitting and crochet projects lately. I dont have much time to do at night as i need to work on my blogs. I'm now working on a cape for a friend's little girl, and also a golf driver head cover for another friend. And oh, that's apart from my very own projects. Year end is fast approaching and i always have the urge to work on new knitting and crochet projects at this time of the year, lol.

I dread long holidays as i'm stuck home with the kids every single day till the new school term starts. Hubby is very busy with his business and he needs to travel overseas rather often. He's mostly in KL and is only back for a few days each month. The kids miss hi like crazy but they've gotten used to him being away for duration. They are bigger and can play by themselves.

I just wish i have more time to work on my blogs. Many of them are pretty neglected, especially those that dont bring in much money, lol. Come to think of it, the hosting account for my dormant blogs are about to expire early next year. I still havent decided where to move those blogs to. My friend told me to check out this webhosting company and see if they're packages suit my needs or not. I'm not in a hurry yet, but if you are in need of a new webhosting account, you may want to check it out.

Hubby's on the way home :)

2009-10-20T15:29:00.000+08:00

Almost 3.30pm. About time to go pick the kids up already. I think i'll just have a tea break with Malcolm after dropping Gordon off at his Tutor's. Thereafter, i have to go pick hubby up at the Railway Station. Better not drink too much liquid this time. Last week was hell for me as i was stuck in the jam with a full bladder, lol. NO JOKE, MANNN!!!! I bet the kids will be very surprised to see Papa afterwards. Right now, i gotta go help a friend check out this truck accessories site first. BRB!!!

I have dark circles under eyes.... blehhhh

2009-10-20T15:10:00.000+08:00

Just got back from my Mom's after a nice homecooked meal. Havent been eating her cooking for quite some time already and it's oh-so-good. Must go home more often. I havent been sleeping well for the past few nights. My period gave me a bad backache and i'm willing it to go away NOW NOW NOW NOW NOW!!!! I want a good night's sleep as dark circles under eyes, or racoon eyes, are no longer in fashion, ok. Hubby is on his way back home and i hope he'll help me keep an eye on the kids. Given the choice, i'd rather go sleep at the hotel for a few days and leave the kids with him. Who wants to join me?

Any interest in buying Rare Gold Coins?

2009-10-19T01:40:00.004+08:00

So, where have you been to for the past few days. I've not been anywhere as my kid wasnt feeling well since Tuesday. My in-laws went to a few Deepavali open houses and also a wedding dinner. Last night, my MIL complained to me that price of gold is so high that she had to pay so much just to buy something for the bride and groom. I told her she shouldnt have bought them gold at all. An angpow will do and i believe everyone would understand and appreciate that.

But then, old folks like my in-laws still feel that Gold is still the best form of wedding gift. They told me their parents had a rare gold coin last time, which they had to sell off for money when times were bad. Do you have gold jewelry? They will fetch a good price of you were to sell them off now. But if you want to buy rare gold coin as a form of investment, then the link i left here in this post may be of interest to you. Check it out, ya.

Busy kids

2009-10-18T15:57:00.000+08:00

Time flies very fast these days. Especially so when the kids are home with me. I woke up at around 9am to check my email and publish a post on one of my blogs. Shortly after that, Malcolm woke up and demanded for his "nenn". I went back to bed with him for a while. Gordon woke up about an hour later, and then, it's chores, chores, chores, and more chores. The kids are fully occupied now. One is plying the Wii, the other is watching Pixar Cars clips at youtube, lol. Hope they will stay that way longer, lol. I need to blog!!!!

Today go gaigai

2009-10-13T12:47:00.000+08:00

It's Tuesday. Hubby's coming back this evening and we'll all go pick him up, YAY!!!! The kids will be thrilled to see him. I told them last night that we'll go to Parkson for an early dinner tonight. They've not been out for so long, lol. Malcolm is looking forward to buying chocolates at Cold Storage. Will most prolly get him a box of Smarties. Gordon is okay as long as i give him his PSP to play with. He's not touched it for weeks!!! I'd better make the most out of the remaining hours now and finish up my crochet blouse. It's almost done :)

Bali Bali Homm

2009-10-08T15:18:00.001+08:00

Been to Bali? My girlfriends and i are planning for a trip there next year. No idea which month yet as i told them i need some time at the beginning of the year to make sure Gordon settles down well in his new environment. He'll be starting Std 1 in a few months time. Fast, hoh. My boy will be 7 years old next year. I told my friend about it the other day and she asked me to check out myrtle beach sc. worrrr. I thyink South Carolina is a bit too far away for me. I think we'll settle for Bali for the time being unless something really interesting crops up :)

Who has Term Life Insurance here?

2009-10-08T13:27:00.000+08:00

I can see that our new neighbor is trying his best to get my attention each time i leave the house. Well, i dont really have time to talk to him yet as i'm always in a rush to go pick my kids or run errands. The place is still being renovated and i can see contractors coming and leaving at all hours. If only i have the money, i would have bought it from my ex-neighbor. Save up a few years, and we can then remodel our property into one large unit, lol. Too bad, not happening now. Not even in the near future. I'm still counting the months i can finally call myself debt-free. Soon.... soon.....

Hubby told me our new neighbor is an insurance agent. He tried to get hubby interested in some of his insurance packages but hubby told him his brother is also an insurance agent, lol. It's true, by the way. It's also a coincidence that we know his wife. Oh...... more like an acquaintance as she works at a shop we frequent at the mall. Talking of insurance, someone was telling me about Best Term Life Insurance the other day. Anyone one her bought Term Life Insurance? Did you get a good rate when you bought it last time? I dont have Term Life Insurance but may be buying one next year. I'll go check out the link my friend gave me. You can do so if you are looking for more info on term Life Insurance, ya.

Ice-cream on a hot afternoon

2009-10-07T16:21:00.002+08:00

Saw the ice-cream man driving past on our way home. Asked him to drive into our street and Malcolm had a great time choosing his favorite. So sweet, so cold, so yummy.... He's taking his bath by himself now. Took all his Megabloks into the bathroom, lol. Wont be out for another 15 minutes or so. Me, i just stumbled across these mobile homes. Anyone here lived in one before?

Blissfully home in front of the pc

2009-10-07T14:57:00.000+08:00

As i'm typing this out, i'm thinking of what i missed when i was away during the weekend. The only thing i can think of apart from my kids must be the laptop computer, lol. The internet is my life but i did not log on to it to check on my stats and blogs eventhough i can do that with my mobile phone. I'm now back, with a mind that's sharper than ever. I have a few new projects which i hope i can get down to working on them soon. Other than that, we are also planning on another trip. Destination to be announced next year :)
