Extreme busy last minute rush for CNY

This whole week is totally stressful. Last weekend, I had my sister and her two angels in my house. I'm acting nanny and maid to my sis. I see her taking care of the two, and admired her courage to resign from work to be a fulltime housewife. Her first girl is starting to touch here and there, exploring new things. However her second one is abit sticky, she will cry the minute my sis walked away even within a short distance. Though tired, still we enjoyed their companion over the weekend.

See the two girls!!!

I did not go back to see my little Angel. As CNY is coming soon, we will go back only this Friday morning. My days in office is crazy. Too many work in hand, I am not yet back to normal position ever since I ended my maternity leave. Work seriously increasing, 24 hours simply not enough. I couldn't sleep well at night, stressing about work and missing my little girl.
Hubby made a surprise when he came back with CNY decoration items on Sunday. He decorated the whole house with CNY banners. It is very colourful, and it would be a surprise to Angel.

We will soon welcome her home as she will return to stay with us right after CNY. Truly very happy waiting for the moment even though I am abit worried, as I need to juggle between work and taking care of her. Kuan Yin Ma, bless me. Hopefully I can go through with a strong heart and manage everything well.
Tomorrow will be my last day of work and I will be off for the entire week for Chinese New Year. This year is special as I will be celebrating with Angel. I've packed her new clothings and stuff. Today she is officially 3 months old. Big girl already.....with new progress. MIL said she no longer like to be on bouncer, she will request to be carried. And guess what, she laughed out very loud already..I miss her very very much. Hopefully she still remembers me even with my new haircut. Hubby and I will definitely enjoy our CNY & Valentine's Day with Angel dearest and also family.

GONG XI FA CAI AND HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY TO ALL. HAVE A PROSPEROUS, LOVING, HEALTHY DAYS AHEAD!!!!!

Hubby made me breakfast!

This morning, hubby made me breakfast, toasted baguette with margarine. It is the first breakfast he made ever since we tied the knot. Though it's simple, I felt happy eating them with a cup of Milo. Both of us have been busy taking care of Angel, not forgetting he has to work while I am still on leave. Before he left home for work, he keep on reminding me to eat them asap. Thanks darling!

My birthday 2 December 2009

Happy Birthday to Me

Happy Birthday to Me
Happy Birthday to Meeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
Happy Birthday to Me!

It's my birthday yesterday. Hmmm, like what I said to everyone, MIXED FEELINGS! This year, Kuan Yin had blessed me with Angel and she is the best birthday gift I ever received. And having her on my birthday is a joy I wouldn't ever forget. However, celebrating in the confinement period wasn't something I ever wanted. With gingers and sesame oil, so miserable. I requested MIL to cook mee suah with egg for my dinner. That is the traditional way of celebrating birthday.
Hubby bought me a birthday cake after work. And having a slice of it really makes my day. He asked me to take a shot with my Angel just before cutting the cake. He said we must celebrate together with her, which is why he insisted to take photo with her even she is sleeping. Aiyoh, this daddy, so excited.

Posing with Angel, notice she is sleeping!

8 November 2009 : Hubby's birthday cum 1st year ROM anniversary

Surely another day to remember for the year 2009. Today is our 1st year of ROM anniversary and also Hubby's birthday.
Early in the morning, Hubby brought his "first wife" cum his car for inspection and servicing. I consider myself as the "second wife" as men tend to love and care second wife more. Ha ha....We went for lunch and then went to haircut together. It's been a while since the last cut, and I wanted to shave off as much hair possible to prepare myself for the 'non-hair wash' during my confinement. And this round, it is the cheapest cut of all, RM 14.80. It turned out to be not too bad. Hubby loves it too.
Next, we went to Tesco Ampang just to shop for some groceries. Hubby bought three coconuts for me. Alot of people had explained the benefit of drinking coconut just before delivery. And previously we fought over this and I believe by now he would have believed what the others said, but from me who said that previously. I came back and made some egg tarts. Hhmm, this round it turned out to be bad. I turned on only the top part of the oven, not like usual, separating between top and bottom. Guess the heat is too much for the egg tarts this time, it turned black.
There's a few nice ones and I brought them to my sis to try. I went to visit her to take stuff she brought back from Taiping. And also to greet her goodbye as she is flying off to Bangkok to unite with her husband soon.
Hubby and I had our dinner at Wendy's at Aeon AU2. Though it's not a big restaurant, still we enjoyed our time there. I can tell that Hubby is anxiously waiting for Angel to come out. Somehow I think he wished if she's out today itself and it'll be a triple celebration for us every year. Hmmm, it's too good to be true, and it won't as it is now 11pm.
I bought a wallet for Hubby. And though I did not receive any gift or surprise, still I'm glad that we spent the day together. He is supporting me through my last 2 weeks of pregnancy.
I love you Dd, Happy Birthday and Happy ROM anniversary to both of us. May we live happily ever after!

Daddy's win

Congratulations to hubby dearest for winning the RM1,000 BSN certificate for the Power Root contest June09. Even though this is only the consolation prize, but still we are proud enough. He managed to win it with just two entries.
Last Saturday, the personnel from the office called him to collect the prize at the Technology Park, Bukit Jalil. The best part was he has to undergo a shooting event and interview before he can collect the prize. Sounds hard as we couldn't expect how the situation is going to be like.
We were asked to reach the office by 10am. Not much people are there, more or less about 5 families. Some of them won the same prize like hubby, some of them won the RM500 cash money.
Guess what, the Power Root ambassador, Rosyam Noor and a lady arrived. They started to shoot for each winner. We are the only non-bumis winner there, which makes them even more interested to shoot the segment with us. I was in the shooting too, but I didn't get myself involved in the photo shootings.
Luckily I used my hp camera to shoot down a few photos. Just for rememberance. Angel definately bring us luck to win this contest.

Hubby is acting secretive. He wonder if anyone could recognise his face.

All the winners with the ambassador.

One shot for memory. Who knows he will win the grand prize of RM 1,000,000.

This is the two entries he submitted. This is requested by the shooting team.

We have no idea if they are going to advertise this in TV. So scary, I wouldn't have look nice in it with my pregnant look. Ha ha, still this is a very good experience for both of us.

Angel's chest drawers

As promised, we went to Ikea right after work on Friday, 16Oct09 to buy the chest drawers for Angel. Thank God the price went down from RM 229 to RM199 with the new issuance of the catalogue. At least we save up the RM30. There are only less than 10 units left, it must have been very popular then. It was seriously heavy as hubby lifted one up.
Hubby only started to install it during weekends. It is pretty amazing that he finished installing it within an hour plus. Guess this round he followed the instruction strictly. As usual, I didn't have the chance to participate and can just look from far.
The bad part of me was I secretly took a few shots of the installation process. Ha ha, he didn't notice it. And I arranged the shots nicely as below:-

Thanks Hubby! Angel would love this!

9 July 2009

It's our 9th year dating anniversary. We were scheduled for a trip to Hong Kong from 8-13 July 2009, free air tickets courtesy of Air Asia. And we intended to have a nice trip together before I deliver my BB. Somehow we decided to call off the trip due to the H1N1 virus outbreak.
Still, on this date, we decided to have a small celebration. Hubby suggested that we go for a movie after work. We have not been watching movies at cinemas since before our wedding.
We succeeded in buying tickets for Transformers 2 after the three failed attempts weeks before. No lavish dinner this round, just a bowl of white porridge and 'you tiao' at I Love You! stall in The Gardens. No appetite for big dinner, just felt like having a nice hot meal. And it turned out to be the nicest meal that we ever had. It gave me a flashback to the days we had during our college days. And that night, I felt hubby's care for me and BB.
We enjoyed the movie very much with popcorns. This would probably be the last movie I will have before my BB is out. I was very tired after the movie and slept all the way back to our house.
I enjoyed the night and it wasn't bad after all. Thanks, DD for the night! Love ya!

V-day celebration

It's truly special as he arranged for a V-day weekend in Cameron Highlands. He booked a 3-rooms apartment under his company, situated right opposite the golf course. Good view! Places we went: Cactus Valley, BOH Tea Centre, Healthy Strawberry Farm, Cameron Bharat Tea Plantation, KEA Farm, Rose Valley...Back to nature this round, different from b4, always dinner, dinner and dinner. He enjoyed this trip, breathing in gallons of fresh oxygen. It's like a recharge vacation to us. We let go our work stresses right away. We had charcoal fire steamboat with organic vegetables. He bought me a dozen of peach roses, I didn't demand a nicely packed ones as it is pricey during this season. We even invited my friend and husband on V-night and she prepared a steamboat meal for us too. I'm indeed happy that we took time off for this trip! Happy Valentine's Day!Ha ha ha.....next trip???

Chinese New Year 2009

This year's CNY would definately not be the same for me. Unlike previous years, I'm now with my husband and we are spending our CNY in parents-in-law's house. I have to make myself to adapt to the way they celebrate the occassion. It's like moving into another different world...from a modern family environment to a traditional, rules based family environment. I do admired the way they prayed to the ancestors and the Gods. All steps are well taken care of and I tried best not to disobey any one of them. My mother-in-law always make the best soup ever!! And my father-in-law will always smile and I think I can click with him in any topic. Perhaps, this is only the beginning....things will change again when the special someone comes into our life. And I'm sincerely waiting for it to happen! God bless!

Gong Xi Fa Cai and may the Year of Ox will bring us prosperity and good health. May this year will help us both in our career.

10 Rules For A Happy Marriage

I came across a blog and they quoted these 10 rules. And when I searched further, this list came from a couple who reached their 50th wedding anniversary and successfully made their marriage a promise for life. Now, I posted the rules here, and see how much rules we can live by:-

1. Never both be angry at the same time.
2. Never yell at each other unless the house is on fire.
3. If one of you has to win an argument, let it be your mate.
4. If you must criticize, do it lovingly.
5. Never bring up mistakes of the past.
6. Neglect the whole world rather than each other.
7. Never go to sleep with an argument unsettled.
8. At least once every day say a kind or complimentary word to your life partner.
9. When you have done something wrong, admit it and ask for forgiveness.
10. Remember it takes two to make a quarrel.


It may sound simple, I do not know if I can stick to these rules..hahaha.. at least I'm now entering these 10 rules into my brain from now on...

Life After Marriage!!

40 days had passed since the wedding ceremony. Life goes on as usual with an additional title; "Husband & Wife". Our life is now promoted to the next level and I can say I enjoy it so far. It is our effort to make it legal and to add up the love chemistry for both of us. We used to think differently, but now we learn to give and take with each other. I always reminded him that whatever decision he takes, he need to think for both of us. Not him alone anymore.... Hahaha, seems scary isn't it??

We are now waiting for our new home to complete. Until then, we just have a shelter to live in, hahaha, PITY US! Right now, both of us are busy with our own work. I'm tied up with my company's year end closing and he is in transition period of changing his job function.. He worked most of the weekend, sometimes from night till morning.. He must be under stress!! I thought of asking him to share with me his problems and pressures, somehow he doesn't have the time to sit down and talk to me. Even if he worked till morning, he'll just take a short nap and will bring me out to "jalan jalan", which I think is his way of relaxing himself. We both can seriously jalan jalan, sometimes turn out buying nothing. This is one of his strengths I love about!

Honeymoon Trip

We went for our honeymoon trip to Pattaya and Bangkok for 7 days, 6 nights. Many friends wonder what we did there. The answer is WALK AND SHOP, WALK AND SHOP!! The first night was at Pattaya, we engaged on a tour guide to bring us to the Mini Siam, Tiffany's Show and Underwater World Pattaya. Too bad, I did not know that this place was happening, we only had a night there. Pattaya, we'll return to explore you more.

In Bangkok, it is seriously walk and shop, walk and shop. The only places we visited is the Grand Palace, Emerald Buddhist Temple and Safari World. My husband enjoyed the day trip in Safari. Somehow, he loves animal so much that he can resist to go there again if ever we have our next Bangkok trip. Ha ha...

The shopping malls we went too are Siam Paragon, Siam Square, MBK, Central World, Zen, Isetan, Praturnam Centre, Gaysorn and Big C. The night markets would be Praturnam Market and Suan Lum Night Bazaar. We even went to Chatuchak too.. Too much stuff we bought, majority would be souveniers for relatives and friends. Overall, it is a tiring yet enjoyable trip.

My husband did say this is not our honeymoon trip. I do not know why, perhaps we don't really have time for each other. Everyday was like wake up and SHOP!! Hmm, hopefully I'll have another trip soon!!!!

A beautiful end to Year 2008!!

Of all the months, I have always love December. First and foremost, my parent's wedding anniversary on Dec 1, then my birthday on Dec 2, next my sis's second daughter's birthday on Dec 12, Mum's birthday on Dec 15 and my sis's eldest daughter's birthday on Dec 28. Everyone is enjoying the most during this month too as it's Christmas time, the year-end sale and counting down to the new year.

And this round, I added up one important date to December to make up to six, my wedding anniversary on Dec 6. Two weeks had passed.... I remembered, what I did was, to make reservation during Dec 2007 for the wedding reception. Then to take two photoshoots in May and June 2008. We were pretty much relax relax, and when Oct comes, wow, everyday was like a ticking bomb.....every minute....it went down real real fast and it was crazy. How we created our own dvd slideshows, how we picked up our favourite songs, how we build up the guest list and seatings....huh...tiring. Though tiring, but I enjoyed every single minute of it. I received tonnes of blessings and gifts from my loved ones. I would always always remember my Hen's night on Nov 28, how he turned up on time that day, how my husband went through all the challenges (hahaha, for the first time, he wore bra), except for an average song performance.. and what he said during the reception. I knew he truly love me as much as I love him!!!!

I would say this year's December would be the special December of all years. And this ocassion perfectly ends up the year 2008. Merry X-mas and Happy New Year to all...
