Just now I make my face thick thick and send all my 4 children to my mom’s so that hubby and I have can a peaceful dinner. We went to Malim food court to enjoy hot steaming claypot Bak Kut Teh. We took our time to enjoy our food which we seldom get to do when dining with the children.

We had quite a show during lunch today. After church we brought the children to McD to enjoy some ice-cream. After ordering 2 Sundaes and 1 Sundae Cone, my son insisted that he wanted Sundae Cone and not Sundae. The cone was for my 2nd girl and she refused to share with him. After a good 15 minutes of crying out loud by my son, my 2nd girl finally gave in. It was quite a show.

Having a baby is very hazardous to my bank account. Even though I save money from buying disposable diapers and formula milk, I have to spend money on other things like my glasses! He loves grabbing my glasses and bend it. Due to it, my glasses have loosen and there is no way of tightening it coz there are crack at the screws that is holding my frameless glasses. The optometrist told me that new frameless glasses come with clips; no more screws and it won’t loosen too. I hope I will be able to discount prescription glasses when this glasses of mine really breaks.

Yup! Ashamed to admit that I am finally addicted to Facebook game; Farmville. Due to that, I hardly have time or lazy to spend time updating my blogs. It is fun to be able to plant, earn money, accept and send gifts, buy stuff like trucks, home, barn and truck accessories. But it won’t be for long coz MIL and the maid is leaving us this weekend. Meaning, I won’t have anyone to look after my 10mo baby while I glued myself to the computer. I’ll still play; addicted already mah. But I’ll choose the crops that takes 4 days to harvest.

Today is Valentine’s Day and for us, Chinese, today is also our Chinese New Year Day. We are celebrating the Year of the Tiger this year. The year I was born in 36 years ago or was it 24 years ago. I think it is the later.

Which ever celebration that you are going to celebrate, I would like to wish you Happiness Always and Always thank God for the people that He has placed in our hearts to love and cherish.

Happy Valentine’s Day

I really thank God that he healed me just on time to celebrate Chinese New Year. Today, I gladly announce that I am completely healed. No more headache and no more sore-throat. I also got back my appetite last night. I ate a packet of Nasi Lemak topped with one hard-boiled egg and a piece of fried chicken. I will surely need the weight loss pills if my appetite continues to be this big. Furthermore, tonight we will start feasting till the 2nd night of Chinese New Year. We will start of with the reunion dinner, then steamboat or satay celup on the first night and BBQ on the 2nd night of Chinese New Year. Come join me!

Whenever I am awake when hubby returns home from work, I will request him to give me a foot massage and sometimes leg massage. Since a few months ago, when I am having my monthly period, I suffer joint pain too. No period cramp, no leg cramp but joint pain! I think this is due to me not following strictly the confinement do’s and dont’s. Too bad I can’t undo this. I can only make sure I keep my legs warm, eat more nutritious food and swallow the USANA supplements.

I am hook to this Enchanted movie clip since it started showing it’s preview on Disney Chanel. I watched the movie sometime ago but this song is so catchy. Besides that my 2nd girl started singing and humming to this song almost everyday. 2 days ago, while waiting for her teacher to arrive, all of the sudden she sang out loud “That’s how you know, that’s how you know, that’s you know he’s your love.” Only after that she realised that there were other people around her besides me. She started to blush

Now, as I am typing this out and reading the diet pill comparison article, I am listening to the song.

Today we were served with the most oily lunch ever! I can’t believe they let HER cook all our reunion dinner food last night. Nyonya food must be cooked by a Nyonya. No matter how good is a Chinese cook, they can never cook the Nyonya dishes like the Nyonya does.

The Pong Teh does not taste like Pong Teh at all; even my 6yo girl agrees to it! The Itik Tim lacks the sourish taste. The Sek Ak/Bak; I see the amount of oil floating in the bowl and the thick layer if fat on the pork, I don’t even dare to try. I am sure I would need the epiduo to prevent breakouts of I eat them. The Ayam Buah Keluak is way too oily plus other dishes also oily.

Our Indonesian maid cooks better Nyonya food that HER.

In 2 days time most loving couples in this world will be celebrating Valentine’s Day. For some this would be their first time meeting their Valentine. If you are one of them, I am sure you would want to look your best on this first date. What more on Valentine’s day! I am sure the ladies have started dieting and taking weight loss supplement so that they will look their best on this day. But also remember, no matter how good your look or how sexy your are, inner beauty surpasses all outward appearance.

My weight is still hovering at 45kg, plus minus 0.5kg. So far, breastfeeding is still the best weight loss pills for me. However, I don’t drink Milo as often as before, I eat lesser rice and I don’t take supper whenever possible. It is because, my baby is more on solid now and he is drinking lesser breastmilk now. So, I can’t be eating as much as before if I want to maintain this ideal weight.

We built a pangkin in between a durian tree and a rambutan tree last Chinese New Year and wrapped it with the rubber mat. It was the best outdoor furniture they ever built. Hubby slept on it when we gave our rooms away to his sister’s who are back from Australia and UK. I went to sleep at my mom’s with our children.

After the Chinese New Year, it was kind of abandoned and the dogs took over it and make it their bed! The puppies torn the rubber mat and it needs replacement if anyone plans to sleep on it this Chinese New Year.

At last we found the time to send my old junk for another repair. To change the coil that makes the timing very high. I hope there won’t be any major repair after this coz we need our cash to settle our business loan. And if God willing, hubby wants to buy a better car that we can use to travel outstation.

Is there any car insurance where you can claim any repair cost? Just like the life insurance. When we are hospitalized we can claim the hospitalization cost.

Yesterday, I went to hubby’s shop after sending my eldest girl to art class. Before leaving the shop, I asked hubby, “Where is my roses?” He answered casually, “Tomorrow, tomorrow. My roses not yet grow.” Oh! I get it, he is waiting for his plots of roses in his Farmville to grow. Duh!

Anyway, I waited. Better than no rose at all right? Unfortunately, I still did not receive any rose from hubby today. I think his water sprinkler broke down and his roses could not grow in time. And then arh, he did not buy the mechanical breakdown insurance and got no money to repair the water sprinkler.

In that case, I want a real rose!

921202.

That was the number that hubby’s used to write at the end of his love letter to me almost 2 decades ago. In 2 more years, we would have loved each other for 20 years!

I think he purposely chose 12th of February so that he can skip buying overpriced roses for me on Valentine’s day.

MIL’s maid really had a good life in KL; small house without huge compound to maintain and good food everyday. She is fatter now!

Two days ago, I bought her a blouse for Chinese New Year. It was M size but it was fitting for her. She them told me that she has put on weight. So I went to change it to L size; not fitting but I can see her bulging tummy! She has really put on weight!!! Must introduce weight loss products to her lar.

She told me that besides not much to be done in BIL’s house and eating a lot there, she is excited thinking that she is going home soon. Senang hati!

Only this Ma’am susah hati.

I love my Baby boy so much. Every time he smiles, I think I fall in love with him again and again. His smiles will melt everyone’s heart; seriously! Even hubby told him that if he is a girl and older (of course), he will definitely be attracted to him. I told him a million time that I want him to be my boyfriend.

I do not know what I did to get such a handsome and happy boy. Could it be the prenatal vitamins? Or the stimulation that he gets from his 3 siblings that laugh, giggles, scream and talk to him everyday when he was in my tummy?

I know that my menses is coming soon when I see pimples start to pop out everywhere. I really meant everywhere; places that you can never imagine pimples would emerge. Since I am married with 4 kids, I don’t really bother about them unlike when I was a teenager. I will freak out when one pimple pops out and will try my best to look for the best acne treatments that is within my means.

I read that a few of my fellow blogger friends are flying away this Chinese New Year. Not sure whether they are heading to Poipu vacation rentals but I read one of them will be celebrating Chinese New Year in HongKong Disneyland.

I realised that KL people and the rich prefers to go for vacation to celebrate their Chinese New Year. One thing that is obvious is they have very small family. I can imagine how “quiet” their Chinese New Year celebration is going to be unlike those with big family like mine. Furthermore, the rich prefers not to distrubute their wealth with others. Many times I heard them saying, “Better I use my money by going for a holiday with my family than give to others.”

I guess they never experience the joy of giving.

Sunday is the only day when we can have him the whole day. Almost. 10am-1pm we will be in church. After that it is family day.

Unfortunately, since hubby can’t join the church activities on weekdays, they shifted the meetings and men’s fellowship on Sunday night. So far, every other Sunday, hubby will be away from 7pm-10pm. By the time he comes home, all of us will be asleep coz the next day is school day. So we only have him to ourselves for 6 hours or so.

*sigh*

Two Saturdays ago I suffered so much pain on my lower abdomen. When bathing all my 4 children that evening, I thought I was going to die coz it was really really painful. I gave a call to hubby get him to find out the funeral costs just in case my time is going up that day. No lar, I called him to come home to prepare dinner for our children coz I can hardly stand to cook. Sadly, he can’t come home coz his part-time has not come in to work yet. So, I bore the pain a lil while more and prepared a quick dinner; hamburgers.

Last Saturday, the pain came back again but it was not as severe as two Saturdays ago. Well, I am most busy on Saturdays and the children are home. I go more work and cleaning to do and I get easily stress up when they mess up the house and when they had siblings fight.

Now, my toughest assignment is to stay cool on Saturdays despite the workload and screaming children.
