A few months back we sent our LCD monitor for repair. After 3 months we were told that they couldn’t find the parts to repair it and asked us to take back our LCD monitor. But the LCD monitor that the computer shop is returning to us is not ours! Looks like they have given our LCD monitor to someone else and they do not have any idea into whose possession it is now. Like this also can and my dear hubby did not make any fuss about it! If I were there, sure the boss will get a piece of my mind. Now we are thinking of buying another LCD monitor. Still looking for a good buy at Cyber Monday.

I found what I want for Christmas this year! I know, I know Christmas is half year to go but no harm starting my wish list now right? hehe. There are a lot more cute Disney cell phone cases that are being sold in the website. There is Minnie mouse but pink is too girlish for me. There is Tweetie bird but it is too babyish for me. So, I pick Tigger because my 4yo son loves Tigger and Pooh and orange is his favorite colour.

Hubby told me to work at his CC today from 2.30pm - 4pm because he has to attend a meeting with a contractor. I am so reluctant to work at his shop. Not that I don’t want to help him. I enjoyed helping the customers load their digital frame, do laminating or photostating but I cannot stand the smell of the shop when all kind of sweaty people starts coming in. And I have to work during the hottest hour of the day. I am sure, I will be gagging through! Must arm myself with freshener to survive working at hubby’s shop today.

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.

It is November already and soon it will be December. Shopping complexes have started putting up Christmas decoration and playing Christmas song. I believe some of you have started planning for Christmas; buying lights and ornaments for the artificial christmas trees. Some churches have started practicing for their Christmas Celebration. This year, my son told me that he wants to be come a sheep in the Nativity Play. I hope he does not chicken out last minute. Other than that, we will have yet another quiet Christmas.

Time for a change.

Surprisingly hubby told me to look for a Spy Watch for him. Told me to get it from China and the price is around RM200++.

I wonder whether this is for his birthday present. If yes, my budget is not that much. Unless God bless me with more assignment, then I might consider.

To me, this is not a practical gift. Just another Boy’s Toys.

There is a farming going on at my place and the farmers are reviving the soil by adding chicken dung and some whitish chemical. Due to the the air at my house smells of chicken dung! And this will last for another 2 weeks until they cover up the bunds with the plastic cover. I hope there is no asbestos in the chemical. If not we might need to look for treatments for Mesothelioma in a few years time!

On the first day they put the chicken dung on the bunds, I have already hang my laundry and all my clothes smells of chicken dung. We have to re-wash the whole batch and hand them at my mom’s who live 2km away from my place. Since then, after sending my girls to school, I will drive to my mom’s and hang our laundry there and go back there in the evening to collect them home.

Our cars have been giving us problem many times this week. There is one day, both cars cannot start and my children and I was stranded at home with no food on the table. You see, almost everyday, I go to my mom’s either for lunch or dinner. So we ended up eating fried eggs for lunch and dinner; the quickest food I can prepare with a baby crying for attention all the time when he is awake.

Since then hubby has been looking around for good used car and he saw one Waja with nice rear spoiler selling at only 30k but the car is in Ipoh. Since then he is still looking around for affordable used car for a family of 6.

I have not seen Brownie for 3 days already. On Wednesday, I prepared a very delicious food (boiled chicken parts and skins with Soy Sauce) for him plus pet supplements but the food is left untouched. Not only Brownie, I did not see Spotty either. Where are they? I am a lil bit worried that they have been killed in a road accident like one of their siblings. Now our left-over will just go to the rubbish bin instead of the dogs. What a waste!

For almost a month we are without any pet dog after he died of road accident. When there is no dog around, the left over food is wasted being thrown to the rubbish pit. So I started feeding 2 stray puppies; one is brown in colour and another is white with black spots. Brownie decided to hang around this house more often. The thing is with puppies, they like to bite shoes. When there is no puppies around the house, our shoes are saved to be put outside the house. Now, the moment you leave your shoe, they come and snatch it away to play with. Besides shoes, they have bitten the dog ramps, my trampoline and sit up chair.

Something has gone pretty wrong with my Canon camera. The macro function can’t work anymore; close up are blurry now and the battery runs out very fast. At first I thought it was the battery fault but when I pressed the battery compartment, the power came back again. The camera has dropped a few times so it is kinda expected that it will die soon. I hope it can still function as long as it could because I have no money to buy a new one.

I play no musical instrument. I did learn how to play guitar but before I master it, I stopped. Then when I was in campus, I took a few piano lessons from one of my juniors in our Christian Fellowship but due to our busy schedule we stopped after a few lessons. When I was young, my parent couldn’t afford to send me to piano class. Looks like we can’t afford to send our children to any music class either. But we really hope that we could.

On Monday, we were out sending our newborn to the hospital for blood test and on the way home we stopped by a few electrical shop to look for an electric oven. I did not manage to find the oven that I wanted but a 34″ LCD TV caught hubby’s attention. It was selling less than seven hundred ringgit. You guess it right; China brand that comes with one year warranty. I can bet with you that after a year, the TV will surely spoil. We experienced that before. With heavy heart, hubby bid farewell to that TV.

Have you watched the movie? It is directed by Gabriele Muccino. Will Smith stars as a man who sets out to change the lives of seven people. This is because he felt guilty of causing the death of 7 people, his fiancée is one of them when driving and talking on his cellphone. If he drinks and drives, I am sure he needs to hire the Massachusetts OUI Lawyer.

What he did was donating his organs to those people who really needs them and helped a lady with 2 children who is being abused by her boyfriend by giving them his beach house.

He donated 6 of his organs to 6 different people; lung lobe, liver, kidney, bone marrow, corneas and his heart. For the last 2 organs, he committed suicide in order for them to receive those organs.

This is the movie that I am watching right now while typing this post! For the past few days, hubby and I have been watching Heroes Season 3 but today, the episode that we wanted to watch, no one seeds in wTorrent. There are all together 25 episodes and we are down to episodes 20 onwards. So Seven Pounds for tonight.

Our seasonal fruits are budding and in less than 3 months time we will be enjoying Durians, Rambutans and Mangosteen. However we can’t feast so much on these fruits because their are quite heaty if taken a lot. Eating too much of them will surely cause you to have sore throat and cough if not accompanied by drinking lots of water. Sometimes I do wish our tropical climate can allow Apricot trees, Apple tress, Peach tress, all kinds of Berries to grow.

I love to take pictures. Okay, maybe not true. I like to take pictures. While I was still studying a decade ago, digital camera is rare and expensive. Back then you would have to use the SLR camera using the roll film. Usually one roll can take about 36 snapshots and then you send them to the photo shop to have them develop into hardcopies. I make sure that I keep the pictures in a safe place.

Now looking back at the old pictures, I can still remember what I did. It brings back good old memories.
Now that I have a digital camera, I would happily take snapshots and upload it to my computer. The problem is that I do not have the hardcopy of the pictures. It is all in softcopy, which unfortunately is very easy to get lost or deleted.

I just discovered that I do not know where the inlet to pour the engine lubricants is! And I have been driving for 10 years! And worked in a lubricant manufacturing company for 9 years!

2 days ago, I top-up the brake fluid and also checked the level of the engine lubricant. The level is half, meaning it i time to top up but I just didn’t know which cap to open to pour the lubricant in.

All this while I only top up the water for the radiator. Other than that, all done either by my dad, hubby or the mechanic!

And please don’t ask me what is coilovers? I will tell you that it is “someone who loves coils.”

When hubby was still working full time in church, I dread the day when he has to travel oversea. There was 3 different occasions where I was left at home while he went for his mission trip oversea. First time was when we were newly wed. That time I missed him terribly because I have to sleep all alone in our king size bed. Second time when I was pregnant during my last trimester. I was so worried that I will have to drive to the hospital all by myself to give birth. Third time, it was 3 days after I gave birth to my son; he flew to Philippines for 10 days! Thank God I did my confinement at my parent’s house; so he wasn’t needed that much.

Even the ground floor has been rented but not ours!

Am ranting about hubby’s apartment again. Student does not prefer ground floor because they are dirty. We were surprised to learn from the real estate agent that all 4 vacant ground floor apartment has all been rented.

Hubby had call yesterday and we were pretty convince that they will rent our apartment. We went to meet them but they have no cash to pay for the deposit yet. Told us that they will call today to inform me what time to meet them at the apartment to collect the deposit. When they left, I had the feeling that they will not call.

True enough, none of them call me.

We kinda gave up and will let the real estate agent help us out. Too tired driving there so many times and no deal.
