Since hubby starts cycling to work, his tummy starts shrinking too. Since he is slimming down, he has been urging me to start exercising too. Not that I do not want to. I just don’t have the time to exercise. The only way for me to slim down is by popping diet pills.
Unfortunately hubby doesn’t allow me to buy them. He worries of the side effect; especially if it caused infertility. He wants 10 children! I almost jumped out from the car when he told me that! Who wants to take my place?
Hubby will have to work full day at his shop (10am to 12am) everyday starting September until he found a new assistant. His current assistant found a new job.
This also means I will be busy too and my children might be neglected by me because I will have to release hubby at the shop for him to rest and take a shower.
Bring them to the shop? Not a good idea. They will turn the place upside down! 
We are praying for a trustworthy assistant. God please send one pretty soon. Pretty please.
All of us know that when spending money we need to get the best out of it. For instance when renewing your car insurance, you need to compare car insurance and get the best rate before flipping open your wallet/purse.
Unfortunately that I did not have the luxury to do because I depended on my dad to renew my car insurance because it is still under his name and for the love of his relatives; he bought it from one of his cousins!
Anyway, it was not that expensive but I am wondering whether I could get it cheaper else where. 
We woke up late on Sunday morning, very late so we skipped church. After frying some bee hoon for my children I decided to bring the children to the beach. Hubby was still sleepy but I still drag him out; offered to bring along his pillow but he declined. 
So, I get the children ready and packed some vintage t shirts for ourselves in case we get wet which we did not plan too. We just want to chill out with each other and watch our children have fun playing at the beach. And we did just that. 
My son is already 2yo and hubby is urging me to have the 4th one. He said that 3 is too few and when it comes to financial need, we will burden them in the future since there is only 3 unlike his siblings; there are 11 of them. He can’t compare his mom and myself. The food that we eat is totally different; our lifestyles too. There is possibility that my life span is shorter than her!
Furthermore, I had breast infection after I gave birth to my son; had a minor surgery to remove the abscess and it took more than month for it to heal. I can’t imagine the pain if the breast were to be engorged again with milk. Nowadays, I often fall sick and experiencing pain on my right tummy again (I have medical history).
Even though I told him all that, he still do not want to comprehend my situation. I think he’d rather see me die earlier. That is what I fear would happened to me after I give birth to the 4th child; my health will continue to deteriorate.
Not many children to take care of me, never mind; I don’t mind living in an institution like Houston assisted living home when I grow old. I want to grow old, not die young.
We celebrated my dad’s 63rd birthday today at a small restaurant in town. Being a dad who has gone through tough time earning money for the family refused to let us spend money on just food which will become “fertiliser” the next day. We insisted because this will be one of the few times that the family get together and eat on the same table at the same time.
As his birthday gifts, I wanted to buy him golf balls but I am sure he will object so I gave him cash instead in a form of Angpow. My mom told me that he immediately head to the bank to save the money after I left home. Very typical of my dad. That is why he can bring all the 5 of us up plus my grandfather and grandmother with just RM700 a month!
To bed by 9.30pm and the awake has been tele-ported to my mom’s to sleep with her, hubby was too tired to have fun.
Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
It started by bringing The Charlie’s Angel for a movie; Made of Honour on our dating night.
Followed by Juliet’s 17th birthday; not my son’s. He is so excited to cut the cake.
Then SIL’s (Juliet’s mom) birthday; a day after. Sorry lar, my son stole the limelight again.
Guess what Hilda is looking for.
I got shopping kaki on Sunday! But before that, must feed them well before making them walk, walk and walk.
My 2nd girl is getting better from her Chicken Pox. Now the other 2 got the Chicken Pox. My problem is, I can’t leave both of them with MIL and the maid while I go to work. My son is extra clingy especially when he is not feeling well. So I will have to take at least a week off to mind them.
My mom was telling me that since I already plan to resign, why not just resign now. True also as there is only left 2 weeks before month end. I think I’ll drop in the office tomorrow, get some work done like teaching my successor hehe about the renewing of Hakgerakkan and car insurance quote for the boss and bid farewell to everyone.
From then onwards, trusting God to provide me the $$$.
Many times when I see homeless children, unwanted children and parentless children, it moves my heart to adopt them if I can afford it.
Last week during church, the speaker shared on how some of the children that they met during their mission trip begged them to bring them home with them so that they can have a home and education. It brought tears to my eyes.
Hubby wanted many children but I don’t think my body can take it anymore. I know my age still permit me to bear another one or two more but my health does not permits it. I can feel that my body is getting weaker after each child birth that it does not recover. 
Few days ago, hubby asked whether we want to consider adopting a child. We did not discuss further about it because it will take a lot of money, time to go through the process of child adoption and are we really ready to love someone that is not from our own?
If we really go ahead with this idea, I wanna get a digital frame to display all my children’s photo. Once we start with one, I worry that it will become contagious and get more than one child.
Yesterday I went for a wedding dinner, a new journey in life has just begun for that couple and soon new life will be formed. This morning I was greeted by a sad news. One of hubby’s cousins just passed away due to bone cancer. He was all well 2 months ago until he was paralyzed waist down. Today I came to know that he had bone cancer many years ago which was healed and it relapsed. He is only 55 years old. Well, life for his beloved that he left behind won’t be that difficult financially because he has term insurance, a coffee shop and children’s that are already working.
If you are given a choice, do you want to know when you will return to HIM?
I have no answer to that yet.
We are back from our short break in Port Dickson. We were at Tiara Beach Resort. The children had a lot of fun playing in the water but nothing much for us except the foot reflexology that we tried for the first time.
I always hear that foot reflexology is painful so, I expected the worst. The pain is bearable to me but not hubby. He didn’t know that it will be painful!
The room is clean but not as luxurious as vegas hotels. The only set back is the air-cond temperature which cannot be controlled. I woke up with leaking nose and had to switch of the air-cond but the windows can be opened.
Most wives would love to have a handyman at home. Unfortunately my man is not one of them. All he knows is to troubleshoot networking problem and reformatting computer if he can’t fix it. If there is anything wrong with the electronics item in the house, it will be left untouched until we get a replacement. Such a waste of money. Hope that my son would be able to take this “job” soon.
Praised God that we finally managed to gather RM67k for my SIL. All from her brothers and sister; one of the benefits of having many siblings.
I understand from one of my BILs that someone came to harass them for money on Easter Sunday. I wonder whether they are from the mortgage lenders. I hope not. And my SIL locked herself in her room for hours not wanting to talk to anyone due to the stress that she is facing.
Stress is not good coz it fools around with your hormones and this does not help in making her heal faster from her breast cancer.
I really hope that God will heal her ASAP and bless them financially indeed; more job offer for her hubby.
How I wish!
We are just going to revisit our honeymoon destination tomorrow; Genting Highland. We are leaving Malacca to KL today for FOOD, specifically, DIM SUM.
This time we have multiplied. It won’t be just the 2 of us. Our 2 daughters will tag along. I really love that they are coming along because I worry that hubby will hibernate all day long like what he did during our honeymoon there.
I kinda regretted picking Genting Highland as our honeymoon destination. He slept and slept and slept. Hibernate you know. We are supposed to be in “honeymoon” remember???
I must make sure that no cold places for our 2nd Honeymoon. We are going to an Island or a Desert.
I remembered that I mentioned to one of my blogger friends that besides communication, sex is very important in marriage. We should put extra effort to spice our our sex life.
There are many places you can get sex tips online and being able to perform better for your lover is important in many couples relationships. There are different sex games that include different sex toys and other methods to make the relationship more exciting.
More and more families have a home theater now. Hubby wished that he could have one too; unfortunately I don’t agree with that idea. Firstly, we do not have any extra room in the house and secondly, we hardly have time to watch movie due to running the business and parenting. Thirdly, pay up your business loan first!!! 
If he wants to get the home theater chairs, I might allow that. If it is comfy and one that reclines. I could do my reading there and then nap.
We skipped church again yesterday because my eldest was having a temperature. Normally we would send them to my mother’s if the sickness is not so serious but yesterday, my mom went to Seremban to visit my aunts. So I stayed home with the kids and let hubby go to church.
It was quite a relaxing Sunday for me. Bathe them, feed them, watch cartoons with them, read with them and of course discipline them when they go over the limit.
I think I have mentioned a few times that man will only do things as instructed. If you tell him A, he will do A. Nothing more, nothing less. They won’t use their common sense one. But I kept forgetting it.
This is what happened just now.
I woke up late and have no time to send our son to my mom’s.
So I told hubby to send our son to my mom before he goes to work.
You guess what? He sent my son only…without his milk and water bottle.
Here’s our tele-conversation:
Dear, I did not bring Barnabas bottle to your mom’s.
I told you to send my son, you send my son only lar?!!
Yalor.
So, I must tell you to send my son and his bottles lar?
Yalor.
Why man like that one?
Yalor.
Cekik darah or not???
One of hubby’s bad habit to PU in the sink. I really hate it when I need to brush my teeth and the pungent, stinky smell of his urine penetrates my nose. I nag him told him so many times to not shee-shee there but my lazy bum is just plain lazy to walk out the room and shee-shee in the toilet. I have second thought when he said he wanted to fix new bathroom vanities in the room. No point if he keeps polluting it with his shee-shee.
