All hubby’s nieces and nephews residing in Malaysia are back here to play with each other again. This is the time I hardly see my children’s face all at once! They will be all over the place. Some playing outdoor, some playing ps3, psp and even the ps3 headset! Some just hanging around under the durian tree chatting away. This is also the time, my youngest will be less clingy to me. She will be entertained by everything that is happening around her. Good for me coz I can hardly walk if I have to carry her due to the pain in my tummy.

Watching the NFL playoffs is a great way for you to be able to enjoy yourself in the company of other people. There are so many people who love to watch the playoffs, so it is not going to be difficult to find friends to watch with you. I started watching the playoffs this year. In fact, just the other day I was watching the Colts vs Jets game. This was a game in which the Colts were suppose to win, but the Jets have been known as a spoiler team lately. As it turned out, the game lived up to everything that it was suppose to be.

The Jets were able to upset the Colts by a single point. The Jets will now! advance to the next round of the playoffs. I got to enjoy watching the whole thing on Direct.tv in HD (high definition). That is a great feature that is coming to a lot of the games lately, and I think it is just wonderful.

Having everyone over and enjoying a football game is certainly a great American tradition. It is something that you are going to want to make sure that you are doing on a regular basis if you want to understand why there are so many people who love to do this. Try it for yourself today.

That was where we were a few hours ago. Today we celebrated our 10th marriage anniversary and hubby brought us to look for a massage center to pamper ourselves a lil bit. We wanted to go back to the Dr Fish Spa center but it is no longer there. So, we just drove around Melaka Raya Business center till we found this Rasa Sayang which is opened for business. We saw a few but all of them are closed.

At Rasa Sayang, hubby went for the full body massage at RM40/hour and myself for the foot reflexology at RM31/hour. Later on the way back, we saw a few other center at that offers the same services at a cheaper rate. RM56 for 2 hours of body massage! I think we will go their on our wedding anniversary in May.

I like the setting of Rasa Sayang. Plasma TV in every room, nice comfy sofa, matouk linen and very fresh and clean environment. But we have problem communicating with the masseurs because all of them came from China and they understand very minimal English. Thank God they are patience enough to try to understand my broken Mandarin.

When I was studying in Penang, I often hike up Bukit Jambul. I am missing it a lot! One of these days, I hope to put on my zamberlan hiking boots again and hike up a hill. Any hill will do but the best will be hiking up Mount Kinabalu. I hope I won’t be too old by then. Still got another baby to raise before I can “close shop”.

Any idea when is Halloween? Since we do not celebrate it, I never know the date until some mommy blogger wrote it in their blog about their halloween celebration and show off their cute infant halloween costumes. If my children wants Halloween costume, I will just sew for them. Let them dress us as Mr Platypus or Mr Penguin coz I doubt they wouldn’t want to wear anything scary.

MIL and her maid is back. According to SIL, they are back for good but I am not jumping for joy yet. Anything can happened within these few months before the maid return to her country for good.

Since Sunday is the only day that hubby is at home the whole day and night, I took this opportunity to go for a movie with hubby while our children is being babysat by MIL and her maid.

When you have a baby that still breastfeeds, timing is very important. Must choose a movie that starts before 8pm so that I can be home by 10.30pm for my baby next feed.

So last Sunday night, we managed to watch The Prince of Persia show at 7.55pm. No movie night for us this coming Sunday though coz MIL and her maid are going to another BIL’s house for a visit. Hmmmm…maybe we can. My mom is around. hehehehe.

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.

This is our latest look. He with his silly face; as always and I with my new bob hair cut which I regretted because my eldest daughter said it is not nice.

Do we look like we have 4 children already??? I still feel like we just graduated from varsity.

We hope that we will grow old gracefully and without any sickness if possible and not bedridden please. Can’t imagine having to wear adult diapers and my children having to wash my butt butt! So embarrassing.

The crazy lovebirds. The nickname given by hubby’s niece; Hilda.

We were enjoying our BBQ dinner on a swing under a durian tree.

I am in a Christmas mood now. It all started with my girls watching Barbie Christmas Carol 2 days ago and again today. Then they starting singing and humming the Christmas Carols, I watched movie about Christmas on Hallmark and reading about other bloggers preparation for Christmas.

Are you wondering what my Christmas preparation for this year is? Nothing except making sure that my girls got the courage to go up on the stage as sheep for the Nativity Play during Christmas service. I won’t be buying any Christmas present because the church I am currently attending does not practice exchanging of gifts. It is not a bad thing because to some, this might be a burden.

However some of the church members will hold Christmas party at their home. For the past few years, I only experienced one Christmas party where there are games for the adult. It was so much fun than just eating, chatting and watching the children play.

So, if any of you are going to have a Christmas part this year, please do prepare some Christmas games for the adult. No idea on what games to play? Check out the Christmas Party Ideas from Celebrations.com. I am sure your guess will never forget your Christmas party.

Dear, you are born to be a lawyer lar.

Hubby is in the mood of downloading movies again. And we have been watching movies after movies at home. When we do not have extra to spend, we will just make do with our home theater seating that is our bed instead the stiff theater seats at the cinema.

More movies is coming. Some old ones like The Perfume, Step Up 2 and news ones; Iron Man, National Treasure etc.

Since we are already spending money in paying for the internet, might as well make it to full use.

Hubby love big bikes. If we have the means, he would love to own a Harley Davidson. At one time I was so tempted to buy him one! Thank God I came to my senses that the money is better saved for our children’s education and for our future mission trips.

But that never stop him from hoping that one day God will bless him with a big bike. If ever that were to become a reality I must get those cool Harley Davidson helmets for women; I want the pink one! I am already imagining myself riding with him on a Harley and enjoying the cool evening breezing as we cruise along the coastal road.

As for now, we have to be contented with his old bike and no brand helmet for me. Due to the petrol price hike, we often go dating on the bike to save petrol.

Cabal is an online game that my hubby is currently into and I kinda get hooked to it; helping him to complete his quest! Since I do not have to blog so much nowadays and while waiting for my girls to finish their homework, I play for 15 minutes to half an hour.

Like many other online game, it will be much smoother and faster if you have a higher ram. When I play, sometimes the character just stood still and when it recovers, the character has been killed!

Hubby said, at one glance, he looks like Chow Yun Fatt!

Maybe I should get him to dress up in the equestrian clothing and get him to post like the above. And then I shall post their photo side by side as really see whether they do look alike.

Since I first laid eyes on Chow Yun Fatt, he has been my favorite Hong Kong actor. Maybe that is the reason I got attracted to my hubby. Coz he look like Chow Yun Fatt!

Being spontaneous.

That’s why we did tonight. All we know that Thursday is our night out. We did not plan on how to spend the night. All I know is, I wanted to eat Ikan Bakar.

So we drove all the way to Padang Temu and had our Ikan Bakar at Muara Sg. Duyung. It was raining so, a walk at the beach after dinner is not possible.

Hubby suggested for us to catch a movie. So to Mahkota Parade we went and we watched Escape from Huang Shi, a story based on true life story about a man named George Hogg that lead 60 Chinese orphaned boys to safety from the Japanese army.

I like spontaneity. It’s fun.

Time to go sleep beside my son. I promised him that before I left him with the maid.

As I was having lunch with hubby after church just now, I remembered the above video clip.

Watch it.

This is super duper funny. After watching a few times, I can still LOL.

Some of you might say that this video clip is racist but I am looking it at a different perspective.

Even in his anger, he did not curse like what other typical Malaysian or Singaporean or even American would do there they are irritated to the extreme.

I really respect the Indian/Bangla shop owner. No matter how angry he is, he did not curse. We really must learn from him.

During our dating days, we cycle a lot; especially at the beach. It was because we couldn’t afford a motorbike what more a car. hehe. I will ride on my brother’s mountain bike and my then boyfriend on his old “apek” bicycle. Those big black bicycle with a pole in the middle. We can cycle really far and now when we think about it, I don’t think we have the stamina to do so.

I always wanted to get the pink beach cruiser but my part time pay was only $200 a month. Too little to buy me a new bicycle. If not I will sure get one and stick those pink and flowery beach cruiser design decals. They look so sweet and pretty.
