Yesterday was our ROM (registration of marriage) 9th anniversary and we totally forgotten about it. Hubby remembers though; a day after that. He told me this morning. If he does not, it won’t come across my mind at all.

I guess it is not a significant date for me to remember. Even though we were legally married since that day, we did not lead a married life until we are married before the Lord on May 12 in the same year.

Looking forward to the month of April and May. April; my No. 4 baby will be 1yo!

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 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.

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.

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.

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 was very excited that we are finally going for a date again. Just hubby and I. We made a reservation to watch Avatar 3D tomorrow afternoon and our children will be in the safe arms of my parents.

Just when I am about to get excited, my right tummy pain became more intense and I was so tempted to pop in painkillers if I can find any. While bathing with the children, the pain was so intense that I raised my voice at them when they dilly dally. I felt very bad after that.

I called hubby hoping that he can come home to prepare dinner for our children and take care of them for a little while while I lie down to let the tummy muscle relax and get some rest. Unfortunately, his helper did not come in yet and he is not sure whether she will come in or not.

I can’t get help from my parents coz they are attending a wedding dinner.

What to do? Cry lor and ask God for help. Thank God the crying and praying helps to release the tense and the pain subsided a little bit and I quickly prepare dinner for my children before they starve.

Just when they are enjoying their burgers, hubby came home. His helper came in. Yay! PTL!!!

How to release stress? There are lots of way of releasing stress. Some go to Outer Banks vacation rentals, some go for bungee jumping, some just go for a stress therapy massage, some eat and eat and eat…just do something that will take off your mind of the cause of the stress.

I just realized that I have a stress buster with me 24/7. Here is my stress buster…

My ever smiling cutie pie.

When I need someone to make me smile; his smiles melts my heart and can never make me not smile along with him.
When I need someone to hug; he is so huggable.
When I need someone to cuddle; he is so squishy.
When I need someone to enjoy a makan with; he loves food.
When I need someone to scream, he will scream along with me.

etc…

Life would be sooooo stressful is God did not bless me with this cutie pie.

This photo is taken in Holiday Inn. Their Christmas tree is made of mineral bottles. How creative eh.

I used the birthday present hubby’s gave! If not, you won’t see my hair let down.

Have a Blessed Christmas Everyone!

This year’s birthday present for hubby; a Casio watch. He was hoping for a Spy Watch but this wifey is too practical to buy him a toy! I’m sure it will spoil in no time and then I need to spend extra to buy him another watch.

November and December is a wedding month. Whenever there is a long school break, there will surely be lots of wedding invitations coming our way. Psst…thank God we do not have many friends who are not married. If not, I am sure our bank account will be emptied (coz we do not have much money in there. hehehe). Our wedding invitations come from close relatives only. This year we had 2. We attended the first one 2 weeks ago and another one in 2 weeks time. Not so sure whether I want to go coz it was not easy dining with a fully breastfeed baby!

This is the birthday present that I got from hubby.

I was given an option between an Osim Foot and Calve Massager, a Singer Sewing Machine and a Flat Iron. I chose the later coz it is the cheapest.

Thank You very much Dear.

I GOT BIRTHDAY PRESENT THIS YEAR!!!

I’ll let you know what it is on my birthday. Tak lama, a few more days only.

For the past few days, hubby has helped wash the dishes instead of just leaving them in the sink. He even help to wash whatever I left in the sink after cooking. This I normally do if baby wakes up before I finished washing. I’ll wash them when baby takes his nap after his morning bath.

He even helped to clean our son’s vomit which I left to send my eldest girl to art class yesterday. I am so “allergic” to vomit. I will usually end up vomiting if I have to clean them myself!

I am really thankful that hubby helped me with the chores whenever he is around. I really need it.

Love is selfish.

I told hubby that if I were to die first when we are still young, I do not want him to re-marry. I want him to take care of our children by himself. Maybe he can employ a maid to help him but with his mother or my mom’s supervision. I know that I would never re-marry if he dies first. No one can ever replace his place in my life. And I want him to do the same too. I can’t bear seeing him together with another woman. See, I am selfish. hehehe.

He told me that he does not think he will do a good job raising our children all by himself. He said, “Either I die first or if you die, please die together with our children.” Like the option is mine like that.

After reading the touching story, he said, “That’s why I said you must die with your children.”

I like receiving gift but I don’t like buying gift. It is not that I am stingy but I am sooooooo not good at getting one. I will always end up buying the wrong thing. If the gift is correct, the colour won’t; just like the watch that I bought for hubby a few years ago. If I tell him to choose and I pay, he will refuse it and tell me to keep my money. Anyway, his birthday is coming and I really do not know what he wants besides MORE children! He did mention that he wants a playstation. I can’t remember whether it is PS2 or PS3 or maybe I shall get his the xbox 360?

Dear, what do you want for your birthday? Tell me earlier so that I got time to save.

Love conquers all.

Hubby preached in church last Sunday. Honestly, I have no idea what was his sermon’s title! All I know that he preached about shining to the world, good Christian role model, be a good Christian role model and about the book Emotional Purity. He even brought a lollipop and licked it in front of the congregation! Go read the book and you will know what I am talking about.

A few hours before the preaching started, that was around 6am, I woke up from my nightmare and went to look for hubby to tell him about the nightmare and to be comforted by him.

It so happened that the dream coincide which his preaching topic and he shared it with the congregation! How embarrassing!!! Not only that, he went further and shared some personal stuff. The moment he said “Lastly…” I let go a long sigh of relief!

How I wish I was an Ostrich and I can stuff my head in a hole.

This is beautiful…just received it from my SIL via email (fwd email! hahaha)

It was a busy morning, about 8:30, when an elderly gentleman in his 80s arrived to have stitches removed from his thumb. He said he was in a hurry as he had an appointment at 9:00.

I took his vital signs and had him take a seat, knowing it would be over in an hour before someone would be able to see him. I saw him looking at his watch and decided since I was not busy with another patient, I would evaluate his wound.
On examining it I saw it was well healed, so I talked to one of the doctors and got the needed supplies to remove his sutures and redress his wound.

While taking care of his wound, I asked him if he had another doctor’s appointment this morning, as he was in such a hurry. The gentleman told me no, that he needed to go to the nursing home to eat breakfast with his wife. I inquired as to her health. He told me that she had been there for a while! As she is a victim of Alzheimer’s disease.

As we talked, I asked if she would be upset if he was a bit late. He replied that she no longer knew who he was, that she had not recognized him in five years now.

I was surprised and asked him, ‘And you still go every morning, even though she doesn’t know who you are?’ He smiled as he patted my hand and said, ‘She doesn’t know me but I still know who she is.’

I had to hold back tears as he left, I had goose bumps on my arm and thought, ‘That is the kind of love I want in my life. True love is neither physical nor romantic’.

True love is an acceptance of all that is, has been, will be, and will not be.
