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.
Our family is growing, our children are growing. It is high time that we start setting aside a sum of cash every month to be deposited into our savings account rather than wait till we have extra then only we save.
When I was working, I did the savings for our family but when I resigned, hubby did not continue this good habit because we barely have enough every month. In the end most of my savings went into his business and also our monthly expenses.
Now that God has blessed us with enough, we should start saving again for our children education. Since we will be homeschooling, chances to obtain a scholarship is very slim. So, we must work hard and start saving now. We must postpone buying electronic cigarette for my dad for his birthday this year. 
We will advice him to stop smoking instead so that he can live longer on this earth. 
Sunday is the only day that we get to be together as a family the whole day. Sunday is the only day that we can have lunch and dinner with hubby. Sunday is the only day that our children can have their daddy.
Sunday is also church day and the only day that hubby can fellowship with other church members. On other days, hubby will be at work from morning till night. He will have his tapau-ed food from home for lunch and dinner.
I don’t mind if the church takes away my hubby once or twice a month on Sunday but not 2 weeks in a row and for lunch and dinner on the same day. You want him but we NEED him.
I guess the choice is hubby’s. He got to be wise in choosing between his family and church.
I tell you why this wife cannot work at her husband’s shop.
Firstly, she will help herself with the drinks from the chiller. That’s RM1.60 - RM2.50. If she brings her kid along, doubled or tripled that amount.
When she gets bored because Farmville cannot load, she will take a packet of peanut to chew. That’s RM1.30.
She mistakenly open the wrong PC and some smart boy played at the PC discreetly without paying. That’s RM1.00 to RM2.00.
Sometimes, she photostates wrongly. That will be about RM0.10 - RM1.00.
She got bored again. She orders Maggi Goreng from the Mamak shop next door. That’s RM3.00.
If she brings her eldest daughter along that will be another RM2.00 - RM6.00 of computer usage depending how long she has to work at the shop.
So, let’s total the above.
For 3 hours of working at her husband’s shop, she spent RM15.80.
Ok lar kan? Coz he is paying his part-time staff RM4 per hour. Wife must pay more lar right. 
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.
Panau is called Pityriasis Versicolor in English. Something to do with overgrowth of yeast fungus and it is very infectious. It becomes worst when one who has it sweats or eat too much vinegar.
I got a lot of them now coz hubby has it which he got from his dad! I tried a few types of Panau ointment by they did not work. 
So far, there is no one medication that works like magic; a few times apply, they will be gone forever.
I wonder whether those eczema cure medication can work for Panau?
We know the importance of knowledge and education but not all of us like to study. One of them is my dear husband. He is very smart but schooling and exams are nightmares to him. If he ever wants to take up another degree in business, I must warn him that he has to take the GMAT exam to see whether he can survive the the rigorous courses of a graduate management or business program. Well, there is always the gmat prep courses that can help him pass the exam with flying colours but I’m not sure whether he wants to go through another nightmare. 
To some this is not a big thing but to me, it is a VERY BIG THING.
I lost count of how many times we go out for breakfast together. Not because it is too many times but because I can’t remember when was the last time we do that. I think it was my birthday 2 years ago; we went to eat Dim Sum!
We hardly go out for breakfast together because hubby is not a morning person. It is so difficult to find him awake earlier that 9am unless he wants to cycle to work.
Anyway, on Monday it was raining and hubby woke up before 9am. I was so happy coz I was thinking how nice it would me to eat hot, crispy roti canai and a hot cup of Horlicks/Milo on a cold rainy morning. I can’t remember when was the last time I ate hot, crispy roti canai too.
All our children were still asleep and I verbalised my thought and hubby agreed coz he can’t go online too coz it was raining. hehehehe. Off we went to a nearby warung to enjoy hot, crispy roti canai with a cup of hot Horlicks. 
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.
I get very irritated when one of hubby’s part-time staff wife kept telling me to increase her husband’s salary. As though hubby’s business is earning so much profit. Maybe what he saw in the daily sales worksheet shows that profit is high but those are gross profit. I think, her husband’s take home salary every month is more that hubby’s. I am sure they have savings and can afford to buy gold coins unlike us, no savings at all. I kid you not!
Ever since I lost weight until I am underweight, I am popping more supplements to boost up my health and energy. To me, it is ok to be underweight as long you are fit and healthy.
I am not very particular about the supplements that I take whether it is cheap vitamins or those expensive ones. As long as it works, I am game for it.
So far, so good. I did not loose weight further. My weight increased back to 45kg. I think I like to maintain at 45kg.
This month, we really need financial blessing from above. Actually not only this month but even month. God has been blessing us financially every month but this month, the sales are very low and the expenses are high. We only have 1k left to pay up our business loan but that has to be postponed until we have the extras.
I am holding back myself from asking hubby to bring us to dine at fast food outlet coz it is expensive. I think I am craving for pizza! It has been in my mind for a few days already but RM50 will fly just like that for 2 regular pizzas and RM50 can give us 3 days meal if I cook at home. Maybe I can find some side income at carinsurancelist.com. Imagine me, becoming an insurance agent! Sure no sales one.
Child minding 6 children does have its side effects. I think I am developing more wrinkles and high blood pressure. It is easy to mind my own children because I have disciplined them since young to be obedient. I also thank God for blessing me with such obedient children. Prayer really works. Unfortunately, my nieces are the ones that makes my blood boils every day when they are here. Their parents did not discipline them at all and let them have their way. Reason given by my brother, “They are young, they don’t know what they are doing. They will behave when they grow older.” It will be too late to mold them when they grow older!
So, while they are here, I try to discipline them my way but I think I really need one wrinkle reducer right now. Very stressful you know. If you want to sponsor one for me, I will take the prototype 37c. It has the perfect blend of powerful anti-aging ingredients to help your skin repair, rejuvenate, and protect your skin.
For the past few days, I have develop sensitive nose. I am very sensitive to dust but now, I am very sensitive to smell.
Normally, I won’t gag smelling my baby soiled diapers but now even the soiled diapers is a meter away, I felt like gagging already. And my nose is very sensitive to strong body odour too. I really don’t look forward to my MIL’s maid coming back here! My nose can even tell know whether my girls wash their private part or not without needing to go close to it to sniff!
This is not the side effect of human growth hormone. But another type of hormones is being produced in my body.
A lot of mommy bloggers have started a webstore to sell clothings and children accessories. I was tempted to start one too and even found a supplier of children clothing. Hubby encourages me to do that too and help him sell the car accessories and maybe some industrial products. I would love to help him earn more money for the family but I just do not have the time to spend long hours on the computers like before. Now, I am only allowed (by my children) 15-30 minutes of computer time at one time in which it is not sufficient if I want to run a webstore. Unless I have a helper which I don’t have any at this moment.
I am going to be 36 years old by end of this year but due to the challenges in life, I think I am growing older faster that the rest who are of the same age as I.
I am short sighted and has been wearing glasses since I was 14 years old. 20 years later, I have long sighted! I discovered it when I was taking my meals. I was wondering why is my rice looks blurry. Then I took my bible and tried reading it. I find it hard to read the tiny prints.
*sigh* I guess it is also mainly due to too much time spent facing the computer screen. Time to consider getting a magnifying glass? hahaha or maybe I’ll just buy the discount prescription glasses over the counter.
I was surprised when hubby told me that he will be preaching again on Sunday. He told me that only only managed to preach 2 points and there is another 2 points to go but time did not allow him to do so. Tu lar…speak slow-mo.
This is the first time I came across a preacher that needs to continue his sermon the next Sunday. Those who preaches in series got lar.
Dear, dear, next time speak faster ok? Don’t be so long-winded.
That was hubby’s sermon last Sunday. For the first time, he preaches in Malay in church. He preached in Malay before but that was during mission trips to the Orang Asli and the Sarawakians.
How I wish I can share what his sermon was all about. As always, I am stuck in the Mother’s room trying very hard to listen to the sermon while other mothers chit-chat, their children busy playing and preventing my own baby from escaping the Mother’s room.
After 9 years of marriage, I am thinner and he is fatter.
Nothing special on this 9th wedding anniversary. I left our children home around 7.15pm with maid and MIL and head to hubby’s shop with my Canon camera. Must captured our special day mah. We then left to the new Jusco for dinner and jalan-jalan. Hubby wanted to eat something that we often eat when we were younger. So we ended up at Kenny Roger’s. Being the only customer there, we were served with super shrink chicken (spring chicken?), over steamed corn and dunno how many times reheated baked bean. If I did not come with hubby, I think I will just walk out from the restaurant.
After dinner, we had a cup of yogurt ice-cream each at Kaizer. Yum! Then we just hold hands and window shop. By 9.30pm, we left Jusco then I headed home to our children who misses me a lot, especially my baby who refuses to sleep without me. Hubby came home shortly after that.
I breastfed Baby to sleep and I slept till the next morning.
The end.
