Last day of Y2008

Tonight MUST blog about my new year resolution.. been delayibg it.. wonder why December seems soososos lazy and idle to me.. nothing seems to raise my mood.. OMG..

Yesterday night, when i (complaining in blog about how no surprises from LGG and been ignoring his sms and wishes and all the whole day..) surprised me by putting a pink care bears with lots of hearts in my bed.. ohh.. so complaining in blog does help huh !.. heee

but then, this made me feel guilty as im thinking why should i complain abt things so much that make LGG feel difficult ? im the one who said do not want to celebrate what.. well woman's hormones sometimes just hard to explain why to everything. we just hope things go out way. our wish granted .. without having to say anything upfront ?

Just a small little gesture by LGG - my little care bears- keep me happy the whole night till now.. heeee

Muak. Love you too LGG.

2nd Wedding anniversary

Second year already. no celebration though. cos really don't feel like going out on weekday evening, want to play with missy.

Sometimes, i do anticipate some surprises.. but LGG is not someone who will give surprises. so, i learnt to not anticipate anything on anniversaries..sad huh ! but that's fact of life that i have to live on lor..married life is getting boring even on just the second year.

Lucky thing i have my little girl to cheer up my life !

Happy wedding anniversary to myself.. which i simply cant think of anything to feel happy about today. ? just another normal working day !

End of Y2008

coming to end of Y2008 already. this year has been an eventful year for me as a new mother. But, i go through each stage of my girl's growing up with anticipation, open-heart and observing.

My greatest achievement in my life so far is to have my girl. what else can i ask for ? It's about time to think of what's there for me next year. With all the mess from economy turmoil.. really dampen my mood on many things/plans.. but somehow, like my col said, our life has no significant changes yet.. so enjoy what we have now! he is right ! what's the point of worrying what's going to happen next year ? i mean few more days later..haaa

Let's flashed back what have i done for the past few weeks after i came back from my long sabatica trip home and to Mt Kinabalu trip.

I've been idling mostly.. with xmas and the year end mood.. really dont feel like doing much things except be with my girl and spent my time lying down to rest.. i feel like a pig already..

I've been going to gym for my weekly run for months now.. missed it last week partly due to bad weather.. i intend to go swimmming, but when i reach the swimming pool, it rained.. so i turned back, then i go on leave the day after until today.. so, no work out lor..

I've baked a walnut banana cake, recipe from my neighbour. yum yum.. i like it. i will bake one bigger one this week for my friend's housewarming.

Shall think of my Y2009 New year resolution soon.

Today boss is not in, he went holidays in bangkok. freeze period until jan. so we all really feel nothing much to do except for those misc stuff..that's why i can blog now.. heee..

two good news:
Evelyn due in Dec - i think gave birth already by now. baby boy.
Ngee Koon - due in Jan 09. baby girl

wonder who else in the list from my high school friends.

Home Sweet Home ..

Some photos taken during our trip back to missy's maternal grandma's home. she is just very busy every moment.. disturbing her po po's flowers.. climb here and there.. dig this and that..


It's a great place for missy to be near to nature than just concrete in spore.. more fresh air.. but hotter.. she gets a bit of tan from home..

Mt.Kinabalu Trip

We are back from my 2 weeks holidays.. my little one's 1 month's holidays.. heee..

Havent got much rest since we were back yesterday. as we have been away for some time there are so many things to unpack and all..

Today back to work, been busy since morning.. so much emails to clear and things to attend to.. sigh.. so really havent got much time to rest till now..

lazy to write to much.. just share some photos as memories..got to find time to develop these photos too..

about time for my next BIG project.. hee.. wish me luck.. hopefully by next month i have good news :)

missy really enjoy herself back home, our neighbour said she is "samseng girl" as she never stops walking/touching/digging.. so friendly and not afraid of strangers.. the boy who is 3 months older than he is so much quieter than she is.. sigh.. i really feel like im having a boy than a girl..*tomboy*
