My Leave

I am off until Wednesday. I visited Carol who gave birth to Chris Abner last Monday. I just love the smell of babies - don't you all?. I know 'making baby' were supposed to be my agenda for year 2008 but I guess God just said wait so who am I to rebel; at least I have a pair. See how peaceful he look......

Anyway it was suppose to be a light and easy day for the four of us. The children are having Easter Monday off and the parents happened to be on leave.




We went to Roki to extract Ezra bad teeth. I was afraid for him but he proved himself... and I am so proud of him. I managed to take a photo before Roki attended to him and the rest were history but a word of advise to 'young' mother - feed your kid before going to dentist becoz he was hungry but couldn't eat - my mistake. I just hope my dad don't find out about this.

Tomorrow we are planning to do our passport. When I look at my passport photo I am just 'heran' how I aged and 'grown'. My hubby even commented that he married the girl in the photo!!! iskh.... iskh.... iskh.... I wanted to share the photo but thank god I don't have a scanner at the moment. Seriously... I gained so much weight over the last 10 years even the doctors said that I am the perfect candidate for a heart attack, diabetic, high blood pressure...... I bought my jogging shoes a couple of months ago and only used it once. I am not putting any blames on anybody but myself.

On lighter days at the office, if we managed to finish work early, Fiona and I will always make it a point to brisk-walk.... to Coffee Bean.


I just love the Oreo Cheese Cake... yummy..yummy (no wonder......). This is just to let Cat know what we have been up to. No wonder I seems to have difficulties in shedding those kilos..

Why oh...why.....

Today is Good Friday. What is so good about it? The world is so much full of suffering - sometimes it make you wonder whether life is worth living. It is more intense when the suffering involve people around us; who are dear to us; our family. You are more protective of these criteria of people because they are simply the people we love and we do anything for them, shield them from things that might hurt them and would even die for them without even asking anything in return. It's the purest love of all. Sometimes when I look at my children I marvel, the words they spoken, the actions they made and the laughter.... It made my labour-pain worthwhile. Where am I going you may ask? That's the story of Good Friday.




Jesus' Crucifixion - A Violent Portrayal (from the Passion of the Christ) of the Easter Story

Palm Sunday

Before you know it, it's Monday, again. But thankfully enough I managed to do some of the things that I was suppose to do ages ago, thanks to Anddy and Ivy. We went places on Saturday in anticipation of David's wedding - I am the wedding planner, remember. Actually I didn't do much coz most of the items has been taking care by S'nah so I tagged along lah. I guess now is the best time to distribute the invitation cards.

Suddenly I feel that I have too much projects in my hands - I am not complaining but I feel I am abandoning my house......my home sweet home.... I am suppose to prioritise... Suddenly things and appliances in the house need my attention. My washing machine died on me many moons ago. I made arrangement for repair but it seemed like the handy man 'malas' to show up - now I have to to do my laundry at mom's and I think mom is also wondering why I inflicted myself with this kind of suffering...... Then suddenly my lights in the living room failed me too and I have a spider in my bathroom which hubby killed last night. Thank God for my father in law who managed to mow the lawn or else you would not be able to see my house.

It's Palm Sunday today and I was in church with my family. Normally you would not be seeing me around church on big days like this. I just feel sometimes people are just hypocrites and I don't wish to elaborate coz it might backfire. It was the children who got me excited because they themselves were already looking forward to waking up early ( as early as 6am) to join daddy in the Palm Sunday Mass.

And as usual, one should see beyond the reason for the season. It's not the church nor it's congregation. It's even bigger than the crossed palm that we received. So friends.... prepare yourself.....

Earth Hour

So... How was your 1 hour of darkness?

It was an event that I and my whole family were looking forward too. We planned it a few days before and told the children in anticipation to joined in the fun. We planned of candle lights, of BBQ and of watching the Akademi Fantasia - sure, I follow that; if I could.

My Saturday started with laundry. Ezra was having his replacement class so Beth and I had a girl's day. Anddy picked us up by 1.30pm and we went over to mom's. By then Ezra was already back from school and together with Abet we were off the St. Mary's to try to make full use of the RM40 fair tickets that mom simply had and forgotten to use. And of coz it was too late ......

I was at the Daily Choice Food (Tabuan Jaya) pay line when this woman 'potong' queue. The thing that upset me the most was not becoz the cashier didn't ignore her but bcoz although the woman knew of my present, she 'ignored' me. And of coz I don't look like Tai-Tai but even so everybody requires respect no matter what and how you look like. To that woman I would like to say that you are rude and I hope your children will have that kind of treatment from other people becoz I always believe what goes 'round comes 'round. I have said my peace........

I enjoyed the food that nite though; BBQ - chicken marinated with black pepper, salad, BBQ sweet potatoes and sambal buah belimbing...... Then everybody wait in anticipation for 8.30pm.

I do hope everybody enjoyed their dark hour like I did and it was for a good cause too. Hope we can do it again and the knowledge my children gained from it was priceless.

I just got back from pampering myself; 2 hours of doing my monthly facial. Sometimes I feel it's such a drag but hey, I am entitle to the pampering too. It just too bad I didn't have the time to do the body massage...

The Saturday is here again and I am just waiting for my Anddy to come and the two of us will have some 'property hunting'. A moment ago Snah SMS and this evening we will run through the wedding's programs. Did I mentioned about their photography's sessions (yeah yours truly took leave just to witness it).

It was interesting, fun and enjoyable day - for me too.

The photos were fantastic....

but sad to say they can only choose limited (to their horror). I would like to advise any couple who is getting married and wanting to do your photo shoots - It all sound sweet when the sales man selling something; the most important thing is to know what you want out of it, read between the line. And when you feel sad that you cannot choose the ones that you like, just remember in 10 years time all these photos will be tucked in your drawers and it will just only be a photo albums. Hey... at least you took some, right. So don't worry enjoy your life together not your photographs together.

I got to go. Anddy was here and I need to pick up my hubby.

Until later.

Emmm what else?
