It's the new year...

It's a brand new year but somehow I'm not very excited. But nevertheless, I do hope the new year will be a much better one than last as somehow last year was not a good year for me. Oh well, making resolutions is not really my style but I do resolve to lose weight becoz I'm going to take my wedding picture in Jun this year after our HK trip.

It's almost the end of the year....

Ok, I've been very lazy as I've not been updating for a loooooooooooooong time. It's December, nearly end of the year and Yes, I have crossed the 30s threshold and it's not that scary as I though it was. But one thing I can't deny is that once a woman hits her 30s, time really flies. Well, I have to agree. One minute, I was in my 20s, enjoying life, having a baby and the next, I'm in my 30s and my kid is all grown up. Well, she has not grown to be a teenager yet, but soon, she will become one. Lil princess have just celebrated her 5th birthday and she enjoyed herself a lot. But the sad part was that it's the last year she will be with her friends becoz the school will be closed down due to the lease not being renewed. It's quite sad when you have to go your separate ways after being in the same class for so long. She is quite emotional when it comes to goodbyes so I'm not so sure how she will handle it.

Times flies....

I have realised that I have not been blogging or updating my photos for the past 2 months and it's almost end of July. Yikes!!!!

But now there is a slight problem. I was trying to download the photos from my camera to my portable hard disk but somewhere along the line, something went wrong and yes, the photos are gone!!! ALL GONE!!!! That night, I went into panic mode. Can't even retrive it. Called my brother and he said he will help me to fix it. But when??? Sigh....it looks like I have to wait for him to be free or wait for my friend to come back and see if he can help me. This is what happens when a dinosaur tries to become IT savvy but failed.

So at the moment, the photos are only available on my facebook account and the link as follows:-

Oh well, lucky I have uploaded to facebook first before this happens but there were some photos which I didnt get a chance to upload. That was the one which Ashley was trying to be a hip-hop gal. Those pictures were really priceless but I don't think I will be able to get them back.

Oh, what happen during May and June was really stressful...there were good moments and bad. So here goes:

May and June was so full of activities. Celebrated Mom's birthday at Irodori Restaurant, with a gorgeous durian cake from Goodwood park, then dinner with my friend, Doreen at the same restaurant and Thai food at Golden Mile Complex, had a wonderful dinner at Himawari. The sashimi is really superb there. And to end things off, celebrated Hubby's birthday at Marche. But the sad thing is I fought with my husband over something that nearly broke up our marriage.

About that last sentence, it is an on-going thing for 5 years. The main difference between me and my hubby is both of us have a different outlook on life. Be it religion, finances, movies, food, etc, etc. We can never agree to disagree and I guess this time round, it kinda woke him up on what happen. Let's just say a blast from my past came back into my life and he was kinda upset over it. I told him that he is just a friend but, men being men, he thought otherwise. So we had a big disagreement and unfortuantely, it brought out the worst in us and also got me thinking on one thing: Do I really want to stay married to him? I asked my friends and they advised me and him to go for marriage counselling because the little princess's future is at stake. If we were to really seperate, she will be badly affected. I guess I was really giving it a lot of thought but somehow, I was being very selfish for a period of time. I thought that by acting childishly, he will just back off and leave me alone to my own devices. Too bad, it didn't work. So now, we are slowly rebuilding the marriage but somehow things are very different between the both of us now.

Happy Labour Day

Well, it's a long weekend for me as I'm off on sat. So now, I'm at home watching Quantum of Solace. Housework is all done expect for the clothes. Oh well, I will probably do it later.

So many things have happen the past month...not sure where to start...but i guess pictures will be able tell the story better. So up next, lots and lots of picture. Stay tuned!

Joke of the Day

Me: Alamak! I fogot to bring my makeup remover. Haizz, need to go down and buy baby oil. Mom, u got baby oil?
Mom: Don't have.
Hubby: What for need baby oil? Use cooking oil lah....it's also the same mah..
Me: Idiot!!!

And my mom burst out laughing very loudly. What a way to end my evening!!

Made up my mind.....

I have made up my mind. About what? Well, initially, I wanted to have another kid this year, but after an argument with my mom last Friday, I think it just kinda sealed my decision. This year would probably be the last year that I can enjoy myself and spend more time with Ashley because from next year onwards, I guess I will probably be expecting a baby. At first, the plan was to have another kid this year, give birth next year, put the baby in infantcare for a few months before I officially "retire" and take a new job - SAHM. But after that argument with my mom and talking with my best friend, I realise that nothing is more satisfying than looking after your own child by yourself. My mind being made up, I told hubby about it. At first, he was a bit hesitant but after I told him the reasons, he supported my decision wholeheartedly.

It's really not easy being a working mom but the things that I have missed out when Ashley was growing up in infantcare really pains my heart....I missed her first step, her first words, most of her first but I have to say that she have grown up to be a confident, boisterous child. Yes, she is very independent but somehow I feel so guilty for putting her in the childcare for the 1st 6 years of her life. So now that I'm really planning for a 2nd one, I guess career can take a backseat first as my children is the main priority in my life now. Hopefully, when they look back at their growing years, they can proudly say that they have a wonderful childhood as I was with them during their growing up years....

On my way to losing weight.....

Yesterday, I tortured myself at the gym. Yup, you didn't read wrongly. Me, exercise, gym after god knows how many years since I gave birth. Why the need you may ask? Well, it's because of health sake. And also I'm hoping to have another kid, but in order for me to do that, I got to lose those stubborn post-preggie fats. And also, I have yet to take my wedding pictures wz hubby. So I was hoping that this would be a good motivation for me to shed those excess weight and look good in photos. Everyone knows that a camera adds 10 pounds to your face/body/frame. But you know what was the best thing? Hubby said, why not I give birth first then lose the weight then we go and take pictures. WT??!!!! We have postponed this for 5 years already and now he wants to postpone it further? Then both of us would be in our 50s when we decided to take the photos...LOL

Anyway, I'm not letting this get in my way. So now, I'm not targetting at the time frame but more of how much I can lose. And judging from the workout me and M are doing, I think I can safely say we will be able to hit our target soon...that is IF I don't go and pig out on weekends, as it will defeat the whole purpose...=)

So wish me luck!!!
