desperate measures

In my attempt to save, I've resorted to trying to win some 'whatever' using investment of 60 cents. Wish me luck.

This year, I'll be on a near deficit budget, so if I'm very 'kedekut' with my money, please bear with me.

Hari ini dalam sejarah

Remember my post sometime back about 90 is the new 60?

Well, today is when history changes.
90 is indeed the new 60 now (or rather when the clock struck 12 yesterday night)

Life is indeed full of suprises ...
Life can indeed be very good to us ...
As long as we never give up hope on life ...

I'm writing these post with very much gratitude and gratefulness to anyone (just anyone) that has made this happened.

perpetually '乱'

It's time of the year again to indulge in some 'cleaning' exercise..
How come I've a feeling that my home is a perpetually '乱' place.
It really doesn't help that I keep accumulating things.
the worse, I can't decide where to put those things that I just leave them wherever easy to be found.

perhaps I seriously need to look at my this bad habit and make some changes.
like someone told me :
"last time your room is already so '乱' mana tau after married the home lagi '乱' ..."
hahaha ... somethings just don't change overnight, do they? perticularly bad habits

B.A.B.E trip - Baby's Adventure Baby's Exploration trip

Adventure begins as soon as he's being 'released' from baby chair @ McD. Ah bi started pushing the chair around.

there...ah bi trying to climb the slide the other way round.

Off course he tried and fell / slide down numerous times before he figured a way to climb up by holding on the side railing.

This bad mama didn't even give a helping hand, just stand & watch & take photos =p

The other parents were even more worried than I am.

I prefer it this way ... let the baby figure out what he wants to do & how he do it.

Next stop...MPH bookstore

Besides exploring the books, he also studied the different type of flooring MPH has.

He loves cookery books .... he keep taking out each book and say 'mam mam' before sliding it back to place.

pic 3 : looking @ flowers and ask mama to carry when he's not tall enough to reach the bear in pic 4. He gave the bear a hug and took him for a 50 metres tour together before putting it back.

I had to stopped him only when he kept squatting and touch the testure of the floor and risking other kids stepping / stumbling on him. Otherwise I let him roam freely (with supervision la).

pic 1 : hugging winnie the pooh that was on the floor

pic 2 : attracted by colourful balls and kept saying 'ball ball' ... whatever that we give him to distract him doesn't work. Even when papa use the hand to beat his buttock also he don't care ...lol

pic 3 : trying to help another winnie the pooh that was trapped.

pic 4 : he's obsessed with balls I think, no matter where we brought him, he kept bringing us back to the balls section.

pic 1 & 2 : before entering TOYS R'US, there was a play castle outside which he didn't get to enter because there's a princess in there who 'halau' him. So when papa saw this house in here, lead ah bi. He went in, open & close all the door & window and adjusted the time.

pic 3 : Saw a white dog (which looked like wishbone to him) and start saying 'app'. This is what he always say when wishbone try to lick his little toes.

pic 1 : figuring how to move the little car ... those cars are chained together, so basically need to pull 3 cars move together.

pic 2 : finally he figured out he can use his legs to pull the cars forward.

pic 3 : finally got tired of dragging so many cars along that he switched to a single 'mini cooper' in pic 4.

Am not sure whether he's amazed by the fishes or the writing on the aquarium or both...

after walking & exploring for a few hour, ah bi finally asked for 'nen nen' and fall asleep snoring.

Mama's hand also 'kebas' already and in attempt to kill boredom start taking pictures of the ceiling. BTW, Ikano really have good baby care facilities.

This is after he woke up and we having lunch, he's looking @ Doraemon on his clothes.

I spent my new year with '3 idiots'

One of the best thing I did this 2011 new year was spending my time with '3 idiots'.
They made me laugh and they made me cry but I still loves them.
A very meaningful way to start my new year ... also thanks to ah dear for on'ing else I wouldn't choose '3 idiots' to spend my new year with.
Also thanks to a friend who introduced me to '3 idiots'.

new folder 2011

I created a new folder in my PC - to store more happy photos and memories for 2011.

and while I was housekeeping 2010 folders, I found some of these (mostly from the last Quarter of 2010)....some material things that made me happy even until now... haha (I've always been this materialistic, couldn't get rid of old habits)



free backpack for cod liver oil (400ML bottle) ... although only managed to get one design, penguin & tiger out of stock due to I got to know about this promotion too late. Nevertheless very worth it, RM9.80 for cod liver oil (considered very cheap) and children back pack good quality.







free planner that comes with Marie Claire magazine ... must admit I bought the RM7 magazine because of the free gift... stupid ho.










Suprise gift from PIDM - leather lookalike diary, calendar & pen. Darn lucky because I was asked to go because the person supposed to go was on MC. Not sure if I'm supposed to give it to the person but I just kept it. Moreover, I'm taking over this function so ....







A whole year free supply of baby shampoo, baby bath, baby cologne .... thank you CY!












Stumbled upon this 130 pieces puzzle @ Daiso (RM5 shop). Love the picture. Very lucky of me to always 'meet' the things that I like.








Stumbled upon this event while surfing and since I was on holiday, decided to pay a visit. Never regret doing so because I found the greatest deal ever ... children books @ 90% discount from MPH booth.





Children big puzzle - RM1.50 each set after discount. Original price RM15.00 - I bought all different sets. They come with slightly kemek boxes but in my attempt to lug everything home, I've discarded the boxes upon making payment...another sign of kiasu'ness.




All books here less than RM2.00 each (even for thick cover books) except 3 top left books with magnetic pages @ RM3.00 each. Some were just a 50 cents (original price RM5.00)





Again, all less than RM2.00 except for 1 adult book which is RM5.00. Most books are in acceptable conditions but some are as good as new. Didn't mind the 'digging' as books were not categorised. Total bill was less than RM50. Very happy because children book are not cheap especially those hardcover ones and here I've got many many books for the price of maybe 2 to 3 books.


special because papa tried many many ways and at last successfully got this bunch of balloons from the ceiling of a restaurant where we attended dinner.






RM2.00 for each pair.
3 colours of the same design ... can't get rid of old habits though.






One of the best book sales I've ever attended. Looking forward to this year's. Go together, anyone?










Some very comfortable 1 piece suite all the way from Europe for ah bi ... thanks to 'ku jie'.
The same pack I saw from Marks & Spencer here in Malaysia is so much more expensive. RM99 vs. RM40 (8 pounds). Crazy eh?






Hope more is coming for 2011 ...
I figured a way to be happier in 2011 ... to lower my expectations.
