the richest chinese zodiac

Stumbled upon this interesting article on What are the richest chinese zodiac birth years?

when I complete reading & start relating ... 

I realised we have 1 ox and 1 rabbit and 2 roosters

and I especially like the last sentence in the passage ... lol 

treats from colleagues

 Fruits salad, bo bo cha cha and fried meehoon with XO sauce from my colleagues. TQVM!
whereas I only have egg sandwiches to offer (which I dare not even post) .
But as one of my colleague put it : one thing Su can offer is 'DBKL' service where no food goes to waste. 
It made me feel better though...

splurging again

I lied. I said I was not going to buy anymore clothes this year.
The year has not ended but I've bought 5 new ones at one go (yes, you read right 5 at one go).
And I stupidly paid about RM116 so willingly..
This has got to be my most impulsive purchase so far this year. 
My weakness is when they are on 70% and 80% row.
I bought it while ah dear was overseas .. 
didn't want to let him know initially but I ended up telling him that
'I've spent money again buying clothes' which according to him I seldom wear.

Really this time, no more buying clothes till a year later.
This time it's going to take whatever I have to stop myself.

for the past few weeks

Note : boring stuffs ahead, skip if you don't want to be bored.

• had 2 session of ironing marathon ... had got used to iron with a few strokes only =p
• was lucky winning myself 8 bottles of Kinohitmisu Japan UV-bright - grape seed extract drinks (from those magazines coupons I sent)
• my home is flooded in the kitchen, luckily we came back on time, else we'll have waterfall at living hall area.
• my breastpump is not functioning well and I have to resort to manual pump. Having a bigger 'tikus' now. 
• made a donation to an orphanage (as birthday present for my little boy). He gave his consent although I'm not too sure whether he understands ... hopefully he does.
• attended a close friend's Raya open house and admire her new home.
• join a pre-wedding dinner of a close friend. I remember we were there like 2 - 3 years ago and mention that the place is nice for hosting wedding / pre-wedding dinner.
• made my biggest sales so far, a corporate baby gift hamper. thank you very much. hoping more to come.
• 1st time having part time maid cleaning our home, she's so skinny and fragile that I was afraid her bones will break if I ask her do heavy stuff. My heart felt heavy when I saw the food in her bag. A pack of mamee, 1 roti krim and 1 roti bun for all the hard work she's doing? and she doesn't want to take a break even when I ask her to. Life is not easy for everyone so I learn not to complain.
• having some hard time @ work ... but I make it a point not to let if affect me. After all, it's just a channel of earning money for living. 
• wanted very badly to sew comfortable patch blankets for my children but have to wait for enough money to get sewing machine. It's too big a project to be handsewn.
• happy that I was able to discipline myself to curb spending.
• didn't manage to finish a book but intensified my effort for learning chinese. I really desperate leh..

life's simple pleasure

I love to let my children play with toys that are non-toy. 
(And also get scolding from their papa for letting them play with non-toy that are considered hazardous items)
By doing so, hopefully I'm able to teach them to appreciate simple things in life. To be able to make lemonade from lemons. To be able to create something out of nothing ...

So those previous weekends (when I no need to work like this coming Saturday) I'll let them experience real fun @@! 
(although I suspect it's more I'm the one having most fun...lol)

I tried putting them into bath basin and drag them around like boat (minus the water) which my little one enjoy very much and will start shaking the boat if I stop to rest. She likes it the most when the boat makes a 360` turn. 
And when I've burnt off enough calorie, I will just throw some treasure into the boat, she'll have some good time provided I remain in sight. That's how I get stuff done in the kitchen nowadays.

Sometimes, when things get out of control, I detain her in the laundry basket and surround her with all the dirty clothes and bedsheets. She'll have to figure out how to release herself from the cocoon...haha (sounded a little cruel ho?)
Now, she released that the laundry basket couldn't support her weight anymore when she stand up and tilt to a side (and mama wouldn't let her fall) so she got her easy way out dy ..lol
Perhaps it's time to make it more challenging =p

巫啟賢-愛那麼重

at that time, he does have a few songs that I like very much. This is one of them. 
Listening to them always bring back flashback of my childhood... my life back then..
something that I grew up with ... something that made me who I am today...
