Will you marry me

My sis was admiring the hall decoration at my bro's wedding. Then she told Cheng that the decoration would be taken down very soon after the dinner. Perplexed, Cheng asked her why. After my sis explained, Cheng related the wedding to himself and said my sis' and his name would be on the wall if he married her one day. My sis found it funny and shared it with her boyfriend.

Then the conversation went on.
Sis: You can't marry me. Weelium koko will marry me.
Cheng: Oh. It's ok then. I will marry daddy and mummy.
Sis: You can't marry them too. Daddy weds mummy. That's why they have you.
Cheng: Sigh. I marry mm then.

Sometimes, when I can keep my cool, Cheng is very easy to deal with. He has a big heart for everyone but also very cheeky one.

My bro's wedding

Apart from child births, the biggest event my family has this year is the wedding of my bro. So there it was yesterday, everything went on well despite some glitches and finally it's over. We had a lot of fun meeting friends and relatives who came to celebrate the joyous occasion with us! We just can't thank them enough for helping us make the whole ceremony run smoothly. And of course the unsung heroes in the family, my parents' son-in-laws and future son inlaw, who were so tired after the dinner. Not only there, my kids were tired too. But I love it because XY slept thru the night! The only regret is that food arrangement by the hotel where the serving time could be improved!

Key to happiness

Last weekend was a joyous event of my family because big sis has got married!! All of us went down south to be part of her celebration. The place is an eye opener for us because I would never have the kind of chance to go up there. But the sun was scorching hot, so I stayed indoor most of the times.

My sons broke the records of going to the swimming pool three times in a day. If that's still not enough, until today they are still in the euphoria of playing in the pool. I still caught Cheng admiring his swimming trunk and asked me to take him to the pool. Thanks to my bro and sis who helped look after the kids while I could totally sign off from being a mum. My sons wont want hubby and me when the uncles and aunties are around. Then I should have got myself relaxed, sitting in a massage chair, enjoying the sessions. But I'd got an itchy butt, so I hopped onto a hoverboard and knocked my toes into the wall. Everything became a history now because the big toes bled, I was and still am too much in pain.

To my sis who just got married, I wish her nothing but the best of all. We have a close gap of 2 years, so I grew up and shared the ups and downs with her so much that I think she influenced me a lot and was my confidence booster most of the times. My wish for her, and my loved ones are always simple: love and be loved, then comes the happiness.

Hubby mentioned that how time flies that my family members have finally 该嫁的嫁, 该娶的娶 within these 2 years. For this coming CNY, there are only a few of them having reunion dinner together with my parents. Probably next year onwards, we should consider celebrating CNY abroad, 避年。

I looked at those pics of myself and siblings especially bride. Then I found myself too sloppy. Then I think I only look good with this one, the boy who never disappoints me. Hahaha...

Birthday celebration

Happy belated birthday to papa and koko who celebrated their birthday last night. They may not be talkative and chirpy but they are my pillar of strength that I can always turn to when I need help and support. Love you...

开心果出嫁了。。。

今天是妹妹的大喜日。大伙儿们为她忙, 要她做个漂亮的新娘。家里办喜事很开心, 衷心祝福她幸福快乐。真的要幸福哦!

A Visit to Farm in the City

I think none realises that Xuan has visited FITC whenever there is new arrival of his younger siblings. The first time he went there was in 2013 when I gave birth to Cheng. My sis took him there while I was still in hospital. He was barely 21mo who followed my sis wherever she went. In 2014, we went there again with my friends. And now with the arrival of his baby sister while I'm still in confinement, my sis took Xuan and Cheng there again. Their favourite auntie who has been watching them grow up and even helping babysit them is now embarking on a new milestone in life that we are so happy and proud to witness. She is getting married in another 2 weeks. Marriage is truly beautiful- we hope they enjoy and cherish the journey along the way.

the wedding band

Whenever I walk past the jewelry stores, a slight feeling of regret strikes me- I regret for not choosing my own wedding band. I remember those days when hubby hinted me on the kind of wedding ring I wanted. My answer was always simple- simple design so that it wouldn't go out-fashioned. I did not want a big stone because it might fall off, I might lose it, I was gonna wear it for long so it'd better be as tough and hardy as possible. So I have the simplest design of ring which only features a small stone. In that ring, there carved my name. It is not the perfect one, it doesn't fit my fingers perfectly but I guess it's and will be one of the best things that holds so much memories of myself and hubby.

This post has no meaning, it is written in conjunction with December, the month of celebration where year-end sales are almost everywhere, hahaha! 

Today feels like another weekend...

I came back from a friend's wedding just now. It was held at a golf club. My bro and sis were very kind to help us babysit xuan, so we went there without him. After the wedding, I called my sis to ask if he was still at home. Apparently, he was not. My sis sent me a few pics of him at the swimming pool in klcc. He was having so much fun. I'm forever thankful to them for giving me a strong family support especially on babysitting xuan. I have always been telling friends that kids grow up very fast. Indeed they are. Xuan did not cry when we left home. He did not want me to pick him up either. This weekend he is gonna turn 2.5yo. I'm already getting emo when I look at the pics from my sis...

From tawau

We are having our very first family vacation in tawau. I take this as our vacation cuz it is very highly likely that we are not going anywhere in the near future except back to hometowns. Congrats to a close friend of mine who just got  married here. Traveling with two kids in tow is really challenging, what more we dun have our own transport. But hubby has managed it quite well for taking care of xuan and I have no worries about them.

The destiny

We went to a friend's wedding in penang, a friend who has been in relationship for a very long 15 years. When they displayed a video clip of their life together, i felt happy for this friend of mine and am glad that we crossed path and god made me to be part of her life, it is indeed a very touching love story. When we came back, hubby took us to the nearest hyper mart for some grocery shopping. He was holding xuan in his arm, I stood afar looking at them. My mind was thinking about this man of mine, i recalled the first day I saw him and those days when we were so much younger. And I must say none of us can really escape time.

Munchkin inside me on a road trip

I'm into my 30+ weeks of pregnancy, the little guy inside is growing well. I hope he will be happy and healthy like his big bro, may god bless them!! We are now on our road trip in Kuantan, it is not too far from kl, im glad that we have opportunity like this to have a weekend getaway, despite the fact that we have to leave this place early to avoid being caught in traffic jam cuz schools resume tomorrow. So tomorrow will also be another sad day for xuan, he will be a crying baby whenever Monday comes, I presume he has Monday blues too. Talking about traveling, I find myself in a big dilemma- I always wish I can go somewhere out of kl. But the thought of long travel hours chickens me out, I still haven't got over the boredom of long haul flight. The journey i had last year was never awful but wonderful in fact to have my loved one come back wiv me, parents, a team of cabin crew and passengers who played with xuan. But the after-effect of the trip was too tiring, I had to barnish the post holiday mood plus a little bit of jetlag. Also, I had to deal with a very difficult situation where xuan refused to be under the care of my mil, it just made me heartache to see him crying and clinging to me whenever I left for work. Oh well, it is still happening now but it has improved a lot. That makes me feel sorry for having to have to leave him with other ppl while he is so dependent on me. But after giving it much thought, I feel this could be a sign of aging for myself, my heart may not be fit enough to travel. So I salute my sis whose job requires her to do so and she is always on the go. I dunno where I will be going to for my next destination, but looking at my past travel record, I know I can't stay put for a long time. So I'm thankful that I'm going to Penang in another two weeks for my best friend's wedding!! That concludes my current situation that road trip is more comfy than long haul flights, errr, maybe!

:D

Im very happy for a good friend of mine. I wish her and the hubby-to-be a happy life together. I then wanna assure her that crying from happiness is absolutely normal. I will cry for her too or her parents, if i happen to be there.

hello from kuching.

Today, i din join the morning session of my best friend's wedding.  Told her that i felt sorry to let my sis take care of baby alone, i decided to take part in the reception dinner only. So we booked a day tour to go to the sarawak cultural village. It was a very nice show, although we sounded too touristy. Baby has been very coperative. Well, this is one of the best things for breastfeeding mums- breasts are like an opium, so soothing and calming for babies. I guess baby knew that he is not at home, so besides being curious, he also seems to enjoy exploring the city very much. Must give credits to the carrier a mummy best friend loans me, it's very useful and i made a wise choice for not taking the stroller wiv us. The last time i flew airasia was four months back, din know that they have changed their uniform, or is it on saturday only that they are allowed to wear casual? I found it quite a surprise when i saw a stewardess wearing blue jeans, thought she was a ground staff. But no, all the crew members were in jeans yesterday. They din look professional, i must say, but i like the idea of being casual, they seemed very comfy in it, and i applaud the ceo's idea for being creative. Next week, my office has invited the ceo over for an executive talk, guess i must make myself available to attend, altough i hate airasia for its service bla bla, whatever it is, dun mess wiv money:p

my best friend's wedding

好朋友即将和拍拖多年的男朋友踏上红地毯, 很替她开心. 忽然希望明年六月快点到来, 很期待出席他俩的婚礼. 祝愿天下有情人终成眷属...

近来经济不景, 治安败坏, 家里宝宝没经过父母亲同意就报名参加睦邻计划, 值守夜勤. 我和妈妈只好随时候命 standby, 只是我们不清楚他成功抓了几个贼.

Im sorry...

Please allow me to say this one last time to two close friends of mine who are just married. Im sorry, we are sorry for not being able to attend your weddings (we technically do not, but our blessings are always wiv you). Im so touched by ur effort to un-invite me, but i still feel guilty:) but im thankful that i met you, you are such a great friend. On a different note, a post by my friend has really caught my attention. He asked, what is the use of having an assistant if the assistant needs to be assisted all the time. Ironically, that question triggered my mind - what is the purpose of getting promoted to become a superior if everything has to be prepared and done by assistant from scratch?

whose wedding?

Why are all channels on the royal wedding? I want my sporean drama...

joyous occasions...

Let's welcome march with a warm smile. there gone were the past two months filled with quite a lot of public holidays. This is gonna be a very dull month ahead, working for long hours plus some seminars and executive talks except i may have to go somewhere having fun with friends. but this is also the month i cant seem to miss out on friends' weddings and there are two!!

happy working, happy wedding!!

百年修得同船渡, 千年修得共枕眠

i like this buddhist sayings: 百年修得同船渡, 千年修得共枕眠

december is the most popular month for weddings. i have rushed to attend three wedding dinner/luncheon in that month alone. it's not that i hav to attend weddings every single week. im certainly more than happy to see couples walking down the aisle, having vowed to be together for the rest of life, that's the sweetest moment. so to suang and kokhao, boh and yong (gosh, i forgot the groom's name, should be yong), norman and eileen: may you both have a blessed marriage. may you find faith, love and happiness in each other's arms.

i have few pics to upload, next week maybe.

闷...

没庆祝屠妖节, 却又想学PRAKASH放假.

没到过西班牙, 反而奢侈地去吃了一顿并不怎么样的西班牙餐.

明明不是个赛车手, 却又幻想自己是ALONSO 在路上开着发拉利奔驰.

明明手上还有很多文件要干, 反而懒懒散散地对着电脑发呆.

翻了几页报章, 越看越提不起劲.

那些政客真无聊, 来来去去只为某些课题炒又吵.

某些朋友更无聊, 跟着他们一起疯, 受气了, 何苦呢?

都说了政治话题留给政治人物搞, 偏偏就是讲不听!!

想到下个月要到上议院值勤其实很不好受. 到时候我才是真正的最无聊.

可是也蛮期待下个星期的课程, 短短的两天填满整整一年的固打.

偶尔轻松自在!!

霜与国皓下个月要结婚了, 是喜讯更是SHT毕业5年后的一场大聚会.

可是原来我与好多朋友失联了.

真可悲!! 生活郁闷得像白开水平淡无味. 可是偶尔又品出甘甜.

人, 实在矛盾!

babbling...

damn *** spoilt my holiday and soured my year-end plan.

also, blame myself for the stupid miscalculation! i thought i spent ONLY 10 days annual leave but it turns out a great many 11 days, without taking into account the forthcoming suang's wedding and cameron trip wiv yean.

October 15 is d-day for budget which im supposed NOT to be away. but i cant be bothered, neither abt my annual leave balance. so boss has principally approved my leave application and im going home, for real this time!!
