If love is something so fundamentally important to us, then why is it that we have so many issues and misunderstandings in the area of finding it?
For most of us, it’s been an adventure in trial and error and learning through pain and heart-break. But is there an easier way?

Last Day of 2010
Today is the last day of this year.
It is also Yona's school registration day.
She had gone to school as usual but need me to featch her later on.
Went out with Andrew for breakfast and we ended up looking for a new set of stove and oven.
I should have bought her workbook earlier on cos it I had to wait for a long while before being able to pay for them. I had infact never seen Diversy ( the shop) this full before.
Andrew bought the new stove and a big oven for me.
We stayed at home for the remaining day.
Trying out the new oven with a baked chicken and some chops.
The products turned out so well. Chicken went within minutes with the girls.
Not much to say about the chops.
Those who ate them ends up with stomach upset .... aaarrrrrrrr!!!!!!!!

A week before christmas and year end roll off
Sunday was always meant for late mornings. However today I had to wake up early as the girls would be competing in the final roll off of this year.
Yona had won the last month roll off and was hoping to repeat the same feat this month.
I had done all of last night's washing from the sale so not much more cleaning was needed to be done in the kitchen. Furthermore the maid would also be coming in later. And with Yona's game starting only at nine- thirty, I took my time in getting ready.
There were still much left overs from last nigh's sale as so, breakfast was nothing to worry about.
Left for the alley at around nine, just enough time to pick Lydia from mom's place.
Was not a 'sweet' repeatition on the Yona's win but she managed a good average overall coming in third.
As with each year, the MSN trainee would have the year end closing ceromony at a bigger scale.
The close off ceremony highlighted lunch and hampers prepared by the parents held after the game.
Note:
Just felt like closing my eyes and 'stop' everything.
Just coulding imagine why I am put in 'this' position
Felt I'm being 'used' as an 'excuse' for the 'things' that is not 'right'

A MINUTE
Life sometimes looks hard ... feels like we will always have trouble. Although looking deep, most of these times is not as bad as the other's who have to endure more hardship daily than we would even experience in a lifetime.
Most of thr times we forget the grace that is given to us. We wake up everyday, to a peaceful country, opportunities everywhere, a job to go to, meals on the table, friends, education, entertainment, access to the internet and information etc. When we 'read' real life stories of people living not very far from us or on the other side of the world, it is then we will realize it's time to quit complaining and being thankful for what we already have.
Consider that God has allowed both good and bad times.
Sometimes these difficult times shape our character..... responsibilities ....
priorities...

Taking Time and be thankful
It’s been another busy week. A week that feels like I could have blinked and missed almost all together, save the long blur of normal life that makes days sometimes feel like they fade into each other and are no longer distinct.
But drawing to a close. The busy-ness. The rush. The long, long nights. And those few moments that included teardrops right along with the raindrops outside.
And it is time to hit the reset button. To rest.
To take some time apart from all that has occupied the mind these past days and just savor time.
Time to listen and be still.
Time to stop and ponder the little things.
Time to let Him revive the heart, and refresh the mind.
And I’m so thankful for this time.

ACKNOWLEDGEMENT
In the busy world that we live in, it is such a nice thing to take a moment to acknowledge and appreciate the people that are closest to us.
Families and love ones... we learn to appreciate them better and start to become grateful for the time spent together, even if it is just a few hours each day.
I looked around and 'see' these people around me .
I wonder what feelings goes through their mind.
.....and hearts.
Is everyone the same as me?
"Sometimes our hearts get tangled
And our souls a little off-kilter
Friends and family can set us right
And help guide us back to the light".
- Sera Christann
Inside myself is still a place where I live all alone.....
But a place where YOU renew your springs... that'll never dry up.
I know what I want but I must never be selfish. Priorities must come first.
There will be a time when what my heart wants will be my priority.
First Sunday
Today is the first sunday of the last month of the year 2010. :) yea yea...in short..first sunday of December 2010.
Woke early to do the load of dishes which I have left in the sink last night.
Not much but all big oily 'stuff'. All from last night's sale.
The maid came late again so I had almost done all of her routine by the time she arrived.
I finished the load of wash but forgotten to hang them out until I got home from the market.
Yes... I went to to market with Andrew to get my normal twenty kilos of Dogs/cats fishes.
I have still around five packs in the freezer but buying now would mean saving me time from going back to the market later in the week.
I managed to get nice fresh sardines at RM2.8/kg this time... perfect!
I did not follow him to Kim Fung when he wanted to go and wash his car later on so I managed to watch ( after 'wrestling with Lydia for the remote control)three eposides of CSI.
Jo wanted to for jogging at the sports complex to which I agreed.
The girls came along as so with Jo's Sheryl.
My shoes were a size smaller for comfort so I only managed a round to Jo's five.
( Note: Lydia ended all muddy when she slipped and fell while jogging- with slippers!)
Hhmm...I ended up catching up gossips with friends at the canteen over a cup of coffee.
Was just after six when we went home. Darkness takes over fast around this time of the year here
Fried some veggie as additional dish to the 'stewed' beef in the slow cooker before heading for the shower.
Andrew wanted to go out and get some drinking water but I was not really up to go out again.

TRIPLETS!
It's the first day of december and a pleasent ( 'sigh') sight greets me.
Baby Tay who has been 'carring' her huge belly around finally gave birth to triplets.
A black dapple and two black/tan pups. Two males and a female.
Seems this bitch was born to breed. She gets pregnant too often.
The four years since I got her she had had fifteen pups alltogether.
SPAY!...oh yea that is in the list of the coming new year resolutions ('sigh'..again!)
I didn't get a chance to take any really good photographs because they were still so little and the mom made a 'fuss' eachtime they were taken a little further from her sight.
Another reason why I don't want to 'play around' with them just yet. Mom was still 'bleeding'.
Both males are bigger than the female although she is nothing as small as Blink Blink when he was born.
Typically Mon's. Still 'red' as with newborn human babies. HE gets all the attention because dapples are cuter :)

WISE MOVE?
J.K. Rowling quote from her speech Harvard University:
"So why do I talk about the benefits of failure? Simply because failure meant a stripping away of the inessential. I stopped pretending to myself that I was anything other than what I was, and began to direct all my energy into finishing the only work that mattered to me. Had I really succeeded at anything else, I might never have found the determination to succeed in the one arena I believed I truly belonged."
I know, I know.... it's nothing like her life (HOW I WISH!!!) BUT we too can restart with our 'hidden gifts'.
What's wrong in getting up and direct the energy into finishing the 'work'??? our dreams???. The 'box' of talents HE has given us would be a waste to returned unopened.
What do we have to lose?
Where do we start?
I sit here and ponder...just momentarily thou.
This is going to be a 'fulfilling' passion and not just for me I know.

ALL IN A DAY
Today I felt somewhat like those intant coffee...three in one...kind of person. Expect that I think I became more than three should I really count it.
Let's see.... I woke up at the normal time that I do during school days.... plus the same feeling of wanting to go back to bed once the girls have gone off to school.
Despite that, I forced myself not to fall into that routine.
Looking around, there was really much to be done around the house. The sooner I'm doing rather than thinking of doing the better I know the situation will be.
I finally finish painting green colour the four iron chairs in the copound...Yea I'm a painter!
I 'did' two pails of cement mix for my smoothing project on the compound as well... hhmm I don't know what you call people who do this for a living but I was one of them.
I would have done more but ran out of sand ( -not buying becos there is still a huge pile at the back of the house ...BUT I will need to sieve them first because the pile has been there for YEARS!!!)
Today I also let out the 'chef' in me (again). I retried my kuih lapis with the correct steaming pan with tremendous success . The mould filled in so well as so with the final outcome product.
In between the 'real' work, I got to wash my car do a load of laundry , clean my room( includes cleaning the 'mess' the cat made and Blink Blink shredded newspapers), watch AFC and CSI (???) on Astro, go to the bank for withdrawal ,spent time with my girls...plus surfing and playing my online games... hehehe (a must!)
That all falls into my existing 'occupation'list catogory as a home maker I should say. Agree?
Phew! at the end of the day I could proudly say ' a good well spent day'.
EXCEPT for this...
Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahh.. I 'hated' them cats!
It took me a while to clen up the mess ( with their help to an extend).
but all was well ...except I ran out of eggs that day

1,2...3... long days
Monday
free day... nothing to remember by. Was online most of the time inserting the perfect add for the new found 'interest' .
Rejected thou they accepted it the second time I submit it.
Phew :( all my 'punch' line tak kena pakai.
Tuesday
went out especially for Lydia's re registration at her school.
Yona came along as I've told her I wanted to trim my hair. She too wants that.
Stopover to look for baking stuff along the way home.
We took such a long time window shopping that we ended up waiting for Lydia to return from school before going on to have the trim. We then went straight to Giant and Survey to chek on the meat section.
Getting the prices to finalise the christmas's menu we were preparing.
Dissapointed that I didn't get what I came for..... turkeys!
I bought a big chicken to try on my roasting .
The girls somehow locked Ashy in my car. AAAAAAAAAAAA ( big Aaaa- serious)
When I realised he was not around the time I fed them dinner.
The thought of him lying dead somewhere crossed my mind until I saw him at the dash board.
The car smelled 'poop' the moment I open the door... true enough there was one..plus a puddle of urine at the back seat's mat.
The worse....and I mean WORSE was the fact that he made the seat his straching post.
AAAAAAAAAAAAA ( again big Aaas...seriously it was that bad)
Wednesday
Woke up early with the intention to get into bed once Lydia was gone.
Thought erased.
I was a load of laundy instead.
Did a little bit of cement patching using the cat's sand ( yea....litter sand)
I was just about to finish the steel chair painting when I got distracted.
The 'besi buruk' guys passed by and I managed to make a quick Rm15 for the rusted water tank laying at the backyard. I was happy enough if they could just haul it away.Now I was getting paid....hahaha first time making money selling 'junk' too. At least my task to clear the backyard would be easier now.
Went over to mile four to conduct my search for the meat price quotation. Today was my luck day. I got everything with just one stop. I even managed to buy some fish fillets while at that.
Bought lunch and head for home . Received an SMS from the comittee for the pasar malam thing. There was to be an interview at three at Elopura's MP office.
I went for the meeting which turned out to be just a briefing with YB Au himself.
Oh wow... I felt so out of place sitting there. No doubt feeling lucky to be amongs the chosen ones.
Bowling night for Yona.

LIVE FEED
Aha... you'll never know who would stop by your blog until you have installed them gadget.
I have taken note that more people are actually looking at my blog for unknown reasons .
Although to some, I know 'investigating' would be the a right word to use ....hehehe
I wonder why they even 'bother' to relate so much to what I’m writing about.
To 'relate' to probably?
..hehe
I'm optimistic. It's mind over matter, so I won't mind what doesn't matter .
People who are out to put someone elses down, simply have nothing better to do with themselves.

WEEKDAYS IN A "BLINK"
Monday
...everyone went to school
It was a good morning in the sense that it was bright and sunny.
And for that reason alone I finally wash my car after putting it aside for such a long time.
Since I had the 'mood' to do work, I did few chores which include the fun side of mixing some cement to fill in the little cracks that were all over my front compound.
Watch tv in between... seems like I have been doing much of this but I'm complaining.
My mood to bake was 'on' but there was so much food still around that the idea was finally 'killed'.
I did however cook lunch for the girls.
Mom and Atlas came .They wanted to try out at new burger place that I have been telling them about.
A place where they suppose to sell 'real home made bugers'. We wanted to 'see' for ourselves so to say.
After checking out the address on the net we found out that today was their 'off' day .
Hhmm.. we opt eat at Mr Bean instead ..BUT.. it was short of an hour before the girls come back from school and it wouldn't be fun to rush through the meal.
That in mind, we made a date to do this lunch thing tomorrow.
After they left I went on to watch Bad Boys 2 on AXN....that took my afternood off.
I made a point to move one dog house out for Uku. If there is a dog who can't stand cold...this is him.
We also got him a new baisin as his bed.
While Yona had bowling training, Lydia didn't and so we sent her to mom's place before going .
It was year end and just like every year, most of the trainees won't come during the school break.
I know for sure Jo wont be there. Just the thought of me sitting there all alone was dreadful....
After letting Yona down, I practically didn't go out of the car till it was time to go back.
I had brought along my lap top to 'kill time' but it kind of let me down when the batteries only lasted for half an hour.
The fact that it was raining might contribute to my sleeping while lying down at the back seat eventhough there were many people going in and out of the parking area.
Tuesday
Another 'no mood' day for me.
so It was infront of the tv watching my favourite series again.
Atlas called saying that dad wanted to go to sungai manila and asked me if I wanted to come along.
It hass been about a month that I have not gone there so I said yes.
Well.. that was the initial plan but towards the time to go , he came over and said that dad wanted to sent his workers to Beluran after that.
We opt not to go as that would mean I would have to make the trip to Beluran and it'll take hours before I can get me back home.
We had dinner at mom's again tonight..nothing special except family time.
Stayed till after nine... which was their bed time :).
Wanted to go online but was too tired...I didn't get my necessary nap this afternoon because Atlas came and also because I did my pineapple tarts again.
I wanted to use all the jam before the expiry date( which is in dec..hehehe)
Went to bed early ...around ten
Wednesday
was not feeling too well this morning....a little feverish. Feels like I might be coming down with flu
Eventhough the much due 'aunty' was not here, my depressive mood was.
I didin't want to feel much of anything ...Just thinking of them makes me more depressive.
Was feeling like crawling into the corner and just be left alone.
I had a basket of laundry to do and yet left them at the hallway.......till later.
I watch tv...AGAIN!
Mom called asking if I wanted to 'jalan' with her and Atlas. I said no at the initial begining but said yes on second thoughts.I knew I would be too 'lazy' to do much of anything except watch tv.
I felt that going out might put some 'live' to my zombie state here. .
Mom wanted to go for the new burger house that we have been talking about.
We went round and round looking for the plase as everyone had forgotten the name plus the address of the shop . This cafe caught out eyes but mom's heart was set on burgers.
Still..... we got too hungry to survery further so we ended up at Mr Bean at Indah Jaya.
Went for unnecessary shopping for household items at Happymart supermaket.
Reached home a little past three.
Wanted so much to take my 'fix' but the show on tv was so darn interesing...hehehe
well.. I did kind of dozed off for a few minutes I think.
Finally I went and did my laundry while continuing my cement 'patch' work.
Bolwing night for yona again.
I didn't want to sleep in the car so I brought along the lap top ...plus the cables this time.
Wasn't very hungry but ordered light dinner because I sat at the cafe while waiting.

IDC
I think people who talk about other people behind their backs in a bad way is just bored and have nothing better to do with their lives.
Gossip is immature and a waste of time.
'Spying'?
Personally....IDC
Life is short, won't waste time worrying about what other people think.
We hold on to the ones that care cos in the end they will be the only ones there.

WEEKEND -HALLOWEEN
Saturday- It's Halloween!
I woke up today to a very cold morning.
Eventhough the air condition was still 'sick' the fan wasn't. Andrew has a habbit of having it on the whole night wherelse I sleep without both.
Darn... I don't feel so well now.
Got the rush with the 'need to do' stuff as dad would be picking us for church at eight.
It's been two weeks in a row that we missed service. I didn't want to miss again this week.
Andrew on the other hand wanted me to go with him on his hunt for his electronic stuff again. I compromised by letting him pick us up right after sabbath class.
We went for lunch and later to giant for some shopping.
Afternoon was spent napping in the living room with Andrew and Yona with the airconditioner fully blasted.....Brrrrrrrr...was so cold
Evening was on the net just browsing through as was with Andrew and Yona
When hunger finally strick it was already nine oclock.
We had dinner at Kim Fung's market place where we then refill our drinking water supply.
Was felling very sleepy by the time we got home but still managed to watch an episode of the amazing race on AXN ( Kev Jamba was there so...). I went into my 'den' around eleven.
Wanted to do some reading before sleeping but my eyes just won't stay open.
zzzzzzzzzz.....
So much so for halloween...it was just an ordinary day and night for me .
Unless you're still in 'that' era where it's a night of loud music and dancing it was pretty much the same for everyone else here.
It was a big 'happening' event though at Tiara club.
Lazy sunday
Woke up at seven, which is something rare considering I went to bed early last night. I would have expected to wake up much earlier.
It was a rainy 'moody' sunday. Probably the reason behind not waking much earlier . It would have been good to walk the sunday market or do some work around the house in this weather condition. On the contrary I didn't do both.
The 'mood' was simply not there.
Andrew drove back to KK right after taking me out for breakfast.
He knows how 'lazy' I am to go out on my own . Furthermore the fact that I don't eat my own cooking makes it more reason to go. (I've been complaining about my unwanted weight loss)
I actually had the heart for some pan mein but he wanted something else....eeeeeeeeh
nevertheless it was still good.
By the time he left, my mood for the day was still nowhere to be seen.
So the rest of the hours were spent infront of the tv.
I watched asia amazing race and three CSI episodes....with short naps in between :)
The rest of the afternoon were spent online doing my (useless) farms.
We went to mom's place much earlier than usual when Atlas called and said Dad wanted to have dinner early and also he wanted to talk about some 'matters'.
Blah blah blah...yak yak yak... we talk...
and talk and talk...
....all good stuff..including the food of course
Finally went home at around nine upon seeing Lydia sleepy.
I woke up today to a very cold morning.
Eventhough the air condition was still 'sick' the fan wasn't. Andrew has a habbit of having it on the whole night wherelse I sleep without both.
Darn... I don't feel so well now.
Got the rush with the 'need to do' stuff as dad would be picking us for church at eight.
It's been two weeks in a row that we missed service. I didn't want to miss again this week.
Andrew on the other hand wanted me to go with him on his hunt for his electronic stuff again. I compromised by letting him pick us up right after sabbath class.
We went for lunch and later to giant for some shopping.
Afternoon was spent napping in the living room with Andrew and Yona with the airconditioner fully blasted.....Brrrrrrrr...was so cold

It's Friday again
Nothing I could recall that is meaningful today except that it rained for most of the day....and night.
Went to mom's house for dinner although I wasn't really that hungry. I have been munching on junks throughout the afternoon.
Spent just a little less than an hour there as Yona had training .
I have forgotten to bring along any reading material that time seems to go so darn slow when you're just sitting there waiting for the session to end.
I went online to FB through my phone but there wasn't really much to do if you don't play any of the games there.
This is one of the 'thing' that you can't do using the phone...hhhmmm
With that I went back to the car's backseats and tried to get some advance sleep.
It was raining so there were not much people passing in and out at the parking lots. Sleeping was just the right.

WHY BOTHER?
Feeling pain is necessary. Sometimes pain is the teacher we require, a hidden gift of healing and hope for a better tomorrow.
Although we don't have to hold on to the pain, to hold on to the memory.
Why bother to 'dig' for 'dirt' if it is only going to add to the sorrows?
Why bother to that extend?....
What is there to gain from this?
It's always better to look for future happiness instead of raking over past disappointments which we can't change.
so.. why bother?
For my so called friends out there -
Isn't it always better to shut ones mouth if one doesn't have anything nice to say? .
Just stick to the ninth commandments if you don't have all the puzzles for the whole picture.
You have no rights in the first place to intrude.
so ...why bother?

IT'S BURST...DAY
AAAAAAAAAAAAA.... (big aaaassss mean more serious) my eye!
I looked like someone had given me a punch there. All red and swollen.
The pus...eeeeeeoow!
Looking at the 'thing', I knew I was going to 'enjoy' myself bursting that sac.
About time too. I waited till I had finish doing all my moring chores before doing it.
Hehe.. prolonging the suspense I suppose.
Again I was a bit dissapointed when there was not much of the 'yucky stuff' come out.
The pain was still there although I can sense great relief after the 'burst'.
Yona wanted to go to school today but backed out again at the last minute.
I'm much satisfied today because I got to do a lot of 'stuff' which I could account for at the end of the day.
Firstly, I finally finish painting the swing while doing the laundry( multi tasking)....yeah finally!
Though that is not the end of the painting task. I would still need to do the pot stands, the backyard fence ...plus the kitty's cage....plus..plus..plus
Yeap... there are still lots of 'them' that needs fresh coats .
I watched back to back two CSI episodes while doing the 'siput' snack.
So easy to do yet takes much of your time.
Two episodes would mean two hours... that was how long I took to 'shaped' them.
It's not my favourite amongs snacks but really don't mind having once in a while. I would say Lydia appreciate them much more than me.
kids + snacks(junk food) = happy
Easy to do dough...everything in
The 'difficult' part - shaping them into tiny snails
Hhmm... after all the hard work..I kind of overdid them with the frying
I'm complaining because they kind of gotten a little on the hard side and I have difficulty on 'hard' food :(
Tonight I started cleaning my room too :)
-I know .....still got a looooooooooooog way to go

SORE ...SORE
Woke up with a pain on my right eye. I just knew then (more like felt) that the eye would be swollen. True enough , it was.
aaaaaaaa....I looked eeerrr......'different'
Yona didn't go to school again today even after weighing the pros and cons over and over last night.
Waking up late was her excuse. Daaa..... five minutes late makes a difference?
So much so for asking my advise weather to go or not.
This is the third day in a row she went AWOL.
The weather was 'gloomy' and everything around was still wet from last night's rain that I totally erased the idea of doing my schedulled hour/day painting job.
I had just a little bit more to finally finish the swing project ( ..into the second week now :( )
With my sore eye as an excuse, I laid down on the couch with a tea bag on one eye and watch tv.... hehehe..with the 'good' eye.
Waited for the 'gasman' (hehe..is there even such a word?) to come but as usual when you wait they hardly come.
None infact until around 4pm. Even that too I missed.
I had no choice but to cook my curry chicken ( my make for the day )using the electric stove.
Curry turned out fine although a little runny while this picture was taken.
Though very much reluctant to go for training, we somehow went after dinner (yea..runny curry).
While Yona was allowed to rejoin her team , Lydia was rejected by her coach sighting that she had missed training for two months without informing him.
Now that was 'some' statement he made.
I remember distinctly telling him that the girls won't be coming in for training until Yona's PMR exams were over the last time we met.
I totally lost my 'cool' although remained calm when he begun 'telling' me infront of the trainees.
I knew he wanted me to stoop a level lower and 'beg' him to have her back in the team but I guess the way he went about it were all 'wrong' in my sight.
The damage had been done and I totally lost my respect for him as a coach there and then.
No way was I going to give him that satisfaction of admitting I'm at fault here when I know I'm not.
With that I just walked...almost pulled Yona out too.
Told Andrew about the whole 'fuss' and was pleased that he was a hundred percent behind my decision to walk.
The rest of the training session saw me and Lydia sitting at the hall reading....me on my 'Chicken Soup' collection and her on her english text book.
“Men are respectable only as they respect”

SUGAR.....LESS
Today I finally made that carrot cake Yona wanted so much.
I was actually a bit on the 'lazy' (as always) mood but she was ever so eager to help out. This time, unlike on so many other time, I let her do .
Actually she only got to grate the carrots and chop the wallnuts...... which she said was tiring.
I mentioned sugarless because that was what happened to these cakes. Not totally though. Just the brown sugar portion. A bad 'mistake' as it is an important ingredient that gives carrot cakes their distinctive taste.
It was too late to add in for the ones that are in the cups but I managed to add some for the one in the big baking tin.
pretty cakes going in oven
Lydia enjoying the cuppies served with cream cheese topping
I kind of felt some growth on my right eye lower lid this morning when I unintentionally rubbed it . Boy was it itching 'bad' then.
As much as I tried not to disturb it....I guess I did because the itch continued through out the whole day.
I didn't realised how bad it had become until evening came when I looked in the mirror and found that there was... pus!
eeeeeow... now I can't help not to squeeze...... nothing much really came out but squeezing was a darn stupid thing to do . The pain...oh the pain
Is heartache an appropriate price to pay for momentary happiness? I think not....nevertheless

MONDAY NOT SO BLUE
As usual , monday has always been considered an 'off' day for me. Although I did managed to do my hour of painting as well as the day's laundry before sitting infront of the pc doing what I do best.
Jo called around nine asking me to go for breakfast with her. Also to settle some electricity bills at the board's main office at Batu Sapi. She didn't want to make the long ride alone.
I said yes to the offer but will only budge from 'here' after I have attended to my farms.... :) .... she was actually doing the same too.
Talk about fb addiction...we're both good examples.
We had breakfast at mile four...the usual place when the urge for laksa came up.
I'm not really sure what is the name of the shop but it has the number 33 in it.
I opted to forgo the laksa for a hot ( literally hot!) bowl of chiken century egg porridge which took 'hours' for me to finish.
It was an hour before midday when we finally left the eatry ( been to long apart so lots of 'juicy' stories to exchange there)... to deal with the electricty bills thingy which infact took less than ten minutes to settle.
We stopover at parkwell to buy some lunch for the girls before going home .
Ten minutes to one , I went over to send Jo to the airport.
She would be attending a seminar in KK until wednesday.
The girls were ready and waiting for me when I came back minutes later. We were going out to get Yona's BSN book which was supposed to be collected last friday.
I could have done the collection myself without her if I had knew they didn't need her to sign any acknowledgment document.
Hhmm... another note to question on the bank procedures here.
Why are they allowing me to collect her book ?. I asked and they simply give... don't that make you wonder?
Could any strangers have come and collect it? I didn't even said I am Yona's mom.
hhhhmmm........
A good 'sign' that greeds us on the way to the bank
Since I parked my car a distant away from Parkwell, we decided to do some minor shopping. Much of the time was actually spent on window shopping. I kind of said the word NO...put it back! over and over again. Lydia was being herself again and kept on asking for 'can I have this?....can I have this'? thus my answers.
Something that caught my sight as we walked along the path to Parkwell... nice

NotReallyAlone
.
To have someone to relate to and hopefully enjoy the music and get a positive message out of it, to make the best music that we possibly could, those were the goals in everyone's lives.
It is my belief that we all have the need to feel special.
It is this need that can bring out the best in us, yet the worst in us.
A lot of times I felt so alone. But I also know there are other people that have experienced either what I have, or close to it.
We are really not alone in our thoughts and feel.

SUNNY SUNDAY
A bright sunny sunday it was. Too bright for my daily one hour painting job.
Yea yea...it's a sunday and waking up early was not one of the 'things' that I usually do on a non school morning thus the reason for the much risen sun.
Not that I woke up exteremly late.Just that I didn't rush to do that particular task before the sun became too hot for comfort.
Another better reason for not doing was the fact that Andrew was still around and the chances of us going out for breakfast before he leaves for KK was high. I just didn't want to be 'interrupted' while busy working.
I had finished doing a load of washing while cleaing up Uku's and the rest of the gang's 'mess' before the maid came. Hhmm ..It's beginning to be a routine work for me seeing that she comes very late nowadays.
Not that I minded... I have always said I still could manage without her. Thus this proved my point.
Hehe... this is what I always wanted to believe BUT... the actual fact is I do really need her 'bad' for the 'thousands' times that I'm not at home.
Gosh...the 'headaches' of someone with pets will only be known.... by someone with pets :)
Thought of cleaning up the cupboard.... BUT......the mood to do was not there.(again!)
Had gone for a little bit of groceries shopping last night and had 'dumped' everything ( including the plastic bags they come with) into the cupboard.
Yeah... am not kidding when I said 'dump'
The girls had a blast picking up varieties of biscuits to try on
Andrew only left for Keningau ( yea...another audit job there) around midday .
His last minute 'stuff' ( listening to songs from his turntable...daaaa!) somehow 'glued' him from going out and getting breakfast. I had in the end fried a packet of mee hoon and eggs for everyone.
Having breakfast late was good in the sense that the girls won't want to have lunch anymore .... which inturn would leave me 'free' .
In my world the word 'free' would actually mean doing what I feel like doing. ... ( today it definitely won't be rearranging the cupboard.. hehe)
In was the mood to do some baking. I had actually planned to do the carrot cake Yona had been asking me to for days.... BUT somehow I ended doing the pineapple cookies.
The dough was just the right consistency
putting in the filling , rolling into shapes and giving them a few 'snips' as 'make up'
glaced in rows and ready for the oven
fresh from the oven
horrey!!!...the end product.
Hhmm... I had to be my own guinea pig as the girls doesn't seem to show the least interest in them. I should have gone with the carrot cake :(
I attended to my garden while the cookies were baking.
I'm happy to say that my chillies were growing strong and so were the limes.
These were going to be the mother plants for our new place.

FRI....STEAM DAY
Ordinary day with nothing much activities.
Morning was spent going out for breakfast and other stuff with Andrew.
He is in the middle of making some 'electronic stuff' so there were few 'things' that he needed to hunt for.
One minute we were at mile 8 and the next at bandar ramai...
Blink Blink's new bowl. Andrew bought another one for Uku too....what about Nay,Girlie,BrownBrown,Sugar,Pochee,PrincessChub,Mamatay and Bluemone?
yea...ten tails in all (....and counting)
Blink Blink grew too long for his 'bed' so he chewed a big hole to extend his head out
The tokek had not make a single sound since the day I caught it. Nor had it eaten the 'worms' that I placed in his tank.
Worried that it would die of hunger I had gone to the pet shop yesterday for some crickets. None were for sale so I practically beg the shop assistant for these ( 5 pcs of their stock )
2K's food
My make for the day....steamed kuih lapis. I tried this recipe out because it got a good rating on the net. It turned out very well but nothing spectacular. Exactly like the normal kuih lapis that I can get from the market. Good for commercial purposes I suppose but lack that 'personal taste' for a nice afternoon tea time serving.
The girls' coach called and asked them to come for training tonight.Unlike Lydia, Yona was more 'pissed' rather than happy with that. I can understand how she felt. It has been more than two months since she last bowled. We tend to get a little 'lazy' once the routine is broken... I said we because I too follow their routine when it comes to bowling.
Andrew came along so I didn't have to drive them there. I didn't get to bowl as there were not 'kakis' around as well as all the lanes were already booked.
Yona had something to show after the session was over... a blistered thumb
Lydia with her bowling ball..... which is getting too light for her

Blink Blink's new bowl. Andrew bought another one for Uku too....what about Nay,Girlie,BrownBrown,Sugar,Pochee,PrincessChub,Mamatay and Bluemone?
yea...ten tails in all (....and counting)
Blink Blink grew too long for his 'bed' so he chewed a big hole to extend his head out
The tokek had not make a single sound since the day I caught it. Nor had it eaten the 'worms' that I placed in his tank.
Worried that it would die of hunger I had gone to the pet shop yesterday for some crickets. None were for sale so I practically beg the shop assistant for these ( 5 pcs of their stock )
2K's food
My make for the day....steamed kuih lapis. I tried this recipe out because it got a good rating on the net. It turned out very well but nothing spectacular. Exactly like the normal kuih lapis that I can get from the market. Good for commercial purposes I suppose but lack that 'personal taste' for a nice afternoon tea time serving.
The girls' coach called and asked them to come for training tonight.Unlike Lydia, Yona was more 'pissed' rather than happy with that. I can understand how she felt. It has been more than two months since she last bowled. We tend to get a little 'lazy' once the routine is broken... I said we because I too follow their routine when it comes to bowling.
Andrew came along so I didn't have to drive them there. I didn't get to bowl as there were not 'kakis' around as well as all the lanes were already booked.
Yona had something to show after the session was over... a blistered thumb
Lydia with her bowling ball..... which is getting too light for her
