In His Time

Nien Nien You Yi - Every year got fish…I everyday also eat fish.

Well, today is my last day in the office before the CNY holiday. No blogging when I’m at home. Will only be back in the office on the 1st (I hope so…:) ).

Would like to wish everyone a Blessed & Prosperous New Year.

Eat & drink as much as you can…later exercise ok.

Give as much as you can afford…money will come one

Have fun everyone!

Almost every evening after I bring them back from my mom’s I will let my girls play at the house compound. From 8.15am to 6.30pm, they will be trapped in the house at my mom’s. They will get so excited whenever they arrived home. Even if they took their evening bath, I will still let them play. We can always wash them up again.

Kiki will be exploring the huge space around her, picking up flowers, leaves, stones, and soil an sometimes if I did not notice, dried dog poop!

Belle will be playing with the sand, cooking rice and dishes and baking cake then after asking mommy to eat it. After a while she will play at the swing or join Kiki.

I will be following Kiki wherever she goes, telling her to “get up” when she falls, “wipe the dirt from your hand”, “don’t eat the stone”, “throw it away”, “don’t go too far”, “come back”, “don’t touch the dog” etc… and yes, when she fall down, I do not help her up. I will just tell her to get up by herself. She is a tough girl. Sometimes when she fell, there will be some scratches on the palm and knee, she does not cry. She will wipe off the stones and soil from it and continue playing!

Last night, she was saying “Walk Walk” again and again but we just ignore her coz we are busy with other things. She picked up her shoe, bring it to me, and say “Walk Walk” Smart girl…maybe she thought we don’t understand her!

The 2nd tag I received on Saturday to wish I’ll layan…hehehe. Btw, got tagged by powerpuff.

As usual, I am not going to tag anyone…:D

There is this newspaper man that never fails to smile at me whenever he sees me. Not that I buy any newspaper from him before. It just that we bump (not really bump lar…I’m in my car and him on his motorbike) into each other almost every morning on my way to office.

At first I thought maybe I perasan (it was my imagination) or maybe he has the smiling face. So he did not intentionally smile at me. But today, as I was coming out from a junction and him coming in to the junction, he smiled and nodded at me. Well, I “have to” smile back lar. (I don’t smile at strangers one).

So it confirms lar that all this while he memang (actually) smile at me. Hmmm….what’s his intention ah? You don’t get many people smiling at you for nothing these days.

My guess:
1. He is trying to get me to buy his paper.
2. That’s just his nature…friendly.
3. I’m pretty??? Hur hur hur

What you guys/gals think?

Just a short post…

My attempt to bake butter cookies for CNY didn’t turn out as I expected.

Firstly I did not use pure butter. So the cookies turned out tasteless, no butter taste at all. Then I mixed lots and lots of chocolate chips and 2 tablespoon of powdered milk to get the milky taste. It tasted just ok.

Half way baking, the oven failed me. It stopped heating! Left 2 more trays to go, so I brought it to my mom’s and use our old faithful gas oven.

Don’t think I’ll serve it for my CNY guest.

Went home for a while during lunch, saw hubby munching on it while watching tv. Hmm…at least someone is eating it.

Got tag by KepalaTelur. Usually I don’t entertain meme but since today is Saturday and I’m in the office right now with nothing much to do…I give you face lar.

As I was surfing the net, my hand touches my side pocket. Felt something bulging there. Hmmm…sure tissue one. Put my hand in it, felt that there is a piece of paper too besides tissue. Took it out and…

I am richer by 10 ringgit today! Yippeeeee!

I have not been wearing the pants for months. I don’t even remember I was short of 10 ringgit. Money goes out like water nowadays. Like water, sometimes it leaks. Thank God the leakage went to my side pocket! kekeke.

Last Friday, in our cell group discussion, there was a question on “what would you do/improve if you are the pastor of the church?” As for me, being a mother to a baby and a toddler, I would need a C.L.E.A.N room for my girls to play without distracting me from listening to the sermon.

There used to be such a room. Managed to use it when Belle was a baby. Now the room has been converted to the Senior Pastor’s wife office. In yesterday’s cell group meeting, the senior pastor gave the reason that when the children scream; the congregation can hear them. That’s because the door was not close because the speaker in the room is not functioning. So…in order to hear the sermon, the mothers have to open the door slightly. If the door if close, you can hardly hear the children screaming.

I think many have heard about this:
A group of people is given a cup of water that is half filled. When asked what do they see? Some say, the cup is half empty and some half full. That’s how many of us look at life. The +ve side (half full) or the -ve side (half empty).

Earlier I did mention that I do not want to make any resolution for this year. But as a family, we decided to have one. At least by end of this year we know that we have achieved something besides seeing our girls grow up or having more of them. kekeke.

Our resolution is: Half Filled/Full Cup. Looking at everything that happens in a positive way.

Let me give an example. This actually happened yesterday.

I went to buy breakfast. 3 packets of Nasi Lemak. One for me, one for Belle and one for MIL. The moment I reached home, I informed my MIL that I bought a packet for her. She acknowledged that. Later I saw her cooking Fried Banana. After that, she makes for herself a cup of Milo and enjoying the Fried Banana. Then she asked me, “The Nasi Lemak got extra ah?” I said, “Yes”.

I was a lil bit annoyed by her action. It’s like, I already told you that I bought a packet for you and then you go fry the Fried Banana and then asked me some more whether the Nasi Lemak got extra or not. If you, you angry or not?

Anyway, she ate Belle’s half, just not to offend me I guess.

If my mind, I was planning to complain to my husband and inform him that “from today onwards, I am not going to buy breakfast for your mother again for this is not the first time it happened.”

Then I remembered our resolution. So… my half filled cup is… I get to eat another packet of the delicious Nasi Lemak for lunch. Yippie!

I told all the above to hubby but not as a complain. I just hope by end of this year I will be able to have better character.
