Next week onwards, I'm joining the desperate houswife club. Not so desperate to find a cute hunk around but a new job or something for me to do. I still cannot digest the image of myself sitting at home from day to night not knowing what to do as the chores have left to the maid.

At times I've been planning what to do with so much spare time in hand and here are some list of the things I wanted to do if I have the time:-

Take up piano lessons and make good use of the piano at home. I've been playing the organ since I was in primary 4 and stop when I was in form 3. I wish to learn to play Pachebel Canon in D.
Cooking class. Weird thing about me is I don't enjoy cooking during my time in school and I don't even bother to learn any cooking skills until recently (2-3 years back). I've mastered some skill from cook books and through the internet. Probably I got influent by the Taylor's college students as they were having so much fun cooking and baking thus had me ended up wishing that I could study food & beverage.
Learn dance skills like salsa, bachata. But first I need to find a partner. That is really frustrating.
Business. I always wanted my own business. Be it in fashion line, beauty servises something that I can express my creativity.

So from here onward, let's see which door God will open it up for me as I always believe that He wants the best for me and He has a plan to prosper me. Things may seem bad in the eyes of men but He will turn them good. Amen!

Can I say this will be a good news too as I will be having more time in Xanga now onwards?!

This year, I decided to throw a birthday bash for my hun who's joining the club 30. Most of my friends has turned the big 3 and some are turning soon. It wasn't something I'm excited about when it is my turn. Now I really felt left out when you hear people welcoming each other into club 30. I'll join the club in few more years!

Preparing the spread, my home made garlic bread, salad and brushetta

It's time for some games...breaking the ice after a hearty meal

Linking our hands and try to untangle it. Thankfully we aren't octopus

The losing team and their forfeit

Dance to the beat!

Time to surprise the birthday boy with the cake. Supposingly we wanted to put 30 candles but could not find enough space for them.

Happy 30th birthday, hun and hope you had lotsa fun!

I would like to thank everyone for coming and making this party a successful one. Hope you guys had a great time and lotsa fun despite the air-cond wasn't working so well that night and I've made a complain to the management. May God bless you all.

xoxo

signing off with lotsa hugs and kisses.

Heya I've been hiatus for a while from here and my apology to everyone. I've been busy preparing for my hun's birthday bash since end of July. I hand made those art work for deco instead of purchasing them. Looking for caterer and finalising the venue of the event. Basically I'm enjoying being an event manager cum party planner.

During the early August, my friend Sumi invited us for her son, Ivan's 2nd birthday party. Surely the kids did have much fun at the kiddie zone. Well, even adults wish they were kids once again the moment you enter the fun zone!

Who wouldn't resist to jump into a pool of colourful gum balls!

Kiddos having a great time party, They even played Michael Jackson songs

Nuggets, fries and hotdogs served! All time fav for kids.

Not sure whether our tot is aware of what's happening around him!! We just pushed him here and there.

Swing- a -swing

We had a pre-celebration birthday for my hun the week before his actual birthday bash. We had a small family gathering in Genting and also for MLTR concert that weekend.

We went to Vietnam House for Vietnamese cuisine the next day for dinner

~ Bon apetite ~

Vietnamese Popiah with 3 different flavours

Mouth watering Vietnamese mango shrimp salad

The flaming prawns

Merry -go -round

Random kiddie pic of the week

This old picture was taken at Kuantan beach with Masao and he's half
Japanesa and half Singaporean. My mom met his mom when she was
working in Singapore in the 70's. The last time we met up with their family
was about 20 years ago.

Happy belated birthday daddy!

You're the best....

Dinner @ La Bodega

I'm ordering for myself too. One escargots tapas & margarita.

2 weeks ago hun took me to TGIF to indulge not only the main course but my all
time favourite mocha chocolate mud pie. The next day, my in-laws invited some
of their old friends and hun's childhood friends for dinner. Let's feast!

Bad brow day

I'm sure you've heard this : Don't fix what's not broken.

Brow is the hardest part to get it perfect. It takes me years of practice to
get it perfect. So do not simply let anyone shape your brow unless they are
professionals. I went for a trial facial over the weekend and as usual all facial
services will provide you not only facial but a complimentary face, shoulder
and back massage, and tweeze your brows.

Normally these aesthetic will just pluck a few outgrown hair but this particular
aesthetic change my brow shape entirely,totally giving me a new and uneven
brow now and it's totally yucky- thin and over plucked. My left brow is
shorter because the part of my inner edge was overly plucked and both brows
looks far apart!

Mommy, I'll play you your favourite Pachelbel's Canon in D

I would wish to extend my condolences to my cousin April on the passing
of her eldest son Andre. It really breaks my heart to see him suffer since
he was born. For sure one thing, he's a miracle child as he
supposingly have only years to live but he has reached 13 or 14 years
old by now.

He is and will always be the special boy in our heart, very warm, friendly,
funny and hardly complaint about the pain he has gone through. As a boy,
he's only wishes is all that he could run and play like the normal kids....

You truly amaze me especially on my wedding day as you joined all the
older guys playing all the silly and funny games and you look too
fit too be sick. I will always love and remember the funny faces you
used to make just to see us laugh.

You have been a blessing to us in so many ways and we know that you
have been with the Lord in heaven now. We will always love you,
cherish the memories and will never forget you. You will always
remain that sweet child in our heart.

:: My old kiddie pic ::

Here is one of my old classic kiddie picture which I had promised to
post it in my blog.That's me when I was around 3 years old with
my cousins at the back. My brother wasn't born yet that time.

There's more pictures with me now as I went to my parent's place
and dug out all the old pics over the weekends. I will get those updated
from time to time!

Recently I spent most of my weekends at home catching up with movies
which I've missed, books and EZY video rental has became my best friend.

Last weekend was well spent catching up 3 movies: Confessions of a shopaholic,
Role Models and Inkheart. Gavriel and I spent the Saturday noon swimming.
It's also his first time going swimming as my mom forbid me taking him swimming
when he was younger and she's such a paranoid, I must say.

It was super hilarious the moment I carried him into the pool. He refused to
let me go as his arms and legs were wrapped around me so tightly like a huge
magnet!

Oopss......I'm gonna sneeze!

Our sushi boy!

Went to Sunway Pyramid during lunch break to get my dad a birthday gift.
We decided to get him a perfume and my mom and my brother asked me
to pick one up for him. I got him The One by Dolce & Gabbana, I love that
scent so much as it's so vibrant and engaging, classic yet modern.....

It was frustrating and upsetting. I manage to buy parfume with my card and
the line couldn't get through when I was at Mango sales (MNG). I wanted to
get a pair of white shorts but all sizes and colours were sold out. I was there
just last week and it was plenty. Good thing I was there as most of the stuffs
were sold out by now.I left the shop empty handed and damn how I wish I
had my ATM card with me.

Happy Father's Day to all you dad out there. We had a small family gathering
in the comfort and cozy of our home. It's good that we get to avoid the crowd
at the restaurant and also a young tot from exposing to the crowd due to the
influenza was getting serious here.

Learning to pose for cam

Today he's already 15 months. He's always the centre of attention everywhere
he goes. He loves pretty girls. He enjoys looking at you putting make up and
dress up. He's all excited when he knows you're dressing him up and he will
take his shoes and head towards his stroller!

It's really a bad idea to dress all in black sans make-ups. I look so pale and ghostly.

Vote: Black hair VS Sunkissed coloured hair

I haven't seen my original colour hair which is dark brown towards black
for almost a decade. Which on you you think I look better in and what do
you think?

Black Sunkissed

3 vote- sunkissed

1 vote- black

Just fly me to the moon

Air fares are super cheap recently and it make it so tempting to take the
opportunity to travel and plan for holidays. Malaysia Airlines is having
Travel Fair for the past week for all- inclusive fares for 1 way

Kuala Lumpur - Los Angeles (From MYR 1898)
KL - New York (From MYR1098)
KL - Buenos Aires (From MYR 1908)
KL - Sydney (From MYR 818)
KL - Melbourne (From MYR 818)
KL - Auckland (From MYR 1208)
KL - Taipei (From MYR 398)
KL - Seoul (From MYR 598)
Kl - Tokyo (From MYR 668)

Such a good deal and I'm ashamed that I gonna let go such golden
opportunity. Anyhoo...does anyone dare to take the risk to travel?
Tempting isn't it???So do I.....

Please help these puppies

Ladies & Gentlemen, may I have your attention please.

News has been spread in our local daily since last week and we are truly
disgusted by the act of Pulau Ketam residents. It broke my heart each time
receive such news and people that are cruel towards animals.

Here are some updates I would love to share and show the whole world. This is
nothing proud of or to show of, but something got to be done to
STOP CRUELTY TOWARDS ANIMALS.

Please visit: http://www.mycen.com.my/sightings/sightings030509_pulau_ketam_dogs.html

Thank you & have a great day!

Barely have the time to do much in March and here comes April already. At least
we got to do some small celebrations and observed the earth hour on 28th Mar.

I don't plan to do this earth hour thingy for the sake of everyone is doing it together
in March as I do not find it effective by just doing it one time. What happen to the
next day, month and years? Or this is merely a campaign and we can forget it later.

Beside switching off any unused appliances, our household will switch off everything
not only on earth hour in the coming 2010 event or whatsoever but we will do it twice
on a monthly basis at least for an hour.

Since young I'm always fascinated with miniature stuffs and soon I became a
collector of miniature alcoholic beverage bottles and parfumes. As a kid, I love
collecting stickers and stamps. Guess I've chucked it somewhere inside my secret
box and am now still collecting 50 cent coins and damn it my previous maid had
stole it and I have to start over to fill my cookie jar.

Besides that, I do collect some of those shampoo, shower gel and moisturisesr
from our trip to Europe. Those are not ordinary shower essentials you get from
staying in hotel. One hotel does provide Crabtree & Evelyn in travelling size essential
and some were like those from The Bodyshop or L'OCCITANE.

During the time where my mom came over to stay with us, destroyed some of my
collector's item. I put the Bodyshop stuffs for her to use but she insisted on using
the Crabtree collection. And more geram-nya when she took one of the Crabtree
soap and only told me where she was about to leave, going into my dad's car.

Mom, if your reading my blog...I know you feel real bad now. Those are my
collections from my Europe trips lol. Please do me a favour next time.
Just let me know you prefer Crabtree to Bodyshop or L'OCCTANE stuffs
so I could get them before your next visit. Do not attack my collections without
my permission.

My lil' tot has turned 13 months now. Last weekend we went to the newly
open Tropicana mall and got him a little shopping cart at Toys R Us to push
around. Came back, we fix the toy and he got so fascinated with it and push the
cart zooming all around the house.

(will post some pics here soon!)

Prior to this, I would love to share and discuss something I found online pretty
interesting : 7 beauty looks that freak him out @ MSN lifestyle

We gals would always love to look our best and especially when we are attending
some special occasions we want the uber - glamourous styles. Chances is that we
may love certain styles but not everyone agrees that. Well, let us just look at some
critics below ( mind you these were critics from the guys):

Scary style # 1 - Super size hair

I used to find super size hair kinda sexy. I think it's more suitable for occasions
or photoshoots and it's a great do for people who wants to look taller or apear to
have more hair. " Hairspray, highlights, extensions - it's all too much." says Mike
22." I like women who keep it natural so that you can see the real person.

Scary style #2 - Layers of makeup

I personally find makeup is fine as long we do not go over- board. For day
or normal makeup, I agree to keep it simple than you can scratch an inch of
foundation out from the skin (look cakey). Our main purpose of makeup is to
cover up imperfection. " Too much powder and foundation makes me dread what's
underneath, and it implies high mainntenance," says LaSean 35.

Scary style #3 - clawlike nails

Neither did I have kept or fix that long nails. I too find it's difficult to anything
with that kind of nails especially putting on your lenses. "Really long nails are
frightening" says Shane, 22

Scary style #4 - Barely there brows

I would agree this. My mom has warn me this back in high school when I
begin to shape my eyebrows. Over plucked it or a thick tattoo is yucky.
" Skinny eyebrows aren't a turn on, " says Will, 27.

Scary style #5 - Cleopatra -worthy makeup

Wow..I can't wear that out either unless for runway lol. " You aren't Elizabeth Taylor
or Cleopatra, "says Paul, 23

Scary style # 6 - Over tanning

I love tanning. But not over do it till I look fresh from the oven! I'm
most afraid is uneven tanning. " I'm not into a girl if her skin looks like
a catcher's mitt," says Ron ,25

Scary style # 7 - Reflective lips

I must admit I love gloss. My hubby didn't complaint. I know some some gals
who didn't really like it too. " A little lip gloss is nice but too much can be trashy,"
says Jonathan, 36
