Polling station

The Malaysian General Election is coming, have you check where is your polling station yet? Just go here to check with your Identity Card number (without the hyphen). The best is to print it out and bring it to the polling station on that day, else might have to wait in the que for checking again.

Remember to be there on the 8th March and do your job as a citizen, don’t let others do the selection for you. Choose your own candidate or choose the right party (if you are more concern on which party to win).

Don’t forget, 8th March, get there and cross it!

Over the weekend

Finally our road has been properly sealed and it is so much nicer to drive up and down the hill and it seems like second, which compare to the old road which we need to be careful of those holes and our absorber that we need to drive carefully up and down. Now we were saying we need to be careful when getting down hill else we’ll end up in the river down there below!

This was taken on last Saturday while the workmen came to unfasten the wood on the side of the road. My two boys being curious made themselves available as surveyor at the beginning of the work.

Later of the day, the boys got into the oversize boots that belongs for my parents and couldn’t care less about getting dirty or hard to walk. Just seeing them enjoying the mud was fun for me and those smile and laughter are worth more than the jackpot.
Childhood, a time to enjoy the simple day to day fun.

Song from Awie

To some of you, I might be just a Chinese girl who only listens to Chinese songs or English songs, but I do listen to Malay songs and I have a few favourites actually :D

Here is one that I came across today by Awie - Tiada lagi. It is a sad one, but the tunes just keep on swinging in my head once I listen to it. This song is especially memorable due to an ex-colleague of mine who loves this song and he used to just sing it in front of us, all we did was teasing him and said that he had spoiled the song.. hahaa.. well.. it was only joking.

I can remember well on the chorus:

tiada lagi yang ku harapkan, tiada lagi yang ku impikan, biar aku sendiri tanpa diri mu.. tiada lagi kata cinta ku, tak kan lagi ku bersama mu, biar ku simpan semua kenangan ku bersama mu…

This song is made available in “Awie & Amy: ikon rockerz terunggul” album.

Well.. I dedicate this song to all the broken hearted, but I would advice you all to listen to happy songs instead of sad one when you are feeling down.

Half way done

PhotobucketHopefully today the road can be done and nicely seal. We had to leave our cars on the hill since the cement is not fully dried yet. So it is another adventure experience for Mer as I carried him down half way then my dad took over. As for this morning, Cal has to miss his class today since my dad can’t fetch him from school, his car is stranded in the garage.
This morning we had to wear Phua Chu Kang sort of boots to go up the hill ‘cos it is very slippery and I don’t want to have muddy butt to get to the office. This time I had to carry Mer all the way up. Well.. at least the two boys are having fun seeing all this happening and experiencing how a road is being seal from the beginning.

Muddy road

PhotobucketWe are having our road mended and hopefully it can be done today since we had been having rainy days these few days and past weeks. We had it flatten and since it is not gravel yet.. so it is very slippery and I almost stuck half way the day before. This morning I had to get my dad to pull my car up using his 4WD. Mer was excited to see all this activities and he was sitting next to me. So I suppose this is his fresh experience for having our car tow/pulled by another car in front.
As for Cal, he is having his holiday today since it is Chap Goh Mei. Normally it would be very hard to get him up and out from the bed in the morning, but not today. Today, he got up all by himself and earlier than always. Maybe that’s the thing ya.. that he is not going to school, so that’s why he wakes up early to see what’s going on especially on the truck that has been parked in the compound for a few days now. He even wanted to climb up and play with the gear. That means I’ll have to always watch over him just in case he really move the whole truck!

How did I celebrate my V day

Well.. nothing much actually since hubby is not around, he left the day before to Shen Zhen, China. No flowers, no chocolate, no candy, but I’ve got a not so valentine card from Mer. He made it in school, of course with instructions from the teacher and he only did the glittering parts. He doesn’t understand what is V Day, not yet.. I didn’t explain either.
One thing out of my expectation is, he said: “等下我們去結婚” = ‘later we go get married”. hahaha.. from a 2-and-a-half-year-old boy. PhotobucketBut Mer, I can’t marry you, ‘cos I’m married to baba.. without giving up, he continues to asked me why .. how sweet..
My day continue on with the normal routine.. getting home for dinner which already prepared by my mom, then get the boys a bath each, then bed time story which the boys love and won’t miss it every night. After they are sleeping, that’s when my creative day begins, I enter into my scrapbooking world. Did a page about Mer but still haven’t put in the journaling. Gonna post it up later in “The Daily“.
That’s about it, my valentine’s day with kisses from my two sons, which is enough to make my day.
Happy belated Valentine’s Day and hope we all treat our everyday as our Valentine’s Day.

My hope to you

I always wonder if my boys are behaving normally in terms of playtime and characters. They seem to always in fighting mode. One is always teasing the other and the other always scream so loud that it hurts my ears. Well.. normally Cal is the one who loves to teas or get on Mer’s nerve. Pushing him, grab his toys away, bump his tricycle, telling him things that he can’t take, chasing him with the bicycle etc.

I found that Mer’s cousin also doing that to him, he loves it especially when he had snatch toys from Mer’s bag or hand or when Mer has walked away to get something else. hmm… I wonder why..

As for Mer, he got panic very fast and straight away scream once he found out that his toys have been taken away, his responded by shouting and sometimes hitting his elder brother and also his cousin. This of course doesn’t happen if he is playing by himself, he can just play for a long time without making many noises. He just occupied himself with all his toy cars and arranges them in order.

I wish two of you (Cal and Mer) would play together more, would share more and would trust each other more. I hope you compete less with each other, ‘cos you always wanna get my attention at the same time, competing on who gets the milk bottle first, who finished it first, who got more toys.. etc. I hope you two would become best of friends who shares your joy and sorrow together, I hope you love each other more everyday and standby each other side.

This is my hope to you…

Be positive

After listening to the audiobook - The Secret by Rhonda Byrne, which I’ve mentioned in my other blog, I then keep on telling or reminding myself to think positively, have happy thoughts and look at the good side of things, focus on the positive side of other people, and just be happy.
So all the while I was right, the news today contains all sad or negative news and I sometimes resist in reading them. A bad habit maybe for a librarian but still, whenever I read news, I tried to scan through first and try to ignore those negative news such as murder, accident, rape, poverty etc. And start reading those humour comic!
There are some questions being pondered in the audiobook. One that catches my ears is: Do what you love, If you don’t know what brings you joy, ask: “What is my joy”. As you commit to your joy, you’ll attract an average joyful things, because you are radiating joy.” I hope I hear it clearly.

On another account, I went to “Four Season” in Asia City Complex for lunch with hubby today. Being adventurous, we just walked in after seeing that there are some crowds in there. Surprisingly their respond in getting our order is slow and they don’t have the menu for us to pick just like yo-yo ice. And the food? Oh well.. not up to my expectation, the porridge is not hot, the source is too sweet, but their “har gao” got fresh prawn and one of the waiter (the only Chinese) gave us good service. What I’m disappointed is that they don’t have toilet available inside the premise.
well.. to focus on the good side, as least the “har gao” is nice :D

On board

This is last year photo of the boys on board to the plan to Hong Kong and then to ShenZhen, where we had spent our Christmas and New Year.
My boys.. When they are on board, they enjoyed it, the pressure doesn’t put them into bad mood, the journey doesn’t fret them. For the outbound journey, they had been goody-goody all through. Well.. As usual, they still fight, fortunately not until I can’t control the situation. Mer slept half of the journey while me and cal had our food. Thank God that there are empty seats behind us, so there is where I’ve settle Mer in for his nap. However once Cal finished his food, he made some loud noise that woke Mer up.. still.. I did manage to have my food :D

PhotobucketHere.. the two sweetie pie snuggling up on board. I wish my every journey on board are like this one, with two jolly happy sweetie-pie.

Got lots to tell him, lots to share about, lots of places and things to show him too, especially my scrapbook pages that I’ve done. Hope he’ll love them and won’t mind me continueing this hobby of mine. oh.. and big apple donut!
Well.. this is the time that he can spend with our sons.. the two boys who have been looking forward to see their papa .. maybe even more than me.. maybe he is their hero.. well.. they are still too young to express that yet.. but I bet they’ll still look for me once came bed time, or story time, or bath time.. basically anytime other than the rough play time.
