Glad to be here

Ya.. tomorrow will be it. I might not be able to load any photo here starting tomorrow till end of the month. Hubby said his notebook got virus and it is not advisable to connect my digicam there. *sign*

I’ll be missing all my scrapbooking and craft. I’ve just read a book about making bags, buoy they are so beautiful and I thought to myself, “hey, I could make some of these…” But then it will just have to be when I’m back here, then only I can start looking for the suitable clothes, or maybe I can start looking while I am over in China, will see.

Like usual, I still haven’t pack. I’ve started, but not fully pack yet. The luggage is fill with stuff like milk formula for the kids, hubby spirulina cereal, some clothes and that’s it. There are still lots to put in, like my must 3-step facial care, my toothbrush, sensodym toothpaste and maybe a scrapbook magazine to cure my boredom.

Adios.. oh well.. not really.. I’m sure I’ll still be online even tomorrow *Grin*.

“You know what? I thought I saw you the other night in a pub!”

I do believe that I have 6 other almost the same faces around the globe, be it in different age, place or time. But it was a surprise for me when my colleague told me this years ago. He even said that he almost approach “me”!

I’ve also got friends telling me that I look like certain people, some from Chinese TV series!
To me, if a total stranger came up to me and said “You look exactly like my friend.” I will just look at him and smirk, then turn around and probably go to my friends, if that is a guy. If that is a woman, I may answer and start talking to her. But to use that as a pick up line, I would think that it is very lame.

Still later on, I would start thinking if that is something to do with my hair style. I may start to think that I’ll change my hairstyle to victory Hair
There is actually an online site that offer you to Extreme Style by VO5.

This thing doesn’t happen now a days. No one come up to me and chat me up or start with any pick-up line that I can remember, probably to have some fun, I’ll play that Ultimate Flirting Championship later.

But do I really look like someone else? Most of the time, those Chinese TV series player doesn’t a bit look like me! They are more glamorous or sassy. I’m just one simple mom to two boys. I start to think I don’t need to change my hair style just because someone told me I look like someone else. I would change if I feel it would suits me better.

All of us (me and two sons) will be going off to visit hubby again this Thursday. Yippy yay! Well, and also, “oh no!” because I’ll surely be having headache when taking off and landing. I don’t like that feeling, it is like my head is going to explode anytime. I just hope that the boys will be fine and they’ll stay put in their seat, take their mean onboard and stay quiet along the journey. Little Mer has been very loud lately. When we were over to my in-law’s place, our house is the noisiet! The whole village can hear us!

Mer is the little one, and yet he got the loudest voice. He’ll be grumpy if things that he wants cannot be met, or his big brother is bullying him. I just wish that he can talk softer or just be quiet abit. I don’t remember that he was that loud when he was a baby. He just love being in his cradle that my mom love to put him inside. He used to sleep in there. I actually love to watch him sleep, so peaceful.

I do have crib bedding for him while he slept there at night and he loves to look at those animal prints. I’m still using the crib bedding now a day to prevent him from bumping his head on the bed side.

Well, traveling time is near and I got to prepare things for the boys, their clothes, milk, and overall preparing them for travel. As for China VISA, we can stay up to 15 days when we go in. That is still alright for us as we won’t stay that long. Hoping to do some shopping this time especially getting some clothes for the boys, they have out grown their pants!

A really crazy weekend for me. I tried to finished off two ruffle skirts! And I did!

I saw this nice ruffle skirt pattern online that I can copy and do a bit of sewing using this old Singer sewing machine that I borrowed from my sister. It is old, but still functioning pretty well. It is being converted into electrical sewing machine by my clever uncle.

First one I did was the exact pattern or size from online. I thought to myself I can make this for my niece, but it turns out that it is too small for her, it can only fit maybe 3 to 4 year old little girl. Luckily I’ve bought some other pattern cotton clothes with 10% from Home & Garden as they are having this closing down sale. They are still expensive though. I didn’t know cotton clothes can be this expensive, the price range from RM32 - RM47 per metre! Never the less, I still bought extra, just love the simple pattern. So I’ve made another 2nd ruffle skirt and this time is really for my niece and I make sure that it fits her. *Grin*

This is the first ruffle skirt I made with lots of err.. mistakes .. and I’m not so good in sewing .. so it is not perfect.

This one is for my niece but discovered that the 2nd tier is just too long, so I’ve altered it and let the white colour pattern stays on top. So it becomes:

So this is the final product. By the time I’m done with it, my sis and family were all gone home, so no chance to let my niece bring it back last night. Oh well, she can always have it when they come to visit again on Sunday.

Mom actually teasing me that I’m making skirt for my unborn daughter like she is going to arrive today *LOL* Once I got started with it, I just couldn’t stop. I just had to finished it and show it to my sister *Grin*.

So there, my not so first project of sewing, ‘cos I’ve done an apron before, even that also with old machine and lousy sewing skill. I’m still thinking if I should get an Epal sewing machine which comes with free classes for a year!

This post suppose to be out before “5 years ago”. But it has been in my draft folder all the while, so here goes..

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Big Aunt: “What did you do with your hair!?”

Cal: … (with a big grin and mischievious look on his face)

That’s what happened if I let my scissors laying around in the scraproom and that’s what happened if you’ve got a son who do things with guts! He cut his own hair! One big bunch infront. So now there is this one big “hole” on his forehead with really short hair!

Later he explained how he had cut his hair, he was even so proud of it when the teacher asked him this morning. We were teasing him and ask him to cut his own hair without needing to go to the salon, I bet he’ll do it without hesitation if we encouragement him.. adui..

We had a really simple birthday celebration for Cal, black forest cake with candles, that’s it. The cake doesn’t even tasted nice to my taste bud. Will not order the same one again fron ConsFood. But he had fun! The boys love it! I suppose anything with candles on will amazed them.


Did you notice the “white” area in front of his head? Yup, those big bunch!! The scar of his forehead is from a fall on Sunday when we all have tried to stop him from playing on the road down the hill, sentences haven’t finished and yet it happened (This is really Chinese way of saying). The teddy bear is from his grandma (My MIL) and the air-plane is from his teacher, not bad huh.. got gift from teacher some more *grin*  As for mommy and daddy’s gift is actually a bicycle for him from his effort in saving some money for being good boy in finishing his homework and sleep early. I can only get the bike on Saturday, he surely going to love it.

As for my sister who are flying back to Hong Kong today, they all are being strainded in the airport now for Hong Kong is having a bad weather with Signal 8! Typhoon!! But they’ve all checked-in and just have to wait for a clear weather.

~*~*~*~*~*~*

Good to know that they have already safely return to Hong Kong with the mid-night flight on that day and they have been given a free stay in Beverly Hotel while waiting for their flight. It means more shopping for them, but I guess shopping here cannot be compare to Hong Kong.

The boys are still eager to ride on their bike. Little Mer still ask if he can ride his bike early in the morning!

I was actually teasing him that he and Cal had a road accident and need an adjuster to solve their case together with the traffic police. Surely he doesn’t understand what I mean by adjuster but he knows what is a policeman. When I ask if it is okay to let the police take Cal away since he was the one who bumped into his bike, he was strongly against it. I was so glad to hear that. At least it let me know that eventhough they have been fighting most of the time, he still prefer his brother around. I guess it is really natural that “blood thicker than water” huh!?

I bet he’ll ask me not to park my car in the front area again later. Talking about accident, well, if you wanted to compare auto insurance quotes, do check it out here.

Yup, that’s what the boys get, a new set of wheels for each of them. Cal get a new bike as the old one is too short for him. As for little Mer, he really did get a new set of wheels, only the wheels as the old one has broken.

It happened like this, Cal got his new bike on Saturday after getting him to tried it out in the shop. I was looking for even higher one, but he is not that tall yet, so he is getting one that is just nice for him and have room to improve. At the same time, I’ve got a new pair of spare wheels for Mer, for he doesn’t know how to ride on a bike yet, so he needs the supporting wheels.

Two of them were having so much fun riding, chasing each other, but little Cal bumped into Mer’s bike and break the wheel! Well, Mer’s bike is actually an old one from Cal, so he has been left there for some times and the plastic wheels has harden, so it broke!

I had to get him new one else he won’t have any bike to ride on, and it was dreadful for him. I got them changed to a new sets of wheel plus the hand-brake handle changed. Mer is absolutely loving his “new” bike now. The first thing he asked in the morning was if he can ride on them *LOL* He even instructed me to park my car outside, so that he can use the front porch to ride his bike! No one can park there, even big Yi-Yi also have to give way *LOL*

The boys not only getting new wheels, they also got new hair-cut! Since Cal cut or chop off his hair in front and looks like a “hole” infront, I brought him for a hair-cut which really shorten his hair. Both of them looks like monk now *LOL* I must said Mer got a rounder head and he looks nicer with bold head. As for Cal, his head shape is flatter, so he looks a bit odd. Well, have to wait till it gets longer.
When I got my camera out on Sunday night, Cal wanted to take photos with me, so this is how it turns out:

I must say he likes to make funny faces in front of the camera.

“When I look at you, and I know it’s gonna be… a lovely day… (lovely day, lovely day ..)”

*LOL* Both me and little Cal love this song that came up in the TV commercial. He then ask me to sing along with him, especially as the back-up singer. This was exactly what happened years ago between me and a friend whom I met in UK during my study years. Both of us would keep on singing “lovely day” and one will drag on and see how much longer can we sing, it was fun!

Only just this morning, Lite FM were playing “Don’t forget the word” and the song goes “Get out of my dreams! And get into my car!” It was another song that I had my radio in top volumn. There are so many nice songs in Lite FM, maybe it shows how old I am, but really, those were the songs that accompanied me all this while and I start to fall in love with Lite FM *LOL*.

At the moment, I’m getting myself busy uploading my scrapbook layout to Memorable Seasons’ online gallery hoping that I’ll get pick to be in their designer team for September. It is just fun to play with free kits, isn’t it? I’m also trying out challenges online that offer random acts of kindness (RAK) or with gift! On the other hand, I’m also busy trying to get some more stamps for my card business in Etsy. I hope to get more sales and add up my Paypal account to get more scrapbook things, it is really a cycle, isn’t it? And surely hope there is no balance transfer to be done in my credit card!

Five years ago today I gave birth to a healthy boy, weighted 3.6kg! Today he is officially five! Goodness, where have all the time goes? I still remember clearly holding him, seeing him the first time, seeing his birthmark and thinking that why there is a pieace of stool on his knee *LOL*. Waiting patiently for his first stool before discharging myself from the general hospital. I spent a night in the hospital sharing the same bed with my little one, and being a first time mom, I was so afraid to fall asleep just in case he needed anything!

After that was history full of adventures, surprises and most of the time disciplining him to be a good little boy. Happy Birthday Cal! Mommy got a cake for you tonight!

You may have gotten lots of unique baby gifts during your celebration when you were one-month-old, but the only thing that is still visible everyday now is the car seat given by mommy’s friends from church. But you yourself is my precious gift from the Father above. Happy 5th Birthday my dear!

Just the other morning my mom shouted and annouced of her new discovery. “The flowers are blooming!!”
What flower can make my mom got so excited? I quickly got out from my bed, walk towards where she pointed and saw these:

These are dragon fruit’s flowers!
No wonder why she got so excited. It means pretty soon we all can have its fruit! As always, her favourite grandson (little Mer) loves dragon fruits, so she also got excited. Hopefully we will see more of that and have plenty to eat!
It is actually a very good fruits, some even says that they are good as acne treatments!
