Ke-ray-zee

It has been a little crazy around the house for the past month. The super-keduper ‘Mensa IQ’ maid literally broke the toilet bowl! Some plumbing work to be done which includes changing of the whole toilet bowl in the master bedroom. The master bedroom was in a mess. Ok fine, we got that fixed.
Next, miraculously the hidden piping in the master bath burst leading to leakage in the water closet which leads to water seepage in our neighbor’s bedroom ceiling. Just like David Copperfield's magic trick. Cut the story short, another major hacking and plumbing works for 6 days, with water supply interruption and an unusable bathroom! (and I missed a gathering with some dear old friends). Now, the whole house was in a mess due to the construction. My Cambodian maid probably got numb to hearing me say 'fast fast clean clean".
It was like living in a 3rd world refugee camp with my 2 months old twins,... ok maybe I over exaggerated, but still, it literally drives me up the wall. I am a self proclaimed 'clean-aholic Queen'. My dear hubby could testify for that. If you asked my lil Aiden boy how was mummy handling it (and if he could understand), I am sure this expression will suffice. Nuff said.
I have submitted my resignation and starting a new job next month. I could only pray that all at the home front will be smooth. Clinging on to hope.... like clumpy mascara to eyelash, like the fat kid to ice cream, like the diarrhoea man to the toilet bowl.. ok too much info. Bye.

2 Weeks Wait

This is going to be the longest 2 weeks of my life!
Anxiety is nerve wrecking. Hubby has been so supportive and such a darling. This man really surprises me sometimes.... in a good way :D
Will be back soon.

Christmas spirit...?

* The Christmas tree is finally up, but
* we have not got around to decorating it yet (so, yes its just a green tree), although
* I have intention of making a Christmas wreath for the front door, still
* need to put that thought into action and
* still not making any plan for Christmas dinner, nor
* have any idea on Christmas gifts but
* I have time for another cup of coffee

Good Weekend

The last weekend has been very fruitful. Plenty has been accomplished over the few days of my domesticated life. But not sure if the calories burned will balanced out the calories consumed.
It started on Thursday afternoon:
Hubs went golfing with his buddies
Mom in law came over (I entertained with lots of chatting and gossiping)
I tried some new chicken stew recipe, did laundry, ironing & cleaning

Friday
Hubs & I took MIL shopping at Gurney Plaza (with more chit chat and juicy news)
Breakfast at Xuan Xin Restaurant (Delicious fried rice & Dim Sum)
Lunch at Manilla Place
Tea at some tea house selling bird nest drinks
Drop in at jewelers to check on the progress of my new solitaire ring setting
Some DIY project at home

Saturday
Had delicious hokkien mee for breakfast
Golfing with Hubby and brother at BJCC driving range
Car wash
More shopping at Queensbay (bought new swim wear)
Hub’s buddies came over for table tennis session
Had mee suah kor for dinner with black vinegar. It was good. I cant remember the last time I had this dish.

Sunday
Dear hubby was so sweet to scrub clean the bathroom (a chore that I intend to do) while I slept in (Too much FB games last nite) I love you darling!
Sinful nasi kandar lunch with lots of gravy
Visit cousin at hospital which led to a mini family gathering at the hospital cafetaria
Seafood dinner at Teluk Kumbar to celebrate dad’s birthday (Yummy crabs & beautiful sunset view)
Night swim (desperately need to try out new swim wear :P). It is very nice to have the whole pool to our selves.

I am exhausted... happily exhausted

Coffee Craze

I have coffee addiction. In my attempt to quit, I went cold turkey. I have stopped drinking coffee since 13 days ago. It was cold. I had my first cuppa this morning. Tasted kind of weird. It wasn't as good as I thought it would be anymore.
Drink Coffee, Do Stupid Things Faster with More Energy

Pot of Gold

Have you ever had days that seem to be filled with gloomy times ahead? Troubled water and uncertain cloudy hazy sky? Well, that was exactly how I was feeling for the past two days...a puddle of mud for God knows what reason.
I needed some lifting of the moody spirit. Hubs tried silly jokes to cheer me up. And with some bonding session with the funny siblings (who can literally make me laugh till I cry), all seem to be better.
The water is clearer; the clouds have parted revealing blue skies. The spirit been lifted. No days too dark, no problems too big in the embrace of warm love. In every conceivable manner, the family is link to our past, bridge to our future. The love of a family is life’s greatest blessing.
I leave you with some sweet yummy looking cookies :) Have a good weekend ahead!

Bedside Manners

How often do you make your bed? Is it as common as a blue moon or a must like breathing air…not the best analogy, but you get my point. It really varies with individuals, but for me it’s a routine that needs to be done daily. And by that I mean DAILY, even if it’s 9pm. I go berserk with unmade bed.
Due to the fact that we start our days at different time, Me; the destined early riser does not have the ‘privilege’ to making bed in the morning. Hubby is still having his beauty sleep when I leave the house for work. On good days, dear hubby will attempt to arrange the pillows and the quilt making it presentable, while on his lazy days… lets just say he enjoys the efficiency of crawling into an unmade bed. These are the days that I make the bed in the evenings… after coming home from work… just like a couple of hours before bedtime. Yea, I am THAT neurotic. I for one believe that a freshly made bed is equivalent to a start of a brand new day or night…. Or perhaps it’s just an excuse for my obsessive behavior

Groovy Kind of Love

When I'm feeling blue, All I have to do
Is take a look at you
Then I'm not so blue
When you're close to me
I can feel you heart beat , I can hear you breathing
In my ear
Wouldn't you agree?
Baby, you and me got a groovy kind of love

Any time you want to , You can turn me on to
Anything you want to , Any time at all
When I kiss your lips , Ooh, I start to shiver
Can't control the quivering inside
Wouldn't you agree?
Baby, you and me got a groovy kind of love

When I'm in your arms , Nothing seems to matter
My whole world can shatter
I don't care
Wouldn't you agree?
Baby, you and me got a groovy kind of love
We got a groovy kind of love
