Bodoh-nye Aku!!

My oh my, nearly pissed in my pants, when my boss told me that she's read my blog yesterday!!! Let's all say it together....WHAT THE FUCKKKK???? And as most of you who know me, will realize that this stupidity is not beyond me! Sigh...Mampus aku!

So, K. Gee if you are reading this I am doing work ok, cuma at times nak kena lepas tension sikit ye :-) And bila you ready nak start blog you, just let me know and I can help, okayyy, boss!? Btw, do excuse my language, but I think it's best you know the "real" me, but shall we just keep this between ourselves?! As well as whatever is shared in here, shall continue to remain in the blogspace :-D

You are the best! Honest, tak mengampu here :-DD

I just blame on the fact that I colored my hair over the weekend...I think red is still blonde for me!

Something on my mind

Just needed to get this off my mind before I start work...yea right! Like I ever start doing work, kan?

Anyways, my MIL's maid ran away last Thursday night, and it just so happened that me and family were staying over then. So, when we found out (at least me and the kids, the rest knew that night itself) in the morning, Izz was quite upset about the maid running away. Not that he was especially close to her, but he was just confused coz he was hearing the discussion about her running away and stealing stuff from the house. Just before this the driver also quit over night, but not before stealing stuff as well. So, being 5, how do I explain to him why people do bad things?

Like this morning he asked me when Kak Ida (the runaway maid) is coming back, and I had to explain that when people ran away they don't come back coz they did something bad. I also had to explain why these people, who were close to us, stole stuff. Sigh...so very the difficult. When he watches CSI, etc. (yes I do let him watch CSI, but with certain reasons and logic wic I shall not explore...suffice to say he is well-balanced with Disney and AXN), I can easilly explain what happens and at the end of the day it's just acting. But when it's real life, and it's closer to home, how do I explain?

But it's interesting to see how a child's mind work, and whatever we do explain do sink it as I can see him relate it to different scenarios, or I hear him telling it like a story to other people. And he is not "judging", he just accepts the explanation. Let's hope our maid continues to do the good job she is doing (I am very well behaved with this maid - no yelling/scolding, etc.), and she doesn't disappoint him like these other people have.

BTW - I've been tagged by Lara. But will get to that later as I need to empty my bag...:p. Woo hoo more excuses not to do work!

Because of YOU....

...my morning is a breeze! At least for the month, until they start charging the toll! Those who are out of KL, FYI - SMART Tunnel is finally open! It opened last week, and since last Wednesday my mornings have never been the same! It's such a breeze from Mines to my office - 30 mins, beb!

No more rushing off after dropping the baby at Mines...actually can stop by and have some breakfast! I am so spoiled now...leaving at 830, and still can stroll in my office without breaking a sweat, as opposed to cursing all the way, rushing and figuring out what my excuse would be for today!

We also tried taking the tunnel to BTS. It was cool, but quite claustrophobic because it was soooo long. I kept getting flashes of the movie Daybreak! But to think that we have something like this...a real multi-carriage hi-way is quite cool!

I may even can get full attendance for this month...woo hoo...off the blacklist I am!

Family Break

End of last month we took the kids to Kuantan on OUR OWN!! We always had my parents whenever we went on holidays to help cover with the kids. But this time they were on to us, and cleverly kept quiet when I told them we were gonna take the kids away to Kuantan. Guess they learned their lesson...I even tried to get Izz to convince his Mak Tok...but nope, she didn't fall for it!

Anyways, it still ended up being a good break...exhausting for the parents, but seeing the kids having a blast really made up for the exhaustion...or could it be the ring and pendant I got when we detoured to Habib Ampang...hmmm...

It took us 1 day to kinda recover from the shock of having to fully care and feed the kids on our own coz the first night when the kids went to bed at 9, so did we! But our second night was good...we spent it hanging out on the patio, and we just talked for a couple of hours! This is what I've been telling DH...we may not get to go for the romantic holidays just two of us (not that we did that often before we had kids), but it's just that our lives now have evolved, and we need to adjust to that life. We chose it so we need to make it work. There is really no point in comparing what we had vs. what we have...we'll always be disappointed, kan!? It's all about managing expectations.

I guess it also helped that we are not like the typical couple that go away on our own all the time. I think the only time we went away the two of us was for our honeymoon. Other times we went away with his family or my family. I've always preferred holidaying with people as opposed just the two of us....more fun that way. Think he agrees with me, but makes a big deal about no personal time just to test me :-P

But he knew what I was like when he married me...I am not one for romance, etc. Kan aku ni minah kering! Anyways, we've had our trial, and if I may say so myself, we passed brilliantly! So in Sept, we may do a short break in Genting, and next year hopefully BALI, baby!!

Diamonds...oohhh I looove!

Woo hooo!! Went and got some new presents for myself, and this time courtesy of DH!! I soooo loooveee diamonds! I dunno when I started liking jewelry! I am not a diamond connoisseur...I just like them shiny and relatively big! As long as they look good on my finger, and they shine, I am a happy girl. I become like a kid in a candy store when I am in a jewelry store (I seem to have some affinity with Habib Jewels lately). And my weakness is rings...I LOVE them all...all shapes, sizes and designs!! I can resist everything else but not rings...it's like in my head all I hear is I WANT! I WANT!, and basically I just go YES! YES!

Anyways, you can just go to my flickr to see my latest additions, which includes a new ring, and I am hoping to go back sometime in June for an even bigger purchase (it's gonna be a ring!!)...that is if my bank account can support the buy, and DH will allow and help contribute...hehehehe!

But may be the voice of reason will come to me in between and make me realize that I should save that money for my kids, but for now the shiny bright stone is clouding my rational thought...a girl can always dream, kan? kan? Sigh...
