This is one very 'un-necessary' toy which hubby bought for Oscar. Ignore the date on the photo ok... This thing or shall I call it the Igloo, occupies almost one quarter of our house! But Oscar likes it, so we have to play along. We have to take turns to go in to 'visit' him in his 'new house'!!
I was really busy last two week. Last two weeks was because we have a new staff and lots of training to be done. Actually the reason she is here is to help ease me off some of my workload. I am very overload so I badly need one assistant. I think I scare her abit with what I do at work so I think next week I need to slow down and let her take a break.
Then last week was auditing week, so two external auditors came. Again, this will for sure involves me. So running around to assist them (this time the external auditors not so experienced). Then my office has got tonnes of enquiries to be attend to.
Last but not least, my pc in office finally died on me while I was finishing some major important report!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Damn........., so I requested for one and it came on Friday. Very efficient la.... Its a DELL.......... muaharharhar..... will be able to go online again next week. But will try not to stay online for too long in office nowadays. I find blogging very very addictive!! So will blog at home instead.
Really need to get back to my work now............
Yippeeee, up and running at last.
Yes, talking about my streamyx at home. Its a really long wait but now its all worth it.
So, expect to blog more this time round after my audit..... yes, busy now cos is auditing period for my office. So during the day I will have to do more of accounts and assist the external auditor and bring my office work at home.
So, please stay tune ok.......... got to go.......
I dont believe this!! I still haven't got my phone line up despite of applying for it for 4-working days!!!!! Why, they so busy one ah? So many lines to install meh?
So, hubby called them and asked. You know what is their 'stupid-i-est' answer? "Minta maaf ya, sekarang kita sudah habis telefon unit. Tak tau baru punya stock sampai bila. Kena tunggu la encik. Kalau encik ada spare punya telefon, boleh kita pinjam dan pasang la"!!!! @#$%&@#$$$%&**
WHAT!!! Please la, Telekom is already private liow ma, how come act like some 'gaumen' office one??!! So 'cheh kai' one......
So, today I am bringing one spare phone from my office to 'LEND' it to our 'YOUR-CALL-IS-VERY-IMPORTANT-TO-US people!!!! And I hope the people who is installing our 'SCREAMYX' dont give me such 'gila/mad/insane/out of the world' excuse like.......... 'we already ran out of modem' or 'we are so busy, we can't do it immediately, you have to wait till die-kingdom come then only we can install' kind of excuse!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Waiting........and waiting.......and more waiting.....!!!
What am I waiting for? I am STILL waiting for the Telekom ppl to come fix our telephone line la!!!! And then have our Streamyx install and .....woot, then I can go online at the comfort of my own home. Then I can blog more........ I really feel that this blogging hobby and reading other ppls blog really keep my sanity in check la. This morning after the meeting I was so so so so stress!!! I can't imagine someone with such an inteligence would voice out such S**T suggestion!! Ok , I dont want to rant on that issue anymore. As long as the suggestion is not written down in black and white, then I think I should be more positive. (Will probably blog on this once I calmed down!!)
And another thing, my camera again did not up load my photos properly so I can't post the photos of the beautiiiiifulllll rings that Allyfeel made for me. I am wearing one now. Very pretty, strongly recommended. I wonder when will her site be up...... hehe then can order online.
Nothing much happened to us over the weekend except shopping and more shopping. Just groceries shopping only...... Planned to go to Ikea this weekend cos I need to get a new cooking wok. Aiyo, still asking hubby to get me one oven la. I really want one so that I can make cakes and muffins for oscar. My little boy keep on asking for cakes whenever he sees one. So I tot of baking one for his birthday la... I know, its another 3 months but well, need to practive ma. Must be extra 'teh' to hubby already in order to get one!! He keep on saying aiyo, our microwave can bake what....... but I lost the manual already ma, so how to bake leh when I dont know how to use it... man.......
Oh well, I am off for lunch now. Cross my fingers and hope that today our telephone line will be up........
I was so sick on Monday evening.... dont know why all of a sudden in the afternoon in office, my body shivers and cold sweat roll down my cheeks.... I know something wrong already. Then drank lots of water and sat quitely at my desk.... Just hoping it will go away cos I really don't want to ruin my holiday the day after......
So, came 5,30 and its time for me to fetch Oscar from mom's place. Still sick and confirmed I have got the fever and flu.... Suddenly like that also can!!! Then fetched Oscar home and I took a quick shower and lie down on the sofa while looking at Oscar watched his telly.... Hubby was working late that day so I was left alone in the house. Luckily mom packed some dinner for me but I was too sick to eat only managed to eat some rice.... Then lied on the sofa like a dead corpse.... Oscar saw me sick and sneezing, he took the whole box of tissue for me and took me his blanket........ Aww, my little boy is taking care of me...... Then, Oscar felt bored, and began to ask for his juice and biscuit. I pull myself up from the couch and brought him his orange juice and some cheese crackers...... and I had some too.......... Immediately, my throat is so painful, its like I am dying like that!!!!! At the same time, Oscar have to spill his water and also wants to go 'pang sai'!!!!!!! Ama........ was like so weak liow la me.... clean up the mess Oscar made and washed his little back side and then to the couch again. Looked at the clock, damn, only 9pm.... still early to put Oscar to bed cos mom said he slept until 4.30 that day....... Again, Oscar did something which made me shouted and screamed!!!! He just stood there looking at me...... I felt so bad but I really couldn't help it. He tore the mag and also pull off the stickers on his toys..... and he sticks the sticker everywhere on the wall of the house...... Mad la me...... but after the shouting I hugged Oscar and told him I was so sorry and because Mommy is not well, so mommy mood no good... To my surprise, he understood and he took his small pillow and lie down on the floor and we were like that until 10 something.... time for him to sleep now...... Me too, I think before Oscar doze off, I already tidur liow.............
Luckily, the next morning I was OK and hubby took care of Oscar the whole morning. I slept until noon ma......... Then hubby 'ta pau' lunch and also he fed Oscar. So I did nothing yesterday, only some house chores, light ones of course. In the evening, hubby again said no need to cook... eat out wor.... yippeeee.
Ok, that is all that happened yesterday. Hope to be more productive this weekend....
Its 4.20pm when I started this post. Raining heavily outside, needed a break after completing some accounting stuff and boss not around so again I steal some time to blog. Listening to Leslie Cheung's CDs now and lots of flashback la.....
I still remember clearly when I went for his last concert here in Malaysia. I die die also q up for the tickets and arrived extra early at the stadium... When he appeared, I was like shouting my lungs out for him cos we sat quite near so good view. I was sooooo mesmerised by his voice and his looks......... From far I can tell that he aged, but gracefully and still as handsome as he can be. That time I went with hubby, he is also quite crazy about him. It was a night to remember for our entire live.
Now that Leslie is gone, what is left now is my countless numbers of CDs, VCDs, MTVs, DVDs and lots of news paper articles about him....... Yes, I am that 'Chi Sin' about Leslie one........ Now even Oscar knows his songs cos I played it so often...... Oscar's famous for impersonating Leslie's Monica..... haha.
If there is other bloggers who are as crazy as me, can log on to this link to listen to him and lots of pics.....
http://www.leslie-cheung.net
Oscar in his swimming trunks!Those are the words blurted out by hubby last night after I went for a mad groceries shopping with Oscar and without him...... True enough, I am not a good shopper! I am a compulsive buyer and a crazy shopper........
Last night I went to the Giant to perform 3-tasks; 1st buy milk powder for Oscar, 2nd to buy the cheap cheap motorbike advertised in the newspaper yesterday for Oscar and 3rd to exchange my shopping points so that I can convert it to rebate vouchers.
So, me and Oscar went despite of the rain. Parked our car and quickly went to the toys section with anticipation I can still get that motobike, noooooooooooooooo, they sold out already!!!!!!!!!! Very disappointed!!! The staff said today a lot of ppl came to get this liow so no more lor!!!!! Damn!
Then head to buy groceries, which I always ended up buying a lot of doubles! Managed to get Oscar's milk poweder too........ Then, walk around 'sumore', buy more things (Jazz's right, want to buy 3 things, ended up the whole trolley full!). After 2 hours spent in the hypermarket, we decided to pay and go home. The we lined up at this cashier and waited........... The came my turn. Putting things onto the counter for the cashier to scan and occasionally telling Oscar to put the eggs down or don't squeeze the bread or dont' open the biscuits etc etc.... Got very distracted and totally forgot about my rebates!!!! Arrghh, I then told the cashier I have these 'boucher' for rebates but its too late liow, the debit slip is out and she can't do anything. But suggested me to go in again to buy MORE things!!!! For one second I tot 'What? Again, siow la....... then I need a MPV to carry my stuff liow"........... Then, without thinking and really WITHOUT THINKING, I gave away my discount vouchers to the gentleman behind me!!! Then when I gave him already and well, ok ler, he looks like a nice Malay chap with wife and buying baby stuff, then only I realised, "Sh*t, I would have bought additional Pantene Shampoo(like maybe 2 more bottles) and more shower gell with that if I just go in again"!!!!!!! Double Sh*t and Damn....... Cursing for my own stupidity now. Felt regret and at the same time burning with anger with MYSELF.. Are you nuts or kuukuuu already. Those are money and with that money can get more stuff and I just gave it away!!!! sigh.............. sigh.....
Then I head home and relate the whole story to hubby with anticipation that he will comfort me. But noooooooooooo, that man just laughed and said "You are not a good shopper!"............. Damn.. You see la, cannot bring kids out for shopping one right? This weekend I am going for Retail Therapy, not sure if I am bringing Oscar or not...........
Yesterday, I tried to leave office at 6 sharp so that I can make it home before dark to take Oscar for a walk. But office work is just too much for me, I left at 6.45, when I reached mom's place, my dad (Oscar's Ah Kung) took him for a walk already.......... I saw Oscar grinning happily cos Ah Kung bought him sweets and Vitagen....
Sometimes, I really wish that I could be an SAHM. To work at home "SOHO" or better still, no need to work la. But, after a while, I will be very detached from the outside world, then all my fashion sense and my sense of humour my everything will be OUT-DATED!!! Arrggghhh! But deep down in me, I am willing to sacrifice for Oscar. Nowadays, kids need more of our time compare to my generation. I remember my mom use to put me and my brother in the living room to play and she will attend to her house work. Me being the 'tai kar cheh' always ask my little brother to do this do that and he obliged!!! Gone are those days........
I feel that I really need to spend more time with Oscar. From Mondays to Fridays, I drop Oscar off at mom's place at about 7.30am and I dont get to see him till 6.30pm or maybe later. When we go back to our own home, I will sometimes cook and by the time we finish eating dinner and washing up, its close to 9pm. Then its time to get Oscar ready for bed cos he needs to wake up early he next day. So, where do I find time for him? Ok, weekends, but because I hardly spend time with him, he too, is a little bit detached from me. During weekends, he will occasionally ask me "mommy, go back Ah Po house-ok?" And if I said "today saturday, no need to go Ah Po house", then Oscar will look away and stare at my mom's photo in our living room........ My son feels so far apart from me already.
Yesterday, mom told me something about Oscar which made me really happy and joy. Oscar learnt to sing songs, and not any other songs, but Leslie Cheung's song. I know I have been previously blogging on this but last evening, I actually heard it with my own pair of ears... after Oscar sang the song, he bowed and clapped his hand. I really want to be with him full time to witness these memorable incidents myself.
Last night, hubby came home early so we had simple dinner. Hubby spend time with Oscar while I finish up some office work (yes, my office work is so much that I have to bring home). Oscar asked his daddy:-
Oscar: draw draw........ (showing paper and pencil to hubby)
Hubby: hmmm ok. draw apple ok
Oscar: no no, puish car.....
Hubby: huh? what car?
Oscar: PUISH car.......... neee nooo neee nooo
Hubby and me burst into laughter and hubby said: i see police car is it?
Oscar: yes, clever daddy!!!
You see, dont you just love spending time with your little ones? I love you Oscar........ again, today I will attempt to leave early....... pray !!!
Steal sometime today to blog..... monday blues la.
I can't help to but to post a blog on my most annoying neighbour. I lived in an apartment whereby ours is on the 4th floor. We have this neighbour a floor below us (lets call them A). A has got a family of 4-1 wife and 3 kids. The eldest of his kids would be 4 years old, the second one is 1.5 or less and the youngest bundle of joy is merely 3 months old (I know cos I always 'terhidu' them cooking the rice wine during chinese new year).
So, they are the type that like to talk loudly along the corridor, always scold their kids in public and foul languages all the way type. We can hear them from far especially the husband. He will shout for his eldest daughter to walk faster or do not run etc. He is just shouting most of the time. Even if he is just talking to his opposite neighbour, you can hear him from far. I can hear him talk even he is at the ground floor..... can you beat that!!!
They like to put their kids on the 'sarong' cos every day without fail you can here the 'sarong' sound......'ngit nget-ngit nget' like it needs oiling badly kind of sound you know. For a while you would have said, its ok la, not all child is capable of sleeping in the cot or bed alone. But, this squeking sound is really getting out of hand lately. In fact, the sound of the 'sarong' is now amplified right into our bedroom!!! I think they placed the 'sarong' inside their room instead of at the living room which we normally hear the sound comes from. Non stop very loud squeking sound throughout the night!!! WE COULD NOT SLEEP......... and if we slept, we WILL BE RUDELY woken up by the sound.
Hubby wrote a friendly letter to them many months ago, I think it was during their second child. But no action was taken by them. Come on, just buy some WD40 or just pour some baby oil onto the spring la........... like that also cannot ah???
They are those lived in their own world and do not care about other people's welfare. Our neighbour on the 5th floor tot it was us that made all the squeky sound but we told them not us..........
So how la? Should we go and tell them again!!!
Will you chat with someone whom you do not know online? Well, this is what happened to me this morning. Someone actually msn-ed me yesterday wanting to chat but I didn't know who was it and was busy so I didnt replied.
So this morning I saw this person online and he acutally buzzed me. I answered and asked who he is.... then he started chattin away and said I forgot about him and bla bla bla... then I ask him if he really know who is he chatting with he confidently replied yes.... he said he will sms me to show that he is not kidding.... Waited but nothing came to my phone so he also realised something wrong.... so he apologised. "Wrong person - lol"
Anyway, I chatted away with him and he seemed to be a very nice guy. And he is from Singapore.... hmmm. Well, its always nice to chat with someone from another place (ok its just Singapore, not planet Mars........... I get it!)
So chatted for about 10 mins with intervals here and there... and I have to end it. Cos got tonnes to do........... Same now, back to work. Counting down to 6pm today... going to the Park with Oscar........... Pls dont rain ah.... TQ
I called home today after lunch and here is the conversation:
Me: ring ring (Oscar picked up the phone) Hi Oscar, how are you?
Oscar: Fine thang q ...........mommy eat rice huh?
Me: Yes mommy eaten. How about you? Ah Po got feed you rice or not?
** alot of giggling and I can hear my mom asking him to put down the phone.......**
Oscar: Wei........ ashar (Oscar) here.......... nobody isit.........
Me: Wait!! (I said)
Oscar: Ok, bye........... (hung up on me)
Me: !!!!??????
You see, talking to your own child is very theraputic. I had a rough day this morning, so I tot I call home to speak to little boy to ease my yearning for him and also to forget about work for a little while....... After chatting with him (even he hung up on me) I felt satisfied.......
Can't wait till 6pm today as I promised to take him to the playground today...... ok got to work now.......... I luv you Oscar
Aikes, suppose to have photos for the post below. What happened ah?
See, my pc really gila liow.
Hehe, want to copy Jazz’s previous post on her weekend. My weekend started off with an early Saturday cos wanted to take mom to the clinic. But then she called and said dad already brought her there the previous night. So got ready with Oscar and head to Jusco Tmn Maluri for some grocery shopping.
Arrived at 10.45am and wow, quite packed already. This is one of the Jusco that opens at 10.30am cos I have been to many Jusco’s (yes, I am a Jusco fan!!) and noticed that they opened quite early …. 10am.
Ok, brought Oscar for his kiddy ride and then head down to the supermarket to buy some meat and vege. The to McD to get some fries. Oscar went to the food court with me with a smiling face and a packet of fries! I had the lousy-est chicken rice but well, food court ma, can’t complain right?!
Then we head home and zzzzz. Slept for 30mins then the rain started to rained like no tomorrow. Decided to do some ironing and then daddy sms-ed me at about 4.00pm informing me not to cook and will bring us out for some jalan jalan session…… (retail therapy for me perhaps)
We went to KLCC for dinner and shop a little…. More of Oscar’s stuff as usual and then head home….. very tired liow and hit the sack at 11pm all of us…. Except for daddy…. He stayed up for some sob sob tvb show on astro….
Not much happening on Sunday except we brought Oscar for his haircut and then head home to zzzzzzz. Cooked dinner too. Want to try this recipe?
Thai fried chicken with Mango.
Ingredient:
Chicken drumstick or breast
Shallots
Chilli Padi
Mango
Sugar/Salt/Pepper/Soy Sauce
Thai Chilli Sauce
Method:
Marinade chicken with some soy sauce and pepper. Cut shallots and mango into slices and sprinkle a pinch of sugar and set aside.
Before deep frying the chicken, dust it with some KFC frying powder and fry till golden brown. Place it on the plate and put the mango and shallots on top.
Pour 3 table spoon of Thai Chilli Sauce into the wok and let it simmer with 3 table spoon of water… put in the chilli padi and remove from heat. Then pour it onto the chicken and serve hot with rice…. Yummy wor hubby said.
Half eaten chicken…(eat halfway baru ingat want to take picture). But finished eventually!!!
This morning when I woke up, I was greated by a loud cry from Oscar... Reason, his blanket fell off and I think he dreamt about something cos he kept on saying "Mommy.. carry.. mommy sorry..." Must have dreamt that I pukul him or something!!!
So, we left the house 15mins earlier cos I want to skip the jam and also to the atm machine. It so happened that the atm machine is in a petrol station... (yes SHELL), Oscar wanted to get some drinks... (we like to stop at petrol station to buy drinks one la) Then we q up to pay. Waliow, long q 'nemermind', the guy at the counter was eeeexxxxttttrrrraaaaa slooooooowwww. Can't blame him cos I think he has been on shift like forever!! Droopy eyes, messy hair and very skinny. So, came my turn. Bought some drinks and the total was $3.75. And I gave him a $10 note. So, if my maths is correct, aren't he suppose to return $6.25??? Nope, he just returned $6.20. Not that I so damn kira about the miserable 5 cents (what can 5 cents buy now?), but hey, if you tell me you don't have it I can accept. I once accepted the cashier when she told me she ran out of coin and could not give me my change (that is about 50 or 70 cents i forgot).. I am ok with it. But this guy, obviously he is taking advantage on his customer. I am sure he didn't do this by mistake cos when I looked at my change, I gave him a look and his face is very guilty and he looked away.... he was actually shaking when he gave me the straws for the drinks.... See, this is what happened when you do crime.... I bet he is thinking about me now!!!! Ok, enough rambling about my stupid 5 cents.....
Then, came to the tol gate.... suppose to pay 50 cents but no coin so I gave the fat white faced big mouth woman a $1 note..... She took it from me as if I just passed one pile of s**t (mind my english today cos very stress la... )... she took it with just two fingers...... then gave me back my change opps sorry, threw me back my change!!! Woi... and again 10 cents dropped!!!! Again, not the money that I am yelling my lungs out here, but what attitude is this???!!! Can't you just give me back my change properly???? This ppl in the tol booth really crazy one you know. There was once, my hands was 'molested' by the stupid guy in the booth... I gave the money, and he actually 'meraba' my hand. Aiya, hard to describe la... but I felt so disgusting!!! Then when he gave me my change, he actually did it again, 'meraba' my hand......
OK, for sure will get my Touch n Go card loaded today... In fact I have 3 of this card but all out of credit.... hard to find a spot to top up but now no more excuse cos I can do it with the atm machine.......
Sorry to you all readers ah....... if my yakking of this 5 cents and 10 cents make you so sien... you can write to me one....
Muaahahahahaaa, MIA-ed for a week and now back and much more relaxed.. still tonnes of work but can-la...
PART ONE
Took a break to go Penang (photos will follow soon... camera something wrong cannot download) with another family. They too, have a son but 8 months younger than Oscar. We stayed at the Sandy Paradise Hotel for 2-nights... complimentary stay cos this friend of us has got 4-vouchers so yipppeeee....... but if we do not have these vouchers we will still go la... maybe stay in some miserable motels lor..... (nope, I actually planned to stay in Batu Ferengghi Mutiara one....)
So we drove there on Sunday at about 9.30am.. suppose to meet friend (lets call them Tieh family) at the Sg Buloh bridge at 8am but left the house so late as usual....
Had the lousy-est breakfast at Burger King then head on to Penang. We stopped to stretch, drink, yak, change diaper, drink again and toilet for so many times until I lost count.... We reached at about 4.30pm...
Checked in and went in to our room straight away to rest. Then we went to the beach at about 6pm to let the kids play... but the wind is too strong and waliow very hot la... so head to the pool for a cool dip then went up to shower.... Then we went to Macalister Road for the famous Char kuey tiow.... order so many food and stuffed our self till we can't move!!!!
OK, I yak until here first to be continued later (if I have the time... gotto finish my accounts first)
Good to be back..........
I hardly have time to blog this week, haha only have time to read other ppl's blog.. Reason:
1) Brain was as tight as a knot...
2) Lots of work to complete
3) Body in office but soul at home zzzzzzzzzz (lack of rest la me)
4) Too much work which makes me very inefficient... my productive level has went to zero!!!
OK, back to my post. I read a short article last night about child's concentration. It seems that a child's concentration could be badly affected if the watched too much TV. OMG, Oscar watch the telly like 2 to 3 hours a day... in staggered hours of course. But this article I read said, a child is only permitable (is there such word) to watch TV for 20 mins with an adult at side to explain and for role playing... how to role play if they are watching Bananas in Pyjamas leh... I dont want to be a banana wor.....
So, this article proves that some of its points (many point in this article I just picked this one) is correct cos, I recalled recently a friend told me that her son lacks of concentration in class and its like his minds wanders away quickly if he is asked to perform a task like colouring, drawing and even building blocks.... (her son is 5 years old)....... The teacher said this has got something to do with watching too much TV..... true he son watch TV all day long!!!! Darn Astro Channel 63!!!!
Its like I can't let my son watch TV anymore..... I will have to switch to educational CDs already. And spend time sitting with him in the house and doing nothing productive myself hmmmm......I have loads of it but Oscar lost his interest in those already.. Time to go shopping for CDs... any recommendations daddys and mommys.....
