Looking forward to a bigger garden

chinnee — Fri, 17 Feb 2012 13:35:50 +0000

I think I fell in love with gardening recently and involve more . Hubby is spending less time in his garden nowadays because our weekends are so packed with outing with the kids. However we are still looking forward to buy a house with a bigger garden, furnish it with some modern outdoor furniture so we all can rest and relax in our garden when the kids are playing outdoor.

Jobless and restless

chinnee — Sun, 21 Mar 2010 07:47:13 +0000

It is certainly not easy to search for a job, especially when you are having a slightly salary already with some experience on hand. My brother who has been in a job search for about 2 years still could not find a job until today. Luckily he sold his car off early or else he would have lots of financial burden to bear. I hope he could find a job soon again.

Recovered from depression

I am glad that my sis is going back to her life again and finally got well after a natural depression treatment at our government hospital. She is indeed very lucky to have good care from my parents. Even during treatment, her children were well taken care of by her MIL. I hope she could get on, find a job and and move a step forward in her life soon.

Fun MJ parenting circle

chinnee — Tue, 10 Nov 2009 06:11:10 +0000

I look forward to the Parenting circle event organised by Mead Johnson every year. We have been there since the birth of QQ and I only missed out this event last year when the boys just arrived. I still have the group photo they sent me earlier and it is really a great memory to see those passing years and how I look in the picture. If only I got myself one of the netbooks earlier and store them inside.

My birthday celeb with 3 kids

chinnee — Wed, 12 Aug 2009 15:43:47 +0000

This is the 2nd year I celebrate my birthday with 3 kids. For dinner, I just prepared nasi lemak for the family. Told hubby not to get any cake but instead he came back home with 3 big slices of cake from Secret Recipe. Gonna pop in some best weight loss supplement soon again after eating these fattening cakes!

Initially I wanted to go to Umai-ya for Japanese buffet (heard so much about this place), but after a second thought, it is really too pricey to spend for a meal like this. AlFurthermore, it might be difficult also for us to eat in peace since 2 boys will be making lots of noise. Better save the money and go later when they are bigger.

Eating month

chinnee — Wed, 17 Jun 2009 04:04:43 +0000

Although busy, it was a fun month. I baked Tomica little cookies as party favors for the kids. Tedious job to do as they are really tiny. Stamping the mould on the shaped cookies really testing our patience. Luckily QQ could help and with maid’s help, all little cars and van was neatly packed and given out.

Hubby was on leave so we went back to Melaka a day earlier. Went to the famous Ikan Bakar at Muara Sg.Duyong on Friday night. Although the place is fully booked and ambience is good, we were quite dissappointed as the food does not taste as good as the old stall in Serkam. With a eating habit like mine, I know there is surely no way to slim down unless I take the best diet pills in town.

First vacation for the boys

chinnee — Fri, 27 Mar 2009 01:21:43 +0000

During last weekend, we finally brought the boys to their first vacation, to Genting Highland. It was also a family vacation as we went there together with 4 Sister-in-laws and their family. Since it was a Sunday afternoon, the hotel lobby and the play area were extremely packed and crowded. We had to wait for around three hours to check into our rooms. However it was only late afternoon we manage to check into six rooms’ altogether. We even had one of the rooms extended for another night so we do not have to rush to check out in the next morning.

Although the boys and I were in the room most of the time, QQ and her little cousin really had fun at the indoor theme park (thanks again to Miche for the free vouchers!). The weather was so nice and cool up there that the boys were having good nap most of the time in the rooms while my maid and I watched over them.

This time QQ really had fun with the Paris ride. The kids enjoyed the cool weather as their berghaus fleece jackets was keeping them warm. She dare not ride on this in our last visit but this time, she played many rounds. However this could also be the last time for her to ride as her height already reached the maximum line.

Although I was looking forward to another trip to Genting again, I realised that each vacation is no longer as fun as it used to be when I was younger. How nice it is to be kids yeah…

First Genting trip

Finally we brought the boys to Genting, the boys vacation for the first time. Together with 4 SILs and their family, we checked into 6 rooms (plus an extended night for our room so we can check out later), thanks to free vouchers from my mum, my SIL and also Miche!

Although the boys and I were in the room most of the time, QQ and her little cousin really had fun at the Indoor theme park (thanks again to Miche for the free voucher!) It was so cool up there that the boys were having good nap in the rooms while my maid and I watched over them.

We hope to go again in the near future before QQ exceed the height requirement for her favorite rides. This will be the only chance I get to dress the boys in their tuxedo for our dining since it is cool up there. Can’t wait to visit Genting again!

Slim Mama

chinnee — Sat, 22 Nov 2008 05:03:48 +0000

Kids are really funny. Although I look as big as a bear now (as compare to the slim of me in my wedding photo), my girl still loves me tremendously. Kid does has a pure heart. However sometimes she does complain that I look fat and tell me that she want a slimmer Mama I think I better do something to my huge belly before it is too late. Seeing the effective result, probably I need to order Phentermine to see if it helps.

Creating memories

chinnee — Sun, 09 Nov 2008 06:54:03 +0000

According to Chinese Feng Shui, it is good to display many family photos in the living hall. So I have some projects to print out some of our best shots. Some software is quite useful for creating nice photo effects but too bad, they do not comes free. It would be very expensive to buy them, unless I grab the offers from the Black Friday ads. Watch out for my display soon yeah!
