Wake Up and Smell the Cake

I've yet to write about the sugar cookie baking session with my siblings (that was Christmas!), baby developments (two teeth!!), work, and the mandatory year-in-review and what I hope for 2012. So far 2012 started off with lots of work! -_- Hope to do so soon! And what's this buzz about Ombak Rindu. I wanna watch it! But sooo many links on YouTube have been removed. Sadness. Okay back to work! I have a ginormous target I set for myself!

Hello everyone I am feeling very lazy to work and so many people are on leave already! My fingers on my left hand smells of baby barf! As weird as it may sound, I shall not wash it with soap just as yet cos I will smell my fingers if I miss my boy. And I miss my boy so so much! I miss my other boy too. He was busy with sooo many things over the weekend that I only managed to enjoy his company only minutes before dozing off. And I don't want movie dates! No fun just watching the screen -_-" But then again I always talk a lot in movies. I love to spoil the show and give my own commentary. Hahahha. Husband gets irritated by it but I do it anyway teeheehee! Today is the last day for the 1-for-1 Filet-O-Fish deal. Maybe I shall have two Filet-O-Fish burgers for lunch! :D Tampines Mall is overcrowded. 9kg baby on a ring sling for TWO hours is sooo not advisable for your shoulder. Pain will last two days. Minimum. Okay I just smelt my fingers. Baby barf isn't ni

I am missing my chubbycheeks. He turned four months yesterday! Time flies :) Today I'm back in office after one and a half weeks on leave. Very the lemak. Spent lots of time with family, and precious precious time with Junior! He's getting so adorable! Talks a lot these days, complete with tonation. Smiles and laughs, loves to cuddle and hold me tight when I'm carrying him. My sweet little angel :) His favourite activity now is to grab my tudung and put it in his mouth. Easiest to grab and he does it very fast now! Seems that he likes to put cloth in his mouth: his pillow ends, washcloth, my tudung. But when we gave him a proper teething toy, he didn't like it. Maybe it doesn't taste nice. But he did want to put his (very cheap, very effective. 3 for $3.50 from Mustafa) rattle in his mouth! In a way it's good cos we don't have to buy those specific and expensive toys! Normal daily items would do :) Yesterday we bought a very cheap walker from Mustafa,

Just a simple, quick lunch with Other Half. Bank - BK - bus ride back to office. And it is bliss ♥ :) First lunch date since I came back to work.  First time on the bus together here! Funfun :) We should do it more often! Heehee~

Today's the third day of work since I came back. It SUCKS. Day 1 was okay. My reactions are always slow. Like jetlag. And fasting. Second day onwards then I'll feel the strain. Day 1, we left him at my in-laws', he didn't cry when we went off cos he was still a bit groggy. My chubbycheeks isn't used to waking up so early in the morning hehe. I almost teared, but I tried to hold it back. Day 1 he behaved, he drank from his bottle, he didn't cry much, and he slept well. We were relieved. I missed him, but it was manageable. So I thought, okay this is not too bad! When we came to fetch Junior, he was all smiley and happy. My charming angel :) Day 2. Started out okay too. But I got really emotional and sad and all teary when we got back home. It finally kicked in that I wasn't going to spend as much time as I did during maternity leave. I hated the send baby-go work-fetch baby routine. When we reach home, I'll only have at most an hour before I have to

Dear God, Please protect these wonderful, kind souls who so often give free food to me and little one :) There's always food to eat! May they never be short of rezeki, may they be blessed by You always, and have the very best of happiness, health and contentment in their lives. Amin!

Omg I can't sit still!! My butt aches when I sit too long, and by long I mean like fifteen minutes? I need a plush cushion for my Princess And The Pea royal behind.

Was just given an early morning lecture by Makcik on eating properly. She just had her check up and now is regretting her bad dietary habits. Though I think I fare better in my food choices, I have to keep in mind too not to eat too much junk food and also fast food. Fast food is a bit tricky cos it's so easy to get and it's tasty too. Haha. Okay okay I shall TRY to curb eating fast food. Good reminder from makcik, and luckily today I didn't come in with McD's breakfast HAHAHAHA. Bought Gardenia's raisin loaf instead. Waahhhh healthy ah!! Now the next thing to do is to keep those chocolates on my table away from sight!

Husband has two (yes, TWO ) overseas trips within two weeks next month. And it clashes with our important date on the 10th. Soooo. Should I change the date or not. Cos right now I sure feel like I don't.

I miss Other Half :( Today we won't see each other the whole day until maybe at 10-ish. That's long. Very very extra long. Sigh. Extremely sleepy today. Lack of sleep, and sleep these days are always filled with action-packed multi-storyline vivid dreams. Tiring lah! Was supposed to sleep early but this and that happened and so we slept late. I love my sleep. Speaking of which, I need pillows. After many years I've still yet to find a proper sleeping position with the best possible pillows. FFL IS BACK!!! YAY!! Initially I wanted to mogok and refuse talking to her, but when I saw that she was online, I couldn't resist. Haha. Lame, I know. We're going to have a triple date soon with the other FFLs! Yay! Actually, we haven't had a triple date before! Maybe I shall volunteer to make something :)

@11am: Hungry!!! I wanna eat Tom Yam Ramen or Tom Yam Banmien for lunch!! *growls* Ramen Ten should do food delivery service. Bleah. Was really looking for a non-fast food delivery, and there's nothing much. Am so disappointed. Ramen Ten offers delivery for large orders only. Also, I've even made a feedback request to Hei Sushi to have a delivery service hurhur. Old Chang Kee has delivery services but not in the mood for that at the moment. Haha. @ noon: I've succumbed to my hunger and is snacking on a low fat Raisin Oatmeal snack bar. I'm so terribly hungry I can't take it!!! Lunch at 1pm is waaayyyy to late.

I am STUFFED! Had Tandoori Chicken Croissant sandwich from Coffee Bean . Wanted to get something healthy. But healthy is usually more expensive. Okay I realise croissant isn't as healthy as normal bread haha... I'll switch to the non-oily breads in future. The chicken portion was very generous and chunky! And the vege too! I like! It was like almost a whole tomato in the sandwich, with a long slice of cucumber, and salad. On top of that, there's side salad too! I love how they include raisins and almonds in it. Hungry monster finished it like she hasn't eaten for days. Yes! Every bit of vege and almond and raisin. And now my stomach's bursting. Dropped by NTUC to get pears and China Kong Pears (those yellow ones I know as buah lai). They shall be my snacks when I'm terribly hungry like this morning. Shall not resort to cookies anymore! Cookie Monster in rehab Today I shall start eating healthy seriously! No more hot hot chicken shit (literal translation o

The Husband is flying off tonight for work. Sigh. Though it won't be as bad as the time he was studying in London, I will still miss him terribly :((( Hurry come home k so I can continue disturbing you. Haha! Can't wait to fetch him this Friday!

Now's lunch time! First lunch after fasting. But I don't feel hungry. Or maybe not yet. I guess fruit cake can really make you full. Lunch time and I don't feel like going to eat, or going out. Instead, I feel like sleeping. My eyes are dry again due to lack of sleep. And water too I guess. And the worst part of it all, my lunch kaki already HAD lunch. URGH. And here I was, so excited over what to have for our first lunch date after a year. Disappointed. *pouts* I need a new mug. One with lid. The one I'm using now is already three years old. And is plastic-ish. Starting to smell. Ah wait~! I found a mug in my drawer! Teeheehee from lunch kaki. Yay no need to buy oredi! :)

I don't understand. Why do some people think that women wearing high heels to work is a sign of oppression. Apparently, women need to make themselves suffer by wearing uncomfortable heels so that they can look good and be noticed. They won't be noticed solely for their talent and work capabilities. I don't quite agree. I wear heels cos it's pretty! Doesn't everyone like pretty things? Why make yourself look ugly rite. It is in our nature to want to look good. And secondly, heels, with the added height, gives you more confidence. Compare that to wearing flats. There's the relaxed, slack feeling. Not good. Thirdly, it is part of formal wear, just like how suits and ties are part of a man's formal wear too. Stupid people. You know what. Besides the fact that I'm with Other Half, being in London sucks. First, my VPN cannot be accessed. Bloody hell. Now. My laptop has been attacked by a stupid virus that doesn't allow me to even enter Internet. Wahlau eh.

Ultimate bummer of the year: freakin' wedding clashes on FFL's wedding. Basket !^%^$#@^#! First, it was two weddings. Then I thought, okay fine, I'll go the nikah for the other one. BUT. BOTH have nikah at the same day around the same time. Doesn't help that the wedding will be held like wayyy east. And then, the most bummerful of them all if there's such a word, another wedding I can't escape. Seriously. I even dreamt that I would be able to skip, but as usual, dreams are opposite of reality :((((( This weekend we might be going Birmingham, and maybe somewhere else too. Wheee!! Hope the weather is nice enough like yesterday! Stop it with the cold winds and rain and grey clouds already! Spring is past due! Speaking of yesterday! After days of not being tourists, we went to the Westminster area for a stroll. Fotos yet to be uploaded. Maybe tomorrow. Lovely blue sky is back! At least for yesterday. And the temperature was bearable! Not the wintery chill! Yayn

I saw this cute elderly couple on the way to the mosque (HAHA macam lah the mosque is so far away), and when I was going back to office, met them again at the lift. The wife and I were in the lift going to the basement, and at the first floor, she saw her husband outside, just bought lunch from the usual Friday vendors. She waved and smiled at him, he saw and quickly ran to the lift in his kain pelikat just before the lift door closes. Cute lah I tell you. The pakcik was smiling while running. Then they went back home riding their scooter, the wife's hands round the husband's waist. I love to see elderly couples going places and doing things together, happy and in love. I wanna grow old like that with Other Half too. Bliss I tell you :) The scooter ride triggered my memory. Our scooter ride. Langkawi, by the shore. Sunset :) We'll do that again k? ♥

Bored me was going through fotos on the fb. And I came across this particular one, brought back memories :) Macaaam lah lama sangat but it's less than two years. Haha! This is nostalgic :) I miss this. The closeness! And easy accessibility ;) How I'd look to see if you're there or not. The passing-passing :p I really miss this place, or rather, the setting.

It has been a crappy night and morning, but someone unexpectedly made my day! :D Very happy hahahahha Thank you kak for the chocolate cream pancake! :)

I went home late! Whee! You know, staying back at office is therapeutic. Unless you're required to do so ALL the time. No one in office, blast songs, do work in peace. Better than going shopping.
