as usual we have our spore trip to visit my grandma...this time we went by airplane which mean the kids had their first flight experience....

still working with pru...still learning at work..can u imagine that? insurance line is a never ending one...all cases are diff...but is is a nice learning experience till now...

me still a mother of two only...no sign of 3rd kid yet...hehehehehe...

daniel now age 3 years and 8 months...he started his kindy orientation day and he HATES it... no joke...how to make him accept the fact that he needs to go kindy starting next year???

annabelle now age 2 years and 6 months...she is at her "horrible two" age...always want things to follow her way.....

but they both remain to be most important to me...my darling daniel and sweetheart belle

and he is still my dear hubby
:)

HAPPY NEW YEAR to you, you and you!

LIFE

i can still be considered a new staff at my current working place.... have not know each and every colleague of mine from the next door, PBA Dept....

one fine day, i hv the chance to bump into a colleague, J from PBA..... we hv a short chat.... she's a bubbly & friendly gal... a mum of one young bb..... she's one of our product trainer... flying all over m'sia to conduct trainings to agents but her specialization is training in mandarin....

the next day, just the very next day, her dept's colleague informed us that her hubby passed a way the nite before due to heart attack... he was only 35 yrs old.....

in just a matter of hours after we chat, who would know that her hubby will die just like that? no sign of heart attack before... he onli complained of chest pain on the nite he passed away...

it just flashed to our mind that all this could happen to anyone of us... no matter young or old... no matter married or non married.... no matter with kids or without kids....

it has been almost a month and we hv not seen J at work place.... she has lots of things to settle before she could really be back to work..... as all this just happened in a flash.. without any warning and preparation.....

may her hubby R.I.P. and may J continue to stay strong for herself and her bb gal.... still a long journey for them to carry on...... our heart goes to them....

visit from a dear fren....

soon to be mrs lee came for a visit today.... yup.. she's here to give me the invitation card to her wedding dinner this december 26th....

we chatted so much... work... daily life... her wedding preparations..... her life as a soon to be wife, daughter in law and mother(in a couple of years as she wish).......

she is one dear fren whom i miss seeing and chatting with....

got to know her when i was still at tdm... we were both in the same section... just the two of us... two newly joined taking over the section when our senior was transferred to another dept... we both managed to survive with the guidance of our ex-boss... and ex-colleagues....

after she(and many others) left, we seldom get to meet-up as all of us are busy busy with our work & life...

but friends remain in our heart... we need not meet and chat every single day... the most important thing is we know we have a friend to rely on when we most needed them :)

here i wish here a blissful life ahead with her hubby & her new family....

changes

so many changes in the past few months... work wise, family wise, kids wise.... macam2...

first of all, i had change my job.... an unexpected move i made after 8 years with tdm.... which mean i went through everything again.. sent out resume, attend interview, medical checkup then starts new job.....

many ppl's reaction when they knew i changed job was: serious???? i thought you will work till you retire at tdm

not one commented that... but 9/10 of them did.....

story cut short, i am now working with prudential.... a move which up to now, i have no regrets... so much learning for me.... especially on getting protection for ourself and loved ones.....

everyday is a learning day for me..... i feel like going to school each day to attend class coz the wide scope of learning awaits me... products info, claim enquiries, nominations etc.....

the onli thing i misses at tdm is the many lovely colleagues and ex-colleagues i met while working there.... they are simply the best.....

luckily my current new work place is not bad..... the colleagues are helpful and friendly as well...

as for family wise, i am still married with two kids... not pregnant at the moment... any more plan for the 3rd one? we shall wait and see :)

both kids are growing day by day... getting nottier and nottier each day.... daniel is very stubborn these days... belle is still as stubborn as before... so, i do have two VERY stubborn kids... rotan works with daniel but not belle.. sigh....

my mind is full

i have so much things in mind

- things to do
- things to consider
- things to find solution
- things to prepare
- things to find info
etc..........

and too bad hubby is away..... he has always been my good listener... not always... most time.... why????? becoz sometimes he gave his opinion which is different from mine and i cannot accept.... hehehehe.....

but anyway, thanks to him for listening to my ramblings..... mostly on work wise..... else i would have go cuckoo.... muahahahahahaha...

waiting for the day when i can just say all out to everyone...... nope... i am not pregnant.....
:)

dear dear away

been almost a week since dear hubby is away to china for business trip.... very rare now tat he will travel for so long... this time round, it is for two weeks......

without him around, i miss him of course..

as for the kids, they both not so much kua.... hehehehe... when i asked them where is daddy? their eyes search around... daniel will answer NO... and belle will call DEAR(tat's the way i call hub)....

i am lucky coz my parents & PIL helped me out a lot in taking care of the kids for me..... if not, i would not have time to blog... to fb.... to rest when i were sick few days back....

i am so blessed....

i am still alive..

yeah... of course i am... else, who is blogging here? muahahahahaha

it has been a longgggg longgggg time since i last blog. why?????

two main reasons:
- lazinesssss
- busy-nessssss

there is so much i need to do.... i must start managing my time well between the kids and my own private life..... as in my own social life i mean......

i have not been meeting my good frens for dunno how long ago...... except for colleagues, i have not been lepak-ing with my good frens.... and also except for some small gatherings with the "gang & kids", basically my life is just around the WORK and the KIDS....

i have not been blogging much for my own blog(this blog) and my kids blog(daniel & belle)... so, u can imagine how many things i hv not uploaded on their milestones and their latest pic.....

i have not been managing the hundreds of photos of daniel and belle... all still stored in my house CPU or even the digital cam......

hey! i must do something! yes! i must!

when?

soon i hope.....
:)

busy + lazy

been a while since i last updated my blog and my kids' blogs.... reason: this mummy has been so lazy on weekdays and too busy on weekends.... yeah... time are spent so much on the kids when i am at home... imagine if i do not have my mum's or my MIL's help.... i think i will drop dead tired everyday! and did i say i spent so much time on facebook as well? :)

since i am staying at home this few days to clear my annual leave that i hv some time to update the blogs... and of course with some hint fom my good fren SL that i have not been updating the blogs lately, i have no choice but to move my butt and blog lor.... hehehe

anyway, it will be x'mas soon... looking forward to visit my grandma in s'pore.... of course i am not traveling alone... it will be the whole gang... well, almost the whole gang minus my FIL..... meaning there will be me with hubby, daniel, annabelle, my parents, MIL, sis & KJ, bro & kar lai....

funny dream

Yday I had a funny dream.. wanna blog about it.....

Hubby, me & daniel walked into a bak kut teh shop
He asked me to go walk around and leave him & daniel there
I asked WHY
He just said GO LAH

Then I left the restaurant
This restaurant very funny one
It is like an illegal place where after I leave, they put the door grill locked and cannot see from outside one
All SEALED

Then I suspect something fishy
And guess what?
Hubby meet his EX-GF lah

I of course pissed off lah
Esp with my son with hubby and his EX
I keep on banging on the restaurant door and shouted for them to open the door

Then I dunno how I managed to open up a bit of the door
I shouted YANG YANG, YANG YANG DARLING… DANIEL BOY…..
WHERE ARE YOU? COME MUMMY HERE? (my heart was saying LEAVE YOUR STUPID DADDY WITH THAT WOMAN LAH!!!!)

Then other customers feel pity for me and went to look daniel for me

Suddenly…. My alarm clock ring lor

:)

Food Quote

forgot where i read it from but it is meaningful

for breakfast, eat like a king

for lunch, eat like a prince

for dinner, eat like a beggar

petrol price increase

just rcv news that the petrol price will increase to RM 2.70 per litre effective this midnite... dunno how true is it?

if it is really true, means more expenses for many other daily essentials e.g. food, transportation, BLR etc.....

yeah....

higher petrol price= higher cost of living

sigh...

dunno what's wrong with blogger & ME

been trying to upload some of daniel's pic but cannot do so... until today then i decide to use slide.com instead.... or else dunno how... wonder if anyone else is experiencing the same problem as me.... if yes, how to solve it? i remembered it happen before but i forgot how to solve it oledi...

i am so the FORGETFUL.... i really mean it when i say that i am forgetful... must be because i hv been staying at home for so long(almost 10 weeks).... been lazing so much oso lor....

next monday i will go back to work after my 60 days maternity... i am so the LAZY...

TIME!

Ever since we bring home my newborn darling bb, all of us (me, hubby, MIL & mummy) who takes turn to bottle feed him with milk will definitely have to look at the clock each time we feed him as we need to estimate the next feeding time....

never in my life that I check the TIME for so so so many times in a day... not even when I'm at work.... if you're a mummy, you'll get what i mean...

a burger a day....

yes... definitely it is late now... at least for me... the time now is 11.15pm.. on normal days i will be sleeping...... or should i say, i am asleep from 10pm onwards.....

but today, i am still awake... surfing net... msn-ing... blogging and the best part is, i just had one RAMLY burger ayam... before pregnant, i rarely eat this RAMLY burgers... it is very yummylicious .... just simple and nice.....

normally it will be McD fillet-o-fish... but where to find a McD outlet near my new home? currently McD still do not cater for delivery service to our new housing area..... takde..... and not forgetting to mention DOMINO's, Pizza Hut oso takde delivery service....

so, hubby willingly walked to a nearby kopitiam which has a burger stall but unfortunately, it is not open (maybe becoz of the rain)........ what hubby do instead is he drove all the way to Klang town in search of the RAMLY burger for me.....

i love you so much dear....... for the burger... for ur effort... for ur thoughtfulness (he scare i wake him up middle of the nite craving for a RAMLY burger)..... hehehe

THANKS DEAR!!!

happy news for the FOONG family...

my BB will be due in april '08

my elder cousin bro's wife bb will also be due in april '08

and the latest news, my younger cousin sis's bb will be due in july '08

three little mickey/ minnie mouses for us FOONG family next year

imagine a gathering of three little ones at family function....it will be fun! i hope....

hmmm... maybe more good news to come from other FOONG family members as well.... hehehe

i wish our paternal grandma still around...... she would then be very happy to see her three great grandchildren.. may she rest in peace....

hubby's birthday.....
sept 29th will be my dear hubby's birthday.... no secret to hide.... he will be 29 years old this year.... which means i will be turning 29 too...... which also means we are both going to celebrate our late 20's for the last time this year... and next year, we both will be in our early 30's

haven't decide what to buy for hubby this year.. we both are not those romantic type of people.. normally we will just go for a simple dinner.... maybe no gifts at all.... since our "pak thor" days, there were many types of gifts that we have presented before...

i guess now we both prefer to appreciate the days that we can spend together more than to receive a gift... of course a small gift will be nice coz we onli celebrate our birthdays once a year... but yet... nvm-lah... till now he never demand anything from me..... not that i can afford to upgrade his PC or PS.... hehehehe

maybe i should just prepare his fav konnyaku jelly.... i am lucky that my hubby is not those demanding type of person....

plus his birthday is just 3 days earlier from our wedding anniversary and my birthday is just 11 days later than his..... which means we will be celebrating this three occasions all on the same day

and here, in advance i would like to wish my dear hubby, A HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU, DEAR(and to me too)....... also A HAPPY 2ND WEDDING ANNIVERSARY TO US!

weddings....

it's early sept now... and for the coming months.... a busy time for gathering.... yup... soon the 7th month of the Chinese lunar calendar is coming to an end.... what else? the auspicious 8th month will be next.... which chinese old folks don't look forward to this time of the year where many many wedding dinners will be held???...... including myself, my wedding day was in the 8th month too as per the chinese lunar calendar....

a line up of coming events for me and hubby.... next two weeks will be my cousin sis's Mun Mun housewarming party at puchong..... the following week will be cousin bro's Brian & Mimie wedding day/ dinner...... end of october, wedding of our ex-schoolmate's wedding dinner..... early november will be wedding of my ex-uni housemate's wedding dinner..... end december will be my colleague's wedding dinner...... and not to mention my company's annual dinner in early november(don't think i will be able to make it since it clashed with my fren's wedding dinner)

some of you might have more dinners to be attended than me...... coz i got a few friends who will be attending 3 wedding dinners in the same month.. of course this joyous occasions are welcome with our open hearts........ it is not easy for a man and a woman to become husband and wife... it is fate that brought them together........ and we are proud to join them to celebrate......

to the soon-to-be married couples, may all of you will have many more days to cherish as husband & wife! it's the beginning of a new life.......

07.07.07
this special date holds a lot of special meaning to a lot of ppl coz on this day, many people got married( including some of my frens, CONGRATS ya!)....... triple 7...... what an easy date to remember... and meaningful too coz it happens once in a thousand year???

the number 7 has alwiz been my favourite number...... and it's my lucky number too.....

before i got married, i stayed at my parents home with the address No. 17.... and now my new home is No. 7..... when i first make booking for my new home, i do not know the house address until we receive the keys to our new home.... what a coincidence as it turned out.........

working shift

i have alwiz wonder how it feels like working shift.... well, not that i am working shift now but it's my dear hubby..... dunno about what production line needs engineer suport when they work at nite/ midnite...... dunno-lah.... just don't understand coz all this while hubby are not required to work shift......

for the 1st week, he & a few of his colleagues have been working 7.00am to 7.00pm(of course he did not leave his workplace so punctual but actually reach home onli about 9.30pm)........

and for this 2nd week(which by the way, today is his last day for working shift), he works from 7.00pm to 7.00am(and when he works this shift, he leaves his workplace punctually becoz he is already half sleepy).....

i mean, can you work the graveyard(midnite) shift? i definitely cannot. definitely NO!

reason:
- i sleep quite early(10.30pm averagely on weekdays but I can sleep at 9.00pm if i want to... hehehe)

- i will not be able to live normally as in watching TV, surfing net coz if work midnite shift means whole afternoon will be spent sleeping, then wake up for early dinner, bath & go to work... see-lah.... where got time for all this luxury???

- i will miss my dear hubby a lot.... for the 1st week(morning shift), hubby leaves for work before i wake up..... and reach home late which is almost my sleeping time..... and for this 2nd week(nite shift), i rush home on Monday, Wednesday & Friday to catch my hubby before he leaves for work at 6.15pm... means i left my workplace on the dot at 5.20pm and reach home about 5.45pm to chat with him for a while and catch up a little bit on our daily life.... ya...... the precious half an hour or less.....

i really salute those who can rotate working shift either morning shift, afternoon shift and nite shift.... i guess it takes time to adjust to this lifestyle...

i hope this will be the last day that my dear hubby got to work shift...... sigh.....
