Busy weeks...

Wow...it's been a busy week. Tonnes of paper work in school to do every day. I wonder how it can be so difficult nowadays. We have school sports day coming up next week. So students are busy doing their training and of course the teachers are divided between being coaches and educators who have to train the non-exam students and the form 5 and upper 6 students who will sit for their public examinations! Phew! That's sure a hell of a month.

I'm lucky that my baby boy Ezra has just recovered from his measles. Fortunate enough that he's just been vaccined few months ago for this. So the measles was not so bad. He's up and about now. He'll be one year this saturday the 7th. So excited. But i'm a bit worried about his lack of appetite. He doesn't like to eat. I tried to give him porridge, he vomited. Tried to give him biscuits, he could only consumed one each day. Feed him with cereal every day. He only wants it in the morning. *sigh*. Luckily he still wants to drink milk. But he does not drink a lot. Just enough to satisfy his hunger. And, (I don't know if this is a blessing or what) he sleeps through the night without asking for milk until the next morning. I'm not too worried though because my eldest son was like this when he was two years and below. He did not like to eat. He relied heavily on milk. Now, we can force him to eat. But he prefers to eat rice once a day and eat bread most of the time. While my girl likes to eat noodles and rice with soup and not very fond of bread. So preparing meals for them is not an easy task. They just demand for different types of food.

Well, as long as they are healthy I should not be complaining right? Anyway, I've so many pics to download here but such little time to do it. Still busy. I'll do it when i'm really free.

7-year journey

Today is our 7th year anniversary. yay...time flies very fast. Our achievement? haha...3 kids and one more coming. What i can say here is that, our love grows each day, each year with each kid. Well, of course there are ups and downs. Specially now, we are apart on our big day. It's not that we don't want to celebrate it. We've planned it ahead. Few months ago. But our tight budget does not allow us to do so. First, he had to come home for Ezra's baptism last weekend. Then he'll have to come back again for Ezra's birthday this coming 7th November. So, the expenses would be triple if he would have come back this weekend. It's not cheap to travel from Lahad Datu to Papar everytime you know. One way flight is around RM131 - RM213. Bus ticket is RM50 but you'll suffer that 6-7 hours drive! It's almost like a day wasted in the journey. So, we are apart today for the sake of our baby.

So, no celebration today. Just an exchange of SMS and phone call. Maybe a late celebration later. :-) Miss hubby very much.

Btw, as i mentioned in my other post, Ezra is now walking on his two feet.

A Pacifier?

This was told by my hubby. The conversation was between him and my eldest boy Raul.

Raul: Daddy, what's that noise you were making at night?

Daddy: What kind of noise?

Raul: (He made 'snoring sounds').

Daddy: Owh...sorry Raul.

Raul: Maybe you need something to stop the 'snoring'.

Daddy? What is it Raul?

Raul: I think you need a big pacifier.

Haha....I tried as best as i could to retell this dialogue. But we were surprised with his suggestion and it's quite funny too. So I asked him who told him about that 'pacifier' thing. He told us 'Mickey' said it. Owh... So we should be thankful to Mickey mouse..hehe...

MIA blogger is back!

Hello people...

I can't believe that i've been away from my blog for two weeks now! What happened to me? Nothing actually. I was just busy and lazy. I can blame it on my pregnancy blues. I'm online almost everyday but i just don't feel like blogging. But, with renewed enthusiasm, i'm now back for good. Yippee.. So, what's been keeping me busy? Of course my MUET speaking thing. Outstation and overtime so my mind just can't think of anything to write. My kids are keeping me busy too. And of course, my pregnancy. I feel bloated these days and extremely tired and lazy. And just when i started writing this my baby suddenly cries and demands my attention. By the way Ezra is now 11 months and started walking already! Will try to record his moment soon. For now, i think i just share with you the activities during the recent raya break. These pics were taken when we visited our good friend Audrey. As you can see in the pics, she even baked a vanila cake for my hubby belated birthday. The cake was huge and really sweet. Thank you Audrey. Really appreciate your generosity and kindness.

The kids were having fun at the playground.


Well, those are my hubby and Ezra.

Lisa was waiting to blow and cut her birthday cake. That biryani rice was cooked by me for my hubby on his birthday. Haha...

Ok..gotta go. Ezra is waiting for me. Will visit your blogs as soon as i have time. cheers...

hi...

I'm now attending a course in Beverly Hotel Kota Kinabalu. So, nothing from me these few days except headache. hehe...of course i'm enjoying the bed, the gym and the food but i miss my kids so much. And my hubby as well...huhu...Anyway, i'm happy to be off from school for another two days. yay...I'll be back tomorrow and will keep this blog updated soon. Cheers for now...

Events...

wow...i've been quite busy this holiday. So many things happened yet so little motivation to sit down and write. Well, type actually. :-) To start with, my school holidays began on the 16th September which is a public holiday for Sabah and Sarawak, and also my only girl's birthday. We didn't hold any birthday bash for her this year. Just a simple outing and a small and private cake-cutting ceremony at home with family members. I can't upload the pics yet cos i didn't snap any. I have to get the pics from my sister. So, will have to postpone that.

Lisa is now 3 years old. Though very naughty and stubborn, we love her dearly. She's a funny and cheerful girl. Bubbly personality. After a year of trying to potty-trained her, now i can smile at her progress. I know some kids are fully potty-trained at 2. But i'm proud of my girl though she's quite slow in this aspect. At least now she has shown progress. Of course accidents do happen. Probably she was too caught up in the moment that she forgot to run to the toilet. But other times she did perfectly well. Peeing and pooing. She doesn't even need the 'make-believe' toilet. :-)

Other events: Hari Raya Open House. We visited a few relatives houses and friends. But i think I've too much of the food already. haha...Too full. By the end of the day, i almost vomited. Maybe my tummy is smaller now..*wink*

On the 21st September, my hubby's turn to blow the candle. hehe...I cooked special biryani rice, kurma and curry dishes. Again, just a simple family celebration. Will post some pics soon.

Ramadhan breakfast.

These are some pics i've taken at a restaurant i frequented this Ramadhan month in Bongawan. The canteen in my school is closed for the month so I have to satisfy my hunger elsewhere. As there is no other choice, this is the only restaurant i go to every morning to have my breakfast. There's another chinese restaurant there but I think this is just fine. Very old restaurant kan?

I eat this everyday! NO choice. They only serve 'fried mee hoon' and 'fried mee' for breakfast with side dishes like bean curd and dumplings. The most popular is the 'cakui' and 'tausa piang'. (as you can see in the pic above). Sometimes they do have slices of cakes wrapped in plastic or the 'kouchung' (not sure of the spelling); the rice dumpling with nut fillings. Though simple, i like the taste. Not bad at all for an old restaurant. But to have lunch here is not advisable. I went there for lunch once as I have extra class at 1.30pm. They don't have anything except fried 'maggie'. Yes, the 'maggie goreng' like indomie or other brands. So frustrating. But, I have no choice! Haha...I know i should 'tapau' or eat at home but sometimes i don't have enough time cos i have to punch in before 6.40am and it's a half an hour drive from home. Most of the time, i only have time to fill in my water bottle. I don't even have time to put on any make up except the day cream. :-)
