2012 is here already!

Well, wasn't the movie 2012 here already way long ago? It's the actual year itself and we are all looking at another good year ahead, totally brushing off any fear of any sorts.

But I'm still stuck at my old nest, target to move before the new year begins failed! It's gonna be very messy moving home when school starts, and we were to go back to Ipoh a week before the cny eve for a relative's wedding and then another trip back for cny itself. That's really coming very very soon and I'm a nervous wreck thinking about it. Nonetheless, excitedly looking forward to it.

With a brand new awesome white kitchen, my resolution is, of course, to cook more, hold more parties, and elsewhere, to teach my children more, sew more, and pamper myself more. And certainly, to make love more!

It's gonna be good, happy 2012 to alll of you too!

A weekend break in Ipoh.

Live blogging from Ipoh!

I am here to attend a cousin brother's wedding and hours after arriving, I only realised I forgot to bring back my evening dress. Had no choice but to find a new one for myself, I swear I didn't forget on purpose *wink*. The new one is absolutely stunning and you bet I'll be camwhoring during the dinner tomorrow night!

As the dinner is on a workday, hubs had to return by himself just an hour ago on the train, while I am stuck at my inlaw's for 2 more nights. Tomorrow would be a full day, so I'm not worried at all, but the minutes after he left, I felt...kinda empty! I so wish to go for a drink or two with a friend or more, but I also feel I should be staying put to be the "guai-guai" daughter inlaw here. Sigh!! Certainly more freedom if I'm at my own parents home.

Last evening after dinner, it was a movie night with hubs, having planned earlier with his cousin sis to get our tickets in advance. Sure sold out and no way I would get those tickets if we waited till we get home. It was a very enjoyable movie, I was totally smittened by Tom Cruise in his reprise role as Ethan Hunt, ogling at him the whole way through, never mind if the whole plot is so lack of sense. I am looking forward to watch my the other idol from next week as well.

Oh, did I mention I was here too for a gathering with old high school friends? It was weird it was held in a karaoke joint when the music was blasting away while there wasn't anyone singing but shouting on top of their lungs to catch up with each other. However, I had fun singing the latest hit songs mostly while the rest ate, chat, take pictures to upload to fb and the rest, to try having a great time? I don't know! What I know is I was so backdated by how things work around in karaoke. There are Wii games to play in the room and a computer for people to log in to the internet too. Whole family package entertainment! Maybe I shall suggest to hold didi's birthday party in a karaoke room next year since his birthday will fall in the CNY week. The kids would surely be thrilled while we would be entertained fully with their rapping! *gasp*!!

Argh! Bedtime, please come early, the boredom is gonna kill me, but lucky I still have neighbor's wifi to login.

Koh Samui preview

I almost could have turned back to KL at Koh Samui's airport on departure day.

That was when the immigration officer at KL told me my passport's expiry date is just less than 3 months away. I had thought it should be ok since it's so near, duh!

It was a worrying 2 hours plane ride, but nevertheless, I was passed through without any hitch at all. Thank goodness!

The airport didn't look like one, it looked more like a holiday resort to me! You just have to go there and see for yourself. It's so different and lovely, absolutely starts the holiday mood straight away!

Meanwhile, I'm back home and VERY busy trying to get things in place for the new home to be ready. I so wanna move right now cause even the current kitchen's light has gone awry and it's dark day and night in the kitchen. I have no mood to cook at all right now! Argh!!!

Scholastic Book Buffet experience.

It's the first time I ever heard of a book buffet!

How it works, you buy a bag for RM49.90 and you are allowed to stuff as many books as you can into the bag for a time limit of 15 mins.

I would have thought such a small bag would get me 5 or 6 books, but look at this!

23 books! Interesting.

Now we can all have these books as dinner. Yummy!

Sale sale sale!!!!

Love the shoes!!

And the clothes for korkor, didi, meimei and papa.

Some new earrings for my increasing vain-ness.

A pair of boxers for papa.

Papa's much longed-for memory pillow.

Total damage = close to 1k!! *gasp*

Bad Bad Sales!

End of the year activities

Ooh wow! December already! And blink an eye again, it's gor-nien again loorr...

We are so gonna be busy for this whole month! For one, hubs and I would be going for a short break, sans the kids. I feel so awful leaving them behind, really I do, I do, I do... so, the most I could try to make it easier this time is to leave them with their favorite gadgets in their own familiar nest. Anyway, 2 nights would zoom by real fast, huh?

Then, there would be some lunch gatherings with some girlfriends, all from the high school. One in KL, another one in Ipoh. Whilst in Ipoh, 1 of my other 3 cousin brothers (whom still haven't tie the knot yet among MANY cousins) is gonna get married and how could I miss this chance of a family get-together? I indeed look forward to it.

After which, we are going to have a night at PD before the new year begins, but on top of everything else, the highlight of December? We are going to move to our brand new home! Looking at the way things are looking, I'm doubtful but still hopeful. *fingers crossed*

In the meantime, I have bought the new year clothes for the family *happy*, and need to wrap all their books before school starts, need to buy their school uniforms (the old ones are all worn out and BLACK!) and school stuffs, need to pack ALL OUR THINGS for moving home!!! See? Think also felt exhausted already!

I think the next thing I'm gonna do is to go to salon instead. To ensure I have good hairdays ahead, what else!
