Not Done Yet

Unpacking that is. There are a few boxes of stuff lying in the bedroom, the kitchen and my hubby’s study room. Can’t wait to dismantle all the boxes and clear away the mess. Yesterday, I realised that my lava rock pendant was missing. I remember putting it in the little basket together with the bottles of perfumes. However it was not there. Then I searched the makeup box, the drawers and whatever small boxes and bags I could remember but still couldn’t find it. Bummer. A couple of hours later, I went back to the room and this time I checked the small pouch in the drawer where I keep the watches. Voila….I found the pendant 🙂 Really forgetful of me. I also saw my husband’s old medical bracelet in the same pouch 😀

To Market To Market

We went to the market this morning and oh boy, the market is sure crowded and being a Public Holiday today, the situation becomes rather chaotic. Cars were jammed on the main road and lots of honking and swearing too 🙂 I guess many people are taking advantage of the holiday to come out and shop for CNY stuff. I see lots of pussywillows, money-trees, kamquat trees, bamboo shoots, etc. Chinese New Year decoration stuff are everywhere. Also lots of stalls selling red clothing 😀

Finally, I managed to buy some CNY cookies. There are just so many different types to choose from and I wish I could buy all of them….hehehehee. I only bought from one stall because it was too crowded to check out the others. Will shop for more another day. I hope I can control myself and only start eating them on the first day of CNY 😉

Happy Thaipusam

Tomorrow is Thaipusam Day and the Prime Minister made the announcement a few days ago that it will be a Public Holiday for Kuala Lumpur. Normally it is not and only folks in Selangor (and a few other places) get a holiday. However, my poor sis’s company didn’t declare it as a public holiday so she has to work tomorrow 🙁 What a bummer! I guess Thaipusam is not a compulsory holiday so certain companies can choose to remain open.

I don’t think we will be going to the malls tomorrow as they would be packed, as usual. Maybe we will go on a weekday instead to avoid the crowds. I really must start shopping for the CNY cookies. It is only 2 weeks to go *yikes*

Ashley and Her Thumb

See my thumb-sucking munchkin? When she is tired, she would come to me, sucks her thumb and uses the other hand to play with my hair. Just like this Ashley too 😉 Also, when she is concentrating on a certain shows on tv, she would do the same, minus the hair touching. Sometimes she won’t sit on the chair but squat and lift her leg up like that. *slaps forehead* Is she going to be a future martial artist? Will see 😉

Guess What?

My hubby did something on our computers and now we don’t have wifi anymore. This means I can’t use the computer to do my work when I’m upstairs in my room. I need to be able to have access to the internet when I am upstairs because I can hear Ashley if she cries. This happens very often because she is a light sleeper and still not used to the barking of the neighbour’s dogs 🙁 Anyways, my husband called the technician yesterday and he is only coming over to check tomorrow. Another great news was that at around 12pm today, the Maxis server was down. You see, I really can vomit blood! Can’t have access to the internet the whole afternoon. So, we decided to go to Ikea for more shopping 😉
We had early dinner at Uncle Lim’s. The food was so delicious. I ordered Assam Laksa while hubby had the Special Nasi Lemak with Beef rendang and sotong. We sat next to a couple with a son who is about Ashley’s age. While we were enjoying our food, the man at the next table just came over to ours and took the box of tissues or wipes back to his table….WITHOUT ASKING. Can you believe how rude this person is? We were taken aback and real pissed off by his action. When I needed some tissues, I tried to ask the staff to get me a box but as usual, they were too busy walking in and out to notice me trying to call them. My hubby just went back to that fella’s table and took the box of tissue back….muahahahahhahahaha!!! Then, it was his turn to be taken aback. He stared at my hubby for a while. Luckily they didn’t throw nasi lemak at each other 😀 We left soon after to Ikea 🙂

Our First Tree

A day before we moved into our house, my mum bought a little kumquat tree and placed it at the porch 🙂 Since CNY is around the corner, kumquat trees are being sold everywhere. My mum is quite superstitious (more as she grows older) and she said the name of the kumquat sounds auspicious and good to have when we move into the house *shake head* See, my mum even bought a red cloth to tie the pot and also some red decor stuff to hang on the tree. 2 nights ago, she put the tree further out at the porch so that it would be able to get some dewdrops. Tomorrow, she’s going to the market to buy more red decorative stuff for the tree *faint*

Last Round

This afternoon, we went back to our apartment to do a final round of packing. My husband’s collection of wine are still up in the cupboard and some of Ashley’s new clothes are still in the closet. I also found some floor mats which were stashed way back in the cupboard. For the past 1 week, hubby has been going back to the apartment to do some minor packing and bring the boxes over to our house. We really have a lot of stuff and I don’t know how we managed to keep so many things in our small apartment. Now, what’s left are the furniture, beds and some kitchen utensils. My youngest sister will be moving in to stay at our apartment. Good thing is that she doesn’t need to buy any furniture to furnish the place, though she likes modern furniture and ours are not really her style 😉

CNY mood

I am so in the CNY mood. Everywhere I go, I could hear the CNY songs. Actually I kinda like these songs. It’s only once a year so I don’t mind hearing them over and over again 😀 We just got back from the market and we got these *smile*

They are Nin Kao” which according to my mom, have to be placed in the middle of the dining table throughout the Chinese New Year. Also need to place some mandarin oranges around them. I find that “Nin Kao” look better when they are wrapped in banana leaves 😀

I’ve Got Mail AgAiN :D

On Monday, a good-looking UPS guy rang my doorbell. When I saw the package he was holding, I knew it’s the one that I have been waiting for. Luckily the package arrived just before we moved to our house 😀

I finally got my SUNSILK stuff! Last month, I did a post on this and I received these lovely gifts for my work, all the way from the US of A 😉 Thanks to this wonderful lady , the founder of Blogs Do Make Money Community, I have the chance to make some $$ on this blog and also receive gifts from writing opportunities.

Besides the shampoos and conditioners, I also received this pair of bright coloured flip-flops. However, it was a Size 39. Wawawawawawawa…..they are too big! I wear a Size 36 (I have dainty feet mah) *lol*

Exhausted

That’s how we are feeling now. All of us…….hubby, my mum and I. The only person who is still active like the Energizer bunny is Ashley. Until today, my hubby is still going back to our apartment to pack some less important stuff and bring them over. The movers are coming today to move the washing machine, 2 chest drawers and the clothes dryer rack. There are still bags of clothes in the bedrooms, waiting to be hanged. The laundry is piling up and so are the clothes to be ironed 🙁

Thanks everyone for all your comments about us moving. Mott is right. I love the spaciousness of the house. However, my legs are killing me from climbing up and down the stairs (you reckon I’ll be able to lose some weight from this?) The only person who enjoys it is none other than the lil’ missy. She also loves to see the ceiling fan spinning and never fail to ask us to switch on the fan whenever she enters a room. Yup..Ashley is not used to the ceiling fans as we have been using stand fans in the apartment 😉

Ok…gotta go hang Ashley’s clothes in the cupboard. Thanks for dropping by. Will hop over to your blogs soon ;D
