Genting Trip Nov 2009

This is a terribly overdue post!!! But better late than never......

Brought the kids to genting last month together with my mum, sister and 2 nieces.




Woke up early in the morning at about 5plus. Yun Yi was so excited that she woke up at 4am on her own!!!



On the bus. Didi was very well behaved and no toilet issues either.

I love this picture!! Maid with the kids.

Height limits for the different rides.







Look at Didi's blur look.....

Daddy was the busy one playing the arcade games with the kids while I snapped away with my camera.



Think the next time we go, each of us can handle our own bikes liao.





Day 2 weather was fantastic and great for the outdoor theme park.

Me and my mama!!

With Yun Lin on Viking Ship, hubby and Yun Yi was on the ride as well. Yun Yi was screaming away while Yu Lin kept her head buried between hands on the handle!!

Clowns!!

Koi pond.

Went on this ride which we had to paddle the boat. Erm, cannot call it a boat, more like a floating device. One round only my legs too tired liao. Yun Yi told me, never mind mummy, you rest I paddle us back! Wahahaha... so touched. But I still paddled together with her lah.

Didi's favourite ride of all, the antique car!! He was super serious and turned his steering whenever the car was turning. He kept telling me he likes this ride and wants to go back again.



















On board the Ferris Wheel!!

Muacks!!



The trip was great, probably can go back again a few years later when Yong Ye is older and tall enough for the other rides.

10th Year Since "I Do"

Today marks the 10th year since we both said "I Do".

Some people tell me it's not easy to have come this far. Some people tell me that we still have a long way to go. Some people tell me that time flies and it has been 10 years already. Some people tell me that they can't believe that we have only been married for 10 years.

Whatever it is, it has been a long way. It hasn't been exactly smooth sailing for us and we've had our fair share of many ups and downs. But still, we made it here today and yes we should be proud of ourselves.

Considering that we were both so young when we decided to spend the rest of our lives together back then. Considering the sacrifices and efforts we put in to build a life together. Considering the fact that we have so many friends whose marriages have already broken down while we are still going relatively strong. So yes, we are happy to have made it this far.

No plans for a fancy dinner whatsoever. Probably we'll each have a beer tonight and be thankful that we still share a bed together.

Happy 10th wedding anniversary to us. Cheers.

Happy 4th Birthday - Yong Ye

Didi turns 4 today!!

Gave him his burthday gift this morning, a "Hulk" armour truck!!













Happy birthday sweetie!! Love you much.

Updates

Ok, my life is boring...... that explains why there hasn't been much updates recently. Nothing exciting is happening and nothing to look forward to either. Of course there's the occasional hiccup at home or at work, but nothing's spinning out of control yet.

Been busy with the maids upcoming work permit renewal and home leave in January. I am so going to declare myself bankrupt. Renewed her passport $85, work permit renewal plus all the insurance and guarantee $280, employment contract for home leave $350 and air tickets $300. She go back once I gotta spend almost a thousand bucks. Not complaining cos she's a great help to us, just that must it cost so much???!!

Planned a trip with hubby and friends to somewhere near but nice!! Finally something to look forward to. Been awhile since we went somewhere for R&R and will also be the first time Lena and me travelling together to somewhere without a casino!!

Am watching "Criminal Minds" now and the show is awesome!! And it is so true that there are so many people with twisted minds out there. Not to mention that Gossip Girl season 3 is showing now and also Desperate Housewives season 6 too! Busy busy busy....

And I wanna watch this show.........

Durian Pengat

Finally went to try the dessert stall which was featured in 抢摊大行动2 at Commonwealth.

Hubby queued for about 20mins for it and it was quite worth it.

Tasted pretty good with ice and gula meleka. But would I go back all the way again? Probably not, just too far for me and the waiting time needed just for dessert is to long.

My First Time

Finally after thinking about it for years, I did it today!!! I went to donate my blood this morning!!!


Sticker to indicate to the volunteers that this is my first time so that they can take care of me better!!


Pink bandage makes it all pretty and cheerful.


Thank you cards with date stamp to remindme of the next date I can donate again.


The whole "donating" process was really quick and no pain at all. Felt great after and really happy I did it. Definitely going back again as a regular donor. And I also signed up for the "Bone Marrow Donor Programme" where I will only be called upon if there is a match.

Communication

I think communication, the frequency and quality of it, is the most important factor in making a relationship work. Communicating your needs, fears, hopes, happiness and everything else.

The problem is not when you have problems communicating. It's when you don't even feel like communicating at all already, that's the problem. Really, that's when silence makes everyone's life a little less dark.

I don't need to be a gem to someone, I just don't wanna be dirt.

Struggles

Someone once told me that a good marriage is like the little ducks over there. Looks completely calm and unruffled, but underneath the water, they're paddling furiously to stay afloat.

I so seriously agree.
