High living expenses

It's getting more and more expensive to live in the city nowadays. Eating out, a meal for a family easily cost 200! And we're not even talking about good, expensive 5 star hotel food. It's just a meal at a normal restaurant. What's more, the school fees for a 5 year old is much more expensive in the city compare to the urban areas, say $340 vs $80, and again, it's the normal standard school and not too international privatized ones. Sigh!

The worst thing is, while price for everything increases steadily like every quarter of the year, but not the people's earning. Many companies are very thrifty when it comes to salary increment, starting by 0.5percent. That's what my friend told me, and it happened to her company. How pathetic is that.
How I wish, earning money is as easy as collecting gold bullion that dropped down from the sky! ::Daydreaming::

Pain that won't go away

I don't know when it all started but I think it was when I was pregnant with Maine, at about 6 weeks into the pregnancy that I get this butt pain that just gets more severe as the pregnancy progress. It's like my thigh were ripped apart, with a bull dozer on each side on my leg, putting all the pressure on my butt. And oh, how it hurts when I want, sleep, get up after sitting for too long. I bear with the pain, thinking it will go away after I had my baby, so it did go away, but recently I experience the pain which is worse than those I had during the pregnancy.

Occasionally I get this butt pain if I over worked myself from sitting for too long, or carrying heavy stuff! I really have no idea if this should be the case, but every single article I read online suggest seeking medical advice for sprain back, maybe I should consult a Accutane Lawsuit firm, perhaps it has something to do with Accutane injury. Erm, no harm seeking a free consultation.

Birthday Boys

My mom was with here with us for the weekend, and over the weekend, we celebrated Marcus and BB Ethan's Birthday. Wow, so much food over the weekend and I do not even dare to step on the weighing machine yet. Ouch! Hate the feeling of being fat!
Marcus 8th Birthday falls on 17th September, we had a kids party at home for his school mates and cousins. His dad hired a clown for 500 bucks and the inflated balloon thingy (the thing where kids jump in it when inflated), what do you call those? Well, let's just say the balloon castle la.
Woohoo..the kids had so much fun, they didn't want to go home! I kid you not!!

Then we had a hi tea on Ethan's 1st Birthday, so much food we had with a good time catching up. Oh, I'm all out for another great weekend!! Yippie! Aaaaand..it's only Wednesday. Darn!

Happy Birthday Marcus

September 17th is Marcus Birthday.

Today we'll be celebrating his birthday with his friends, mainly his classmates. Anyway, I went to Toys R Us wanting to find a birthday gift for Marcus, but then, all I see is expensive rubbish! Literally none! I ended up not buying him any toys, as I thought it's a waste of money. Money can sure be put to good use, like investing in a pair of good shoes, or buying bullion for keepsake. We Chinese love to buy gold as Birthday gift, as it has good value.

Anyway, from what was supposed to be a trip to Toys R Us getting a gift for Marcus, I came home empty handed. I wanted to get him a pair of roller blade but couldn't find any stores selling it, gave up and went home.

Party starting at 10.30am, I got to catch some sleep and wake up early tomorrow to prepare the food. His dad actually hired a clown! Oh, this party is going to be a blast. It's time to party!

My baby girl- a rose among the thorns

Call me lucky, I have a boy and a girl. Proud to say that my princess is the first girl born into this generation, after 10 boys amongst my siblings. I am so blessed! Just like a rose among the thorns, my baby girl is always surrounded by a group of lovely cousin boys, and always playing with the guns and trucks the boys has around the house. Should I be worried that she's going to grow up like a tomboy? Erm, I'm not worried at all. I believe as she grows older, she will be fond of girly things.

She's a very lucky girl, even though she's only one, she already has tonnes of hair accessories, dresses she got as gifts from friends and relatives. I even bought barbie dolls for her way before she was born, but she's too young for it. Once she's over two years old, I think she will love playing dres up with those dolls. You know, maybe practice her fashion sense and skills on a doll, who knows she'll grow up wanting to be a fashion designer or even a make up artist. Maybe then we can enroll her in the Regency Beauty Institute. Well, it's never to early for mommy to dream, isn't it?

Blog sidebar appears below the post!

Sharks, I'm having a problem here with my other blog. The previous blog template was actually a very nice one, but I was itching to change it, then the ultimately bad happened, no matter what blog template I choose, the size bar will drop way down below the post! Arggh! And I tried adjusting the width and everything in html, but it just won't work! Now my blog looks retarded.

Itchy hands, big headache!

If you happened to google this problem and found me, please drop me a comment- I mean a solution. Thanks!

Happy Holidays..

Selamat Hari Raya to all Muslims celebrating Hari Raya Aidilfitri in the world. For us here in Malaysia, we’re on a week long holiday! Shern’s kindergarten gets an extra day of holiday on Monday, while Marcus will be back in school on Monday. Now that it’s holiday, the kids are so taking it easy at home, playing with toys toys toys all the time, I’ve banned them for watching TV so they don’t get to watch telly unless they secretly do it when I wasn’t aware.

The maid is one lucky lady, I present her with a watch as gift for this Raya, and my eldest sister actually bought her a pair of very beautiful gold earrings. She has been wanting to get herself a pair of gold necklace, asking us to bring her to the goldsmith when we’re free, but we’re always not free. Hmmpph. But nevertheless, she’s a good maid and I think she deserves everything we gave her. Just hope that she’ll keep all the gifts we gave her over the years, gold bullion or not, to herself, and not to pawn it when she goes back.
