I'm Baaaaaaack

So after that really long hiatus due to The Eldest's final exams, I finally have the time to sit and blog about absolutely nothing at all.. once again... Oh God the exam stress was really bad for me but then again maybe I brought this onto myself.. by having kids. I know.. I know.. many others would say just let her go and do the exams  but as a parent, shouldn't we help them prepare for it if we know that it would help them a lot more? For me it was the cooking 3-4 meals a day that really made me tired!!!  Coz brain food needs to be shoved into every brain cell for at least a month nearing exam periods....  Now, she can live off junk food for a while.... So far the very few results that she's gotten back are alright.. but then I realized her teacher's kinda have higher expectations than me! And mine are already sky high. Thing is, we know she can do it.. we know she can score fantastically IF SHE STOPS HER SILLY MISTAKES PHASE. God, please le...

Exams, Toddlers and Christmas.

Ola!! Well honestly, there isn't much to blog about these days other than the RAIN.. Also because The Eldest is due for her Final Exams in about 9 days so there's a mad rush of trying to stuff every bit of information into her head by then Not an easy task, but someone's gotta do it... Mother's in general, working or stay at home, tend to go ballistic when it's nearing the exam period.. why? because we want them to do well!!!  And many times, it can get frustrating as hell... especially when you've specifically told them  REMEMBER IT THIS WAY SO YOU DON'T MAKE THIS SILLY MISTAKE... But when they get home..  SILLY MISTAKES GALORE. Then mother's become either this: or this: There is absolutely NO in between!!! I usually want to strangle The Eldest but try to refrain from doing so as I'd much rather sleep on my nice comfy bed compared to the cold hard floors of PRISON!  Lately, I've be...

The Weekend. Updated.

Weekends are usually spent with family.. and the past weekend we did exactly that! Woke up on Saturday and thought hmmm.. what do we do today? Weather looked crappy. was either too hot or raining!  Then a message came in from Shah asking were we having dinner together? As usual the discussion about what to eat lasted longer than deciding if we were going to meet up.. You see, The Cousins try to meet up as often as we can.. It's becoming a habit of meeting up at least once a month but I realized that we ask each other every weekend if we're going for makan...   Ended up in Sushi Mentai Kota Damansara.. We collectively love this place as the food is great and cheap too!! Usually when we have lunch or dinner there, say 4 of us, the bill comes to about RM54... That includes udon, curry rice dish, salmon head, sushi, green tea, chawanmushi and takoyaki. THANK YOU SHAH FOR DINNER!!! LAF YOU !!  Seriously though, if you want to head to Sushi Mentai for lunch...

Neighbours, Cooking and Arabic

Neighbours are funny creatures don't you think? When God said LOVE THY NEIGHBOURS...  He clearly didn't realize what idiots homosapiens would turn out to be. Take yesterday for instance... Sent The Eldest to school and when I reached home, parked the car, took The Youngest out of her car seat then my neighbour decided to ask me: "This one also yours ah?" while pointing at The Youngest I gave her a really 'what are you talking about' kinda face and said Yeah.... When my brain was actually telling me to say  "Oh no, found her at the side of the road and decided to pick her up and bring her home" Then she says "Oh, so you have 2 kids?"... Yes aunty, I have 2 kids. Okay well, give her the benefit of the doubt because they kinda just moved in on Sunday. Thunderstorm wise, it's hitting different areas everyday. Monday it was Klang, Tuesday it was Puchong, and yesterday it hit ...

Aches, Pains and Disaster

Sigh With age comes all sorts of aches and pains.. and this is why I have been away for the past 5 days. It started on Saturday when I had a massive back pain due to my period.. It use to hurt a little but now it's like LIE DOWN OR FEEL LIKE DYING kinda pain.. So The Husband took The Eldest to her friend's birthday party while I sat home with The Youngest.. rather I was lying on the bed with my Kindle while she did what she wanted to Then Sunday, felt this pain that went all the way from my left ear right to my shoulder! Gah. hurt like mad and when I Googled, the result was?  "YOU ARE HAVING A HEART ATTACK" NEVER GOOGLE YOUR SYMPTOMS BECAUSE YOU WILL EITHER HAVE CANCER OR ARE IN THE MIDDLE OF A HEART ATTACK Worried me to no end and I was actually frightened to fall asleep!  Just in case I didn't wake up.  Got up on Monday, and The Husband is down with a horrid flu... I decided since the pain was still there, I'd better go get it ...
