Me & My Babies.....

My KPI for this quarter – update my blog EVERY week!

So , for this week – here’s my update:

Introducing our new family member, Spidey (Naqeeb loves Spiderman so much) & Fifi.


Spidey is owned by Naqeeb and Fifi belongs to Nasreen (yes, we can tell from their choices of names eh). After so much hesitation, we finally bought the hamsters for the children. I could tell even from looking at their faces, they were really, truly happy to receive the RM40 hamsters. I feel that there’s just so many inexpensive ways to please our children, but somehow, we - the parents - choose to shower them with hi-tech toys, expensive Barbie sets, up-to-date Lego boxes…… and in the end, everything will be dumped into the big toy bin which gets cleaned only 2-3 times in a year! (or was it a once-a-year event?? I must check my cleaning schedule.)

Oh, there’s another member to introduce…… meet my new grey, C-kay.


Although we bought Elvy (shown below) to replace our Elvy who escaped last month, we feel that it’s just not the same. Elvy (now) is smart but she just doesn’t allow the children to touch her…. and she comes with a little bit of attitude problem. heehehe So that wild thought suddenly dawned on us…. And a few weeks back, we went to get another African Grey… and we named the bird C-Kay. It’s still a baby and looks so so cute….

Besides the new pets, our fish, Mr Polka, died on us when we were in Australia – may he rests in peace. Sob! Sob! My mother said it was so heavy when she took the fish out from the aquarium. Poor fish. It was our fourth Arowana…. which died on us every time. We’ve decided – no more fish in the house…!

And last but not least, Crystal is still around and still kicking…. And getting naughtier!


OK… that completes the update on my latest pets.

Have a wonderful week ahead! Can’t wait for the long weekend!!!!

I am busy, I'm confused!

I have been very quiet this week.. no updates, no hopping around leaving any trail of my existence, probably due to the following reasons: 1. Nasreen will be having her exam next week, so I’m busy reviewing her syllabus (and also nagging to make sure she prepares herself). Yes, instead of her reviewing her books, the responsibility – by default – is shifted to me…. Hmm, mothers nowadays. We feel the pressure more than our kids (and we panic even more while waiting for the results to come out). Hehehe. I can’t remember my mother even touched my textbooks when I was in Primary 3. No wonder we grow old faster these days…. 2. I’m having mood swings this week. One day, I feel elated, then mellow on the next day, moody on the following day. Work is adding on my desk, scope is being expanded, news is floating around and remarks are beings smacked everywhere (manage to steer clear of some and the rest sometimes just landed right on my very lap). Don’t you hate it when you are so positive that ...
Yes, I’ve been blessed with a lot of wonderful people around me….. yes friends, you! Read on…. Yesterday, around 6.15pm, I was in the middle of reviewing something when I was called for a meeting with one of big bosses here…. And I was thinking in anger, ‘Great! It’s 6.30pm and they want to have a meeting. Don’t they have families to run back home to????” So I got up from my chair and ran down to one of the meeting rooms in Level 5. I peeped through the small glass and the room was dark and empty. They were not even they yet! Heck! But when I pushed open the door, suddenly I heard people screaming and laughing and shouting, “Happy Birthday To You!!!!” and everyone was holding a candle in their hand. Gosh! My colleagues planned a Birthday Party for me. No wonder the department was empty when I left and I didn’t even notice. I was speechless! I was asked to blow the candles that they were holding and those on the cake (oh! The cake was so yummylicious!) I was so touched. Everybody was th...

It was Nik's Birthday

It was my husband’s birthday yesterday and we took the day off to ‘merewang’ while feeling young, kononnya. The theme of the celebration? Reminiscing the days when we were courting back in 1993 minus the snow.... ancient sungguh rasanya! We had our breakfast at O’Brien’s early in the morning and took a slow stroll along the shops in OU and enjoyed every minute of it (at 10am in the morning, mind you, and the shops were barely opened). Later we watched ‘Lake House’ and we were charged RM12 only for 2 tickets (the early bird tickets were so damn cheap, I almost fainted!). There were only a few couples inside and we took the opportunity to sit right at the middle (ikut suka hati), since the theater was quite empty. How was the movie? Hmm… ok la, I would say it was the right movie for the occasion… hehe. A bit slow though, biasa la, romantic piece. The ending part was quite ‘touchy’ and yes, Mr Reeves was so stunningly handsome (oh yes, nampak tua sikit la and still got the looks). ...
