Less than a month before our getaway but can't seem to get my hands on any good walking-shoes. Can't drag C*** out this weekend, so let's wait for another week (or two), for the tense to build up then I'd probably gonna be less choosy,then maybe, just maybe, the search gonna be pretty easy. Dah kelam kabut nanti, beggars can't be choosers (kot).

I've been scouting around for something online for the past week and I'm pretty much amused with the different types of online sellers. Some just replied with a simple one word, yes or no regardless of your how and why questions. Some would sweet-talk you to oblivion. Some would magically turn into an Along Bkt Beruntung the moment that you thank them for their kind responds but would like to keep your options open and scout around some more, saying

 "If you dont like to buy it from me...dont ask me. Thx"

Okay that's a direct quote. I just don't get it. Did she expect me to blindly buy something without asking? Adekah once asked, considered sold? Might as well, put on a note on the website saying "You ask, you buy - else die". Sungguh la gangsta paradise. T_T

Pbttt...

I just started  to resume my long lost journey with Herbalife. The last time was before the marriage and the almost 2 y/o baby, circa 2008. It was that long. I'm well stocked up for now - which gonna last me for 2 months or so. I'm not a skinny person to begin with so it's not a dream of mine to be super skinny.

I'll be happy to just get back to my pre-pregnancy weight again which I actually managed to do in less than 2 months after the little one was born, but sadly it has been increasing for a quite a bit since I've weaned off the baby 5 months ago.(It's true that BF helps to shed those nasty fat off).  I'm just trying to put a stop to the mega fatness journey, before I turn into a dugong and before I have to start dragging myself around instead of walking. he he. After all, I do have a toddler to run after (& C*** to look after). I have to stay up and running for that. 

So yea, berusahalah! :P

Loads of stuff to write but I hafta admit that I'm enjoying my offline life.

So yea, we joined the balik-kg-during-CNY bandwagon - it's such an easy wagon to jump in, cuti panjang harus la head up North jumpa keluarga tercinta, bad traffic or not. Being stuck in the traffic was sorta tiring - especially during our drive home, but spending the break with the family is priceless. I'd do it again in a heartbeat.

We had our pit-stops in Ipoh during both of our drives to and from Kedah. The 1st one to stuff ourselves with fast food and the 2nd one with the famous (claimed by C***) Mee rebus Ramli (kot?). If you ask me, I'd say "Boleh lah."

The little one loves kuih karas. She also digs kuih siput, maruku, kerepek bawang and the lot. I love those stuff too, so I'm not complaining - tho her daddy was like "Biasa la taste orang kampung" - but she prefers pasta from rice. So orang kampung Malaysia and (sometimes) Italy ka? :P

We signed the SPA for our (InsyaAllah) 1st crib sometime earlier this month. My first real (financial) commitment (because it's HUGE compared to other commitments yang agak picisan and the banker thought it's funny for a 28y/o not to have any credit history - that's probably why I just signed up for my 1st plastic money last week - which I'm just going to use for emergencies, promise.) . I'm hoping for a breezy journey and for it to be completed on time. Haih, I can't wait to have my own 2 in 1(Playroom/Mini Library) room and a cute kitchen!

Managed to submit our Visa applications (like finally!) during lunch time yesterday (the queues were terrible, so terrible that I had to cheat for a bit, else I'll be glued until the end of their office hour and probably mine T_T) and it's going to be ready by Friday. So yea, 1 step closer to our March getaway. :)

I'm hoping for something big this year, so yea, time to lose those extra ehem, fat for a bit.Oih, I've been holding on to these fat for far too long. It's not even baby fat since I've lost em all during confinement. This is more like too-much-TLC fat. Endless kasih sayang and too much good (fatty) food gonna do this ya. I need to cut em off, no, not the kasih sayang,but the fatty food. Sila la insaf, need to shake the fat away before I turn into a dugong.

Insisted on wearing a down jacket since there's a stray butterfly tetiba masuk rumah - she detest the idea of the little creature landing on her, butterfly pon takot T_T.

The little one is so manja these days, so much so that it breaks my heart when I can't spend more time watching her doing her clever stuff during weekdays. Her bedtime is getting a wee bit late now. 10-10.30PM compared to 9.30-10PM previously as she prefers to drag me into playing one of her puzzles or just simply lie on top of me so that I could just give her a bear hug or simply rub her back - probably to compensate for the time lost when we're not together. 

Haih la anak, if only money grows on tree.

My little baby turned 21 month old last 2 weeks, she'll be two in 3 months. Time flies indeed.

She's a little clever copycat. Whenever she asked for the tablet whilst it's being charged, I'd switch off the charger, unplug the connecter and bring the tablet to her, that's the normal SOP(standard operation procedure). Later we discovered that she self-taught herself how to switch off the charger, unplug and hand it over to me whilst saying "Haa..nih!" yang bermaksud "Mum, switch this on for me". (Yea, we didn't teach her how to switch it on,else she'll help herself with it 24/7 lak nanti) .Sometimes the same thing goes to C*** cellphone,pantang dia nampak the charger light turned on, nanti dia pegi tutup. So C*** would sometimes ended up with a half-charged cellphone. :P 

She's afraid of C***(sometimes) and never ever seems to be really afraid of me - despite my angry face, high-pitched voice segala - tho sometimes she'd cry for a few seconds whilst running to me for a hug. Yea, mummy yang marah, tapi still nak datang hug mummy. Hai la anak. Remind me again why it's hard to be angry or even stay angry at you.

She loves corn, be it corn on the cob, corn in a cup etc, as long as it's corn. Few weeks back whilst we were doing some grocery shopping, she saw one of those cereal drinks with a pic of a bunch yummy-looking golden corns on the packaging. It goes without saying that she went and drag the packaging off the shelf and asked us to open em for her - much to our amusement lah. Beria suruh bukak sebab nak makan jagung. he he. How she screamed when we put the stuff back on the shelf, so we quickly went to the Daily Fresh kiosk to get her a cup of corn. :P

She'd tell us each time she made a poo poo by making the 'smelly' face - little hand fanning nose included, and she'd drag either one of us to the bathroom for a wash. So these days, I don't have to peek into her diaper each time something smells funny anymore. he he. :)

She inherited our love for food and quite adventurous at that. Awesome appetite. She'll survive even on a simple olive oil + garlic + pasta + herbs + cheese meal (which makes traveling easy).  Her current favourite snack is the jumbo seedless raisins, could actually finish up a big pack of em in a day. Mak kena bukak ladang anggur la gini. T_T

1 more lower lateral incisor is peeking out, so 14 cute little gigi so far. Owh, she bites (sometimes).

She's quick to gauge her parents mood, especially when she's about to do something sneaky - like trying to tear a page off from my novel, the moment she realizes that we noticed that something fishy is going on and when we're about to tell her off, she'll put on her biggest smile and hand over whatever item she's holding. Yea, melting the parents' hearts with a sweet innocent smile is the key.

Depending on her mood, she'll thank you each time you give her something - "macehh".

She loves to make friends these days tho she still have some sharing-is-caring issue. The other night when our insurance guy came over with his wife and 2 year old daughter, the little one was all friendly and nice (they even baby-talked with each other) tho sometimes she'd try to reclaim her toy back. Gotta teach her not to be too kedekut. How la to have a adik like this? :P (Fine, no adik yet, but the possibility is endless. he he).

She's super clingy nowadays - she'd prefer to be with me over anybody else, even her daddy when I'm around. Like menangis-macam-kena-dera-because-she-was-being-left-with-daddy-sebab-mummy-pegi-dapuq-nak-goreng-ikan clingy. Just when I thought that we're done with the clingy-ness. T_T

Starting to love to play masak-masak. Kacau-kacau sudu dalam her plastic cup and suruh minum or she'd spoon you some of her imaginary home cooked food. he he. Probably a good time to invest on a cute cooking set eh? I'm liking the idea, the daddy? Not so much. he he.

She's already on her 3rd toothbrush.(Berus gigi pon kira okay.1st baby syndrome much? T_T ) We started the brushing routine when she was 1 - since her 1st little gigi peeked out when she was 1 (should have familiarize her with it earlier, but her mummy is malas just like that). She's great with brushing tho when she's feeling lazy, she'll just open her mouth let you do the brushing instead. Takpe lah nak,asalkan gosok gigi. :P

She drew her 1st "pishh" on the draw-board. Yea, she drew em and showed em to her daddy. "Daddy, pishh!" .Much to her daddy amusement. (Bangga giler anak dia pandai lukih pish, he even posted em on FB, tho honestly, it actually looked like an blind whale to me. he he) :P

She's getting smarter every single minute of every single day with clever ideas of hers - that it's getting pretty tough to catch up and as a mom, I'm hoping for nothing more than her well-being dunia and akhirat.

Be good for mummy darling ♥

P/S: The additional 10kg baggage allowance for MAS = more space for cute souvenirs. Yey! Can't wait for March getaway.
