Its only me or what..

These past few days had been so warm....don't know whats the temp. Sweating each time I go out. Prefer to be in the room with my kids and the aircond doing its job.....so cooling........

HAPPY LABOUR DAY

TO ALL..

HAPPY LABOUR DAY...YOU GUYS DESERVE A BREAK AND JUST RELAX... : )

When I was almost due with leevan, I was wondering whether I can juggle with 2 kids alone. I do have my own maid to do all the housework, laundry and such including helping me taking care of Leah and Leevan.

I was worry with all the odds that may come my way especially at night. Leah always have nightmares and Leevan is still breastfeeding every 2 hours... I scare both of them will wake up at the same time.

I'm blessed as I have a very helpful and reliable to help me. Blessed to have supporting family in law and my family...have been helping me a lot.

When hubby is here, he will help as much as he can....tho, he is here to relax too...so, will let him go for his fav football and futsall game.....and always driving his bike masuk and keluar kampung....heehe...his 3rd baby tu the bike....

As a conclusion, things are not as bad as I can....I can manage without my hubby still....with our 2 kids...no need for him to worry.....will let him know. I still can spend time with Leah and do some reading, drawing and playing. I was worried that I wont be able to spend time with her but it prove me wrong..as long as i know how to divide my time....everything is possible....Its tiring but worth it...I know I won't have this quality time when they grow big already..... : )

Luckily we do not need to waste more money as hubby almost wanted to hire a 2nd maid to help me.....waste of money only......luckily......

Anyhow, I all the mothers that have more kids....some still have to work and come home manage the household and children.....mommas...u guys are really super hero....

Planning a Gateaway...

My hubby had discuss with me for a short holiday for the 2 of us...Tho, we do not know where to go....my mind so blur when he ask.....

I did try to get info in the Internet but still I don't know what type of holiday I want or where to go.....I prefer just leave it for hubby to decide......Easy...I just follow ja...heeehe.

He mention about Bali......but I was...ok also...(in my mind, sharon is going to Bali, can ask her later..heehe)still I was not sure about it after the conversation....then we discuss Hong Kong but macan indak siok....then I said...KL lah......I miss Genting ooooo....lama did not go there. Hubby was...KL lah?????

Then we discuss on few places again...Australia, Cambodia and Philippine. In the end, we decide to wait for him to come back then decide....We just go to any travel agency and choose a recommanded destination from there......easy work

The kids will be here...with my mama, itu pun we need to wait for them to come back from Philippines....my mama punya home town....don't know how long they will be there.....cause so many relatives there...My mama is the youngest of her 13 siblings. she is the only one in M'sia.

Looking forward for the SHORT holiday with hubby......

My poor baby

Leevan have problem with his tools recently...kesian him crying....I'm sure he is in pain....he keep on farting and I try to massage his belly slowly to ease his pain.....

He have sleepless nights and always crying....Went to Damai Specialist to see Dr. Sharon....its not the milk or so whatever.......his taking more of the formula then my breast milk..so, that's why his tool karas....have to give him more water and dilute the formula..

I must rajin breastfeed nie and makan as much as I can so i can produce more milk and try to avoid formula.....

I try the papaya soup and all the things people say lah but still my milk not enough for Leevan...not like Leah...maybe I'm producing much milk too but I don't realise it because Leevan keeps on drinking each 2 hour where else Leah 3-4 hours....Leevan drinks average of 3oz to 31/2 oz per feeding......baby boy really have big appetite kah? Did I mention, Leevan 600g in less then 2 weeks................

I pray that everything will be fine with my baby boy.....

Its end of the Month

Wow!Time really flies.....Its May tomorrow and in month of May...there must be so many KERAMAIAN going on.....kamaatan definitely is the highlight of this month....

Its nice to see all this traditional custom and dance....I still enjoy it after years and years.....I'm proud to be a SABAHAN....sabahan bah...heehe...not to mention the many etnics in Sabah...colourful costume and tradition.........

However, I feel Christmas is soon already.....haaaha.I know its a long way to go but time flies and by tomorrow..its already CHRISTMAS...heehe.I just love Christmas bah.......Hopefully hubby will be around this year, if cannot...what to do....there is another day..some more, its always special day for us when he comes home from work....

It will be my 3rd wedding anniversary too...unfortunately...belum pernah celebrate o...but does not matter lah...as long we have each other.....what I mean tidak pernah celebrate is we never manage to have each other that 1 special date..cause his offshore......maybe this year and maybe not...see lah......aside from that, its my hubby's birthday juga....heeehe....so, must be very super nice to him on that day...he never ask for something and rarely buy things for himself as a reward....he likes to pamper our kids lah....all this toys, cloths and gadget...and also me...all the nice gift........Thank You hubby.....

Aiya, still no call from hubby today...maybe tonight or maybe tomorrow...just can't wait to hear his voice....

Who knows waiting can be such a torture

Each time my hand phone rings, I can be so nervous...hoping that call is from my hubby...

Today is the 7th day that I have not heard from him...Initially, he told me earlier that there will be no any communication for this 7-8 days till the job is done. The place of the project have no any hand phone signal....

I hope the job is done by today and they will start sailing back...and my hubby can call me and he will be home by this weekend.....Such a torture oooooo..........I'm wondering how he is and so....Miss him tremendously....going crazy here....heeehe...I hope he calls today.......The kids miss him. Leah had been asking for her daddy........

Nostradamus

NOSTRADAMUSBorn Michel de Notredame on 14 December 1503 in St Remy, France, he was the oldest of five sons. His grandfather, Jean, taught him Latin, Greek, Hebrew, mathematics and astrology at an early age. Nostradamus received a medical degree in 1529 and became physician-in-ordinary to Charles IX during the bubonic plague. He is said to have had extraordinary healing abilities.
Nostradamus was in his late 40s when, it is told, he frequently went into a meditative state and had visions of the future. He began to document the visions in a mixture of Lain, French, and Greek quatrains, publishing his famous "Centuries" in 1558.

Nostradamus was married twice, losing his first wife and two children to the plague. He died on 2 July 1566. "Centuries" was translated into English in 1672. In 1781 it was banned by the Roman Catholic Church. Ironically, in 1553, when Nostradamus encountered a group of Franciscan monks he threw himself on his knees, clutching at the garment of one of the monks, Felice Peretti. When asked why he had done this he replied that he must yield "before his Holiness." Nineteen years after the death of Nostradamus, Peretti became Pope Sixtus V.

What the experts say Nostradamus predicted about the Balkan warThe war prophecy is reserved for someone whom Nostradamus refers to as "the tyrant." He predicted that the Slavs will "change their prince" and "raise an army in the mountains," suggesting a guerilla war. He speaks of "when the north pole is united" (perhaps NATO?), and there are many geographical references to the Balkans, such as Greece, Italy and the Mediterranean.

The war is linked to when the "eagle" (United States) and the "cock" (France) stand together. There also is specific reference to the time when England, Poland and Czechoslovakia (now the Czech Republic and Slovakia) "form a new alliance." The former Eastblock countries recently joined NATO.
He predicted that the Allies will win, that the war will be protracted, lasting seven months, and that it may go beyond the Balkans, toward the north, but that after the war there will be "peace on earth for a long time."
The forecasts by Nostradamus seemed to be confirmed by other seers, including Nicolaas van Rensburg, the famous South African seer who lived 1862 to 1926. At the turn of the 20th Century Van Rensburg had also predicted the use of electricity, the massacre of six million Jews, the Chernobyl disaster, the rise and fall of Russia, and the European Union - in the last two instances accurately describing the flags before they were designed. Of the third world war, he predicted that England would left weakened, while Germany would rise to become the world's most powerful nation.

What the experts say Nostradamus predicted about the WTC attack"In the year of the new century and nine months, from the sky will come a great king of terror. The sky will burn at 45 degrees... fire approaches the great new city... there will be thunder... The third big war will begin when the city is burning."So it is quoted among rumour mongers.

The facts are:

Nostradamus appears not to have made predictions about the World Trade Centre attack or, at least, none that could easily be understood from the quatrains. He did not mention "the new century," or "nine months" and New York is not at 45 degrees; the Manhattan latitude is 40° 47' N. For more, see Skeptic's Dictionary
What then?Of course, not only have the "experts" on the prophets not always been correct - the seers themselves have not always been quite so accurate in their forecasts.
Time will tell if the Kosovo conflict or, indeed, the World Trade Center attack had put the spark to a bigger barrel. As for the end of the world... Nostradamus predicted it to be the year 3786 or 3797, depending on which Nostradamus expert you believe.

My new Shoes

Before I deleted my previous blog, I mention I bought new shoes....

I am so happy that I'm able to slip my foot to high heels already...yeyeye....I was so strictly on flat sandels when I was pregnant with Leevan...I dont't want the urat- urat to come out so soon..It will be so ugly if I do have them very early....

Siok o buli pakai high heels already.....I bought them all within a day except the sport shoe. I know its too much but itu nafsu membeli and I was carried away to see all this beautiful shoes that I was not able to get when I was pregnant....

Leevan's Fullmoon

We have not celebrate Leevan'e fullmoon yet. We are waiting for the daddy to come home and celebrate it. Most probably on the 11th May. That time Leevan will be almost 2 months but its okay as long the whole family are together....

I can imagine the panggang babi we will be having...yum yum. I'm thinking of satay but I don't know where to find..I want yang can come to the house and panggang the satay. any idea or anyone to recommend?

I will be ordering 4 kilo chocolate moist cake. Its really delicious and moist. You have to taste it..seriously you have. I'm thinking of some sweet desserts like pudding and smalls cakes. Siok juga planning ni tau for your baby full moon. Actually its a double celebration for Leah and Leevan...Leah punya birthday we postpone long due from March so can celebrate with the brother...buli tahan juga lama dia kan....

On that day itself, we all know it is also Mother's Day. I wonder if I get anything from Hubby....haaahaa. punya selfish...heeehe. No bah, As long hubby is with me..I'm the happiest person on earth. Having him around is an imporatnt event for me. Jarang gia I can spend time with hubby including the kids.

I really hope we can celebrate it on the 11th or maybe we need to do it earlier if the employer wants him to work soon. There is rumour he may be call for duty on the 1st week or 2nd week of May. I'm keeping my fingers...including my toes cross juga this.

need to shop soon for the kids punya party pack. I dont know whether mau ada entertainment for the kids juga. Last year we had a clown for Leah's birthday...ada juga budak scare o....or maybe my hubby sendiri do tricks for the kids entertainment as hubby have experiences in clowning dulu............................

I can wait to sit down with hubby and get the details done.

10 days from now...I'm counting

Hubby will be home soon....yahoo.......!! I really cannot wait. I miss him so much...very very much. He said he will be home maybe on the 4th or 5th May.....not sure but definitely next week...

Leah had been asking, where is daddy? When I'm on the phone, who is that? Leah will be asking...Daddy? Kesian juga my little girl...luckily our lil boy don't understand yet or I'll have 2 kids asking about the daddy......I will be the one yang sakit hati betul......what to do, sacrifice ma kan.

I'm sure the kids will understand one day...the daddy is working hard to provide to the family...sudahlah I'm not working. Sole provider gia my hubby in the family...wanna help also but don't know how.....

When can I.......?

I wish I can blog from my own laptop....for the mean time, have to use the main computer in the living room....The wireless thingy still not working and I feel so troublesome. Hubby promise to fix the wireless when he comes home and hopefully it will still work no matter cam mana juga the wheather....Tu hujan batu lah kasi rosak our connection....silaka...

Meantime, will not be able to update any family photos or anyhting in my blog....Sabar..sabar..sabar...

My laptop mau bangas already coz hardly use since the connection jadi gila...gerigitan o.....senang bah if I blog from my own laptop....got privacy....
