carrot head

Ekiel cried in school yesterday and today.
Last year it took Ekiel 2 days to not cry while in school but my mom said, it took my youngest brother one week! *freaks out* Let’s hope there’s no more drama tomorrow.

I am so restless. I have been having weird dreams night after night and that pretty much screw up my sleep. Someone asked me what’s with the sleeping problem. If I knew, don’t you think I would fix it? Seriously. *rolls eyes*

Boys Over Flowers on 8TV, Monday to Friday at 8.30pm.
I am addicted and love/hate that show. I have always tried to avoid dramas such as these because my need to know how the story ends will haunt me. Never did I imagine [the guy whom my sisters refer to as] the carrot head would rock my world and made me to watch the entire series in youtube. *tsk tsk tsk* Shame on him.

Let’s not talk about the orangey hair, the super pale complexion, the horrific getup, the pretty face and the “I am a musician therefore I am living in my own world” persona. It is not a good thing because standing next to him will definitely make me look like his nanny, or something else

BUT the fact that he, could read the “between the lines”, does the unpredictable “little [sweet] things” and always is the knight in shining armor, makes him [almost] perfect.

Batu pun boleh cair.

However, we all know men like this are rare if not extinct. *sighs*

Though his love was unrequited, because in my opinion the writer is sick in the head, he is forever there for the girl through the good and bad, as a friend, knowing he will never have her. I could not think of a man, a sane man, who would do just that. Can you?

I think the writer is insane because the storyline is so twisted there are times when I thought I’ll get a heart attack.

However, while watching the movie, all I could think of was, “OMG, all he does all day is to please the girl. Doesn’t he have other things to do?” I mean, some people have to go and save the world and they would never have the time to appear every time I am feeling down. Kan? *

Dramas like these should come with a warning for it is not good for the [weak] heart. *cough cough*

2nd week of school

Like last year, Ekiel made a scene on the first day of his second week in school. He was very calm when I walked him to his class. When I wanted to kiss him goodbye, I saw the shaky lips and the glistening eyes, I knew there’ll be trouble. Before I could think of a plan, he was clinging on my neck and did not want to let go.

It wasn’t a pretty sight so I sat at the tiny bench outside his class. Some of Ekiel’s classmates came and asked me why Ekiel did not want to come in to class, so very the kepoh like that. *LOL* I did not want to embarrass, see I am such a cool mommy, told them Ekiel was just a little shy.

Ekiel’s cute teacher was in a meeting, so no one came to helped us. When she finally came, Ekiel started crying. Well, hysterical is more like it. It took two teachers to grab Ekiel while he was screaming, “I WANT MY MOMMY!!!!”

So kesian but he needs to go to school kan?

For a boy his size, he is damn strong.

Parents smiled at me, and I smiled back apologetically. It was not until I was in the car when I realised my buttons were undone and I flashed the whole kindergarten. Nasib baik saya pakai bra cantik hari ni. *whistles* I hope no kids, or parents were traumatized by that incident. *chuckles*

crying monkey

If your mom called you in the morning screaming, “Kau tau apa anak kau buat?” it is not a good thing.

My son was more excited about his new school stuffs than going back to school. The morning of his first day, I had little trouble waking him up. He was calm when he arrived in his classroom and went straight to play the toys on the floor.

Knowing he’s okay, I called out to him to let him know that I am going to work. He nodded. So I asked for a goodbye kiss and he only gave me a raised eyebrow. *raises eyebrow*

This morning, I spent 30 minutes persuading, negotiating and threatening and another 10 minutes to look for his school bag. When he left with my parents, I thought he would be okay like the day before.

Not long after, I got that call from my mom.

According to my mom, he was fine when she left him in class. As she walked out from the school compound back to the car, she heard and wondered which monkey was screaming and crying like a mad boy when she heard, “MaaaaaaaaMaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa”.

Yes people, it was my monkey, Ekiel.

Apparently, Ekiel managed to sneak out from the classroom and ran for my mom. Luckily a teacher saw him and managed to catch up. The three of them went back to Ekiel’s class and Ekiel did not want to let my mom go. Finally the teacher pulled him away, hold him tight and lock the classroom door.

*chuckles*

The funniest thing was, no one in the whole school, including the play group kids, cried. Not even on the first day yesterday or today for that matter. Dia jugalah superstar ni hari.

Dear Ekiel,
“Habis larr kau”. This day would be remembered and talked about for many many many years to come.

XOXO,
Mommy

The final entry for 2009

Seven more hours before the year ends. The whole house is busy cooking and what not, while I sit in front of the computer wishing everyone a good year ahead, blah blah blah. Besides, from my years of experience, it is wise to stay away from all the commotion. I’ll stick to scrubbing pots and pans anytime.

Christmas was very good. It could be better, I know it could but I was just too exhausted to play the bubbly hostess.

“There’s no game this year, blah blah blah”. *sighs*
Oh well. We can’t make everyone happy can we?

2009 was a great year despite the whining. I am grateful for everything that had happened this year.

• Executive Diploma in Hospitality and Tourism Management from UTMSpace
• Best student award for the Executive Diploma in Hospitality and Tourism Management
• Went to Bali (My first overseas trip!)
• Finally went to the Rainforest World Music Festival in Sarawak
• Also finally went to Labuan
• Achiever of the Month for May 2009
• Had my first getaway with Ekiel to Pulau Manukan

The list goes on but this is all I can think of at the moment. Will update later.

For next year, I wish the year would still be kind to me. I have so many things to look forward to and among them are my Manila and Ho Chi Minh trip. *woohoo* Hopefully work will be better and there’s positive progress in other areas of my life. *winks*

2009 was great but 2010 will be better. I just know it will.
Happy new year people.

the day before Christmas

The past two mornings were eventful.

On Wednesday, I was about to put on my shoes in the car when I saw something hanging at the bottom of my pants. I was about to flick it away when I realised it was moving. It was a huge but confused caterpillar. It must have mistaken my brown pants as a tree. *LOL* No idea how it got there.

Though I think it was cute, I flinched every time it moved.

My brother took a tissue and tried to remove it but that thing was stubborn. He had to squeeze it and it bled a little. Yes, it bled. There was a spot of blood but I wasn’t bitten.

The caterpillar

Then this morning, at the traffic light near the hospital, the car was making this weird sound. My sister thought the tyre burst but I saw her hitting something on the road. We had to stop at the bus stop and my sister went to check what happened.

She said nothing is wrong until she bent down to see under the car. My sister drove over a box and it got stuck. My sister was wearing a skirt so I had to bend down to pull the box away. I wasn’t strong enough to pull it and my sister found a stick and started poking. We finally got the box off.

Whoever owns the box, *sticks tongue out*.

Christmas is finally here. *woohoo*

Santa doughnut. It looks better than it taste.

Happy Christmas people.
Be good. Be safe.
Hugs & Kisses.

Cheap labour but he takes forever to ground the nut [for Kuih Makmur]. Plus he sweats too much. *LOL*

a quick quickie

I cannot wait for the post Christmas/pre New Year holidays!!!

I have used up all my energy and patience dragging myself around the past couple of weeks. The last three days of break wasn’t enough, especially with the subtle but nevertheless annoying migraine I’ve been getting lately.

Which explain the mood swings.

Unfortunately, I am not the only Christmas grouch around. People are grumpier and more agitated this year and I could give you a long list of reasons for this un-Christmas-sy behaviour.

They say, “This is the season to be jolly”, but it’s easier said than done.

A friend was scheduled to go home this Wednesday to celebrate Christmas with her family but unfortunately, her dad passed away this morning. We didn’t know how to console her when she asked “Why didn’t he wait for me?”

It was heartbreaking.

I know it won’t be easy but let’s make the best out of whatever circumstances we are in.

I am now more determined to make it one memorable Christmas even if this means I have to drag myself around until Christmas.
