ZOOROPAZOO

… but I hardly accomplished all or most of them because it’s time constraining! I didn’t feel it last time but I always chasing the time now. My mom said that I start complaining even though I’m just taking care of one baby. After a whole Saturday spent at my parents’ place, she fully understand why… because XJ is too demanding or shall I say that baby today is more demanding than our time or before?…

Before I have XJ, what I enjoyed to do first in the morning during weekend is to watch Travel & Living after came back from jogging. I didn’t watch Globe Trekker for so long! And for those who know me, I’m a hardcore tennis (Rafa)’s fan but I missed plenty of the matches. All I know is that Rafa is doing quite badly throughout 2009. And quite a number of books still packed nicely in the original form when bought it from various bookstores. I can’t read a book with a cuppa now already… And there’re really a lot of pix I need to sort it out, my hubby snapped & recorded many of XJ funny gestures but never seem to settle it accordingly yet he said keep all those in the digicam ‘coz there’re too cute!

Imagine how to fit-in all these in the weekend minus 80% of time spent on XJ, minus laundry & other chores & minus shopping. With the 20% of limited time, I have difficulty in choosing what to do, blogging? reading? watching fav programmes? catch-up with some sleeps? And I have to quit jogging in the morning recently ‘coz XJ wakes up & cries for milk about the same time when I want to go out… So I guess it’s 90% contributed to XJ Dear hubby, can I get diamonds as a reward for doing all these? hehehe…

What I really want to do now is to finish a few chapters of Jeffery Deaver’s (JD) The Broken Window. Actually I bought JD’s books during my 3rd trimester of pregnant because I spent more time at home and I guess reading has more bonding with baby in womb. And very interesting that I specially love “investigation, thriller & mysteries”-based stories that time although I still love it now… I read until a few days before I delivered XJ so there’re about 100pgs only to finish this book. I don’t know when I can start other books or should I buy new books when shopping?… OK, sorry I have to go & I apologize if I do not hop to your blog recently. Happy Sunday

… and the mommies to-be shall read it too… (anyway, I talk from my personal experience which u guys not necessarily going through the same) I choose not to keep it in my heart although it’s not something very serious

Hubby & I get along like the best pals/soul mates instead of the typical loving husband & wife (of course we love each other undoubtedly, hope it’s not too complicated). No matter how loving a couple, some quarrels are unavoidable & that’s very common. It’s kind of tested on tolerance on both parties. In any normal situation, I’ll take a deep breath & start afresh a new day but I’m very serious when it comes to below situation ~

My advice to the daddies to-be, please hold your anger and don’t quarrel to your pregnant spouse! You know hormone changed may turn a woman to be very “fragile” or emotional. Some daddy to-be may not understand or unaware of this including my hubby. We didn’t start quarrel but he did show his sour face to me & when he kept quiet the whole day I knew he was angry. You know what I did? I wrote to him in a note about the truth behind it & asked him to read the article on the changes on a pregnant woman. I’m glad he did what I told him & he apologized to me If a pregnant woman gets herself in depression, it may not good to the baby too & it’s difficult to go through the 9 months journey.

Ok when baby is here, please don’t quarrel to your wife due to conflict of opinion on some stuffs like whether or not to let baby drinks plain water… Hubby said that I always insisted on my decision & never accept what he said…In this kind of situation, please hold your anger too & think about how much pain your wife suffered in the contraction before delivering a baby… all mommies give the best to their babies ok & isn’t that hard to sit down, relax & discuss what is the best way for baby… again I’m glad that he accepted what I said, I mean we should discuss when we have different views. That’s work! Ok that’s it.

Yesterday night, we both went out to a nearby shops to buy High5 bread and some snacks. There’s a store beside the swimming pool in our condo but we prefer to buy it outside unless we are lazy to go out. So we waited for the lift to go down to the parking to take hubby’s car. One of the lifts was not working so we have been waiting for quite some time. When the lift reached, There was a guy we never met before (of the race who usually commit crime as reported in the newspaper) standing inside staring at us. The no. of residents here are not many ‘coz there are just two blocks. That’s the main reason I love staying here, not crowded like many other condos. So we usually see those familiar faces using the lifts at our block.

We both were staring at him too and I knew what was in hubby’s mind would be exactly the same as what I was thinking. “Is this a bad guy?…Do we want to go in?…” Yeah we saw him wearing the uniform of the lift maintenance company but we were still not keen on that. It took about a few seconds, the guy finally said that “don’t worry, I’m here to fix the lift, no harm…” Since he is skinny and just him alone, we guessed he couldn’t do much if he is bad guy…then we went in and stopped at different floor to check out mail box first instead of taking our car for safety purpose. He didn’t follow as he went to a lower floor.

I don’t think we were over-reacted since there were too many criminal cases read in the newspaper everyday. Sure I won’t go in the lift if I’m alone taking the car.Don’t blame me for the suspicious look on you, blame your race who have been committing so much of criminals violently. We are just the normal citizen doing any possible thing to protect ourselves as we don’t have confidence to the security force. (security guard in condo & police)

What were you guys doing last weekend? It was quite messy because there was downpour for both Saturday and Sunday. Hardly saw any sun shine or rather none at all. Oh, why messy right?…You can see those clothes hanging at the balcony couldn’t dry on time but luckily Top detergent proved that no nasty smell leave on the clothes even if it dry days later. (I do not get any commercial fees for writing this ok, hehehe…)

The thunderstorm was great and we didn’t go out for shopping. At first my hubby was watching movie while I was blogging but we switched it off and unplugged it because the lightning was too strong and frequent. We are staying at 12th floor so there’s the feel of very near to it, you know. Quite scary one sometimes! We both did nothing but sitting on the sofa with a cup of hot green tea and chatting to each other. So there’s the weird weather in Malaysia, there can be a bright sunny day in the morning but raining non-stop in the evening!

You see there’s a small pond there and fishes too…this is not in the park but the leisure area at my big bro’s condo. We were under the same developer but our condo there don’t have such nature-oriented facility. What we have here are the basic facilities like tennis court, swimming pool and gym room. But I understand the fact that if you stay at a more luxury condo, you’ll enjoy more facilities and the environment plus residents are much better! So the morale is to EARN MORE!

We are doing our own things without disturbing each other these few days,…and quite serious. Oh no no no, we are not quarreling. The truth is that my hubby a.k.a the big boy bought himself a metal toy on Monday. So, he is spending more time with his precious now than me You know what he bought?

It’s a Denon 1907 Amplifier so there goes the addition to his audio system. He loves it so much and a bit crazy over it too! This one costs RM2,xxx.00 but since he has “good relationship” with the boss of the audio shop then he was offered to the dealer price of RM1,xxx.00 ( I purposely put xxx ‘coz the prising in audio biz is very competitive) He has spent much on the system (it includes the speaker system and all the quality cables) and honestly I don’t really “appreciate” that. You know why? Those sudden bang/loud sound always frighten me when he testing the system. I always tell him that I’ll enjoy more on a good movie/music. The sound effect is not that important. Nonetheless, I’ll respect his preference and some more he is spending his own money. So, I didn’t say much about it. For your information, those who are really crazy can spent it equivalently (the value) to buy a Semi-D! I’ll punch him if he is such CRAZY!!!

Oh yes, any good movies? I may want to buy some DVDs then we can watch it with the audio system on this weekend. Any suggestion anyone? (We love action movies)

Yeah it’s First Day of 2008! Hope it’s a great year and many wonderful moments to come!

I supposed I’ll busy in about hours time and will be rush tomorrow after work ‘coz I’m going out with hubby to hang out for the Countdown of New Year. So I’ll post now. I hope it’s a good & fruitful year in 2008 for my family, my hubby & myself. Yeah, as simple as that.

“Wishing All My Fellow Buddies Happy New Year 2008!”

Yippee…I’m happy over this whole week because as follows:-)

1) I’m successfully made it in my career move. This is such a lovely job I’m looking for. Having gone through 1st & 2nd Interview, saving the waiting process keep my heartbeat bumping faster than normal and finally everything is just landed by my side yesterday. Hoorayyyyyy…! (For those who are curious, I’m actually started discuss about it in Career Move 1.0 & Career Move 1.1)

2) I got most, infact all my paid posts approved. So, I’m USD$XX.XX RICHER as of today! I’ll continue to write more. For the newbies who just started writing paid post & face with problems here & there, don’t give up. Once u get it, it’s just pretty easy for you! (haha…talking like very pro blogger. I’m just sharing my personal experience, hope u appreciate)

3) This is even more exciting in terms of blogging. I have many good & nice buddies. We read each other posts and exchange comments. The awards honoured made me PROUD! I hope the list of awards@my side-bar will just add-on. Thanks and you are such a bunch of wonderful buddies!

Having read the news where a Standard 6 girl hanged herself after getting a result which is not met with what is expected in UPSR, I felt the girl really wasted her life over such a trivial matter.

Well,…I’m not a straight-A students in my entire academic life. The most I’m in the “above average” category. Last time I was always not happy with myself & thinking why I’m not as good as this & that particular frens? And I want to beat him/her (result) for next semester…Sometimes I managed to but sometimes I failed but I’m happy in the process in competing as I learnt where is my weakness & what is my strength.

When grown up, of course there even more challenges and I found I’m terribly down at one point. I always talk to myself: ok, this is exciting! All I want to do is to conquer you Evil! I’ll find a way…I expect more to come instead. Amazingly, you will find you can actually achieve something if u really try that out. Yeah I enjoy this. This is how I appreciate life and that’s why I call it Life Is Mysterious yet it’s Beautiful!

*HOPE EVERYONE APPRECIATE & ENJOY LIFE AS I DO*
