Fourteen Already?

Fourteen already. Today is the 14th day into 2010 and i am still struggling to get into pace *LOL*

I celebrated the New Year and welcome it with a whole lot of fireworks with my family at Parkcity as it was the nearest to where we stayed. It was quite fun with the kids screaming at the top of their lungs because they could. Any reason to scream out loud and releasing it all is good.. hehehehhehee

It was full moon.. and i was too lazy to bring my camera. I only had my mobile with me and that's one of the reasons for crummy pictures of late. Crummy low-resolution pictures. *LOL*

Both are my sister's kids. We got them lights to wear on their heads. Both boys were quite happy to be wearing them. Rachel was urmm.. ashamed to wear them (i don't know why). She's the youngest but she says she's not a kid anymore and refused to wear them lights. But she did wear them in the end when it was almost time to go home *LOL*

One decent picture of the fireworks with my mobile. *LOL* I am such a bum. People were bringing big cameras and tripods and mipods and propods.. urmm.. ipods too. But i was clicking away with my mobile.

Glitter at the end of the party. These were done by us.. the debris on the ground :)

The huge jam on the way home. Thank god i was not driving... hehehehhehee.. i was just too happy snapping away with my mobile.

My dear Bom waiting for us at home. He was not too happy that he was not invited to the park with us. But i sure don't want him to be around when there's fireworks and lot of screaming people around. That would probably shock him and send him into a frenzy. He stayed home with Piper. Piper was just too glad to be home. He hates fireworks and thunder.

New Year's dinner :) Something quite light.. but still took us a while to prepare.. *LOL*

What i need for the New Year... my resolutions are not many or any yet (and we are already halfway into the 1st month already)

What I need...

• New music.
• More time for dad.
• More walks with Dom.
  
• Time for photography.
• Time for friends.
• Sleep.
  

What i don't need...

• TV.. hhahahahahhaa
  

And now its time to sleep. Tomorrow.. i mean today is gonna be a looooooooooooooonnng day. Maybe Thursday will be kind to me :) Goodnite folks.

You Know Me

You Know Me ~ Robbie Williams

Me and my bad boy Robbie. I just love him. Either you love him too much or you just can't stand him (usually its the extremes of both side)

Its been a while since he came out with an album. This is from his Reality Killed The Video Star album.Great album i must say so myself.

When talent comes with passion.. this is it.

When i was in college cow years ago, there was this guy who comes to lessons on his dirt bike. Its almost similar to Robbie's bike here in the video. Every morning, i will wait for him downstairs just to see him roll in on his bike. Kind of admiring from afar.

I think i was more interested in the bike than the person *LOL* But he's not too bad looking too. He always looks so cool when he arrives. My knees also turn jello when i see guys in dirt bikes. I also go weak-knee when i hear a guy play the guitar and sing. This fella happens to draw quite well. He's a great illustrator. His drawings of people were so lifelike. I remember he was extremely good with the air-brush.

But it was the bike that drew me to this character... hehhehehehee There were some days he comes for lessons.. still on the dirt bike but with bandages here and there. Guess he must have had a fall while racing on the dirt bike.

I don't know where he is now. Most probably old, bald and grumpy. *LOL*

A Series of Thoughts

Scenario 1

You love chocolate. You love chocolate so much that you bought yourself a big chocolate cake. A bigggggg chocolate cake it is. You cut a piece and indulge.

*ting tong* (the door bell rings)

You have chocolate all on your lips and in your mouth. You hate the break in momentum when you are indulging in your feast. You peek at the peephole. Shoot! Its the nosy neighbours next door.

You hide your cake quickly. This is my cake. I am not going to share it with some nosy neighbours.

You wipe your mouth quickly and erase any evidence of the chocolate. You open the door and awoo awoo and an exchange of pleasantries. Awooo awoooo... and a whole of lot of chatting. Finally, the neighbour left.

You went to back to your "hidden feast". When you are about to take another bite...

*ting tong* (the door bell rings again)

You curse under your breath and put the cake away... again. You peep again at the peep hole and this time you see the grinning face of your brother.

Dang! He loves chocolate cake. He can finish a whole cake in 10 mins. You decided to hide the cake in your room.

Brother comes in and awooooo awoooo... he tells you about his misery. Awooooo Awoooo... he tells you about the lady driver that was driving so slow in front of him on his way here. Women drivers. Bah! He says. (all the more not to share the chocolate cake with him)

He went awoooo awoooo.. and went on and on about this and that. You wonder when he's gonna stop and go home. Awoooo awooo.. and he tells you he's hungry. Awoooo awoooooo.. then he left.

You closed the door and was about to walk to your room when..

*ting tonggggggggg* (the door bell rings yet again)

*%^&&**@$^^#^#**@@%^&*$*@$%^ You cursed away. Who can it be now. You yanked the door open and there stood the love of your life. You know he loves chocolate cake too. You know he can finish the cake just as fast as your brother.

You asked if he would like to go out to eat. You took your purse quickly and went out with him. You went dining and dancing the night away. You came home late and flop onto your bed and slept away.

When you finally awake, you remembered your chocolate cake. You went over to where you left it and...

bummer... a whole battalion of ants are on it. *LOL* There goes your chocolate cake.

Selfish little idiot. Why didn't you share in the first place. Why can't you ask your neighbour in and have some tea and cake. Why can't you cut a big piece for your brother when he came by. Why can't you enjoy the cake with the love of your life.

Lesson 1 : Sharing is Caring. Selfishness will get you very happy chocolate covered ants with big smiles.

NaBloPoMo

A small challenge to get myself moving :) Today we decided to NaBloPoMo.

That is to post everyday for a month. Weekends too. Good luck to Dommy. Because he'll be doing most of them posts. *LOL* He gotta get his butt moving too. He's a wee bit too much on the heavy side.

When Jai comes home next month, i think i'll probably be missing from the blogging world for a while. So... a post everyday for this month would be good thing. Or so i thought ^.^"

Anyone wanna join me on this?

I Am A Bum

Complacency is not an attractive trait to possess. Its not all bad. But when a person gets too complacent, they become stagnant.

Here i was happily bumming around while watching a wee bit too much tv. I've been putting off blogging as it seems apt that i needed to find some balance with my internet time (probably a lame excuse). And spend more time with people and dog x 2 (Piper's here with me).

My last holidays were T I R I N G. *lol*

I came home quite tired and blurr in the head. Kinda like some big ole south winter wind hit my silly head. I couldn't function as per normal. *LOL* And just whooooooozed the whole week away. Cooking for my family took a backseat (yes.. i was lazy in that department too). Our kitchen was not open last week.

Dad and Boy went off to Kuala Lumpur again yesterday. There were some education fair going on in KLCC and its important that Boy goes and weight out his options. I send them off by train yesterday morning with dad yelling real early in the morning to wake us all up. *LOL* Even Dom and Piper could barely crawl out of bed.

I hardly have a peaceful sleep here in the mornings cos my dad likes to create lotta sounds to wake us up. When i was in my sister's house last week, one morning, i heard the doorbell. And there was dad ringing the doorbell. He had the key in his hands. The doorbell send off a chain of reactions with Piper & Dom barking away. They both sleep with me in the room. Can you imagine how high i jumped up? *LOL*

Not a day goes by without some action around here.. hahahhahahaa There was one morning when he found a rat in the house. Here he was chasing the rat and he had Dom with him blocking the rat's path. And quite a racket that was.

I am never a morning person. I don't quite like to wake up real early to eat breakfast especially noodles. Piper is a morning person/dog. Usually when i don't get up by a certain time, he'll bark the house down to wake you up *LOL* Dom? Dom is like me. He wakes up when i wake up. With a smile, he'll greet me and we'll both go out to let him have his leak. He's very considerate for a dog.

Today i had my peaceful day. Just bumming around with both doggies. Watch a whole lot of tv till i became numb. Too much tv really does numb the brain. *LOL* That reminds me... i have to wean off the tv too.

I went off to buy some treats for Dom and Piper. Stopped by the market to get some flowers for mom. When i went to see mum.. it drizzled. Mom send me something i love on my way home.

a mighty big bright rainbow :)

I miss mom. And all that she is. Not a day goes by when she's not in my thoughts. I guess dad misses her more. She was her partner in everything. He goes everywhere with her. He takes her everywhere... even to pump petrol. They are really like siamese twins.

He still goes to talk to her everyday at the church. When no one listens to him, he knows she will. My dad is getting old. He has many quirks like any other person. He's happiest when he's home. Sometimes i am not entirely patient with him. Sometimes i leave him alone to do my things. Sometimes it gets lonely for old folks.

I am trying to do the best that i know how. Even though i know that i can do better :) He always reminds me that his time on earth is on grace.

Well... he has a lot of travelling to do this year. And he is most happy too when he gets to go on holidays. Dad and Boy coming back tomorrow. Boy is also starting work tomorrow. He's awfully happy that he finally found a job. Gotta nap now.

There's a mountain of clothes that are not folded yet... a shelf which is not fixed.. and tons of things to do. And tomorrow is Monday. Oh bummer. Where did the weekends goooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooOOOOOO... (too much tv sure did screw up my life... hahhahahahaha)

pp is home :)

This Bird Has Flown

Happy New Year everyone :) Hope 2010's been good to you all so far. Here's me wishing all of you a wonderful and bountiful year ahead.



Norwegian Wood ~ The Beatles

Why this song to kickstart the year? I got my head burrowed in a few books at a time these few days.. *LOL* and this was one of it.

Norwegian Wood by Haruki Murakami.

I kinda seek my moments at Borders for 2 whole days... *LOL* I love Borders.. especially the one at Curve. Most of the time, i am actually at the children's section. They have more colourful books and with lotta glitter and better pictures.

A lot kinda happened in the past 2 weeks or more while we were away. Some losses some gains.. some happy moments.. some tense.. mostly quite a tiring one. I came home more broken that ever. My head kinda feel detached from my body. Tired as a log but... i'm all slept out now :)

We should all just understand that we are all unique. Different. If everyone could understand that, it wouldn't be a tense holiday at some point. But.. with all the tense moments, we did have some happy ones too. Well.. holiday's all gone. Back to the daily grind.

Before i scoot off again, i would like to thank Nessa, Emila and Yoon See for their beautiful greeting cards :) Thanks again for the very cute stuffs! I will treasure them.

I'll continue with a long windy post tomorrow... mebbe.

On The Road

We are finally going on the road today :) Hopefully great weather and smooth ride to take us safely to our destination. We wish everyone and all our friends here a Merry Berry Berry Christmas and A Wooonderful Woofy New Year!

Our apologies to our EC droppers. We won't be dropping any cards till next year.

Stay safe.. have fun.. don't drink and drive. If you are drinking coffee or milo.. you can of course drive ^.^"

Since we cannot completely wean ourselves off the internet... we would be testing mobile blogging while we are away. Hopefully we will be posting some decent pictures with our crummy mobile phone.

We'll be mo-blogging from http://www.mo-boomoohoo.blogspot.com/

Gotta go now. We need to catch some shuteye to wake up bright and early tomorrow.

Cya next year! Bye byeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

Christmas 2009 @ Home

As we promised... we made our old man a wee bit happier today. We finally put up the christmas tree :) Shame on us for making our papa wait so long for the tree to be up.

He grinned. We shifted some furniture around the hall to fit in the tree :) The three of us scooted around here and there trying to look busy while cleaning up the mess. It has been raining the whole morning and almost whole afternoon too. None of our laundry got dried.

Dommy.. urmm.. Dommy did try to help. But his main job was to be the protector of our christmas tree. He got the best seat in the house now. He's awfully proud of that.

We are clearing up here.. and going on the road by Sunday. Hopefully i can wean off some internet time and snooze. I'm still expected in the office next week.

Our tree is just 5 feet (shorty) but its a "green tree" and it is recycled every single year. We are doing our bit for the environment :) Sustainable living. For every tree you chop off, plant a tree or two back.

Here are some shots. My hands are a bit shaky lately... urmm.. it has been shaky all this time i think.. hahahahhahaa.. plus i am always too lazy for tripods and flash.

The great protector of the tree snoozing on his job!
