Love it!

I’m so glad the forum I’ve setup for my friends over in the pacific ocean is finally up and running! My they are really fun! They’re already so active!!! They have finally helped to transfer over the important posts from the soon-to-close forum. I didn’t have to ask for help - they just do it on their own! I really appreciate them for doing that. Oh yeah, I love using that forum format too! It’s so nice cuz I can create my own theme with it! I still have some stuff to work on before I can say it’s ready!
Anyway, will be spending the day raking tomorrow. The darn wind brought down all the leaves finally! My boy asked “Mama where are the trees???” Cute boy!
I called home today and my bro told me that my bank has sent me a platinum visa card. wtf.
I didn’t even apply. They just auto sent it to me. And the bank is an international bank. Are they so desperate for people to spend money, huh?
Weird.
Today was our housing community day - cleaning up the community yard and own yard. It was drizzling non-stop until evening. But the weather was warm and nice. Hubby had a beer and some sausages. I had some juice and two sausages. My boy had a sausage and a juice. Our baby was sleeping nicely inside the house for four hours. That was truly a blessing for us 
I don’t really dig this kinda community day because I don’t think they care too much about talking to me *haha* Some totally ignored me - like my next door biatch and bastard - oh in fact, they ignored US … which I really don’t understand wtf is wrong with them. We haven’t done anything to offend them - unless they consider us scolding their guests for trespassing our yard with their dogs and parking their cars that block the way to our house as offensive, GOD BLESS them. Like my friends - the chamorros - would say - AI ADAI! Screw them … yeah, I like that better - screw them!
Anyway, we can only talk to four families out of the eighteen families. Pathetic! My hubby couldn’t be bothered to talk to any of them because they are just not his type - too young! Most of them are between late twenties and early thirties and hubby is middle age *lmao* Well, actually he tried but none seems to care - so he just couldn’t be bothered. It feels sad why we have to live in this kinda environment. I miss my previous community loads. It was small and we all talk to each other! AWESOME!
I can’t wait to move to our own house next year! Omakotitalo - yeah - a house with own land - 100% privacy!
I rather spend my day with the fish in our aquarium than to spend with some fakers.
Congo Tetra and Zebra Danio
Nowadays, going out is a dreadful process - rather STRESSFUL event. I’ve got one to carry, another who runs around like a crazy rabbit … it’s not easy really.
Was just chatting with a friend yesterday. She said I should bring my kids with me when I visit friends. So I told her, if I have the option of leaving them at home with my hubby, I would be more than glad to do so. I face them 24/7. If I can get out of my routine, to go out with the girls for a nice cosy dinner and a nice chat - I WOULD LEAVE THEM AT HOME!
Well, it did sound like she doesn’t understand the stress because she hasn’t had any. Wait till she has her own, maybe she would think like me
So, today we went footmuff shopping. Finally, got one. WITHOUT the fleece cuz hubby said it’s very very hot! Settled for the Brio haha … Brio on a Graco - sure sound weird! And yeah, together we brought along our Quinny (with the adapter for our baby’s Maxi Cosi Cabrio Fix), Maclaren for my older boy and the Graco (in case we got the footmuff we could start using). Yeah, we got the footmuff but it was kinda late and it was after all the shopping spree. So no chance. Another day 
So we had three with us.
Yay, tonight I had a short chat with hubby - about the goodness of a Nikon DSLR over Canon DSLR.
Me: Hun, I need a new DSLR for better pix taking this Christmas
Hubby: But I thought you already have a EOS?
Me: Yeah, but Nikon take better pix … better STILL pix - since I’m not on the move so much, I think Nikon does me good
Hubby: BUT WHAT ARE WE GOING TO DO WITH 2 DSLR?
Me: Well, I can give my EOS to you? *sheepish grin*
Hubby: What the heck do I need an EOS when I already have an EOS?
Me: Well, your EOS is old. OLD OLD model. My EOS is new and comes with extra lenses. Besides, I have all the necessary acessories for it. So, it’s a good offer … OR I can keep that as well.
Hubby pondered a while - thinking of what to tell me next …
Me (trying hard to push the EOS): Think! When you go for your business trips, you have a “canggih” camera to snap up all the cool places and architectures! Besides, it’s small and light. Unlike your OLD EOS! (yep … each time I spoke I had to STRESS on the word “OLD” I believe that pissed him off ) *haha*
Hubby: OK! Whatever lah (yeah he is very Malaysian - he knows very well when to use the “lah” and other very bombarstic swearing words) Go get it … but wait … I thought you said it’s a Christmas present? So why buy now?
Me: I can remove the camera and start practising now so by Christmas I can take very beautiful winter and family X’mas portraits
Hubby: It’s a Christmas present so I am ONLY going to get it during Christmas
Me: But I can always do with one now *lowered my voice* We can keep the box and wrap up the empty box or you can get me an external flash so I can put it inside the box and wrap it up - so at least on Christmas I still get a little pressie …
Hubby: OK WHATEVER … GO AND BUY!
Mission accomplished.
Spoke to my gynae yesterday. Was given 2 options for contraception. I’m not sure which is best but I guess I will try both. But one at a time. The first, I’ll try for 3 months and the other after. But if I decide to stick to the first one, I’ll forego the latter.
It’s essential to discuss with your gynae about the different contraceptive options you could take. If you do not wish to try any at all, the ONE AND ONLY option, though not yours, would be condoms. wtf. Especially for those who have had ceasarean birth, it’s really not wise to have accidental conception.
It’s just so weird that I’m feeling so comfy talking about the different opts with my gynae. I remember I wouldn’t even hint to my gynae when i had my first boy. I’m so proud of myself *haha*
Wondering when is the best time to plan for the 3rd one … *hubby biting nails*
It’s 12.05am now. Spookkkyyyyy … and it’s not even Halloween yet …
because … he will come back with the wrong things!
Yesterday, sent my hubby to the grocer and he came back with crabs and some funny beans for me!
OMG! I asked for Haricot Dragons and Crab Meat Stix … and he brought me those =S
Now I wonder what I should do with those crabs. Never handled them and I guess prolly gonna make ketchup garlic crabs - is that what you call it? BUT HOW TO MAKE THAT? Should I first boil the crabs .. hmmmm but they are DEAD. FROZEN. Will that kill the taste? Can’t be bothered with freshness anymore - it’s frozen food anyway. What more can I expect?
As for the beansssssssssssss - they look like darn PETAI? Oh GAWD! PETAI!? Aku tak makan petai lah cik! But it’s from China. Do Chinese eat petai? I thought it’s a malay delicacy rite?
Advice please!!! *pull hair*
I want a girl.
But can I guarantee my next pregnancy will be a girl? Obviously NOT! How I wish we could decide what we wish for.
O Dear Lord, please give me a girl … I promise to be good and eat lots of sweets. Buy lots of pinks and keep my hair long =)
Amen
