can you believe it that 2009 is coming after midnight tonight? and 2008 will be another yesteryear?

as i'll be busy trying to rush my calendar, i will not be blogging for a while. so, wishing everyone a wonderful 2009!!! may all your dreams come true.

and to all the students...study hard!!!

when i was alerted by a comment left on my entry ah hock kaya roti, about their change of address, i got all excited and broke the news to my hub. and as soon he suggested to take the kids there this morning, i quickly put my camera in my handbag to take some breakfast pix.

it's now located in clementi central near mcdonald's.

all sets come with warm toast, hot cup of coffee/tea and two half-boiled eggs

my kids had ice milo

top: fatin's french toast set. my hub had to help fatin cut her toast into finger size.

top: faiz's cheese toast set


while efi had her traditional toast set, i enjoyed my italian toast. its crust is very crispy just the way i like it.

a brief discussion how to kill time before collecting fatin's school books from popular

indulging in scrapbook items at daiso

saw santa's reindeers

went flirting with a handsome stranger

makan

closed the day with handphone-hunting for faiz

found fatin's old dress that she used to wear when she was four. didn't realize she's grown that much.

yakuza moon - a must read

i've been coughing for a month now and faiz has his for three days today. my two visits to the doctors didn't help much despite finishing all my cough syrups. i hate the waiting-time during each visit, and i decided no more doctor for me.

the worse thing about these stupid coughs, they choose our bedtime to annoy us.

everyone has recommended that we generously apply vicks vaporub on our soles before bedtime and cover our feet with socks. it was supposedly help us have a good night sleep cough free.

and so, we tried. unfortunately, it didn't work for both of us. faiz's heavy deep cough was very persistent and he had vomitted more than once last night. so, should we give it another try tonight?

faiz's killer-look

a picture of my kids taken on 7 dec 2008. it looks old, doesn't it?

and decided to give it a try. i lurv the edited photo here. i shall use this editing tool for my fam calendar project.

initially we wanted to relax at east coast beach today, but we had to detour when we found the whole stretch of east coast was close for a running event. thus, we ended up at changi beach instead. but no complain coz we still had fun. the gathering was decided as we need to pass birthday presents to the december babies.

my sis, ruzi - 3 dec
my dad - 13 dec

we got a waist pouch for my dad's 69th birthday


my sis luvs her new organizer

**more pictures here**

i have just completed my junk binder organizer.
just look at the mess i need to clear before morning comes. my hub will not stop nagging for at least 45mins if he sees what his wife left behind.

and after clearing the table, i quickly snapped some pictures of my pride.

i shall update my bloghead
with the complete pictures when i have more time.

school holiday has helped everyone (including the family cat) to adopt a new hobby...sleeeeep

it's either i need a new keyboard, or i have some cleaning to do.

naah...i prefer a new keyboard

danu passed away this morning. i lurv him so much and i feel that i have not done enough. his last days had been painful to witness. he had been suffering quite bad after his visit to the vet. somehow his condition became worse after the jab the vet gave him. two days after his visit, his two front legs seemed to go numb and he couldn't stand right. his whole body became weak few days after he lost control of his hind legs. i can still remember when i was cleaning him two days ago. he used all his strength to stretch out his neck, and looking at me with his wet eyes. i felt that he was trying to tell me something. and yesterday, while
feeding him, i told him softly that it would be alright for him to go so that he won't have to suffer any longer. he was 8.

danu's story began "HERE" and pictures of my petz "HERE".

fatin came to us in 1998. i don't think i can ever forget that painful labour. she refused to meet us, and remained snuggling in her comfort zone. after a long ordeal trying to push her out, we had no choice but opted for vacuum extraction.

my baby is 10 today

happy birthday fatin!!!

can't believe that fatin is 10 today (29 Nov 2008). and come january 2009, she'll be sitting in her new classroom of primary 5. still, she is our little girl...our baby.

she wanted a walkman phone and told us the model of her preference. but we have a budget, thus we settled with w200i. it has a simple camera function for her to practise snapping and be my successor. my hub got a ONE gb memory card for her. she doesn't know yet about the not-the-phone-she-wanted. we hope she won't be too disappointed.

she and faiz are spending one week with my parents and they are coming home tomorrow to celebrate her birthday with us. it will be a simple family affair...

this is how my children eat their bread

when i received an email asking for flyers and my hub's name cards pertaining to his transport service, i got all excited. i spent slightly more than 2 hours last night working on the flyer, and i got this done by 11pm. looking at the end result, i'm so happy with myself. the two long hours were well spent :p

took the kids out last saturday and watched madagascar: escape to africa. if you asked me to rate the movie...i'll give it 7/10. it's all thanks to the penguins that i could actually give a rating. i don't know how the movie would fair without skipper and his gang. i prefer the madagascar first movie.

the whole troop down with fever

i'm making a personalized organizer for my sis, ruzi, as her birthday gift. i want it to tell her story. here are some pictures that i'm using ...
