Happy day again

Another sunny day...hehe...and we're not going to miss this opportunity. Nope, not a chance. Definitely not after months being quarantined at home due to winter. We head to town in the morning for some shopping for...
AJ's new vests
Hubby's addidas clothes

and also hubby's jean! haha...let me show you in pictures why he finally decided to have a new jean
I tried to save the jean (look at the scar around the jean) but it can't survive from a powerful heart attack about 3 months ago...T.T
we did some surgery
whola...a new short sexy jean
The new jean he bought today is totally in different colour, dark indigo with some tone somemore. and oh oh oh, the coolest thing is the jean doesn't have a zip on it. Buttons to fasten up. I wonder how is he going to be able to un-button them when he's really in need...like it's gonna go in the next second. haha =.= Sorry no photo taken on the new jean yet because I forgot what. and it's kinda late when I'm doing this posting, so I can't be bothered to take a photo and going through the fussy procedure because I'm tired already. I want to finish this off quick so that I can off to bed soon.
A glance of me for no reason

Next, Wembury beach!
love the sea view. it's so lovely
and so as the water
AJ loves beach-ing as well


have to hug him for a proper photo =.=
a random pose from the guys. all with "seluar pendek" (shorts)
playing with the stones
Kok Fung caught a crab and wanted to show AJ but then he fell down =giving all his weight onto the crab and the shell broke. ==" Poor little crab
Then he said some prayers to the crab
I'm sorry, crab! Please forgive me. RIP!!! Don't find me tonight


got AJ a wind mill and he loves it when it's in full spin

The beach is so lovely and we didn't realised there's a lovely beach not far - just 15 minutes drive. If we knew that earlier, we would certainly go there with Alice or Gordon, Joline and Xavi.

Right, there's a video of AJ in the beach but as I said, I'm sleepy already. Will do it tomorrow if nothing comes up. Till then...



Ciao...xx

Happy day

A long weekend indeed (with my Friday off yesterday and Bank Holiday on the coming Monday, Woohooo~~~) and a sunny weekend (based on the weather forecast), can't wait! Woot~~~We don't have any plan yet to leave Plymouth town for the long weekend but we're definitely going to enjoy the weekend to the fullest! in Plymouth!

It is a very good day today indeed, so all 3 of us plus Rudolf went for driving range today. Instead of going to the China Fleet we normally go to, Rudolf brought us to another golf centre about 10 minutes drive from the city centre. The furnishings are very nicely done and the best part is it’s much cheaper! Both hubby and Rudolf enjoyed their time there while AJ walked around in the shop non-stop! I was taking care of AJ so no photos were taken at the centre.

Everyone was so hungry so we hit the town straight away to meet up with Rudolf's brothers and Kok Fung for a dinner outside. Seafood is our dinner tonight. Yum Yum....
" Tappas for two" for us two
Ritchie's food. It looks really delicious and can't wait to have it if we're going for it the next time
then a stranger stepped in for a snap. haha
Now the proper one

***
Also, I have creatively taken this photo today. The idea just came out of nowhere. Of course, this won't work with hubby's cooperation & good timing. haha...


No fix plan for tomorrow yet but we might be heading to town. Unless Rudolf / Teck Young have a better plan. Hubby wants to go for another golf session but Rudolf kinda reluctant. So, we shall see...haha...

Yes, I've made it

I have made the craziest decision ever so far. My hair is now short! It was supposed to have it cut till this weekend. But suddenly the inside me saying “Go. Just go. No second thought. You won’t regret it” when I passed by a newly open hair salon. =.= I don’t normally walked passed it, well not physically. The salon is on the same road side where my building is and I would usually crossed the road first on the first traffic light, which is just before the hair salon. Once I crossed it, then it’s opposite me. Get what I mean?

Yesterday T___T I didn’t take the first traffic light. Instead, I used the second one. T___T I initially was thinking to get a price first, no rush you see, survey for a cheap price, then if appointment needed, the receptionist said there’s a place available and I said yes. I didn’t say yes. It’s the me inside, the meeeee inside said it. ==” It’s the same thing, isn’t it? I was trying to get someone to blame.

Then this so called artist stylist came. Artist Stylist of 5 years experience. I told her what hair I would like to have. I even printed out a sample - like this

“Zip” it went. And I was shouting (inside) “shyt, it’s over.” I was trying to get it layered but she said can’t do that. It will make the hair look thinner bla bla bla...whatever...but I looked like I’m wearing a coconut hair what. I don’t care if it’s gonna make my hair look lesser but I can’t accept of having a coconut in my head until it’s long enough. It’ll be taking 2 months at least!

It’s unacceptable! Unacceptable! I’m happy with the front and side. But not at the back. Somemore, it’s costing me £20 for the service. I can’t pay £20 for a coconut head! It’s too expensive for an inedible coconut!

Obviously, I’m not satisfied with the result. I’ve called the salon and am going for another cut until it’s seen able. I can’t have a decent sleep until this coconut is gone. GONE!!!!

This is how I looked like before the cut
The outcome - The coconut hair. It's so ugly T__T
The side view
Trying to be cute while trying to settle in with the new hair
I love the front view but not at the back
Was taking a lovely pic with AJ then came a naughty one behind =.=
the newest latest photo
I have re-arranged for another hair cut else I couldn't live with the coconut hair - which makes me much more better, at the least! This time, I have requested for a layered hair behind instead of one straight vertical line.
How it looks like from the back while I tried to make AJ smile
AJ, AJ and AJ

Job done! I have to live with it from now on. With no regrets! Until they're long enough for the next hair cut.

What do you guys think? Have to be absolutely honest, k?

***
8 years ago today, Hubby and I began our relationship as a couple. No celebration on this big day unfortunately. I wasn't looking forward to it either. Doesn't mean that we didn't remember this glorious day. I know without this day (8 years ago), we won't be been through much until today and have AJ with us. But we think with credit crunch now and don't really enjoy the meals outside anymore, we had our normal dinner at home tonight. Home-cooked. ^_^ Happy 8th year anniversary, dear. Love you always till the end of my day.

Beware! Swine Influenza Pandemic

Swine flu, be it from a pig or a human, as you may or may not aware that swine flu, like many other deadly-currently-incurable diseases for example SARS or JE, is spreading faster than we thought. Gosh, I finished it in one sentence.

I’m starting to get worried indeed and am very alerted with the outbreak everyday by plugging my ear into radio at work to get myself updated all the time, paying no attention to my colleagues conversations unless they are talking directly to me and of course doing my work at the same time :P - especially on any news related to this new virus. And again, one sentence, one full stop. =.=

There are already a few infected people who have been advised to stay at home for at least week, in other words QUARANTINE. A couple have been tested positive for Swine flu in Scotland. Another 12 year old girl has been confirmed with the same illness as well. :-( My heart goes to them. This reminds me of SARS. And with the statement from the health official that 40% of Britons could be infected if this pandemic continues till winter, is showing how serious the pandemic is and is at nerve-racking state.

The authorities also stated that no jab is currently available and effectively can cure this flu-like symptom. At least 6 months researches would be needed to get a first batch done which means thousands have been infected and died waiting for the jab. Oh! How “marvellous” is that? I am not blaming anyone here and there’s absolutely no one to be held responsible but I am really hoping this pandemic will be over soon – vanished from tomorrow or from the next minute! Next second! I demand you to be gone forever! Wish I have that mighty power!

Anyway, watch out everyone, especially the young ones, as swine flu is blind and still is spreading across the globe. Even cute ma called to ask if I have any clue about this today. Try not to go out unless it’s necessary. As you don’t know who you are meeting outside inhaling all those recycled air which others have breathed before. Also, hygiene is important.

CAUTIOUS: Some useful tips to know if you got it (advice given from Health Protection Agency to NHS doctors and nurses)
A person should be tested for swine flu if they fulfil any ONE of these three conditions:

1. Have you got a fever with a temperature of over 39c (100f)?


2. Have you got a flu-like illness with two or more of the following: Cough, runny nose, limb or joint pain, headache?


3. Are there signs of another life-threatening illness suggesting of an infectious process?

AND the following condition:

4. Did the symptoms start within seven days of visiting Mexico or the U.S. states of California, Kansas, New York, Ohio or Texas?

If you do catch any of the symptoms above, what are you waiting for? Don’t hesitate! Just go! Go! Go to the hospital for a check-up straight away! You’ve got nothing to lose! Better be safe than sorry!

We are planning to go to Paris on this coming summer. Should we go with this epidemic spreading around so madly? Maybe not. But I wanna go to Paris…haih~~~~~ T___T

Take care.

My Ultimate Decision

Decided. The decision has been made. I have been thinking this for months. It’s not that I don’t want too. It’s just I love them and it would be such a waste to throw away my babies after months caring them. But I guess I have to go by nature anyway.

I am really jealous of those who took extremely good care and they look so nice~ on them. I don’t know but I bet at least 2 hours is spent to make it seen-able, envied by people (me as an example) and praised for the greatness. They are willing to spend so much time even though it’s just for a few hours outing, well unless they keep it for tomorrow or the day after. *couldn’t be bothered to go into details*

Yes, I agree that they play a part of your appearance. The people judge you by their cleanliness and neatness by just looking at it. Even from behind! Look at her! Suet Lee looks so good with that. I love Alice’s too as well. Wah…I was so jealous when I look at Joline’s. I wish I had some of hers in mine. Even guys can do it well!

Haha… I have just realised that I like to add some juicy bits intro before I actually gone into the main topic. Maybe I enjoyed to add a bit flowery with some adds-on, spooky with increasing curiosity yet fun, so that you guys will keep on guessing what I am talking about (just like my ex-classmates whom tried to figure out why I brought a big heavy dictionary to school everyday). =.= Haiyah, so that you guys won’t be feeling so bored reading my post.

Right, I got carried away again…

Have you got any clue what I’m talking about yet? Don’t tell me you’ve got it from the beginning. Aww….I’ve been spending ages thinking the best way to describe it without mentioning the word directly. It took aweful lots of time to put them down in words, you know. Well…not that aweful anyway but the brainstorming really is pulling my hair out.

Yes, I’ve just spit it out. Yes, yesh…*finally admiting it* it’s about my hair. I have decided to have my hair short. To start with, I don’t have much hair, or to be exact, my hair is tiny size type and low volume (Now I know where AJ has his hair inherited from – from me! Which I inherited from my dad! Then from my granpa?). I’m starting to worry that I may gone bold within the next few years. May need to super super curly my hair like my grandma’s *sob sob in the corner* T___T

Having it short, I believe will make my hair looks fuller. And lighter sure. Haha. Hubby has been complaining about my messy hair for a while already. Whenever he drops me off at work, he would said “remember to check yourself out in the washroom when you’ve arrived”. Not all the time, k. ==”

I didn’t really enjoy tying my hair up because if I have often find myself spending 1 HOUR at least just to tie it up nicely everytime. That was at my secondary school. Imagine that I had to wake up 5 am in the morning just to tie my hair. Though it’s just a simple bind, I couldn’t leave my hair tied up with some edges left behind. It was this phobia. Even if I tried, I would end up in class doing my hair again. Because my hair is so little, so when they’re tied up and if it’s not properly covered up, my head skin will be exposed leaving me look even more ugly.

With years of suffering, I had the last 2 years of schooling in short hair. It was not long till I have them long back because I miss them. =.= I spent most of the time leaving my hair untied. Freedom mah. I couldn’t be bothered to style it most of the time because I’m lazy what haha….

I know you guys may find it’s an excuse for a lazy person. But if you’re at my place, you won’t say that. “Yeah, yeah. They say the same thing” But I would prefer spend the extra time caring of AJ. Since I have AJ, 24 hours a day is not enough for me. AJ demands for every attention especially now that he can walk, I need to be with him every single seconds in case he bump into something. =.=

Plus, I have nothing to lose anyway. If it’s not looking good, it will grows back sooner or later…shyt…but suffering months of hating the look with the short hair is kind of depressing. Maybe hair extensions. Eeee…talking about hair extension, I was watching a CSI episode (my favourite TV series) and they’re saying there’re bugs living on the hair extensions gotten from a dead body. Yuck. Imagine you have hair extension (from a dead body) in your head and having those bugs crawling in it…so disgusting. I would rather use head scarf to cover my ugly hair (if it is) than using hair extensions.

I’m gonna miss my very own long hair. Luckily, I had my wedding done already so I don’t have to worry much of what to do with short hair. There’re so many things you can do with the long hair - especially on special occasions. Having it short might not be that bad afterall. Plus, if I need it long again (on a sudden day), I could get a fake one from the markets anyway. Not hair extension! The thought of wearing fake hair is highly unlikely anyway haha….we shall see how it goes.

Right, I am heading to saloon while Jimmy cares for AJ this weekend. Gonna ask hubby to pay for the bills (as he has said so 2 months ago). If I still have the courage to do so... woot!

I need to find out what kind of a short hair style to go for. Googling tonight. Any suggestions anyone?

Sien, I need to change my writing style.

How we spend our weekend

Right, I know it has been a while since my last post. It’s not that I didn’t want to write but I don’t have any interesting topics to “brag” about. When you read this post, this means otherwise lo..haha...

So, let’s get on, shall we?

We went to Exeter this morning. It was Rudolf’s idea, he was looking for a golf club as the JJB sports store in Exeter has a golf club testing facility. And since he was looking for someone to go with him, since hubby is also interested to get a full set of golf clubs himself, since we don’t have any interesting plan to do other than stuck at home goyang kaki (doing nothing).

JJB wasn’t open when we reach there, so we went to the store next to it – TKMaxx. And I saw this lovely blue and white beautiful evening dress (£49.99). The moment, I laid my eye on it, I was saying to myself “Wah...this is definitely a dress I would go for for my wedding” haha...I didn’t mean for a second wedding. Certainly not. I did bought a dress at the same price so I’m satisfied. I’m just trying to point out that I would definitely buy this dress as my second wedding dress. Haha...

Anyway...JJB next...While the guys are window shopping, I then...hehehe \grin
hmm...which one should I go for?

let me down...I wanna choosing my golf club
haha...I love this pic. he's so cute
While Rudy's busy choosing his driver
AJ and daddy are choosing the right junior golf club
Testing testing...
put some power in, then swing....
not to forget...a picture ...nice~~~
We didn't buy any in the end. The boys said it would be more cheaper to buy online. So, we went back to Plymouth afterwards. It was just a 3 hours trip and was around lunch time when we reach Plymouth, we went to Kaoshi - a new Japanese restaurant in the city.
==" can't believe it when the drinks arrived. small but £££ T_T
Rudy's chicken ramen soup
My special ramen soup - very fresh prawn
the rest of the gang had bento
and Kok Fung - apologies for the quality

The food were nice but the price are quite dear. Definitely a no no next time. I don't really know how can they survive in this kind of economy. But maybe they're full in the evening, we never know, do we?

That's what we did today. No photos for yesterday but a video for you all to enjoy - AJ's favorite games he really loved. There're 4 parts taken on Friday evening, yesterday morning, afternoon and evening. Enjoy!

We have too many wonderful things from the way we are brought up so do appreciate everything anything wholeheartedly. Eventhough it seems priceless to you.
