It is funny.. the feeling when your son says "Mami shee shee" for the first time. Finally he knows how to tell me he wants the toilet. I am so happy. Hopefully he will be toilet trained soon. Hoping to save a lot of disposable nappies.

Short and sweet today. My taxes are up. The thesis report is due. My 269 exam papers need marking. Ugh. My proposals are due very very soon. Sigh.. my poor babies.. they are gonna miss me. Forecast for this weekend. Mummy will be working and playing futsal, hoping that my kids would forgive me. Promised My Kiddo to bring him out in the weekend. Maybe I still could if I manage my time right. Sigh again.. I am MCing for the event on Friday. Sigh again and again.

Went to Tempurung on Monday and came back on Tuesday. We made some sand castle which got destroyed as soon as I put up the one tower of sand from plastic containers. I gave up. Tried to have a splish splash with My Kiddo in the sea but it was like full of Jellyfish. Uwaaaaaaaaa... LOL so much for my dream holiday. But guess how hardcore I was... with My kiddo safely in his longswimsuit, I got him to dive some huge waves.. (it was huge for a kiddo okay?) So in the end it was not all lost. I had a lot of peaceful sleep and fun playing with my kids on the sand. My lil baby's first time on the sand and he did not like it much. Some sand got into his mouth but I was chilled and let go of my freaky keep things clean nature. FYI My lil baby finally stood hands free for about 3 seconds on the bed. hmmm growing so fast My Rough n Tough boy. Next day did some banking and then went out Wednesday night. LOL I got totally sloshed with my Shoe string budget sis. It was like old times when we had...

Yep. I gave in. After living here for about 2 years. I finally fixed my landline and internet. It is becoming a proper home.. LOL.

When I was first leaving the UK to come back to Malaysia. I unhappily said goodbye to my favorite Camembert cheese and Brie. Guess what I married a man whose cousin makes the cheese in Kinarut Beach Cheese (Yahoo.. jumping up and down like a crazy loon). She works for a lovely Australian lady (Shelley Blew). I really thought then that God is really watching out for me. LOL. I started loving Camembert only after a French friend introduced it to me. Her name is Berengere and she is a lovely sweet girl who always brought French food back for me (I also miss Foie Gras, pronounced "fua graa", i.e. goose liver hoping someone produces this locally). Initially when Berengere gave it to me I went. Huh? what is this? ugh it smells. After a few more times. I started making my tomato and Camembert/Brie sandwiches for lunch. Then I got stuck on it. Love the taste. It is like soft gooey cheese and it melts in your mouth. Hmmmm... should have tapaued some home. The cheese factory is within ...

Guess what.. I looked at the ticket I bought two days ago in Donggongon and then today.. I won the LOTTERY RM1,000,000.00. Yahoo. Hmm this is so exciting. What can I spend the money on?.. Wooo hooo.. Any suggestions? I will pay off all my bloody credit card bills and CUT them all up! I will buy my mom a diamond ring! I will put up a trust fund for my kids. I will have another kid.. HAHAHAHAH I will pay off my car. I will pay off my student loans. I will give each of my siblings a lump of money. I will buy a new house. I will find a friend who really needs help and give them some money. I will put some money in an orphanage. Oh I will put up a fund for my parents for their sick days. I will buy myself new shoes. LOL I will visit my friends all over the world. I will start investing more. (aik kegawatan.. be careful). Wowwwwww I wish it was not April fool's day. HAPPY APRIL FOOL EVERYONE.
