hi, it has been a while...

I was so busy with life, 2 weeks of library science course and altho' it has been over a week ago, I am still struggling to do the BTOR (back to office report)... so many writing up to do!

Last weekend, my whole family went back to my mom's hometown in Kiulu to visit our dearly beloved Tinah (Grandma) she is now getting much older and not that 'fit' anymore due to old ripen golden age. But, she is still very jovial... no sign of 'nyanyuk' still can recognize and talk properly... My twins suddenly decided to call her Nenek Granny I told them she is their Great Grandma, which is Grandma's mother. They are a bit confused at first. Edel said she is mom's nenek. So, they eventually called her Nenek Granny... ;)

Pics was taken during our outing. We took the time to take my kids to the Jambatan Gantung near my Grandma's house... and later that evening, we went back to my mom's place to help with "Mongutus Totok" hehe sound funny eh! and I have never done it for ages I think my waist have parted with my body... teruk kan!

Eh Worm!!

Eh Worm!!

Mom and Edel trying luck fishing ;)

 

Papa : Let me roll up your pants!!!

 

Grandpa: Careful, hold tight!

Away from Home!!!!

I have been away for 8 days now...

First to Penang, I have to attend a Conference in Batu Feringghi, Penang and it was quite marvellous as I got to listen to a number of papers presented by famous speaker from around the world.  On the first day, it was indeed a packed day with a corporate dinner after the 1st day session.  It was quite love I must say, the dinner was done at the Garden infront of Batu Feringghi Beach with a Warung Style where they set up about 7 stalls of local food like Penang Char Kway teow, Penang Laksa, Pasembor, Satay, Hokkien Mee, ABC stall, Roti Jala and yummy Otak-Otak... it was nice and quite an eye opening for me!

On the 2nd day, it was a full packed conference talking about going green and digital... hmm bored separuh mati!!

We boarded the public transport to KL from Sungai Nibong, wah, what a pleasant experience, for the first time I crossed the sea from the mainland to Georgetown... the longest bridge bah... so syok and what a sight!!!

Hehe and i was mistakenly by 3 people who thought I am a Filipino...

Now, am in PJ for the next 8 days catching up on Trainings, meetings and etc...

Edel cried a lot and even wore my baju to sleep but the twins syok pula.... hmm :)

Uncertain...

hmmm uncertained about the upcoming official trip to KL next 3 weeks...

I will have to spent 1 week in our office HQ to catch-up on trainings and also arrghhh the most dreaded performance appraisal (my first face to face) and after that a 2 days library conference in Penang and then continue with a week stint back at the HQ... this time catching up on IT... hmmm

These reminds me of how I spent my days in Kuching last year when Edel on tow!

With Edel, busily "lending a helping hand"....

How I wished that I can bring all babies around wherever I might be!!! ;)

back to work...

I'll be posting some pics later about our Kaamatan weekend..

At last, we have managed to sneaked out from Kepayan all the way to Keningau, we spent 2 days and 1 nite camping out at my sis-in law's lawn in Keningau. It was the first camping trip I've had after 15years... and the first for Edel, Jade & Crystal.

They were so excited with it... but, during the nite, they all complaining about not bringing a thick mattress... and yabba dabba more grouses than ever...

But, luckily they slept thru the nite in the camp as my nephew would not even enter his tent... his parents was really frustrated as they actually when to source for the tent in Keningau and have to spent about rm77 just for a simple unbranded tent...

On the other note, I attended my first cousin wedding at Putera Hall in Bukit Padang, it was such a lovely ocassion and I can forsee their happiness... I also managed to see my dearest cousin Winnie who I have not seen for years!!!

Edel's First Fall out Tooth!

Yupe, my daughter Edel has her first tooth pulled out... I am excited with the changes, she is growing.... fast!!!

Last nite, she came to me and said "Mom, I'm worried, I brushed my teeth twice a day but something wrong with my teeth, it suddenly loose!!"

hehe, that is her exact word...

She insisted to call her aunt "Mommie Enon" to get her reassurance...

She passed the phone back to me smiling saying that Mommie Enon said you have to buy me Ice-Cream!!! hehe

Pain on my neck...

I have sprained a nerve on my neck... it is very painful and uncomfortable...

But, I am happy it friday and I am going for a massage ...

Tick-tock-tick-tock, am waiting for lunch time

Need that massage and pampering....

Kaamatan!!

Siopon !!!

All the other "Tukang Siop!!!"

today...

My laptop acting up... The technical person said there is a bad sector on the HDD and need to be replaced.. So, I have to do my files back-up or else lost everything that I have stored here... priceless info

It has been two weeks since I go on my diet regime... I think I can see the result around my abdomen, altho' the bulk is still there but I am sure I have shrink to about an inch and a half... maybe it would be more visible in 4 weeks time....

I just got the news that I will be having a Librarian Conference in Penang on the 15 & 16 June 2009.  So, I have to make my bookings soon... 

I have to make arrangement for my children to stay at my mom's for about a week or so (12 days) oh no ! I will missed them terribly....

But, hey, have to make a living so Penang here I come... (Have to spent 7 days in PJ office before adjourning to Penang for the conference!) Have to find a nice pair of shoes while I'm in KL...

This is Edel and Tashnee, hiking the hill behind my parents' house in Tenghilan... I want to do it again...

My youngest sista with the amazing view from the hilltop....

life development...

I have been following a strict diet for the past 7 days... self imposed dieting regime which exclude the comsumption of rice...

Morning breakfast was taken at 7am, which I have been preparing for my family of 5 for the past years.. mainly noodles or toast or cereals...

A must calcium drinks for the whole family Melko (Milk Chocolate drink) and at least a cup of noodles or cereals have to be consumated by the whole family...

I also packed lunch for the 3 munchies...

I think I've lose some weight and notice that my pants is not that tight anymore... so, I am determined to lose more kilos...

If you have known me, I have been keeping/storing a humongous amount of fat around the belly, buttock and thigh... with the height of only 158cm, I looked so dwarft with my obese weight of 3 figures...

So, ENOUGH with living in GLUTON it is time to shed the GLUTON OFF THE RACK....

I am determined to do that now at 35.... at least I am back at my 28th years old body (still heavy on the scales but acceptable)....

I will try to post some pics or visit my FB....

today...

Well, at last, with my mighty hand I managed to re-arrange our Knowledge Centre... with the new space now, I can think of purchasing a round table for the convenience of users... and I am also thinking to place a huge cardboard for people to sign-in whenever the enter the Library like a visitor book... hehe can be incorporated as my KPIs hehehe

On the other note, my dad is in town attending a 5 days seminar on agriculture, I am very supportive of him attending such a course after retiring from teaching for the last 30 years...  Put his Green Fingers into working wonders... He loves to grow plants... and I must have inherited it from him, I too have a passion of growing plants... haha

I am busy doing the final draft of the recent study I undertook... with the help of my attentive boss, I am now penning the bits and pieces of details that I need to strengthen the docs...  Hopefully I can submit by monday *Fingers crossed!!!

Oh ya, abt yesterday incident, Edel have small accident in the car, she pricked her eyes (the pupil to be exact) with her hair pin.  She was trying to adjust her hair pin when suddenly the car jerked and she accidently prick her eyes... We are so scared that we drove directly to the QEH emergency ward...  Luckily after investigation the Dr said that the prick is only a scracth on the layer of the pupil and is not deep to cause any harm... Thank GOD!!!  Jade is having bad flu infection but I hope with the medication she will recover fast...

I am still sticking to my own diet regime.. hopefully I shed some weight off especially on the tummy area... GO Me GO Myself!!!!

our 7th Anniversary...

1) 1st May
our 7th Wedding Anniversary... wow, how time flies... together with our courtship years... we have walked side by side for almost 17 years.... I've known my Nong for 17 years ... what can i say? I am grateful that God has given him to walk with me in this life... with our three precious daughters Edel, Jade & Crystal... Can't live without them...

What we did during our anniversary :
1) Fixed our new book shelving
2) Re-arrange our Family picture
3) Re-arrange the whole living room!!!!

2) Sabbath
Me and my girls attended Sabbath... The sabbath school lesson is "Passing the Test" and the memory verse hit me hard "Reject the wrong, and, Choose the RIGHT!" Isaiah 7:15...
Daniel and his friends choose the right food and they are blessed... So, I am going to do the same for myself and also the whole of the family...

3) Sunday
After doing chores around the house, my girls and me did some gardening, I managed to transfer 6 aloe vera into their own pots....

my life lately...

1) Hubby is extremely busy with his upcoming church seminar, attending novena everynight.. leaving me and children alone for 4 hours everynite... Luckily, today is the last one and they will be having the seminar beginning 24th till 26th Apr...

2) Edel having fever and stomach upset.. that was our first diagnostic but after having to see 3 doctors it turned out to be Urinary Tract Infection... "Kurang Minum Air" said the Doctor, she is now getting better and attended school today...

3) I need a break... I really want to cool myself at the pergunungan... don't know when...

;)

being me ..

I alighted from the lift going to my office this morning when suddenly from the other elevator, out came 2 women, the first women look at me and quickly make some remark to her friend who also turned her head to look at me! I don't give a damn... But, suddenly the 2nd bitch make a hand gesture telling her friend that indicate a 'Fat' person with both her hand lifted making a gesture of someone being very 'big' and both giggle like nobodys business... I was so angry with the gesture I sprang out loud a word "CHEH!!!" both turned their head and rushed to their office which is next to my office, I almost chased them and wanted to confront them... they think they are perfect with their figure....

Why the world cannot accept people that is FAT...

Gluton was put as 1 of the 7 sins but yet what about people who are comfortable of being Glutonny ???

I can lose weight anytime I want but I like being me and I am not afraid of it... I am not ashamed of it but I don't like being laugh at...

From young, I was being called as si Gumuk... but I don't care, this is my size, my character, this is me... so what ???

I am so frustrated but yet I am blessed!!!!

more rambles...

I got an sms from my dear friend...

"I just realised what missing every time i go to the office. You! Never see you when I go in! Sob!..."

I was extremely delighted as .....I am STILL a Glow Worm... I brighten up people....

I'm home-d!!!!!........

I have been home-d tuesday nite....

So good to be at home!!! I learnt some nasty secret of someone I dearly loved but this is not to be indulged here...

On the other note, I am busy with work again... As usual, I am broke but I am thankful for everything in my life... I am not blaming anyone but myself... I need to do drastic change...

People does make judgement with the way you look!!!! Do you think people who is nicely dressed have $$ ? what about someone who looked haggard but he is infact a very rich people ?

hmm... something to ponder & wonder...

I am in Kuching for the 3rd time...
