Backdated UPDATES

I miss the streamyx :( I have been using maxis broadband for one month plus and so far i don't like their connection. it can be very slow and occasionally got disconnected by itself. I have been trying to upload photos and it took me more than 5 minutes to load 1 photos. So, I gave up.

I miss updating my blog. I usually will update with picture so my blog won't look so dry. But with the lousy broadband, I think I gotta update even if its without photos.

Some of the updates I have been prolonging are:
- my new home ;)
- CNY celebration and cookies I've made;
- Angel going to school; and
- last but not least my first holiday in the year 2010!

Be patience with me. I shall keep this blog alive again in no time.

Missing In Action

I have been missing from my blog because no more free time during office hour and no internet connection at home for the past one month. Due to desperation, we have sign-up with Maxis broadband. But I still have not updated this blog as much as I like to.

Have been very busy at work since my new boss join us. The task/project just keep coming our way. At one time, I could be asked to take-up a few projects with a very short timeline. This is so much difference with the past year when I (and my colleagues) are left with not much work except for those periodic reporting. I start to get used to this workload now, thanks to my boss who also start to feel our stress and help very much in off-loading our stress.

At home (in our new house), am keeping up with all the housework.. For the past 5 years of my married life, I do not need to worry about housework cause my MIL will usually manage it with the part-time maid. Now that we are on our on, I am very much responsible for all the work - washing, vacuuming, sweeping, cleaning, cooking etc.... the list does not end here. 

After work, reach home, take bath, go to mom house, have dinner, bring baby home, ta da ta da and sleep. The routine continues everyday during the working days. Once awhile we get to relax if we don't bring Angel back from mom's house. During those time, I feel lazy to do anything and just want to do nothing!

So, do I regret moving out? No. Because I have the house to myself and I can do whatever I like at home. I mean I can arrange and decorate the house as I like, provided Hubby is agreeable la. And also we have been entertaining our friends at our house and enjoying ourselves.

No pain, no gain. I know I only need more time to get used to this routine and workload. I know I will be able to coop and manage my work and family. Or rather I hope I can and it will be my resolution for the year.

I need more time!!!!

We are celebrating Chinese New Year in 3 days and I feel like I am not prepared yet. I have fully unpack and celebrated Angel's birthday last Sunday but I'm definitely not prepared for the festive season.

First, I don't have enough deco for my house. Speaking of which I have not updated the fully renovated house here. Cause I'm busy with work and we still do not have Streamyx at our area. Ooohhhhh.. please help!

Second, I have not finish baking my cookies. I plan to bake more to give it away to MIL and SIL. Bought all the ingredients but no time, no time!

Third, my workload is getting heavier by the day. I used to brag that I have lots of time to spare but not anymore :(

I think I should stop complaining cause I have decided that despite my work and with my boss approval, I will go on leave this Friday to do as much as I can in a day -bake, shop, clean etc.

I hope you are more prepared then I am.

Happy Chinese New Year

We have moved!

Yippie, we have finally moved to our new house! Have been busy unpacking for the last 4 and a half days (the other half day is spent dying my hair, yup new hair colour for the new year).

And, for the past 5 days, I'm SOOOoooooo OFFLINE! No internet access at all cause the TM line is not up yet. Probably need to wait for another month for the TM guys to install the cables. Sigh.. feel like I'm living out of this world without the internet.

I have not finish unpacking. My study room is still filled up with box and box of I-don't-know-what inside. I think I'll probably need another 3 days to completely unpack and tidy up the house. Then I will be ready to decorate my house for the CNY which is just about 3 weeks from today.

Before that, will celebrate Angel's 3rd birthday.

Gosh, I need more time and hands!

Renovation: Week 7, 8 and ....

Hehehe.. another combine progress report of several weeks!!!
Yes, I'm so busy and missing from this blog for a long time.

By now the house is almost done but I don't have any latest photos as everytime I'm there I'm busy cleaning the house. Too busy to take any photos.
