PonyTales

I was tagged by Pinky last year on this…and now only I dig out to do. Talking about procrastinate :p

I am still lazy as of today but I manage to sort of get a tool to do this from Baby Center Malaysia instead of Wikipedia. Yeap, we have our own baby center now..woohoo! With tips which are very asian and they have some article about confinement lady. Do hop over for a visit.

Okay, let’s see what’s happening on this day:

1706: Benjamin Franklin, US statesman, writer and inventor, was born
Fuuuwahh… 

Here it goes…

1. Life is full of excitement when we think positively

2. I smile when I recall all the good times I have with my family and friends

3. I can’t sleep when I was heartbroken, but sleep is not a problem for me nowadays

4. I love the smell of lavendar

5. When I can’t sleep, I read the Bible or pray to God

6. I often dream about getting filthy rich and travelling around the world! lol!

7. I get irritated with arrogant but lazy people…and sometimes the mess Zoe made…

8. I like the sound of Christmas music

9. People often call me Pony

10. I wish I could own my dream home now…

11. The best creation in the world is shoes, I can never have enough of it :p

12. 1st 3 words that comes to my mind: Christmas(something I am looking forward to), Shopping (still had not enough of it) and Birthday (still planning for it)…

13. I’ve discovered that nothing gets done if we don’t make the first move/step into doing it!

14. When I’m in love, I am on cloud 9…everything else takes a second seat

15. A baby is born pure and innocent…till they turn 2 :p

16. Before I met my husband, I never went into the jungle or know how delicious is Kelantanese food…

17. A good marriage requires lots of communication, good food and humour!

18. I dislike reckless driver and people who cut queue…

19. I say ‘I Love You’ everyday to Zoe…sometimes if I remember, to my hubby :p

20. My favourite subject in school was history, althou it’s not entirely the truth!

Ooh…I got tagged by Ann. Okay, at least I can write something now. Thanks Ann.

Actually I am quite busy, lots of things to think about for work, which is rather technical…till I am now quite lost with words. But I am gonna do this tag cause it is very special and relevant, since we just celebrated our anniversary. Its good to recall back some of the things we have shared…if I can still remember…opps

Here you go…

1. In which month and year did you meet your husband for the first time?
Oh dear, first question itself I already cannot remember lah. Actually, we were studying in the same institution but we are not even friends that time. I knew he existed while working part time there, still a student. When I joined the institution as an employee, he is my senior and a rather serious one - ordering me to fax documents, carry PCs and do all sorts of "kuli" job…that was back in year 2000. So, historically…I knew he existed in year 1997

2. In which month and year did you two officially starting dating?
February 2002, after Chinese New Year (yeahhh…I remember!! thou gotta do a bit maths here…)

3. Where was the first dating place the two of you went to?
1 Utama (coincidently, this is the place we have our wedding dinner too…geez)

4. What was the most touching thing he did for you when you two were still dating?
A "public" proposal that involves all my cell group friends and all those invited to our cell group Christmas eve party. How could I say no to such a proposal? How could I laid down more conditions/rules before I say yes, in front of audiences…? Nevertheless, it was very touching cause at that time, I dunno that he actually wanted to marry me…hee hee

5. How about after your marriage?
Taking care of me when I was pregnant and sick to the core due to hyperemesis (excessive vomitting). He has to prepare breakfast for me before work. Go to work and return during lunch, buy lunch for me and come back from work, buy or cook dinner for me. All that and he will find that I vomitted everything he prepared for me, sometimes right after I ate a few spoon. He has to clean up after that as well and stand the vomit stench that lasted quite long, yet still have to finish all the house chores. All that he did very patiently, never complained. It was very depressing that time cause I was behaving like a person who is terminally ill, starving to death - just existing, not living. In those times, he never complained but would just normally go out to the balcony for a short breather. I guess he shed a tear or two fearing for my life and the little life (Zoe) inside me. I saw his emotional strength and preserverance that time cause he is always very positive in front of me. It touched me so much and helped me to carry Zoe till she is born.

6. Share your lowest period of your life with him.
All the above in question 5 that lasted 31 weeks and also when I was jobless for a couple of months, he took care of everthing, never complained.

7. Share your happiest moment with him?
The day he sent me a bouquet of roses and ask me whether I can accept him, via phone during CNY (he was back in hometown)…hahaha. I was till hurting that time due to a broken relationship but his gesture, straight forwardness and sincerity made me the happiest person alive that day.

8. Share your saddest moment with him.
When I was hospitalised (twice) due to my pregnancy sickness, fearing for the little life inside me and my very own life. The second time, he was still in his pyjamas, rushing me to the hospital ER in the wee hours of the morning as I was vomitting non-stop till we saw some traces of blood in my vomit.

9. Share your angriest moment with him.
We were still dating that time and because of some miscommunication (mainly his part), I was all dress up to attend a wedding dinner with him. It was his friend’s wedding but I was actually not invited…so I was sent home, all dress up. I did not answer his calls after that for 24 hours…hahaha!!!

10. Share your funniest moment with him.
Seeing how Zoe is so much like him, in terms of looks, her tastebuds and behaviour. It is really amusing that even he find it hard to believe sometimes…lol

11. Share your most frustrated moment with him.
Whenever I am sooo sleepy and having a migraine and Zoe kick up a fuss in the wee hours of the morning. I will hand Zoe to him and continue sleeping…muahahaha

12. Lastly, when was the last time you two hold hands and walk under the moonlight, like how you used to do?
2006, during our last trip to Bangkok. We were in Pattaya and I was actually 4 weeks pregnant and we have no idea at all that time…gee, so long ago lar…
We do hold hands now, thou its connected with Zoe in between…hahaha!

Will not tag anyone, if you feel like it, then go ahead and do this meme

I got a tag from Ann…hehehe

Hmm, my ex-boss used to tell me that common sense is not common to people. Is he trying to tell me off - dunno laa as I could not care much then. I knew I did my job to the best I could.

The rules:
1. Link to the person that tagged you - Ann
2. Post the rules on your blog.
3. Share six non-important things/habits/quirks about yourself.
4. Tag someone

The non-sensical me consists of:

1. I am very vulnerable to sale, warehouse clearance and all sorts of sale. I have the urge to buy even when I don’t need the item (just yet!). I changed job from KLCC (shopping haven) to an area I believe have less influence, somewhere in PJ - little did I know that this place is surrounded by warehouse! Sigh, sale just could not leave me alone….
2. I got to have the toilet light turned ON when I take bath - even on broad daylight.
3. I love to go for spa and I paid like RM1xx to RM2xx for a session, without the need to think much. However, I need to think over a week or two when I want to buy a pair of comfy working shoe or a nice working blouse that costs RMxx or RMxxx - something which I need more than spa
4. I cannot watch horror movie alone. I better not watch any cause I will be freaking out so often after that - its disturbing my routine…..bleh!
5. I used to often day dream that I am a very talented performer - singing a great song while playing the guitar or dancing like I never danced before…geez!
6. I find that planning/dreaming for a holiday is more fun than being in the holiday itself - at least few of the times.

Okay, I want to know what non-sensical stuff these people have - Simon, WY and CityGal

Simon tagged me this long time ago, I just could not find time to do it until today when I am already in office at 7:50am. Yea, the first few to be in office, it is so quiet but I kinda like to be early. It gives me a sense of in control and that I have a lot of time to warm up to my work - like starting the work day with a blog!

Okay, here you go, my desktop…

My baby girl keeps me motivated to work

I won’t tag anyone so early in the morning…hehehe
