TT #12

Good day my TT friends. It's nice to meet you all. Looks like I am a bit slow over here. This is only my 12th contribution. And my last writing for TT #11 is about 3 months ago. Anywhere, I still wish to continue writing. The times I like to update a bit about me....


1. I had changed my hairstyle. I keep the same hairstyle more than 2 years so I decided to have a big chance. From long until my breast, it's now short just below my ears. Fresh and younger looks now. :P

2. Finally we go for our first movie after I give birth to my elder princess. It's about 5 years! Anywhere, that is a funny movie that makes us laugh until tears welled up. Strongly recommend you all to watch it as well!

3. After the movie, we decided to plan for our next date for movie. It's a good start for both of us. This is one of the great ways to keep up our relationship. Agree with me?

4. We still not decided yet what the budget for our new car is. Either we buy a cheap second hand car by cash or we pick a nice one and go for monthly installment. I still prefer the first choice as I don't think is right time for us to go for another financial risk. Hopefully hubby can accept my view....

5. My credit card earning points saving now are almost reaching my target to redeem a new hand phone. Sounds cool, right? Don't know how will the warranty condition is if get a hand phone by this way. I need to check this before I make my redemption.

6. My office will move to another new building. We all packed our files and empty those shelves and cabinets. Moving shelves and cabinets will be the first shift. Friendly speaking I hate this. I am not use to be a mover. Some more I need to take extra care with my back when shifting. I don't want it to be hurt AGAIN!

7. Back to my yoga class. I planned to start it next month. Another two weeks for me to enjoy good rest after works. Thereafter, I need to rush for my class after work so that I can start early and finish early. Just wish to back home on time as usual because my working hours is until 5pm.

8. I need to spend more time with my elder princess as she will have her first test. Just wondering what will be the best way to keep her sitting on her table for at least two hours without disturb by my little younger princess....

9. We are planning to have a vacation with my family. That will be ten of us. I never try to book online flight tickets. Maybe I should collect all ten members identity card numbers' first before I start on it. Still considering where to go....

10. My mother in law will have a long vacation next month. It's a great excuse for me to apply leave and being a stay at home mom. :P

11. My little younger princess keeps on asking when to send her to school. That is a good sign as she wants to be like her elder sister. I am considering get her start in mid year but I am wondering is it too early sending her to kindergarten. She is three years old now.

12. Because of expenses more than earning now, I need to stop myself continue being a shopping spree. I still prefer going to shopping mall once a week but just window shopping. :P

13. Hubby gets fever with his personal site. He is no good in writing but his interest is photographing. Hop over his site to enjoy his great shots here. (Oh, now you know I am 'Mrs. Yap'. LOL)

Happy TT!

Thursday Thirteen 11

Time files, it is now end of the year 2007. Four more days to go until the year 2008. Looking backwards I did some good and some are worst in 2007. Here I sharing with you all my thirteen happiness and unforgettable happening in my life in the year 2007:

1.
This is the blog that I started writing in year 2007. It's like a baby and waiting to celebrate her first birthday. I promise myself to continue maintenance the post quality as good as possible even though my English still poor enough to make it great.

2.
After 3 months consideration, I changed a new job. Changing a full time job means life is chance as well. New environment, new friends, new experiences.

3.
I meet up a new and consider close friend now. She is a funny girl. She likes to joke and she always make us laugh like crazy. Because of her, working in new company is happy always even though all of us a busy and stress also.

4.
Because of new job, I force to blog lesser compare to before. It's not easy to continue manage three blogs but I will try my best. I wish I can continue by getting all of your support!

5.
Being a mother, I know I am not the best but I have improve myself to spend more time with my two little princesses even though my working hours are longer than the old job. I proud to be a two years old and a four years old princess's mother.

6.
I feel bad to myself for what I had done in March 2007. I know I can not do anything to reimbursement what's the thing happened. I pray hard and I promise myself always remember the case and not to make that happened twice in my life......

7.
I successfully settle my first housing loan. After that, I feel more freedom to spend money. :P

8.
I am still not enough money to spend because I am working hard now planning to settle my second housing loan. So, I am still consider a poor lady. LOL

9.
I not manage to travel overseas this year. I know I can if I want but I just think that this is not the right time for me. The most reason is because my little younger princess still prefer sleep beside me.

10.
My elder princess finished her first year kinda. I still remember the day one she crying like no tomorrow and continue crying for more than three months to kinda. Now she said she hope to go back to kinda and complaining why the school holidays are so long. This is my invaluable experience to being a first year kinda mom.

11.
My health are so weak until I fall sick and visit doctor for more than 15 times. I can't even calculate how much I had spend on my medication. Hopefully in year 2008 I can gain better health by doing more exercise.

12.
Thursday Thirteen is one of my successful records. I can not believe that I am still continuing it today. My aim is to encourage myself to write longer post compare to normal post I here is my eleventh contribution. I proud to myself!

13.
Because of blogging, I meet so many internet friends. This is like magic in my life. They sharing their though, their happiness, giving me helping hands, advises, etc. This make me believe that there are so many good and great and even best people in this world. Cheers!

It's forth week with Thursday Thirteen. Its one month with Thursday Thirteen. I love to see my post with Thursday Thirteen glow.

Here I share with you my 13 things that I am going to do this coming weekend.

1. Income Tax submission. The Form BE due date is on 30.04.07 and I have not complete my tax computation. This is my 1st priority to get the form fill up and I should send it by courier otherwise my submission will be late and I may compound a penalty....

2. My father birthday dinner will be held on this Saturday. It's his 60 years old birthday. I need to double confirm with my two sweet sisters for the dinner time. Actually every time I will be the one who are late. Maybe you will notice this if you already become mom and dad. Every time whenever there will be an appointment to go out. Never let the kids know earlier until the time to go out or else the kids will always skip the nap and waiting to go out. Before reach the appointment time, then the kids will tired and fall sleep, so they always can not wake up on time....

3. I think we should make a reservation to the restaurant for the birthday dinner. We should make sure there will be a table waiting for us when we reach there rather than waiting others people finish eating. Yes. We are totally 10 including my 2 little princesses. I do wish that my brother can join us as this will be reunion dinner as well. But he is working in UK right now. Anyway, Happy Birthday to my beloved father!

4. I will bring my family to the Kuala Lumpur International Book fair this weekend. Maybe we will spend half day there since there will be so many booths to be visit. I do hope that my two little princesses will love books and reading.

5. I will have a small lesson to my two little princesses every Sunday. I will start teaching them 300 Tang Poems. Maybe I am a little bit traditional. I do hope that they can learn some Chinese literature. One week teach and learn one poem. 300 weeks to go. :)

6. To change and wash all the bed sheets. Normally I will do this once a month, every month end.

7. Move out the mattresses under the sunshine. I do hope that this weekend will be a sunny day for my mattresses to get a sun bath.

8. Bath with my two little princesses. I enjoy bathing with my two little princesses. Every kids love water. I enjoy to see them playing with water with my full permission during the bath times. Normally the bath will takes half to one hour.

9. Finish reading my April edition Reader Digest. May is coming and new edition will be arriving soon. I subscripted the magazine for a year. This is my only entertainment at home.

10. Go for swimming. Such a long time I am not doing any exersice. When you stop then you will become lazy to restart again. I have to keep up my exersice for my own healty.

11. Sweep and mop like every house wife do. This is a wife responsibility? Some times I really appreciated my hubby welling to help me on this.

12. Washing clothes as usual. I am more preferring hand wash. Idiot! Got washing machine already still hand wash? Yes, I always claims that hand wash will be much more cleaner and much more gentler than machine wash. :P

13. Blogging as usual. I don want to miss any chance to make money by blogging as well. :P

So many things to be done. So little times.... To all my visitors, hope you all enjoy your coming weekend!
