Damn, I was his servant!

This is the picture used as the desktop by Mr Hubby for our home PC.

Can you imagine a man so strict and fierce, (OK, not fierce, he don't like me to say that he fierce, just more autocratical toward me) can be so tender to his little girl?

.

They say...

"女儿是父亲上辈子的情人, 妻子却是丈夫上辈子的佣人!"

It is so TRUE!

Like that, does it means that I used to call Laetitia "少奶奶" ?!

Spending Quality Time

Had taken my replacement off last Fri and AL this Tue & Wed, and Mr Hubby also had taken AL during the same period. So in and all, we had a total of 5 full days to spend quality time together as a family, or so I thought.

Then the weekend past; we didn't do much. Mr Hubby had an overnight MJ session with his friends. And we went shopping for home improvement stuff. Bought a pedestal for Mr Hubby's mini fountain and a dehumidifier for Laetitia's room.

Her room is facing the swimming pool hence the humidity is causing the room to become mouldy easily. Even that 'Hippo' thing didn't quite work, her clothes would feel damp & smell funny. Hope this gadget will work. Opss, did I get carried away?? :P

Anyway came Deepavali, also can't remember we did anything significant except for having dinner with IL and visiting my aunts. But heck, we still have Tue & Wed right?

Tue & Wed slipped by.... with Mr Hubby having to return to office for important meetings. Both FULL days!

*sigh...

Would we get to see even LESSER of him when he starts his regional position in Dec?


Well, at least Laetitia and I have some pretty good "Baby+Mommy" time together. She loves playing with water so much that she wouldn't miss any chance to touch them even though we just happen to be passing by the pool on our way to go home.





Luckily Mr Hubby marries me lor. I am independent, understanding and NEVER make a fuss about him having to work late or to work even when he is supposed to be on leave. And I am even supportive of him going regional.

娶了我是他前世修来的福气!!

Roooaaarrrrr!!!

Toothache & Teething!

Last night, I experienced a sudden pain which erupted from my right molar and it shot right through to my brain.

FUCK!! It hurts like hell!!

Mr Hubby advised me to go see a dentist. I told him, " I would choose to have a surgery over seeing a dentist, anytime!


I have a morbid phobia for dentist. I freaked out even if it was to have the dentist look into my mouth. That's how bad it is.


Today, I rely solely on my left jaw for eating because each time I try to chew with my right, the pain would be unbearable. I think going to the dentist is just a matter of time already lah.

Sibei scared lor! *_*

If you are wondering why Laetitia looked more pissed than her mommy who is suffering from a horrible toothache; she is having her own set of tooth-related issue.

She is teething again!

Oh man! She is grouchy like hell!

Purpose of my life

I am not somebody who fancy babies but she just 'gatecrashed' into my life. Now she becomes the purpose of my life. Making the decision to have her has been my BEST choice ever!

"Sometimes GOD works in a mysterious way."

Family Portrait

Went to Mr Hubby's friend's studio to get Laetitia's passport-size photo taken and we actually got more than what we went for.

After his photographer friend was done with taking Laetitia's picture. He asked the 2 of us to get in the set as well for a complimentary family portrait.

But... but... but... I wasn't prepared to be photographed. I was NAKED!.... I mean my face was bare, makeup-less!

His friend kept saying it was okay, I don't look that scary without powder... blah.. blah..

"You can photoshop in anything you want later!" he claimed.

"Oh okay.." I thought might as well since it is FREE!!!

So 'CLICHED!' 'CLICHED!' ... in 10 seconds, it was done - our first studio taken family portrait.

I like this photo best!

Hey! Wait a minute, I don't have Adobe CS3 so how do I edit my photo?

I WANT MY MAKEUP!

Life can be good

One morning I woke up really early. Instead of turning and tossing in bed or lying there motionless, I decided to get up.

I went to the balcony and sat on the swing, as dawn began to break. The gentle morning breeze, the sound of birds chirping, the soft light from the rising sun - I closed my eyes, took a deep breathe and I almost cried. The beauty of this simple morning was simply too overwhelming.

My life is good!

Words can't describe how fucking glad I am to be alive.

I recalled I used to hate everything about my life for the longest time. Many a time, I thought being alive was the single most tormenting thing. I questioned my existence; do I even have a purpose in this world?

All that had changed since March 2006.

I am so relieved I made the right choice to leave and to believe that there is a better life without a toxic partner.

***********************

Are you still feeling trapped? Do you seriously believe that the day will come when he/she would finally change? Are you still hoping for a miracle to happen to save your relationship?


Let me tell you, SOMETIMES LOVE JUST AIN'T ENOUGH.

Leave, if you had already tried all means; don't let toxicity robbed your life! For you only live once.

Just for laughs

I am a super-duper Model?! Hahaha...

In bed with another man!?

Don't tell me you are stupid enough to believe I would be caught dead sleeping with this Ang Moh man .

In the world of photo-editing, anything is possible. So never be fooled by the photo of "chio bu" you see online coz more than half the time, they are actually sibei hideous in reality.

Me? I represent the other half. I am chio, both in and out of reality.

MUAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!

BBQ over flameless charcoals

We have moved to The Warren for a good 10 months; Mr Hubby thought it is high time we make use of the BBQ pit there. We used to BBQ in Northvale quite regularly before we shifted here.

Mr Hubby organised a BBQ cum drinking session with his buddies. As spouse and child, Laetitia & I were the roses among the thorns.

At first those gung ho guys thought they can start a flame without any fire-starter. So they, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 guys, struggle to get the charcoals up.

Finally, they surrendered and sent one guy to the pit next to us, begging for some fire-starters.

With the fire-starters in place, I thought we would get started in no time. Alas, I was so wrong.

So the boys chilled with some beers while waiting for fire to drop from the sky.

Meanwhile Laetitia was getting impatient. She wondered if Mommy would have roasted her potatoes in the oven would they have been cooked long ago?

The boys even borrowed Laetitia's fan, in a desperate attempt to get the charcoal burning. Meanwhile only fast-cooking stuff like hot-dogs and buns were found on the grill. This was 2 hours since we got here!

And me, always been regarded as the brainless by Mr Hubby, was actually smart enough to smuggle some food home to cook in my trusted oven.

And you know what, Mr Hubby's brainless bimbo-tic wife actually saved the day by cooking 70% of the food in her oven to feed the boys!

So who are you calling stupid?!

Christmas Comes Early

More pictures of the D&D, I had last week.

All pictures were complimentary from the good people who brought their cameras. Thanks to Zen, Julie, Gynn, Ah Tan and many more for the beautiful pictures and the wonderful time.

Let us all journey from good to GREAT together!

The Santa-rina From Penang

Went to Penang for our annual BC Convention. The resort, Park Royal was a wonderful place, however I was too busy to enjoy it. I didn't even get a chance to set foot on the pool or the beach, despite staying there for FIVE days! (3 days BC Convention + 2 days QBP Offsite meeting)


It's the norm. I had travelled and stayed in numerous luxurious 5 stars resort/hotel due to work and one thing had been consistent; I would only get to be in my room, the meeting rooms, the ballroom, the restaurant and that's about it. So sad :(

View for my room. The beach looked so welcoming! And on a few occasions, I actually spotted horses on the beach. Imagine, how romantic, ridding the horse with your loved ones along the sandy beach!

On the first night, we had some "team-building" dinner thingy. I was with some of my co-workers at this place called 'Martini Cafe' which served VERY HORRIBLE martinis. You can judge how yucky it tasted just by looking at the face of the drinker. Poor Sharon!

Found an interesting signage when I was searching for a loo to pee.

The theme for this year's D&D was "Christmas came early", so I was dressed up as Satan-rina, which incidentally is the female version of Santa Claus.

One picture with my roomie, Cherie, before heading down to the ballroom.

That's all the pictures I took with my cellphone; had forgotten to bring camera. I even forgot my cellphone charger this time. What a blur-queen!?

Will post more pictures, if I can get people with cameras to kindly send me the photos. Yo! Ladies, where are all the cool pictures??

.........

My Passport Photo

Don't look like me meh??!!

...........

One from the airport

I am blogging this from one of those free internet access in the airport, while waiting for the gate to be opened.

Earlier, the immigration officer had taken forever to examine the photo of my passport only to tell me that she cannot grant my access because the photo don't look like me. She gave me 2 options; use the automated gate or she ask her senior officer to help me.

WTF! Got so different meh?! OK, I have become prettier, just tell me lah!

GTG, the gate is opened for boarding. Come back then post my passport photo for all to view.

.

Ain't I good enough?

Someone asked, "Would you be worried about not being good enough for your man?"

I answered, without hesitation, "No. Why should I? I am so goddamn good already lor!"

The someone probably thought I wasn't serious about answering the question. But I am dead serious about my answer.



I can cook, I earn a decent salary, I am attractive for my age and status, I am considerate and forgiving, witty and interesting, plus I look after our baby well... and the list just goes on and on... (my fingers will break typing all my qualities out)

So how can I not be good enough?

.....

If my man thinks that I am not good enough than he is a fucking FOOL lor!

.

Actually, why should one even bother to burden themselves with worries like that in the first place?

You can be sibei GOOD but if he don't appreciate you also like that mah. On the other hand, some women can be kan si lang jia lat, but their men will just love them machiam teo kong tau like that.

Aiya... all these "I good or not" or "you love or not", best not to bother your men with stuff like that. Through my years of experience with men, the more you 'stirred' them, the worst they will become. Just LEAVE THEM ALONE and concentrate on doing things that makes yourselves happy and you soon see them coming crawling to you!

One word : 贱!

Periodically, men have PMS too! It's like, I fucking do the bleeding while he displays the crankiness!! Don't that sometimes makes you want to stick that used piece of pad on his face?!

Men, you can't live with them, you can't live without them!


But for the next 5 days, I am gonna be living without him; I will be out-stationed in Malaysia. Well like they always say "Absence makes the heart fonder".... however I knew this will not be true for my Mr Hubby.

*Bleah!

The New Maid & The New Law

I picked up my new replacement maid yesterday. She is the exact opposite of my previous maid. For a start, she is not the very bright type; she grew up in the rural kampong and with her shallow experience working as a domestic worker, she is a tough challenge for me to train.

Having Xiao Hong, the part-time maid from China and Karein, my previous maid, who were both very efficient in doing housework, I thought Maricel, my new maid wouldn't be too far off. But I was VERY wrong. Yesterday afternoon, after I bath Laetitia, I left the tub of water in the toilet, thinking that she will clear it when she sees it. This morning, the tub of water was still there! She didn't pour it away, she thought I wanted to keep the water!

There is more. I have a more 'sophisticated-looking' trash bin in the study room filled with nothing but discarded letters and bills. She didn't know that it is actually a rubbish bin. She cleared all the rubbish bins in the house but left that one untouched. When I told her that the content in the bin were rubbish and she has to clear them just like any other rubbish bins, she seemed bewildered.

Then I asked her to warm up the chilled milk in the food warmer, she stared at the steam sterilizer for sterilizing Laetitia's bottles and asked if I meant putting the chilled milk inside the sterilizer to warm. I almost fainted!

I have to practically demonstrate ALL the appliances for her to see, telling her verbally has proven to be somewhat insufficient.

OK, maybe I should look at the brighter side of things and focus on her good points, like.... She is soft-spoken, hence she should be unlikely to argue with me or my MIL. Her house don't have a telephone, which means she will not be talking on the phone so frequently, unlike Karein who had more calls than I do! She don't ask me for expensive household cleaners and gloves like Karein nor will she asks to switch TV channels for programs that she wanted to watch. She is the more "dai" type. Better lah, less scheming and manipulative, I hope.

Most importantly, Laetitia seems to be able to accept her quite readily. Just wish me luck with this maid lah.

*********************

.

I just learnt from the maid agency that MOM had revised the FDW law. Now, even when your maid quit on you and wanted to go back, you also need to pay for her air-ticket, even though her contract is terminated prematurely by her, not you.

.

.

If you think you can threaten your maid like what was shown in the TV, saying things like, "I send you back then you know hor!" Think again. Now the maid can just fly into Singapore and treat the job like a vacation. A vacation with free food and lodging! Anytime, she is fed up of working for you, she takes the next flight home and you are paying for that ticket! Don't expect her to be begging like seen from the TV, "No Mdm, please don't send me back. I am sorry, Mdm." She would mostly likely says, "Go back, go back lor. You think I like to work here meh!"

.

Just WTF was MOM thinking when it lays down this law!!??

.

Mr Government, before you want us to get the birth rate up, you better fix this first!

Bliss

This is my idea of bliss - A quiet evening, chilling out at home with the 2 persons that I love most in my life!

What's yours?
