New Luv~!!

i am finally back for work after my 2-month long maternity leave…

i thought i would feel glad to be back at work, u know….be the all-rounder-mum: have a wonderful husband, have the most adorable baby boy, have a great career, great frens and colleagues, go to church and all….

but i never realised how much i can miss my son the second i turn my back to him after kissing him to leave for work…i felt i could leave everything else behind just to spend every moment with my lil dylan boy…sigh….

i miss his lil coo-ing sounds that he makes when i play with him..
i miss his lil fists flying all, his legs kicking non stop when he gets happy and over-excited….

i miss his cheeky lil smile when he thinks we have given up trying to make him finish his milk…

i miss the way he tries to find the right spot on my shoulder to sleep on when i carry him….

i miss the smell he leaves on my clothes after i carry him…

i miss the way he would grasp on to my shirt when i try to put him down to sleep on his cot…

i miss the sound of him smacking his lips when he sees me….

i miss the way he tries to stick out his toungue when he sees his dad (ooi taught him to do so)…

i miss the way his head feels against my cheeks when i am carrying him on my shoulder….

is this normal..to miss someone so much….to be thinking non-stop of the little moments we share together…or is this just a post-maternity leave kind of hype…

is it possible to feel this much of love for such a tiny being tat i have just known…hahaha…

i truly have never felt so much love bloom out of me..its as if my spirit is so overflown with too much of love…ahhh…i love my baby boy too much…i love my ooi so much too for loving dylan so much…..

The two most important men in my life now

I Love You

He never stopped loving me, you know… Despite my horrendous temper..He never stopped loving me…He never distanced himself from me… There are times when I thought I was not good enough for Him…but He would always be there to tell me how much I mean to Him and that He would give me his everything just so that I may be able to be with him forever… Even though I know He loves me, I would sometimes go on for days..and even weeks…not talking to Him, not thinking of Him…I know how much it must really hurt him, for me to be so uncaring after all that he has done for me…and yet, I still do it…After all, He has always helped me out during all my difficult times and would always provide me words of comfort, words of wisdom, and words of assurance and ways to get me out of the troubles I have…and yet, I sometimes don’t even bother to say thank you to Him…but yet, whenever I need help He will always be there… He’s my solid rock…

Actions speak louder than words…His actions definitely spoke louder than words…He loved me way before I even knew him…He also loves me in a way no one else does…He loves my imperfection…it is in my imperfections, where he makes me feel whole again…Yet, sometimes I feel ashamed of Him being a part of my life…but yet, he has never blamed me for being such a coward…instead, he just stood by me from a distance,..giving me the space I need and yet, still be near me and always protecting me …never intrusive…but just supportive..waiting for me to come back to him and to run back into His warm embrace…

Today, I am writing this letter of apology to Him here…I’m so sorry that I have taken your love for granted…I am so sorry for being so selfish, thinking of myself only…I am so sorry for being so insensitive…I am so sorry for being so worldly….always worried what others may think instead…so silly of me…
I know that I will most likely repeat the things above to you again soon…but this time, I hope it doesn’t take this long for me to realize how amazing your mercy and love is…how precious it is to me…and that I really should hold on to your love so close to me….and that I shouldn’t let it slip away from me..not even for a second…Father God, I pray that you will forgive me of my sins and transgressions…and that I learn not to worry what others think of me and You but rather concentrate on how I can get to know you more…how I can be closer to you…Father God, you are my all.. You make me who I am today..you gave me all that I have today…without you, I am and have nothing….From the bottom of my heart and in from my mind, Father God , let me say I love you…I love you Father God, forever and ever. Amen

Yummy places… :)

Another “YAY” for all you food lovers out there…

i promised to put in more pics on my food journey..so here it is..

ok…for those of you who are not from KL..but have been down here in KL to do some cheap shopping, you definitely would have gone to the famous Sg. Wang Plaza…ok….now…i dunno how many of you here have discovered this cute little place tat i m gonna be writing abt here..but if u have been there..GOOD for you!! if not, you definitely should drop by this place…they have a lot of set meals..comes with an iced lemon tea, a main dish, then dessert..and then coffee or tea…now…it is the dessert that u DEFINITELY MUST (extra emphasis here) TRY!!! which is their chocolate banana cake with vanilla ice-cream..(**saliva drooling here**)..the name of this little eatery is kinda cute too..doesnt match the place though…haha…but it doesnt matter…anyway, before i go out of topic…this little place is called the WEST 57th ST. CAFE…and its hidden inside the Plaza…just outside the Malaysian Designers shops..

Sharon tried the Spicy Chicken pasta..sounds wierd but it tastes pretty alrite ..i had some mushroom thingy with rice…the little salad they have at the side of each dish has a very tangy, fresh kind of taste that can be addictive..hhehe…but again, pls remember to have the yummylicious banana chocolate cake..yummsss…

Following that…3 weeks ago, Ooi and i decided to have breakfast at Coffee Bean after some work stuff he had to do…we went over to KLCC and …wa…they have BREAKFAST SETS!!! haha…ok ok ..i know..so wat if they have breakfast sets…but i love breakfast sets…especially those english-style kind of breakfast set…haha..i had the salmon scramble breakfast set..ooi ..hmm..i cant remember wat the name of the set he ordered..but hell, it looked good…and our food really tastes as good as it looks…haha..so ppl…Head over to coffee bean..i think its an all-day breakfast set thing…hahaha…so u dun have to worry abt having to wake up early to order this…but if u order before 11 am, u get a refillable tea/ coffee…haha…anyway….2 THUMBS up and a HIP-HIP HOORAY JUMP for Coffee Bean’s yummylicious food…yummmmssssssss……..

Updates..updates!!!

Hi hi..it’s been a while now since I last blogged.. my life’s been a whirlwind recently…I was so emotionally and mentally drained from work basically… so much so that most days when I am back home, I just rush to have a quick shower and then plonk myself on my bed and slip into a temporary coma.

Anyway…wat prompted me to update my blog was becos I noticed in my little msg box down here tat my fren, sue anne, had dropped me a msg asking how I m and tat it’s been a while since I did any updates… after tat, I told myself I must take time out no matter wat to actually jot something abt my life..no matter how simple or boring it may be…after all, tat was the whole reason why I started this blog, rite…hehehe…

But there is also another reason why I decided to update my blog today…cos yesterday was my Birthday!!! hahaha…(the previous reason is used to disguise my real intention of updating this ^*^

last weekend, ooi decided to give me an early birthday present and treated me to a wonderful, fun-filled and yet, relaxing dinner at the Hard Rock Café in KL…we ate so much tat day…I had this yummy grilled salmon with pasta (a two-thumbs up!!) while ooi had a sirloin steak…it was so yummy-licios…it was so filling becos of the huge portions served…but we were both in such a care-free mode, tat we decided to push our stomachs and appetites one notch higher…we continued to order a Hot Fudge Brownie Sundae for dessert!!! Tat really, really was pushing the limits!!

To cut the long story short, we had so much fun…not only tat..when we reached home, ooi have me 2 more presents…2 books !!! haha..on pregnancy…this is really a man of faith, friends..becos I m not even pregnant yet and he is already proclaiming tat I am going to be soon and is even playing the role already!!! Hahaha…typical ooi….

But tat’s not the end of my bday celebration..becos last nite, me, ooi, Sharon and shie ping continued to celebrate my bday at Redbox karoke…!! It was so good…we sang, we ate, and then we sang again and again and again..hehe…and then when we dropped shie ping back home, ooi’s parents and shie siang were waiting and singing out aloud a birthday song..with a bright yellow birthday cake!! Hahaha….ah..it was all good…a nice yummy mango cake .. too beautiful to be eaten, if u reallee asked me..but it reallee did taste as good as it looked..

So there you go…my latest update…hehe..shall try to be back more often.. HuGgsss..

p/s: oh ya…and I wanna thank all those wonderful frens of mine for wishing me and texting bday wishes to me … realleee appreciate it…!! Love u guys all so much…MuakkkKKSSsss!

Smile…

The world always looks brighter from behind a smile

Wear a smile and have friends; wear a scowl and have wrinkles
George Eliot

Ever wondered why some people smile as if it is costing them their lives…haha…smiles have become such a rare commodity nowadays in our societies…ppl are becoming more and more stingy giving out their smiles to others…

a few days ago, ..i was nearly ran down by the despatch guy in my office when i was walking into a corner…naturally we laughed about how lucky we were not have physically bump into each other cos it would have definitely hurt at the speed we were both walking…as i turned to walk away after tat, he continued to call out to me and the next thing he said was, “you are always smiling, you know”…i was like “oh, is it..hehee” and later, just brushed the comment aside…

the past few weeks has been hectic and very tiring for me, particularly at work..and when i m not at work, i am at home cleaning up…moreover, last nite i had to meet up with a couple of my frens to meet up with our old fren (Khan) from Gippsland…i must admit i was kinda dreading the thought of going out on a Tuesday night, knowing that i will definitely be home late and also knowing tat i have to go to work the following day…however, i decided to bursh away those feelings and mustered up all my energy to put on my smiling face when i see my frens…and later when all my frens arrived, greeting me with their smiling faces, all those negative and tiring feelings disappeared in an instant…and before you know it, i was again the most animated, noisy person you have ever seen.. we all had such a great fellowship time together..no wonder i love hanging out with my frens most of the times…

so ppl…the next time you want to try a new look, perhaps try wearing a smile first..it’s a sure fool proof plan that will indeed get others to notice you and also to compliment you…for it is also true that i’ve never seen a smiling face that was not beautiful…and with that, i leave you a few pics of my favourite moments with some of the most beautiful people in my life…all smiling..my favourite pics are always those tat show a bit of teeth..haha..
