Finally got around to get my crowning done. After all, I can only have the band around the affected molar for so long. Either the band will come loose eventually, or the food stuck in there will give me one heck of an infection, or worse still, bad breath.<br /><br />Plus, I've got my tax return, and fortunately, that covers the cost. That is, with this dentist of mine. Remember <a href="http://sweetpeamy.blogspot.com/2009/01/i-am-tagged.html">this</a> post? I know. That was a while back. I waited THAT long. I did my root canal with another dentist, very unfaithful of me, but mine wasn't around when agonizing pain struck me. Probably a lot more money too. I knew I was a 'waterfish' when I saw the chief receptionist of this other dentist, a.k.a. his wife, donning large diamond rings on her fingers.<br /><br />But dental pain is not something you would want to wait, or suffer in silence. Or rather, you really can't be silent about it. And it usually arrives at the most inconvenient times, e.g. late nights, when all dental clinics or pharmacies are closed, weekends, long weekends, holidays. You get what I mean.<br /><br />So, I will be a good girl, and spend the money willingly. Two more weeks to a brand new molar.Sweetpeahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17417135885315635439noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21186549.post-62101785435656264142009-08-20T14:13:00.002+10:002009-08-20T14:23:58.996+10:00Daydreaming of Panama BeachAs I slave over the house chores and cooking, stirring the beef rendang, I am visualizing the soft, sandy beach, and cool breeze blowing on my kaftan, and me, holding a glass of crouschen and riesling on my right hand.<br /><br />Mmm..... that could happen you know.

Now? Thomas and friends and Hot Wheels strewn around the carpet and lounge room. When he got tired of the floor, he would then dig out the colour pencils or pens to do some drawing, and halfway doing that, perhaps fold a paper aeroplane or two.<br /><br />Then he would decide he wanted to play with his Lego set, and stormed into his room. All over the floor in his room, are tiny pieces of Lego, and the old Transformer autobots passed down to him from almost twenty years back, an old collection of my youngest brother-in-law.<br /><br />Wait! Oh, then he would change his mind and wanted to play with the golf set.<br /><br />And I sigh in resignation.Sweetpeahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17417135885315635439noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21186549.post-79585175400368408692009-08-11T00:50:00.002+10:002009-08-11T00:57:30.824+10:00Hubby's brithday presentI know in Asian culture, for the Chinese that is, it is a taboo to give shoes as a present. But I thought it is practical and nice too, since it is time for him to get a new pair anyway.<br /><br />He has gone through many pairs of shoes. Merrell, Skechers, Clarks, Timberland, but have yet to try the brand <a href="http://www.shoe-store.net/">Dansko</a>. I have read some good reviews about it and think I should get him a pair. Also to get him be the guinea pig. If it turns out to be durable and comfortable, I would probably get a pair for myself too, for work. Being on my feet for six hours a night for work, it has to be of those two qualities.<br /><br />Got cheaper ones before, but lasted only a few months. Now I do believe in what we pay is what we get.Sweetpeahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17417135885315635439noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21186549.post-38701704314534273742009-08-11T00:34:00.002+10:002009-08-11T00:50:46.909+10:00I have been lazyI know.<br /><br />It's a wonder if anyone would even check in on me anymore. And for all I know, I think I have even forgotten my username and password for my Wordpress blog. Lazy to the gym too. Only once since I got back from Malaysia, and that was in July.<br /><br />Anyway, the highlight topic since the last, was last Sunday, when the three of us went to Chaddy to buy a bicycle in Toys'R'Us. Halfway looking Aidan said he wanted to go pee. As I needed the toilet too, I went with him, leaving Daddy looking. We had to cross the food court to get to the toilet on the other side.<br /><br />Once we were there, I took Aidan to the ladies' toilet (obviously) and guided him to the last cubicle. Told him to wait for me just outside when he had finished. I went into the cubicle next to him. On normal days I would've waited, or kept talking to him, but that Sunday, there was a crowd. So we had to be quick. Imagine my horror when I peaked into his locked cubicle when I have finished my business, to find a handbag lying on the floor, e.g. it wasn't him in there!<br /><br />He was no where around the toilet area, and not bothering to wash my hands, I rushed outside, and couldn't find him either. Panicked as I was, I quickly called hubby to tell him that I lost our son, but I have a feeling he was heading back to Toys'R'Us. For one thing I know, he knows his way back to Toys'R'Us. I just prayed he really walked straight to that place.<br /><br />I ran with my heart in my throat, through the crowd, and was so relieved to find him there beside his dad, who was right at the entrance. Gave him a tongue-lash I did, but apparently he wasn't fazed and didn't know what the fuss was all about.<br /><br />In theory, being the laid back person as he is, he must have been trying to take off his pants when a lady pushed the unlocked door to see if anyone was in there, and he came out to let her in. Not seeing me around, he walked out and while searching for me, he also headed back to where Daddy was. What made him think I would have left without him!!<br /><br />After all the drama, I asked if he has pee-ed, he said no. And we had to go back to the toilet again. This time, with me in the same cubicle.<br /><br />When will this boy learn?Sweetpeahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17417135885315635439noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21186549.post-59950896198312468842009-07-29T00:00:00.003+10:002009-07-29T00:00:05.701+10:00Horsey inquiryWorking in a retail pharmacy, you'd think I have seen all types of customers coming through the door after all these years.<br /><br />We have people coming in for scripts, vitamins, skin care, perfumes, last minute gifts, even passport photos, and funnily enough, detergent powder and toilet papers. Every now and then, we get scripts for even pets. An eye drop for the dog, lotion or cream for the cat, or even a syringe to feed water to the little bird someone rescued from the tree. But imagine my surprise when someone came in to ask for <a href="http://www.jeffersequine.com/">horse supplements</a>!<br /><br />Surely, when someone owns a horse, or has anything to do with a horse, will know where to get these specialty supplements?<br /><br />Tell me it has nothing to do with the moon again.Sweetpeahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17417135885315635439noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21186549.post-63963751206380556022009-07-28T23:44:00.002+10:002009-07-28T23:49:28.605+10:00Saman balikHubby gave me a funny look when I got two infringements in a month.<br /><br />The funny thing is, he copped the notice because I drove the car which is under his name. So, being a nice and responsible lady like I am, I nominated myself so I could pay for the fine and that the demerit points go under my name. There went my pair of Nine West shoes.<br /><br />Today, I copped a notice. And it was he who was driving the car under my name. And being a fair and responsible man he is, he nominated himself and did the same thing.<br /><br />Thing is, I paid twice and the fine was more hefty than his. But our offences are different, so he got 3 demerit points, where I got 2 in total for both times.<br /><br />Which is more 'jeok sou', you tell me.Sweetpeahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17417135885315635439noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21186549.post-22524639123107199392009-07-27T00:44:00.002+10:002009-07-27T00:54:05.867+10:00Diet Pill ReviewsA friend of mine came over from Fiji for a holiday. She asked if I have heard of Hydroxycut, where it is currently the 'in' thing for bodybuilders and also slimming over there.<br /><br />I told her that I've never heard of it, but it could possibly be one of those health food store things. I asked her what is the benefit of it, and she said she heard that it burns fat much faster than other products. Naturally, being a loony myself as a wannabe for slimming all time, I checked the product out online.<br /><br />Luckily for me, there were plenty of <a href="http://www.slimmingpillsreview.com/">diet pill reviews</a> and the overall recommendation for it was not that good. Good thing I found this out and not blindly following another fad, which could have cost my liver big time.<br /><br />I guess there is not lazy way out.Sweetpeahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17417135885315635439noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21186549.post-90906162162097715712009-07-27T00:32:00.002+10:002009-07-27T00:41:38.898+10:00Master MischiefWe had a parent-teacher interview last week. That was for every student in the class. Each parent had fifteen minutes with the class teacher to talk about his or her child's progress for the past two terms.<br /><br />Usually, Aidan is not very 'keen' on these meeting. I don't know why. It was not that we reprimanded him for anything, in fact, it was quite the opposite. Every little detail that he has improved on, we encouraged and praised.<br /><br />Last Thursday, he was particularly distressed. He wanted to go home right away, and didn't 'allow' me to see his class teacher. Obviously, he wasn't getting his way. When I met the teacher, he planted his head on my back and stayed that way throughout. I told the teacher his behaviour, and she actually told me she knew what might have made that happened.<br /><br />They have five computers in the classroom. What Aidan did was he deleted all his friends' names in the computer and typed his name in each of them. Hahahahaa..... that was cheeky of him. And he knew he was wrong, that was the funny part. Of course, the teacher had to be firm and said no, and probably that was why he was not happy for me to see her. He may have thought that the teacher was telling on him.<br /><br />My boy, being cheeky.

He has improved so much under their care, both intellectually and physically. Yet I can't bring myself to agree on the really old desks they have in some of the classes. With an extra injection of funds which the school got recently, I am hoping they will spend some money on new ones.<br /><br />Perhaps I can suggest a website where they sell <a href="http://www.hertzfurniture.com/Classroom--4--r.html">discount classroom furniture</a>. Hmm.. then they might just change those chairs in the library as well. That will be nice.<br /><br />Aahhh... what a brilliant idea!

I don't see a point in continuing any payment while I am here in another country. The surrender value was little, but expected. Still, at least I get some of my money back.<br /><br />And with that money, I am thinking to get a new insurance scheme here. Better get it here where I belong now. It's funny now how we can go insurance shopping. For people, cars, house, contents, even individual parts of the body for the famous people. As for me, the <a href="http://www.wholesaleinsurance.net/">best term life insurance rates</a> will do just fine.Sweetpeahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17417135885315635439noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21186549.post-3583200854417309442009-07-14T23:06:00.002+10:002009-07-14T23:17:02.793+10:00Locked outI think I have been cleaning up too much. I even cleaned my brain.<br /><br />This morning after sending Aidan to school, I came back home for a while, and then headed off to the city for my eye check-up, post Lasik. I have reached 20-20 vision, but unfortunately, as they have already told me before the surgery, they can't fix 'lou far'. Nevertheless, I am glad I do not have to use those blek eye drops again. Yucks.<br /><br />I went grocery shopping to make Bak kut teh for dinner, and headed home to do more cleaning. Cooking, cleaning, washing, and by the time I sat down, it was already 3pm. Time to pick Aidan up from school. Left the house, picked him up, went to another grocer to get some fresh chillies. Then I remembered I didn't turn off the gas when I left home, although I left my Bak kut teh simmering. Oh well, I thought, going home anyway.<br /><br />That was when I found out I didn't have my house key with me. Cut the long story short, had to call hubby to the rescue, and prayed he could be as fast as possible, not because Aidan and myself was stranded at our backyard, but I can smell my Bak kut teh already.<br /><br />In the end, the liquid was just about to dry up. Nasib baik didn't burn out. Phew.<br /><br />Hubby shook his head at me. Why? Because I left my purse outside.<br /><br />I need more sleep.Sweetpeahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17417135885315635439noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21186549.post-5413184391439090512009-07-09T00:49:00.002+10:002009-07-09T01:10:03.148+10:00Ouch!Now that Aidan knows how to ride a bicycle, I brought him on a very easy trail, and told him to watch out for cars.<br /><br />One car came along, and I told him to watch out. Him being him, went too fast and straight up the kerb, stopped. Back facing me. Silence. I was already halfway running towards him.<br /><br />I looked at him and his eyes were all squinty, with tears. I asked him if he was alright, he just cried and buried his face into my jacket.<br /><br /><span style="font-style: italic; font-weight: bold; color: rgb(255, 102, 102);">Did you hurt yourself?</span><br /><br />Nodded.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic; color: rgb(255, 102, 102);">Where?</span><br /><br />Touched his groin.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic; color: rgb(51, 102, 255);">I hurt my testicles. </span><br /><br />Ooooo.... ouch.

All living under my roof of a tiny two rooms unit. That will be fun. We have done this before when I was about to deliver my little one, but am sure it will be more fun this time with three kids tripping around stuff in the house.<br /><br />I can't believe they booked a flight which arrives near midnight though, therefore we won't be able to pick them up, because I will be still at work, and it will be cruel to drag my son out of his bed to the airport.<br /><br />Lucky thing, another niece of mine has rented a large car from the airport, from a company which has plenty of <a href="http://www.thesource.ca/estore/category.aspx?language=en-CA&catalog=Online&category=GPS+Systems&pagenum=1&sort=1">gps systems</a> for hire as well.

We spotted a Spider, some Skylines, other Porsches and a few Ferraris. Gee, some people sure have lots of money! Even if I was given a Ferrari, I don't think I can even earn enough to buy <a href="http://www.ricambiamerica.com/">Ferrari parts</a> if it needs fixing.<br /><br />Aahhh.... how wonderful to be rich.

Wilkin took the trainer wheels off a couple of months back and Aidan had been scooting around the backyard ever since, but there was never enough space for him to actually ride the bike, although we did notice that he could actually balance quite well for a short distance.<br /><br />This morning, we took him to his school compound for him to have more space to learn. Imagine my utter surprise, or rather, OUR surprise, when Wilkin and I watched him cycled off with ease, as if he had been riding that way for ages! Hubby immediately whipped out his mobile and filmed it.<br /><br />Woohooooo!!Sweetpeahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17417135885315635439noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21186549.post-12420517262359019212009-06-28T17:07:00.002+10:002009-06-28T17:39:30.595+10:00Not a bad vacationOur trip to the local resort last week was okay. Just okay, let's just say it was good for its money's worth. Cheap, very basic, and service was nothing to shout about, apart from the friendly staff at the restaurant. The highlight of our trip was a very hungry monkey which climbed onto our table and snatched my sister-in-law's toast from her hand. Fortunately, it was the great company and ultimate relaxation that counts.<br /><br />At the same time, I have another friend who was taking her holidays at the <a href="http://www.i4vegas.com/Hotels/Riviera_Hotel_Casino.html">Riviera hotel</a> and Casino. Needless to say, she had the time of her life. I guess I had better save up again, and hopefully be able to go to the same place as hers next year.

She is also just getting over the family culture shock. Her family is so quiet, where as mine is boisterous as, not forgetting the colourful profanities that comes out from the adults, minus myself and my nieces.<br /><br />As for my little one, welcome back to second home. The mozzies are most delighted to see him again, with many welcome bites on his legs and one on his hand. So far. And this is KL. Let's just hope Ipoh stays the same way, if not better. Which I doubt. I am already dreading for his face. Somehow the mozzies there like his face better.<br /><br />I don't think Aidan is liking the idea that we are leaving tomorrow. He had so much fun with his nieces. But we have things to do, and school holidays are over as of tonight.<br /><br />Let's just hope Pangkor trip will perk him up.

Itchy and painful! Then I thought of the reason it was planted there by the many previous owners. So strangers won't walk up to the window and peek at us? And that was why I let it survive.<br /><br />For the six years we have lived here, it was just 'the plant'. But last month something happened. A long stem grew straight a tall. Then it branched out budding like this:<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi6WpPHCHmd7LDAFiAorXJ4KMcwJf5s-MU4mrMbTTu8DrEYdjr_J_gUtO0paR_MY1ghSKDY2k_dGqwkM_D17u8yqHog0Mim1GQ7dLuKqGf3UUbNXmqWpXJA4nQ6oJp7WrDFWS1GcA/s1600-h/Picture+001.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi6WpPHCHmd7LDAFiAorXJ4KMcwJf5s-MU4mrMbTTu8DrEYdjr_J_gUtO0paR_MY1ghSKDY2k_dGqwkM_D17u8yqHog0Mim1GQ7dLuKqGf3UUbNXmqWpXJA4nQ6oJp7WrDFWS1GcA/s320/Picture+001.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5344979006041923010" border="0" /></a><br /><br />Then came the pretty white flowers:<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgZrhzIW__jy3etoCUVBzKZ1MXeSS4vJxI1fx4dckHS_g5zzj3xKvgruqm5mr-V35klkCRgsbjfX3mU7uE7zi_0pmusequi30UptJrUoXuKfK3BNBXvZJLCjOhEI7HsXx3MoAIvRQ/s1600-h/Picture+003.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgZrhzIW__jy3etoCUVBzKZ1MXeSS4vJxI1fx4dckHS_g5zzj3xKvgruqm5mr-V35klkCRgsbjfX3mU7uE7zi_0pmusequi30UptJrUoXuKfK3BNBXvZJLCjOhEI7HsXx3MoAIvRQ/s320/Picture+003.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5344979005507684610" border="0" /></a><br /><br />And now the full bloom!<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhQCbEAiWOYBLhnuT8SmCYz8MRhNJrctIcE8XTbxUd1vU59lOzGKStGdGy8vgNF8kGEc92SOLUfteeOtxZDMdUqODJT1Pk6Zm9ceuhCDbIrHauPd2vUZx34_DAvFjnZELg3xbfm3A/s1600-h/Picture+085.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhQCbEAiWOYBLhnuT8SmCYz8MRhNJrctIcE8XTbxUd1vU59lOzGKStGdGy8vgNF8kGEc92SOLUfteeOtxZDMdUqODJT1Pk6Zm9ceuhCDbIrHauPd2vUZx34_DAvFjnZELg3xbfm3A/s320/Picture+085.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5344979009557355538" border="0" /></a><br /><br />It has been like this for almost two weeks now. I wonder how long before the flowers wilt. But this is lovely. I hope it will last longer, because we may not be seeing another one till six years later.Sweetpeahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17417135885315635439noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21186549.post-72978017808993845372009-06-09T01:15:00.002+10:002009-06-09T01:24:00.683+10:00Our water, our futureA friend from Noosa stayed with another friend of ours in Melbourne over the weekend. Not consciously realizing that Melbourne is facing the on-going water shortage problem, she had the taps on full blast for washing the dishes and showering the kids.<br /><br />And since our Melbourne friend have quite a lot of guests coming and going, I suggested that it would be a good idea to switch her <a href="http://www.faucet.com/decor/search.pl?N=103+214+55+3000169">shower faucet</a> in the guest bathroom to a water-saving one. Not only will that save her on her water bill, but it is very important that all of us do our part in keeping the reservoirs 'healthy'.<br /><br />And as I will be away for almost a month, that will be helping out a lot, no?Sweetpeahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17417135885315635439noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21186549.post-51512286578763264412009-06-09T00:53:00.002+10:002009-06-09T01:15:26.562+10:00One more sleep - tonightTomorrow night, same time, we're outta here!<br /><br />Excited again, yet a little apprehensive about the swine flu cases all around the world. Am not TOO concerned, as I am all ready. The masks, the Tamiflu tablets, the anti-bacterial handgel, I've got it all, but probably I am more concerned for Aidan than anything else.<br /><br />Then again, I am letting loose! It's holiday! No cooking, no washing, well, there is washing, but minimal, no appointments to keep. Am sure hubby feels the same way. I just heard him confessed earlier this afternoon, that the best things about being alone is that he doesn't have to wash the dishes (not until he can't find anything else to use) and that he can fart under the doona happily.<br /><br />Hhmmm.....Sweetpeahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17417135885315635439noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21186549.post-90133833854606003382009-06-06T00:42:00.003+10:002009-06-09T00:52:48.215+10:00Researching for custom softwareAs it is holiday time for me and my boy, my husband will have more time to concentrate on what he should be doing for the past few weeks.<br /><br />The company he works for is expanding, therefore he was going to look for some <a href="http://www.konverge.com/Custom_Software_Solutions.aspx">custom software</a> solution to get the business running smoothly. If this happens, it means that a lot of thing can be done much quicker without the manual processes, and by that, it means he doesn't have to monitor everything, saves time, and ultimately, be home earlier from work.<br /><br />Now, wouldn't that be perfect, for him to help out with some cooking and washing up.Sweetpeahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17417135885315635439noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21186549.post-37627237843110166182009-06-02T23:21:00.003+10:002009-06-06T00:41:23.209+10:00Missing and backAnd missing soon again.<br /><br />Sudah hilang passion lar. If not for mata duitan, I probably wouldn't have updated my posts right now. Bukan banyak, but every little drop can create a small pool, eh?<br /><br />What you have been missing:<br /><br />Aidan lost his second tooth. I was determined to keep this one, but unfortunately it has found its way into his tummy along with some garlic bread. I have no luck with his teeth. Neither does Tooth Fairy.<br /><br />He called me stupid. He wanted me to fix up the PS2 games for him, and I was too lazy to do it, (and not wanting him to play that long) so I said I didn't know how, and to wait for Daddy to come home. He was annoyed and mumbled 'Stupid'. Smacked his bum and sent him to his room. The words they learn from school. Sighh.... and bracing for more when he gets older.Sweetpeahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17417135885315635439noreply@blogger.com0
