Year End Sale

We're having a clearance sale and the Diaper Bags are going at an unbelievable 35% discount. Yes, we're indeed very generous...haha.. (and yeah, we hope to bring new stocks since we already know which ones are a hit here)
Ends this year(2008)

It's the holidays and I don't have time to blog. How am I feeling now a week later? A little better now that I'm seeing Izzul getting along pretty fine. Keeping myself busy with Ez's family. I have really been unfair to my hubby who is trying so hard to make things fine for me. I was so upset about my parents gone for the months that I didn't mention anything about him suprising me with a bouquet of roses and a cute black cat with hearts all over it. It was our anniversary a day before my parents flew off. I came home and my mum told me that I got a present from someone. I totally forgot it was our anniversary. So sweet of him. Last year, I didn't get him anything because I was in my confinement. This year, a week before the day, I wanted to get him something he has always wanted but I can't surprise him coz it is a little too expensive so I had to seek permission from him. So now, he said, that can wait. I really should do something for him right? Pre-Izzul days, I love making things for him. Cards, Picture frames... he still have them from way back in 2002 up on his wall in his room at his mom's place. Sure bring back memories.
Oh and he still has this test tube with jelly in them and there's macaroni letters spelled his name stuck in it. Olin, you might remember this one. I did this in your hostel room. Hehe...
Actually i wanted to blog about how me and my son got stomach flu the last few days. Vomitting and diarrhoea - really bad. It was really terrible. But then, my blog needs lightening up.

Away to Mekka

I know they are gone for a good cause. But I just can't help myself. My tears were streaming like tap water. I didn't want to talk to anyone or I will just breakdown. But what is it that makes me so sad? Well, for one, they have always been there for me. I mean, they never go off for holidays just on their own because my father don't like the idea. Or go anywhere out of Singapore for anything longer than 2 days. He likes to go off for a holiday as a family. SO for the last 26 years, they have been there always. As for me,I have never travelled far enough- long enough. So, they are always within reach. Now that I've moved out, they are just a traffic light away.
And my mum is like my helpline. Trouble in the kitchen, household matters or with Izzul, I just dial her number. She's always at home.
And if I'm not schooling or have free day, Izzul and me will laze around till noon before making plans with my mum to go shopping.
The problem with me is that I treat her more than a mum. To me, she is a friend that I hang with. As sad as that sounds, that is me. I love spending time with her. Especially at 4pm when we have our teatimes. It's girls talk.
And Izzul........ how he must feel... Seeing him hug my mum and dad, I can see how much he will miss them.
Ok, i gotta go before i start streaming again.

Little hands and feet

Had my first check up earlier this morning. I went alone because Ez had to work and my parents are waiting for relatives from Melaka to arrive. It was just me and the Doc. It was a different scene from the first time I went to scan Izzul. It was a big event for everyone then.
Anyway, I decided to take up a different gynae this time around. At first, I had my reservations and was ready to jump back to my safe ol gynae but fortunately, this Doc is great. Nice and friendly.
He did ultrasound scan for me and there he/she is. So adorable!!! He/She is kicking around so actively and almost jumping. With cute little hands and feet all formed. Alhamdulillah, weight and everything else is well.
Looking at the baby, I have a hunch about the gender ;)

Slacker Mum

I really have been slacking for the last week. My intentions to finish holidays assignments before my parents leaving for pilgrimage seems to be mere future plans. And hit by stuffy nose and sudden rashes around neck and chin area, all I want to do is sleep and eat.
It is sad how days go by without me doing anything productive. Before I know it, school holidays will be over.
News about pay cut for the ministers are splattered all across the news. But looking at the pay that they are getting anyway, they better not be fussy about it.
Civil servants receive a 2 mths bonus compared to 3 mths last year. I'm not complaining. I had worse year-end news.
Anyway, what is the latest with Izzul and IBG? It is getting harder day by day to make him sit and flash him the reading cards. He has an attention span of a fly. Sigh, just when we thought he was making progress. But I was told to be patient and persevere. He'll come around again. Well, I certainly hope so. Chasing him around the house is more fun for him than me.
IBG is at a crossroad. Our next project we intend to name it after our second. The problem is we don't have a name yet and worse still, it will be a few months more before we know it's a he or a she!
Let's just pray this one decides to show early.
Btw, I receive a couple of enquiries on whether our Baby Kaed will be having promotion for the other bags. Indeed we are - for the month of Dec. Look out for that!
