Oh yeah

Oh yeah…

I have finished uploading almost 3000 photos to the online photo album. I rock.

Oh yeah…

We would be going back to Kulim later today for some unfinished business. The husband rocks.

Oh yeah…

The princess would be so happy to be able to see the Mak Tok this coming weekend. She rocks!

Oh yeah…

I can’t wait to see our home. It rocks!

Oh yeah…

The ac, astro and hopefully streamyx would be installed next week. The husband rocks, big time!

I can’t wait for the dust to settle.

And moving here, well… it is not settled yet. It would not be too far away. But we’ll just have to wait and see how things move along, really

It is confirmed.

Haish I am not referring to me. No lah, mamafami, I am not pregnant. Not going to be while Tia is still in her rowdy phase, thank you just the same, heh.

I was, actually, referring to the husband. He would not be able to come home this weekend. So it means that we probably if we are lucky would be able to see him this coming weekend only.

I am not really sure how I feel about it. This would not be the first time that the husband had been away. He had been away last year for about a month when he had some things to take care of back in England. One whole month. Done. Though I must admit it was not easy.

Oh I know a lot of couples are doing this, this long distance marriage thingy. And I am sure absence does makes the heart goes fonder. But how do you answer to your little tot when she kept pestering for Daddy? She kept asking me to go with her to pick her Daddy up over at the airport. It could be heartbreaking, really.

My mom and step-dad were here for couple of nights. They left after Friday prayer, and then it was just me and her. Tia was such a trooper. She don’t even cry when her (very much missed) Mak Tok waved goodbye. She properly salam, give both maktok and tokwan kisses and hugs, then promptly greeted them with salaam and I love yous. She waved them goodbye, then went inside to watch Pocoyo.

And since the husband is not around, I had to go and do the weekly grocery and the round over at the local wet market. The husband would usually do this, but since he is not around, I had to make do. Thankfully my mom was around, so she mind Tia while I went out this morning. I went out not that early, around 9am, so I was kinda worried that I might not find what I wanted to get.

I forgotten the fact that our wet market over at Kulim is undergoing some major refurbishment, so the sellers were moved to another location just across the road. I had been there once, and had not want to go there again. So I decided to go to another wet market not five minutes away, at Kota Kenari. This is the place that the husband would go to get some fresh chicken and meat, and not to mention seafood and vegetables, too. The local pasar borong is located over there, actually.

But I did not go to the pasar borong. I went to few stores, conveniently located just along the road, to get whatever I needed. Having said that, I know that I could easily bring Tia along the next time that I needed to get anything over there. I mean, if Tesco or Giant is just ten to fifteen minutes away, I could easily do that. But our local Giant would be ready in about a year or so, so I have to make do with whatever handy, right?

Anyway, another matter I had to settle was about gas. I am not talking about gasoline, I am talking about gas to fuel the stovetop. Over in Malaysia, most people still uses this gas container, bought over at sundry shops. Usually, shop owners would send these tanks to your home, and they would take away the empty tank. But, I couldn’t find any stores that offer this service. That was so surprising. I couldn’t lug the empty gas container for it weigh a lot. I went home, and mom said that she would go to the store with bapak and send a new gas container home before leaving. Another thing settled. The husband did call and inform me that a store over at Jalan Junjung would send gas containers for you for a fee of RM2.00. OK, that is not bad. I would do that next time around.

Phew…. I knew that I take my husband for granted sometimes for what he did around the home and for us. My sister said that my husband spoilt me like he does Tia. Now I am really starting to feel that. But heck, not that I have to get a gas tank every month, eh?

I better stop before I started to feel sorry for myself heh…..

Hmpfff

There was a fried siakap underneath all those yummy vegetables, I swear! I know I should have not been greedy and top the siakap with all those goodness, but I just can’t help myself.

And no, those were not cooked recently. Quite awhile back. And I have not been very good about documenting dishes that I actually cooked these days.

Not that I actually cooked that much to begin with. Thankfully, the husband did not mind since it would be like walking into hot oven should I decided to cook in the very stuffy kitchen.

The only times that I would definitely be cooking was when mama and bapak’s here.

What to do eh…

I derailed too much. I actually wanted to talk about how pissy I get when I noticed that some photos that I uploaded to the photo album couple of years back were not there.

So loaded the sentence above. I checked on the recipe page that I made couple of years back, and some photos were not uploading. Upon checking on the album points me to my above point.

So the husband would have to do some tweaking here and there to see what went wrong. And since there’s almost 20,000 photos (I had) already uploaded there (from September 2005 to around January 2007), it would take awhile for the system to do whatever I needed to do to it.

Hmmm… I just needed to unload.

I’m so plastic

I’m a barbie girl, in a barbie world
Life in plastic, it’s fantastic!
you can brush my hair, undress me everywhere
Imagination, life is your creation
Come on Barbie, let’s go party!

Oh how I remembered that song, coming on air around the time I was in final year in school. Seemed like ages ago.
Oh well… I was chatting with the husband about the use of a Plastic Bag which we recycled to be a trash bag for Tia’s nappy. Then we would dunk those nappy-filled bags into the Black Plastic Bags aka Bin Bag, for the dusties to come and collect away.
Those black plastic bags sometimes do give way, so I have to always remind the husband not to pack too much in those bags. Don’t you face those problems at times?

And do you like collecting those Trade Show Bags with all the freebies like Post-it pads and Mouse Mats and stuff?. I find it odd that manufacturers or the sponsors do not give them out much nowadays at PC Trade Shows. I like to keep those because they would come in handy when Tia wanted to put her toys in when we go out driving.

And if those trade show bags are eco friendly like this one below, even better!
