Missing For A While

I'm sorry I've been missing from the blogging world for quite some time. Well, life has pretty hectic since I got back from The States. Putting aside the mountain of clothes that needed to be washed and a house which desperately needs cleaning, I still need to take care of Shern. And with my aunt being sick, I have to take care of Shern 24/7, which also means bringing him wherever I go.

Let me tell you this, being a full-time mother and housewife is not as glamorous as it sounds. Well, tell me which glamorous job needs to clean poo and has saliva soaking my top all the time?
The only thing that kept me sane was to make cards (yes, my card-making hobby is still going strong!). I make cards when Shern naps. So how many cards I make depends on how long Shern naps.

Making cards is not like baking cake. I usually bake cakes when Shern sleeps at night (midnight bakes, remember?). And I also blog at night. But nowadays I am so tired I sleep when Shern sleeps. This explains why there is no cakes not any blog posts from me. Baking cakes needs at least 1-2 hours. You can't attend to a wailing toddler and let the cake sits in the oven a little longer. You will end up with a burnt cake.

Making cards is less time-consuming. I can make a card in less than an hour. And I can stop anytime and continue from there. So this is why I make more cards than bake cakes these few weeks.

But I am definitely going to bake a cake this week. I miss baking. Hubby is out of state for a few days and I am missing him already. Taking care of Shern alone in the house is not that fun. I become his sole playmate and he goes all sticky to me til I can't breathe.

Hubby, come back faster!!!

I Am Back From The States!

Yes, peeps...I am back. I am finally back!
Phew....it was an awesome trip this time but it really does feel good to be back. Nothing beats home sweet home. And nothing beats seeing my baby. ;)

However, my hands are really full now. I've to take care of Shern with my jetlag and I've to unpack my luggage and wash a mountain of clothes. And I've to clean the dirty house.

So for now, no time to blog. No time to upload photos. I am finding time to breathe after I am back. So 'til then.

Off We Go

Berkshire Hathaway AGM Credentials

Received these credentials early this month. Yes, hubby & I will be joining the 40,000 odd crowd at the Berkshire Hathaway AGM in Omaha this year. (those who have not heard of it, please google Warren Buffett :P)

We planned this trip almost a year in advance, securing cheaper flight tickets, cheaper hotel room rates and etc. Even making babies plan need to wait, because this comes first for now. *winks*

After the AGM weekend, we will be doing a 10-day tour in West California. So we will be gone for about 2 weeks plus. And we will be missing Shern to bits.

Am I excited? Yes, surprisingly, I am excited to see Warren Buffett in real person.
But I am dreading the 36-hour flight there all the way from Penang to Omaha. I need many, many air sick pills to last me there in one-piece.

No, I will not be bringing my laptop there. So don't miss me.
'Til then.

Shern Naming the Animals

Now I no more worry about Shern's speech development . Yes, he is really a late-talker. He calls 'Mami' and 'Dadi' only at 2o-months-old. But I can see that he is learning new words every day.

For now, he can recognize and say duck, pig, frog, star fish, horse, ter-ter (turtle), chick, fish, bu'fly (butterfly), rabbit, and many more. :)

Below is a short video clip of him knowing his Animals. He is able to tell me the names of the animals with me pointing at them. His words are not so accurate yet, but as his mummy, I can understand him. I am not sure if you all can, though! *winks*

p/s - it took me more than 3 hours to upload this 3 min video clip. Streamyx....Arghhhh!

Praying

I haven't prayed so fervently before as I do now, but now there is nothing I can really do but just to pray. I pray for your health and safety, and for you to be strong.

I love you.
And we'll be with you.

The Little Gangster

22 October 2009

I was looking through my photo folders and I saw this photo. Shern was nearly 5 month old at that time. Wah....look at his chubby legs and hands. Results of only breastmilk in his stomach. Haha.

The expression on his face is so...so...so...'gangster'.
He seems to be saying 'Don't play-play....you want to fight is it?' :)

10 Cards and a Happy Girl

Yay, I've finished 10 cards in 10 days' time. So proud of myself. *beam*

These are the cards I made:

You Make Me Smile card & Thank You(b) card


Happy Day card & Thank You(a) card


I Love U card


May Your Hearts be Forever Joined In Love card

It's A Girl card

Many people ask me what am I going to do with all these cards? Am I going to give it to my family and friends? Well, for now, they are sitting inside a beautiful box, with me taking them out to admire every once in a while. Haha.

See who is the lucky one to receive a handmade card from me! ;P

p/s - And oohh....baking is taking a backseat for now while I'm entering a card-making fever phase. :)
