Paper Princesses

Do you remember the paperdolls that kedai runcit used to sell when we were small? Yes, the cardboard dolls with beberapa set of outfits tu. I used to play with them and even bring them to school to play with my friends. I don't see them in the market anymore but a week ago I went to the bookstore with Audrene and we found two books of princess paperdolls - with the princes too! My little Audrene pun apa lagi..excited sampai nak tercabut her eyeballs from her tiny head and terus ambik le!

There are 2 of those books, 3 princesses in a book. Last week Audrene bought one and today she bought the other one. Here are some of the paperprincesses and their paperdresses. Aren't they so so SO CUTE?!





Ermmm... Audrene dah start main "kawin kawin" with these paperdolls... should I be alarmed? She's only FOUR!

Btw, as expected, I had a VERY TIRING day but am so glad that I completed ALL my tasks. I can sleep well tonight... weehee.. Besok pagi2 nak bangun pegi pasar. I plan to cook for my family as we have 2 celebrations overdue. Hehe you know how terrer I am in the kitchen right? I hope everything will turn out ok. Eheh.. am actually planning to grill je. Kalau tak lepas jugak, tak tahu lah. Hehehehe!

Owh this was taken just now at DSH while waiting for Baby Maira's turn. Maira's alright now (yippee!). She only needs to continue with her nose spray and inhaler for another 2 weeks. Dr said her lungs are all fine. Here are the girls with their "Mak" - my mom!



Ok, sleepyyyy sgt already.. Goodnite! Zzzzzzzzz..

I Rasa Pelik

...why do people choose to be rude and unpleasant when it is so much easier to be nice and polite? Don't they feel that being angry and awful consume more energy and raise more stress hence increasing their risk to get scary and deadly illnesses like cancer and heart attack?

Smiling on the other hand releases endorphins hence making the "smilers" feel happy and upbeat. Less energy consumed too when smiling thus can spare more energy on something more worthwhile like... err... buat cupcake? Also, I bet you'll sleep better at night if you smile more and frump less.

Muka pun lebih cantik and manis.

I am writing this because I seem to be interacting with more angry people lately. Usually I will grit my teeth and still speak to them nicely but this morning I lost my cool. Ada terkeluar sikit geram while answering a really rude remark. So now I can't sleep. Grrrrr!

I wish I am the type who can lose my temper gracefully and utter just the right sarcastic replies. Unfortunately I am not. Bila I marah, teramatlah buruknya so I can't afford to lose my cool in public. Because if I do, it means lepas tu I have to wear a brown paperbag to cover my face sebab tersangat malu. So I think I am getting myself a stress ball jadi whenever I speak to rude sarcastic people I will squeeze the darn ball with hope I tak lose my temper. What do you think? Ok tak?

Erghhh.. I've done it again!! I REALLY have to get back to work!!!!

Busy Busy Busy

What a busy week and still another day to go!

But great news is I'll be on leave tomorrow. Yay! I still have lotsa work stuff to do but I'll do it at home, right after this (promise!). Gotta take leave to bring Baby Maira for follow up at the dr's (I foresee hours of waiting here), nak kena renew passport and buat passport for Maira, then have to settle my car insurance and road tax. Hmm ada lagi ke things to do? I hope not! I really hope I can siapkan semua in a day.. boleh kot *pray* :)

I have just realised that I have been so busy lately that I don't watch TV anymore. I have been missing my favourite American Idol, Desperate Housewives, 90210 (ada lagi ke cerita ni?), Friends, etc. However, the other day when Maira was warded, I did manage to watch lotsa CNN (highlight was Ashton Kutcher & Larry King's twitter race) and a lil bit of AF.. ermm.. I think I'm done la with that show. To me, the only interesting part of this season is the principle's outfit. But oh well, I do remember watching the first three seasons religiously and even voted for some of the students (and my company paid for my phone bill! Shhhhh ;p).

Oooops, past mignight already. I have to prepare a document for next week's press interview. So goodnite people, sleep tight!

p/s.. I am currently sooooo addicted to Subway. I have to have it EVERYDAY. I LOVE the turkey melt with lettuce and tomatoes, and full of messy mustard, thousand island and chili sauce... yummmmm! Ok, I'm hungry!

Home Sweet Home

After spending 4 days and 3 nights at DSH, we were discharged at 9pm last night tapi paperwork took another 2 hours so we were FINALLY out of the hospital at 11pm. Kesian Audrene cos she was waiting patiently for us to pick her up from grandparents' since 7pm. By the time we sampai rumah Tok Mak, she was already fast asleep.

Back to Baby Maira, she's still coughing so dr gave her a big plastic bag full of meds. Maira doesn't like taking her ubat, puffs and nose drops. Everytime nak bagi ubat she'll cry and cry but what to do sweetheart, we want you to be in the pink of health so boleh main2 dengan kakak.

Anyway, I am soooo happy to be back at home. I hope both Kakak and Adik will stay healthy. It's no fun staying at the hospital. I was so bored that I sempat shopping2 at the pharmacy at the lobby, check out all the booths which were selling insurance, honey, etc, borak2 will the rest of the bored mommies at the ward and even one ex-minister and his wife who were at the hospital to visit their friend.

Alright everyone. Have a great week ahead. I am super busy at the office but I am liking it. Goodnite!

Still Here

Am still at DSH, Baby cannot be discharged today. Will have to go for at least another day of meds.

Oh dear.. Lotsa pending stuff at the office... How aaa??

But most of all, I miss my little Audrene :(

At The Ward Today

Here are photos of Maira at the ward today. Mula2 muka serious and then excited to see the grandparents, aunt and big sister :)







I am keeping my fingers crossed. I hope dr will discharge her tomorrow cos I really wanna go home. She looks ok now, and I think her lungs have improved. The playroom at the hospital is closed so Maira has no place to play and crawl. Dia teramatlah bosan so Mummy kena dukung, dukung and dukung :(

Alright all, nak baca buku - The Making Of Mia. My friend recommended this book about a year ago and at that time it was out of stock. It took the bookstores a year to get them. Lamakan?

p/s.. I think hospitals should have reflexlogists or tukang urut lah for mommies who are taking care of their kids. Am so bored, so at least can kill time and at the same time can relax. Or mebbe a hairsalon kat bawah? I think I'll bring this up to Maira's dr later and see what he'll say ;)

Warded

Baby Maira is down with bronkilitis and she has to be warded :(

I hope she recovers soon and can play play macam biasa.

Goodnite.. Am VERY tired.. Yawnnn!
