toys

I havent been updating my journal...I think blogging has been replaced by facebook, plus i dont spend that much time online no more..well except when im at work, my facebook will be on , almost all the time.

time flies, im 8 months pregnant now, 6 more weeks to go, and for some reason I had this strong feeling that she's gonna come early, we got everything ready, well everything that we could think of. I ve been in and out Toys R us so much! and because of xmas season, the checkout counters are always busy! and toys are not cheap!!! I stood in line watching hundreds and hundreds of dollars spent on just in toys!!

I know this make me sound so old but kids these days are freakin lucky!! thanks to technology, they hv the coolest stuff ever! even I was seriously amazed with that!!

for example : everyone's favourite muppet - Elmo with lively movements, 2 songs, 2 stories, 2 games, 5 jokes - going for 70$!! and they are the hot seller,
i watched this 4 years old kid stood infront of the display unit, tickle the elmo and it ll start singing, she was happy!jumping and clapping , in my heart was like "wow, it really make them this happy?", and once the music stopped she kept going for two more times, and walked away coz she was bored already...

wth? $70 to keep the kid amused for 15 mins? pssshhh!

ill just let my kids play with sand and mud in the garden

Final debate night



19 days before the election day and the polling pull the two presidential candidates more and more apart. 8%, 8 points! can McCain still catch up before the big day?The debate last night was intense, lots of accusations and I could really sense McCain's anger and desperation - attacking his opponent about his "spread the wealth" tax plan. That obviously didn't work!

you make more than $250,000 a year - an extra of $2000 you contribute to your "great" country wouldn't be such big deal, will it? none of this apply to me or my family but honestly if i could make that much a year, I seriously won't mind that, unless the it started out with insanely high tax bracket.

cute moments of my babies

Pictures update of my doggies...


Pooky did something bad and was being punished


haha i know is not exactly the picture moment but his body language just soooo cute that i had to take a picture! reminds me of a baby elephant in the circus, haha



doggies taking an afternoon nap with my pooh bear - i dont mind them snuggling up with it, as long as they are not chewing it or make it a victim of tuck-o- war.

awww mommy woke pooky up with the shutter clicks


guess i woke Lex too... my giant baby~

breathe..breathee

I am just entering my third trimester and already freaking out about the labor.

I know is not until 3 months from now, but a fren was in labor yesterday and i went to the hospital, her contraction started on wed morning 1am, and the baby didnt come out till thursday morning 3.45am!! thats like almost 27 hours!!! Poor thing...

we were there b4 the baby was born and b4 she got the epidural, the door was open and i was standing outside, i could hear her scream and moan! that freaks the hell out of me!!! her mom and sisters had to leave the labor room and sob outside coz it hurts them to see her in so much pain.

i know everybody is different but this seriously freak me out good, on the other side they were two women gave birth in the room next to hers, and the wall is pretty thin, so they could hear everything, one of them had the baby without a single moan, all they heard were whole bunch of talking - which i assume the doctors were giving instructions. and next thing you know they heard "yayyy!" big cheer to the new born.

I shouldn't have stood outside the door and listen... gotto pace myself now...Please god let it be an easy one for me...

The "Lekor" night

Last week darling was craving for keropok lekor, so i decided to google the recipe and turned out it wasn't hard at all! There were like 3 ingredients, fish, tapioca flour and salt!

making the fish paste was a bitch! pick the bones, slice the meat then mince them..urg! smelly!

When im done making the dough n boiled the lekor, while waiting for them to be dried in the low heat oven, I called home to speak to mom but she wasn't home, so i spoke to my little brother instead - so i proudly told him

" Im making keropok lekor lehhhhh"

and he replied
"ohhhh i bought those from pasar malam last night, wahhh so nice with the chili sauce, you got the chili sauce or nottttt????"

-_-

He loves to tease me with food that i love - but I felt like a donkey after spending all that effort n sweat and he told me cockily ohh i just bought it from pasar malam..........


well anyway....they turned out pretty good, erm back home u probably paid 3 or 4rm at pasar malam for the small portion we made.


cutting up the dried lekor ready to be deep fried


Darling did a pretty good job improvising the chili sauce using this super spicy vietnamese chili paste.

Piece of art~



We were super happy and satisfied that night, watched a movie while chewing on crunchy keropok lekor! Maybe because is self made, so it tasted better than the pasar malam ones.. teehee!

update from yours truly

Have been extremely inactive in keeping my journal. But everytime i came in here and tried to create a new post, i dont know what to write...is like nothing interesting is happening. Actually not true. Now that Facebook is becoming so big, I usually do my photos update there.

Anywayyy yesterday this came into my mail : Free Cruise Voucher for 2 plus 1300$ spending money!

No they did not randomly picked my address, but i got a call from Imperial majesty Cruise Line Vacation from Florida and they told me about this good deal! with alot of hesitation and more greed and kiasuness, i gave them my info (except credit card).





Looks legitimate right!? to claim my free cruise, i gotto call this tollfree number, which i havent done so.... hmmm should I?


Butch and his fiance Mayo visited us from Japan last week. Its sooo nice to see him again after two years! we really enjoy their company and too bad it was such a short trip :(


Anyway update on Baby Liu!

She's kicking harder and harder as she grows and sometimes it annoys me a little bit. Both our moms commented the same thing when they were pregnant with us, and of coz we both turned out to be hyper kids....I guess our baby is going to be Trouble with the capital T! Thanks to her us!

We started looking at baby stuff in Toys R us. and all i can say is "WOW" they are not cheap! cribs, stroller, crib bedding, mattress, diaper genie, baby carrier, receiving blankets, baby monitor etc etc!!! I cant even find an old school breast pump! they are all electric operated and cost more than $130! I called mom immediately after and give her list of things to bring, nothing big of coz, teehee!


Butch and Mayo got her these cute baby booty! is so soft and comfy and is pink!



Cute baby fleece hoodie and toque got from Roots Factory outlet, good bargain! I dont know why they look so big in the picture but they are actually tiny!!
