Lazing Around

Friday, February 27th, 2009

lazing-aroundI am still trying to catch up with a lot of things left behind. It seems like my work is becoming endless. And I’m too lazy to finish them up.  The other day, I spent my whole day just lazing around while waiting for kids to come from school. I mean while waiting to pick them up.

I’m supposed to be cleaning up… I am supposed to be preparing for my next trip… I’m supposed to be writing about some Ferrari parts… I’m supposed to be busy… But here I am… lazing around. Somebody kick me butt please. LOL.

Our Travels

Tuesday, February 24th, 2009

I have previously blogged about our travels which are already lined up for the first half of the year. The Philippine trip was not in our plan… but I was glad to be able to go back and spend time with my sister. She’s going to the US soon and we dunno when we can see each other again. We also made a trip to Zambales to surprise my oldest sister. I haven’t seen her in 4 years! You can just imagine how shocked she was to see us right at her doorstep.

I also flew to Kota Kinabalu. I was supposed to be climbing Mt Kinabalu with hubby there but because of the delays in my passport renewal, wasn’t able to do so.

I have made other bookings for my family members as well. Looks like I’m an AirAsia fan now. I have noticed that when you book your flight by AirAsia, there’s an option to get a travel insurance. That one I always take… just in case. If probably they offer a term insurance, I would probably grab it too. Seriously.

Anyways, I have another trip coming up on Saturday. I haven’t been to this place so I am really looking forward to this trip. Will let you know of the update soon.

Sunway Pyramid

Tuesday, February 24th, 2009

One of the things I miss doing here is going to the malls. I miss going to Ikea furniture mall… I miss going to Sunway Pyramid. Yesterday, when the kids and I were talking, I told them we were going to Sunway Pyramid the next day. So I asked them… what did they wanna do in Sunway Pyramid. My two-year old girl said: shopping! LOL. She’s only 2 and shopping is already in her vocabulary. Too much exposure from parents, I should say.

Sunyway Pyramid is a posh mall. They have a very modern POS system. Digital signage is everywhere. There’s also an ice skating rink. My boy loves going there. When I was away, hubby took my boy there for ice skating.  I love going to Marks and Spencer there. In fact, I’m planning to go there tonight. I wanna buy a couple of liquid handwash and hand lotion for our guest room. I love the Magnolia smell.

When hubby comes home, we’re going there. Can’t wait.

Moving House

Tuesday, February 24th, 2009

A few more months and we’re leaving this house. We only have a 3-year contract to stay in this house. The house owners are coming back from a job posting abroad. We were actually hoping they would extend their stay there. Unfortunately, the prefer living in Malaysia.

We are now looking at some options:

1. Move back to our apartment

2. Look for a house in the same area

3. Rent my brother-in-law’s house in Putra Heights. That house is very new… nobody has ever lived there. They bought it last year but decided not to live there because they have finally settled in their house in Bandar Parklands.

There are so many things to do. We need to decide soon. If we’re moving back to our apartment, that means, we have to sell some of our furniture now. When we moved here, I bought a lot of second hand furniture from e-bay. We even have an office furniture now in our study room. Those will have to go away too.

6-hour Bus Ride

Tuesday, February 17th, 2009

victory-linerWe just came back from visiting my sister in another town. It took us 6 hours by bus to get there, and 6 hours to come back. Victory Liner buses are so efficient and I like their buses. BUt 6 hours of sitting in a bus is not easy. I am now having shoulder and back pain. Maybe I should just  buy  a shoulder pain pump. It would probably ease the pain.Right now I am resting, checking emails, writing posts for my blogs. And the pain gets worse and worse.
