Tire Punctured

Monday, June 1st, 2009

Last Sunday after church, we met up with friends and had lunch at Ikea. I wanted to do a bit of canvassing at Ikea. We need to setp up the kids’ rooms, by the way. It was great going to Ikea again. It’s been ages since the last we went there…like half a year ago. My boy even noticed it. When we reached Ikea he said.. so long we didn’t come here! The children had Swedish meat balls and I had fried chicken.

We went to Dome for coffee afterwards. My girl suddenly became so active… so we decided to come home. When we reached home, hubby checked one of the tires because he felt there’s something wrong somewhere. He was right. One of the tires was punctured. Good thing nothing happened while we were driving. Thank God indeed for protection.

It’s always good if your car is insured. So whatever happens, you don’t need to spend too much fixing it. You can actually check insurance quote before getting one. It’s always wise to know which is cheaper and good value for money.

Moving a Lot

Sunday, May 31st, 2009

I have been moving out and in lately. I just moved my other blog from blogspot to wordpress. I spent time looking for related themes though. I’d been wanting to move all my blogs to wordpress. But I’d been too lazy to look up for some themes. But the other night, when my friend Ruby and I were chatting, out of the blue, I loved one of my blogs to wordpress and moved it to self-hosting website. It was fun looking for themes… but it was a bit tiring.

Another moving out that we are going to do is moving out of this house. For real. I have started packing, of course but I only packed the ones we’re giving away. I know it’s tiring to be moving houses. But we don’t have any choice. Our 3-year contract is going to end soon.

I know I would be needing a lot of rest. I haven’t been sleeping well lately. I wonder if the sleep number bed could help me sleep better. I wish there’s a way to try. I really need to get a good sleep before starting a heavy job of packing and relocating.

2 More Months

Saturday, April 18th, 2009

Yes. It’s 2 more months and we’re out of here. To where, I am not sure yet. Hubby seems so confident that we could find a house right before we move out. Or probably we’re hoping that the owners would continue to rent this house out to us. They are actually planning on buying a new house, a corner house this time because his mom is going to live with them. Apparently, his mom is too old to climb up and down the stairs so they’re thinking of buying a corner house so they could make an extension to accommodate her room. It would be very easy for them to do it since they have the money to do it.  They’d been in Holland for a managerial job posting. So I believe they can afford to buy a new house (and probably if they want, they can afford to do aluminum fence installation as well.

Now what hubby is doing is scouting for an available corner house in USJ 18. There were a few houses we saw but some of them were already sold out. I wonder why they keep the sign board there though. I hope that they (our houseowners) would consider one of those we saw. That way, we don’t have to move out.

Shopping Day

Friday, March 27th, 2009

Tomorrow is a shopping day. We are running out of food supplies. It’s been awhile since we haven’t dorocery shopping. We have been so busy we barely have enough time to buy things.  Anyways, here’s my grocery shopping list:

1. kitchen cleaning stuff

2. canned goods i.e. spaghetti sauce, sardines (my prinzy loves sardines), tuna, etc

3. pasta

4. meat (chicken, minced meat for spaghetti, beef cubes for beef stew)

5. sugar

6. if we have more time we can probably go hunt some sexy lingerie. how did this manage to come out in my grocery shopping list? LOL. it should be in my personal shopping list!

Anyways, we usually do our grocery shopping in Carrefour. It is just next to Subang Parade mall, just in case we decide to do a bit more shopping.

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.
