Tickets have been bought, vacation time has been approved by the boss a couple weeks ago and now we are just waiting for the date to come. We are going HOME in January 2009 to celebrate Chinese New Year with our family! The girls are excited, I'm overjoyed and Robert, of course, can't wait to be back to Malaysia again after 3-long years.
Anyone up for a makan-makan gathering while we're in Kuala Lumpur, please raise your hand!
Date, time and venue to be confirmed later.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
The girls were playing at the hall-way this morning while waiting for me to get ready for work. Thought the picture below is too cute not to share with you all.
May I introduce you to (from left to right)Dora (duh!), Baby (double duh!!), Sammy (got him when Annabel was born) and Freddie (we accidently took him home from the day care thinking that he was Sammy. Aren't they look-a-like?)
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
As I said in my last post, I took a week off blogging and been pigging out on Kuih Raya. Guess what? I freaking put on TWO pounds and this week, I have been bad too. Snacking all the time and only on Special-K diet for 1 day. That's bad.
Can you see that extra 2-pounds on the tummy?
And this picture was taken 3 hours ago. My hair is getting way too long and definitely need to make a trip to the salon before heading home.+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
How do you like these bags?
I absolutely love Bag #1 and #4 and had placed an order with Kak Ummi. They are all hand-made by Kak Ummi, carefully sew with lots of love and patience.
If you have the same taste like me and would like to buy any of the bags, go visit Sew Pretty Pink and place your order with Kak Ummi. She can personalised your order that best suit you. I also find the prices are pretty affordable for hand-made bags.

ohhhh so nice to be back at home ehhh...i thk yatie is also coming back in january too....
wah if you decided to come to pg, pls let me know yeah...
btw, maybe you can consider coming back to msia and cut/perm/colour your hair cos it's definetely cheaper to do so here than in US! anyway, i dont thk you should trim your hair, long hair looks great on you!
Bestnya you are going home in January. You can start preparing to pack from now on. I heard that Northwest is not going to charge extra on luggage. That is an added advantage. Haiyaa...2 lbs is nothing mah. Kak Zu put on more than 10 lbs. Cannot come down. hahaha. My perut buncit macam mengandong 10 bulan. Nak pakai kebaya pun butang pecah terus. LOL.
Ha..Freddie tu you mesti pulangkan ke day care semula. Nanti ada budak yang tak boleh tidur malam sebab kehilangan Freddie dia. Kesian pulak...
Wah..nak balik m'sia...you mesti buat list..apa nak buat,apa nak makan(yg paling penting tuh!),apa nak beli..dan mcm2 lagi laa..Kalau tak nanti nyesal tau!!
