Love is like a butterfly, it goes where it pleases and it pleases wherever it goes.
Love is like a butterfly, hold it too tight, it'll crush. Hold it too loose, it'll fly.

Fearsome Fours

I always thought Terrible Twos and Thrashing Threes are awful till I recently discovered Fearsome Fours.


Don't get me wrong. I love both my girls to death but sometime, they can really drive me up the wall.


And this morning, I'd have enough and let it all out.




bathroom


I was wondering the other day why my bathroom tissue went through so fast. I mean, I have to buy a 12-pack every week on my grocery run.


naughty


This young lady was spending her quiet time playing in the bathroom with my bathroom tissue, the contact lenses' solution, hand soap, mouthwash, toothpaste, towels, bandages - basically anything that she can find in the bathroom.


naughty


When I sat her down, questioned and explained to her, she said she was sorry, gave me a smile and ran away.


I'm so not looking forward to a full year of Fearsome Fours. What would be Fives?


Fabulous Fives..? I seriously hope so.





============================






And here is my Sweet Sevens...


Photobucket


This young lady loves the camera so much, it's not even funny.


Photobucket


And the thing is, she is so good in front of the camera...


Photobucket


that I wish she could be in some kind of tv commercial modelling kids clothing or something.

When I asked the Fearsome Fours to post for me, here's what I got.



Photobucket


I'd told you that they are an apple and an orange - came from the same source but with a completely different personality.



==================================







On August 31st, Malaysia will celebrate its Independence Day.


Selamat Hari Kebangsaan (Happy Independence Day) to all Malaysians out there.


Merdeka! Merdeka! MERDEKA!


The T's residence will host a Merdeka Party tomorrow and have invited a few friends and their families over for lunch.


There will be alot of cookings involved in the morning, so I'd be better off to bed soon. Had a long day today and the girls wore me out. I'm seriously dead tired.

Hair Makeover

Couldn't get myself comfortable in bed.

Been tossing and turning all night.

Finally an hour later, decided to turn on my laptop and surfed a bit.

Found nothing interesting to read. None of my frequently visit blogger had their blogs updated today. Urrgh!

Logged on to my bank account to check the balance. Hmmmm, moolah gone down the drain fast this month paying bills, shopping, fast food, take-outs and unneccesary charges. (Note to self: spend less on shopping next pay period).

After a couple minutes of surfing, found an interesting website - The Hair Makeover, so I decided to have a little fun.

Yeah, I'm in the hair thingy again. It's so weird that I think I'm going through some kind of phrase with my appearance.

I would go crazy at some point, over my clothing; what to wear to work, the top should go with this pants, not that; summer dresses for Monday, Wednesday and Friday and so for.

Then come next week, I would change my path and pay more attention on shoes. Heels for today, flats for tomorrow or perhaps tennis shoes day after (I wish!).


And now, here I'm in my hair thingy.

For the past few days, I have been thinking of changing my hairstyle and the color too.

I would probably keep my long hair, maybe get a perm or change the color to light brown/dark blonde.


So, here are some pictures of the makeover. Tell me which one do you like the most.





Photobucket
No. 1 - this is ok but bet it's hard to maintain. Would probably spend an hour styling.

Photobucket
No. 2 - not bad but would cost a bomb to get this curly look. I'm talking probably $150-$200, US Dollar.

Photobucket
No. 3 - Hmmm, just ok. Not sure about this one though.

Photobucket
No. 4 - love this. Look so natural on me.


Photobucket
No. 5 - Just ok, but don't think I will go for this one.

Photobucket
No. 6 - One of my favourite but way too blonde. I probably can ask to change the color to darker blonde, eh..?





Or I might cut my bangs but keep the length of my hair.

Photobucket
No. 7 - My favourite bangs so far. Looks a little younger on me.


Photobucket
No. 8 - I like the long bangs but it is just way too blonde, I think. Will go light brown if this one was choosen.

Photobucket
No. 9 - Oh la la... Like the hairstyle thought but definitely won't go so crazy on bleeching my hair.

Photobucket
No. 10 - This I would think I need to have a big hair to achieve the look. Won't work well on my limp and greasy hair. Oh well!








Or I might go a little crazy and cut it short.

Photobucket
No. 11 - Not too bad. Easy to maintain and save lots of time. And shampoo too!

Photobucket
No. 12 - Love the style and the color too but this would also cost a bomb - cut, perm and color and at least 3-5 hours in the salon.

Photobucket
No. 13 - Aaaah, not much into this. Too short for me but I do look alot younger with this hairstyle. No?

Photobucket
No. 14 - This would be the shortest. Kinda like it too but not the color. Never look good in dark black hair but I seriously like the hairstyle.

Photobucket
No. 15 - Ha... This would definitely make me look 10 years younger, eh..?

Photobucket
No. 16 - Hairstlye is okay but just wasn't ready to go with white color hair.


Whutchu think?


Here is a favor to ask.

Pick one of your favourite picture from each catagory; long hair and short hair. Let me know in the comment box. Then I will decide to have it cut short or keep it long.








I definitely would very much like to hear from a few of my male readers though - you know who you are..!!! So, come on. Help me out.

Speak out gentlemen and tell me whutchu think and I'll tell you which one I like.


Here you go.


=> I like No. 4 and No. 6.

=> I think I look pretty decent with bangs too.

=> And for short hair, I like No. 12 and No. 15.





Please don't tell me to go and color my hair black. It doesn't look good on me.


Don't believe what I'd just said..??

a very short post

During the summertime, we like to cook most of our food on the grill. Be it steaks, hotdogs, tuna or hamburgers, the grill in our backyard has been our "bestfriend", working "his" b@tt off almost everyday.

annabel

In addition to being a fun summertime activity, grilling foods offers many other advantages.

burger

One of the most beneficial advantages of grilling is that grilling, particularly grilling meats is far healthier than other methods which are used to cook meats.

I have to admit that I enjoy outdoor cooking alot as it cuts down the energy cost of using stove and oven in the house.


emma

But for some particular reason, this young lady wasn't happy at all. If only I can read her mind!


mommy

And here is me, all smiling in MrT's mom's jammies. It's one of the most comfortable 100% cotton jammies I have in many.



++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++


I had a doctor appointment with my GP last Thursday and upon arrival at her office, the nurse checked my BP, measured my weight and all the whole nine yards. It turned out that my BP reading is NORMAL. 122/83. WTF?

Dr Sebastian said my BP is perfectly normal - nothing to worry about but have to re-check again in a couple of weeks just to be sure. Aaaah, it's a never ending story and I'm not going to sweat about it.

So, I'm very fine - very healthy. Just a little stress from work sometime, I guess.


Gotta go to bed now. Had a great party today and more pool time tomorrow. Arios!

Not as old as he looks....




MrT just turned 42.


So, congrats to AuntieYan @ Makcik Blogger. (Pandai ko teka, eh..???)


A couple of the guesses made me chuckle a bit.


Dawn said MrT was 47. I asked MrT how he feels about that and he said, "Darn, I guess I'm an old man..."

aint-super-woman said he was 37. MrT did a victory dance after hearing me said so. Aiyo, he can't be younger than me.



So Ladies (aint-super-woman & AuntieYan @ Makcik Blogger), your surprises should be in the mail soon. I have to apologies it's gonna take a while for me to get it shipped out. I'm SUPER busy with work and on weekends, the girls worn me out.

So, hang in there. Should be out in the mail soon.



===============================


Went to have my blood pressure checked again this afternoon at my doctor's office.

Not good. It was at 140/90. The first time I had it checked a week ago, it was 148/88.

Had to get with my Family Practice and see what I need to do. It would be either I have to change my diet (cut down on salt intake and all the whole nine yard) or put me on medication.

I'm seriously not ready to deal with my HBP. I mean, come on, I'm still very young - not even 40. I have been eating healthy when I was on diet - mainly fruits and vegetables and I have not had a clue why my freaggin BP reading went up the roof.

Sorry I'm in a crabby mood and not ready to die of heart attack, so any advice on High Blood Pressure is very much appreciated.


===================================



Killian

Yup, he still hang out in our house with the girls. I know, he's a heart breaker.


Killian

Don't really know what he was doing but I'm sure he was having alot of fun.


annabel

As long as she is happy, that's all it matters.



Time to cook dinner. Rotini with meat sauce. YUM!

Happy Birthday MrT

It's MrT's birthday today.

I was going to stay as quiet as possible so that I don't have to invite the entire neighborhood over for a birthday party and work my *toot toot* off. That of course work out very well.

But anyhow, at the pool this evening, Barb (Annabel's friend, Ava's mom) did ask what we are going to do for MrT's birthday.

She's one of the super-friendly-soccer-mom type of woman in our neighborhood and I wasn't really surprised at all how in the world did she know MrT's birthday.


dinner
So I told Barb (short for Barbara, not Barbie... Haha!) we are going to have Famous Dave's BBQ Ribs take-out for dinner....

dinner
... and the girls, Cheeseburger with steak fries.

cake

Dessert was ice-cream cake from Coldstone Cremery. Sinfully delicious and extremely expensive.


kiss

A kiss for A and another one for E.



+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++



Now if you were not the winner of my last post, here is another chance for you to win a surprise prize from MrT.


Can you guess how old is MrT?


Look at his picture again. Let me give you a some hint. He ain't that young anymore... Hair full of gray... Haha!


First correct answer in my comment box will be the winner.


Closing date: Saturday, August 08 at 10:00 pm EST.



+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++


Alright, the winner of my last post is...............................




























weight

aint-super-woman said...

117 lbs......

(( SKY )) - 135 lbs?? Aiyoyo, I really don't want to go back to that weight. I was very chunky back then. Let me be happy and stay the way I am right now, ok..??



Now, go and guess how old is MrT.


Before doing so, let me show you a picture of these two girls which I thought they were super cute.
