RamblingMoo

It has been a while since I do any meme…. not as enthusiastic as before… getting old perhaps? Well, I think most of us are tired with all the moolah making posts as well as the up coming festive mood. I’ve been busy too with a lot of stuff lately and hardly have any mood to blog… I have so many posts in my draft folder and was hoping I could complete them before Chinese New Year.

Ok, this unusual meme was passed on to me by this great mommy of three and was double tagged by a fellow Penangite mommy who shuttle between Penang and Xiamen.

Thanks ladies for classifying me as a ‘prettiest mama’ as I know where I stand in the looks category but it was nice to know you ladies thought of me.

Before I was a Mom
I never tripped over toys or forgot words to a lullaby.
I didn’t worry whether or not my plants were poisonous.
I never thought about immunizations.

Before I was a Mom
I had never been puked on.
Pooped on.
Chewed on.
Peed on.
I had complete control of my mind and my thoughts.
I slept all night.

Before I was a Mom
I never held down a screaming child so doctors could do tests or give shots.
I never looked into teary eyes and cried.
I never got gloriously happy over a simple grin.
I never sat up late hours at night watching a baby sleep.

Before I was a Mom
I never held a sleeping baby just because I didn’t want to put her down.
I never felt my heart break into a million pieces when I couldn’t stop the hurt.
I never knew that something so small could affect my life so much.
I never knew that I could love someone so much.
I never knew I would love being a Mom.

Before I was a Mom
I didn’t know the feeling of having my heart outside my body.
I didn’t know how special it could feel to feed a hungry baby.
I didn’t know that bond between a mother and her child.
I didn’t know that something so small could make me feel so important and happy.

Before I was a Mom
I had never gotten up in the middle of the night every 10 minutes to make sure all was okay.
I had never known the warmth, the joy, the love, the heartache, the wonderment or the satisfaction of being a Mom.
I didn’t know I was capable of feeling so much, before I was a Mom.

You won’t believe me if I tell you I have to put on glasses by choice and not by needs. When I was young, I was a little vain pot and after seeing some of my classmates started putting on glasses, I want a pair for myself too! In those days, fancy non-powered glasses are not in fashion yet so if anyone who wants to have a pair of glasses must have sight problems so the optometrist will then make a prescription.

Silly me went to ’spoil’ my eyes by reading in dim lights and reading lying down which is very bad for the eyes. So, after sometime my vision became weak and I finally got a chance to go to the optometrist. My power was not that high but the optometrist said I should put on a pair of glasses to correct my vision and also helps to maintain my power. The truth was, i was jumping in joy that I finally get to wear glasses! See, how silly a vain pot can be!

Well, spoiling my own vision has cost me more than I’d bargained for. My vision did not get better and every year I need to make new glasses. Then out of a sudden, I have allergy towards metal so I have to switch to no-frame types of glasses which cost so much more. Serve me right for being silly!

So now, every year without fail I will get myself a new pair of glasses for the last few years. I think I will get another pair this year since the frame that I am currently using was an old one. I like this frame as it is extremely light and won’t go rusty like some of the previous frames I had. However, most of the branded frames that I like are all so costly now.

Luckily I found the $ 8 Zenni Optical Rx Eyeglasses online. At least I don’t have to spend a bomb for glasses any more but still get the same quality like those branded ones.

I love to cook and every time I prepare our meals, I will make sure all the ingredients I use are fresh and healthy products as my family and loved ones deserved the very best. When I do shop for groceries, I will make sure I check the labels carefully and will only select those that do not have too much preservatives or other unhealthy substance. Most importantly, I will make sure the food I purchase are healthy to our hearts and free of cholesterol.

Our hearts are one of the most important organ which enable us to live and without it means we will not exist in this world. And do you know that one of the top killer is heart disease? Many had succumbed to this No. 1 killer and it is about time we should think seriously and take the steps to avoid being the next victim as heart disease can be prevented.

I simply love to blog! Not because I can ngam-ngam cham-cham here when I’m in a bad mood or sharing all my happy moments but all the etc… that comes every once a while…

With more bloggers having more than one blog now, I have been seeing quite a few of them conducting some form of advertising by having contests to get more visitors or supporters. Maybe I should do this too since my readership has been dwindling of late… hmm….

I won my first blog contest in 2006 (wah sound like so long ago!) which was organized by one of my best blogging buddy or my sifu, Immomsdaugther. And after a year gap, I did it again! This time the organizers were ParkBay and Cheek2cheeks.

So, what did I get this time?

During the time when I was with the event management company I used to deal with many people. It was one my best employment as I get to learn so much in all different aspects of event management and not to mention the excitement and satisfaction at the end of each event.

And when there are no events to handle, I will be doing other stuff such as cleaning up some of our clients’ database as well as preparing imprinted promotional products for our up  coming events. I tell you, I like this best as I can flip on so many brochures to check out all the promotional items!

I have not been blog hopping for many days and was hardly online too. Recently the network/server seems to be ultra slow and I can’t access to many pages. Not sure what is happening but according to PiggyBeng, all the uncles and aunties are jamming up the network as they want to view their share prices…. The stock market was badly hit with all the negative points!

So, I am taking the opportunity to do some stuff…

First I made these for Darrius…

It has been a month now after our high caliber minister was caught in the act. Not sure if you have noticed, the whole episode seemed to have sizzled out and no body seems to be talking about it now. Guess the focus now is the impending election.

Well, as I was talking to some relatives, they we still on the sex DVD topic a a week back and we were discussing why there is a laptop on the bed? Initially everyone was puzzled but only to realized that the couple were watching porn! Ok, he’s an old man of 60 with a young lady of 30. When men reaches 50, they will slow down and probably this affects his virility too.

One of my relative was debating if he (the minister) take any Viagra prior to the steamy session which was caught on tape? If he has taken the little blue pill, probably he won’t have to rely on the porn to get him all excited! *grin*

Anyway, as health minister he should know what is best to make his manhood stand! After all he is the one that give the approvals for any drugs to be used in the country. Some of PiggyBeng’s relatives even suspected that he was trying on new drugs! What a funny joke!

It’s so unbelievable! My little kay-poh-chi is already 26-month old 3 days ago (21 Jan). Time sure flies… As I was busy on Monday doing some preparation for the CNY, I have forgotten totally about the little boy’s big milestone. And to compensate my forgetfulness, I gave the Lil’ fella a little treat at Swensen’s in Queens Bay Mall.

We arrived pretty early and managed to get the basement car park right in front of the entrance! I did not have breakfast so I went about looking for a nice place to eat. Initially I have wanted to go to Breeks Cafe but they were not ready. Then I saw the Swensen’s banner hanging in the centre of the mall so decided to check it out. I was a huge fan of their ice-creams (Coit Tower) but sad to say that the last time I had Swensen’s was like back in 2004 at Changi Airport! Used to love Swensen’s a lot as this chain of family restaurant is pretty popular during the 90’s.

The restaurant is located on the 2 floor just next to Sake Sushi at Centre Court. They have very nice baby chair for my Lil’ kay-poh-chi. I ordered the set lunch which came with an appetizer (deep fried Shitake mushroom), main course (fish and chips) and a dessert (a big scoop of peppermint ice-cream).

Darrius was of course had a great time there. He especially likes the tartar sauce! He saw me dipping my fries into the sauce and he follow suit! Over all, the food was great, nice ambiance and friendly staff…. We might go again someday!

After filling up our tummies, I brought the Lil’ fella to the Kiddyland inside Jusco. As there were hardly anyone around, he was having the best of time going up and down from rides to rides. It’s like having a huge playground just for ourselves! The best thing about going to the mall on a weekday afternoon…

Then I brought him to Borders and let him have some reading time while waiting for PiggyBeng to come. He had a team building event in Batu Feringghi but he opted out from the afternoon session so he decided to come meet up. He did not drive as his colleague picked him up in the morning.

We shopped for a while after meeting up and let the Lil’ fella has another round at the Kiddyland before we head home. It was a hot day outside!

Beside necklace, I have a thing for bracelets too. I don’t know why I will feel that my hands are empty if I don’t put on a watch or a bracelet. Such queer feeling… like so bare!

There were times I will shop for suitable bracelet to go with some of my suits. Sometimes gold don’t go with everything so need to find those white gold or some other metals.

Recently I came to know about medical bracelet and its function. It works as a medical alert where you an engrave some text to sort of warn others during an emergency. I might just want to get one for myself.

Not sure if golfing is still as big as a few years back but I’ve noticed more and more branded sport gear companies are coming out with their own brand of golf gears.  I am no golf expert so I won’t know much. All this while I thought Nike was more into sports shoes until recently when I learned about the new Nike golf clubs that this big guy is also cashing onto the golf scene.

Well, if you are thinking of starting some golfing lessons, do check out Nike’s golf clubs. Who knows if you could put your way to a hole-in-one!
