A Homemaker’s Diary

Not sure whether I have shared these pictures before, but just to let you readers out there to know..The Big Bad Wolf book sale is coming to town from 12th to 17th November. This time the venue will be at South City Plaza, Seri Kembangan.

If you are their facebook fans, perhaps you already see what kind of books they will be selling this year.

So far I haven’t seen any book that I would like to buy but I’m sure by the time I go to the sale, I will be buying a lot more than I first plan to..huhu!

After all books are not perishable. We can always keep them and read one page at a time..haha! I am still reading most of the books I bought last year, especially those in the parenting genre.

See you at the BBW sale this year!

I’ve been planning to update this blog since like errr 2 days ago..but I don’t know what topic I want to write about..huhu!

At the moment that I’m writing this, I am so annoyed with all these mosquitoes..I already switch on the ubat nyamuk, right below my feet, and yet it makes no effect to them. They keep on taking turn biting my fingers, my feet, my leg..aarrgghh! Blame it on me for not closing the door to the bedroom this evening. I usually make it a point to close the door before I go down to the kitchen to cook around 4pm as I always take time to go up again (unless the little one poops and I need to wash him).

Well, lesson learned! Tomorrow I will make sure I close the door..huhu!

Oh, I will be conducting class this Saturday after almost 4 months of not having any craft class. Not sure how dear son will do, but I think he’s getting better handling the separation anxiety. Plus, I’m sure he will be having great father and son bonding time at McDonald’s (his current fav food is the fries and choc sundae..heh!)

In the mean time, I need to find bam gamat and put on the mosquito bites..eeiii very annoying la you nyamuk..huhu!

I know, I know..I’ve been neglecting this blog.

Well, I am so busy with my other blog and some crafty work that I feel so lazy to update this blog..heh!

Maybe I don’t have much motivation since the Nuffnang buffered earning for this blog is still stuck at the same amount the last time I checked. I’m not sure when that buffered earning will go into the metered earning because I so want to cash out the amount at the end of this month. I plan to buy more craft stuffs with that money…err even then I have to wait another 30 days to get the cheque..but still at least I’m earning something from blogging, right?

Home wise, nothing much..precious son is still having problem getting to sleep at night, sometimes he falls asleep at 5 am..huhu..and I will usually spend 2 hours after he’s asleep to recharge. These days I am contemplating on what to buy for my latest craft venture…learning whatever I can from those videos on Youtube before I make up my mind on what to splurge.

I bought another great parenting book by the same author that wrote Sleepless In America and currently reading it. I also bought Eat Pray Love, but that book will be like secondary to what I’m supposed to finish reading. Parenting my son the right method is more important than reading some divorced, career driven woman autobiography.

Oh, for the past few days, I’ve been watching Criminal Mind and The Unit on FOX almost every night while hubby is babysitting dear son..Thanks Hubby for giving me some ME-time! I love you..muah! Tomorrow night will be the final episode for Criminal Mind for the current season, so that would mean I only have to spend one hour to watch The Unit instead of 2 hours being a couch potato..what a relief!

Till then, happy Wednesday people..try to have fun in whatever you are doing 🙂

We have terminated the Maxis Broadband on Sunday. Why? Coz we have Unifi now..hehe!

What can I say about the speed? Fast enough for me to watch all the videos on Youtube which usually will take ages to finish loading. Now I am more inspired and determined to do more cards and scrapbooking layout for challenges..hehe!

Perhaps it’s about time I start Tweedlewink class, since the online class is in video format.

Err..Hubby, The HyppTV VOD got Prince of Persia la…soon I don’t need to spend money buying DVD la if they have all nice movies which I haven’t watch..cewahh!

When I was like 10, I used to envy a box of Luna 36-piece colored pencils that a girl in my class has. It was like heaven when she allowed me to use her colored pencils.

I never took advantage of her kindness, it was a few time and I really cherished the chance to gaze at all the 36 beautiful colors. I guess those few moments are what spark my early interest in craft and art.

Now that I have a child, I try to expose him to many great things in learning.

We have tried paint, crayon and now I would like to introduce him to colored pencils. We bought a box of 12-piece long colored pencils brand Luna STAEDTLER as it is the best that I have ever used.

He has been using normal 2B pencil and scribbled on my craft stuff in the craft room every chance he gets..so I guess the colored pencil is not so foreign to him.

I hope by the time he’s ready to go to play school, he will have the skills to do some basic coloring.
