A Homemaker’s Diary

Gosh! Time does fly these days..it’s like one day it’s Monday then somehow it’s the next Monday..isk isk..although if you’re a stay-at-home mom with a kid like mine, you’ll be counting the hours till his sleep time. Nevertheless with all the daily routines and packed schedule, there goes January of 2010.

So what have I achieved for the month of January?

I conducted craft classes with altogether 7 students – which means I get to know another new 7 personalities and an additional income of RM500++.

Oh, I didn’t win the craft contest, couldn’t even make it on time for the prize giving ceremony. Fortunately I didn’t win otherwise me being late comer, the prize will be passed to the next in line..heh! But it was a good exposure for me to see how creative others can be.

Son has been walking here and there..now I can water my plants without holding him in one hand..the joy of having both of my hands back to my own usage..hehe! He on the other hand will be terkedek-kedek busy nak menyapu halaman.

Finished reading a few parenting books. In the process of building up another website/blog dedicated to parenting.

Cashed out RM80++ from Nuffnang. That’s basically a month payout for all my blogs registered under Nuffnang.

Cashed out USD90++ from Socialspark into PayPal. I used about USD30 from that amount to buy a craft book which I have been eyeing since last year. Can’t wait for the book to arrive from US.

Bought a red bicycle for Son. Now we petang-petang amik angin sambil sembang dgn maid Indon..huhu!

Well, that’s what I can think of now. Of course there were many more that I am grateful and happy about.

Just hope that February will be a much better month for us as a family. In the mean time, Selamat Hari Wilayah to people working in KL and Putrajaya!

My school among the country’s first ever 20 high performance schools..hehe..

It has been many weeks (or was it months?) since the last bedroom mosquito attack..isk! Tonight I took the chance to sweep the floor while Hubby took care of the Son and somehow many mosquitoes came inside the room..isk isk! Benci! I shouldn’t have let the door left ajar while sweeping the floor.

As I am writing this entry, I can feel the bite on my hands and feet..Hopefully Son is not been bitten by any otherwise I have to go on mission menyapu Mozzie BUDS on the bite mark. He has a very sensitive skin that will leave scar and mark if not being taken care of carefully.

Well, I just can’t stand the mosquito anymore..will have to go and wash my hands and put some bam gamat on the bintat2 nyamuk..Happy Friday people!

I’ve been trying to upload these 2 pictures of the bilik pengantin but up till this moment when I am typing this entry, I only managed to upload only one picture..damn the Maxis Broadband connection at home..isk! Can’t wait to get Streamyx (hopefully in another 1-2 weeks..huhu!)

Eventhough the wedding theme is red and black, SIL and Niece #1 decided to use the white cadar pengantin that Niece #1 bought for her wedding in 2008. Only the curtain is in black and red design. I think if the whole room is decorated in merah hitam theme, it will be gloomy (ada unsur Gothic or Old Hollywood just like in this wedding blog I found earlier)

I found the red and black bed runner which is actually a table runner at the bazaar at The Curve. The black rectangle plate was bought at The Curve as well since they have sale for Christmas. The rose petals we bought in IKEA, together with the 3 red candles. It was not much but overall it complemented the whole theme..(with limited budget what do you expect, kan?)

Not sure whether the pengantin baru did remove the artificial rose petals on their wedding night or not..haha!

Thank God! The wedding went well despite a few glitches here and there..biasa la kan..macam2 orang macam2 la kerenahnya..nevertheless what we planned we carried out smoothly. We left SIL’s house around 7pm because The Son could no longer stay happy..tak dapat la tgk pengantin open their presents..pity him for having to wake up early on that Sunday morning, berpanas, tak selesa and all that during the whole wedding day..but he didn’t even cry, mengamuk or whatnot, Alhamdulillah.

That night both of us pengsan awal..hehe..and today my thighs are so sore with all the heavy lifting, walking up and down the stairs, I even accompanied the bride berarak while holding my son. Tell you what, if you have one clingy son and you really take care of him on your own, definitely tak payah pegi gym to work out..haha!

Well, I will share more pictures of the wedding later. Now, I need to catch up on my sleep while The Son is enjoying his. Happy Tuesday, people!
