Sketches of Life|Life Lived in Simplicity

7 years has gone by with many sweet memories. Hubby asked, what we have accomplished thus far. Well, we are still together, still loving each other and still very much in love. We have 3 kids; that is big accomplishment. We bought properties, we started our own business, I resigned and still driving our old junks.

I hope and pray that there will be many more 7 years to come and we will grow old together gracefully and without any health problem. Pray that we would never need any stair lift to go up the stairs.

There isn’t many occasion in my life that I really LAUGH OUT LOUD till I shed tears. I can’t remember when was the last time I shed tears due to laughter.

Today is the day. I really laugh and laugh and laugh till I shed tears. Wipes tears and laugh again and again and again.

It felt so good after laughing so much; really laugh.

Unfortunately, I can’t share the reason to it. It is too personal. All I can say is, thank you so much dear and you my dear.

Thank you for bringing me so much laughter today.

THEN:

I received the above bouquet of roses a day before my birthday and I was on top of the world because no one has given me any flowers for ages. These flowers are even more precious because they are from friends that never meet me before (one of them only actually).

Flowers will wither but I will not let this one “died” on me. I hang it upside down and let it dry. I must preserve this bouquet as how I will try my very best to preserve this special online friendship.

NOW:

I am still waiting for hubby to surprise me with a bouquet of flowers. The last I received from him was on our Marriage Registration Day; 010301.

Girls will be girls no matter how tomboyish you maybe. Once a guy start noticing you and you falling in love, you will be completely transformed to be a lady. That happened to me. Then I started to take notice of what other real girls are wearing and the way the carry themselves. Then I started collecting wholesale fashion jewelry to wear them when attending church and dating. To make myself look more girlish. Then one fine day, my boyfriend told me that he fall in love with me because I am a tomboy! Anyway, that was too late because I was enjoying being a girl and getting noticed by other guys!

If I can remember clearly, I never receive a real fresh rose for Valentine’s Day since I have a boyfriend and now husband. Either I dated/married a very practical man who does not like wasting money or a poor man. Hehehe. I don’t think my man is that poor. I think he is stingy! Hahaha.

If I were to marry someone who supplies wholesale roses, I will lack no roses on any occasion. I think I will get sick of seeing roses all my married life! Btw, I don’t think he will give me any rose on Valentine’s Day. Better he sells them and earns more money! Don’t you think so?

That is what hubby said about me.

Well, no wonder I do not have many real friends. First impression when they see me, Snobbish Girl and they did not try to get to know me better.

And I am not the type of person that approaches others. You have to make your first move. I am not snobbish, I am very shy. Really!

No wonder I have many online friends. They get to know me from my blogs and from chatting with me. They do not see my snobbish face!

I love to chat especially on MSN Messenger. It is my meeting place with other blogger mommies during working hours. We chat about everything. From blogging, working, parenting to marriage. If there is a free phone chat like Talk121 in Malaysia, I think we will be hooked to it.

If you are living in US, and love meeting new people and chatting then you might want to check out Talk121. You can call in for free chat or leave Voice Personals for others to hear when they are off the phone. How I wish we have this kinda free chat lines here.

We went dating again. This time, I did not trouble my mom to babysit my children. My maid cowtim them.

We went to Bert’s which is located at Klebang Beach, nearby the coming soon Marine Theme Park.

However the food there is super expensive. Fish & Chip for RM15.00. A Plate of French Fries for RM6.00. The cheapest food in the menu is Nasi Lemak which is RM3.00. Itu pun dah mahal but since we are seated and ordered our drinks, a small glass of Soursop for RM6.00 and a small glass of Ice Lemon Tea for RM5.00, we ordered the cheapest food and 10 Otak Otak at 60 cents a piece.

I think we paid for the ambiance. The restaurant is by the seaside and most of their customers are not locals.

After the dinner, we went for a walk at Pantai Puteri; taking picture of the night scenery.

I cannot keep my mouth shut anymore and I have spoken again. This time I told him what I felt like doing to the computer. I wonder whether is there something like a drug rehab centre for people who are addicted to online games?

If not, maybe I will admit myself into one. At least I know, there I will get some attention there. Oh well, I don’t think they would want me unless I get myself addicted to drug first. Not worth while. I think I just throw the computer away.

…YESTERDAY…30th November

I went to get my hair steamed because it has become too dry but I didn’t get the neck and shoulder massage as usual. Maybe steaming does not come with massage, only washing. Well, to save money, I brought my own shampoo and the hair wax for the steaming. I only pay for service charge of RM15.

After than hubby treated me for a buffet lunch at Renaissance Hotel. Well, for a 5 Stars hotel and the amount of dollar and cents that we paid, I was quite disappointed with the spread of food. That is why I did not snap any pix except this one as a remembrance. I only ate one tiny piece of each type. Not nice. But I really enjoy our quality time together where we talk about our future and our expectation.

After that we went to Jusco Playground to have some fun. We head for the drum first of course, our favorite. Then hubby felt like throwing some punches but finds me not his compatible target. Look at him punching away to release his frustration coz his wife pressured him to look for more money.

One the way to the Jusco supermarket to look for water to wet out throats due to so much laughing, I saw the Dr.Soho’s foot therapy booth. It is for removing of callus and minimizing the cracks on the heel. Since it is my birth day, I spend! RM68 for the scrapping (very ticklish), cutting, polishing, massaging and foot sauna to make the skin on my feet soft. Since it is quite expensive, I was expecting free gift like a promotional pen but none. It took around 1 hour so I released hubby to go to his shop to pay his staff salary.

Before

On of the steps…cutting away my dead skin.

After.

It does look better but not to my expectation. I want baby smooth heel!

While waiting for hubby to come, I went to shop for my children’s Christmas clothes. Jusco having sale.

Then I went took look for my birthday present; another lingerie. I am so picky that the one hubby bought for our anniversary has only been worn twice and then it is “where is it now ah?” The material rough mah, not comfortable to wear.

The lingerie at Jusco is quite cheap; the price is from RM29 to RM39 which made me so tempted to buy for my 3 lovers. But I did not, coz I worried some of them cannot fit in. hehe.

Time flies so fast when you are enjoying yourself. By the time we left Jusco, it was almost 5.30pm. Time to fetch the children home and to the clinic. My son was having fever. So dinner for the night was canceled.

Overall I had a very memorable birthday this year; thanks to my new found online friends and chat buddies and hubby willingness to finally spend money on food! Love you all.
