They were right above me and it was awesome! I was so worried that the sparks will drop into my eyes. 
This year we are going to have DIRECTV Specials for Chinese New Year. I am sure there will be lots of interesting show and movies during this festive holiday. I am one that does not like to go visiting during CNY. Not that I don’t like meeting close relatives. I dread going in and out of the car under the hot scorching sun. It is like going into an oven after each house we visited. If possible, I want to stay at home, watch DIRECT TV Specials and entertain guess that I hardly know.
DIRECT TV Offers are too good to resist. I think I can use my baby as an excuse to stay home this year since my 9.5mo baby is still breastfeeding on demand. I can’t be “flashing” my boobs to those relatives that I only meet once a year.
Oh ya! Hubby has to attend church on that day too coz he will be on duty. So we got to wait for him to come home before we start visiting. Meantime, I shall glue myself infront of the idiot box, munching on CNY cookies and watching DIRECTTV Specials while breastfeeding my baby to sleep. 
A few years back, we subscribed to Astro. Due to busyness, we hardly have time to sit in front of the idiot box so we unsubscribed Astro.
Last month we received a postcard from Astro offering free reconnection fee. The offer valid until 13th January 2010. We have no plan to subscribe to Astro again so I just chuck the postcard somewhere. A week after that my mom asked me to apply Astro for her coz the one she is having is being paid by someone else; she does not feel comfortable about it coz that someone else does not want to accept the monthly subscription fee from her.
That’s where the offer postcard comes in handy. I will reconnect mine and give the Astro card to my mom. Here is where the problem comes…
Call the number on the postcard (they are Astro’s agent).
Told me to call Astro to get new Astro card.
New Astro card received.
Call to activate the card BUT they know nothing about the offer I received. Told me they will call me back. After a few days, no call received.
Call the Astro agent again. They said kenot be, they must know. Told me they will send report and Astro will call me.
After a few days, no one call. Call again the agent, send report again. Told them that Astro will surely call me back after the offer expires. Mark my word!
A day before the offer expires, I called the agent again. They called me back informing my account will be activated in 3 days time.
A day after the offer expired, I called Astro asking whether they receive any report from their agent. They have no idea and told me they will call me back.
3 days later, Astro finally called me telling me that the offer has expired and they can’t waive the reconnection fee. Told me that they actually called me on the same day I called them.
Apalagi, I scolded her cow-cow. If they call, sure have miss call mah. Ini satu pun tarak. That was on the 2nd of January. It took them 14 days to call me again! After the offer expired as expected. After kena scolded cow-cow from me, then only she told me that they can waive the reconnection fee coz I unsubscribed a few years ago.
I asked, “Why do I have to scold you then only you said you can waive?” She kept quiet.
This people arh…cannot be soft with them. If not, you surely have to pay the reconnection fee.
And then hor, Astro called my sister informing her that she did not pay her latest bill. Padahal I paid for her already and Citibank confirmed having made the payment to Astro. Even threatened my sister that she will disconnected my sister’s Astro. I told my sister that if she calls her back, just tell her to disconnect. You think, we cannot live without Astro meh.
End of my ranting after a few days of silence. Very busy lar. 
Thanks to the internet, I am able to watch the latest season of CSI Miami on my desktop and at my own time. The last episode that I watched was S0811, a week before Christmas and since then, no more new episode is being uploaded. What happened? I miss watching dead people in those cheap hotels in panama city beach fl and how the CSIs find the killer with their high tech equipment; dunno real or not. I think they are still on holiday mood.
We live in a house with a huge compound. That gives me backache each time I sweep the fallen leaves on the ground. Big enough to play paintballs because we have so many trees around to hide behind them! Unfortunately, we still cannot afford to buy Proto SLG Paintball Guns. Maybe one day hubby will buy them; you see, each time hubby passes by the paintballs equipment at Giant, he will surely stop and admire them. I read that ZephyrPaintball.com has Paintball Gear with low prices and free shipping on paintball guns, paintball goggles, hoppers and paintball starter packages. I wonder whether they provide free shipping to Malaysia too.
You have got to watch this video.
Observe the facial expression of the judges and audience before and after she sings.
Never, never judge the book by its cover. Didn’t your Mommy teach you???
You can read more about her here.
We almost forgot about it!
For the past 7 years, hubby never forgets the day we registered our marriage because he cannot forget the incident that happened that morning. This future wife of his rejected the bouquet of roses he bought for her on the way to the registrar office.
You see, I was being very practical. All I knew was, on that day we are supposed to sign some papers and exchange rings to legalize our marriage. I never know that some would go there with bouquet of flowers.
Furthermore, we are on a very tight budget because the pastor of the church we attended advised us to have our wedding within 6 months from the day we got engaged; that was in December. The first thing when he handed me the bouquet, I asked how much was it? He said, “Forty.” I flipped! “RM40??? Why waste money? I don’t want it, you hold the flowers!”
Actually, I was upset that he did not discuss with me about it earlier. I think he wanted to surprise me but he got the bigger surprise which he can’t forget for the rest of his life! hahahaha
Back to “We almost forgot about it.” We only realised that today is our marriage anniversary at around 8pm when I was preparing dinner for my children because I feel like eating Satay Celup which they can’t because they can’t take spicy food.
Since it was raining heavily, eating Satay Celup has to be postponed. Hubby still wanted to go out to celebrate this special day. So I suggested we go watch a movie; The Curious Case of Benjamin Button. We had a quick bite; shared a plate of Fish and Chips at Marrybrown and rush for the 9.45pm show.
That is how we celebrated our 8th Year of being husband and wife legally. 
I am still awaiting for my 29″ TV. The TV belongs to my youngest sister’s boss who does not want it anymore due to some minor problem. My sister sent it for repair before her wedding in November and until today, she still have no time to collect it. My sister told me that I can have the TV since she has 2 units of 29″ TV in her home already. Since she is so, so busy, I have no choice but to wait and wait and wait. When the time comes, maybe I could even have enough saving to buy a plasma tv mount!
Have you watch Madagascar 2? If you have then you would know of a Hippo character name Moto Moto.
Hubby was watching the cartoon with the girls and my eldest said to her daddy that Moto Moto is him!
I totally agree with her association! The Hippo is huge, have broad shoulder and he dances like hubby too!
And they surely needs the fat burners to shed of the rounded tummy! hahaha
Hubby downloaded a few movies to my laptop recently. Unfortunately, my laptop speaker is not loud enough for certain movies and the screen is not big enough too. I suggested that hubby tried to connect my laptop to his 19″ LCD monitor and to his desktop speakers. It works!
So now, during the weekends after the children are asleep and we can’t do “other things”, we spend out time together watching movies.
