Names Names Names

I had always wondered how my name came about. According to mum, it was my grandmama who actually named me.

I love my name.. and think there's great meaning behind it. But whether it reflects the actual person.. hm.. i would like to think so...

*grins*

Since one of is going to welcome her little girl soon... thought it would be nice if some of us could give suggestions of names for her..

Whether or not our dear ~prettily aunty~ uses it... it will depend on her...

But our main purpose here is to list down a few names .... giving her other options in naming her precious...

1) Kendra ... ( i really like this name... and it goes well with Tham right? haha... and it's in the middle... so your kid won't be called 1st or last aphabetically)

2) Emma ... (one of my fav as well )

3) Grace ... is another all time fav... hopefully she grows up graceful and beautiful...

Hm.. can't think of any at the moment though....

Hey girls... any other suggestions???

I've been making cards.. quite a lot lately. Been therapeutic. Takes my mind off things that I shouldn't put too much attention to and shifts my attention to be more creative & hopefully make the people who purchased or received my cards --> happy :)

This is not going to be a post with many words... rather, it'll be one with many pictures. Hope you enjoy it :)

Being PREGNANT !!!

Being PREGNANT !!!!

8 months now and still counting …..

Pregnancy .......what a wonderful thing !!
It’ s a beautiful process ….imagine a tiny human being…alive in YOU !!
How GREAT the LORD is….what an amazing creation !!

These words have been on my mind since the day I found out that I was expecting with my 1st baby.
Both Hubby and me are blessed with a baby girl…all things PINK and PRETTY !!

The past 8 months just zoomed passed. Praise God , it has been quite a smooth pregnancy. No morning sickness , not much of cramps and no cravings. I also didn’t put on much weight…..only about 5kg up till my 7th month….was kinda worried about the weight but the Dr said baby is in the correct size n is healthy. Thank God for that !!
After all…the baby’s health matters the most….
Already…the baby is my priority ( of course Hubby Dearest is still very important and dear to me :) ) Each time we go somewhere…Hubby will always make sure I hold on to his hands… carry my bags ( I like to take lots of things whenever we go out etc like ‘pindah rumah’ …..chauffer me around ( my car mileage has been stagnant for quite a while since I no longer drive that often )…..and list goes on…
Shopping , my fav past time ….revolves around baby stuff…..no more clothes for daddy and mummy…it’s all for the BABY NOW !! You should check out the clothes that I have bought…the hair ribbons and headbands ….the stockings n mittens n booties….all so pretty and lovely !!!

As the due date draws nearer, I’m getting more anxious…can’t wait to see my baby gal !!
I pray that my little darling will be healthy, fully-formed with all senses intact….pray that she will grow up to be taller than the mummy ( thanks to daddy’s genes ) and pretty like the mummy ( haha…. :) ) Most importantly, pray that she grows up to be wonderful person, with both inner n outward beauty….

Wish me " A safe delivery !! "

Oops, I forgot about the title

When one forgets the username and password for this blog, there're 2 options she can think of: rummage her mailbox to look for them in one of the hundreds of emails, or ask her friends.



Which one? It has always been her policy to find the solutions herself before asking for help. But then hundreds of emails....... hmmmn....Maybe ask her friends? But then, sure kena one!


Thank goodness she has been lazy at deleting her emails.


Come to think of it, this probably reflects how 'often' she updates this blog and how 'blur' she can be at times. And she's still pretty blur after all these years.


For some reason this morning, she makes the effort to turn up 10 minutes early for a lecture, only to find the lecture theatre empty. Ahh, maybe it's the wrong street (after all Queensberry + Bouverie St sounds alike). So she went there, only to find the room empty again. "Maybe it's the wrong floor and maybe it's a good idea this time to check the venue in the computer lab". She found it finally and the class was right next to the computer lab.


There was also the airport story - nothing dramatic. It was one of those cases where a sequence of events led to the outcome - I think they call it the "Swiss Cheese" model where you stack multiple slices of cheese side by side and failure occurs when the holes are momentarily aligned. So she turned up 4 hours early to the airport (to catch a free ride) and decided on early check-in. She took this budget airline for the first time and assumed budget arline = budget counter check-in. And of course the computer system had to break down that morning, resulting in a long long long queue. She's got 4 hours, nothing to do - why not join the crowd. So after ~1.5 hours later when she was nearly there and could actually see the signs above the counters properly, it strucked her that she couldn't see the name of her airline. She found it eventually -few counters away, just opened, a totally different queue - much much much shorter.


And her stories go on and on......etc etc etc


It's neverending.... like how she forgot to put in a title for this post a few minutes ago.....

Rainy Days

It has just started to rain. And as usual, I’m getting sleepy, wishing that I was in bed.

Changed my current status in FB; trying to make this day as productive as possible. This seems to be quite fruitful till now. The rain has come… my customers have gone. And I’m feeling the soothing and sedating effects of the rain & wind.

*Yawn…*

Sales have been pretty slow for the past 2 month, feeling the pinch of the economic downturn now. Hope bad times like these would not drag on too long. “Have Faith!!! Good times will soon come. Persevere and we will reap the fruits of our patience and hard work.” The phrase which keeps playing like a tape recorder in my mind, reminding and motivating me.

*ganbateh ne…*

*Fighto! Fighto! Fighto!*

Was buried in paperwork and long-winded customers since this morning. Just made a cup of coffee and enjoying the calming effects of caffeine in my system. Life’s simple pleasures.

My blog entry…

Hope it doesn’t sound too relax..making you sleepy reading it. haha

It's been a while

It's been a while since any of us posted any article up here. Momo's the most active, I guess, compared to the rest of us. But even the most active can get disheartened if nobody else contributes.

I know I have been slacking too but I guess I felt 'lazy' seeing just Momo and myself posting. Momo has more perserverance than me-lah :P

What I want to say is, it doesn't take a lot to create a blog, but it also doesn't take a lot to cease its existence. It takes collective action to keep it running, not just on the effort of one person.

We agreed to post anything at all that happens in our daily lives. So, it doesn't have to be earth-shattering news or discovery, dearies, it can be whatever you see on the way to work, how you felt that day, what you did at home (cook, wash, etc), where you went/is going, what movie you watched? It can be anything. Or just a photolog. You can just post pictures. At least it keeps the blog alive.

I have 2 blogs to upkeep, this and my personal blog. It is a little daunting to find interesting things to write for both sites but if each of us are willing to contribute, then I guess it makes the other contributors feel more intrigued to write too. And no, it's not right to blog from work or write during work. You have internet connection at home. Write it at home. Don't use the excuse that you don't use the computer at home. It's whether you want to contribute or not. If you don't have internet connection at home, why not compose the post first, save it and then upload it in the office. That only takes a few minutes and will not jeopardize your career. Some are luckier and am able to blog from work but ah well, life is not fair, ain't it? :P

Will we all take the time to continue this blog? Or will its existence cease slowly but surely in the near future?
