adam is short-sighted ...

just like his mum. he started wearing spectacles last year when he complained he could not see words on the white board at school. as a concerned mother, i brought him for eye check-up and the result - his power for the specs was -1.75 for right eye and -1.25 for left eye. it's quite high for his age. so i bought him a pair at a student rate which cost me RM150. i reminded him to take a really good care of it and he said he wanted to wear it for distance reading and watching tv only. because of that reasons, he left it under his school table when he was not reading and forgot to bring it home. the specs is not even a year old and it's gone.

of course it is understandable that school children will often loss their things at school especially the stationeries but losing the other eye sight is a little costly. if i dont replace it, he will miss what's on the white board. if i do replace it, will he be losing it again? what guarantee do i have. maybe i should just insured it eh... :D

calling all optical stores with good discounts... here i come!!

the amazing race asia season 2 on V-night...

i received a stalk of red rose from dear hubby 2 days before V-day. thks dear! talking abt red rose, a fan of noryn nor asked me a favour to pass her a bouquet of red roses plus her favourite patchi chocolate on the eve of V-day. with a little help from my sister Tini, hubby and i drove to noryn's place somewhere in KL and deliver it around 10ish. it was a surprise gift for her.

and last night, we wanted to have our dinner at tgif in subang but it was fully booked. as most of interesting places were taken up too, we decided to go zul yahya's restaurant at sect 13 for their delicious nasi lemak. the dinner took us less than 1 hr coz i wanted to be home by 9pm for the last race of the amazing race asia (TARA) season 2 on axn. although i missed few episodes, i managed to watch the last 6 episodes and it was really exciting to see the couples from Malaysia and not forgetting the hunky guys from Philippines. who wins the USD100,000? lets find out here...

those interested to be on TARA season 3, the application is now on till Feb 25th. i'm interested but leaving my kids for dont-know-how-long, i think i'll skip...

not a mandarin orange...

since my graduation last year, all the study books were nicely arranged on a cabinet in my office. i have been long to read some of it but the desire has yet to come. so today, with not much contemplation, i picked mandarin module.

i still remembered the first mandarin lesson in my 3rd year of studies. in 3 semesters, we learned to converse with correct intonation, listen to mandarin conversation and write simple chinese characters. despite of being fascinated with the language, i was actually struggling. i may be able to converse some of it but to be able to listen and understand a conversation was a frustrating moment. eventually, i completed the papers without repeating any of it. alhamdulillah..

after couple of years not practising the language, it becomes so new to me. i totally forgot almost every word of it. it's time for me to pick up what's left behind. for a start, "ni hao ma?. wo hen hao. xiexie.."

i love holidays...

nowadays, i always look forward for public holidays, let it be state holidays or national holidays, the jolly good feeling of counting the days is just there. so the 4 days of CNY holiday last week, i decided to do whatever i can.

like most years, i never missed visiting my boss' house for CNY and his wife will not miss serving her favourite dish - shanghai noodles. this time around, i learnt to mix and stir it well and taste the deliciousness. hannah t, a sexy petite model and tv host was also there with reymee (formerly from innuendo) and i get a chance to greet her. she met each of the visitors just to say she's leaving. how sweet!!! surprisingly, my hubby did not recognised her till i told him later that day.

after filled with food, we went to sunway lagoon for the kids to enjoy their holiday. as expected, the crowd was there but we had fun anyway.

the rest of the holidays was dine-in and out, watched tv and sleep. that is called storing up body fats.. :D worst part was i missed the yoga classes. so this week, i really need to flex back my body. enjoy!!
