Mood: In Love**

I just love weddings and that is what I’m doing in Singapore this week. Attending my niece’s wedding ceremony.

I love everything about wedding… the bride and groom, the bridal dais, the flowers, the guest with the glamorous clothing and of course the food! I also love the mood that it sets me in.. all lovey and romantic as I reminisced my own wedding and the feelings that enveloped me on that day.. and since I’m in the mood for love… here’s a quiz that tells me..

My Love is Blue

When you love someone, you give your heart entirely to them. You believe love is an unconditional, unselfish act. (Sooo true… I give My ALL) You don’t love half-way. You are “all in” whenever you are in love, and you don’t hold back. (nope.. i don’t hold back!) You find it easy to fall in love. You accept people as they are, and you even can love someone’s flaws. (I love the good and all the flaws.. the same way I expect them to do the same to me ) Because you are so loving and caring, you are incredibly easy to love in return. Your heart is open and ready to be filled. ( I hope so!. Do you love me?..lol!)

What Color Is Your Love?

And here’s a shout out to my niece, Erwani and her husband, Irwan, who got solemnized today at about 4.30pm.
May they have a lifetime of happiness and love!

Cheerio…

Mama Had A Seizure

I was checking out some beautiful pictures of Minka Aire fans online when the house phone rang at 11.30pm.

It was Abah and we just knew something was wrong. It seems Mama just had a seizure. Although she is sleeping soundly now, Abah is worried as this is the first time she had it since the hospital stay in December. He wants to bring her to the doctor tomorrow. He wanted Azwaj to bring them there but since he knows my trip back to Singapore is also on Friday morning, Abah just wanted to confirm timing and availability.

Oh wow!.. This really puts a damper on my mood.. I hope everything is ok when I’m gone..Worse case scenario I postpone my trip by one day or not go at all, which would leave my mommy disappointed… hmm..

Random Rambling

Azwaj really got me breaking sweat yesterday when he called to let me know Mama might be staying at our place for a while. As I mentioned in my other blog, I went on super LJ mode, mopping the floor, cleaning the Toilets and even spring cleaning the guest room so that Mama and Abah would be comfortable, only to be told that they are not coming after all 🙁

Oh well, nothing like a little stressed situation to get the laziness out of the system eh? lol! … Anyway, I can’t believe that today is already Friday. Where did my week go? I still remember last Saturday when I picked my songs for Music Monday and now it’s time to pick another three song AGAIN.. lol!

I still got tons to do before going back to Singapore next Friday to attend my niece’s wedding. There’s custom banners to do and layout to finish. Am also hoping Awan would be ok enough to visit the vet to get spayed on Monday and wishing that the incision would not be too big so that there will be no need to revisit the vet to open any stitches (or so Doc Sharon told me).

So much thing.. so little time to do it.. Life is good 😉

Cheerio…

Rambling On..

With everyone sighing everywhere about the economy, I’m also sighing each time I think about dieting, detox and health in general. I recently read a quicktrim reviews online and it seems “The Kardashian” sisters are marketing the product. They claim that not only does the product reduce cellulite, it also cleanse and detoxify the body. If indeed this is true and if the The Kardashian sisters are anything to refer to, then I must say the product is indeed effective.

Anyone tried it lately?

Exhausted

It’s been a while since I pull an all nighter. The situation with mama simply doesn’t allow me to spend as much time online as I use to. But.. with so much work I have to sacrifice sleep tonight to make sure most of it get done before the deadline. But LJ can only function so much without sleep so I’m hitting the sack now and hopeful to wake up by noon to bring lunch for mama and abah.

I’ve taken all my vitamins, even the prenatal vitamins supplements are in the list because of their high iron and folate content and that is important to keep my hormones in check.

Good night and see you later peeps!

This is NOT LJ…lol!

I Got the Hair Loss Blues

And if wrinkles are not enough to keep me awake at night, I got to worry about hair loss too?

You see my late father (rest in peace Ayah) had a receding hairline and his sisters, my aunts, all experienced thinning hair. Now, I noticed that my hair has been thinning a while back but I took it in stride because I used to have LOTS of hair and I hated it and when it started to thin, freaky me, actually loved it..lol! However, I want it to stop thinning and dropping already coz I don’t want to be bald! Yikes!

Any tips on hair loss preventions peeps?

A Test of Faith

Who’s not looking for more job nowadays? I know I am despite already being so busy but with the economy situation, with all prices going up all the time, it is no wonder people are sighing everywhere. A recently unemployed friend, who is on a finance job search also voiced out her concerns to me today and worst with five kids in tow, life is definitely not a bed of roses for her these days 🙁

I believe God only test us with what he thinks we can handle ya! So hang on in there everyone!

Cheerio…

Wrinkles, wrinkles go away!

I have a pet peeve and that is wrinkles. From articles I read, problems arising from having dry or combination skin, like mine, is that one is more prone to wrinkles if the skin is not taken care of properly.

I remember that since I read that article, I’ve been diligently putting on that moisturizer each day and night without fail. When I turned 40 last year, I started looking out for wrinkles. A said wrinkles, just as white hair, are signs of maturity. I just snorted at that! Lol!

Now here’s a question. Do you actually go for anti wrinkle treatment before or after you get wrinkles?

Anyone?

Lose Fat not Water

I need apidexin. Yeap that is what I need. I think I have more fat then water in me so from what I read, apidexin makes you lose FAT not just water.

I’m far from leading a healthy lifestyle. I sit in front of the computer most times all day, drinking coffee or tea, munching on popcorn or chocolate bread in the middle of night, like now, and never exercising. So yeah I need apidexin Now!

Detox Time

I’ve been having this indigestion problem since yesterday. Not sure what is causing it but it sure is irritating. I tried taking antacid but it didn’t work so I am reluctant to try again tonight. Instead I took vitagen and it sort of eased up a bit.

Perhaps it’s time for a detox and even colon cleansing session. Yeap I always found doubling up my detox session with colon cleanser always makes me feel “cleaner” inside. Although I found some colonix reviews that was quite interesting, I think I would still stick to my regular brand of colon cleanser for now.

Time to feel “cleaner” inside!

My Other Favourite Drink **

Another drink I enjoy apart from my coffee is Hot Chocolate with plenty of marshmallows! Yummy!!! So I can’t resist taking this quiz about “what flavor hot chocolate am I” say about me..

You Are Double Chocolate Hot Chocolate

When you do anything, you do it big. You live large, and you don’t hold back. (True!) You either love or hate things with a passion. And since you love hot chocolate, of course you want to double down. (Oh so… true!) You’re the type of person most likely to make your own hot chocolate. Only you can make it as decadent as you like it. (hmm.. i love the way Azwaj does it too!!) And you’re also likely to go for the good stuff – real chocolate. No wimpy cocoa packets for you! (Nothing but rich and sinful hot chocolate with both marshmallow and whip cream!)

What Flavor Hot Chocolate Are You?

Mama's Clinic Visit

Just returned home in time to avoid the heavy rain.

We were at the Oncology Clinic of the KL General Hospital this morning where Mama had her second clinic visit since her hospitalization and radiotherapy treatment in December . The doctor was really impressed with Mama’s progress as she is now able to control her hand movement well and her lungs (which was partially removed due to the cancer in May) is also doing very well, no wheezing and not making any strange noises. The doctor also said that with proper physiotherapy Mama may even get strong enough to walk again!

Abah asked the doctor about Mama’s short memory span and also her state of confusion and was told that is normal for patients with brain tumor. Overall, the clinic visit went great and Mama’s next appointment is on 11 February 2010.

Once home, mama was tired but we managed to feed her lunch and her medicine before she totally fell into a deep slumber. Since abah said he could manage for the afternoon, we left to get some Anilox for Azwaj’s client and then hurry home before it rained.

The Brain Tumor is Acting Up

Mama have been rambling non-stop from yesterday. She started spelling her name and everyone else’s for that matter. She started calling tv stands for example as something else and she also started counting non-stop.

She also called us by different names. For example, she started calling out my name yesterday and I rushed to her side.. but she said..

Mama: LJ LJ
LJ: Yes Mama I’m here
Mama: LJ call LJ.. I want her to ask her how I do I go to sleep
LJ: Mama, this is LJ.. just close your eyes and try to sleep ok
Mama: No No.. I want LJ to tell me how to sleep
LJ: Mama, look at me and tell me who I am
Mama: LJ
LJ: Ok.. so I’m here
Mama: I want the real LJ (pinching my check, quite painfully I might add)
LJ: Oh mama..

I then went to search Abah and ask him what to do and he told me she might mean someone else but the name that comes out would be someone else’s and true enough when Abah pestered her to think real hard who she wanted to see, she said another name and it was her daughter, my sister-in-law.

Sigh…

Sleep Mama Sleep

Not sure why but it is so difficult to get Mama to sleep. It’s not that she is not tired because you can actually see that she is whenever she starts rambling and does not make sense. Even the sleeping pill that the doctor gave her didn’t work. This is really taking it’s toll on Abah who takes care of her at night because if she does not sleep, Abah can’t get his sleep either.

She’s been doing so well but since she stop getting her sleep, she’s becoming weaker and more grumpy and that is definitely not helping her situation. We’re thinking making music can lull her to sleep. Perhaps we should look into some ipods options and select soothing tunes to help her to relax and get her much needed sleep.

Sleep Mama Sleep!

Dream Floors

I’ve always loved the look of oak flooring and how it sets a certain mood in a room and dreamed of having it installed in our homes one day (as unrealistic as it may sound with our cats and their habit of scratching on everything).

That being said perhaps the best choice for us (if we do decide to redo the flooring in our current apartment) is to consider laminate flooring, cheap laminate flooring that is :). In fact to make it really economical, perhaps we can even just buy the laminates and learn how to lay laminate flooring ourselves. That ought to save us a lot of money 😉

Places like UK Flooring Direct has great offers and prices for all sorts of flooring. From laminates to solid wood, from vinyl to carpets, you are simply spoilt for choices and they even include installation guide with your purchase!

Dream floor… when will you be a reality??

Cheerio…

Tiring Day

Our day started early this Monday at 8am with me and Azwaj bringing breakfast for Abah and Mama. But by the time we arrived, Abah had just settled Mama’s breakfast and morning wash and she was already lying comfortably on the bed.

According to Abah, Mama’s condition has not been good since yesterday because she didn’t have any appetite and have not been eating well. Abah suspects that the cancer had gone to the bone but can’t be sure without proper testing and since mama’s condition has not improved, the doctor didn’t want to carry out any more tests on her. As Mama slip in and out of sleep, Abah told us that Mama had said she was going somewhere soon and when asked where, she said she didn’t know where and when but she just knows that she is going. Could it just be the brain tumor speaking?

After helping Abah out with the laundry, Mama requested for me to clip her fingernails. It seems that each time Azwaj tries to do it, Mama would pull her hands or legs. However I managed to do it and all through the day, I can see her “admiring” her nails.. lol!..

Then comes lunch which could last anything between 30 minutes to an hour. Fortunately though this time around she had her appetite back and she ate a bowl of porridge, two slices of bread that Abah laced with some supplements, a banana fritter, and a pear. In the meantime, Abah took this opportunity to do some of his own paperwork like paying bills, checking out motorhome warranty and what not.

Another thing about Mama’s situation is that she can hardly sleep and she dose in and out of sleep every 2 or 3 minutes. When she wakes up, she want company and is always asking for reassurance and she would go like “is this ok”, “am I doing it right” or “can I do this” etc etc.. . So we take turns to always be around her and reassuring her.

Next, we left at around 3pm to do our own grocery shopping. We only later return to Mama and Abah at around 6.30pm. I then fed Mama dinner (another round of good appetite.. I think she enjoys me feeding her.. lol), had our dinner there and return home at around 9pm totally exhausted.

My day is still not done. I still have tonnes to do online but I am so sleepy already.. sigh!!

Predictions for 2010 *

Last year my Chinese Horoscope had great things to say about the year 2009 for me. It predicted great opportunities and me making great progress in my career… and guess what, it was true. My online business prospered like I never imagined and great and new opportunities did open up for me.

This year, my zodiac horoscope for 2010 promised Pisceans another great year in career, finance, health and love department.

It is predicted that my professional status would improve, there would be good gains from investments and speculation (which sets me to think to hold on to that investment portfolio for another year) and marriage and love ties would also remain strong. Health wise, Pisceans are predicted to remain healthy throughout the year though we are advised to stay off junk food (oh no!)

On that note, I’m so looking forward to 2010. I hope you are too! Happy New Year Everyone!
