My son is pestering me to bring him to the music school again cos he told me he wanted to learn drums. Brought him over the last time and the music teacher told me his is a bit young and his leg couldn’t reach the drum’s pedal. He came with a disappointing looks. We were at the shopping mall last night and we came across a few units of Tama Drums on exhibit and my son can’t stop bugging me again. LOL.

Though equestrian is not so popular in our country but I am seeing it as one of the potential sports in the coming future. I would very much like to send my kids for equestrian classes but I foresee the fees of learning to ride a horse is not cheap. Before you can start on the classes, you needed to get them a set of comfortable equestrian clothing. Like what hubby said, it is an expensive hobby to invest for the kids.

Working in a company with two different location of offices is quite difficult especially when come to communicating. The R&D office is located in southern area where else the Marketing department is in Klang Valley. And dealing with a bunch of Jim Bang Gang via telephone is much more difficult. I would suggest to go with tele-conferencing and talking to them face to face on the screen! Anyway has just checked with HR and asked them whether can they get any conferencing services for this.

Read the Malay newspaper this morning and saw a news about a 1 year old baby got electrocuted by an entangled wire at home. Gosh… how could things like this happened to a 1 year old? I got freak out when I read news like this. While having lunch with hubby this afternoon, I told  him about his and this coming Saturday, he will go and get some flexible tubing to close up all the wiring at home.

Both me and hubby has been cleaning the garden at our house car porch. My dearest hubby wanted to clear off all the green potted plants from the garden and make a bigger space for the kids to play at the car porch. He even want to install a hunter outdoor ceiling fans at the car porch. With an outdoor ceiling fans, it will be cooler if the kids ride their bicycle at the car porch. LOL.

Dearest hubby just changed the car seat in my car into a leather car seat set. His friend who is a mechanic recommended him to change to leather car seat because it can last quite long and it won’t get dirty fast if you maintained it well. Apart from that, he also bought a few bottles ofleather cleaning products. Guess what? … He has been polishing the leather seat almost every week. Hahaha.

It is hard to shed the extra pounds on your body as you age. This happen to me and it is just so hard just to shed off two pounds! Sigh… A friend of mine always told me the most effective way to reduce your weight fast is through diet pills. For me, I never believe that. Though you can see the results fast but it couldn’t maintained your weight as it is. My friend even asked me to go into the website and read through the healthy trim reviews.Well, I still think the best way is to exercise regularly. What do you think?

Mother’s day is round the corner and can you imagine how time flies? I was browsing my yearly planner and only realized that I will be out of the country on Mother’s Day week. I will be in Shanghai for work for 2 days and will extend the trip on my own for another 3 days. I felt so bad now as I have yet to tell Dearie Suki and the kids I will be travelling on that week. That’s me, always give the last minute surprise to the poor hubby at home. LOL. For those who are celebrating Mother’s Day do check it out the deals on teleflora orders.
