Happy Chinese New Year!
Let me grab a chance to greet you Happy Chinese New Year everyone! I'm only having short posts these days as I don't have a extra pair of hands and mind to get through my days and my 24 hours isn't enough... in short, "I'm just a busy mom".
I hope everyone is having a good time this 4-day weekend!
Ox, give us a good head start!

VISIT TO LANGKAWI
Travelling with a 9 month-old baby without a nanny around, it would have been great to have a comfort of good hotel service but it wasn’t the case so at the end, I was all stressed out. First, the chalet that we had was in the middle of nowhere in the jungle which, I wasn’t expecting in the first place. I have searched the net or maybe I should have searched further that when they meant garden facing room, I was expecting it to be a well manicured garden where we could have a peaceful walk around with nice landscaping and all, but it is exactly the opposite. There is nowhere to walk around because the surroundings are heavily-densed forest with slopes and dangerous cliffs. Somehow, after a few unpleasant conversations with staffs and the manager we managed to transfer to a chalet near the beach.
The spa is one of the few things I’ve enjoyed during our short stay. Had two hours of blissful aromatic massage which was so great. It was just what I needed.
Some great shots taken from underwater world which made the visit worthwhile and I’m just as happy as a bee. More pictures are posted in Multiply.
HOLIDAYS @ HOME
Food was great with hubby as the chef. Everything was cooked in the brick oven which he made mid 2008. He cooked becoff which is authentic French cuisine, Pork Belly with super crispy crackling, roasted whole rack of pork ribs, roasted chicken, smoked tuna and marlin, home made ham and lovely bread. Wine and spirits were at hand all the time, nothing could I ask more for a feast!
……2008 that was…..
The year 2008 was the most significant year for me because it’s the year that I officially became a mother. Nothing can beat that feeling of fulfillment. Went home 3 times in a row this year in July, September and December. Had our first family Christmas and ended the year with a Big Bang @ home.
In some other aspects, or undesirable aspects I should say, some relationships had been chipped off from in-laws which I don’t know how it just happened. I wish I could just patch things up easily, but things went messy so quickly leaving me unjustified with painful allegations. I’m not really a big talker as a person and I do believe that sometimes the best answer is simply “silence”.
Every year that passes by doesn’t only make me realize that I’m getting older but just a little bit wiser. Oh well.. yes, I do tell myself I’m old when I see my nephews and nieces growing so quickly. It was just like last year when I enjoyed annoying them with their innocence but now, they’ve gone wiser. They make fun of me instead of me making fun of them and I just settle in a fake smile telling myself they’ve known much already. I’m somehow quietly glad.
What’s at store for us for 2009? We don’t know and nobody knows, we could be moving somewhere… prospects,
