angels in disguise?

what's currently on my Desktop Background in the office. i can't believe i've only just uploaded last Raya's pics into the computer, haih~~~

now... if only they look like this 24/7, all angelic-like... life would be perfect =P~~~~~~~

and another short conversation with Dayana yesterday:

dayana: i wanna see Tok Ami!
me: Dayana, can Dinara stay with Tok Ami?
dayana: no, i'm not giving you Tok Ami! (angry voice)
me: T_T

wrapmania update

so... which ones are a keeper? which ones are HTF? surely one does not need that many. confessions of a wrapaholic, part 1.

edited date to have it be less conspicuous.

wednesday ramblings

time flies... (ok so no wordless Wednesday today haha)


are you a fan of those mink carpets? Significant Other is. we bought a replacement mink carpet for the kids' play area at Nilai 3 last weekend so we took this one upstairs to our room. vacuumed it clean with our Rainbow and we're good to go.

Significant Other prefers to lounge on the floor now rather than on the bed. lol.


and look what just came for me in the mail. ever heard of De Veil? you should drop by their page and take a look. i always seem not not have a shawl strategically lying around whenever i need it (be it raya, funeral, formal event, for example). so i got myself a couple of inners (from De Veil and Tudung Mel), and a couple of snoods from DV in what lix calls them 'boring colors'. lolz.

i've never heard of snoods my entire life. my all time fave is tudung bawal. unfortunately, they've gone out of trend. hahaha.

our topic of our daily discussion ranges from

babywearing gear - oldskool wedding photos - baking/apam/cakes - shoes - lobsters/sotong - shawls/inners...

did i miss anything? =P~

useful tracking websites

for those of you who rajin shopping online and have that habit of stalking tracking your parcel, here's a couple of links for tracking purposes (also, for my reference):

tracking items from United States please click here.
usually takes a maximum of 3 weeks. fastest record ever was 1 week, depending on what type of shipping you choose.

tracking items from Russia please click here.
Russian post would usually take a month or so to arrive. their customs seem to take their time inspecting parcels before releasing them.

tracking items from Netherlands please click here.

tracking items from Canada please click here.

never ask for surface mail, else your parcel will arrive at your doorstep 3 months later, haha. opt for airmail and do yourself justice by paying abit more for shipping if you insist on getting your parcel earlier than 3 months =P (better yet, avoid purchases from Canada if you do not wish to go through all that hassle). or you can opt for your parcel to transit in the States, but only if you have someone to get the parcel to you from there.

if i have any more useful tracking sites, i will add them here.

dayana pun pernah chubby

people kept calling her kurus, kecik, kurus. and she still is. the result of being a highly skilled picky eater. makan what she wants when she wants. pastu malam2 minum susu banyak sampai bocor diaper T_T grrrrrrrrrrr.

anyway, i was going through older photos when i came across two photos of Dayana that i'd like to share here. i might have not noticed or forgotten then, but pics do not lie (unless you edit the photo pakai photoshop, then main tipu la tu).

observe the blurry iPhone pics:



taken when she was around 1 year old. she was really chubby then, wasn't she? don't ask me what sort of expression she was trying to make in the latter photo. lol.

she's just built tiny, like her mom.

swimming again

on the rare occasions that i get to goyang kaki at work, here's a super quik update!

remember my previous post on my super swimmer here?

well, we never got around to bring the kids to any other swimming outings after we got SR rented out and the house pool is currently converted into a fish aquarium. since Dad and Amal was around and Significant Other is currently on hiatus from flying skool, he took the family for an afternoon swim while i was at work.

as expected, the kids still don't like the water. sigh. maybe a beach holiday is in order.

some photos Uncle Amal took at the pool. seems like they did enjoy themselves somewhat. lol. see how big Dinara is now compared to then. hehe.

Daddy bought them a set of beach toys

Dayana seems more eksaited playing WITH water than playing IN it

she fits the float nicely now! *luv luv*
