Why no update blog?

So sorry for not blogging for so long. I was very busy recently…with company’s events and busy looking for a nursery for Samuel.

Ok… Let’s talk about the company’s events. Last Friday we had the Long Service Award Dinner for all the 5 and 10 years employees. I was selected to be the usher for that night. Overall the event was held successfully and the food was nice. Not much photos to share, just some of the photos of the dishes we had and photos taken together with colleagues.

Then on Monday (18 Oct) we had a surprise birthday celebration for 2 of our beloved colleagues, Sha and Has, at Rashitah’s house. Rashitah sent an email to invite us to her house for a “makan-makan” session, said wanna celebrate belated Raya and early Hari Raya Haji. Both Sha and Has were so surprised when they found out that it’s for their birthday. Food was nice too. Below are some photos to share.

~Here are the food we had. Laksa Sarawak, sardine puff, lasagna, jelly, honey dew and so on~

On Wednesday, Diana and I had a girls lunch out together. Mmm… nothing special, just wanna hang out together, enjoy some nice food and had some fun chit chat with each other. We had pizza at Pizza Hut, Giant Kulim. After that we went for an “express shopping” to get some hair accessories for Nani, Diana’s daughter as she is going to present a dance on her school concert this Sat.

A lot of food huh… that’s why I never dare to update about how my progress of tying to lose those extra kgs… :p However, praise the Lord as the number is still the same, 55.5kg even though I skip quite a few times of Herbalife. I saw this blogger, who is one of the successful example of manage to lose weight by consuming Herbalife. She has stopped taking Herbalife as she has achieved her ideal weight. But she continue to consume the tea mix, which I believe that is the secret of staying on the ideal weight where she still can still take any food she likes. She actually take the photos of all the food she had everyday. I think it is very good as she get to monitor her intake. Maybe I should do that too, so that I will be more aware on what I am taking and better reminder to myself that, I need to stop eating like a hungry ghost but to control… *ha, Hope it’s not “just think only” thing*

As for the nursery thing, David and I finally decided to send Samuel to nursery or day care center. We want him to go to school, learn how to socialize with other children and hope that he can learn something there like ABC or 123. So far we have visited about 5 centers – 2 Q-Dees centers, 2 D-Monte centers and the other one is Krista Kindergarten. For the time being, Q-Dees is on top of our list. Both David and I love the syllabus of Q-Dees and the teaching method the teachers used to teach the 3 years old toddlers. We love D-Monte too as they have a branch near our house. As for Q-Dees, the nearest branch is near to our company. If we were to send Samuel to D-Monte, then he does not have to wake up so early to go to the school. But in case of emergency, David and I need to travel all the way from Kulim to Butterworth which will take us more than 30 mins. On the other hand, if we send Samuel to Q-Dees, which is near to our work place, then Samuel will need to wake up very early so that we can send him to the center before we go to work. The advantage is we can get to him faster in case of emergency. Hhhmmm…. Headache… Anyway, the most important of all, we hope that Samuel can get use of the new environment as soon as possible. Both centers provide us 1 to 2 weeks of free trial session. So, let see how Samuel will be doing… :)   By sending Samuel to day care, then we don’t have to trouble our parents to come over again to take care of Samuel again since they can’t really get used of the life over here. Pray that everything will be fine.
