*snap* OH NO!

I have not really settled in down at my new place as in familiarising myself with my routine just yet.

I try to stick to my usual, such as everything there is to do to care for Jaden -feeding, bathing, making sure he takes his nap, have his usual play and fun time and yea, some me and him time for TV sessions.

It still includes the diciplining stuff when he misbehaves, such as pressing buttons on his father's CPU, opening the glass cabinets and climbing up high on the sofa attempting head stands. *sigh* and the times when he cries for no reason, so I also whack only lah, for no reason.

Since the apartment pool is shaded from the sun even if it is 2 or 3pm, I try to bring him go and swim as often as I can, unless Aunty Flo visits me but so far, I have brought him down to the pool for about 4 times now and he absolutely loves it. He loves it till he protests when I wrapped him up tightly in towel and drag his ass up back home.

One day, I decided that I shall join him in the pool and so I did. Clad in my Adidas bikini, I made my way down the pool and played with him in the adult pool, introducing him to a bigger space other than his own baby pool. He is a bit wary about the big pool but he clung on to me like a baby koala, splashing water as he goes so its good news I guess. I need to dig his crab float out soon so he can go and enjoy himself out with me in the adult pool soon. Its in one of the boxes in there somewhere. Still. Yes, I have not unpack completely just yet because renovation was just complete last Monday and I didn't want to move things about lest I forget about where I put them in the first place.

back to my swimming experience with Jaden. After I thought enough of the adult pool for him and took him back to the baby pool, I decided to park my ass in the baby pool with Jaden when I heard a pop and instinct told me to quickly put my both hands to my back.

Yes, my bikini's clip snapped. No one is at the pool area but I have apartments all looking down at me. Who knows who is staring right? I tried my very best to lock the clip back in place but I couldn't no matter how hard I tried. So in the end, after like 15 minutes of trying not to 'accidentally' let go of the bikini, I took my black polo tee and wore it over and have to scoop a boy who is having his time of his life at the pool.

Sorry Jaden but Mommy has a wardrobe malfunction and it needs immediate attention. *sigh* Can you actually believed it? Thank my lucky stars I decided to wear a tee down instead of just wrapping my towel around me..

I think its time I shop for a new bikini/swimsuit to avoid embarassments such as this again.. It could only happen to me... of all things.. have you ever heard of anyone who broke a vacuum cleaner before?

I will leave that for next time. *shakes head*

Ours...

It has been almost a month since I last really used the Internet. It is only at this time when I realized that now, without the Internet, it is quite hard to stay connected to what’s happening around the world and you.

The reason is that SimonYap clan has shifted to a new pad, we call our own. Not monstrous big but big and comfy enough for the whole of SimonYap clan and I am loving every inch of the new place. Every part of the new place is my favourite, ok, maybe not Hubby’s area cause it is ‘his’ but well, other than that, I love it. I love my toilet very much. I love the fact that it is all renovated to MY choice.. maybe next time I will request for the rain showerhead but for now, I am more than satisfied with it!

Jaden is adapting well to the new pad as well. At first, he still prefers the old place, I suspect due to familiarity but now, he learnt that he has ample space to do his jumps and turns and boy, he loves our bed best! Yes, we co-sleep together and surprisingly, the bed is big enough to fit all three of us in! Wonderful isn’t it?

Last year, a month or two before Jaden turned two, we took him to his kai-yeh’s pool and he was so scared of the water. Now, that our place has the swimming pool facility as well, I took him for a test-swim and he absolutely loves it, till he refused to get out of it. We practically have to kidnap him back up home!

Cheekie and Cheeko have found their spots at the new pad too. Cheekie has taken up the post of a door guard and Cheeko guards the kitchen area. This should be their third time moving house together with Hubby and I. From Penang –Lily –Pelangi – newpad!

We are just settling in and there are lots to be done, to be cleared before we can start opening doors to family and friends. =)

My lawyer friend sent me a saman =)

I have two bestfriends. The bestest ever one could have and now, one is finally getting married. Its for real! I remember just asking her, if I am not mistaken, early this year or was it late last year when she was down here with me in KL. I asked her when does she think her boyfriend is going to propose to her and she said, probably this year -2010 and yes, he did! With a pink diamond encrusted on her tiny fingers, she is finally going to be someone’s wife!

I am feeling so ecstatic for her. Looking back at how we practically grew up together, laughing and crying together, the tragic relationships we had with the opposite sex.. finally its now time to swap stories about being married and all. If only the other bestfriend could find her soul mate and get hitched too but I wouldn’t want to hurry that. I believe marriage should only happen when both are comfortable with each other, trusting and shares a loving relationship with one another. Loving is the one main word that both should have for each other in order to make a marriage work. Sometimes rushing into a marriage just won’t work. I am quite worried for another girlfriend of mine, who has just announced to me that she is engaged and she just met the guy like two three months ago..

Marriage is all about commitments and not saying ‘break up’ easily like when you are only in the girlfriend/boyfriend relationship. Marriage is somehow long term and when you decide to say ‘I do’ to that person, you just don’t back out from it because things don’t work. Unless you are in some violent, unchangeable gambling habit relationship, then maybe out is the answer to save both yourselves from more damage.

Wait! This is supposed to be some happy post about my best girl getting married, not some sob story about how marriage can be bad.. =) I am only an amateur in this line.. I should leave it to experienced married couples for these kinda talks.

This year itself, I have already got two samans. One from Jackson, my god-bro and well, Gwen. I am just waiting to hear from the other girlfriend of mine, and that would mean three... although there is Sam, whom I heard got engaged a few days before Gwen too.. =) =) double joy! So with wedding dinners as a reason, Jaden and I will be hitting back Penang end of June for about two weeks. Yay! Another one end of this year or next! YAY YAY YAY!!!!!!!!

Internet connection is vital

to feel that you are still alive and kicking in this time and age.

Internet connection at home is dead for now.. and not being able to be online even if it meant a few minutes in a day sucks big time..

and don't even mention about my Astro being cuckoo that some channels are missing.. especially my freaking important 303!

Well, I am praying hard that by next week, life will resume back normal for the whole SimonYap clan + Astro (this week if possible)

so till then, yea, I am still alive and kicking..
