Such is Life

9am : Alarm rang

917am : Jumped out of bed, bathed and got ready

945am : Take baby stroller down to the basement carpark and put it inside the car first

10am : Washed baby bottle properly and make milk for Jaden

1005am : Woke Jaden up and let him drink his milk

1020am : Bathed Jaden and got him ready for his school

1050am : Apply make up, final check on baby diaper/wipes and socks

1105am : Warm car engine, put in gear, ready to drive out...

1107am : Stop car, got down, take a look..

1115am : Upstairs putting Jaden to bed... AGAIN



why?

just because the front tyre by the driver's side is SO PUNTURED, until the rims also look as if it wants to pop out!

*sigh* such is life

Is it time?

Here I am sitting in front of the computer doing my research on creams, mosturizers, anti-aging and all sorts just to want to maintain my youth. Hairstyles to suit the age, or if possible, make you look younger. Oh gawd!

Is this what they label as mid-life crisis? I don't want to go live a mid-life crisis just yet because I personally don't think its time yet for me but staying home dressed only in T-shirts that turns PJs can be quite worrying for a girl my age.

I am really contemplating now to give my hair a go at hair dye but I am really really scared that it will damage it. Dry and brittle and that will really add on to my depression. Not to say I am in depression mode now but with dry and brittle hair and worse still, hair colour that does not suit me.. SHIT!

Am really thinking of wanting to try switching hair saloon to Shunji Matsuo New Generation at Hartamas since they do really have good reviews and since my hair is quite short at the moment, I don't think it will exceed RM500?

I have got a couple of hairstyles in mind that I would like, most of it still being the short hair since I am loving it at the moment. Hair can grow, I know.. but mine takes ages. I had the hair cut since last August, just above the shoulders and now, April, it only reached the shoulders, not really over it yet.. so you tell me, if my hair do really take ages to grow long? So frustrating at times!

and as for skincare, I have come to conclusion that those you can get on the shelves for less than RM20 don't work. It is more to like "I have applied them therefore I am all good at the moment" but after a while, you know that its just all lies! So I have decided to ask Hubby to invest in better skincare range for me and I am doing my research on which one will be good for me.

Clinique? Dior? Sk-II? Biotherm? Estee Lauder? I think I shall start off with some good mosturizers first that can also act as anti-aging or at least preserve the last of my youth in me for a few more years.. (10 years at least? *grin*)

So tomorrow, after Jaden's classes, I shall go walk around Parksons or Jusco to see which one is good and in my budget range. Gwen suggest La Pr... something and mentioned something about rich aunties using.. HER KEY WORDS = RICH AUNTIES.. firstly, I don't think SimonYap clan is in that category. Second = AUNTY! Damnit Gwen!

Any recommendations? As long as it could help preserve me in my late 20s I am happy! =)

Friday and me

I finally booked my flight back to Penang this coming June/July. Will be heading back home for about 2 weeks with Jaden to spend time with my parents and friends back home. *sigh* It always gives me a fuzzy feeling whenever I click YES CONFIRM and yay! I will soon be home back in Penang again, which means my first 2010 Penang trip. I am not sure if there will be a second one but I doubt so unless flights are going crazily cheap like those I bought for NickLenny's wedding where it was only like RM35 for both Jaden and I. Something like that.. but still YAY!

This month is going to be a very busy month for the SimonYap clan and once we get it over and done with, we will be celebrating the fruits of Simon Yap's labour. I am so excited, can't wait for it to happen! =) Remember when I said *surprise* (will reveal in 2010 when the right time comes...) yea! This would be it then.. so till then, it shall still remain a surprise!!!!!!!! but for those that already know what it is, ssshhhh...

I seem to have this itch coming back to me now, which means I need to do something to the hair but I am contemplating hard whether to keep it short again or let it grow past the shoulders so I can curl it back with my curler again? Which one? If not, then I shall just stick to hair treatments and let it grow long again.. but I sort of fell in love with short hair and the cuteness of bob, although the word cute won't exist when its on me.. still.. hmm.. back to hairy dilemma again! LOL

Anyway I forgot I need to go cook rice for dinner. Oops, till then.. =) *muah*

Ok, done with my cooking of vege and some partial cleaning up.. have to wait till Hubby finishes grilling his yummy butterfish and we can all eat our late dinner. Mmm... Ours meaning just both Hubby and I as Jaden already finished his one big bowl of pork ribs with old cucumber and carrot porridge.

We came across this Village Grocer that sells butter fish for only less than RM10 for quite a big fillet and Hubby loves his butter fish and they are so much more cheaper than cod fish so well, guess I can stick to this butter fish for now and cook all sorts of fish dishes for Jaden to eat. =) I like!

Have you ever come across some leaked water sink pipe that leaked in such a way like it has been puntured by vampires' teeth? My sink is leaking water from the puntured holes and that makes life miserable for me when the floor is wet because of the spraying and BAH! It just makes life bloody miserable! Come to think of it, we only have the pipe changed last year when the guy came to repair the leaking sink. So frustating! He must have gave us some bloody cheap ass pipes!

Anyway, my tummy is rumbling and got to go fold the laundry and hang those wet ones now.. so till then for my Fridays, ciao!

My 30 Month oLd Jaden

*sigh*

What a way to start a blogpost right? but well, now that Super Junior is here and gone, its back to reality for me. I went there a K-pop fan / SS501 die hard fan and I came out NOW also a die-hard Super Junior fan. I mean, they were good and may be a little better than some Taiwanese boybands.


Anyway, I am on the lookout for more songs and future concerts from them! A sure must buy or must go! =)

Enough of Super Junior now. I am sure most of you would have been bored out with me going on and on about them. I can still go on and on but well, enough of them at the moment.

Time to head back to reality, which means focusing on my daily routine and what my 2 1/2 year old has been up to.

Hes been a cutie and a little tantrum throwing boy at the same time. I wonder if it is his way to rebel, or just to show that you cannot push him around whenever wherever. Ok, maybe its a good thing that he doesnt come running to mommy or daddy when somebody hits him or pushes him away. Or maybe its a bad thing because he will HIT YOU BACK or PAY YOU BACK the same you do to him. Hmm.. Its quite worrying because I don't want him to grow up to be a bully yet I don't want him to be bullied either. So how like that? I do whack him and scold him if he retaliates back when he is MEMANG in the wrong because I really cannot accept such behavior but if it was really some other people's fault that made him act the way he did, then by all means, please boy, stand up for yourself. =) Am I being a don't care mommy around here now then if I allow him to? *confused!*

The cute part about Jaden is that now and then, he will approach Hubby or me on his own and kiss us on the lips. Lip to lip kiss. So cute! So sweet I tell you! Its like just to remind you, Daddy/ Mummy I still love you, you know? AAwwwwwwww... and of course with that one kiss, he gets his own way with Hubby la. For me, I still whack if he misbehaves the next minute!

Jaden is quite sharing with his food too. Some kids might just want to chomp down their food and not give you any but Jaden, well, he will offer you again and again until your face is full of oil from that food if that food is oily!

Jaden turned 30 months old last Sunday and we bought him doughnuts to celebrate. He is such a big fan of doughnuts and the very sight of us taking it out to feed him, he will be screaming with delight, springing all the way! Hubby calls him the Spring-rila! Its like he has springs in him and there he will go hopping all day without getting tired! Its as if we, the parents feel tired for him! LOL We also took him for a run at the Sunway Giza courtyard! Jaden loves open spaces where he can run free. He is most happy when he has space to runaround. =)

So there, for now, my back to reality! =) but before I go, here is another song that is quite nice to listen to..

i *heart* em' young -Super Junior SS2 2010 Asia Tour -Malaysia

I knew I have to go no matter what right after I saw the advertisement on Astro and by hook or crook, I managed to make Hubby get me the tickets to watch. Whee!!!

I would say, it would have made me regret so much if I did not go because the programmes prepared by the boys for us was just so adrenaline pumping and who wouldn't love some abs and ass showing? *wink*

Amy and I left for the stadium at about 545pm and slowly made our way there. Reached there at about 630pm and luckily, we found parking near to the stadium door entrance. There was already long queues leading to God knows where but these people were just lining up. I mean, all these tickets except the rockpitt are numbered so why the long line? and then i figured it was prolly for the merchandise but no, by the time I was there, merchandise were all swept clean by fans who had came earlier or pre-ordered since pre-historic times. *gRin*










Amy and I then lined up to go in and surprisingly, although the RELA members checked every individual's bag, they allowed cameras to be brought in and lets just say, it was really nice to be able to use the camera freely compared to Music Man's concert. I mean, people go to these concerts and would love to bring back the memories with them and what nonsense is it not allowing cameras or photos taken? Maybe there is a better explanation to it but at the moment, these are just my thoughts on cameras disallowed.

There was two opening act by Malaysians, which one group comprised of Thomas and Jack and the other one is Iqwal, which both did some dance music numbers but well, how could they beat the Koreans? But I do think they did rather a good job being the guest acts.








The show finally began at 8am, and that also with a big bang! I mean, literally, I have like Ryu Wook standing right behind my seat for a good 1-2 minutes and I just went shutter crazy! He has always been one of the boys who I kind of fan-cy in the whole of Super Junior group because of his unique vocals. FWAH! One of the best seats in the house I must say! Ok, maybe if I were seated at the front line of the stage, it would have been really awesome but getting photos of Ryu Wook and seeing him in person SO CLOSE (so close that if I reached out, I would have touched him! Yes, I was that close to him!)










The boys started off singing A Man in Love and then from then, if I am not mistaken, Its You (Remix version) and then ... I sort of forgot which songs or what songs but they were all really good, even the solos. I was even so touched by the E.L.F's efforts in the Shining Star project which brought tears to Lee Teuk, who could not carried on singing because he was busy wiping his tears away. aawwwwww..










then .. then.. there were times when they teased the crowd with abs showing, butt dancing like those KARA girls doing the Mister song and the almost kissing... oohhh HAWT HAWT HAWT! I could have just go on and on and on about how HAWT they all were but that will prolly make you think I am mad but well.. my cousin said we could just have been cougars! LOL




The show started off with only 10 ori members of the Super Junior group performing. Two more came near the ending, both from SJ-M's group, Henry and Zhou Mi but well, they both are good too! It didn't really matter at all about how many ori Super Junior members were there because they rocked the concert hard! They rocked it good!




I taped their Sorry Sorry performance back for Hubby to watch because its only one song that he recognised from them. Thanks to Channel V and MTV for playing it over and over again, and me and my Music Bank and JK Pop every weekday 6-630pm. *gRin*







Siwon wore his coat without anything inside and when it flew open, I swore I nearly fainted just by looking at those abs and well, he was one of the buffiest looking guy there, mostly also the one showing off those yummy parts! and guess what? I even managed to catch in time, when he lifted up his shirt to tease the crowd during Puff the Magic Dragon song performance. KyuHyun could really sing quite well in English. SiWon too, can speak English but just not that good but well, its all good!










There was quite a lot of fans interaction with the boys. They played around with water guns shooting water at the fans in the rock pitts and those seated near the stage. There was also quite a lot of gifts throwing on the stage and some were taken by HeeChul to play with but I doubt they took any of those back except for ShinDong who wore the Malaysia E.L.F tee-shirt at the end. Other than that, the stage, when everything ended, it looked so typical like what Malaysian revellers would leave behind for MPPJ to clear up after a New Year/Christmas countdown celebration. *shakes head*







Amy and I left as soon the concert ended, and seated beside just the exit point was a plus and security just opened up the side doors to let us out, and our car was just strategically parked there... so we beat the jam, went for supper and went home to dream about the boys.. that, prolly happened with Amy.. but for me, it was back to reality for me, back to my OWN TWO BOYS, who can literally rocked my house down too.. *sigh*

In all, it was one good concert to start the 2010 concerts... and I am now looking forward to one, should it happen, please let it happen!

Thank you Hubby for helping me to babysit Jaden and Amy being a great partner! =) =)

For a full account of what happened during the concert or before that, you can check out the forum of these really die hard fans of Super Junior. They sure did write a full account of what happened and what took place during the concert! **updated 230310 - The Star's reporter's account here , Malay Mail's too ...*sigh*

and since Blue is the official colour for Super Junior fans, this post shall be in blue then... and for the songs again, well, get it from this website but I would suggest to get the CD and blast it out loud to your heart's content! =)

p/s: and as for my full photos on the concert, you can check out my FB picture.. =)

a bad start - a good ending

for the day at least I hope...

Everything just seemed to go haywired once Jaden woke up crying. His mood was so foul, that he kept crying every 5 minutes. That nearly drove me insane wanting to tape his mouth up if I could but well.. I didn't. Just a figure of speech. Things went downhill since then.

When the son's mood is foul, so is the father and when both their mood is foul, I fall victim.

Went out of the house to collect a 'gift' which thrilled me so much! Getting to go out of the house means not having to see both dark clouds looming in the house. Anyway, I think its one of their shared secret to secretly drive mommy out of the house so they can both be together.

Well, things should have lit up from there but no. Of all days, I decided to give in to just reloading RM10 into my prepaid and my stupidity got my topup barred and I can't do shit bout it. Can't call out, can't even do the *# thingy to revive it back, and that means I have to wait till I go back home and get the customer service to help me out. *dang*

After getting my 'gift', I hurried over to tapao lunch because someone have lots of work/meetings/ party to attend to. Saw XY and Jojie on my way back on the road and decided to honk them crazy. They must have cursed before looking at the side to see who was honking them.

Reached home, fed the old one, asked him to dish out a dead bloated lizard from the sink. EEwwww I know. You know what is more disgusting? I have been washing some dishes before realizing that my hand hit something... yes, I ter-touched the dead reptile. EEEEWWWWWWWWW! So I called the old man to throw it out of the window. *shivers*

The old man went out after that and from then, everything started to change for the better. Yay yay! Fed and bathed the young one, took him out to One U to meet my cousin who flew in from Melbourne early this morning for tomorrow's SuJu's Super Show II 2010 Asia Tour. Both of us had a good time catching up over what happened throughout the years in regards to us and the family. =) I know I would have a really good time with her tomorrow too at the concert coz she is FUN! She spells FUN! =)




The old man? Well, hes out celebrating St Patrick's Day. I mean.. he? celebrating? He doesn't even really celebrate CNY and all others? and now suddenly St. Patrick's Day? Well, soon enough, we will be celebrating Easter, Thanksgiving, Halloween (oh wait, its Halloween everyday at my place.. have you met me?) I am not sure if he is hitting Hennesy Artistry after the drink like a horse session at One U, but well, anything that makes him loses stress after a whole week of workload. He happy, me happy, baby happy! we are happies!




Now, I am just going to stop procrastinating, log off the comp, do some real housework a bit and put the boy to bed. Time for mother and son bonding. =)

oh and the day is really going to end well, I hope I don't jinx it by saying it but the old man is coming back home right now with Assam Laksa for meeeeeee... Wheeeeeeeeeeeeeee!
