The Baby has ARRIVED!!!

Yes, you read right! Our baby, Lex, has arrived!! I made a morning call to the dealer and asked when would it be likely that we could collect Lex so that we could arrange our time and viola!! He called at about 12pm and told us that we could pick up Lex at 1pm! Hubby and I were so so excited!!! We left heading towards Hicom after Thea's class.

...

When we arrived there, his heart went bidibip-bidibop... hahaha.. so cute.. he was really thrilled. He drove home his dream car.

...

Well, after mendling with Lex for a while (as if caressing her!! hahaha), he has left with Lex for a golf game.

...

Have a enjoyable drive hubby.. you surely deserve it! :D

...

Very oddly, the number '6' kept on flashing to me after we collected Lex. I immediately knew that the Angels were trying to tell me something. Before I started this entry, I saw a feather... it was definitely a sign...

...

The number '6' says, "Release any fears about the physical/material world to God and the angels. Balance your thoughts between the material and spiritual."

...

Thank you for the reminder, dear Angels.. :)

FYI Updates

There are 2 things I wish to share.

...

1st thing to share

Last night when I was having dinner with hubby, he blurted that he felt neglected on Friday night because he waited for me to come home early from dinner with the girls. I explained that I chose not to come home earlier because he would have slept early anyway and I would have been alone so I chose to hang out with girls instead. Besides, I was having too much fun with the girls to have the night end so young! He smirked, but then smiled and said, "but luckily you made it up by cooking dinner for me today." I burst out laughing!!! Hahahaa.... hubby was so cute.. although I'm quite sure I didn't cook because of an intention to make up to him, I am certainly glad that I made him feel better by cooking him dinner. He said that dinner was delicious...

...

2nd thing to share

Went to Chezz with Pauline today. I had never been there on my own but with hubby assistance on reading the map and Terri's mention of KFC @ Sea Park as landmark (when she wrote that in the SMS, I nearly fainted because I don't know where KFC @ Sea Park was) helped. Of course, the latter helped more after I've managed to be on the right road from KK! Thanks Terri :D.

...

We were there at about slightly before 2pm. Rebonded the top portion of my head (touch up) and re-coloured my whole head. Pauline did only treatments. Guess how long it took me. From the time I was there, with the hair washes to the treatment to the rebonding to the colouring to the hair cut (I requested for a fringe cut) to treatments again to the final blowdry - I left the place at 6:45pm. It was a loooooooooong day for me and it was quite boring too because I had no one to talk to (Pauline didn't talk much because she was busy texting Jon on the phone & left to do some shopping at the nearby shops while waiting for me to finish). Yes, I brought my book and read some titles but.. you know, it's just B-O-R-I-N-G!

...

But then again, it was worth it... my hair is sooooo soft and nice..... hahahahahhahaha I LOVE IT!

...

Anyway, I am home and blogging... hehehe.. this entry has no purpose. I guess I just needed to share the 1st thing and vent and brag on the 2nd thing. Cheers! ;p

Honey Garlic Roast Chicken with Mash Potatoes and Salad

I don't know what's gotten into me lately. The thought came and I just acted on it.

...

Last night after I came home from my night out with the girls, I had a thought of cooking dinner the next day - which is today. I remembered Su telling me that there were drumstick thighs in the freezer so I made a mental note to cook that for dinner. This morning when hubby kissed me good bye before he left work I told him blurry in my sleep but with a smile that I was going to cook dinner tonight. He thought I was talking in my sleep! :)

...

I took out the drumstick thighs this morning when I woke up. Waited for it to defrost and started marinating the drumstick thighs with honey garlic sauce (left over from CNY), additional garlic and mixed herbs at about 3:30pm. I had another thought that since we had french fries too many rounds before this perhaps I should try to make mash potatoes this time instead and the first person to consult was of course, the Kitchen Goddess - Alina. :)

...

I text her and since she was out, she referred me to one of her recipes in her blog (please check out http://alinagracekitchen.blogspot.com/ - great recipes there though I am too chicken to try them out myself). Ok, so I got it. And then I got confused by it, called her but she didn't answer, and then called Terri for help. So now, I get 2 recipes with the same ingredients but with pretty different methods to do it. So how now? I trusted my instincts.

...

It was DELICIOUS!!! I absolutely loved it and hubby said it was tasty too!! (ok, ok.. I know that it is pretty easy to make mash potatoes but it is my first time ok!!!)

...

So, this is how the preparation dish looked while waiting for the drumstick thighs to be roasted: -

All lined up - Fresh salad and the mash potatoes on the side

And this was when the drumstick thighs were still roasting in the oven: -

Preheated oven at 220 degree Celsius for 20 minutes and roasted for 20 minutes at same temperature.

And the result,

If you are wondering why I am only exploring roast chicken... hmm.. to be honest, I thought about this too... perhaps they are the easiest recipes to find the necessary ingredients. Honestly, I don't know myself. I did try fish the last time and must give credit to myself for that. Hubby said that I could try lamb or beef the next time. Hmm... good suggestions... but will I have the courage?

We'll see. :)

Night Out with the Angels (are we still?)

Me, Terri & Gladys

Taken at CoffeeBean, Genting - My 26th Birthday, 2003

I had a good day today. Started with Cheng Beng in the morning with my dad, brothers and Thea, followed by an interview session with Heng & Maylin. The interview session was really long, but I had fun getting to know them. I would have so much to write about them.

...

I was running a little late because I left Oneness late and made a wrong turn. Thankfully, no one was 'mad' at me when I turned up at Bodhitree. Both of my dear friends, Terri and Gladys were already there.

...

We had many many 'light meals', a main course which we could not finish, a bottle of wine and a pot of flower tea. Honestly, I don't know how we could have stuffed so much of food in the little stomachs of ours. But we almost finished the food.. and absolutely finished the wine and the pot of tea! :p We had a great time talking and laughing and chatting. A-hem, I don't know what was so funny or got into those two - they laughed till they teared!!

...

After dinner, we walked to Coffeebean, shared a drink - courtesy of Terri. And guess what we talked about most - the subject that the two found most boring - insurance, mortgages and investments. Seriously, they were the one who asked about the subjects and then ended up yawning as I explained to them! Now come to think about it, I find them both so cute and am laughing to myself as I think back of those 'trying hard to understand me' faces... hahahha..

Gladys, Terri & I

Ya.. we were absolutely crazy about each other then ;p

They are a gem, each in my life. I think I've loved them since the day I met them. We used to call ourselves Charlie's Angels. We were young and full of life. But also because we were all growing up, we had to learn our lessons with each other and also walk our own journey for lessons to be learnt with other people. We faced many downtimes with each other - suppression of our true feelings, judgements, taking sides, being entangled with each others' issues and oh.. so many of them.. and yes, we did fall out of favour with each other occasionally. But really, were we angry with each other, or just ourselves because we couldn't handle our friendship any better, any wiser? I don't know.. but that is not important anymore. Because as far as I can recall, moments with them were always wonderful and worth the while, eventhough some moments involved our own vulnerability.

...

We each have our own life now. But it feels so good tonight because we are able to blend in again with each other, like the good old times; except now with a little more wisdom and a little more understanding of the self and each other. I can't speak for them, but I had a splendid time with them, because they were they; and I was I. And now I recall again that it was them that had always encouraged me to be me. I love them, because they were and are still my teachers to guide and show me I ought to love myself and accept myself. Imagine.. the lesson started so long ago, and yet it is only now that I've learnt it. And I am grateful for their patience with me, for their willingness of still wanting to be present in my life. And even if they had ceased being my teachers in that area, I would forever be grateful to them for their presences and friendship in my life.

...

Thank you, Angels... no matter what we turn out be, you will always be my angels. I love you.

The First Service - Oracle Card Reading

Today I am no longer a virgin in oracle card reading. I did a reading for a new friend whom I didn't know of her life. I told her that after that reading, I will most likely forget whatever it is that I interpreted because those information were for her anyway, so no point of me being attached to it. I reminded her to try to remember whatever that I said that could guide and help her, because I may not be able to repeat them again.

...

It took about an hour plus. If it wasn't because I had to pick up Thea from TT, I think we could have had lunch together. But the whole process was good for me. It was a platform for me to share my gift and to help her understand the support that she was obtaining from the Divine. And for that, I received my first token as an exchange of energy in kind. Thank you Lilie for allowing me to be your instrument to connect to your Divine Guides. :)

...

And thank YOU, for the blessings of this journey.

...

Blessed Be.
