Yesterday Thea and I struggled a little while dressing up for dinner. I proposed that since she was wearing pink top, pink skirt, why not wear pink crocs or pink slippers? She shook her head and said no, she wanted to wear the blue strips shoes. No, not matching at all. But she made a point, she likes to be of a 'rainbow' colour now, even though now her rainbow colours only consist of pink and blue. Hmrf..
I gave up, and allowed her since she always had a mind of her own anyway. Nevermind the fact my brother said the same morning, "if I look stupid, it's my mother's fault." Right, blame it ALL on the mother!! Mom said that I needed to get some fashion magazines for Thea.. haha! But then again, how can I blame her? I myself am not a fashionable freak!
So she settled for her blue stripped shoes. And hubby looked at her, smiled a little and said, "you know, she reminds me of someone." I looked up, surprised that Thea's sense of fashion could remind hubby of SOME-ONE!!
I asked, "who?"
And he said, "Lady Gaga."
LOLS.
Very very funny thing happened in the night before we went to bed. She turned to her side of her bed and said, "good nai.....bey-beh...." in an accent. Seriously, we don't know where she got that from. And hubby said, "Thea, confirmed-lah! You are the Lady Gaga in the house. Good night!"
LOLS.

SURVIVOR!!!!
Guardian angel has finally arrived home safely, and I am still surprised by my calmness. 3 weeks without a maid will be no joke. Ironically, when I looked within, there was a sort of excitement that accompanied it. Could it be that I am 'hadap' for house chores? tsk! tsk! tsk!
Not that I don't have enough already on my plate, and yet.. and yet.. waitaminute... maybe there isn't enough on my plate?!? What a joke!
Will it be challenging? Will it be fulfilling? Will it allow me new perspective to view certain beliefs I've held on to in my life? I don't know.. what is is what is... how do we argue with reality?
Though today is just the first day, I am guessing that as long as I take the days one at a time, I will be fine. I have survived this before and I will do it again. Last night, I jokingly told guardian angel infront of SIL, "oh... how am I to survive with you..." and SIL said quite abruptly, "SURVIVOR!!!! You be the SURVIVOR!!!" Lols.. it was quite hilarious though there is much truth in what she said!
So today, hubby text (he is away) and asked how I was coping... I told him that I managed to feed the dogs, the fishes, water the garden, scoop dog shit, feed Thea, make bed with Thea, bathe Thea, eat egg tarts and even included my routine ACIM practice into the regime. He replied, "wah... can water the garden some more arr... you good la!! For me, I surely won't water the garden one..." and then I replied, "aiya.... I chin2cai2 water one lah.." trying to sound humble and then he replied, "cheh!! like that I also can la!!!" Lols. It was a hilarious joke. The point here is, at least I did it!! And the point here also is, I enjoyed it!
Maybe after 3 weeks, I might really, really consider shifting... lols!!

Summer Hong Kong
Just came back from Hong Kong. Hubby couldn't make it due to work so Thea and I left for HK all by ourselves. Felt really independant and had loads of fun with Thea, just me and her. It was a good thing that hubby didn't come along because I had wanted to take her on a holiday just me and her. She was a very good girl, didn't stray far from me, sticking close to me and I was a very good mommi too! I bought her most of what she wanted.. haha!
Mom and the others arrived the next day but we hardly hung out much because they were the shopping kind and Thea and I were the wait-and-see-what-we-feel-like-doing kind.. haha.. Most of the time, we were at the hotel just watching Mickey mouse reruns and only went out for walks at nearby malls for lunch and some shopping.
Thea was really home sick though. She cried a little in the night before she slept saying how she missed home, and sometimes in the middle of the sleep too. Hubby was very touched. She is just so darned homely! But she did enjoy herself in HK, having meals and spending time with her godparents and also her favourite aunt! I trust that she enjoyed her time with me too. Basically, it was just us both. The others were constantly on the lookout for us though, ensuring our comfort and making sure we are alright. The thing is, we are in HK! There is no way we won't be alright! Haha!
One of my most memorable times was being able to meet up with 2 new friends. What I had expected to just be a touch-n-go dinner, turned out to be a warm and cozy night of non-stop chatting in our room. It was splendid! And shopping was, needless to say was heavenly.
Mom told Thea, "Thea, when you come to HK, you walk-walk-walk and then when you see something nice, you walk into the shop and buy-buy-buy; after that you walk-walk-walk again and then you see something nice again, you walk into the shop and buy-buy-buy again... and then you walk-walk-walk again... until you become tired, you stop at a coffee shop to rest for a while and then you walk-walk-walk again.. that is HK for you!" I burst out laughing so hard and wondered what kind of ideas mom was trying to impose on Thea!! haha! But it was fun! and I am sure Thea is wise enough to conjure up her own meaning of HK!
We were both very tired by the last day, which was yesterday. But we were both excited to be heading home. Though flight was delayed, it gave us an opportunity to enjoy the Travel Lounge, something that I've been wanting to try. The space allowed us clean toilets, ok buffet spread, comfy sofas to rest and most importantly, plug points to charge the iTouch! haha..
I wouldn't mind doing this with Thea again though I think she will think twice before leaving behind her dada and her kakak and her Doby and her Salsa again! Haha! She is indeed very homely and I am loving her for it. :D

Updates on Birthday Marathon
Sorry folks. I know how this is a little outdated.. but please forgive me, was answering to the physical call of rest, rest and more rest...
Birthday celebration started on...
2nd July 2010
Had buffet dinner with Darling at Le Meridien, Latest Recipe. She loves to eat. Since it was also her birthday in July, so we went there to feast. We were there from 630pm to 930pm. Just talking, talking, talking.. nice!
3rd July 2010
Had lunch with in laws at SuChan. Food was alright. Company, marvelous though what I really wanted to try out Serai Empire.. but I guess there is always the next time!
Dinner with Mom, Chow, Uncle Stewart, Aunty Mandy & Granny at Betty's Midwest Kitchen. Yummy yummy pork! Received lots of pressies too!!
4th July 2010
Had lunch with dad, bros and their other halves at Westin. Thought the spread was so-so, but company was great. A 3 pc band serenaded to us, I felt so loved and high that I felt like kissing everyone!! Reminded me of that song, Love Potion No.9! Lols!
Proceeded to Karaoke with Penny, Siew, Darling, Ray and Uncle Stewart joined us soon afterwards. Believe it or not, I sang till my heart's content! Been telling them to accompany me to karaoke! No, no.. not to sing, but to listen to me sing! Lols! I am sure they enjoyed my concert! Lols!
Had dinner with Penny & Siew. Loved the moment when I was able to share my experiences and knowledge with Penny. So uplifting! And dinner was great too!
6th July 2010
Met up with the girls, Terri & Gladys at Pyramid. They felt 'safer' in a karaoke so again, I was at karaoke! Lols! The Universe must have really heard my calling for karaoke sessions and giving them to be all at one shot!! Lols! After karaoke, we went for dinner at Italianies and watched Sex and the City 2. It was their second time watching it and my first. Enjoyed the movie thoroughly. :) It was great connecting with the girls again because it has been quite a while since we last hung out! Thanks girls, for making time for me!
Mom called in the middle of karaoke and reminded me that birthday is only 1 day, not the whole week! lols1 I knew that.. but who asked me to be loved by many, right?!? Lols!
7th July 2010
Breakfast with JerLin at Bangsar Village. It was the first time we were really walking around a mall. The previous times we were sat and chatted and browsed through shops. She bought a dress I think and she nearly bought me a piece of cheese cake!! Lols! Told her that we could have the cheese cake together next time! But it was fun meeting up with her! I always enjoyed my moments with her. :)
8th July 2010
Thursday night is a 'sharing' night for me. Received birthday wishes from the gals! So wonderful!
9th July 2010
Had dinner at Sakae with Alina at Pavillion. We both wanted to watch Eclipse and she bought tickets - Gold Class - as my birthday treat! So abundant! We were yaking before the movie. Since there was time, we did a little shopping. When movie started, we both were very, very excited! Whilst we both loved the movie, we felt that it was a little short and compressed. The book was damn thick ok!! Unfortunately, we decided to head home after that movie because it was getting late and I was getting tired. But I arrived home with a smile on my face - Alina, Edward Cullen, Eclipse - good combination of a splendid night!
And that would wrap up my birthday marathon. :D
Sorry, no photos. Just feel darnnnnn lazy these days.. lols!
Thank you, for being mirrors of Love, Appreciation and Abundance. :)
