Hehehe… Ho hohohoho….

I’ve been on eBay lately selling some baby stuff like the pram, breast pumps and sterilizer. I’m trying to clear up my spare room before my distinguished guests arrive .

Do you think the Postman will come by my house and SCHMACK me?

$15.50 worth of stamps!

$10.20 worth of stamps on this one and the surface was not big enough I had to stick it over the edges! The cost to post this package according to Australia Post is $10.50 based on its weight and size. Do you think they would bother with 30cents? I sure hope not. Hehehehe I’ll let you know if it gets knocked back… or if I have to relocate because the Postman bunches up my mail…

This was a great way to get rid of those 45cent stamps that I’ve had for YEARS! Ah… remember those days when it only costed 45cents to post a snail mail.

Hmmm now time to figure out how many stamps I need do to post off the 4 wheel Jogger/ pram.

Happy Happy Joy Joy…. Apparently… I look better when smiling (d’uh). So these are the go at the moment.

HAHAHA…. what you said was KINDA funny.. but I will just be polite and laugh away….

Or…. Hello there….Standing like this is a little awkward….

Or… Hello there…. Do you want to buy something from me?

DAMN IT. OK one thing. I FEEEELL Old. I mean… all these shots.. I look old in.

OK maybe not saggy boobies old but… I am a working woman old. No more… I’m in Highschool look …  Bye Bye Student from Channel Ten Look ….. sniff…. sniff….

NO! I refuse to accept it. You wait… I’ll come up with a few highschool student looks with Dave.

NEIGHBOURS! You NEED an ASIAN High SCHOOL STUDENT! SERIOUSLY!

HEADSHOT! Argh, No, not counterstrike, though I don’t mind running down memory lane again and hit it up at a lan cafe and try playing again…

Sorry, I digress. Ok, I had the pleasure of getting some headshots done by an LA photographer for my acting portfolio, so I thought I’d share one of them with you to see what you think.

To be honest, weird or not… I’m actually not very natural infront of the camera if I’m not making a stupid face. Hence, if you haven’t noticed… I tend to chop half my face in those outfit posts that I put up… when I get the chance. Weird… I don’t know. I think I feel self-conscious in the sense that I don’t want people to think that I’m try to look good. Weird. I’m still knuckling down that brain of mine as to why.

Like I know I aint ugly, but I also know I ain’t crash hot either. BUT I think I could look really good, but I would have to try really hard to do so. AND then here’s the part about the camera… I think that IF I do look goo din a picture, then I’m conscious in the sense that I think people would say… “Yeh, she’s only good looking with make-up on…” Which to a degree, I agree to.

Hmmmm my point? I don’t have one. OK maybe I do. No. Ok, I don’t care. Not much really anyway… so here one of the 127 pics I had taken.

So because there is 127 of them… I’m not sure which one to pick to send out to casting agents. It’s weirder that i’m sitting infront of the computer staring at pics… and acccessing how I look. Is that shallow?? GAHHH I don’t know… WHAT’s WRONG with me!

OK. No. I’m normal. Absolutely Normal. Hmm but its boring being normal. GAAAhh…

I’ll put a few more on later posts… maybe you can help me. But maybe you don’t care… hmmm…. I have issues…. ok I stop.

Just like my lunch orders, I will soon run out of things to do. SIGH. Well, can’t say that I’m not trying right? Darn kids… why do they have to get bored to quickly!

Today we spent half the day moping around the house… and then had a light bulb moment! It’s 6 degrees outside…. LETS GO SWIMMING!

YES. I booked Missy C in for Creche for the first time and Missy A and I went swimming.

It was a really great opportunity for me to spend one on one time with each other, and it was great because OFCOARSE always after a swim… everyone is HUNGRY. So lunch went down without a fuss. We dropped by to pick up a DVD and set for home.

We’ve started a bit of a vegie patch and herb garden so we also had planned to set up our mushroom box. AND speaking of our herb garden, I swear that there was one night that I thought our neighbours were stealing our herbs!…. or worse…ALIENS!

I went out to pick some parsley one night and discovered this!

ALL OF THEM WERE PICKED! Just their leaves!

I panicked! Called Dave and was totally freaked. I mean, one of or neighbours, not sure who and which one is kind enough to bring in our bin sometimes when I forget while rushing the kids off to school. So I thought, well, thats ok I guess that maybe then they thought that they could help themselves to the herbs as their reward/thank you. I don’t know… but it sure seems alittle invasive. Thats when I got scared. OMG, someone has the guts to go through out gates, walk into our garden and hep themselves. I ran into the house, locked up the doors….

Ok so maybe Dave is a little calmer with this and told me that neighbours wouldn’t do such thing and it COULD be something else. So I googled it. “MISSING PARSLEY” and found a few people with missing parsley due to a…. POSSUM!

Ok, not so scarey anymore. But still very angry.

ANYWAY… we borrowed Bandslam and…BANDSLAM IS AWESOME!! Hahaha… I love kids flicks, and I was a little hesitant because Vanessa from High School Musical is in it…( i find her annoyingly chirpy), but not so much in this movie, and I loved it. Oh and so did the girls . Highly recommend this flick.

Random. I know.

I don’t wanna grow up, I’m a Toys R’ Us kid. A million toys to choose from, that I can play with. From bikes to trikes and video games, its the biggest toy stor there is. GEE WIZ! I don’t wanna grow up, cuz baby if I did….I wouldn’t be a toys r’ us kid!

I haven’t been blogging much because…I have been growing up lately. I now drink coffee because I think its an adult thing to do. I indulge in cheese too because… its just an adult thing to do. Hehehe… ok not really but of late, I do feel like an oldie scouring wineries,I shop for homewares, having a latte in my hand, ordering caeser salad, and carrying hand cream in my handbag.

I’ve shocked everyone with my new do. Atleast my uncles anyway. He calls it the Aunty hair cut…. but others have liked… it??? Or atleast they have all been very polite.

Then I really felt like an Aunty remembering that this white dress WAS my mummy’s.

And now I dream of my next house. It will have a name. YES my house will have its own name.

I’ve been wearing this T-shirt dress for 5 years now. AND it was only TODAY, when taking this outfit post that I realised that the print on it is a…

…ZEBRA! How cool. Allthis while I actually thought that it was a flower! #FAIL. I don’t know how this proves that I am an adult but I thought I’d share an outfit.

I have been dressing like I am going to work…

Or atleast think that its work anyway…

Hi guys, ok you can shoot me for not really updating other than sponsored stuff. BUT seriously, I have nothing much to report these days and well, my social calender hasn’t quite been very colourful. Though my kids are still giving me stories to report… I am seriously just lazy for now. No excuse. Actually, I’ve also really lost my mojo for blogging, so I am hoping that I get it back because I am seriously walking around and existing…with not much point. Make sense? No, GREAT! I have it again! Verbal jibberish with no sense!

ANYWAY, I had the great pleasure to attend The Melbourne Langham Hotel High TEA that was organised by Nuffnang, and by the dear people at media moguls. To be honest, I have pretty much gone into hybernation. Social hybernation, and self isolation.

You see, when I got preggers with Missy A nearly 6 years ago, I was completely isolated. Whether it was by choice, or circumstance, I was alone. Sure I had my hubby, but I was also staying with my In-Laws, and well, given the situation, I wasn’t exactly enjoying my time outside my room. ANYWAY, bad memories, but on the good note, since then, I have grown to somewhat accept it. Accept that I had to start depending on myself, and to stand on my two feet. I did almost everything alone. Ofcoarse Dave was working and all so my DAY time activities were all solo.

Until this day, it’s quite similar. I have my kids with me, but my social interaction revolves around, pondering along on my own. My adult thoughts, all to myself. My adult jokes, all to myself, and well, anything else adult to myself. Sad? No, I don’t necessarily think so. You see, I sound so lonely but I’m not. I am surrounded by many loving people. BUT because I am so used to being alone, I actually find it uncomfortable to a certain degree to be around people. My social-side has gone into hibernation. So when my friends to call me out, even if to go shopping, or to meet for drinks, or to catch up, I freeze. I hesitate, and then knowing that I SHOULD go, then only I agree. Not because I want to but because I know I should … socialise.

BLAH, I digress….

So, being invited to Langham and meeting other bloggers… I was like…. ERGGGHhh… MUST I??? AND seriously, I didn’t get the idea of going to a Hotel for reasons other than to get a room, and get rowdy… I mean… relax. Who goes to Hotels to eat other than Hotel guests. I would feel like a bit of gate-crasher.

No, apparently lots of hotels hosts heaps of really awesome restaurant that YOU can go and eat there even if you were NOT a guest! WAHH… I learn something new everyday…

SO sorry, I digress again.

Anyway, so for something I SHOULD do, I agreed.

Langham Hotel. When I got out of the car, Dave chauffeured me and dropped me right at the front, so ofcoarse the bus boy thingie man opened my door, and I already felt like a GIANT gate-crasher. I waited for him to ask me where my stay-over bags were but I thought I’d beat him to it and quickly asked where the Aria Bar was that serves High Tea. (Almost like you have to beat your boyfriend from dumping you by dumping him first – SAME feeling).

OOOOoohhh….

Ahhh, wouldn’t mind having that in my house!

So, with all the awkwardness conjuring, as if the decor was going to faze  me. BLEH! I kept telling myself… you can pull off proper… you can pull off proper. Just walk like you are a guest, and you’re a super mega …. Malaysian super-star visiting! Yeh, visiting from Malaysia…ARGH!

THEN… I see this blondy, sitting poised, with a bladish photographer snapping away. Click Click, flash flash. MY HEART and mind then was at ease. IT WAS NICOLA! from violetlebeaux.com/

Ah.. all that worry… all settled when I hear her burst of laughter…. after I held her up with my pretend gun anyway.

So the rest was fun fun fun! Can’t believe I nearly turned this down from my sad insecurities.

At every stage, it was like OOOh… Ahhh.. then yummmm!

whhheeee…. THough I indulged into this and… well, it was A Jaffa Chocolate Torte. Not my kinda thing. So in all politeness and properness, I ate and grinned…. half of it.

OK, i had many more pics to put into this post but if you follow me on twitter, I had been waiting WAY too long for them to upload, so I don’t give a rats bum. They weren’t too professional anyways and you could see nice lovely pics form actual food bloggers.

“Woof woof woof woof grr woof woof woooof!”

“It’s Yellow Dog Day” on Friday!” (Note: Oscar bit off the corner of my doggy letter…)

I had a dog when I was really little and we adopted him from the shelter. His name was Spot. How original huh? He was a  Jack Russell and was a super duper ball of energy. Not only did his little legs shoot off like rockets when he was off the leash, but his butt was like a machine gun farting machine! Seriously. He was like bubble wrap, everytime you’d squeeze him alittle, he’d pop out a fart. POP! Eww, but so cute! And he was one crazy crazy happy fun loving dog! He certainly took after me on the craziness!

OK, please don’t call any asylum. I am A OK! lol…

So go now, what are you waiting for…

http://pedigreeadoptiondrive.com.au

and BE A FAN of the PEDIGREE Adoption Drive Facebook fan page and they will donate a bowl of doggie food. I have!

Agrh, just a quick on but the girls at Prudent Baby just make me want to make stuff!!! It’s so awesome!

Ok, so cool, I want to act.. but should I get my kids involved?

Here’s Missy A’s showreel from the beginning of the year that she did for fun, and it was a holiday program through Screen Actors. They hold holiday programs as well as normal classes during the school term, which Missy A has been trying to get back into. Hmm not sure if I want to put her through ‘acting’ just yet as I’d hate to so call ‘live my dream’ through her…..

Hmmm… should I get her an agent?

I don’t know about you guys but I can get really addicted to watching The Biggest Loser. NO, I’m not saddistic and a meanie where I sit, watch and laugh. No, I love it how it really transforms and inspires LIFE. YES I cry almost every week to see the determination these guys have and OH to really see the END transformation, not only their physical but also they all just seem so much more happier. ALSO the other reason why I actually watch The Biggest Loser is OH the food! The good AND the bad. Seriously… I had no idea that milkshakes are acutally sitting on the bad side because it was offered as a temptation. (You should have looked at the disappointment and dismay I had in my eyes to hear that… I love thickshakes.) Anyway, I don’t have to lose weight, but I really enjoy watching and learning all the foods you can have and then trying to incorporate that into our house menu.

Seriously, you don’t have to be FAT to eat healthy, and eating healthy food doesn’t mean you want to lose weight. (AH HAH! I got you thinking eh???)

So my little family. They’re not fat. Seriously, I think if anything Missy A needs some fattening up, but that doesn’t mean I shovel her junk food. AND that all goes for little Oscar. Yes, my new addition to the family.

Thanks to the guys at Nuffnang and Pedigree, I got to seriously road test my whole The Biggest Loser healthy eating thinking…

Pedigree has a new product, Pedigree Light & Mature Dogfood and formulated for less active chubba and older dogs. Oscar Boscar is not actually fat… or mature but I want him to be healthy so I’m giving him a go with Pedigree Light & Mature Dogfood. A fat fat dog is cute but reality is that it is really unhealthy. HAH!…and did you know that not only a percentage of us Aussies are over weight but 40% of our dogs are too! (Hmm wonder whether they considered that when they did the stats to point out that Australians are a fat country).

Anyway I really wished I had this for my late Faith. My last dog. She was fat, and well, very very old, and it was just her time to go. As she got older, she got fatter because she got arthritis and (join the dots) was …well… less active…and hence… fatter. ANYWAY so yeh this Pedigree Dogfood would have been perfect coz it is also formulated with 30% less fat and also has added glucosamine for doggy joints.

OOh and we just got back from doggy school, and DID you know that a dog’s sense thingie rates like this:

Smell, sound, sight and then TASTE!

So when Oscar, and any other dog approaches food, it first has to 1) SMELL good… then they assess the 2) texture and lastly only think about the taste.

…sniff…sniff… (HAH! i wonder how he even sees anything, so lucky he has a nose…)

…munch…munch…

OOh, also did ya know that Pedigree have partnered up with The Biggest Loser, and has all these doggy slim down tips hehehe, fancy that!

Ergh, Oscar just did a poop in my living room. Hmm wonder if Pedigree can come up with food that is formulated so that dogs don’t poop…. THAT would be even more awesome.
