24 Years

Yesterday was our 24th wedding anniversary !  24 years of togetherness and hopefuly with many many more years to come.  Our eldest will be 23 this years, youngest 19.  24 years of ups and downs, happy and sad, more happy than sad, more ups than down. Ultimately lots and lots of compromises, give and take.

I made dinner to celebrate our anniversary on the 14th Feb night, with everyone in and a Sunday, it was the best time. Actually I forgot that Monday is public holiday !  hehehe.  It is CNY.  We had leg of lamb, chicken tomato, tuna salad, lemon baby potatoes, baked cheese rice.  Plenty of food, we are still having the leftover today !  The cheese rice actually taste better after a day...

Tomorrow is back to work day.  Its gonna be quiet I know, but there's still work to be done. Wish I could be stay home for the rest of the week, but then I probably ended up sleeping all day !  No good, not good for me at all, or I'll end up like this cat........ 


better to go back to work.

Medical Results & 'Space' Themed Bedroom Decor

Got my medical results today, saw a doctor at DSH... When thru all my result, yada yada yada.... Its everything that I'd already suspected and expected, so no surprise there.  Blood pressure was good, under control (forgot to ask the doctor my reading just now, cheh), urine test normal, my x-ray - bones conditions okay (phew...), ecg results says that my heartbeat was a bit fast so was I anxious during the test of something? But okay when the doc checked just now.  Now for the blood test, others okay, sugar level good but my cholesterol level was high, bad high... so must look at my diet.  Change/revamp eating habits.  Less oil (fried food), less carbo, less sugar, less salt............

Doc said to switch to basmati instead of the regular rice and of course take so much less, but basmati is so expensive : (  Eat more veges, no problem here.  I need to go get more carrots and celery, good thing these are my fav, so its okay, its great, I know to cook the way I like it, just steam them with a little salt and lemon juice and I'm fine.

Went out to get some items for Aina's house keeping session this Tuesday.  She has decorate a bedroom and her theme is space as of sky, stars, astranouts kind of space.  So, its white, silver, blue and she's putting a bit of red for color. 

Yesterday took her to stationery store to get some supplies, Foams (for the stars, moon, sun, planets etc), glitters, glue, brush, coloring and that costs me RM50 +. She worked all night till morning, didn't sleep!  Saw her drawing & cutting the stars etc. This morning saw her coloring the cut-out hearts red.  Hearts???  Hmm, I didn't ask okay.  Then she wanted to borrow my bedsheets and comforters but in plain color, but mine are already so old and none in color that she wants, the newer one are flowery.  I have been meaning to buy new comforter set anyway.  Have been postponing it because of the price....  So, guess its a good excuse to buy, at 50% off anyway, High quality cotton, 450T, white, bedsheet set with duvet cover, and the quilt... came to RM339.00.  Adoi, good thing I'd overpaid my Visa card this month.  I charged RM300.00 to the card and paid cash for 39.00.  A pair of champagne glasses, after discount is RM15.90, from Living Quarters. A couple more things, some dangly glassy deco (SSF) and rose petals. Good thing this is her last year... Hospitality Mgmt and Tourism syllabus, are putting me in the poor house.

and, I think she should put this poster as part of her decor ;
