It’s been awhile since I last cash out from Paypal, and I’ve just realized that USD has dropped so much. 
But luckily, I’ve received sightly more assignment this week, so maybe sikit sikit can jadi bukit la. LOL! I’m only working for one network now, and cannot be bothered about the rest. No time to build more blogs, and also no time to catch any ads. If this network continues to be so generous, even if I have to write about Mesothelioma Cancer 10 times a month also never mind. If you give, I’ll take. No complains. LOL!
So, has the sh*riff been visiting you too?

My kids love it when daddy is away because they can have more TV. I can’t be too strict about it now since it’s their summer holiday. The first thing they do in the morning is, wake up, get showered and changed, go downstairs and turn on the idiot box. Of course, they can only do this because hubby is away, and they love to take their breakfast while watching Playhouse Disney. I found that it’s a good idea for them to do so too as it’s showing Little Einstein and Word World, which are great for kids.
Justin told me that they have to be at school at 8.30am, but what the h*ck la, it’s summer camp only mah. We will only leave home around that time, after Word World. 
Besides that, hubby will be going to work on his own very early in the morning, so he cannot interfere also. hahahahhaha
Come on la, give the kids a break. They are spending the whole day at school, and by the time we reach home, it’s already in the evening. Of course, they will glue to the TV again for Ben 10 and Batman or whatever as it’s Justin’s time to pick, while mommy is preparing dinner. I can’t just let them go play by themselves mah. Later got accident or what, then how? Hubby cannot complain too as he is the one who doesn’t want to have a nanny at home to watch the kids, so he better shuts up and let the TV do the babysitting job.
Anyway, it’s summer holiday. I shall cut down the TV time again when school reopens.
Gee…can I have one of those plasma tv stands and a flat screen TV in the kitchen? I have never had time for TV!

Franky, I don’t know much about my job description because there isn’t any! Taking over hubby’s job is like swimming aimlessly in the sea, trying to look for a float, but there isn’t any. Sigh…
My sales staff is here for almost a week, and she looks OK. I’m not sure how much she is coping as she can’t speak much English. So I only TALK to her when I want something to be done. So far, the older staff is guiding her well. He better passes everything nicely to her before he leaves! I even urged them to start visiting the customers, which are located in Sukhumvit, by ignoring those stupid RED protesters. Our biz can’t wait for some stupid morons who are congesting traffic somewhere in the city. Those who work in Sukhumvit can tell you that the condition there is not that bad 2 days ago. I dunno why the news sound so scary back home.
Hubby’s coming home tonight, and I guess he’s coping well as well. He will have a chance to visit a few nice hotels in this new job, how jealous la me. LOL! I wonder how his office furniture looks like? I have only went to his work place to pick him up that day, but didn’t walk in. Cannot walk in liao because it’s not our biz.

Hubby flew to Phuket this morning, and he will be back after 3 days. It’s his first week at his new work place, but the GM is handling over as quick as possible because he’s going back to his home country soon. Partly it’s also hubby’s fault la, the new boss offered him a job last month, but he was dilly-dally-dunno-why reluctant to accept earlier and also delayed in turning up.
So right now, he orr si also mein tak han. Busy tou sei. He probably needs colon cleansing soon. LOL!

I went for lunch on my own just now, and it’s nice to have a quiet and peaceful meal, without any disturbance. I went for Chinese food, and it’s been many moons since I last stepped into this restaurant. I won’t say that it has the best Chinese food in town, but it’s not too bad. I even had a little dessert all by myself. LOL!
I didn’t get any dim sum though. I would surely need fat burner pills if I still go for dim sum, main course and dessert!

After my first IPL, I haven’t had the time to go for the second treatment. I’m not sure if I should sign up the course too because I will be too busy to go to the clinic as appointed by the dermatologist. Maybe I will postpone the treatment until I have a better idea on how to handle my work.
Right now, I shall stick to my regular skincare, and hopefully the spots won’t get worse or I will get more fine lines. I should probably click here to learn more about wrinkle treatments. What to do? I’m not one of those who are born with “tien sang lei jiak” genes la…

Both our kids weigh at 20 and 16 kg respectively. But some times, they want daddy to carry both of them together, at the same time. Thus, hubby has to carry each of them in one arm and walk around for quite some time. By the end of the day, he might have a back ache. LOL!
I think he needs to build more muscle, if he’s going to continue carrying both kids at the same time. Maybe he will find these muscle milk reviews useful.

My gal, if you know her since baby, you would agree that she’s a good eater. She ate everything, anything, every time and any time of the day. When she was a baby, everyone thought that she didn’t have enough from my breastmilk. She was fully on breastmilk until 15 months, and I started supplementing her with formula in process of weaning her off. She had no problem taking solids after 6 months old, and started spoon feeding herself by one. She was eager to join others at the table, and she could easily eat on her own, maybe ask for more, and might be the last to leave the table when everyone was done.
She was not chubby, but she ate a lot. In short, meal time was a bliss with our little Isabelle.
BUT…things changed.
NOW, she’s a picky eater. Dinner is a stressful moment for us as she will start to complain even before she takes the first bite. She will tell us IT’S NOT THE RIGHT RICE, even if we have been taking red hom mali rice for 2 years. She will tell us the veggie is not nice, and it’s not broccoli. She will nag that we give her too much in her bowl, even if there are only 2 spoon full of rice, with some veggie, a piece of meat or fish and some egg. Bla bla bla…
That’s how sorrow she is, having to take her dinner. Sigh…
After a long day at work and coming home to prepare the dinner, handling a fussy eater can really test my patience. She can sit there, cry, eat a bit and fuss a lot for more than 30 minutes. Even after hubby’s finished the dishes and I’m done cleaning up, her plate is still FULL. In the end, hubby will just let her go. KEK SEI NGOR la.
Will the gong gong and po po come and handle this fussy kid for me? Beh tahan jor…

I know that the news back home sound quite worrying about the condition in Bangkok, but we are all fine here. It was quite peaceful in my area, even if the riot started yesterday. The red spots are all listed, so as long as we stay away, we will be alright. Something about Thailand is, they will list the date, venue, time, number of protesters and etc before any demonstration. They can demonstrate “peacefully” and those red areas are closed down to cars and common users, mostly. So, they won’t just simply attack any citizens.
There are a few demonstrations ever since we moved here, but we still don’t have plan to move back. We still love it here, funny huh? LOL!
Hubby has just got a new job and he should start working next week. His new boss will keep him updated as the office is located in one of the hot spots. I will be very busy start from Monday, without my mentor behind my back anymore. The new sales is coming in too, and I’m still very blur on how to explain everything to her. Sigh…It’s language barrier, how to translate the technical terms in Thai? LOL!
I’ll see how I can juggle the work, kids, house chores, and driving around all in one. Let’s see if I will go insane or I will survive these changes.

I love my neighborhood. It’s quiet, peaceful, and the kids have lots of friends here. Most of the neighbors know that I can’t speak much Thai, so some of them speak to me in English. There are 2 Indian families here who have stay in Bangkok for more than 10 years, and I always meet the mothers at the playground. We have no language barrier, so we chit chat to each other mostly. Their kids love to come to my house too, and usually turn my place upside down. *slap head*
Our landlord stays in Japan, and she has asked us a few times if we would like to buy the house. Frankly, I don’t. I feel that the house is too small for us, and I can see some crack lines at some part of the house now. Most of the houses here have this problem, and I realized this after visiting a few neighbors’ houses.
If possible, I will try to settle Justin’s primary school first, then get another house in that neighborhood. There are a lot of home plans in this area, and it’s all depending on our budget. We have checked out a few house plans, and our favorite one is the one near to my office. But the gated community is too remote, and it’s too far from any of our desired school. Sigh…
But before we can set eye on any house plan, we need to build up our company first. We can only purchase the house with company’s name, as foreigners can only own condominiums but not landed property. That’s why hubby passed everything to me and said that our dream house is depending on me now. O.o
How stressful…
