			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I must give myself a pat on the shoulder for being able to rush rush rush things out in the morning. Besides preparing bentos, I cook dinner, then get myself ready, have breakfast and rush for yoga. It&#8217;s quite hard in the first week as I could only reach there on time, and didn&#8217;t have much to warm up. Oh boy, my body was all stiff!</p>
<p>But this week onwards, I&#8217;ve got used to the rush. If I&#8217;m sending the kids to school when hubby&#8217;s away, I can even reach there earlier. Of course, I don&#8217;t do pretty bentos as much as I used to, and the kids complained a bit. <img src='http://iamshoppingmum.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_razz.gif' alt=':P' class='wp-smiley' />  No choice la, I must make some selfish sacrifice. LOL!</p>
<p>Luckily, there is a shower area at the yoga center. It&#8217;s not really a center but a nice house with a big yard. I really love the gardens!!!! Most ladies will take their time to chit chat after the class but yours truly has to rush for shower and change and off to work. Sigh&#8230;no time to dab any <a href="http://www.cleopatraschoice.com/foundations.html">mineral foundation</a> also. Don&#8217;t care la&#8230;</p>
<p>I&#8217;m trying my best to go 3 times a week. Hopefully, I can keep it up.</p>]]></content:encoded>

<p>But I shall try to take some vitamin C and B for coming days to fight with the flu bugs. Ahhhh Chooo&#8230;.</p>]]></content:encoded>

<p>Everything is tasteless to me know, so I don&#8217;t need an <a href="http://www.weightlossdietpills.com/appetite-suppressants/">appetite suppressant</a> to eat down my food intake. Don&#8217;t have the appetite to eat much too. I better rest more and sleep earlier at night.</p>]]></content:encoded>

<p>So I slowly switched to some skin clinic brand. It&#8217;s cheaper and works for more. However, the whole range comes in 10 bottles. I kid you not. Really spend a lot of time just applying them all. LOL!</p>
<p>I would have skipped it if I have more time for facial or treatment. Since I don&#8217;t have it, I better just stick to the time consuming products!</p>]]></content:encoded>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I was down with a bad flu after CNY. Head was spinning and I wasted a lot of tissues. But after having fruits only for lunch for the past few days, I&#8217;m feeling much better. At least I&#8217;m not making wantan this morning! Yippie!</p>
<p>I can&#8217;t afford to be sick, and I hate the feeling of getting sick but still have tonnes of things to do. Really<em> tak han s** men tak han pean</em>. The kids will be having holiday soon, so I better be as fit as possible to handle the stress!</p>
<p>Time flies, Justin is going to graduate from kindergarten this month. He should be in Standard 1 if he&#8217;s back in M&#8217;sia, but it&#8217;s ok la, school term is slower by 5 months here. After that, both kids will be transferred to a bigger school. SIL said a lot of doctors and lecturers send their kids there. Oh well, not that this is important to me, I just want the kids to be in a bigger school with more friends and better environment. Not that I need any connection in <a href="http://www.healthcarejobsite.com/">healthcare listings</a> jobs anyway. <img src='http://iamshoppingmum.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_razz.gif' alt=':P' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>BTW, I&#8217;ve uploaded a lot of photos taken during CNY, so do check out my albums in FB. Of course, it&#8217;s only open to family members. <img src='http://iamshoppingmum.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_razz.gif' alt=':P' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>]]></content:encoded>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I haven&#8217;t tried a lot of <a href="http://quickweightloss.org/">quick weight loss diets</a> but maybe one day I will need one. I don&#8217;t have time for exercise, not that I&#8217;m making up excuses, but time is really limited! I told hubby last night that if we have a reliable nanny, then I won&#8217;t have to be so tied up every day, I can even go for spa or gym once in a while. But now, besides working hour, I&#8217;m all tied up with them.</p>
<p>Should I just run after them while they go cycling? But my kids, they will get too excited if I run and they will think it&#8217;s a chasing game. A lot of cars are coming back in the evening, so it&#8217;s very bad idea to have kids cycling too fast near the park. There is no bicycle track here so they have to use the service road.</p>
<p>Oh well, maybe I just swallow some diet pills if I&#8217;m desperate.</p>]]></content:encoded>

<p>Anyway, I really don&#8217;t have the interest in Thai. I can&#8217;t speak well yet but manage to survive for 2.5 years. Forget about reading Thai though, that one I gave up. I would rather read more about <a href="http://www.mesotheliomahelp.net/about-mesothelioma.html ">Mesothelioma</a> since I&#8217;ve blogged a million times about it than picking up Thai seriously.</p>]]></content:encoded>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>All my wisdom teeth are gone!!! For GOOD! Yippie!</p>
<p>I took the courage to remove the last one last Friday, just 2 days after the 3rd removal. The dentist is good, in fact way much better than the first one in Ipoh. Damn, that was my WORST dental experience ever.</p>
<p>So, with all wisdom tooth removed, I don&#8217;t have to worry much about not being able to brush my teeth well or the wisdom teeth pushing the rest of my teeth just to squeeze out and it hurts, a lot!</p>
<p>I won&#8217;t be stepping into the clinic for the next 6 &#8211; 12 months *fingers cross*. Of course, I must take good care of my teeth, or if I hit the lottery, I might go and try invisalign which costs THB180K. D*mn expensive!!! How many <a href="http://www.thesource.ca/estore/Product.aspx?language=en-CA&amp;catalog=Online&amp;category=smart-phones&amp;product=1716060">htc desire reviews</a> should I crap on my blogs to get that amount of money? LOL!</p>]]></content:encoded>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I&#8217;m one of those freaks who must settle some important issues before I can really settle down and work. These issues might be something like&#8230;tooth extraction. <img src='http://iamshoppingmum.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_razz.gif' alt=':P' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>I had my first wisdom tooth removed many years ago, way before I was married. It was done in Ipoh and the whole process FREAKED ME OUT. It&#8217;s so painful, I have swollen face to work for days. I HATE IT.</p>
<p>My second wisdom tooth extraction was done 2 years ago in Bangkok, and it&#8217;s not that painful. In fact, it was great. It totally changed my perception about tooth removal, but still, the fear is still there.</p>
<p>So, when I saw some black spots on my last 2 molars 2 days ago, I freaked out. I try to floss and brush my teeth well but it&#8217;s hard to reach the end to my top 2 wisdom teeth.</p>
<p>Needless to say, I went to the dentist clinic yesterday, but the first one was closed and the second one was too crowded. Ok, it&#8217;s not too crowded but I have to wait for 3 patients ahead of me. But the sound of the &#8220;eekkk eeekkk eerrkkk&#8221; in the dentist&#8217;s room scared me a lot so I couldn&#8217;t sit there and wait. I cabut and went to the wet market and fix dinner as early as 2.30pm. <img src='http://iamshoppingmum.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_razz.gif' alt=':P' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>But today, I made up my mind to go to the dentist. Luckily, I didn&#8217;t have to wait too long. I thought I could have the teeth filled, but the dentist said it&#8217;s too deep in, and even if they are filled, they will decay again some time later. He suggested that I just remove them, any time I like.</p>
<p>So the next question is&#8230;how long will it take before it&#8217;s painful?</p>
<p>He said, oh well, you have got 6 months, but it might give you bad breathe.</p>
<p>WHAT??? BAD BREATHE???</p>
<p>Die die also must remove la like that, hai mai????</p>
<p>Ok, when he&#8217;s cleaning my teeth, I was still hesitating if I should get one removed first and come back for the next tooth. I was thinking &#8230;. I got to buy pressie for Thong Thong as it&#8217;s her birthday today&#8230;I got to pick up kids early and get them back to the office for cake cutting&#8230; I haven&#8217;t taken my lunch&#8230;. I have to drive later will it be too painful&#8230;.I am such a coward!!!</p>
<p>But in the end, I made up my mind on the spot to remove one first. So, there came the needle *faint*, then the tools *faint again*&#8230; Not that I can see everything clearly but I could peep from the face cover.</p>
<p>The dentist said it would only take 10 minutes but yours truly here was too dramatic, and too kiasi, my breathing was very rapid and my heart beat was way too fast and loud, he might be able to hear it. Even the nurse couldn&#8217;t help laughing. <img src='http://iamshoppingmum.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_razz.gif' alt=':P' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>Then, he asked me to place my arms by the side of the bench, and I HELD IT REALLY TIGHT!!!</p>
<p>The feeling of having your tooth extracted is not really nice, at least to me&#8230;</p>
<p>Ok, it&#8217;s done in the end, after a very long 10 minutes. Ok, it&#8217;s way more than 10 minutes. <img src='http://iamshoppingmum.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_razz.gif' alt=':P' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>After it&#8217;s all over, I was still shaking. Why must I always to through all these sh*t alone??? Sigh&#8230;</p>
<p>Anyway, there is one more to go. Another dramatic side of me will come out soon because I kiasi the small decay will became a big one.</p>
<p>So, I&#8217;m less wiser now, with only one wisdom tooth left. That one must go too.</p>]]></content:encoded>
