Somewhere over the rainbow…

My Kids Room

It’s time to train my kids to sleep in a separate room. I’m not sure if this will work yet, but we bought colorful furniture for them to make the room more attractive.

Blue wardrobe for Justin and a pink one for Isabelle

They will be sharing the same room first, and the other room might be used as their playroom and study corner.

Colorful book shelves

We haven’t bought the study tables and we decided to let them choose by themselves later. I know that both of them like purple, so I found a store which sells purple kids furniture! However, it’s best to let them choose first. There’s no hurry.

I’m yet to get the mini fountain and outdoor furniture, so the garden is not complete yet.

A mini fountain under the trees will be nice huh?

Mmm…more flower plants?

Outdoor furniture here? Or a baby pool?

Bicycle for the kids?

There are still a lot of things to buy and some of the furniture will arrive when we are not around. SIL will help us to receive them so there should not be a problem.

Just an Update

I hardly blog these days and once I reach our home in Bangkok, I instantly knock out after cleaning up the house. I’m so tired, the only thing I want to do is Zzzz….. I told hubby that we might need to plan our time well when the kids are here as I need to fix dinner for them, so we can’t be back too late. I think our lives will begin with wake up early, get them ready for school, we go to work, then pick them up and bring them back to our office, we continue working while they will stay there for hours before we go back home to fix dinner and clean up the house, and then everyone goes to sleep like a pig. What a day huh?

But I try to see this as another way of spending more time with the kids then placing them at full day nursery. Pity them la… At least they can still see us at the office, even if I know they will be yearning for attention. I’m used to multi-tasking anyway, so we should be ok gua…

For the time being, I’m learning Thai, but I can’t read anything yet. I’m reading about a budget software on ecommerce too as BIL forced suggested me to make good use of the software which was bought for 2 years but left there unattended. Alamak, I hate reading about software.

However, we still managed to go gai gai sometimes, and maybe we will catch a movie tonight as SIL has a babysitter today. In short, my days are pretty good here in Bangkok so the next step is bring the kids here and get them adjusted to a new environment. I think we will be doing fine.

Update on The House

We have a nice garden here in our house in Bangkok. It’s not big but with a mini fountain and some green plants, I think it will look nicer. I want to get some flowers to be placed in the house too, and if hubby won’t mind, I want to fill the house with lots of wholesale calla lilies and glass vases! I’m worried that my kids might accidentally break the vases too, but since they are older now, I think they understand that they have to be more careful with the vases.

Once hubby is not too busy with his work here, we will go shopping again. We have been shopping a lot lately, we need to rest for a day or two. After that, we will go shopping for more.

In Bangkok

Hubby and I arrived in Bangkok last night. We thought that the kids will make a fuss about us leaving them in Penang, but they surprised us by being obedient and they understood that we are away for a while but we will be back to bring them over on the next trip. We spent lots of quality time with the kids yesterday until they sent us off at the airport.

 
Isabelle was sleepy but Justin was totally energetic

Both of them didn’t cry. They waved goodbye to us and gave us hugs and kisses before they left. Gee…miss them miss them miss them!

Anyway, we have got the keys this morning so I will be busy cleaning the house tonight. I might not be blogging that much, but there are some photos I took over the weekend which are yet to be shared. Stay tune though, and I will try myself to update my blogs from Bangkok.

Weighing The Clothes…

Hubby helped me to pack up the clothes last night. We were cautious not to exceed the maximum of 30kg load, so we weighed the clothes as we packed. My clothes only weighed 5kg, while his was more than 9kg. The kids’ clothes made up about 11kg and we will see what should we bring to make up the weigh.

I told hubby, “See? Your clothes all so heavy. My all super light weight, I should bring more of mine.”

He said, “Ya, yours light, but you have more a lot there already and we still have half of your clothes here in the wardrobe.” Wa lau leh…like I don’t know I have a lot meh? LOL! Actually, I wanted to bring some shoes along, but I will see how should I pack them. The boxes are out, definitely. But the funny thing is, my skincare bag weighed 1kg. Now only I know how heavy they are and they are all in mini small sample size! I have too many of them and I dump all in a bag and bring them around on traveling. I didn’t know how heavy they are until last night. Siao liao, bring so much skincare samples along!

Besides that, both of us weighed ourselves too. Hubby is getting thinner, that’s for sure. I lost another kilo due to the flu bug and ear infection. No need to take Hydroxycut, just ask me to pass my flu virus to you. But let me warn you, having an ear infection is very painful. Still want or not?

Packing Up

My maid and I have been busy splitting up my kids’ clothes into 2 groups and one of the groups will be brought over to Bangkok soon. Then I wanted to proceed to packing some toys.

I told Isabelle that I might want to give her block puzzles away since she’s not interested in playing them anymore, and there’s no point leaving them here. To my surprise, she said “No, cannot. Mei mei puzzle.” I told her that I’m not giving to a stranger but only to Elizabeth, but she said firmly, “No, no can. Mei mei puzzle, no give.”

Wow! I didn’t expect her to be so obsessed with her toys even when she’s not playing with them anymore. The same goes to Justin, I told him to leave some toys for the cousins since they are so close and enjoy playing with each other, but he quickly moved most of his toys from downstairs to our room or kept them in his drawer. Gosh, apa apa also don’t want to give away. Sigh…

So, baby Lizzy, sorry ya? I can’t give second handed toys to you, not yet and not now. Ask your papa to sell a few more term life insurance quotes and use all those commission to buy more toys for you la. Actually, Elizabeth also has a lot of toys. LOL!
