Blogging Mojo! Where?

Oh man, really need my blogging mojo back! I need it! I need the blogging side income just as bad :P. You know what I mean. Nevermind that a dollar is only three ringgit, I still need it. It comes so handy when I shop online! It's like I have this access to the account I don't even work hard for. Paid blogging is peanut.

But sometimes I wonder if people really read what shit I blog about, nothing politically interesting or sexy, just plain old momma blogging in her pajamas. Shit! Since when my life is so routine and boring. A momma of 2 and already I sound like an 80 years old. Poor thing!

Good day

It's been a fruitful day for me. I've uploaded more photos of my product to my FB page and also to the website, I also did some headbands, and bought some more supplies like pins and clips. But it's not an easy start, I'm doing this all on my own without a help from the world. It's a one man show, erm, in this case, one woman show! I'm the owner, the worker, the designer, the blogger, the crafter (oh, what a name for someone who does craft, sounds weird, don't you think) and also the one who will be doing the packaging right up to delivery or posting it.

Where do I get the time to do all this with a 5 yo cheeky boy and a one year old baby girl? I'm proud I did it. Money and gold bullion don't just drop down from the sky. We got to earn it, to me it's all hardwork. I believe one day it'll pay off.

What was I thinking?

Call me blur and laugh all you want. I actually washed my face with this.

I mean that was an accident, not intentionally. OK, maybe I was blur and still half asleep, maybe I wasn't familiar with my sister's facial cleanser, i used it the night before, her cleanser is also in a white bottle with red wording, so maybe I wasn't thinking. I just grabbed it and slap it on my face. Hair-loss shampoo as facial cleanser. ::slap forehead::

Why blogging in my pyjamas?

You know the only reason I named this blog- Blogging in my pyjamas was because I had so much free time, I can basically sit home in my pyjamas all day, and not stepping out of the house at all. Oh ya, those were the days.

Now, my daily routine started at 7, fetching my son to school at 8am class, then again to fetch my nephew to tuition class and again to pick up my son at 12:45pm everyday! And on Monday and Wednesday, I got to send him to his tuition class. So, there goes all my time. And not to mention my 10 months old daughter at home to take care of.

And now, blogging in peace is not quite possible! My time at home or outside are normally occupied with my kids, they being the first priority in my life, something I so willingly do for them, you don't know how much you can love someone until you have kids.

Pursuing my dreams

It's late at night, and I'm still awake trying to figure out some questions that has been playing in my mind. I'm actually considering getting back into the workforce, to be financially independent and to be more productive in terms of work, and the other thing that weighs me down is how my kids are going to cope? Shermaine who is still on breastfeeding, will be a major challenge, Shern who is so used to having mommy around all the time, will have a hard time adjusting to not having mommy around 24/7.

A question so easy yet so tough. I need to weigh the pros and cons myself and figure out what's best for the kids and I. Of course, I dream of starting my own business, but that's obviously easier said than done, it requires a lot more of my time and a lot more hardwork than one can imagine, maybe I should just head to Louisiana Cosmetology School, pick up some skills there and have a beauty saloon of my own, doing what I'm most passionate about? Well, I'm lost, what do I do? What's best for me and my kids?

Bored as I am

I'm so looking forward to the weekend. No waking up early, chauffeuring my son to school, sleep in late, go shopping and go eat out. I'm so sick of staying at home, I'm stuck at home with no car, no bicycle, and with a motorbike which I have no license to ride. I so need to get out there to just to let my skin breathe, let my eyes roam and let my legs walk a mile in the mall. Can't wait for Friday!

::Yawn::

OH, didn't realised it's been such a long time since I last blog here. I've been pretty lazy lately, considering that being 11 weeks pregnant makes me sleepy all the time, meaning I spent at least half a day in bed, and the other half entertaining Shern. But I noticed for the past few days, I've been sleeping a little lesser than weeks before, maybe this fatigue thingy will be over very soon so that I can have more time to blog. LOL.

My house is a mess!

Just didn't imagine life will be this hard without a maid. The house is considerable dirty but still torelable. But what the heck right. I seriously cannot keep up with the amount of house chores that keeps adding up and up. It's really a never ending process, especially with two kids in the house that loves to create mess and leaves trails of whatnot they are playing, this house can only get messier by the minute and I seriously cannot keep up! I so need a maid.

Got to go catch some sleep. I really hate to wake up tomorrow with a huge panda eyes and besides that, one can only do so much work a day. No one wants to wake up from the wrong side of the bed and in my case, who's going to do the housework if tomorrow I wake up and find myself with a cervical collars attached to my neck!

Another Sunday without a maid

Another Sunday. What do you normally do on a Sunday? Today as usual, we sleep in until 10am. We promised little darling that we'll bring him to see the rally, but because I forgot to set the clock, we didn't make it. Hubs on the other hand, woke up with body ache and insisted that I massage him on his neck and shoulder. If you follow my baby blog closely, you'll know that he's a rally driver and on this late round of the rally, he crashed.

I've got loads of housework to catch up on. The floor is kind of sticky now, the laundry is like a never ending task, and the dogs are driving me nuts with their stinky shit all over the place. Ouch, please get me a maid!

Seriously, this early!

This is the earliest I got out of bed on a weekend. Hubs just leave home with my brother. At 7 am in the morning, those two late owls are already out of the house. The race is starting in an hour's time. Just hope that they won't get stuck in a traffic jam, yes on a Saturday. Crazy isn't it?

I just chucked some clothes into the washing machine, while waiting for it to wash, here I am, doing some early bird blogging. Just got to kill some time to before chucking the laundry into the dryer. Waiting is really not very fun.

My tedious life

Oh man, didn't know life without a maid is so tough. So many house work to conquer, so little time. Honestly, the house don't has to be all that squeaky clean, the clothes don't need to be all that tidy, and a messy bed is totally fine once in a while, because if I were to put 100% into every task I do in the house, I'll have to repeat what I do all day long because with two little kids in the house, clean is now such an impossible word to use.

I used to be so free, like a queen. So free in fact that I could easily find time to pursue an online degree with school mba. Seeing how busy I am now, I really have no choice but to put that option on hold. Now, I'm stuck with all sorts of errands like picking up Marcus from school, making meals, bathing the kids, keeping the house clean, doing the laundry, ironing and the thing I hate to do most is to clean the dog shit twice a day, make it two dogs, 4 times a day! I just cannot wait for the new maid to arrive. Just hoping it'll be pretty soon.

Bump bump bump

It's a rough ride for me now. Bumpy ride. I don't want to sound all pathetic, but the ugly truth is I'm not doing fine now. I have things I have to deal with, and to get over with. All I need now is more time to think.
Having said that, update on this blog will be slow if not seldom. But you can always visit my BabyShern. He's cute you know.

Note: I'm fine. Just a little pathetic at the moment.

Drive Space Jammed

My mind refuses to cooperate now when I needed it most. It's a little past midnight, a sleepy head like me just want to jump into bed, snore till the morning light. But we've got a flight to catch tomorrow, and I bet I won't even have the time to blog tomorrow morning.
Hubs is not going with us, as this is supposed to be a sister's trip. Too bad, Lynd couldn't book a flight to join us because the flight ticket is just too darn expensive as the mighty cheap Air Asia do not have direct flight from Singapore to B.

Sis, you bet you're missing all the fun..

Yes to plane ride

After what I said about no more plane ride for Shern, we decided to change our flight tickets to Indonesia. So when I told Shern that we will be going on a plane afterall, he was so excited. When I asked whether he wants daddy to come along with us, in his most macho voice he said, "Daddy so scared of aeroplane, how I bring him?" That sure gave us a good laugh. He's just pure joy to us, unpretentious and so lovable. Boy, I can never love him enough. So tickets has been changed, we'll be flying off this friday, can't wait! I'm sure this will be a very pleasant weekend for us, with lots of shopping, that I'm very sure.

Queue after queue..

At last, I got my new passport after 3 trips to the Immigration office. We went there yesterday at lunch time and the Immigration was packed like peas in a can! My queue number tells me that there's sort of like 100+ people ahead of me. Darn. I hate waiting, and what more Shern's daddy. There's no way he's going to spend hours waiting, sitting around like a fool when he has a thousand other errands to run. So we left.

This morning, I woke up at 7am, hurried myself hoping that I'll get there before the immigration open its door. I should have wake up earlier,but too late, I was caught in a bad traffic jam and got there only at quarter to eight. I was number 36 on the queue and that took me like 2 hours to be attended, and another queue to make my payment.
Passport will only be ready in 2 hours, and I was told to get a queue number to collect my passport. I just couldn't wait there, I was so sleepy I drove home and jumped into bed, with Shern.

Then again at 3.30pm, after I picked up Marcus from his Kumon class, then only I went to collect my passport, the queue in the evening started to die off. I got my passport within 10 minutes of waiting. Must say that the Immigration office system and their services has improved tremendously. Overall, 9 brownie points.

New passport. Yippie. Go holiday!!

I'm so into Grey right now

I seems to be blogging lesser nowadays, that's because I'm stuck at home all day watching Grey's Anatomy Season 1, 2 and 3. I know it's just not me, but many others too get addicted to watching dramas like this. The last drama I watched was Gossip Girl, I totally love it. You know that girl Serena van De Woodsen, she's gorgeous. Not forgetting her very handsome boyfriend, Dan Humphrey.
I actually downloaded this movie for free. Free movie, free seating, free watching schedule, it cannot get any better than this right. I hope you had a great day too, because mine is sure smashing. LOL.

Why why why

It's hard to be me right now. I'm feeling really really down. Just don't know what to do to make things right. Something so easy suddenly seems so hard. There's no playing around with options because I ain't have any. This time, the ball is not in my court. Well, it has never been. I'm sick.
If you read this, and you don't get me, that's fine because that's my point. Just to whine.

Busy like I'm a C.E.O

If you did noticed, I haven't got much to blog about lately. Really, I've been really busy though I can't tell you exactly what I did. A day routine will be something like this, wake up, shower, then out for breakfast tea with hubs and Shern, then hubs will be off to work, then we'll normally spend an hour or two at home, do the usual stuff like check the mail, check out what errands to run, and off we'll go out till dinner time. Shern usually goes to bed at 8pm, but of late, he always endded up sleeping at 10/11pm. Blame it on the shopping.
For the past one and a half week, we've got guests at home, which also mean a lot of shopping trips to the mall. I mean really a lot, like at least5 hours everyday. Our new maid is doing fine, and we quite like her. Bug bad news now is that my maid decided not to renew her working permit anymore, she wants to go back to Indon to get married. Ouch, their story of marrying and divorcing is all too common, it's like they can almost marry a stranger. I offered her a hundred ringgit pay rise and she refused, so let her go home for good, get married and live happily ever after.
Got to hit the pillow for now. Very tired. As usual, I had a very long day. Nights for now.

Is your day as gloomy?

It rained cats and dogs all day long. I already got enough of sleep, given that I woke up at 10 today, but the gloomy weather just made me yawn and want to hit the pillow and snore. I even bribed the boys to take a nap, cos both of them were just too noisy for me to handle, forgive me, but I was damn sleepy. I bribed them with a trip to the bread shop, which by the way also sells very delicious gelato ice-cream (the boys favourite ice-cream). As we were lying next to each other in bed, Shern looked over to me and said, "the sky not dark also, why must sleep now?"
I rolled and twist and turn a bit, found my hibernation spot, then bugger, hubs called asking me to send his car to the workshop, and a while later, Marcus tuition teacher came and left without picking Marcus. I got to drag myself out of bed to send Marcus off, then to the workshop. I'm really tired now, I really got to get some rest.

Gym or no gym?

The thing about me is that I procrastinate too much, too often. I've been wanting to sign up for a gym membership for the longest time. So, I finally went yesterday, twice! And the elevators were out of service, and I didn't dare risk walking up the very dark stairs so I went home. The gym is very near my house, but it's sort of a creepy place, it's not the busiest place in town. Hence, let's just say walking up that dark stairs inviting trouble. I'm really having second thoughts about signing up in that gym. What if the elevator there breaks down 4 times a week ( I know, but the maintenance there really sucks big time, my sister used to rent an office lot there), that leaves me very little days to go to the gym. But then again, the gym only charges $90 a month membership.
I really need to do some work out, I can't just laze at home everyday sipping ORGANIC VEGAN CHOCOLATE and HOODIA GORDONII and glued to the computer. You know, when I'm bored, I tend to eat more and also more frequent. Then of course I gain more weight. And when that happens, I get all stressed up when my clothes don't fit. Stress or not stress, kava is not the only thing I need, I really need to lose weight this time.
