When the heart says so

 

Today in the office, a close colleague of mine displayed a positive change to us all. It was not unexpected, but it wasn’t expected as well. At least not so soon. But we like it anyway – so, Congratulations, you!

I guess when the heart says so, nothing is impossible. One who forgets, can be snapped into reality. One who’s angry, can be cooled. One who’s impatient, can withstand the greatest test. One who dictates, can follow. One who hates, can love.

The heart, after all, symbolizes love. And love, conquers all.

Have a lovey dovey weekend, all!

Neglected

Not me, the blog.

I have been a little bit caught up with work, which explains the lack of (ehem!) enthusiasm to update this blog. Though truthfully, nothing much to update.

But I’ve been wanting to write about mummy-0’s baby shower last Sunday which was so much fun! With the theme ‘Something B’, I wore a black top, which was naturally, the easiest, and came up with my own definition of ‘Black is Beautiful… I’m not!’.

The best dressed went to a ‘Bride yang belum siap’ which wore a really nice long white dress complete with a tiny head gear and veil. I also loved the mummy and baby ‘Bandits’ combo. Too bad I didn’t have any photos. Lately, my relationship with the camera has turned a little bit sour… plain lazy, I guess!

Mummy-o’s sisters even dressed up as a ‘Baby’ (complete with diaper and pacifier) and a ‘Ballerina’. Her daughter was a ‘Baby Bride’. Such thoughtful family members, and I sure do love their creativity in the games arena!

I especially loved the ‘guess the size of mummy-o’s tummy’! All we had to do was cut a strand of wool thread to the length of how big her tummy is… and yes, I didn’t win. I guessed a tad too big.

But hey, at least I got a prize for guessing the number of booties and mittens in the container! Actual amount is 79, and I guessed 78! Not bad, huh? A stripey wristlet is mine to keep now, together with the pucci-print-alike handphone case/coin purse door gift too, of course!

It was a really well-organized and intimate event which definitely lit up the already-smiling expecting mummy’s face!

So now, I only have to worry about next week’s trip (which is still not confirmed), to Kerteh, and maybe my first-ever assignment – offshore! Yikes!

How time flies…

Shasha came up with the idea-a birthday wish on the board for Aunt Zetty in London!

… and it’s the weekend again! Photos of the playdates for the kids + baby shower for Dydd & Enal + Adib’s 4th birthday celebration at Shasha’s house last Monday.

We had a great time, the new babies behaved extremely well (bravo Rania, Anggun & Arissa!), the toddlers behaved somewhat okay throughout the evening (with toddlers, there is no such word as behaving extremely well, I guess! hehe.), but yes, they allowed the mummies to chat freely and did their own things without needing much supervision – and that’s good enough for all of us!

And this weekend, another baby shower to attend… with the theme being ‘Something B’, what should I be wearing? Hmmm…

Update : The Uncelebrated Day

Jayne said this to me just before I left office today :

Dude…
Happy Valentine’s

hahahahaa although we don’t celebrate
but I want to ikut trend
(this is the only chance to express my love without feeling silly )

Hmmmm… maybe I should send her an sms every day, from today until Monday perhaps – to tell her I do love her too (without feeling silly), just to prove my point that I am lovey dovey every day, not just on V Day!

Al-Fatihah

As much as we enjoyed the trip last week, we received this heart-wrenching news on our 2nd day there :
