Change of Plans

Today... heard the girl coughing in the morning...although she was already coughing slightly yesterday.

The boy has been sick since Friday... cough and cold. Got from school. Again.

We were planning to go down to Seremban today. To visit the in-laws.

Cannot go already. Poor Ryan. Disappointed. Has been looking forward to see his cousins since 2 weeks ago.

Was planning to put up the Christmas tree too today. No sun. Cloudy day. Need to sun it first. But having second thoughts in putting up the tree. Coz wouldn't want my present cockroach family to have an extra place to venture to. Perhaps spray the tree with citronella... would that ward off the roaches???

Another full day staying at home. Sigh. Sometimes its tiring staying at home. I rather go out. But I have so many things to do here. Lots of tidying up.

Little girl is sleeping now next to me on her bouncing chair with the pacifier in her mouth. Hubs is cooking his own brunch (smells like fried egg) and the boy is playing with his puzzles and toys.

This is a stay-in Sunday feeling...

My Christmas Shopping List

Best part about Christmas is shopping for presents for the family and friends. Especially the kids ( my sisters kids and mine). But getting presents for the kids can also be the hardest since kids now have everything...

I plan to get Ryan a car set.... either a police station or maybe a fire station. Not sure. Need to make a trip to Toys R Us soon. He also asked me to get him a pair of sunglasses.

As for Allyson... I guess clothes would be the most practical for her. Or a development toy. I like Lamaze toys. Wait for sale.

Normally every year, my sisters and I would give ideas what to get for each others children. Coz we wouldn't want to get a present and the children already have that.

As for my father... maybe something for the kitchen???

I am thinking to get for my in-laws each a nice king size bedsheet... and vouchers too. See lah... depending on my budget.

My Christmas Wish List

I can't believe that Christmas is about one month from now. Time to plan my Christmas present list and also my Christmas lunch for my in-laws. Although I am not much in the Christmas mood yet, better start planning early coz the days will surely fly by very quickly.

So... what would I like for Christmas...???

(Scratch head)

1. Photo frames to put the kids pictures in it

2. Sports shoes - for exercise

3. A silver pendant and chain (from Perlini)

4. A food processor (Phillips brand) for blending food for Allyson

5. Clarks shoes ( saw these Mary Janes yesterday... nice!)

6. More baking equipment???

7. A new fragrance (some thing light and feminine... last time I bought a perfume was like 2 years ago...)

So... hubs... take your pick... which one of the above that would be sitting under my Christmas tree??? Hint! Hint!

New tastes

Got this Pringles Soft shell crab chips last week... couldn't resist not trying this flavour. Was suppose to keep to my 'Healthy eating' motto...but what the heck... a few pieces of sodium-filled chips won't harm me, right?

Anyway, it tasted okay. Only okay but very very saltish. Needed to drink a whole cup of water after that. Had to limit myself to 3-4 pieces each time. But hubs enjoyed it.

Sometimes its nice to have a change once in a while. Do something from the norm. So what did I do? I bought Nissin noodles yesterday!!! haha! Great big deal, right? Well, for one... I would NEVER spend RM7.50 on a pack of instant noodles. But well, never say NEVER!

I got the japanese flavoured noodles that came with seaweed. Had it for lunch today.

Any good?

For about RM1.50 per packet as compared to RM0.80 for Maggi Mee... I would say it is worth the money lah! More tasty and the portions are bigger. Also more unsual flavours. After having eaten Maggi Mee all my life and exposing myself to flavours like Chicken, Curry and Assam Laksa... of course seeing different flavours from Nissin is refreshing!

Hurray for change!!
