Moving Mama

We have to move out from our current flat. Our landlord wants the house back due to unforeseen circumstances. Hubby and I have been busy since the last month trying to find for a suitable place to live in by December 6th. That means when Vas comes to visit, she'll be busy babysitting Haidan while we pack and move.

On the other hand, we got news yesterday that Mama cannot come to the UK this December as planned. Apparently, they've changed the visa rules (again!) and she cannot apply for a 6 months visa in the same calendar year. Thus, Mama's visit must be postponed to January next year instead. Poor Mama, she was really looking forward to celebrating Haidan's 1st birthday and hanging out with Vas & Mate for Xmas. But she said, if it meant waiting for another month to spend more time with her family, then it's for the better.

I'm off work today and staying at home because Haidan is not feeling too well. He's been coughing the whole night last night and this morning he's got a temperature. Went to the GP, and she said Haidan caught the common winter flu and prescribed antibiotics. Phew, thank God it's the flu coz we were hoping that it wasn't his UTI! He's recovering well with the medicine and constant hugs and kisses now...

My emo moment

I haven't been blogging for quite a while. That's because a lot of things (both good and bad) has happened since my last post.

Since my last post, I was bogged down by work. I now have to leave very early in the morning to make sure I finish as much as I can before 5pm. Our report is due next week and I have to give a presentation to the client the following week.. eeeek! And of course, me having the best of luck- masa nak rush to print an urgent document tu lah printer paper jam lah, fire alarm bunyi lah, kopi tumpah lah... (sigh!)

Since my last post, Mate was here!!! We went for a short tour around London and then to the zoo and then jalan-jalan cari makan (note to self: must songlap pictures from her blog. Michal is so adorable...(you're so lucky Mate!)... though I think he might be scared of me now, knowing how garang I am with Hasli & Haidan.. eheh.... Though it's a short visit, I'm already missing her dearly... so can't wait for Xmas when she comes to visit again!

Since my last post, I realise how lucky I am to have good friends who are there to have a good laugh with and who are there to support when things go wrong. To my best friends Vas, Mate & Nina- thank you for your long distance calls. To my sisters Marisa, Mimi, Fay & Amy- thank you for putting a smile back to my face. I love you all so much!

Since my last post, Haidan has grown far too fast. He can now stand and cruise a bit, roll over (finally!) and shuffles. He mimics my laugh and loves to grab my hair for a kiss. He's beginning to be clingy as well, getting all emo when I leave the room. I will try and post his latest pictures once we.... errr... hmmm... find the camera.... (hmmm... ya lah, where's our camera ah??...)

Since my last post, an unexpected left me so stressed and insecure. What can you do when you really want something so bad, when that something is so perfect, it ticks all the boxes but it is not within your reach? Money you can always find.. but the perfect home is not easy to come by.... It brought tears to my eyes everytime I think of it, how beautiful it is and how close we were to achieving it. But alas, it's not me who makes the final decision...

Sigh.....
