checking in again

life's been pretty hectic for me in the last 1 year or so.

my son is almost 2 yrs old now & i'd like to believe that both the husband & i have settled into parenthood rather well. we're still without a maid which is both a blessing and a hassle at the same time. the little boy goes to the babysitter whose family adores him. lovely.

work is busy. busy is good. but work is also full of politics right now. my team is stuck in the middle and we get whacked left, right and centre. my poor colleague, who recently joined me. she must be regretting her decision haha.

mother's day is coming up & we're preparing home-made burger patties and a salad dish for a potluck. my husband's into this cooking thing right now. of course this is just an occassional thing lah. without a maid, we hate having to clean up after cooking. even if it's just cooking maggi.

speaking of the husband, hes also into healthy living right now and has lost almost 10kgs since march. he exercises and makes better food choices. so proud of him. although sometimes i think hes a bit obsessed with it haha... he said that once he reaches his target weight, he'll take me shopping for new clothes... for him... but i think i might be able slot in a couple of items for myself ;p. i'm supposed to advise him on fashion. macam lah i ni fashionable sangat. and macam lah he will listen to me. my husband's inherently old school about everything. so i can only imagine the brow-beating i have to do to get him to buy the kind of jeans i think would be flattering for him. dont get me wrong, his current style is ok. luckily for me, he just likes playing it safe, so although its not the most trendy of fashions, he can still get away with it. imagine if he was stuck in the 80's... die lah me...

speaking of clothes, i just found out that i can get nice clothes in reject shop. for kids too. so my son got some nice new clothes last weekend. woohoo! poor boy, beli dekat reject shop only. oh well, my husband said theyre not priced like rejected clothes. tonight, i'm gonna have some me time at the curve. so i'll go have a look-see. i think i ought to dress nicer. i'm stuck in wearing functional jeans and baby-tees cos i have a toddler. so tonight, i'm gonna go shopping for some girly stuff :p.

i think my credit card's gonna melt tonight.
