of dirty laundry and F1-trainees ....

work/studies have been pretty hectic these past few weeks ... so when the weekend came i welcomed it with open arms ... i planned to sit back and throw the legs up and do nothing ...

ofcourse that never is the case ... you see , this is when i play catch up with all the household chores that i neglected during the weekday ... long story short ....

with all the necessary house stuff done i was left tired and cranky ...

i thought dragging out the scrap-schtuff might lighten the heart ... alas , no hope , nada ... stared at my loot for ages .... until i managed to squeeze out this layout ... and boy, this one took ages ... a-g-e-s .... to complete ...

must admit that looking at the finished LO did make my heart lighter ...

this one is about Koh Ee and Koh Ann (my niece - the lady behind the wheels)- what a pair you 2 make !

leaving you in boo hoos, N

Oh plum plum plum ....

I cracked open my Vintage Plum Kit (June 09)

and made this layout in time for

MWL mid month challenge

hosted by Pooi ....

had tough time piling up the embellies ... and I think

it may not be as embellie-heavy as the other entries ....

anyways, am glad I took on this challenge cos

God only knows that I am a embelliphobic person ...

for example :

I have major issues with flowers ...

don't get me wrong ....

paper cut outs of flowers I can handle

BUT .....

when it comes to things like Prima flowers ..... I freeze !!!

I really can't seem to use them or know where to place them ...

I take them out ... look at them ... and ... put them back !

case closed !

Next, I buy many many many journaling tags ....

where are they ???

hmmm .... somewhere underneath the mountain

of papers at home ... banished ...

cos I have given up hope of

locating a suitable place for them on my LO's ;(

my conclusion :

I think I need some scrap therapy ... no SIC ... not retail therapy ;)

till I sort out my issues with embellishing ...

tata and take care .

My poor lil ducky ...

... is down with fever AGAIN !!!

Just when I thought it was safe to blog about his previous one which was in May ... sigh ... the hubs reassures me that this is common among school going kiddies ... they may be afflicted almost every month ... somehow i don't feel assured ... double sigh ... i guess my poor ducky has to learn to fight these bugs to build his own immunity armour ...

so there we were ... the designated mommy nurse (who has the flu - yuck!) and the feverish duck ... at home ... taking temps ... spooning meds ... sponging forehead ... blowing noses ... watching PHD together ... riding out those d*mn fevers ...

am thankful that duck is quite a good patient ... wasn't cranky, quacky or unreasonable ... however, he was a little more subdued yesterday ... not the usual active self ...

while he napped yesterday ... i had some free time ... managed to complete this LO ... journaling my thoughts/feelings/frustrations watching my ducky battle his fever ...

Title: my poor lil ducky

(photo was from the fever in May 09)

today ... nurse mommy is glad to report that the duck is much better ... almost 70% his normal self ... last high fever reading was at 6 am ... for which he woke mommy nurse when he started talking non-sense (hee ... he does this when the fever wakes him. when he was younger and not talking yet, he would cry to wake me up) ... *fingers crossed* the fever will stay away ...

that's it for now ... take care folks !

thanks for dropping by ...

What a character !!

I was cleaning up files on my laptop when I found a bunch of photos of O-boy taken before we left for KL. It was also the time when he had swinging high fever (38 was lowest and 39.8 the highest). So, me and him stayed at home as I nursed his fever.
I took this photo of him cos as you can see ... even with a rip roaring fever he still manages to look happy (PlayHouse Disney on the telly did help ... sooo grateful to Starhub)
Oh ... and see the green hairband he has on his head ... Yeah ! Mine ! That's how he wears it - like headphones. Don't ask me why but he loves my green hairband.
Hmmm ... mental note to self, get the Papa to spend more time with O-boy ... yikes !
He's fine now, all systems go go go ! Emm... yeah, he is a character all rite ! Full of spunk and life !

And how was your day ?

Loves,
