Shopping Craze

The shopping itch is getting on me lately. Probably there are sales everywhere now since there are a few celebrations coming. The Hari Raya Aidilfitri in October, Deepavali in November and Christmas in December. Sometimes I can resist myself in buying things but lately, I've been spending more than usual. Other than the normal household stuff and Ethan's milk and diaper, I also bought clothes for myself & Ethan, toys, not to mention other things I bought during the trip to Ukraine.

I've also asked my sis, who will be going to the states to buy some clothing for me, hubby and Ethan. I know Gaps and Guess are much cheaper there. I wish I could go there again for shopping. Not sure about toys though. Maybe should ask sis to check out as well. We will be celebrating Christmas in 3 months time and if we are going back to hubby's hometown for the celebration, it means more presents and big hole in the pocket.

Mixed Feelings

Finally, the good news has arrived! A miracle has happened! Something I've been waiting and waiting to hear. I've told the story of my friend, LY's baby earlier this year. Well, I'm happy and glad to know that he has fully recovered from cancer. He will undergo a minor surgery this Friday to remove the tube from his body. I'm really glad that this surgery is finally going to happen. This means that the hospital is very sure that the little boy is well and thus the tube is no longer needed. I'm really happy for my friend and I wish her all the happiness she deserves (though she will not be reading this coz she doesn't know I have a blog let alone talking about her in the blogosphere).

On the other hand, I'm feeling a little down and sad because I have to leave my little precious for a week. No, 8 days to be exact. Sigh.................................

Another official trip. This time is to Ukraine from 15-23 September. I'm not looking forward to it AT ALL! My heart felt so heavy, extremely heavy, to be separated from Ethan for so long. In fact, I told my mum and sis that if this trip is cancelled, I will 'belanja makan' (give them a treat).

But, if I were to tell this to other people especially the people at my office, they will think I'm SHOWING OFF! BLUFFING! NOT APPRECIATIVE! etc. etc. Why? Because majority of them think that it's a BONUS when you get to travel. So, when people say, 'Wah! So good ar, travel again", I will just try to be neutral, neither happy nor sad.

Work is work lar! If I'm asked to travel, I will go. But I never and will not play dirty tricks and politics just to get the opportunity to travel. You'll be surprised if I tell you how far some people will go so that they can travel.

Ok lar, enough ranting. If you want to know how is my mood now, see the photo below, Ethan expressed it so perfectly.
