2009 is Nearly Over

2009 is nearly over and I haven't written a single thing for a very long time. I wanted to really keep this up but got caught up in the rat race and neglected this. Lately, I have started to realise that I am missing out on noting down important things in my life because most days I am just so busy that life passes by without a backward glance. I really really want to start writing again. About my life. About my loved ones. Just about anything.

Best thing for me to do is to just start from whatever comes to mind.

1) I really dislike moving and everything that goes with it! I am surrounded by a sea of boxes and the hallway is like a maze that extends into the bedrooms. I just want a genie to magically put everything in the new place already. I just want to put my Christmas tree up. That's what I want to do. I love Christmas and I just want my tree up already.

2) So, yesterday we went to have dinner with mum. She had some prawns but didn't know what to do. My dear son wanted pasta. So I invented something that tasted brilliant at the end using those prawns and pasta. Added some tomatoes, onions and garlic and viola - my own version of a marinara pasta dish. Sometimes the best things come from the simplest things.

3) I am 15 weeks pregnant today. Little Bean (my hubby came up with the name) has a good strong heartbeat and my blood pressure is all good. I have a little belly pouch thing happening now where you kinda look like you had one too many hamburgers. I am so happy that the morning sickness is gone too because that was just not the best feeling in the world. At the same time, it was good to feel it because it was a reminder that I was pregnant.

4) I am addicted to Facebook.

5) I just came back from a long overdue trip overseas with my son. He got to meet all 3 living grandmothers (oone from my side and two from my hubby's). That was very special to me. He was very gracious with the women. He kinda freaked out the first time he met my grandmother because she must be the oldest person he has met ever. The second time he met her, he was very entertaining and was very sweet. He made me proud. Furthermore, in this same trip, I got to take him to his first Disneyland park. He loved it! I am looking forward to more Disneyland trips with him, hubby (who missed out on this one) and Little Bean :o)

6) At the moment, whenever we go somewhere or do something, my son wants to know how many minutes it will take. Everything revolves around "how many minutes" or numbers basically. Today, he said there are a million days in December! And that a toy he wants is "only $30" when it actually says you save $30 but the actual price is $99 lol. He looked through the whole Toys R' Us catalogue and he seemed to "need" a toy in each page. Even the girly toys. He wants a kitchen and a doll "that closes she's eyes when it lies down". On the same breath he also wants a PSP, a train set and a tool set (comes complete with its own cupboard to store your tools in).

I can not think of anything else to write. That will have to do for now. I am making my new year's resolution early... I will try my hardest to keep up this blog. Also, another new year's resolution is I will try to also take one photo everyday for the whole of 2010. I kinda did that this year but I am sure there were days when I totally forgot. So there you have it... set those resolutions in stone!
