Happy MotHeR's DaY - PearL or DiaMonD?

Yessss...as it's known worldwide, yesterday was Mother's Day. So, being the lovely daughter, I wanted to call mum 1st thing in the morning, right after I got off work (midnight shift). But then, wanting her to sleep in, didn't have the heart to wake her up as early as 7am.

So, I went back, took a shower & 'wasted' time FB-ing before picking up the phone to call her at 8am. But then, she didn't answer after 2 tries...so I gave up & went to bed.

Woke up at around 4.30pm & first thing in my mind that's UNDONE is to call her. So, I tried again & again, no answer. Then I tried calling Baobei's number instead. Baobei said she's home alone while mum took the day off playing mahjong at a friend's place. Baobei said she'll be back any minute coz daddy just went over to pick her up. So I chatted with Baobei, feeling deep inside that I miss them sooooo dearly! I have not been home since the BIG DAY!! & we're celebrating our 6-month Anniversary this 28th! Gosh!! Time really flies!

So, just as mummy stepped into the house, I got Baobei to pass the phone to her. Wished her Happy Mother's Day & told her I miss her...so so much! She said, "Miss you too, dear!" & then, this conversation between us was so nice, that I wanna remember it forever:

Me: Mum, can I ask u something? Am I your 掌上明珠?? (Got the idea from TVB's latest series)

Mum: What do you think is my answer, my dear?

Me: Errr....I think I'm not your 掌上明珠, but your 掌上钻石！！

Mum: Yessss!! You are right! You're always mummy's precious diamond!! Everyone knows..Even your Uncle John said that on your Wedding Day!

Awwww....so sweet....miss you & love you so so so very the muchie, Mama...See you next month!

As I have blogged previously, we got the keys couple of months back. & the renovation is coming up soon. The only problem is; we find it hard to save $$ fast enough for it...hahaha...

Anyway, have paid IKEA many trips recently for ideas. I roughly have an idea of what I want. Biasalah...as I've always been known for being determine, stubborn & wanting things MY WAY...hehe...anyway, here are some ideas that I like & thinking of how to incorporate all of it into my small modest little home:

Thinking of having this in the bedroom as my little cozy reading corner..with fur, cushion & a cup of coffee for a relaxing afternoon (with AIR CON on of coz!!) ~ but I want this in white as the blue clashes with our bedroom theme

Oh yes, a Princess Bed for nobody, nobody but ME!! I've always wanted this after watching TVB's 'Triumph in the Skies' - Fit for the PRINCESS in ME..hehe

Now the MOST important part of the bedroom of coz...is NONE other than my wardrobe..which will occupy the whole wall next to the bed...wuahahahaha....

We quite like this dining table..not too big, not too small & best of all, we can choose the colour of the chair according to our preference & theme..hope they still have it when we're ready to purchase...hehehe

Now, I want this little bar table for us to probably dine there as an alternative instead of the dining hall, which looks sorta empty & pitiful if it's just the 2 of us only..plus, it's kinda 'romantic' with dim lights on, or just candlelight; don't you think so?? Hehe..

April...instead of it being a FOOL month, it was a month of changes for me & us.

First of all, after being in th same position for 3 and a half years, I've decided that it's time to move on. No, not that outrageous to resign from my job, but to transfer to other sections. To learn new things & work in a new environment. Might not be healthier (as this new post requires me to work night shifts, which might sound bad for most people, BUT too bad, NOT FOR ME). Infact, I actually enjoy it. Coz I really hate routine work. I don't like coming in & going back at the same time EVERYDAY, sitting at the same place, seeing same faces and doing the same / similar stuff over & over again. So, I requested to move to another section & got it. Started on the 1st of this month, a new beginning & enjoying it so far. Though there are night shifts, but I don't mind at all coz it means having more time with Dada :)

Besides work, this month, we moved into a new unit of the same hostel building coz of Dada's promotion. So, imagine having to shift rooms when we were both working night shifts. Damn tiring! Even more so with all our possessions. After officially moving in on the 18th of the month, the place is still a mess. Clothes here, shoes there...we still haven't got time to really tidy up the place. Wait...just wait...we'll be on leave in a couple of days' time, so...hopefully something will be done about it...hehehe...

Hmm...I am just crazy about bags recently. And not that I purposely wanna look at branded ones but I just loooove this Chanel bag. I'm not sure about the price, or can say that I don't wanna know, or don't need to know. Of coz I'm not thinking of seriously getting it. Well, just let me have a look & keep thinking of it here...to satisfy my needs...(yeah, I know..it's a WANT, not NEED..hehe)

Nice?? I LOOOOOVE it

I have not spoken about this for quite some time, isn't it?? Well, it was because previously I was too occupied with other stuff & also partly because there wasn't much to update on our "Home Sweet Home" progress. But recently, the speed picked up & here's the update:

Remember waaaay back that I blogged about a cousin of mine wanting to migrate to Australia?? Well, he finally did, with his fiancee & it was so nice of them to have waited till after our wedding to do so. Coz, they played an important part in our wedding, being our BEST MAN & BRIDESMAID. It wasn't just any other title. It was a title that we all honoured & was most happy that they did it for us. Those happy moments that we shared will be in our hearts forever & we have a video that captured everything for us...right?? Hehe...

All the best, Ah Dee & Ah Sze...may God bless you both in this new chapter of your life. We'll visit you one day...in Sydney, a place that I have always wanted to go back to....:)
