Its back to work today for most people who have taken a whole week off for the Chinese New Year festivities. And so it is for me too. Hehe. I’m back! Back to blog that is.

Its back to home school for the kids too. Their lessons have been badly neglected for some time now since we’ve been busy moving and because of the holidays. So this lazy mama has to prepare to teach them again.

Another thing which I have been dreading. Its now time to toilet train both the kids. One for daytime, the other for night. Now, I’ve really been lazy at this one but theres no avoiding it now. I’ve got to prepare myself to wipe accidents all over the house for a time and be very, very, patient. Phew! I hope it works out.

Immomsdaughter tagged me, so here goes.

Hmm… lets see….

1. I can down a couple of beers, a tequilla pop, a margarita etc at one go without getting drunk. Hehe. But I haven’t touched a drink since I got pregnant and breastfed and got pregnant and breastfed again. Must take care of the baby mah.
2. I used to be a Conference Manager (which required me to run around a fair bit), then I quit and became a remisier (which required me to be at the office to execute trades), now I’m a SAHM and a blogger (which requires me to be at home most of the time).
3. I love prawn fritters and fried wantons. (or anything deep fried for that matter). Very unhealthy hor.
4. I love to sing (in the bathroom at home) and dance (with the kids at home)
5. I have a bad temper and poor communication skills. (Poor Mr MG have to put up with me. Hehe.)

Thats it! I think everyone else has been tagged by now so I won’t tag anyone but if you haven’t and would like to do this tag. Consider yourself tagged. (Let me know and I will link you too.)

I’ve got no chocolates for you,

No flowers or champagne too,

This is the best that I can do,

Happy Valentine’s Day to you!

Hiya all. I’m just taking this opportunity to wish all my blog visitors a very Happy Valentine’s Day 2007. Hey! Don’t play play you know. I had to queue up for a very long time while dealing with two crying, clingy babies, just to get these for you. (Some of the customers almost ended up in a fight with those who tried to cut queue.)

And then I had to spend a considerable time trying to figure out how to increase the size of the “bak kua” picture for your viewing pleasure. (I find working on my own domain not so user friendly as before.) Anyway, Enjoy! (Looking that is, I’ll eat on your behalf. Heheh!)

I’m thinking of holding a family gathering soon. However, I have many nieces and nephews within the family who are teenagers. I’m wondering how on earth to entertain them so that they don’t tell their parents they want to go home soon because they’re bored. Lol!

I don’t have any playstation or other exciting stuff that teenagers like. Heck! I don’t even have Astro so they can’t watch TV. Hahaha.

I’ve consulted my sister but she says, “don’t worry about them lah”. Just let them learn to entertain themselves without thinking up of entertainment for them. However, I feel that as host, I must think of all my guests, even if they’re teenagers.

So, can anyone help me out with this?
