Been 5 Years....

...... since my last entry.

Another child had left the nest and still doing college, another had done his dues for our country which leaves the last child to be ‘the only child’. Can’t decide if I should say ‘yay yay yay’ or ‘OMG I feel lonely’ cos seriously, I do miss my big children, but I am glad that I hear from them only when they need me.
 
 

Within the last 5 years I have also learned that hardwork and positive thinking do pay off….with added strength and determination. Don’t expect bucks to jump onto my lap if I don’t work it unless my jewish multi millionairess mother in law decided to hand down her inheritance before she ‘hits the soil’. Anyways, yup, and with the pay offs from the hardwork, I shamelessly admit that I am a luxury purse addict. Hmmmm, maybe I should open a blog on my obsessions .


 

And then I discovered that a happy marriage is hard work. Yeah yeah, you all know my husband. We have been married for almost 14 years. We took each other for granted, threatened to throw in the towel many a times until one day something just hit us on the head. We turned around, hugged each other and decided that we were too tired to fight. Or maybe cos he will never find another wife like me haha!

 

I refused to believe when others told me that Life begins at 40. It truly does dammit! Started the big 40 with a bang in Vegas, started running some distances the first 2 years and then decided to go gungho with Beachbody hardcore workouts. So far, I had done PiYo (pronounced as Pie-Yo), T25 and doing 2nd round of P90X3 now. I feel energetic, happy and healthy. I wonder if I get really hard core with my diet, would I be a size sub zero? That’s right, cos I will never find out! My next adventure is pedal boarding and  water skiing….and maybe a tummy tuck to go with it.  

 

Thank you Ailin for reviving your Blog Revival Campaign….not! But I still love you, and everyone who’s reading this.

So much in my head...too much to say but don't know what to write. Makes sense? Nothing does when it comes to Elly.

Have you ever wondered or done a self reflection of yourself? I do that all the time, sometimes too much. Not that I am always all about myself (haha!) but I know that I was born and am here for a reason...not for myself but for the people that I love. I know that I am always here for my friends to rely on me to make them happy, to pour their hearts out at me and for me to pass on my good energy to them.

Many a times when I sense that my beloveds are not happy, I tend to ask myself what I had done wrong. So much so that my BFF says that I sometimes try too hard to make others happy hence, I forgot about myself.

I wish that I could disengage some telepathic dreams that I get with some people who are deep in my heart. Not that I am not appreciating the sense that God had given me but...when I get these 'signals', I tend to think too deep and explore into the dreams...until I get the reason why that dream came to visit.

Last night, I dreamed of a couple of bears. Baby bears. I was visitng my mom's friend when a couple of naughty friendly bears came to me at the front yard and started licking me. From what I know, dreaming of a bear means that I am in rivalry with someone over someone that I love, and if the bear climbed a tree or branch or rock, the rivalry will be in my favor. Stupid huh? But as I drove to work, I kept thinking of how friendly that black bear was to me :)

Husband, am I fighting with the 'bears' that you were talking about? Hahahaha...

Let me go see who I am in rivalry with....


Note to self: Make sure I love with all my heart, not half, not a quarter


Matt's visit will come up next post...stay tuned

Early AM...

And I am still up. The baby's in her sister's room. The hubba's snoring on the other end of the bed. Even Pinky the cat has left me 2 minutes ago to maybe run some errands in the house.




Why am I still awake? The storm outside is wild! Winds at abt 40 mph howling through the cracks of my bedroom window. The owl can't sing in this weather so I can't fall asleep to my regular white noise.

That birthday party was great, I must tell ya. That tireless dance must have been another reason for me still being awake.


Random question to self: 'Is a few minutes better than none at all?'

TGIF

How cool is this. 2 years of not blogging and I can blog from my iphone. How technology make us such suckers! $2.99 for this iblog app dammit!

Want Suraya's latest pic? Here...



She was sipping on hot choc at a gf's place last night

Things to celebrate:

Its FRIDAY! I deserve this weekend. I think I had worked hard enough to devour this measely 2 day break...right?

To me, a good weekend break would be yoga, mani/pedi, date with my fluffy couch and maybe a jacuzzi bath in the comfort of my very own casa.

Oh I forgot to tell you in my previous posting that I have turned into a yoga freak. Wait...not the any type of yoga...its Bikram Hot Yoga. This cool sh*t had changed my life mentally and physically. Well, I still have a potty mouth but trust me, I'm a more patient person and apparently, more flexible.

Matt is flying into San Francisco on Sunday. My kids will be a full count again. Such priviledge this momma will be getting in the next 3 weeks of hers and her family's life. Prepare for an overkill of pictures and updates.


 
Note to self: Date night tonight. Hope it wont be part one of party weekend

I'm baaaaccckkkk!

Funny...I have been peeking into this page since my son uncovered it this morning.

These nimble fingers just wanting to type and spill away. It had surely been a long long while since the last I expressed myself. 2 years to be exact.

Alot has happened....ALOT. Kids getting bigger, Im getting older...but hotter hahaha!

Let me introduce the new love of my life. My partner in crime, my alter ego...Ms Nora. Funny how I have known about her mom longer than I even knew she existed, until last year when one fine day, we met during Eid. We were blessed...by Allah to meet, support and feed each other with good energy.







My still eternal love of my life, Ms Nazrah whos in Dubai is always the love of my life and that will never change :)

Matt is already 18 and almost 6 feet tall, Mas is 17 and 2 inches taller than me and Suraya's 4 and is learning to speak like her sister.

Yes Im still married...10 years this year, huh...he still hasnt quit on me yet *rolls eyes*

OK...now part of me has been released. I might come back, real soon!



OMG

The son uncovered this blog again.

So...here I am...gosh...where do I start...where do I REALLY REALLY start?

Well...guess I will come back when Im ready to flow on here again :)

Its been a while...

since I last updated this space of mine. Wow...been months eh?

Nothing much but a lot happened. Ironic enough? If you know me that well, thats so normal of me dont you think?

So I shall try to pen my thoughts here again from now on....I hope!

Alot of things have been on my mind, my work, family, myself, myself and myself hahaha.

Let me thaw my brains and leave you with this and I promise I shall be back with more meaningful thoughts of the day...

So I have not been updated since time began. To those who are on Facebook, you know you get my chronicles from there. Those who do not have Facebook, start one now :)

Where should I start updating? Its been a long time hasnt it? Hmmm...

Suraya turned 2 in December. 2 weeks after her birthday, she fell off the bed and fractured her right upper femur. We were in the hospital for 2 days to get a cast on her. Its a full body spica cast as the fracture is close to the hip and a spica cast is needed to ensure full healing.

What did this entail? Well, I have been home since then. I am on Family Leave all the way till March just to care for this little munchkin.

But wait...it has been 5 weeks already which means that the Dr will remove her cast this coming Tuesday. So Suraya will have her freedom back!

I promise I shall try to update this page as often as my journal in Facebook.

In the meantime, here are some pics and a video of Yaya..
