half-lidded eye scare

The other day i had to leave the boys at home because i needed to send some meds to my in-laws' home. their house is just about 7km away, so i'm not too worried. the keys are with them anyway, and if there's any emergency they can always run over to the neighbors' house.

when i got home, i found idris lying on the floor with his eyes half open.
listen, my eldest sleeps with his eyes half opened, or half closed (depending on how you view your life or something like that).
so anyways, he was on the floor, unmoving.
so i asked imaan - is Abang okay?

and you know what that brat answered: idris is dead.

PLEASE child, this is not funny at all!

turns out idris fell asleep on the floor. well that gave me a good scare! :(

Hello Idris

Not sure what he ate but this boy oh boy had diarrhea and I'm trying to recall the last time I had to clean so much poop and vomit hehe.

Fucking tired.
Try picking up 1000000 things 19 hours per day and you tell me if you’re strong enough to be a mom and wife.

Islamic Centre Canteen, Hong Kong

23 March 2019.

My short trip to Hong Kong in March seems a bit rushed, and we really don't know where the days went. The first two days was quite punishing, what with the supreme humidity and gah, Aunt Flo decided to tag along to my favorite city!

Nevertheless, on the third day we made it a point to check out the much coveted dim sum place Masjid Ammar And Osman Ramju Sadick Islamic Centre, which to my surprise is really close to the super delicious duck rice place that we went to last year! When we got there a long queue was already forming but the place has a numbering system so it's not too bad. You're seated with strangers if there's only two of you. Which is fine, because you get to strike a conversation. Surprisingly the 2 girls who sat with us is from KL too and they were super hungry after a morning hike.

The food is really good, and they taste better even after we took them home. The portion is pretty generous too, and it's no surprise why this is a number one choice for travelers. When you're on budget, this meal can already cover lunch AND dinner. Definitely value for money.

Got myself a new camera today! Been saving up for 10 months and got the Ricoh GR3 as a birthday gift. Funny, I was saving for different camera but ended up buying a different camera. Typical of me!

How are we all doing?

How are we all doing? Thought I drop by and say hello, this page is still alive.

I have a lot to say you know? But I don't have a laptop right now, so updating is hard.I was thinking of moving to wordpress since there is an app for it but I really don't like using my phone to write. Carrie Bradshaw would probably feel the same eh?

2019 is okay so far. I went to see BTS in HK (my beloved city) just before my birthday and I wasn't depressed at all on my birthday! Bonus was a surprise, since this is my second year in retail banking and as compared to investment banking, I wasn't expecting much from the retail business. But a bonus is a bonus is a bonus, and I am grateful for the reward. Bolehlah.

I had a resolution to not buy books this year, but since I am depressed (that's what my husband thinks) guess I have to be depressed and just stay in this abyss for a little while. So this week I broke down and bought many books. When will I ever read them is up for debate.

The kids are doing great. I yelled at my eldest over a doomed bridge project last week and I cried the entire day at work. Remind me again to take things easy please. He's not even 18 yet. Melodrama is a long arduous journey. The youngest on the other hand is a handful, still finding his footing as a younger brother. re: he just wants attention.

Health wise, I have impending surgery to remove some ball in my throat. Nervous and eager to get this over with as soon as possible.

I guess that's about it for now!

Toodle-do.
