Back for Christmas

A very hard jigsaw puzzle

My second week of holiday. ( So fast!) The first week was spent recuperating from the last few months of sleep deprivation. How else to explain waking up after 9am every single day? I brought my running shoes back along with my nike running attire. Haven't had a chance to run. Although we did string the badminton net up and had one game of badminton. But when you're playing with a 7 year old niece...it's more lobbing it back and hoping for the best. Our shuttlecock went up the tree ( again!) and the shoe also got caught up on the tree.( we used the shoe to get the shuttlecock down)

The niece

Here's a picture of the niece flower-picking in mum's garden. She wore her jim jams all day because she wanted to play with her budgies the whole morning. And afternoon as well. This was before the tree-eating-shoe-incident. ( We were still friends at this stage)

Happy Holidays everybody. I hope to update more soon

Midweek

Tutu...Razz and Azz

Just three more working days before I start my christmas break. And its true the older your get, the faster time passes. We're into the end of end of 2014. ( Just gotten use to writing the year as 14...and its time to move onto 15. Yikes!)

The picture above is for a bit of fun. The regulars ( yes it sounds nice when I say this) to this blog may recognize Tutu...my pet stuff dog. The new addition is Razz and Azz...hand sewn and bought from Bangladesh. And a gift from a friend.

This is the trio as I positioned them before leaving for work this morning. For a big of laugh.

The Big Bad Wolf Sale 2014

Facebook is brilliant. At giving me information. I do not need to read the papers. Thanks to friends who love posting different things, if I scroll through a days'  entry, I'll get the feel of what's been happening. And yes I know the information would be skewed.

The Big Bad Wolf is here. It started On Friday 5th Dec. We went yesterday night after dinner. So did most other people because there was a slow crawl at the exit to Balakong. Waze showed us some dodgy way through back lanes some of them barely wide enough to fit one car but we persevered and were rewarded eventually. The dodgy lanes led us to the MIECC by-passing the traffic buildup. We also parked outside along the road and paid RM10 for the privilege. This saved us at least 30 minutes. Otherwise we would have had to make a u-turn and join the line of cars inching towards the MIECC car park. The weather was kind. Cool and not as humid as it normally is. And more importantly no rain.


I bought slightly over two hundred ringgit worth of books. (Yay!) and Would like to thank LWT for carrying them for me. Also for driving there and back. I've learnt my lesson but getting a smallish box. A big box is nice in theory. Try lugging it about once it's 50% filled with books and you would then realize the big box is difficult to carry. ( That happened to me during the first Big Bad Wolf sale)

We left around midnight. And oh boy, you wouldn't believe the buzz that was still happening inside and outside the building. You would have thought it was just 8pm rather than past midnight.We should be proud that we're a reading society. Here we were, avid-readers hunting down good sales and good books.
