I FINALLY DID IT!

I passed my Module 7 exam and I have now a dealer representative license. Woohooo….

I passed the exam only with one sit unlike Module 6 where I passed after taking it three times.

I thought studying after having a baby would be easier for me since, I thought, my brain would memorize facts better. The truth is it was harder studying when there’s a baby to look after for!





Being the typical me, studying is always best (yeah right) last minute. I tell my self and others the reason why I study last minute is because the things I’ve studied few days before the DAY is fresher than if I were to start studying a month ago. This is true! I tend to forget or get facts all jumbled up if I start studying wayyy before an exam. However, studying the day or two days prior to the exam is not enough to comprehend and memorize every single thing that I need just to PASS the exam. :/

But whatever, I studied for 1 ½ solid days for this exam and I PASSED MY MODULE 7! Yeeeehaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa (thank god I have my in-laws to watch after Maya)

When the facilitator hand me my certificate, I was too close to tears. I wasn’t near like that when I was up the stage getting my Bachelors Degree. :)

This exam was really important to me because the not-so-nice-lady-boss at work would have my head on a chopper block if I failed. P.s. I can always re-sit the exam if I failed but this wasn’t an option for me since Mr. smarty-pants-at-work didn’t fail. :/

How Good Are You With Nursery Rhymes?

Who me?
Yes you.
Ermmmm…(O.o)

Parenting.com sent me an email on “6 Classic Games Every Parent Should Know.”

These are the ones recommended for Maya’s age category.

Pat-a-Cake (2 months and up)

“This is easy for young babies to follow, and as yours starts trying to clap and play along, his coordination and motor skills will get a boost.” 


This Little Piggy (2 months and up)

“Along with prediction and memory skills, your baby will learn about his body.”


Where Is Thumbkin? (4 months and up)

“Babies get a lesson in object permanence, prediction, and body parts. The melody helps young children follow the words.”

The question now, do I know any of these?

Pat-a-Cake - CHECK (thank god for my little cousin’s obsession with Barney & Friends)

This Little Piggy – Errr.. I’ve heard my mom singing it a lot to my younger cousins but I was never able to capture its lyric.

Where Is Thumbkin? – I DON’T KNOWWWWWWWW

I’m a horrible mother! *cries*

I googled baby nursery rhymes and I am shocked to find out that there are EXTREMELY a LOT that I don’t know. *eekkkk*

I got to get my groove on so I can put up a show for my Princess Star :)

This Little Piggy

This little piggy went to market,

This little piggy stayed home,

This little piggy had roast beef,

This little piggy had none,

And this little piggy cried,

"Wee, wee, wee."

All the way home.

Where is Thumbkin?

Where is Thumbkin?
Where is Thumbkin?

Where is Thumbkin?

Here I am, here I am.

How are you today?

Very well, thank you.

Go away, go away.

Where is Pointer?

Here I am, here I am.

Where is Small Man?

Here I am, here I am.

How are you today?

Very well, thank you.

Go away, go away.

But first, I need to get on youtube and find out what’s the tune for “Where is Thumbkin?”


YEAY Youtube!

Love Scent

This morning, when I spritz some of my perfume, its beautiful floral scent brought me back to my gorgeous wedding day. Like any normal bride-to-be, I did countless internet and magazines browsing to give me ideas for a wedding come true. I came upon an article suggesting brides to purchase a never-owned-before perfume for our EXTRAORDINARY special occasion. Since our wedding is a once in a lifetime adventure, a lovely scent would be a sweet reminder of that time when we said our I Do. No time was wasted; I went straight to the mall and began my treasure hunt. I was soon introduced to J’Adore L’Eau Cologne Florale by Dior and I IMMEDIATELY fell in love with its scent. I did an excellent job scouting for it since the fragrance fits perfectly with my garden theme wedding and not to mention the emotions I was feeling that day *melts*. Today, like this morning, the moment the perfume made its way into my nostrils, tiny little butterflies lingered in my belly happily just like they did 1 year 4 months ago.


If only those killer legs came with the perfume *sigh*

Do share this with any brides-to-be out there!

Seriously...

Please ladies. For the love of god, PUH-leaseeeee, dress appropriately for work unless required (if ya know what I mean ;p). Don’t try too hard to look good and ending up looking all Hoochie Mama! Not that I have anything against it; you can dress up as hoochie as you want only after office hours. I think the shortest hemline for skirts/dresses is right above the knee. At least put some tights on if you decide to go slightly shorter :). Yes, us women do love the attention when we are all dressed up, but do you SERIOUSLY want a different kind of stare? Nope, I don’t think so. So let’s us all gorgeous creatures stick by this rule and be a fabulous women that we are.

"Arghhhh" "dream is a wish" "*burp*"

What is up with traffic nowadays??
I was late yesterday and today for work. Ok, I left a little after 7:30am yesterday, but the traffic was as bas as I was to leave at 8am.
Now, how about you, you Thursday, yes YOU! I left at 7:15am today and the traffic was as bad as yesterday’s!
So what it rained this morning. If you people can’t drive in the rain, please leave before it starts to pour or don’t bother leaving the house. Give us super-drivers a peace of mind. Gracias!

Went to VW showroom after work yesterday to check out Tiguan. GORGEOUS I must say. We want a new car, SUV to be exact, to load us all up. The car that we have now is quite small for a family especially with Maya’s car seat. Which explains why we don’t do road trips except for that one time to Muar (we took my in-laws’ car). Hopefully, when we do get a new car, any car, Faliq would finally take us on a road trip somewhere at least every other month :).



I kept singing this song all day today whenever I envisioned us family in Tiguan. My all time favorite from Disney classic, Cinderella.

A dream is a wish your heart makes

When you're fast asleep

In dreams you will lose your heartaches

Whatever you wish for, you keep

Have faith in your dreams and someday

Your rainbow will come smiling thru

No matter how your heart is grieving

If you keep on believing

The dream that you wish will come true

On our way home from VW, we were so clueless about what to eat and suddenly the sight of their not-so-glamorous Hj Shahrin Low signboard, a FINGER-LICKING-GOOD Chinese Muslim restaurant, made us took a 90 degrees turn into their driveway. Yeay for YUMMY food!

Almost Good Night

In Dying Need of Spanking New Work Clothes

This coming Friday, October 1st 2010, I will celebrate my one year anniversary of career-life since graduation. I’ve learnt so much about Equities Broking, particularly Direct Market Access (DMA). I’ve enjoyed and hated my stay here :/.
Why hate?
I have a psycho as my boss of course. I’m still on my probationary period! ONE FREAKING YEAR?!?!?!?!?! Many months ago, she said, if I were to pass my Module 6 exam, she’ll confirm me. I passed it, and many months later, I’m still on probationary. I seriously want to share every single detail on here but that’s just going to upset me and I don’t want to go there.
Anyhoos, for the past one year, I’ve been recycling my work clothes. The pants that I’m wearing today is what I wore back in University for my presentations. The top I have on is at least two years old or older. The only “new” thing I have on me is my faded black cardigan. It was black when I purchased it but I wore it one too many times since this is my only, I repeat, my ONLY black cardigan.
A glimpse or worst, the thought of my pitiful work wardrobe makes me puke a little in my mouth. I’m sick and tired of the same ol’ shit I put on everyday. It’s too depressing. I have the urge of dumping them all away but I can’t because I will be left with nothing to wear for work. I hate them so much that I don’t iron them unless I REALLY need to. I feel embarrassed sometimes, well all the time, when I see my black top do NOT match my black pants because they’ve both faded into two different colors. *blink*
Therefore, I avoid wearing black with black or red with red (not that I would) etc.
I envy looking at girls in pretty work outfit. It’s not that I don’t have taste in fashion (I think :p); I tend to spend my money elsewhere.
I’ve been going online lately and check out brands that sell work-worthy clothes. I saw some nice ones at Dorothy Perkins and Zara.

I SERIOUSLY need to do myself a favor and go SHOPPING!

Maybe, with my new outfits, I’ll be a little more motivated for work.

Maybe..
