Bento Fun

Greetings from Melbourne!

We arrived last Thursday and has been hectic since. There were so much stuff to do and follow up. I am glad that we got most of the important stuff done and now is just to wait for the items to be delivered. Have never done so much shopping in such short time span!!!

Finally I got my SIM card yesterday and am able to contact some of my friends here. Hubby gave me his Blackberry but I decided to keep my phone instead. I am not into all these smart cellulaires. I am those who just make and receive calls and do the occasional short messaging.

Well, I’ll probably learn how to use all these smart phones thingy when I am more settled down and have plenty of time to kill later on before the baby arrives.

Happy New Year everyone!

So fast we are already on the 2nd day of 2012 and what have we done? NOTHING!

Hubby was down with fever yesterday so we stayed home. Have wanted to go out this morning but our washing machine was giving some problems so hubby went to fix it. As it is already so late, malls will be crowded so we KIV-ed our plans to go out. I’ll probably use the rest of the day to do some more packing.

We have a total of 130kg for our flight so we’ll definitely going to maximize it. Though we have shipped most of our stuff but we have been buying some smaller stuff the past few weeks. Hopefully there will be enough space as well… We have a total of 4 big luggage and probably a few leather backpacks which we’ll hand carry. Will try to stuff in a much stuff as possible… especially all the last minutes stuff.

Can’t wait for the day to come…

1st of January is a very special day for us (my hubby and I) as it marks the day we celebrate our love (how romantic huh?). The first day of 2012 is even more special as it will be our 10th Anniversary. I can still recall that very night when we went for New Year countdown by the Singapore River hoping to see some fireworks but was deeply disappointed as that very year they decided to cancel the event!

Well, the firework did not blast into the sky but it did in our hearts!!!! That is all that matters right??? LOL

My hubby is not those who are romantic and shows it but he will do little things to make up for it. I won’t be expecting him to get me any heart shaped jewelry to mark the occasion as I knew he will not! Probably we will just go out for family dinner (since we have 2 monsters sticking to us like super glue!!!) and hopefully catch some fireworks display around the island…

Hello all my bento friends!

The year is coming to an end and that means our days in Malaysia is getting shorter too! While everyone is busy doing their Christmas shopping, we spent our time packing so that we can ship all over stuff over so that they will arrived when we are there early next year.

We thanked God for getting a place during my hubby’s last trip down which make everything easier. At least we have an address to ship our stuff too! We just can’t believe that we have that much junks! In total we have 46 boxes (big and small) which came up to almost 6 cubic meter!!! And we only have a week to pack! I was really proud of myself since I was still not feeling on top of the world yet as morning sickness still come and go! Yes, at almost mid of 2nd trimester!!!

Anyway, I am so glad we can take our mind off the packing now and just concentrate on the final stuff we need to do before our departure.

After much consideration, we have decided to keep our car in Malaysia and not sell it away when we leave. Hubby thought that the car would not fetch much money since it is more than 10 years old. He said my mother in law can use it if her car breaks down and we can have our own car when we are back for vacation.

For that, we don’t have to send it for valuation or use any auto body estimating software to get the actual price our car can fetch. Unless it is a brand new car. Thank goodness for that, we have another item out of our list of things to do. The only thing is, hubby will be giving away his other old junk to his relative which don’t cost much though that old junk has been a real demand around here! LOL
