'Happy New Year & Welcome Back…it is a start of the new year. Thank you for the successful 2005. Our region has reached its goal and I am looking forward to 2006. More new good things will happen as we go along. New products, new offices in San Francisco and Redwood City and new training programs for our sales section.'…so says our Regional Director.
There will be so much changes in 2006. Work wise, our big office will split into 5 different offices in San Francisco. Major changes will happen. Personal wise, maybe more than we expect. We're still looking for that house to upgrade into. Maybe some new edition to the family after that? I don’t know…time surely is running out.
Not much of resolution here for me. Maybe lose that 13 more lbs that I am still working on (good God! The holidays have been the biggest killer), make more $$ and save more, lower that outstanding credit and be a better mom and wife.
The kids are teenagers now and I feel that this year will be a year full of surprises, especially when the son goes to high school in September and the daughter in middle school. More changes in their social life…or my co worker says, they have a 'social calendar' now.
Somehow or rather, I can sense that the husband and I have earned our 'dating time' back since the kids have sleepovers almost every weekend nights. What is dating to us? Hmmm, let me think hard….
So far, we have gone to rock concerts. We also go to dinner and sometimes just dinner at home, just the 2 of us…and the cats. No wailings of 'Ibu..' every now and then or words like 'be quiet you!' or 'I'll tell on you…IBU!!!'.
The kids have grown into little friends to me. A personal confidante to the girl and a 'supervisor' (as he calls me) to the boy. They still love me being around them and fooling around with them as much as I love their presence.
I am so not looking forward to them being young adults and then move away to college.
Oh, and not forgetting the jewish wedding in 4 weeks! The sister in law is getting married and we're still busy preparing for the trip. As we all know, visiting in laws is not like going on vacation (you can look ratty when you're on vacation but not when you meet in laws!). But I sure am going to enjoy this trip and the wedding of the year!

Happy New Year Ely darling! WOnder when my turn comes when I can go a-dating with N without having to worry about the kids! Oh, I will pray that your Project-House and Project-Baby will come true this year! And, have fun at the wedding! Weddings are always fun! Have u decided what to wear yet?
Happy New Year, Ely!
Looks like you're all set to enjoy the year, with kids all grown up & all :) Maybe soon we can expect to hear the patter of little feet ????? Wouldn't your kids just love an adik?
(Heheh, being typically Malay and menyibuk nak ambil tahu pasal tambah anak).
dena, yes i have found a dress! i went to an indonesian boutique just 5 blocks from my office (last resort of the perfect traditional dress for me) and i found one! a kebaya that fits me and also a silk batik lepas that comes with a fastener! the price is good too.
qoth, well, the daughter does not really want an adik (so she says) but whenever she sees a baby, she would carry and play with it. right now, i am just playing with the idea afer the move. if the husband still has second thots about having another, then i might just close shop.
ely! take a pic of your new kebaya! me wanna see! *kaypoh mode on* =P
triomommy, ok ok, nanti i try amik gambar ok. kalau tak sempat tunggu jer gambar wedding ok!
can can, sure can. =) i'm curious to see the "adat-istiadat" of a traditional jewish wedding too.
