The birthday came and went. In the midst of this holiday and extremely cold season...quite a bit has happened in my household.

Seems like Suraya has turned into a bigger tyrant since she turned one. Hmmm..she had learned to crawl out of bed, feet first and onto the ground to peek under our bed to look for cats and whatever kind of garbage that she might be able to find under there. Most times, she would look at us with garbage in her hands, smiling happily.

Is she walking yet? She refuses to 'tateh' (train to walk by holding our hands) but instead, she would stand on her own and walks a couple of steps before calling it a day, and I really mean, she would not do it until the next day. Can't rush babies nowadays, let her do what she wants. I am in no rush to run after runaway babies!

With the husband picking up evening shifts, this means that he goes to work as soon as or a few hours after I get home from work. We do not get to communicate with each other as much as before and yes...I do miss him alot. But hey...this means that we do not get the chance to argue as much hahaha!

Moving to a new office for me has been a blist. To tell you the truth, I did not miss my old work place as I have been so busy adapting to this new sales position. You can find this insurance sales job as tough as you want it to be. Currently, I am starting this job back as an underwriter, talking to customers BUT, I get to make them my prospect customers and so far, I have had 5 in my list. I do not have problems convincing people to buy insurance from me, if i see them face to face BUT but but, I have problems calling customers to sell insurance. Sigh...I shall not be selling until March. Now is my training, and I have another 4 week sales class that I have to go to before starting to sell and wreck my brains.

Moving to a new office also means that I get the priviledge to send Kakak Mas to school every morning. 15 minutes of having just me and her int he car has been priceless for me and her. Thats the only time that we can communicate in peace. She has been such a good daughter to me and I would never 'exchange' her for anyone else at the mall (hahaha).

So there...lots of things happening in this little house.

Here are pics from munchkin's birthday...

Thank you Alya, Uncle Sam and Auntie Sal for giving Suraya a surprise birthday visit :)
