It has been raining for 2 days. According to the weather forecast, there will be rain till Monday, and then no rain on Tuesday and more rain the days after. Rezeki Allah...syukur...we don't get that much rain here in California. I do miss the 'monsoon bing bang thunder storms for 30 minutes and then the sun comes out' weather back home. Over here when there is a storm, the branches would fall and the fence would start slanting...a sign of defeat to the 'up to 60 miles/hr wind'. We were out of power for a few hours. We travelling 10 miles in San Mateo for a sushi buffet...they were closed due to no power. Even my office and 18 other offices were close in Northern CA due to lost of power.
This time, our side door was ripped apart by the wind, the fences are still standing strong (they collapsed last year) and the branches still could not survive. The cats are all over the bed, trying to get the warmth under the covers.
I am off today. Nice to be home, hoping to be able to go out for lunch or dinner with family but alas...the storm. But thats okay...my family will NOT be deterred by the stromy weather. Whatever may come, nothing can pull the food and the Greenfield family apart...geddit?
Bapak was discharged from the hospital yesterday Alhamdulillah. The dr says that he could have just had some muscle spasm when he was at the beach. Otherwise, his heart is strong and healthy.
Seems like Abang Mat is doing very well in school. Sec 3 this year and I heard that he is loving is first days in school. I shall get the 1st hand news from him tomorrow. We all miss him here. Each time when we go clothes shopping, we always think of him. Paps misses dressing him up...so he says :)
Suraya is learning to speak. Yes, she talks a lot like her Momma and Dada. The only language that she speaks now is Jibberish...a common language among toddlers. Still not walking yet though she can stand for a few minutes.
Kakak Mas is counting down on going back to school. She has been a terrific sitter when paps needs a break from baby sitting. She and Suraya has bonded so well, it warms my heart greatly to see them together :)
Me? Nothing has changed much for me. I need to stay away from the shopping mall...seriously, BUT BUT BUT, I always seem to need something right? Someone at the new office was complaining about me. She accused me of stealing business from the other sales reps as I have been getting more exposure with customers. But hey, I stole from noone and I do have integrity. Thats a good sign, which means this new kid on the block is a threat to the old kids hehehe. I work with honesty, not the other way round and thats how it should be right?

Dieting has been good. I still eat alot, minus the carbs. Not that I don't eat carbs at all, I do...but sparingly. And I am still losing 2 lbs every 1-2 weeks or so. Now I just need to exercise again. Hard though cos this momma has got no time!
Oh hey, here's the munchkin wearing my camisole...in the midst of the big mess that she had created!!!
