tata to 2009.. hello 2010!

itz the last day of 2009... and i m still at work at 4.55pm. will be staying till 9pm+ as itz the month-end closing!! wat are those angmohs in US thinking about huh??? grrr...

2009 has been a pretty good year for the family. or should i say, pretty smooth-sailing without much ups & downs unless you consider the world economy which was in the doldrums for most part of the year. however, we came out of recession officially and things are looking up again. oooh.. and yet if i were to factor in the pathetic bonus package that dear & myself were entitled to this year, then yes! year-end definitely sucked this year.. haha.. but being the ever-optimistic person with regards to money-matters (cos i dunno how to count my own $$$!!! tsk tsk), i m just glad we both still have our jobs which provides us with sanity and stability in finances.. *phew*!

missy turned 2 in oct 2009 and as time flies like nobody's business, she'll be starting school in 4 days time!!! something which is causing the both of us much agony cos we are so worried about small little things like: whether she'll like school and if she'll get bullied blah blah blah.. sigh.. and of cos there's the super-heartpain factor for taking away the "luxury" of staying at home as a carefree toddler from her and placing her in a 3-hr pre-nursery. but we have been telling each other that the decision should be right. cos missy is a kiddo who loves other kiddos and she shd be able to fit in well.. plus, if school means cutting back on 3 hrs of barney or tom & jerry dvds, then heehee.. maybe itz pretty worth our headache right now! and not forgetting the awaited arrival of didi ayden in apr 2010. tis arrangement will definitely help mum & grandma in coping without missy feeling dat she is unwanted or unloved by any of us.. =)

we are also blessed with the great news of having #2! bb ayden must have been conceived over the international waters if i m not wrong.. hmm.. and to think that i was wondering then if I need to stop my pills for at least 1/2 year, see the chinese physician and condition my body 1st prior to conceiving.. bleh! we accepted the great news with lotsa happiness and with quite the same dosage of apprehension too. always wanted to give missy a companion but the 1st trimester was filled with weird reactions from missy.. she "refused" to want a didi or meimei and kept insisting on saying "不要" whenever we asked her about it.. and her temper and behaviour?? atrocious and almost unbearable.. urgh! luckily, she has grown out of this stage and has even referred to her own tummy as 妹妹 whenever i asked her to sayang 弟弟.. hahaha.. such a cutie and a sweet relief to us.. i just hope she'll be her loving self and love didi loads!!

sooooooo.... 2009 is coming to an end and we look forward to starting 2010 on the right foot! hee.. hope the new year will be blessed, smooth-sailing, filled with lotsa happiness and laughter! well... i m sure dear & i will work towards achieving a GREAT 2010!

may all friends & family be blessed with a wonderful 2010 too! MUACKS!

...xoxo...
