5 Things you don't know about me

Got this from Tanya
I think I've done many tags like this, 10 facts about me, 25 things about me, then this...
I don't know if I have anything left to tell.... anyway I will try

1. I've learned ballet , organ(piano) ,badminton and karate as a kid and during my teenage year (for organ piano )

2. I can do ice skating, roller blade, roller skating... I think that is the only sport I do and would love to do again If I got the chance

3. I can't sing. Always out of tune...I can sing children songs ( kind of) but not other songs. My dh said that the glasses and windows will be broken if I sing . So he forbid me to sing in public place. I wonder how he could know this, I NEVER sing in front of him!!

4.I have this "six sense" when I saw people for the first time. I got the "feeling" about that person. And most of the time ( I said 90% ) of that feeling is correct.
I just can tell if that person in a genuine person, hard to please, arrogant, sensitive, a show off type, or happy go lucky etc etc
But....
Don't bother to ask me what kind of feeling I got when the first time I've seen you.I won't answer that! kkakakakakakakak. But the feeling is not by just judging the look or clothing or physical appearance ..it's more to do with the way a person speak, the words, the eyes, the body language .

5. Secretly wish to learn to ski-ing one day, I hope I am not too old for that.
And horseback riding too. But I think I will be too afraid now.


I will tag
Mabel
Deana
Farrah

Beautiful woman tag

I received this from Viv. It is a reminder for me to revive myself as a woman. Either you share this Valentine's day with you husband, boyfriend, fiancee, friends, or family... remember that YOU SHOULD LOVE YOURSELF TOO! Or even if you don't celebrate it, let's use this International Love day as the opportunity to show more loves to others....

HAPPY VALENTINES DAY!!!
I lay me down to sleep. I pray the Lord to keep my shape . Please no wrinkles please no bags and please lift my butt before it sags. Please no age spots please no grey and as for my bellyplease take it away . Please keep me healthy


please keep me youngand thank you dear Lord for all that you have done.

Five tips for a woman:

1. It is important that a man helps you around the house and has a job.

2. It is important that a man makes you laugh.

3. It is important to find a man you can count on! And doesn't lie to you.

4. It is important that a man loves you and spoils you.

5. It is important that these four men don't know each other.

Foot Note:One saggy boob said to the other saggy boob: 'If we don't get some support soon, people will think we're nuts.'

Below is a wonderful poem Audrey Hepburn wrote when asked to share her 'beauty tips.' It was read at her funeral years later.

For attractive lips, speak words of kindness.

For lovely eyes, seek out the good in people.

For a slim figure, share your food with the hungry.

For beautiful hair, let a child run his/her fingers through it once a day.

For poise, walk with the knowledge that you never walk alone.

People, even more than things, have to be restored, renewed, revived, reclaimed, and redeemed; never throw out anyone.

Remember, if you ever need a helping hand, you will find one at the end of each of your arms.

As you grow older, you will discover that you have two hands; one for helping yourself, and the other for helping others.

If you share this with another woman, something good will happen . . You will boost another woman's self esteem, and she will know that you care about her. Well, it is and that means you !!!

I'm supposed to send this to FIVE BEAUTIFUL WOMEN: ( I tagged SEVEN this time, I got more on my list but I want to leave some for other to tag them too)

MissDiana

Tanya

How Do I Love my Husband

Mama Wawa tagged me this. I think something to do with Valentines day? I m not good at this so I must think hard :what do i love from my husband? Sound so terrible? hahahaa
I hope my dh won't read this , it will make his head so big.....

So here we go..... ( tahan nafas)

I love him for his sense of humor

He might not be the most sensitive/romantic man on the planet but I love the way he shows his love by action and not by words only. We are not the couple who called each other dear, darling , honey or love or amore or cara/o we just called each other names. But we show respect and understanding .

I love the way he treats our b'day, anniversary , our kids b'day, valentines day, Christmas day very seriously at least we go out for simple dinner ( or celebrate our kids' b'day) or exchange small presents.

I love the way he trusts me in everything I do( except driving now :p actually he also let me drive if I dare too. But no license yet hihi)
and he also support me in everything thing I believe in ( be it breastfeeding, cloth diapering, open my e store or now that I m learning more in to home schooling ) In fact I know he talked about the benefit of breastfeeding and cloth diapering to his friends :-D plus he added : if you want to know more you can ask my wife...she is very good at breastfeeding. (kekekekeke)

And let me still be my self ( as long as it is "decent" things to do but for clothing as long as I don't show too much cleavage and put super mini micro skirt will be fine :-D) This also mean he understand that I m hooked to the internet/computer and checking emails using my mobile .

I love and respect his hardworking manners

I love the way he manage our financial things

I love he always like to bring us to travel even though that means a lot of headache to travel with two young kids.

I love the way he plays with our kids

I love that he is not a chauvinist man

I love that he can cook and doesn't mind to help me during house chorse if he needed too
that including changing baby diapers, bath them , feed them etc

I love that he always put family first above everything else.

I love he gives me my independent as individual so I can still do the things that I love and hang out with my girlfriends

I love his humbleness and stay down to earth . If you think he is a snob expat or thinks that he is "different" just because he is white , you get the wrong person. He is a simple guy that doesn't mind to eat at kopitiam, having beer there, going out with his staffs be it Malay or Chinese, Kadazan, or any race and religion.

And I love the way he respects my family and my back ground. And always welcoming my family to come to stay with us. He doesn't mind if my parents or aunty wants to stay with me for a few months or longer. My parents and sisters love him for his craziness too :p

I love they way that he involves me in big decision about his job/career. We discuss a lot and we always find the best way for both of us and the girls. ( He is not shy to tell his friend/colleagues /boss that he must ask permission /advice/talk first to his wife about it) It makes me feel that I am important and he does care about me and his family.

I love that he likes to put perfume ( he wears it more than me hehee)

I love that he supports my hobby, be it blogging, facebook-ing, chatting, bento-ing, pedicuring, buying magazines, jalan jalan-ing, window shopping, online shopping ( with the warning look to me : dont spend too much..... hehehe)

I love that he allows me to try new things ( if it is possitive ) like taking cupcakes class hahahaa....

I love that he can accepts my flaws and all. I am far from a perfect house wife and mom. That's include my clumsiness, bad in art n craft, lack of patience etc etc . I m full of flaws and I am not shy to admit it because I know he can accept it ( Pasrah I think....hahaha)

Last but not least:

I love him because he is just a simple guy
and me is just a simple girl.....:p

Hey this tag is not so hard after all.....
after almost 10 years of marriage and know each other for about more than 11 years I still can list my husband positive side so I hope it's a good sign..

I think this is a good tag. Made me respect and think about my dh 's positive traits .
Thanks, Bonnie!

Ok wait until I got the tag what do I hate about my husband???? hahahahah
do you think there will be a tag like that?
wah as wives we all can make a full list of that ooh.....
(e.g I hate when my dh never hang his towel back , never put his socks back, left his mobile phone in the taxi...etc etc etc etc.....kekkkekekek)

Opps almost forget
This one is for you , ladies:
Si Lebah Sibuk ( hahaha the first on my list)
Madame Pascaud ( I know your love story is amazing and your dh is a wonderful man)
Cath J ( share your story, please...hehehe)
Makcik Cel ( kepo kepo kepo....hehee)
