New pictures courtesy of Angela at Sentosa as usual... once i get my new Macbook... I promise I'll update with more pics!!

Here Faris (with his first love - FOOD) and with Liyana (his second love) whom he's convinced that he'll marry!!

Holiday Inn - Batam

Weekend was good cuz we planned for a trip to Holiday Inn Batam at a very reasonal price of $80 for adult (including ferry, transfers & ABF). The kids just have to pay for ferry. Faiz was veru very fidgety the entire trip, running around, climbing stairs... i was thinking when will we reach!!! It seemed ages!

Once at at hotel I was surprised that we were given the 2 bedroom suite which usually would cost $158 ++ excluding the ferries & etc... wat a deal.. i paid only $206 Nett for everything!! Faris was hungry so after the bath in the tub, we ordered room service and then the madness begins!! We realized Faiz locked himself from inside one of the rooms and refuse to open up. I called the Front Office who came up and tried to unlock the door using a spoon! Couldn't find Faiz and when we spotted him i got the shock of my life! He was perched at the window ledged trying to open the window!! I jumped on the bed and grabbed him and locked myself in the bathroom crying and hugging him! I cannot imagine if we were a minute late. He would have dived right down 6 floors...uuurrgghh scary..... dun even want to think about it.

Short while later he started his nonsense again, falling off the chair when mama fed his dinner, carrying the coffee table and turning it upside down, he even went to the extent to pushing the small cabinet in the cupboard out to the living room!! We dismantled everything and carried the cabinet up on top of the cupboard! Poor Faris have to always keep a watchful eye on Faiz to make sure he's not up to some mischief!

I couldn't take it so we left to go to Megamall to get the Jco Donuts, the Diablo fell asleep in the cab so we went around Matahari looking for toys for Faris.. to thank him for being a really good boy. Took them to Fantasy Kingdom & Timezone to play and spent RPh300,000 just on games!! Thats like their half month salary man for them!

Next day at the pool was fun but Diablo was trying to swim on his own without his vest! Thankfully i managed to catch him in time... maybe its his curiosity but he sure scares me!!

After breakfast we brought the kids to the Panda Room to paint, play & do arts & craft.. as usual the Diablo ran around messing everything! He's got so little attention span!! After that came the exciting part! We rode the ATV!!! Its this four wheel drive annd we rode it for 40 mins! My wrist ache cuz the accelerator uses my thumb! I don't really exercise that part of my body much!!! lol We rode through mud ridden fields and swarmy bushes... Faris was cool... he even drove it himself! I am so glad he has the same adrenaline charged genes as me ... my Diablo definately has it only he goes all the way to the extreme!!!

Sabor A Mi

I had quite an eventful week..Anyway, in the train yesterday morning scrolling through my ipod i found the song I've been looking for the last 6 years!! My wedding march-in song!! Being apart from Fai has made me more sensitive and wanting to reminisce everything! Fai wanted Journey's Faithfully but i felt it was inappropriate... until Roger came in with the CD of all the Spanish songs that we could use... and Sabor A Mi was perfect with our Spanish honeymoon! The song is about how two souls are drawn so close that they have taken on the essense or a trace of the "flavor" of each other... by Luis Miguel

Tanto tiempo disfrutamos de este amor
nuestras almas se acercaron tanto asi
que yo guardo tu sabor
pero tu llevas tambien
sabor a mi.

Si negaras mi presencia en tu vivir
bastaria con abrazarte y conversar
tanta vida yo te di
que por fuerza tienes ya
sabor a mi.

No pretendo ser tu dueno
no soy nada, yo no tengo vanidad
de mi vida doy lo bueno
soy tan pobre, que otra cosa puedo dar.

Pasaran mas de mil años, muchos mas
yo no se si tenga amor la eternidad
pero alla, tal como aqui
en la boca llevaras
sabor a mi.

If I proof to you how much I love you with each kiss
Will you cross your heart and promise this
That its more than just a thrill
That you love and you will
Be True to Me

I will give you all my love dear here and now
If you only make this solemn vow
That you mean the things you say
Please be fair in every way
Be true to me

I’m so helpless when you touch me
Feeling feelings that I’ve never felt before
Oh my darling say you love me
If you love me I’ll be yours forever more

So I beg you to be gentle with my heart
Darling promise me we’ll never part
Through each night and through each day
Through the years that slip away
Be true to me

Temperaments

A lot has happened in the last 2 weeks...my little one is now 2, Fai came back to celebrate his birthday.. we argued over a silly little thing.. sighhh.. my heart was so heavy the whole week after he left. Even told Fai to come back for the Good Friday weekend and I'll pay for his tickets.. if only we'd both just watch our mouths and not be so hot tempered.. how can 2 people who love each other dearly argue after not seeing for a month is beyond my understanding!!

I guess thats what real love is.. Over the GF weekend we just spent the day at the beach hanging out.. its nice at East Coast sometimes.. i guess we are too used to the nice sandy beaches at sentosa... Faiz is learning a few words now.. he's saying all the end vowels but i guess thats better than none.

Last night was really sweet.. the boys were brushing my hair until glossy... i felt so dolled up.. texted Fai and he said since i have no daughter to doll up its a consolation getting dolled up by my boys.. it felt so relaxing also after the stomping massage by Faris that i got knocked out by 10pm!!!

Today's agenda?? Probably going to Toy's R Us to get Mama's birthday present.. an electronic globe thats she's been eyeing for years!!! Its a big change from Correll last year to a Globe! We'll probably leave early since papa has got coaching at 3pm.

I've mapped out my leave for the entire year!! Its funny but i guess its better being 'kiasu' and get the dates i want that troubling everyone at the last minute!

The tickets for Jakarta is booked already for the 25th May till 28th May and since Fai is flying down for Zaki's wedding on the 9th June i thought i'll space it out nicely... end 23rd June I'll be flying up on my own for the wedding .. was thinking of bringing the kids but just worried they'll get tired etc... also my intention of going in May is also to do another kebaya... the gold one that Fai bought me is lovely...... so i'll probably wear it on one of the days..

March was a good month.. i hit $853K sales and extra comm.. so end April will be enjoyable.. lol.. Fai is already asking for a Tiffany bracelet the World Series one.. whatever that it.. i guess its better getting him something that i'll be able to see than me blowing the money on food!! ehehhe
