MISSION IMPOSSIBLE...Wow! I left this blog so long and my little garden for so long that they almost died. The only ones thriving are my three clumps of daun serai (lemon grass) and 3 coconut trees...Its been a busy year and I left my garden untended for most of the time. My bad... This year end my project was to fix things around the house. Wah! So ambitious. I checked out some blogs on house organizing and de-cluttering. I have spent a couple of weeks doing just that, I am still at it anyway.

As you can see, we live in a very small apartment and with the three kids growing up, I feel so suffocated and I wish that they would help out to get things moving faster. School reopens in 2 weeks and I'm already worried about getting their school stuff ready. So focus...I must focus to get one thing done after another.  COMPLETING projects is my 'pet' weakness...(I will drone on that at another time).

I've thrown up quite a number of things that were of no use and had to be stern with myself on the 'sentimental value' issues.

Hehehe..they were were busy gathering lots of dust without any help from me anyway....

Guess the garden has to wait till WE GET THE HOUSE  in order.

We seem to have acccumulated so much clothes thanks to well meaning relatives. I can only say this...my kids are so much taller and bigger now and they won't fit them clothes. Thanks to Daddy's genes, they are not so Asian in built, not so Melayu looking either. Alamak! check out their pix taken last Raya.

The little midget there is me...My youngest, who will be 12 come January 2012 has outgrown her Mama. Ketisk-ketisk...! Then there is her sister who is 14 and her brother is 15.  Its no fun being the shortest and all these lanky kids towering over me and counting my bald spot and grey hair....aiyah..!

On the brighter side, I now have these long armed beings who can easily reach for the stuff that I put up there on my gunung of kitchen cabinets that I used to get to with a long spatula, clean out the ceiling fans and wipe off the dust bunnies from the top of my cupboards....Ummm...did I see my son's eyes roll to the back of his head, again....?
