Spring Cleaning

Went out last night for some christmas shopping and I came across a store selling those cute "LITTLE MISS" tee's. Now I don't know about you, but I've always been a huge fan of those. So I decided to take a minute to quickly browse through, hoping that I'd find something I liked. Low and behold, I saw one with "LITTLE MISS TIDY" in purple. How appropriate! It's not that I'm a neat freak or some obsessive compulsive cleaning machine but I do like to keep things fairly neat and orderly in my household. In fact, I found it to be quite therapeutic... be it cleaning or re-arranging the furniture.

However, that wasn't the case today... Far from it! I had only intended to re- organize the top shelf of one of the cupboards to make room for some personal items, but before I knew it, I got carried away. My hands went into automode and was already dragging everything out from under all the lower shelves. It never really occured to me just how much stuff our little family have accumulated at our new home up till now. Prior to the move, we've already cleared a whole lot of items which were in top condition eg: toys,clothes etc. Perhaps this is another good time to do the same.... something like a garage sale... Sounds fun to me =)

Saturday

Had a fantastic weekend with my family. It's one of those weekends where you just feel completely free and relaxed... without having an agenda, and not having to rush for anything at all. Last Saturday, my hubby and I took the kids out to Ikano Power Center, which is located in PJ and is one of the most popular malls in town. Thank God, the traffic wasn't heavy as it only took us less than 15 minutes to get there, parking included. For those, who are familiar with the place, you'll get what I mean =) For those who aren't, well all I can say is... weekends in Ikano is like a madhouse! And I'm not even talking about public holidays...lol

We arrived just before noon yet it was already crowded with shoppers both big and small. The mall was alive and vibrant with various Christmas decorations from Christmas trees to garlands and gorgeous ornaments. Colorful and interesting stalls made a long line, along the pavement outside the mall with some shoppers curiously peeking at what was being displayed and sold. There was also plenty of activities specially for kids. From bouncy castles to sand art, not forgetting a special program by Playhouse Disney and Astro. The anticipation of Christmas was evident!

From a distance I was able to see a group of people getting ready to move into their positions on the stage. They were carolers from St.Xaviers Church. The musicians, were on the left hand side of the stage and were making final adjustments to their instruments. Then a couple of minutes later, they belted out their 1st number 'Joy To The World'.

At approximately 3pm, we then decided to head for home.

A Day Out

Will be taking the boys out to a nearby mall for a "meet & greet" session with the adorable Lilo & Stitch at noon. How fun for them! Also have to remember to bring along my camera to take some shots so that I'm able to post em here =)
