So... It's going to be November soon (or is it Nov already?). I've never been good with dates. I still remember back when I'm in school, most of my assignments were wrongly dated. And up till now, I always have to check my phone calendar. Every. Single. Day. Which is also why I tend to forget to wish my friends on their birthdays. Which makes the Facebook Birthday Updates something like a Godsend to me. And then there's the Public Holidays. The only holiday I am very sure of is Hari Raya Aidilfitri. Why? Not because I am excited for Raya and hence, counts down every single day to the day but rather because of the fasting month. Its like 'ok.. today's the 5th day of Ramadan, so 25 more days to go!'.
And as I'm typing this, and checking FB at the same time, I just realized (courtesy of some friends' updates) Hari Raya Haji is this weekend. What?! Another holiday? YESSS!!

But, well.. This entry isn't about Hari Raya or the holidays but rather because as soon as I realized Nov is just around the corner, I have to start planning for Momsie and Ihsan's birthday.
No big parties or whatnot. Just a simple family celebration but still, I need to plan for the celebration and the pressies right? Right? And a family member's birthday is a HUGE deal. So must really plan properly...

Have been thinking of celebrating both my Mom and nephew's birthday together, on the same day despite the fact that Mom's in the first week of Dec and Ihsan's the last. Am still undecided on where, but have been thinking along the lines of... Buffet. Mediterranean. Seafood. Hmm.. think I might have a few ideas on just the right place.

My big sis suggested 'scrapbooking' as a present for my mom. Love the idea. And I have lots of ideas on designs.. but simply no time. Weekdays we're both packed with work. Saturdays will be our family day. And Sundays are Pergas day for me, and plus with exams coming.. Where Got Time. And how to hide such a big messy project from my Mom? She has eyes and ears all over the house. Very hard to keep things from her. Very very hard. Ahh, headache. Nevermind, we'll find a way. Maybe we can lock her out of the house. Or make Daddy bring her to some wet market in Pasir Ris for marketing.

And then... there Ihsan. What to get for his birthday? I hate having to make a decision. I suck at making decisions. During lunch time, it took me the entire lunch hour just looking thru the menu to decide what to eat. I am soooo useless at making a decision. You know what, maybe I'll just get Ihsan some school supplies since his starting nursery next year. Yeah, that'll be good, and a boring present at the same time. Oh well, I still have a long time to decide. Maybe one or two ideas would pop in my head in between now till December.

Alright. Found some websites with really cool scrapbooking ideas. Gotta check 'em out. Gonna make my one day MC today worth it, or at least, whatever's left for the day since it's already 4pm. Gahh. Time files really fast when you're at home.
