12:30 pmThe Needful Things
I am happy with our current financial status. Things have been improving and we are so contented to have wonderful supports from our families. On a brighter note, hubby got a big project with a certain company dealing with Hummers and Lamborghinis. Yes, did I type it correctly? Lamborghinis! That is beyond our expectation. Never did I expect that he got the deal to create the website for such a reputable company and that explained why he badly need a skilled photographer in order for him to put all the photos in their website!
After several discussions with him, we decided that we got to take our own risk by taking photos for the Hummer (yeah not Lamborghini because that wasn’t the main thing that the boss wants to promote at the moment). We feel that it is unfair to pay nothing to stranger who volunteered for the photoshoot. They got nothing and we got something. That is so unfair and unjust.
Anyway, it is not my project and the boss will not give us Lamborghini or Hummer just because my hubby got the deal for the website. Lol! I was thinking to earn extra money too after being inspired with the hubby’s hobby which has finally bears some fruits on it.
But what am I to be? I think I am more prone in spending money than to earn money. *roll eyes*
Tracking back on the Hummer photoshoot, I told hubby that it is time to buy good camera or SLR so that we can take better quality of the picture. As usual, he wasn’t keen on my idea and told me that he wants to earn money and not spending money on such items. But heck! Aren’t the SLR meant for work purpose? (of course, to me its more than that, it’s more for my own camwhoring and without any useful purpose, geez!)
Not only that he refused to buy the SLR camera, he even objected to my request of buying a new fan to be placed at Shibly’s room! I almost wanted to scream at him for being so stingy and so unreasonable. I have my reason to buy the fan of course. I do not like the idea to switch on the air-con in his room because i hate to close the window as it only turns out to make his room more dull and gloomy. But come to think of it again, what is the purpose of buying fans when you have air-cons in every room? Well, I do still have my reason and I shall keep that to myself at the moment.
Apparently, the project that he is working on now has yet to be completed and thus resulted to a “how much do we need to quote them’ question. Of course, few thousands has been lingered in his mind but he is as timid as a mouse can be whenever he have to face with such situation. My husband is not not not good when quoting a price and will always ask for my opinion. Being the ‘ya-ya-or’ accountant wife, ( I have to be ya-ya-or because I love my husband and hate to see him got bullied with ungrateful pests) I will have to give my 2 cents worth of price to him. Only then he will start to open his mouth and give his 2nd thought of my quotation and then agreed with it and will proceed to tell his customer of his best price.
Sigh. Not only he is timid with the quotation stuffs but he is at times, too kind-hearted. After being dealt with a great blow few years back (all thanks to the failure of ***which he has been working so hard on it and were paid with a minimal sum for a price of your monthly power supply bills), we decided not to give face to any friends when comes to business. Business is business and if you’re unhappy with the price quotation, feel free to approach other web designers. We have learnt so much from people that we feel that we are being stepped and stabbed real hard from them. People love to take advantage when we are being nice to them. These people still pretend that nothing happened when their project failed and could even ask for his help again to set up another one! That is very ridiculous and that is part of the reason why he has stayed away from drifting. Drifting was his passion and if you have no money, better stay away from the rich and never invite troubles. 
Anyway, Shibly is turning 2 in 3 months time. That is very fast and I have yet to plan for the future. The actual fact is, I planned so many things for Shibly but I have not started with any of my plans yet. I feel that I need to spend more time with him and the thought of being SAHM has to be destroyed forever. I know that I can never be one. But I am thankful of course, to be blessed with this current job and a husband who can still support me at the same time.
My sister in law is getting married this weekend and I am indeed happy for her. Things will definitely changed once she got married and who knows, there might be additional members in our family next year? The thought of having extra member in the family has started to haunt me. Is it time for me to start saving and revised back all my expenses? Will things go smoothly as ever or do I have to juggle with times and thinking of a way to earn extra money to hire a maid in future?

Syukur alhamdullilah things are getting better with you & family
. More projects coming your way, insyaAllah.
Yup, akak agree, those pests, keep away from them.. toxic lar..
True too, as wifey, we need to sound the hubby out, be it for home-front or work-front or leisurefront, coz two heads are better than one..
Dek, why not consider childcare for your darling Shibly? It’s tiring akak noe coz I’ve done that so can tell of experience, but at least saves $$$$$.

no harm being kiasu. akak plak, over-planing/overthinking – plan & plan tapi kalu tak menjadi, takpe, at least prepared
.heheh.
err, kalu dah 50% nak put in childcare, then do the kiasu bit – call & reserve a slot
.
All the best
