In house Picnic

**Back dated post dated 15 Dec' 08**

I finally uploaded some pics on Slide but can't seems to find his video... Ai yah.. will upload the video when I find it.

Well, I'm super lazy to take care of the Lil' Monster today (actually most of the time). Daddy is on course which leave me and the lil ones at home.

So the only way I can relax myself is to find something 'New' for my lil boy. Actually not very new, just that I normally will kept his toys away after he played and will only take it out once in the blue moon.

But to Adriel, is something new. If you still remembered I did a post on 'Diapers maniac'. No not goin blog about diapers again... Nothing on diapers. Is actually the free gift that I wanted to post - Huggies Tent.

I laid a thin mattress on the floor before putting the tent on so if he ever get a fall, it will not be so painful. When I opened up the tent, I can see a glow on his face. I went and collect some of his favourite Bears, tractors, fire truck and put inside with him.

How can a tent be complete without and Fooooooood? Well, since he already had his lunch, I decided to peels and cut an apple for him to munch. This picnic at least can last me bout half and hour before he start to get bored.

Not sure he was 'sayang-ing' (loves) his bears or just get bored with munching, he decided to fed the Bears with some apples. Not only he thought the Bear can eats the apple, even the fire truck gets fed. After a few unsuccessful feeding, he found a new way to eat the apple. His attempt was to put everything in his mouth as though as drinking the apple instead of eating it! Well, Attempt Failed with disappointment! Ended up he tried spreading the apples on the tent!!! Ai yahhhhh give me more work to do.

The next thing I noticed was he was patiently looking at the Papa Bear forehead for awhile (You can read here why the Bears has plaster on). He must be thinking "I have removed my plaster on my head, but WHY bear bear still got plaster one?" 'Mmm... bear bear is time to remove your plaster di'. So, he removed the plaster one-by-one start with Papa and than Mama and finally Baby Bear. It was so funny looking at my rascal removing the plaster. So patient and compassionate.

X'Mas Party 2008

**Backdated post 14 Dec' 08**

My office was having a X'mas Party for staff. So, this round I decided to bring Adriel to my office for the first time. He was so excited when I said 'Let's go Kai Kai'. He start walking to his room and get his clothes to me (I already decided what he should wear). Well, I did not get him to wear the clothes that he took - is just a normal shirt that he normally wears at home.

Anyway... He was thrilled with so many people around and started running around. Daddy was busy with his Roast Lamb and me chasing after a cow.. Arrgghhh

After lunch, We have a very Special Man in town - Is Santa.
Well, when Adriel name was called, I quickly pick Adriel up (from his Lego mates) and let him sit on Santa's lap. Well, he wasn't so into Santa but the Presie.. (Each parents have to buy one pressie for their owned kid).

When He got the gift, he quickly open the gift in just less than 30 sec!!Zappp...
I got him a tractor since he has been obsessed with wheels. After checking out the tractor about 15 minutes or less he started to get bored! And start running around...

Since he did not had his lunch, I decided to make him some milk. Oh Noooo... I forgotten to bring his feeding bottle!! *faint*

So, he ended up drinking only a few ounces of milk from his water bottle and start running around again!!!

Can't really stop this Hyper active boy to sit down just for a minute!
Went home he was overly exhausted and goes to bed early. What a long day for me.

My X'mas Wish

Ok, here are some Adriel X'mas gift (it was during X'mas period) from me. Not exactly as a X'mas gift for him but more likely for Me!! WHY??... for my own convenient! That's why I said my X'mas Wish... or should I say 'Our X'mas gift'???

I have been aiming for a while for these things especially the Buggy board & I finally found it:

in One Place, in One Day & in One Hour... but in Different Shop!

He was the Happiest Boy when he sat on the bouncer. His Cousin has one and everytime he visit his cousin, he surely will play with their bouncer. And now he finally owned one.

Clockwise: Buggy Board, Bouncer Donkey & Harness

My Fav ads

If u still remembered Adriel Fav advert. Is still his fav till today
When I start blogging or surfing the net, he will start asking me to watch his fav ads

And now, with an additional word from him..
Just enjoy the show :)

X'Mas Tree 2008

Sorie... this is pretty old post that i shd put up way back. And this post was drafted in Feb!

Ok, some pics of last yr X'mas (obviously). I finally managed to set up the tree after two years I kept it under my bed. The reason I did not put-up was due to Adriel was born (partly) and another reason was I will need to packed tis after the celebration was over (very likely!).

He managed to sit down quitely to get a pic taken

Ok, he can't stand it any longer....

Started to eyes on the pressie

Get scolding from Mummy but still can't resist not to touch!

Lil' Picasso with an Upgraded tools

**Backdated post 2 Feb' 09**

This posting is especially for Sting :)

If you ever thinking of what to do with your kiddo who loves to scribble but dunno what they trying to express or I shd say Drawing like a Picaso, you might wanna invest in one of this. In fact I bought a Pro Doddle by Fisher Price as well, but dare not give it to Adriel as it really needs someone who can handle it with care whereas the Aqua Doodle doesn't need much attention. Well, whoever who created or invented this, shd give him/herself a pat on the back - did such a great job. No doubt, the things actually doesn't cost much but the vendor is making money out of it. If you got this, u know wat I mean.

This creation us something very Creative (very similar with normal doddle but using water) and yet a good start for a kiddo like mine to start scribble without me worried what happen next, if I walk out for a minute.

You can get this from any shopping malls (Most) namely that I saw were Robinson & Sogo. They have two version of this. You may get one with only Blue in colour (when the cloth is wet) or a Colourful doodle. Both are from the same manufacturing. The only difference is the $$. The Blue (refers to pic), only cost less than RM50 and I got it for a bargain at RM40 when Sogo was having sale. [Tips: you can find many many toys that at a cheaper price in Sogo (during sale) from my observation.] As for the Colourful Doodle, it cost around RM120... Yeah that's the Big difference. That's why I bought the Blue one!

Ok, How this works? In this Box it has only TWO things, the doodle mat & a pen. To start drawing, all you need to do is open the cap (pen) and refills with water... and after 1 min, you can give the pen to your kiddo and he/she can start drawing like a Picasso. As easy as i-2-3.
*Note: suitable for 1.5yrs and above.

My Lil Picasso with some helps fr Daddy and his cars on parade too!

30 Mins of FAME

Ai yoh, been trying to catch up with some old post. Still got lots more to come. Dunno can finished 2008 post by end of this year or not!! ahahaha

Outstanding of Adriel addiction or craziness on smtg, X'Mas 2008, very outdated post on Our 2nd Port Dickson trip, My Cambodia trip and more on Adriel's daily life.

Wah... think bout itfeels like closing my laptop di. Just too many old post that need to do before wrapping up 2008. Big Sigh...

Ok, Just to update about myself. I finally became a vain pot by putting myself for a '30 minutes to Fame' :) Well, to be frank, Never intend to buy or get myself a portrait package after wedding pics. It was given by my sis.

My sis purchased something at the cosmetic counter (she purchased RM600 above) and received a so called 'Free makeover'. So, she said she has no time to do it, so she passed it on to me. At first I reluctant to take it as she should be doin it instead of me. She has spent so much so she really deserved to have a makeover. After much persuasion, I took it lar.. but felt guilty - Didn't buy but get Free.

So is really a impromptu thing. So headed to KLCC for a total of 30mins of fame including some makeup. Well I should say, this will be my LAST ** (of age) before turning to Big 3*

End results is tis....

The tricks: Yes, there is a trick for this. They only gave U One printed photo. If you need more or you want to get a few more that you like, you have to pay for the additional photos. So, I ended up getting 1+4pics for the price of RM150 (includes printed 4 pics and a CD of 5 pics) and some touch-up. (without touch-up kenot show ppl man! same like those wedding pics....)

So... U can say I'm still alive..

Picasa 3 - I'm Lovin it

Hey just wanna do some sharing here. I've been using Picasa 2 since I created this blog. But with the newer version of Picasa 3, I have been falling in love with it (when I start to blog back after 3-4 mths of miserable idle from blogging) and now struggling to return to blogging life.

With Picasa 3, I can do lots of things eg. collage or re-sizing. The Version 2 does hv collage but very limited things can be done as comapred to 3.

In this version, I can see significants of New things comeing up. I can edit the pic and watermark the pic as I want. And I found out that the video clip can be loaded here too. Ohh, those who created this shd be given a 'Big Thumbs Up'.

If you haven't use Picasa before, maybe you would like to download the software and play around with it. If u r blogging using blogger.com it will be a Bonus to you. You can directly upload your pics thru Picasa instead of the traditional way.

Hope this tips is useful to you. Enjoy playing with Picasa 3.

Too bad this is not a pay post... or else can get some pocket $$$ wahahaha

My Poor Lil Boy

**Backdated post dated 8 Dec'08**

This is wat happened when your child is overly excited to go 'Kai Kai' aka shopping.

This incident happened when I was at work where most of you are on holiday. It was a Pub Hol and I too 'kedekut' to take leave just to be with them. So, I left him with his Daddy's hand. (No No No is not Daddy's fault at all. In fact Daddy can take care of tis rascal much more better than Mummy)

Ok, this is wat happened. Before I log off from the office, I called home and asked Daddy to be prepared. I intended to bring Adriel out with my sis to visit my Aunty (Mum' sis) which we just found out that she diagnosed with cancer. Apparently, my Aunty totally look like a different person before she found out that she has cancer. She went for a kimo and she started loosing weight.

So, we thought we could pay her a visit since is a Pub Hol. And the Three sisters haven't seen my Aunty almost 3 years. So, we decided to bring aong our bub/s since she haven't seen them before.

On my way home, I received a phone call from Hubby.

Me: Hello
Hubby: Chai chai had a fall
Me: Huh! Where and which part did he hit?
Hubby: Forehead
Me: How bad?
Hubby: You come home first. Line cut off
Me: Was praying hard that nothing too serious happened to him

Reached home, parked car and took my car key & locked the car. Without realizing I forget about my handbag (house keys inside my bag). Reached door "Where's my handbag?" Try my luck and ring the doorbell. Sis, opened the door. "How's Adriel??"

Went in straight, he was sitting on the beanbag. "Adriel, are you ok?" Izzit pain pain?? He took his fingers and pointed at his head. Ohhh,,, U poor boy.

I quickly take out my camera and gave a few shots of him of how 'pitiful he has been' and him showing me which part it hurting him.

Some blood stained on his hanky

In the evening, tis cheeky fella started to his old habits back. *Forgotten about the afternoon knocked out*

He started to peel his plaster on his forehead which make me worries that his wound will be contaminated. Was thinking hard what I shd do???? Than I remmebered his Three lil Bears - Papa Bear, Mama Bear & Baby Bear.

Look for some plaster and managed to get and stick to each bear's forehead. After finished plastering, he looked at the Bear - Puzzled look...

Than he touches his forehead and tap on it. Hehehehe... Means Pain Pain lor..

I explained to him that Bear bear also pain pain so bear bear also need plaster like U. As usual I standby my camera and took some pics of him with his Bears. He was so cheeky tried to cover up himself with his Bear when I snap him.

After taking some pics, I took him to the mirror and showed him 'Adriel U see pain pain with plaster? See Bear bear also like U'. He happily smiling away...

So how it happened???

He was too overly excited. After having his shower, Daddy changed him into a collared T-shirt and he knew he's goin Kai Kai. So, he was happily jumping on the beanbag and hit himself at the edge of the arm chair!!

Daddy's pocket 'koyak' aka torn as he needed to pay the Doctor for one stitch. :(

MPH Warehouse

**Post Dated 27 Oct' 08**

With the economy downturn, we did our first attempt by goin to places that out of our way!. (Wat a joke - No lar I don't do tis on purpose just to save a few penny). I bugged Hubby to bring me over to MPH Warehouse as I think Adriel needed some bedtime books. He get bored with his old books and make no interest at all.

Normally, we don't bring Adriel along as we think it's too troublesome and we might ended up not getting anything if Adriel ever get cranky. But despite of the weekend, we have no choice. I guess he was happy to tagged along with us which means Daddy have to put his full attention to Adriel instead of searching for books for himself.

We didn't reached till late morning. So can you imagine the heat and sweat we gone thru. Since Adriel is under Daddy's care, I have to be quick and headed to the children section to screen around. I did a few rounds, but non of the books impress me at all. Well, I think is not the books fault, but me. I will easily get dizzy & headache when I see so many things around me with no sense of direction.

After a few rounds, I decided to pay a visit of the two boys to relief my pain. Apparently, Adriel has been behaving well. He did not complaint nor running around. He quietly sat at the corner of the wall with a paper box laid on the ground and start flipping the books. He was very happy with his Sesame St Book that Daddy gave him and keep on pointing to some pics. We wanted to buy the book but due to some defects we decided is not worth buying if the book is not in good condition.

Anyway, I managed to find a few books before we headed off home.
