When we first get to know Astro is showing a cartoon channel (Ch611 Ceria) part of the package, Adriel finally able to conquer the tv by himself. One of his favourite cartoon series is Backkom.

I managed to get the preview of this animated cartoon in Utube. This cartoon is originated from Korea. It has a very nice 3d graphics animated series about a cute bear Backkom in various funny situation.

This bear has always been not so lucky bear and he always a clumsy bear. He always get bullied by his rivals : lizards and bird. We really enjoyed watching this cartoon as it always make us laugh and it only lasted less than 4-5 mins.

My Favourite Bobble

2009-05-20T04:15:00.000-07:00

Adriel finally managed to Touched his Favourite character. We were at the KLCC Convec Ctr for HomeDec' 09 and when he finally discovered them. He was kinda excited and keep on jumping around and following them. Is hard to get a good pic of my lil rascal when he too excited to tocuh them.

I Love U

2009-05-05T03:13:00.001-07:00

This was taken way back in early of the yr. But I was too lazy to upload this coz it takes millions yrs to upload to my Utube...

Well, I finally did managed to load it up. And my cheeky Boy finally did say the Magic word that melts my heart. He can't really say 'Luv' but his expression tells you he is.

Great Grand mother

2009-04-28T00:56:00.000-07:00

This is a pic of Adriel with his Great Grandma. She is 86 yrs old!!

Youuuuuu OUT

2009-04-06T08:30:00.000-07:00

Stop irritate me or I will do this:

Yes, This is what he normally will do if anyone does not give him way or ignoring his demand! Well, Only happens to Daddy most of the time :P

Well, If you ask me where does he learn/discover/follows from, I would Proudly say it was from Adriel's mummy :P. Well, I did not taught him this action, it just that he learned through observation! plus TV commercial!

At first I didn't realised he was following me until one day while I was in the kitchen doin what a mother should be doing, and he came into the kitchen and start playing with the kitchen utensils. Well, I guess is a norm thing when you are in hurry and you needed to do things quick without burning the kitchen down, all you need to do is ask the rascal out of the kitchen.

Anyway, knowing this rascal never follows instruction and I got to show some of my stunt by pointing my finger to him and said, Nooo (don't touch) and swift my hand over and said OUT.

Ever since we laugh at him when he say this, he even do it even more often to anyone! *fainted*

Moral of the story: Be careful what you says to your child or think twice before you say it out.

The Tantrum King

2009-04-05T08:30:00.000-07:00

Lately, Adriel's tempers has been uncontrollable. It just been getting worsen each days. And I am very skeptical to bring him out as he always throw tantrum on us. Eg. When he saw something on the shelves or anywhere, he will start demanding and if he doesn't get what he wants he will either rolled on the floor (Yes, u read it right) or continue crying as if the parents abused the kid!.

At times, he just really testing our patient. I am not sure this is considered a norm for a growing up child or We over 'manja-ing' aka pampered him.

A videoclip of How bad temper he can be at home!.
The only solution is "The Cane" or a hanger will do the tricks!

You think he deserve a Cane?? I think he does.

Yes, CONFIRMED a Boy

2009-03-12T08:29:00.000-07:00

This lil rascal has been so much IN LOVES anything with wheels. His passion towards cars, truck and train is unexplainable. is just out of sudden he likes playing with these. Yes, He has disregard his Teddy bears oledi. Teddy Bears has been a showed case on the Armchair. He dun even have a blink to the teddies at all.

Well, I guess he has grown up now. He knows what toys are for boys and what is for gals. Should I be proud? Proud that he is a REAl Boy and Boys dun play Barbie or Teddies.

Anyway, a couple of video clips of him and frens. This is what he normally does - putting all his trains & cars on my bedhead. Maybe my bedhead looks like a track to him.

My poor Lil Boy need some help

2009-03-10T02:06:00.000-07:00

**If you are having a nice meal, pls dun read this posting
It can caused lost of appetite**

Guess what happened to him?
Well, yes he is tired and at the same time something did happened.

Again, I was home alone with him again.. Sigh

After we came back from his Kindermusik class, Adriel was quite reckless. At first I thought he misses his Daddy and trying to look around. I was actually surfing the net and decided to be with him and tried to calm him down. I switched on the tv and let him watch his favourite Barney.

He was very uneasy and he decided to voice out. Ng ng (Poo poo). I straight away took out his potty and I can see he is trying his best to do his big biz. Well, he has been sitting on the potty for almost 15mins and nothing seems coming out. He even cried. Ohh... my Poor boy. At that time I was so heart sicked. I just dunno what to do. So the only rescued is Aunty!!!!

Me: Aunty Adriel cannot Ng Ng
Aunty: Huh.. must be heaty or not drinking much water
Me: So wat shd I do now?
Aunty: (Be warned very disgusting...) try putting a toothpick and helped him to removed the hard stool.
Me: *Jaw line dropped*. OMG...
Aunty: This is what I have been doin when he has hard stool. You must remove it. Once you removed the the hard stool, the rest will flow easily..
Me: Ok (with disguised) Thanks Aunty

Returned to him. He is still feeling uneasy and cried with frustration. Tried Aunty method.. No choice lar... who asked him he is my son! I asked him to lift up his bum and tried what Aunty ahs just said. I nearly get the hard stool out but he pushed it back! Anyway, I failed as he kept on fussing and throwing tantrums.

Wrapped him with diaper and he lied on the beanbag. I went back to my computer when i saw him calmed down. One minutes later, something was wrong. Why no sound one?? Normally he will make noise or do some nonsense.

Walked closely to him and saw him Zzz.

He must have been very very tired and at the same time want to poo poo.
Isn't he cute??

On that night, he managed to poo without any fuss. Phew.. or else I ended up donating some money out to the Doc.

In house Picnic

2009-02-28T10:55:00.000-08:00

**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

2009-02-27T10:13:00.000-08:00

**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

2009-02-26T02:02:00.000-08:00

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

2009-02-25T08:27:00.000-08:00

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..

X'Mas Tree 2008

2009-02-23T07:01:00.000-08:00

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

2009-02-22T06:42:00.000-08:00

**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

2009-02-16T03:41:00.000-08:00

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

2009-02-12T03:24:00.000-08:00

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

2009-02-10T06:51:00.000-08:00

**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

2009-02-01T03:47:00.000-08:00

**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.

Zoo here we come

2009-01-31T03:11:00.000-08:00

I have been disappeared again for almost a mth after seeing my last post! Hehehe.. Some of you might even having a long neck oledi since I promised to post our zoo trip but did not make it happen! Sorie.

**Post dated 01 Oct' 08**

A week before goin to Zoo, we have been educating Adriel by letting him to watch Barney (Let's we go to the Zooo...). I think is good in a way, at least he has a rough idea of the animals before seeing the 'Real' ones.

As what we have planned on First day of Raya, we decided Not to postpone this trip any longer. It has been postponed since 1st May aka Labour Day. I also invited Ley Mei's Fmly & My Kolik's Fmly to join our Adventure since all of us have no plans for this Raya Holidays.

Adriel woke up about 8itsh and I was half way packing his stuff and mine. While Hubby helped me to changed Adriel and get ready for our journey. We took the Middle Ring Road (MRR) since it's nearer to our home and the whole journey was very smooth since it was a public hols. We managed to get a nice parking spot since we are early.

Paid the entrance fees at RM15/adult & Adriel went in for free (3yrs and below).

I made some some fingers food a day before such as bread with sausages and cheese & some Pork balls so this will goes very handy if Adriel wants to have a bite of this instead of his milk. Well, In actually fact all this ended up to our tummy. He insisted to eat (well he took a bite or two) and since we were rushing to be at the Zoo at 9am we didn't have any chance to have breaky this eventually goes handy for us :)

Our 'Packing List' includes:

Stroller
Mini Fan
Themos
Water tumbler
One container of 20 chicken wings
One container of bread and sausages
One container of pork balls

*The stroller was full of container because I was so scared the security guard will confiscate our food! Well thank goodness, nothing had happened. Phew... Well, Is not that I kiasu of bringing so much food. I just wanna make sure we will not get famish end of the day as I heard the food court no longer has KFC and I am definitely sure, there won't be much choice of food for us to have. So by packing some food, It will at least fill up our tummy. Anyway, we and my kolik did have our lunch at one of the fast food place. Couldn't remember the name of the place but the concept like KFC. The Q was long as this is the only fast food place. There are some restaurant around the corner which provides some local food which wasn't that cheap.

We didn't have the time to take the tram.. Which we should at the first place!!. By the time we wanted to ride, it was really really long Q. Well, maybe another trip to the Zoo again before Adriel turns 3 :)

BTW, we left the zoo about 5pm which means we hv been at the zoo almost 8 hrs! Well, Adriel started to get cranky at 3itsh as we have no chance to take his morning nap. Poor Boy, he was so Exhasutedand slept all the way home.

Our overall experience, I really considered this was a WORTH paying a visit. A good experience for myself and Hubby since we haven't been to this place for nearly 10-15 yrs! So is like returning to Memory Lane To Us and an eye opener to Adriel. Well, I guess my expectation was lower this time (not comparing with Singapore Zoo!) kekeke

To All, that read and comment on my blog, would like to say "A Millions of Thank You" for the encouragements and support that you have given me. I really feels very appreciated on what I wrote. Your comments has opened up my eyes (*blink *blink) that I shouldn't Give up no matter how Busy or Lazy I'm co'z U haven't give up in me (thank you again). Well, Is really hard at times juggling between a worker, a mom, a wife & being myself. But I guess, this is what it's called 'Life Cycle'.

Of coz, I DID tried very hard to start posting BUT everything definitely something stopped me from doin it. In fact, after I came back from my trip to Cambodia, my Internet went Bonkers! So no internet for almost a mth and since I haven't been blogging, that even WORST, never take any effort and initiative to troubleshoot the internet. Till hubby bugging me to start repairing the internet or else he will be wasting his money at the internet cafe just to surf the net. Well, I still yet to resolve some of the problems BUT at least I managed to get the internet working. I gave myself a Credit as I am not an IT Savvy but managed to get it works! Dun ask me what I have done co'z I really dunno the answer.

Now, not only tis Blog has been attacked by spider web even My brain also became Rusty. Need to do a bit of knocking in order to get it work.

Will try to update you more of some Post pics of my Monster. BTW, Monster has Officially turned TWO y'day :)

Last but not least, HAPPY BLESS NEW YEAR.

Love
Mummy Monster

FOS - Kids & Teens

2008-10-18T21:11:00.000-07:00

Hi All,

Juz a quick post (have no time to blog on Zoo & Port Dickson yet!).

Thought of sharing this shop if you not aware of it existing. Found this shop while my intention is to redeem my prize (will blog bout tis later) . Is a Factory Outlet Shop aka FOS which sells lots of kids clothing. This is a bit extraordinary to me as I always came across FOS for Adult and with very little of kids clothings.

Sometimes they do have some nice clothes and you might get one for yourself too. As for the price, I won't say very cheap ~ so so lar...

If you are not particular about old season clothing or some rejected bits and pieces, this shop you should worth paying a visit. Another shop that I also recommend is Brands Outlet (the one that I known was situated at Ikano) a big shop where you can get varieties of clothing or house furnishing.

Here is the pic of the shop

FOS @ 1 Utama New Wing
I think is located at 2nd Floor - IF NOT, it's at Kid Floor

Picnic with my Teddies Bears

2008-10-14T02:20:00.000-07:00

Adriel has a DATE with his My Papa Bear, Mama Bear, Koh Koh Bear & Baby Bear at the Front View from the Balcony!

Concentrated Boy

2008-10-13T03:02:00.000-07:00

We finally managed to get Adriel to sit quietly for an hour by focusing/glued to the TV! At least he wasn't running around or digging out his toys and make a tornado out of it!

Hehehe... hahahaha... Yes I am very very hapi :e

Who make him so Focus?
Welcome to Elmo's World

Yes, I am goin to buy more Elmo Cd's or burn more :)
(You have any Elmo's Cd? Pls help me to burn)

While I was sitting beside him, *scratching head* 'Wat so great about Elmo?'
I'm yet to find out the answer!!

*I never like Sesame St when I was a toddler. Never ever... till now. Dunno why? Maybe their English very Bombastic to me. Couldn't understands wat they trying to say! That's why I started him on Barney instead of Sesame St.

Elmo: Do u know How does Cookie Monster eat his cookies?
My jaw nearly dropped when I saw how Cookie Monster eat his cookie.
He was so grubby & greedy.

*shaking head* Wondering 'will Adriel eat like tis?' If Yes, I'm goin to have a heart attack soon!

And another word I learned fr Sesame St "Get Lost" :)

Ok, peeps is time to say 'Get Lost'!

We are off to Port Dickson AGAIN

2008-10-09T18:34:00.000-07:00

Hi, we are goin to Port Dickson for a short trip today. Only 3D2N as Mummy & Adriel are tagging Daddy for a conference.

2008-10-07T02:18:00.000-07:00

Was doing some window shopping, when I saw tis cute Pink Dress. It was really an irresistible of not buying as I really like girly stuff.

I got home and showed tis to Hubby, "Don't u think tis Dress is cute'? Hubby nodded. On the other hand, Tan Sri was patting his chest and indicating 'I want to wear'. So, I can't say No right to his command since he asked for it and he can be my model.

Ok, is totally not my fault. I have my Hubby as a Witness. (Yes, I'm responsible to his earlier post, (about 6mths ago) that I make him to wear.

Tis round I'm not liable to his act.

*Sasha, U think Adriel gonna KILL me too when he gets to read tis??

I have been thinking about spending AGAIN. Still considering of getting a good and reasonable price of a camera.

My current Pentax Optio A10 which has served me about 2 1/2yrs has showing signs of 'Bye Bye' to me. It still functional, just that the batt can't fully recharge either using the direct or indirect charger and the batt clip has been broken.

It was quite frusfrating as I need to charge the batt quite frequent in order to have a full bar of batt. Even though I have a full bar, that doesn't mean my batt last very long.

My next aim is to get a DLSR1 camera - those bulky & mostly black in colour. Been searching for awhile for any good brands. But it does not come cheap. A minimum of RM2K which I need to pay. I have one in my mind now, Canon E450 at minimum price of RM3K. Sigh!!

Do I really need a 'hi-tech' camera or just a normal Digital cam? Sigh... this are the Q that always stop me from buying.

These pics was my current camera. Still can take good pics - sometimes!

If you have any frens (or pig & dog frens) working/selling on camera Pls let me know. I'm really on a tight budget. Maybe I can consider second-hand camera too!

FRIM Day

2008-10-04T02:26:00.000-07:00

**Backdated long time ago ! 11 Aug' 08!**

The Monster Family decided to pay a visit to our Reserved Forest at FRIM, Kepong not very far from our home. We took an evening car ride and only reached in 10 minutes.

When we reached at the entrance, we need to pay RM5 which includes vehicle & the driver and subsequent passengers (adult) will have to pay RM1. (kids maybe for free)

If we are still kid-less, we will normally parked our car outside the entrance and only pays RM1 for each person. Since we have a kid, we are so darn lazy! Eh... somemore got long way to walk inside ler. At least another kilometer away!

After we parked our car, we start our journey on the way to the slope which will leads us to canopy walk. Adriel has been requesting to be 'pow pow' (carried) all the way up!

Can you imagine how Me & Hubby has been taking turns to carried him? Moreover is a slope which make it more difficult to be carried. Is like double burden while walking up the slope. We did try to make him to walk by himself (so we can have a little rest) but tis only lasted for a minute or two!

On our way up & down, I did taught him a word or two. Most obvious are the 'trees' and 'leaves'. When we reached to the pit stop before proceed to the jungle trekking, we took some rest and me being so paranoia with mozzies, start spraying mozzies repellent to his legs, arms and face.

And we did not continue to climb further as we really almost have empty up or energy. When we reached the down hill, it was such a relief...Phewww.

On our way up the slope
(at the time Daddy still have fully recharge energy)

At the pitt stop before proceed to 'real' trekking

Dunno why tis photo of him looked so sad.
Especially his droopy eyes

Overall, I was quite disappointed with FRIM. The Management did not do a great job in maintaining the whole place especially the waterfall & pond. The waterfall was so murky and I was really disappointed with the whole thing. I really feels the authority should do something about it if they really want to conserve our forest and educate our future kids.

Yes, my future Picasso!

Brush Brush Brush

2008-10-01T10:05:00.000-07:00

I've been teaching Adriel to use his Lil' Toothbrush but never seems to be very successful. He normally will eagerly loves the taste of his toothpaste more than brushing!.

I really have no idea how to teach him the correct way to do it. So, every weekend I'll try to brush in front of him so he can learn some technique of brushing. I always think is better to teach a person the practical way as it easier to learn by watching.

While I was brushing moving my hand up and down, left and right he will start following me.

When comes to his bath time, surprisingly I can see he started to used the method that I taught him. And when time to rinse his mouth, I can see No more toothpaste left!

And My Bath time...

Bib Bib

2008-09-30T04:14:00.000-07:00

I found a cute lil’ latex Bib (not those normal bibs) at Baby Loft just next to Adriel’s Music school. Dunno how it coax me into buying this as I have no intention to buy anything in the shop - just wanna browse around what is new.

I reckon this shop has a very mummy-friendly (for first timer mother). You can get anything from this shop from A to Z. Eg. Breastpump & etc equipments, baby cream (mozzies/first aid ) You name it, she has it all. I’m glad this shop open near my house. At least I knew where to scout for things when I needed it urgently – especially breastmilk storage bags. No, No I’m NOT having a baby – ONLY IF I have I will do my shopping here, it’s just so convenient. It may not the cheapest place to shop but at least I knew an alternative place to shop.

See cute or not?

Got the 'mangkuk' place where u can store all his mess!

Toilet Training

2008-09-29T23:49:00.000-07:00

**Backdated 9 Sept' 08**

Aunty has been toilet trained him for the last few mths. (Lazy Mummy dun bother to train him!) But when he is with us, I hardly finds him doing it. Weekend on Saturday from Two o'clock onwards will be us taking care of him till he return to Aunty's house on Monday at 8.30am. He will hold on to his Big Business till on Monday when he's at Aunty's house. Yes, can you imagine my Boy without Big Business for Two days! He just doesn't like doin it at our house.

Aunty also said when he do his Big Business, he will normally goes near to his potty and ask Aunty to take off his nappy. Than he will push Aunty aside when he do his business, as he does not like Aunty watching him! (I was laughing at the way Aunty express and the gesture while she explains to me). I guess he was a bit shy when doin business. So far, Aunty said he hardly will poo on his nappy. Well, a good news to me. As Diapers will be cross from my list soon :)

Anyway, this is his first time he requesting me to put him to the toilet bowl with a 'mini'. Yah sahaja sahaja wanna test me. So, I did as instructed. I dun even have high hope on him to wee wee or ng ng. Anyway, He managed to do a little bit of wee wee. I'm very proud of his effort.

He is trying hard to push fr his facial expression

Can some more smile

Zooo....Zoooooo

2008-09-28T21:28:00.000-07:00

We have decided to bring Adriel over to The National Zoo for this coming Raya Hols (1st Oct’ 08). A good opportunity for Adriel to learn the ‘Real’ thing rather than looking at the book that he has been reading. Did some research before we make our move – Yes, it’s open…Yahooo

You wanna join us too? If you happen to bum into us, do say Hi. :)

Have anyone of you bought your kid/s over to Zoo? Really need some of your inputs on this. I’m having a lil’ bit of nightmare if it doesn’t turn out the way I wanted. Eg crowded, too hot or disappointment when we reached.

On the other hand, I heard there is No more KFC Restaurant as it already took over by Marry Brown! Marry Brown?? Do they hv good food? I have a feeling their food would be so-so. So, I intended to pack food from home. Maybe some simple homes cook food. But one problem – do they allowed outside food???

I’m praying hard everything would be goes smoothly. I really hope to see animals in the cage as I experienced somewhere (dunno where) I only saw the cage but no animal. I know I shouldn’t have high hopes on M’sia services But I really hope my view is wrong. Pls proof me wrong. I really want to see M’sia can do it, the way other countries (eg Singapore Zoo) has been doing.

What will we see at the Zoo
We will we see at the Zoo zee Zoo

My Lil' Maid of Honour

2008-09-14T03:36:00.000-07:00

Do you think he looks like a Maid?

High Class punye!
(Actually he was still sick when tis pic was taken)

Remembered my previous post about Hair band? Guess what? He breaks my hair band and I got to find an alternative way to get a new one.

So, We (me & kolik) went to Watson at Avenue K after lunch (Lunch time also kenot let go must shop). There were having clearance sale and we saw so many many things to buy! And the prices like 77 cents or 1.77 or 2.77... My eyes balls like poking out di. Here goes my shopping of the day!

Actually should put the blame to my kolik. She is the one telling me "Eh, 77 cents only ler" and "Wah so cheap" and goes on and on. And the Best part was, people seeing us so crazy putting the things to our basket, they also get hooked up and follows us!! So ended up, this Watson at Avenue K (considered the MOST boring & no ones ever visit) have the most customers of the DAY.. ALL Thanks To US :)

I tell u, the BEST shopping I ever had (not sure bout my kolik). Bought this and that and our total bills only comes up to RM70++ kekeke... (not gonna display wat we got)

Sorie out of topic edi. Back to my hair band story. Since he broke my hair band which I found tis in Watson (at least this won't get breaks unless he tears it).

I was about to put on my head to test it and this rascal demanded to be put on his head!! He was tapping on his head - yah so vain pot ler!

Virus again aka Adriel's Best Fren

2008-09-11T23:55:00.000-07:00

**Backdated 7 Sept' 08**

My poor Boy is down with 3-in-1 (Flu, Cough+Phlegm and Fever). All thanks to his Precious Daddy. Daddy has passed on the Virus to Adriel. Poor boy. Look at him, so moody and clingy on me.

Beanie

2008-09-10T23:11:00.000-07:00

**Backdated 23 Aug' 08**

I always wanted to get a Bean Bag for Myself or for everyones usage as it has light weight and it's so super comfy. So I did my search around and found one of the shop in Sunway Pyramid.

Only after a week, I decided to bring out the Bean that we bought and try to refill the bag. At first Daddy said he wanted to do it all by himself (outside the house) as he does not wanting Adriel to know what is inside the bean bag. I'm sure u get what I mean. Who knows tis rascal might try to open the bag when our eyes are not at him... which can leads us having heart attack with all beads around us!!

While Daddy busy filling up the Bean Bag with polyester beads, Mummy was busy mendling Adriel.

Suddenly Daddy opened the main door and said:

D: I needed your help, dear
M: 'Huh.. but how?' How bout Adriel?
D: We just do it slowly lor coz I can't do it by myself as I need someone to hold and someone to push the beads down
M: Ok lor...wat other choice do we have? :(

So while helping Daddy to fills up the bag, sudden dunno from no where the beads started to come out from the plastic. OMG... Daddy & Mummy quickly STOP filling up and started to pick up the beads ASAP without thinking wat to do.

Mummy & daddy busy picking up the beads and tis Boy of ours also follows our footsteps. Ahhh... We felt so relieve that not only he helps us he also try to catch the beads for us. At first our worried was he will pick and put inside his mouth! But after seeing him helping us, I dunno why I have this kind of feeling "my Boy is a BIG boy edi".

Boy Bizee @ work picking up beads
(Tis must be fun for him!)

The Eye of Colourful Tower

2008-09-08T08:01:00.000-07:00

Since 'The Eye of M'sia' will be gone soon, Adriel has built the "Slimmest & Colourful Tower for Malaysia".

This is what he normally will do if he finds any of his bits and pieces lying around the house, he will stack till he built a tower and later what happened to the Tower??

I bet you know the answer!!
Ta daa... Adriel's Colourful Tower

Mid Autumn Festival aka Mooncake Festival

2008-09-05T23:22:00.000-07:00

Yup, Mooncake Festive Season is approaching - 14 Sept' 08. How can we forget about lantern? Gee... is that means it approaching end of the yr??

So this will be Adriel First time having Lantern, as last year he still doesn't appreciate much on this.

This Lucky Boy oledi got Two. Aunty (Babysitter) really Loves Adriel. She bought Bumble Bee for him a couple of weeks back (Yup, Aunty is very sweet) . And it comes with AA batteries (I think Aunty bought extras - knowing this Mum of him might not buy him any!!). The music is a bit noisy! Hahaha... Shall do a video on tis later.

I bought one for him last week from Tesco! Ultraman airplane cost cheaper than Aunty's - *shy*. We didn't know till we saw it at Tesco. The Ultraman only cost RM8.90 while Aunty's Bumble Bee cost RM11.90!

And Daddy bought some papers lantern too. We thought to educate him that lantern was first made in papers and as time goes, plastic was introduced. But how to tell him??? We also dunno! Let him play with it and see how he gonna destroy the paper lantern!

At this stage we will not be buying any candles as we scared we will be Homeless.

Enjoying his paper lantern.

Ohh Ahh Err...

2008-09-03T07:50:00.000-07:00

Adriel has his owned Handphone now. Yes, Uncle Obee got him one when he was in S'pore. So, this fella like to follow our footsteps (especially Mummy's when answering the phone) by walking to the balcony while answering the call.

Got BIG potential to 'kau lui'
So, pls leave down your Name & Telephone no. If you would like to have a chat with My Chatter Box. He can be a good entertainer but one thing you will definitely wonder... what's he mumbling??? "If only Mummy can reads his mind!"

Question 1:
List down the household chores you hate and why.

My answers:

I guess most of us have almost the same answer to this - IRONING CLOTHES!!
I always have the excuse of not ironing my clothes as I think is really takes lots of my time. I am not a person who iron clothes for one or two piece/s.

Is all depends on my MOOD in order for me to move my butt off to this job. Once I start ironing, It will takes up at least2-3 hrs.

That's why I bug (yes, bug Hubby to buy a STEAM IRON for my B'day pressie :p
That was like err... when ah?? Die really couldn't remembered when!! Getting old edi.

I think3-4yrs ago kua. I asked him to buy those commercial used steam iron!!! I am sure you have seen it before. When you waked into Ladies or Man departments you will see someone using it. Sorrie I am not good in explaining so here is the pic!
I got smtg very similar to this

Now, U know how lazy I am!!

Question 2

Do you think you can survive without helpers and nannies?

Well, I definitely can live WITHOUT a maid as you can see We are the MAID to 'My Lil' Monster.

In fact there are a few reasons NO maid is GOOD because

We can have our Privacy - No interference to our personal life
No missing things/valuable in the house even though we missed place it. Nobody to blame EXCEPT us
We think we clean Cleaner than having a maid
No eyeing on maid to do the house chores
Not worried to have a runaway maid
No cost incurred on Agent fees- for the time being

Overall, I'm very Happy with my current 'Maid'. He sweeps, mops and he cleans the house for me. He even can clean better than me - from my observation. He even child minding my lil' monster when I goes shopping/having my own time :)

The ONLY thing that my 'Maid' doesn't contributes are anything to do with clothes (Washing, Folding & Ironing) and Cooking is another No-no.

Ok, Now I wan to know who can beat my laziness.... ok the tag will goes to:

On weekends, I will normally like to wear specs and on top of that with my hairband so I can push all my fringe to the back. Yes, you can imagine how 'Ah Soh' I'm during weekends. Err... even during weekdays you will find an 'Ah Soh' but better version lar :P

Anyway, whenever my Boy see me with hairband, he kind of 'tak tahan'. I dunno why. He will give me an indication 'touching/tapping his head with his hands' or 'pointing his finger to my head'. Only I can understand what he trying to indicate to me.

He just loves me to put the handband to his head. He even try to push his hair to the back like wat I did to myself... Well, basically he follows whatever I do. *Faint*

When I tried to steal the hairband back from him, he will be wailing at me till I give-in!!!!! Ok ok Give up. U win

Mummy said I look very Leng Lui?
What do u think?

He pose to me when I took out the camera

My First Attempt

2008-08-11T04:47:00.000-07:00

**Backdated 19 July' 08**

This post is still on Kuantan. Yup, haven't finish my posting on Kuantan yet! I'm almost finishing Kuantan post.. (the reason I skipped was, it takes time to download the pics and juzt wanna switch your attention to other post of mine)

Here's his first attempt to feed himself. Gosh, I tell U I was so so so glad he didn't attempt this at home. PHEW....

Having our seafood dinner... at dunno where. We had a great time but Lil' Monster decided to give me work. Doesn't want to eat unless he holds the spoon himself.

It was super duper messy, and I felt bad and at the same time SHY when I saw the floor was full of rice and a piece of spoon! Too shy till I dun dare to take pic on the floor as a proof (or else ppl will say I dunno how to educate my own son).

He was labeled by me as "a nuisance of the Day!"

Another Tornardo hit us AGAIN

2008-08-07T03:39:00.000-07:00

Master Tornardo Chong started his Menace again!

Sigh!!!!!!.... Can u see him standing at the side?? He felt guilty liou.
After get scolding from ME. Couldn't remembered, did I whack him or not??.
I think I did

So, I decided to sweep the floor instead of picking up one-by-one.
Easier mah...

I noticed he broken some of his toys.
Eg. The Jumbo with telephone set (given by a kolik)
The trailer... (Detached head, detached bones) Try to figure out wat I mean
Oh yah.. the Bouncy Penguin!
(in tis pic still looks ok.. but two days later, the air came off)

The Menace decided to help me to sweep the floor
And ended up double work for me!

Diapers MANIAC

2008-08-04T03:15:00.000-07:00

**Backdated post 25 July' 08**

See, how many diapers did I get just because it was having Promo and at the same time got free gift. Well, in order to get a free gift, I need to buy at least SEVEN packets of diapers to get one free gift.

From this pic, it tells I bought 21 packets of diapers which means it cost me RM420. Of coz, all these are not Totally for my Boy. Out of 21 packets I only bought 4 packets :) and out of 4 packets, ONLY two belongs to my Tan Sri as the others two is for Twins Bro.

Everyone in the shopping mall gave me a kind of look...she must be crazy or she must be having sextuplets. Hahaha... This is the only time I bought so much of diapers. My car booth are full of diapers until now!! - as a fren of mine still haven't collect from me.

Once a upon a time, I have this craziness of buying Milk Formula, as I was told it will be increased sooner or later. So, 5 mths back I bought SEVEN tins of 1.8kgs milk formula and TWELVE tins of 400gms milk formula. So, can u imagine how much stocks I have? I think, these formula at least can lasted me till end of this year. As I just started Enfagrowth for My Boy.

Here is a summary of being a MOM

Becoming a MOM means:

you will rush to buy cheap diapers when on promo
very alert when the milk formula is goin to increase
check out the newspaper (almost everyday) where there is a sale on diapers/milk formula
stock up what you think is gonna be increased
lookout for sale on Toys... and more toys
get info from frens either bloggers/forum on anything that's cheap/promo
getting FREE stuff especially diapers samples
seeing others kids having tis and tis, which make your heart shake shake, u also wan to get it for your kid/s
entering contest to gets rewards
How can I forget WAREHOUSE sale... you will never missed!

Basically, after becoming a mother your focus has switch to Kid/s stuff. Don't you agreed with me? No more fancy, fancy clothes and shoes for yourself. Sigh..

Most of the time when you shop in the shopping mall, you might start of with your stuff BUT ended up in Children's Cashier! All the plastics bags are from the Children's Departmental Store!

I never believe this quote when my colleagues told me this "Once you have kids, you will shop more for your kids rather than yourself". I guess she was totally Right.

No No to Beach, Yes Yes to Pool

2008-07-26T08:01:00.000-07:00

Day 2

Ok, some pics of the pool since the last post was on Beach. Guess U r sick of the beach oledi by now. Just have some peek at the pool at Hyatt.

Pool No. 1 with Baby Pool

We've quite skeptical if Adriel will missed his "Sarong Cradle dearie". Phew... when a child got really exhausted, anywhere and everywhere is not a prob! :)

Day 3 - Last Day

Pool No. 2

Lesson learned : Make sure u had him over his limit while playing in the pool. End of the day, he'll sleep through out on the way back!

Are U as Daring as ME?

2008-07-25T04:04:00.000-07:00

WARNING: Don't try tis IF you think is not safe to your toddler

The reason why we try tis Stunt is because we saw an 'Amoh' trying to do this to his 3yrs old son!. So, Hubby was asking my permission can he do tis to his son? Mmm... Ok lar, never try never know!

Results: He's Loving it!!!!

Clinging to his Daddy as he doesn't like the wave of the beach!

Sandy Beach

2008-07-23T08:49:00.000-07:00

I have a few posting has been parked for a week! :e
Ok, I shall start Our Holiday posting here after blogging bout the Hotel.

On the first day we arrived about 5:30pm, well there wasn't anything much we can do at tis time non other than walking on the beach side & that's when I noticed 'A Romantic Set-up' was put up.

Anyway, did my photographer session (hahaha.. like real) and helped Hubby to child minding his Son!. Adriel wasn't very cooperative to the sands!

He even stand for almost 10 minutes without moving an inch of his bare foot!! That's the Best Time I managed to snap quite a numbers of photos of him. I think, if he ever can speak he will say "Get me out of here" or "Mummy, Daddy Pls help me".

We even try to buried his feet to the ground and sprinkle some sands to both his hands to get him used to the sands but that doesn't helped much.

Some of his 'monyok' face

Preview of Hyatt, Kuantan

2008-07-22T09:01:00.000-07:00

I took some photos of the room in Hyatt, Kuantan. (Since 'Khong Fmly' will be there in August have some sneak preview of the hotel). If you are coming from KL and taking the Karak highway, pls take the Gambang Exit not Kuantan. Once you exit Gambang, continue your journey to the straight road. When you see the first traffic light beside the traffic light just turn left. Continue your journey till you reach many many traffic lights (at least 3-4 traffic lights!!). There are not any sign age of Hyatt hotel. So, to be safe just ask around. The Hyatt Hotel at Teluk Cempedak is the only hotel that stands alone. (We had hard time to make up our mind as we thought of taking the Kuantan Exit. Anyway, Must thank Elly for her guidance. Elly, Thank Goodness I have you. You are my Saviour.)

We took the 'Seaview room' which over looking the beach from our balcony (can't see the pool). There are two wing of rooms in Hyatt. (Ok, example - 1st Wing over looking the beach and the 2nd wing over looking the swimming pool and beach).

I called up the hotel to make my reservation and I requested Non-smoking room. For your info, non smoking rooms only available at 2nd Floor onwards. There are Four floors in total (including ground). The Ground floors and 1st floor are for smokers.

I also requested a King size bed as Adriel is No longer sleeping in his cot. (I wrapped up his cot 6mths ago). Having a King Size bed is a good idea as we can have more space - knowing this lil' fella of mine - tossing and turning for 360 degree.

Most of the hotel has to slide-in card or swipe card before entering the room. But this hotel has a slight different system. They are using a kind of 'touch n go' card. Keep you inform : If we loose the card, there will be a penalty to it. So be careful.

These are through my observation of the hotel:

Have been refurbished recently, with new paints (this is my second time here)
Private Beach owned by Hyatt (outsider can walk in to the compound BUT only limits for 10-20mins) as Elly advised.
It has TWO pools. First pool (with two baby pools) situated next to the Coffee house (makan area) and second pool facing the Rooms (No baby pool). - Scroll down for pic
Re-Tiling of the Pool and flooring. Even the pool umbrella and seats are relatively new.
Makan area (Food and beverages) - has many selective of food (I didn't try the food as I only bought the rooms). They even have Pub
With SPA & Gym (Dun even hv time for this)
Clean and nice ambiance (Feel very relaxing - I wish I can stay longer)

One thing for sure, you will not die of Hunger!!
If you walk out of the hotel, you will find:

Uncle KFC
Uncle Mc'D
Uncle Mamak Stall (Last time used to be a Happening cafe & Bistro)
A Famous shop selling Curry Chicken Noodles and Noodles Soup which is Halal. ( Ok lar...)
Sovenier shops if you walking towards the beach (Public beach)

If you walking towards the Public Beach you will be able to snap some pic (at the parking area where there are trees around), veranda where stalls being put up and the best is 'the Bridge'.

The Bridge only 500 meters long and has two to three rest area for you to sit or view the sea. And walking on the bridge with my lil' one really a good experience to him.

I think mine was 1st Wing

View from my Balcony
This 2nd wing will over look the swimming pool and beach.
If you gonna book this wing, Take 2nd floors onwards so you can over look the beach & pool.

'The Bridge' that I am referring..
I'm standing at one of the rest area.
Can you spot the hotel? (Red & Green roof)
So, is not far from the hotel.

I think 3D2N is too short. Of co'z I really wish for a longer vacation but having said this, Is not easy to have a smooth vacation when you bringing along kid/s. Time are limited and you tend to get lazy to explore the whole Kuantan as compared to a without kid/s vacation!

Our Road Trip on 18 Jul 08

2008-07-21T03:19:00.000-07:00

We didn't depart from home till 12noon as we got to meet up with Albert's Uncle and cousins which just arrived from Germany. Albert's uncle has a mixed marriage and he has been in Germany for almost half his life there.

While we're traveling, Adriel spotted his daddy's cap on his daddy's head. he demanded it by pointing his fingers to his daddy head. At first I was a bit unsure what he wants, but when he point at his Daddy (he was driving at that time), I knew he wants the cap!

So, I took off his daddy's cap and put on to him. He was happily and sit down quietly on his car seat.

Do U think I look smart on daddy's cap?

Nice mixture, don't u think? Still got a little bit of chinese genes

Finale Amazing Race

2008-07-16T06:51:00.000-07:00

Wah today, juz like a Finale Amazing Race to me.
Today I so 'Keng'. I managed to Killed FIVE Birds with One stone :p

First Bird
Have a hair cut at Taman Tun. I really need one as I felt, I looked so haggard. Very shitty and Ah Soh look. My last hair cut was in mid January. Didn't have a hair cut for Six mths... U can imagine how horrible I looked!

Second Bird
Meet up with Mei at The Curve as she booked me for Dinner (but she FFK our dinner) as she need to pass a set of shirt & pant to Adriel. Not only that, she also gave a pair of shoe for Adriel and a shirt to me. Many Thanks Mei, So Paiseh to accept it.

Third Bird
Pass three bottles of ampoule to Helena as she needed it for her photoshot tomolo and for wedding dinner. Wah.. another red boom coming on it's way :P

Forth Bird
Do some groceries shopping at Tesco with Mei. This round I really killed a bird. Is a bird of chicken :) for my dinner. Wat so funny was I saw they displayed a few types of Flavour Roasted Chicken. So, while I was choosing the flavour that I wanted I saw this 'Black Pepper'. What amazed me was, there are 4 small birds and one super big bird. So, I asked the 'chopper' (he will be chopping the chicken for me mah!) wat's the different between these 'Big' and 'Small' chicken? "Oh, is the same" And the price? "Olso the same" I was like puzzled for awhile.

So, I ended up choosing Black Pepper chicken but a Bigger version (Smart chopper! without me telling him which one I wan) :p kekeke Sorie no pic of this Poor chicken. I wallop oledi with Hubby... Too hungry till I hv no time for photo :P

Fifth Bird
Pass something to Jayden Boy Mama. Sasha, sorie for the super duper late gift for Jayden Boy. BTW, U gave me a good exercise... I need it though. :P (BTW, u r so so lucky man. I nearly wanna go home liou. Juz because Hubby called me Aunty cooked some extra CRABS for us that's why I turned back and bought back Birdy home. Or else I cabut liou) . BTW, Thanks for the tiles crayon. Dun dare to give to Adriel yet.. He might draw on my walls!! Than I cari U.... kekeke

*P/s: Chan's Fmly Get Well soon

After finished with all the Five Birds, I ended up stucked in a JAM. @%$^ at 8:45pm still got jam?? Thank goodness I smart :) I make a U-turn and get out fr it .. Phew :)

Moral of the story:
Due to FUEL increased... must know how to utilize it to the fullest :P
Book everyone in one place and distribute it accordingly...... kekekeke

*Mei, Helena & Sasha - sorie called u Gals as 'Bird' But U gals are "Pretty Cute Bird" :P

My Mission Accomplished. My First ever Amazing race with Birds...

Adriel @ Work

2008-07-11T04:36:00.000-07:00

Another hard day for Adriel.
Poor Boy, he has to work so hard to feed both Mummy & Daddy.

LEGO Clearance at Toys R' us in KLCC

2008-07-10T06:29:00.000-07:00

Ok, this post is Especially for my Sibu fren, Mery as she wanted to know what I bought for Adriel.

I remembered when I was young, I do not have any chance to play Lego. I guess Lego are mainly for Boys and getting a set of Lego will cost a boom. I had a cousin bro that loves Lego and I tell myself I will make sure to get some for my son :)

Received an email from Toys R' Us as they are having LEGO Clearance in KLCC. I was quite excited about this sale as you will hardly find Lego on discount up to 50%.

So, I went to Toys R' Us during lunch hours. Yah, I sacrificed my lunch just for this sale. When I was there, I saw many Mummies, Daddies, Lady & Man surrounded the Lego Section. My aimed was for 50% off. To be frank, not many 50% but more on 30%. I guess that are their marketing tactics on their email advertisement.

Anyway, I managed to get One Duplo and one Lego box. Duplo is for the ages of 2-5 yrs old and as for Lego is from 6-12yrs old.

I was so kiasu.. as Adriel has another 4.5yrs to reach 6yrs old!

This is at 50% - Normal Price RM269.90

This is at 50% - Normal Price RM169.90

These two sets are at 30%
Top Box for Adriel's cousin sis
Bottom box for Mummy's fren kid

(**Left out tis part when I saw the Comments fr my Frens!)
Ok, These pics below are for Pei Mun.. Kekeke.. I can't afford to buy Sooo many Lego!!

Ok all these are at 30%
Normal Price RM157.90
Normal Price RM129.90Normal Price RM369.00

Avillion Farm

2008-07-08T06:06:00.000-07:00

After Daddy sent me down to work, Both Father and Son was having their fun time at the hotel farm. Frankly speaking, I dun even know there was a Farm area at the Avillion itself. I dun have the time to check it myself. Sigh! (Daddy did all the survey, each corner of the hotel on the second day)

Anyway, I am glad both of them have a great time together. And the Best of all, Daddy FINALLY took the camera and snap some great pics (not very good angle BUT acceptable) of Adriel with Bunny. I really felt bad that I didn't accompanied them :(

Is ok, my next holiday trip will be at Kuantan in less than 2 weeks... Yahoooooo

On the Bed at Avillion Resort

2008-07-07T04:34:00.000-07:00

Hey! dun get me wrong what we did on the bed!!!!!! Do u think I will ever tell U??

Ok, yesterday both me and Hubby was so uneasy as we really felt Cruel as we didn't bring Adriel along. Since we have a nice room 'Why don't we bring Adriel over?' This is what we have been discussing the whole nite!!

"We actually sneak out from Adriel when as we passed Adriel over to my sis while he was playing at the Park at 9.30pm. My sis will help me to hand over Adriel to Aunty at 10.30pm after she's back from a relative wedding dinner."

So, after our guiltiness We decided to drive up to KL to bring Adriel down. Yes, Our decision is to bring him down so he can have his first experience walking on the sands.

Before reaching home, I gave Aunty a call that I will be collecting Adriel while Daddy will be busy packing Adriel's stuff.

As usual, when I reached the Aunty's hse Adriel was happily taking his shoes out to go home. So, after packing all the necessary stuff (in fact I over packed his stuff!!) without wasting time, we make our way back to PD.

We reached PD at 10pm and the journey only took us 1 hour and 15 mins.

When we reached Avillion, Adriel was so overly excited. Maybe this was his FIRST out trip and with new environment. He was actually hooked up with the Floor lamp and tried to boxing wit it! *Faint*. I was so worried he will actual break the Lamp and me has to end up paying for it.

After forbidden him from playing the floor lamp, the next thing was running around the toilet and room, crawling under the bed and exploring the cabinet under the TV - Glasses and mini fridge! Gosh.. Not an easy task, As expected!

So the only solution is putting him on the bed and let him do whatever he wants - which is a bit hard to retain him for long!.

Avillion Resort @ Port Dickson

2008-07-06T02:49:00.000-07:00

Yes, I will be traveling tonight to Avillion Resort as I need to be at work tomoro.

Anyway, will be in PD till Tuesday as I need to finish up my work and drive back to KL. Sigh! This means, I can't enjoy my trip to PD. Sigh! Wat a waste. Staying in a beautiful resort but can't enjoy it. Sigh!

But thank goodness, Hubby promised to drive me down and accompany me for two days. He will become my official chauffeur (as always) and his reward will be ...*drum roll* Get to Relax in a beautiful resort without ME.

The room I was booked was 'Garden Resort' costing RM320++/nite. And this are their CHEAPEST room! Of coz they have better rooms 'Seaview' and 'Honeymoon rooms' but this definitely will cost a Boom. Anyway I am more than happy to stay at this room.

Ok... here is the overview of Avilion Garden

Left Door: Shower room
Right Door: WC room
Middle: Oh La La .. Bath Tub

King Size Bed with a Single Rest area at the corner
Which means can accomodate at least 3 persons in a room

View from another corner

Now, I really think I need a BREAK from work.
I NEED A HOLIDAY

The other saviour of mine

2008-07-04T03:15:00.000-07:00

Managed to contact HP, can't fix it thru phone as the CPU can't restart. So, make appointment with them to come over to fix my problem as my Desktop computer is still under warranty. Apparently is a 3 yrs warranty. Thank Goodness 3 yrs.. So every now and then if got problem can get it fix before expiry. Pheww..

As for Notebook.... No lar.. Way too long oledi. Bought few yrs back so definitely no warranty.

HP authorised person will come over to fix my PC tis Friday and at the same time Hubby called his buddy to fix the Notebook..

I am praying hard now. Please, please I need my Notebook more. I'm goin to Port Dickson tis Sunday for work and I needed it..

Hope my Notebook & Desktop can be fix by than.

Bye Bye...

2008-06-30T02:31:00.000-07:00

Sorie, U hardly see me online lately.

On Saturday, my desktop CPU decided to wave bye bye to me.. Yes unintentionally.

It was weird. I was actually searching for a recipe. I was about to cook 'Homemade Chicken Rice' as Hubby wanted to eat Chicken rice and due to save cost (everything goes up must save every penny that we have now) so I decided to make my very own.

Actually I did cooked before - a few mths back. But I was worried that all my ingredients will not be right so I decided to surf the net to get the correct ingredient and right steps.

While surfing, suddenly my CPU went Pooooofff - wah like a magic off by itself. I was puzzled. Would it be my cable connections?? As my Monitor LED light is still on not CPU. So did some checking... No plug was ok and the back connection of the CPU seems ok. Sei lor.... How ler??? This is the only Computer I can use ler.

U must be wondering where is My Notebook?? Ai yah.. few weeks back my Notebook encounter some internet connections problem as well. Called up the Helpline from my Modem company and they managed to rectify the problem. Pheww...

Than few days later, I can see my Notebook was connected but not the Streamyx line. So I ended up using the Desktop and ignore my Notebook. I'm not Computer Savvy mah.. and I also done all I can to troubleshoot, but noting seems working. So, I just push it aside.

Now, BOTH of the computers wave Goodbye to me. Sigh!!!!!

U r my saviour to my Blog

2008-06-26T03:14:00.000-07:00

I Got the answer, I got the answer... Phewwww...
Wat a relief man.

Many Thanks to 'The Widgets of Beta Blogger'

I had removed all my sidebars and now I got to key in one-by-one... Sigh
I found my error by following his/her help - in 'red'.

Ok, if you ever encounter this, here are the possibility

Answered from 'The Widgets of Beta Blogger':

Why Sidebars keep falling down

Suddenly one fine day you view your blog in browser and find the sidebar column below your posts column. What is the reason for this?

What is the cure for the fallen sidebar.....

Here are the reasons why your sidebar falls down :

1. You have uploaded an image to your post. The width of the image is larger than the width of the posts column.

2. You have put an unusually large URL in your posts instead of using anchor text.

3. You have altered the template code and inadvertently failed to close a tag.

How to diagnose the problem?

1. Look for unusually large width pictures in your blog. Remove them and see if the sidebar rises to the top.

2. Remove any large URL or link.

3. Click on post title to open the post page. If the sidebar has fallen down on the post page then the cause is in that post.

4. If you do not see any large images or URLs in the post page with the fallen sidebar and it is down in ALL post pages then the cause is in the template.

What is the treatment?

1. Remove large images.

2. Convert large URLs into shorter ones using linking text.

3. Load a fluid width "STRETCH" template.

4. View Blog with Internet Explorer 7.

Hope this will help you to solved the problems.

HELP.... Wat's wrong wit my BLOG??

2008-06-25T01:21:00.000-07:00

Can someone kind enuf to tell me wat's wrong with my blog layout???

It seems that my sidebars are missing and it gone to the bottom of my of myblog under all my entries. Tried to removed the links, blogs rolls and et cetera... ends up the same..

But if I view my entry individual it looks fine.

Tis is really frustrating. Arrrrghhhhhh

A usual weekend as we dun really goes out on weekends unless somewhere near to our house. As hubby does not like to fight for a parking or jammed up in the shopping complexes nor covered with people around. One more good reason is since Fuel increased, we better stay at home!.

I noticed lately Adriel has been copying us. Either in speech or action.

I saw him taking his Ikea stool from the usual place and placed it around the house - In and Out (From Balcony to the other end of the house).

Someone is learning real fast. This was happened on 8th June' 08

And ONE WEEK later, 15 June' 08 .....
Yup, what's in his hand?

I was very amazed from his last week action - taking the stool over the door. And this week something add on to his 'to do list'.

I was laughing away when seeing him trying so hard to open the door handle. Where on earth he learned this from? Must be thru observation lar!

Part-time? Wanna work part-time?

2008-06-16T06:29:00.000-07:00

Went to Jusco, Metro Prima as I needed to buy some 'Chu Yoke Kon aka Daging Salai aka Dried Meat' for a lady which I have been dealing with her thru phone since Nov' 07 (after my work has been reshuffle). And I'm goin off to JB tomoro for two days and I have planned to see her face-to-face as we always talks thru the phone.

Now, I am handling more on Property including liase with Agent/Landlord. We have two officer in JB as an Instructor for M'sian Army camp. Err.. not gonna talk bout work here.

Anyway, my purposes of this post is not about work!! ...... After I bought two packets of dried meat we're loafing around since we are here, mind as well walk wit the lil' one since parking is free.

While walking, I suddenly wanna show Hubby the place that I bought Adriel for his first trial class - Tumble Tots. Adriel was so excited as he kept on knocking the glass door tok tok tok... ADRIELLL.... (Anyway, It was closed). I think he can remembered this place as he was trying to take off his shoe!.

As I was peeping thru the transparent glass, I saw this advertisement pasted on the glass door.

Weekend Part-time Teacher

Requirements:

Speaks English
Love childrens
And dunno wat and wat...

So, I asked Hubby:

Me: Hey, there's a job vacancy ler. Weekend job wor.
Hubby: Oh, izzit
Me: Yah... somemore weekends can do part-time job, since times are bad
Hubby: Mmm... you call and see lar
Me: Ok Ok..

Few minutes later

Me: Is that means I got to work and you got to take care of Adriel???
Hubby: Huh!!!... like that ah.. You better dun work
Me: Cilaka...

Still thinking of it... Wrote down the number. Will give them a call. Maybe I can learned a few tricks and apply to Adriel! Win-win situation mah.

My eldest sis, has many cats. Yes, many many cats. Not gonna tell u how many. But MANY. My sis is a CATS LOVER!

So, I decided to kidnapped one of her Many many cats.

I just loves to play with animals but not as a pet co'z I allergy to furs! I will sneeze non-stop if the furs get into my nose.

When I opened her room, I only saw one that I can easily attack and the rest was running away from me - Hiding underneath the bed or on top of the cupboard. Try to dragged one out, but most of the cats try to runaway from me As if I'm the Monster!

Adriel was beside me. The best part of him was he kept on peeping underneath the bed with his bum bum on the air! And he keep on pointing at the cats and said Oh, Oh, Oh

When my sis saw me 'kidnapping' her cat, and said "Tis wan not so nice, let me get u a better wan" wuak wuak wuak...

Can u see how Friendly is Adriel to the cat?

I'm Buzy Blogging too...

2008-06-14T13:30:00.000-07:00

After Adriel woke up from his evening nap after 3hrs, (Hehehe... I guess he was too exhausted from his Class & Mummies gathering) Adriel came over to me (heard the bells from his anklet) while I was surfing the net.

"Ok Adriel, what do you want?" he was pointing his fingers at my laptop and some sound came out from his mouth ... Oh Oh Oh. Ok, Ok You want Mummy to lift you up and sit on my lap. So, I did as instructed. Adriel will always kenot 'tahan' me when I'm surfing the net. (That's the other reason why I can't finished my post on time!)

After 3mins, I put him down and decided to cook something for dinner, is already 7:30pm!

Put Adriel down and I went straight to the kitchen. While preparing for our meal, I noticed that there wasn't any sound come out from the living and dining area...Mmm... where does my Monster be? I was suddenly get panicky... OMG... *praying* pls nothing happened to Adriel.

Search around.... than I finally found him.. Phew... Caught him red handed with tis!!
And quickly grabbed my camera - evidence.

Ok, Let me introduce you, the youngest blogger (As far as I know)

We had a new Kid on the BLOG.
He is 17++mths and he has master it from his Mummy!

Enjoying watching himself! And watching video clip of his class today

Finally.. Adriel is goin for Class

2008-06-14T01:22:00.000-07:00

Yup, I have decided to put Adriel to Kindermusik Class instead of Tumble Tots. As I can have more confidence towards Kindermusik.

The reasons was:
1. The Teacher (Ms Cheryl) speaks Good English
2. She is now studying Montessori courses on her owned (means she is qualified)
3. She seems lovable by all kids

Here is Adriel 2nd Class. I think he is more settled down compared to his 1st class. BUT one thing never changed - impatient in him!! He kenot wait for his turn or else he will start making noise or even wailing till he gets it! *Faint*

Only took one video clip of him playing with instrument

MP gathering

2008-06-14T01:14:00.000-07:00

After Adriel attended his class, We rushed over to One 'U' for a meet up that have been organised by the MP Mummies. The gathering starts at 2pm at Kids Sports & Gym (Old Wing of '1' U) but we only be reaching at 3++pm after Adriel's class.

When we're there (Daddy dropped us off while he looks for parking), I couldn't find any mummies. Yes, at first it was quite disappointing as I thought the Mummies will be hanging around longer. (And also Hubby will be giving me a 'Hokkien mee' if he found out that the Mummies are not here, as we came all the way just to meet up with the Mummies).

After walking around, I decided to called Joanne Tiew. Jo, also left early as Sarah has fallen asleep & she also mentioned that most Mummies has left as well. Ai yah.. I thought at least I can see Jo for the first time co'z we only chat thru Msn or Blog. Today just Not my day lar..

So, I did my last round at the Kids & Sport Gym before I really called it off. I came around Three ladies outside. But i wasn't sure are they Mummies as they really look young. So, Me being 'thick skin' decided to go over and asked 'Are all of U MP Mummies?' And one of the mummies said Yes. Hehehe... after all I wasn't so unlucky of the day!.

Glad to met up at least a few Mummies - better than none.

Not too long after I left the group (as Hubby need to get ready for Futsal), I received an sms from Kristie - she is coming as well (at that time I was having my lunch).

Kristie is first time Mama and I can feel she is so excited bout her coming soon baby. She is so diligently compiling information from all the Mummies in the MP Forum.

Hey Kris, If u r reading tis - Stay Cool U will b e alright. Everything will be fine. All you need to do is Relax and enjoyed your 3rd Trimester. If you need any advise do give us a buzz.

So, after the meet up we left about 4.45pm as Hubby is keep on yakking at me - 'I wan to have my Futsal...' Ok, ok... we got to chow lor.. Can't even have shopping! Aik!

Reached home, put my lil one to Dreamland.. I guess he also have enuf oledi!

Some Pics with the Gals.

I'm so Paiseh to snap pic with young Mummies.
Gosh.. I felt so old liou in tis Pic!

Me with My Lego

2008-06-12T09:10:00.000-07:00

**Backdated post on 28 May' 08**

Ok, I saved a numbers of draft post. Hopefully can do it either tonight or weekend. I'm trying to catch up oledi!

I noticed tis Boy of mine is an impatient kid. He'll very easily give up without trying hard.

See how he played with his Lego. Do you think he try hard enuf? Haa.. That's the kind of look he will give me, if he failed!

Mmm... Who's genes he followed??
Ok, let put the blame to his Daddy! Kekeke

My Second Class

2008-06-11T04:43:00.000-07:00

Ok, this is the other bird that he killed!
The same day as Kindermusik at 1pm and Tumble Tots at 5pm. So stressful hor! What to do both classes is coincide but thank goodness different time!

He managed to catch up some sleeps before going for this class. Phew... or else he will get cranky!

We took Adriel to Tumble Tots for first trial class today. By the way, the trial class is not FOC, I got to pay RM25 for 45 minutes.. Yah see this is what I called making money job. Well, if we decided Adriel to take up the programme, they will off set the RM25 with this fee.

The programme was something difference from what I thought it was. The whole area was converted into a play station which like a gym activities and quarter of it was their work station cum registration desk.

The activities includes walking & balancing on a narrow planks, balancing, climb on top of the ladder, crawling into the tunnel and many more. It actually a series of activities wheres kids are guided by the teacher to complete one activity before moving to another and this must be in a anti-clock wise movement so each kids will not stationed at one activity. Once the kid has completed the first activity he/she will need to move on to the other so the next kid will has a chance to do the next activity. This session has three teacher to help up the kids to do the activities.

But knowing this Monster of mine, he will not listened to instructions. He was running around here and there - As expected lar! So poor me ler, have to start chasing after him for 45 minutes.

Than after playing for 30 mins, Is time for everyone to sit in a circle. They have this session where 'a mystery box' or 'Pandora box' where you wouldn't know wat was inside the box. The teacher said every kids will normally will sit down quietly waiting for this box to be opened.

Once the box was opened, the teacher will pass the things inside the box to the kids. By the way, it was a Oval shape (like an egg) with an eyes and mouth drawn on it. So, each kids will get two each. Than the teachers will start singing Tumble Tots theme song and do some stretching activities.

Than, they took out the Tumble Tots Girl mascot and had another singing session. Hahaha... tis Monster of mine quickly grabbed the soft toy from the teacher!!. I was like speechless and trying to pull it back from him. He started wailing... and the teacher said is ok and try to swing him together with the Tumble Tot soft toy. He was laughing while being swing!

When the session was over, the teacher will gave each kids a sticker to be pasted on their shirt. I paste it on his back of his shirt!! Co'z I know he will be pulling the sticker away.

When all the kids has left, I decided to have a chat with one of the teacher about my question on to register him or not to theirs programmes. Of co'z they said I shd lar... Duh!

So, Am I signing up for the course or not ler???

Video 1 - Climbing

Video 2 - Crawling thru the tunnel

Video 3 - TT Girl Mascot

Video 4 - Rebounder (Now only I know tis thing called rebounder!!)

(Tis is a much more nicer clothes & pic hor. NO more Ah Pek look!)

My First Class

2008-06-11T03:57:00.000-07:00

Ok, you will be seeing more backdated post as I am trying to finished up my old & as the same time new write-ups.. Stay tuned!

*Backdated post 31 May' 08**

Adriel today killed two bird with one stone.

As you already know from my previous blog on my search for the right programme for my Adriel Boy, as I feel he has been learning things quite fast for the past 2 months.

As a working mum, my time are very limited. I know is an excuse. Yes, I must admit, I'm lazy to teach him every night as I know he will not be a good concentrator!. At the same time, I wan Adriel to learn more things so he can understands what we are trying to say and kids is at their peak when they are young! I think. For the past 2mths, I can see Adriel is trying to imitate us when we are doing something every now and than.

Well, U must be thinking what the Hell is thing mummy has been thinking?? Bring a 17mths old kids for lesson??? You must be kidding or has too much money and dunno where to spend! Your Question and Answer are partly correct. YES, I may sound Crazy to bring a 17mths old for classes. NO, I'm not rich nor too much money in my bank.

I was like some of YOU. I am a little bit skeptical initially on this as I felt like I was being a total FREAK KIASU MOM. (In Hokkien: Scared to lose) But after considering myself as a looser in educating Adriel, I thought it would be fun to put him into a class orientated. At least someone can discipline him and he got to know some frens around his age.

Ok, there will be two choices place I had did my research on. One will be in Kindermuzik at Desa Park City relatively near to our house. And the second option will be at Tumble Tots in Metro Prima, Kepong.

I got to know Kindermuzik when they newly opened in January' 08. But never take any initiative till lately. In fact, they have kids who went to their classes from the age of 3mths.. Yes, U read it correctly - 3 Mths.... hahahaha... See I wasn't so Kiasu afterall.

Apparently Kindermuzik timing wasn't suitable for my Adriel. It start at 11am... That would be his napping time lar.. So, is a No No. They always have a BUT!!! They suggested me to join 18mths age group since Adriel is not too far. I did asked for trial class.. I'm cheapskate mah.. Hey naturally I wan to try on the class before entering Adriel rite? As I will need to fork out 3 mths fees before he can enroll for this class.

The class consist of 5-6 kids with one accompanied parent. This round the class is a bit crowded as it was during school holidays and some cheh cheh or Koh Koh accompanied their lil' sis. Adriel was the youngest in the group. But that doesn't stop him from joining the others. Adriel has no fear at all mixing with the kids. In fact, he dare to pull things from the teacher!!! *Faint*

**Sorie for the 'Ah Pek' look shirt. I was too lazy to change him after collected him fr Aunty's hse!

And also Thanks to Hubby, he forget to bring the camera. So got to take it fr my Camera phone.

Video 1 - Before the Class starts (warm up session)

Video 2 - Cheh Cheh can play so well. She is 20++mths

Video 3 - He was very impatient to play!!

Video 4 - Every kids is trying to imitate an animal

Video 5 - He was grounded by Us as he was making lots of noise and trying to run around!

I'M FRUSFRATED

2008-06-10T08:25:00.000-07:00

Sigh.. I know has not been posting much.

Wat to do .... Fuel increased from RM1.92 to RM2.70 and Electricity also will be increasing soon *Cilaka*

This MUST be the reason why I stop blogging now!!!!!. :e

I'm so depressed. I really HATE the Government decision of the Fuel hikes. Is the first time the fuel increased so damn high at 78cents (mind my language). I thot we are the oil producer which we should be having cheaper rate of fuel, but WE are very WRONG!! Than,,, where does all our oil gone to??? Do u really think we get subsidized from the Govt?? Or the Rakyat is subsidizing the govt yo get pay raised and retirement benefits.. Than this make sense lar!

Before the Government make the decision to increase the fuel, have they ever think about people with middle and lower income feelings. Moreover, if you Government can give us a better transport system, we don't mind at all to take the train or buses to commute to work.

Look at our wonderful Transport system. From four lanes become two lanes. How on earth we can rely on Bus when we frequently hear bus accident happened now and than?

Sometimes I do take commuter to work. I should said, our commuter is one of the UNRELIABLE transport in terms of timing. You will never ever get them on-the-dot or on time at all. I remembered waiting for almost 30-45minutes for a commuter and on top of that I was trapped for almost an hour inside the train because of mechanical fault!! #@$#

And if you ever wanted for a refund you have to go through 'merry-go-round' just to get back your RM1.30 - Forget it!! I have no time for this I have better things to do!.

The BIG reason why every Malaysian GOT to have a car because you as the Government does not give us any reliability and driving to work is faster than taking public transport. Yes, it would cost us more but at least we can sit down without sweating or even get molested.

Moreover, We do not get discounted fare if we use the Touch-and-Go card not like Singapore. I tell you, I really salute Singapore's transport system. Nothing can compared to them. Malaysia always has this system called NATO - NO ACTION TALK ONLY.

This is the End of my frustration!

"I was very happy with the results of the Election on 8 March' 08. Everyone seems to anti the government. I know, no doubt the government didn't get much seats in the Parliment, the Govt still has the LOUDER voice as they are ruler of this country. But at least the Rakyat stands for their rights. (I will make sure I will Register myself for the next election!! - If I didn't pls give me a GOOD slap on my face)"

MEEE....

2008-06-04T07:17:00.000-07:00

Long time never put 9 pics in 1. Ok, this was taken while he busy eating his tidbits while watching TV. See, see he dun wan to look at me!! Instead stick to his best fren ~ tv.

Can you keep a secret?

2008-05-30T01:31:00.000-07:00

Have you happened to read any of the book about Shopaholic by Sophie Kinsella? I think I'd followed her footsteps!

Since I already confessed myself earlier on the nebuliser, I think I also should tell you some of my spending secrets…Ha… do I get your attention??? I have lots of stuff to confess on my spending. (Shhh... Even My hubby dunno some of my spending)

So, Can you keep a S-E-C-R-E-T?

ok, here are the lists of what I'd already been spending from January’ 08 till current month - what I can remembered. Gosh, I know I spent a lot. But sometimes I just can’t control over it. Is like a Must buy thing! Ok let’s do it by each months.

Jan’ 08

Bought an Osim exerciser for Hubby. Hardly use because most of the time, my lil’ monster will want to follow us to shake his bum bum. If we let him do it, we worried we will trapped his toes or fingers. Sounds scary, so better not on it!

Reasons:

I can use as well
A a gift for X’mas – for last yr lar
Our Anniversary
Maybe for Valentine as well

Damages: A hole to my wallet at RM2, 300.

Feb’ 08

Didn’t spent much on this month. Maybe I did for Chinese New Year stuff but dun think i spent alot…And MIL passed away so this whole month I'm so ‘kwai’ (good).

Lost of a beloved MIL

End of February' 08

I nearly forgotten about this one!! (Wah tis one can make many, many tin of formula for Adriel or facial for me).

I bought a Tag Heuer watch for Hubby. As he wanted it very much. Ok, this will be his Father’s Day & B’day present – June & July. Bought earlier coz gets a special discount or else dun think I will ever buy.

Damages: Wah! this one very ‘jia lut’ and ‘siong’

March’ 08

Bought a stack of milk supplements for Adriel for stock up as I heaerd from supplier, milk formula will be increasing. Another reason is Election is on this month!! Kekekeke

Damages: The most expensive formula I ever invested. Over RM1, 000

April’ 08

I always wanna to have a rejuvenate session for myself. Loving myself is what I shd be doing, dun u think so? Or else who will be giving it to me?

So, I bought 10 session of SPA treatment for myself. I guess I listened too much of Mariah Carey song which keep on spinning on my head ‘Love my Body’!! Till today, I haven’t try it on. Scared they will forced me to sign up even more or buy product!. But I dun think they are as aggressive as Facial Salon!

Moreover, this package considered cheap as compared to the rest. So, I give it a try!

Damages: Cost me RM1, 380 poorer

May’ 08

I thought this month I can save some money since my debts are pay off and no more things that interest me. Ai yah, I was wrong. My facial treatment was running low. Only left One more session to go.. Cilaka!!!

So, I decided to scout around for Beauty Salon that must be near to my area. The current one, I think the price is over priced. And I think I need a change of the Beauty Saloon.

My Current Beauty Salon is mixture of product from Sothys (more higher range) ,Cellnique Pronounced as Cell Nic (slightly cheaper but still considered expensive) and some different ‘No brand’ of product I Think !! They are charging me RM188 per session…which is a bit pricey. That’s why I’m opening my door to different saloon surrounding my area.

My current beauty saloon, I should say, they have a very nice ambiance but with the price and not specialise in one product that’s the reason why I dun really wan to be loyal to them. Of, co’z every time after the facial, they will tend to have this trick. As you to sit down, explain to you about your face condition (As if I dunno my own face!) and ding ding dong dong, and the end results ‘U shd buy this and this and this’. Your skin very dry so u shd use this hydrating this and that so you won’t get any dryness…. Bla bla bla. And the list goes on and on!

I finally found a new Beauty Saloon which was just newly opened. I did some enquiry and I finally put my hands down and signed up!! So easily get tempted by the beautician sweet talk.

Anyway, I needed one. So I got to have it. This beauty saloon only uses their product. Hope my skins suits well to their facial product!! Finger crossed.

They are having promotion which I have to buy RM1, 388 voucher (yes, very nice no. Can by 4 digits). These voucher consist of :

10 x voucher of RM100 each (Can contra off with facial treatment/product)
6 x voucher of RM30 each – body scrub
1 x facial (using Gold patches)
1 x gamma facial (dun ask me wat is this, I also dunno!)

Ha…There have CATCHES – ‘Mou Kem Tai Koh Kam Nah Chui Kai Tiew’. Out of the RM1K facial voucher, U can purchase for facial package. Most of the packages are ranging from RM188 onwards. Not goanna discuss more about this. I can go on non stop.

Damages: Another RM1, 388 poorer

Mid of May’ 08

I’m also looking at enrolling Adriel to programmes that cater for his age. I have been looking around near my house. I found two that suitable for him. I tell you, If I ever wanna to make money I should have started learning Montessori, They are making money from us. Just for Adriel age, it can cost us easily RM450 for 3++mths. Gosh.. I wan to be a teacher.. Next time will ask my kids to do teaching; even school teacher is making money nowdays – by giving tuition (some more tax free)!

The one very near to our hse is Little Einstein which 5 minutes away (by car) and the other one is Tumble Tots which can take 10-15 minutes if there is a jam. Will be going for a trial run tis coming Saturday for both centres. Yes, coincident they only have classes for Adriel’s age on Saturday on different timing.

Reasons: I realized Adriel is starting to learn new things now. Since, I'm not a good Mother to sit and teach him everyday, I should let him learn from someone.

Ok ok, the end of January to May saga. Will update you my next things to shop in my list! So, will you able to spot what I am goin to spend in June!!

Die.. After typing each month of my spending, I realized I really spent a lot ler!!!U Think I should control over my spending limits!

Reminder: Can U Keep a Secret?????

A reason to celebrate

2008-05-28T20:42:00.000-07:00

Since Adriel has his flu attacked so frequent - actually not really that frequent but I thought is good to have one nebuliser at home :p. Another good reason for me to shop ~ what a lame excuse!

Actually I should blame my sis hor... kekekeke. She is the one asking me where to get cheap milk formula. I didn't really wanted to buy till I went to my routine pharmacy to check out the milk formula for her. (That's where I normally get Adriel's formula)

So while browsing thru the milk formula, I decided to get itchy. I asked for a Nebulizer. The Pharmacist recommended me the one that she is selling. It cost me RM300 - not discounted yet.

Q: What makes me wanna buy?
Well the reason for me to get a nebuliser because Collin (the twins) has been attacked by virus that caused him having difficulty to breathing which leads him to be hospitalized for a week. And this virus will be very contagious which will infect to other kids who has low immune system. My sis prohibited me (especially Adriel) to visit the twins in the hospital but I insist.

I remembered I went to visit the twins during MP gathering ~ 5th Apr' 08. After the gathering, I went off straight to Damansara Specialist to checked out the twins.

Collin was hospitalised as he diagnosed with very dangerous level. And as for Nicholas he only need to take the nebuliser during the morning and night session. When I was there, Collin was screaming his lungs off puffing the nebuliser. And after Collin, it was Nicholas turns.

I can tell u, at that time I can feel how hard sick to see both twins screaming out loud. Can you imagine how the parents feels? I think 100 times or even more ~ hard sickening of them.

To cut the story short, I thought of buying a Nebulizer. At least either my sis kids or Adriel can use it on the spot without waiting for the clinic to be open. (Touch wood - of coz I dun wan this thing happen) . And the attack normally will happen during the nighttime when kids goes to bed.

Calculation
Each session to the clinic will easily cost me RM70++ for a visit to the Paed. Which includes Consultation, Medication & Nebuliser. Any subsequent Nebuliser will cost me RM20.

Adriel has been having Nebuliser for Three times in total. Which means I can easily get a Nebuliser by now!

Who can benefit
Kids and adult can use Nebuliser if they are having difficulty in breathing. You can say it something like those having Asthma, they need to get inhaler to get quick relieve.

As for Albert, he will very easily get running nose whenever he seep the floor. His nose is super duper sensitive to dust which I really hope Nebuliser can be his solution.

Research
Did my research thru the net on the brand that the Pharmacist recommended. I just wanna to gather more info before I commit myself for this.

Conclusion
Yes or No????

This is how the Nebuliser look like. So cute right?
It actually reminds me of something but I can't think of wat it's!

Flu attacked again!

2008-05-26T09:28:00.000-07:00

Adriel has fallen to running nose attacked again. I had the feeling it will be same as the last time he has his flu.

I guess, it was my fault. It has been raining/drizzling every afternoon or evening, and I still bought him out. Tis round we went to Yie Yie's house.

Daddy thought Adriel need to have a walk, so he bought Adriel for a long walk. Where the 18 holes golf was just at the back of Yie Yie's hse.

He came home with sweat on his shirt and hair. And I didn't change him, instead let him run around the hse!

On the way home, he was sitting in his car seat, I can see he's having running nose. Keep on rubbing his nose and I can see he is having difficulty to breath due to mucus dripping down.

When we reached home, I quickly applied Vicks (for kids) to him. He rubbed even more. So, is a waste to put but I have to just wanna make him feel better.

I quickly changed his shirt to long shirt & pant and tried to let him has his dinner. He didn't managed to eat much as his stuffy nose seems to irritate him.

He decided to let go his half-portion dinner. It was ok with me as I know you I'll tend to have no appetite when I get stuff nose - tasteless.

Before letting Adriel to bed, I gave Adriel 6 oz of milk. He drank his milk finished. He still insist to goes to bed. So, I scolded him and whacked him. Yes, I did.

He cried and not too long - wuak.... Vomited - Thank Goodness not much.
And this lil fella was angry with me and he decided to walk out the room and look for his Daddy!!

Daddy tried to pampered him and managed to cool him down. Whenever he saw me, he'll try to give me 'the crying look'! co'z he remembered I whacked him!

Later, Daddy managed to put him to sleep.

At 2am++, out of sudden he was crying. Me with the Blur face suddenly felt really reckless as I can sense he is having difficulty in breathing. I had the feeling he has a blocked airway passage.

Daddy has carrying him and try to rock him to sleep but in vain. He even tried to walk around the hse or put him to sarong cradle, so he can stop crying - Failed.

After an hour, I asked Daddy to put him to his sarong cradle again - Of co'z he still cries. So I decided to give him water. I forgotten that he likes to drink - anything eg. water, milk. When I let him suck his bottle, he immediately quiet. Phewww.. At least we can have a good nite sleep again. He than went to Zzzz.

Me slept in a separate room. Daddy decided to take care of him.

Not too long, about every 1/2hr, Adriel starts crying again. Which leads all of us a sleepless night! Well, as I said, Is not easy to have a good sleep when you have a blocked nose.

At 7am++, Adriel started to settled down. He managed to sleep for a bit longer. But than, I got to get ready to work! So, I decided to call up office that I will be coming to work late as I need to bring Adriel to visit the Doc.

I got the feeling Adriel will end up having nebulizer again as I can hear some wheezing sounds coming from his chest.

We only managed to get to see the Doc at 10.30am as there are 10 person in front of us even though I did a phone appointment. Yup, Doc Chin Clinic normally are full with patience. (Doc Chin is MP Panel Expert).

Again, Adriel start crying when he saw Dr Chin. He must be getting nightmares when he see Doc Chin! Cry and cry and cry... finally doc said - he needs a nebulizer ~ as expected! While Doc checking on his records, Adriel actually has his last nebulizer two months back.

Ok this round, he only cried initial for 2-3 minutes. Must be no more tears as he already cried the whole nite! Poor Boy.

After having his nebulizer, Doc came over and checked on his chest. Adriel start wailing!...
Doc said Adriel need to come back to night to have another nebulizer so he can have a deep sleep during the night. @%@#% another cost!

His bill is the same as last last two mths - four types of medication ~ flu, cough, airway & fewer. Total bill RM73.00 and if we are coming tonight for nebulizer, it will cost RM20 just for the suction.

I was discussion with Albert, we will see what will happen tonight. Maybe he does not need another one.

So after visiting the Doc, I straight bring Adriel to Aunty about 11am. I told Aunty that I only fed Adriel less than 2 oz as I worried Adriel will vomit again.

Not too long when I reached office, I gave Aunty a call to check out of him. Aunty fed Adriel 6oz and he vomited most of it. And he also went into deep sleep ~ must be too tired and after the nebulizer he will normally have a good sleep (opened airway).

After having a good sleep, Aunty said Adriel started to have his routine back to normal!. Pushing the furnitures and playing around. Which is a good sign.. Phewww.

When I collect Adriel, Aunty told me he only drank milk the whole day. Nothing solid were introduced to him as he doesn't have a good appetite.

Earlier I went to Pasar Malam to get him some chinese style cupcakes... Hahaha, You must be wondering what is that. Is actually made of eggs, flour and etc (sorie dun really knows the ingredients) but in chinese it calls "Kai Tan Koh" or Egg cake. But this Egg cake was presented in a style of cupcake. It has the softest texture I ever had. Even myself enjoyed it very much.

He ate the cupcakes - at least he get to eat something nice! I just wanna boost up his appetite.

And at the same time me and Albert was wandering should we go or not to see the Doc???? After much of consideration, we said NO. Adriel is a strong boy he will be able to fight with the virus.
But he still will goes on with his medication.

At night, I managed to let him to drank his 6 oz of milk - finished. And he straight when to bed. Yes, he has a good night sleep through out.

That's the story of a Poor Boy having his Flu virus... and sorry for the long post!

Homemade Swing

2008-05-24T08:37:00.000-07:00

Lately it has been raining in the evening. If not, Adriel has been waking up quite late in his evening nap which is too late to go the playground or Park.

Since, Adriel does not have a chance to the Playground or Park, Daddy has invented a 'Homemade Swing' for Adriel.

Well, this swing does not cost alot and it considered very safe - depending how you handling it.

Here's What you need to make a Homemade Swing

Ok, here's Adriel's Favorite ads that he will loves to watch every time showed on air. It will normally show during peak hrs on WLT (Astro-Chinese Channel) at 2115 (roughly time).
I tried to video the ads, but not cleared. So ended up searching on the web. Voila... got it.

HOT HOT Day

Yes... is summer in Malaysia - As always.. I wish we can change the weather forecast! To Spring or Winter. Which is unlikely or Never gonna happen! Awww...

So since it's so HOT we decided to bring Adriel for a swim. We actually intended to bring him over to Yie Yie's place which has an Olympic size swimming pool and two Baby pool. But too bad, Yie Yie has gone out and Mummy too 'Pai seh' (*shy*) to bring you over just for a swim.

Nevermind lar, swimming pool is all the same. The water and deepness of it. Just the size of it! Sure got chance to go to Yie Yie's place another time.

Anyway, we still doesn't know how to use the arm band for him. Struggle, struggle.. finally decided to do it Manually... Daddy's help. I did hold his arms only for awhile... kenot tahan oledi.. Too tiring! So push back to Hubby!

More pics of Adriel

Poo Poo....Eeewww

2008-05-19T03:53:00.000-07:00

WARNING: Sorry, if you are Munching now, pls don't read this. Your appetite might goes off. U are warned in advance!

Usually when Adriel wan to do his 'Big Business' he will normally go near to any of the corner. So far, I noticed two corner he'll normally sit quietly and do it. One of the corner will be the pic above and another corner will be near to the curtains.

How do I know he's doin his Business? You will roughly know he's doing his business as he will sit extremely Quiet - Out of sudden. And than, he will be back to his routine after doin his business. This is only happened when he is wearing his Diaper.

When he is wearing his cloth nappy and he happened to Poo he will normally do it in standing up position. Sometimes after he poo, he will start screaming (not very loud) to inform you that he already poo. If U don't entertain him (as we didn't know he poo), he will start screaming and when his poo dropping or dripping down to his leg, he will tip-toe one of his leg. Yup is something that really amazed me!

It seems that he is a very clean person, as acknowledge by Aunty (Babysitter). And the best part is, he won't run around, if his poo still sticking with him till she wiped or cleaned him off. Which is Good. Or else, the whole house will be filled with 'Organic perfume'.

**New effect from Slide.. Did u noticed the Wording 'Poo Poo' and the animation Poo on the floor?

More pics of 'Business time'

He was actually wanna Mmm Mmm and at the same time wan to watch adverts!!

Playground I am coming

Last weekend bought Adriel to the Lake Garden just at the back of our apt. It was crowded with kids and adults.

Adriel was very excited when he saw so many kids surrounding him. He kept on wants to walk by himself without me holding on him. And I have to keep on chasing after him.

He's so cheeky. When I hold his hand, he will to squat down! Is like telling me 'I'm not goin to walk with you, if you holds my hand'. So when I put off my hand from him he will start running around.

Towards the end, both Me and Hubby who have been chasing after him sweating all over. And He is just happily walking and running around the park!

A BEST pic I can get from him

Give meeee... Real Food!!.

Two days ago, Adriel has given up on his porridge. No matter how hard we try to feed him he just doesn't want it. Yes, he wants to eat like an Adult now. Oh well, I can totally understand him. After 9mths of porridge I guess he just have ENUF of it.

On the other hand, Aunty is cracking her head of what to cook for Adriel. She said, is so hard to cook for him as she doesn't normally eat lunch. If she does, only very light meals - noodles. *Sorry Aunty I also need to crack my head when my time comes - weekend or Pub Hol!!

The Pro side
We can eat together without me making his porridge 3 hrs in advance

The Con side
I have to start cooking. Which means no more 'tah pou' (take away) from stalls, as they may consumed more MSG. Errrrgh

Moral of the story : Eat together as a family, but more work for ME!!!!! I missed my stalls food!! :( Snob, snob.

Shoes Fettish

2008-05-16T08:10:00.000-07:00

I can sense Adriel feet and fingers has been growing because I have been cutting his nails each week. Each time I look at his feet, I would say.. your feet has grown longer just like your nails.

So, the shoes that I bought in December’ 07 – Pumpkin Patch just can’t fit him anymore. And I decided to scout for a new pair for him.

Is a Croc, is a Croc.. Yes, I finally get a pair of Croc for Adriel.

Hahaha… I generously bought a Croc for him without thinking twice.

It doesn’t cost a lot to me as the Mother bought him a cheapskate Croc!! Yes, I am a supporter of Pirated stuff!

Called me a cheapskate, Yes indeed - I am and I am not denying it!.

An Original aka Ori will cost you roughly at RM119.00 and for a fake one will cost me RM8.00. Ok some calculation, it comes up to nearly 15pairs of fake croc equivalent to One Ori. Moreover, Kids feet will always grow each week. So wat’s the point of getting an Ori?

To me, it looks exactly like Ori – light weight MINUS the Croc logo at the side! That’s the only differences – I think.

Before buying a fake Croc, I did check it out at Ikano (they have variety of Croc shoes). I really tempted to buy an Ori… and went I wanted to buy, I always have second thoughts about it.

In fact, I went in a few times without Adriel, but always ended up empty hand out. WHY ? Because I always think is not worth to buy rubber shoes. And how much does a rubber will cost me? Malaysia have abandon of rubber trees!

Moral of the story: Why pay more, when you can get ‘As Good as fake’!!! Kekekeke… That’s me!

Oh yah, I also bought a pair of slipper for him at the cost of RM5. So I can train him to wear slipper at home too.

WE has grown up

2008-05-15T03:40:00.001-07:00

Yes, We are BIG boys now.

We are 10 mths old now and not too far from our 1st B'Day

Col & Nic has stated crawling now. Between these two, Nic seems to be the active one. He even started to stand up and walked along the furniture.

Colin weighed about 9kgs and Nic is at 7kgs.
Mmm... that explained why Nic's so active.

The Best part is both twins whenever I try to snap their Pics, they sure look at the camera.
