Backkkkkom

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

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

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

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

Youuuuuu OUT

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

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

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

**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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

X'Mas Party 2008

**Backdated post 14 Dec' 08**

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

My X'mas Wish

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

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

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

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

Clockwise: Buggy Board, Bouncer Donkey & Harness

My Fav ads

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

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

X'Mas Tree 2008

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

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

He managed to sit down quitely to get a pic taken

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

Started to eyes on the pressie

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

Lil' Picasso with an Upgraded tools

**Backdated post 2 Feb' 09**

This posting is especially for Sting :)

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

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

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

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

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

30 Mins of FAME

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

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

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

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

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

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

End results is tis....

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

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

Picasa 3 - I'm Lovin it

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

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

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

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

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

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