Studio shoot for Terry

Since not cooked on Wednesday, so we went to Sunway Pyramid to have our dinner. Initially plan to have Flamming Steamboat buffet, we round at those shops at hotel side, couldn' found it. 2nd choice wan to hav Chicken Buffet, but no more there. So, end up having Sushi King. By the time we exit car park only found that Flamming Steamboat buffet restaurant is located at Esso that side there. Hopefully can come next time when hav time.

Sunway Pyramid is under construction now...expanding again very big project going on. The parking lot left half at the shopping mall. It is pack and not easy to drive in there.....only have 1 exit, which is near Esso there.... I believe aft it done the parking will be very huge and can link from hotel to shopping mall.

Aft dinner, shop a while...Walk passed Anakku shop, there hav a studio photo shooting booth. With every purchase of RM30 and above in Anakku shop entitle a free 4R photo. So, since we hav plan wan to let Terry to hav one studio photo each year, might as well get it there. We bought him a K's Kids stroller toy and a pack of wet tissue to make up of RM30. Place him on the shooting point, make him lie on stomach for posing, and make him smile. Out of 6 pcs of pic, we choose 2, another one pcs add extra RM7. This photo studio shoot is done by DeOne. Will collect the photo next week.

Continue shop, but couldn't get anything nice. So back home. Heavy pour...

Quite tired aft that. Used almost 1 hour cooking it. Result, I'm not so satisfied. Hopefully cooked better next time. Actually my initial plan is to cooked stew pork, but due to reason of chemical used in raise a pig, that may harm human's health, Minister ask to stop eating pork for a while. So, everybody less taking pork meat now. After dinner, we having tang yun. SIL#1 gave Terry christmas present.

We planned to go The Curve and Ikea at 3pm, came out jam. Reach there, all parking full and entrance is block for cars entering. Many cars are parked at the road side. We know is super super full, so we go off and went for lunch first before heading KLCC. Reach at 5.15pm, condition still ok, lots of people and can get parking easily. I didn't get anything from there, but Brandon get a good discount on the leather shoe and clothes. Before fetching Terry from my mum's home, joined Brandon's fren for a short gathering at Cheras, as also having our dinner.

About the prize

Still remember I won the Sony Mini Hi-Fi and I was waiting their notification email to collect the prize, which they promise to sent within 2 weeks time. Wait for more than a month time, how come the email is not reach me yet and I started to suspect whether is it true that I can get it, until I read the winner list and proven that I'm one of the October winner.

Don't know what happen that I cannot received their email in my Yahoo! mailbox, which they have actually sent. And, too bad I didn't save the phone number they call me before. So in trouble, no one can help me and the website no contact detail and address. So, I found out from the Hennessy bottle and call to the organizer (Riche Monde, also distributor), but always engaged. Luckily at the end recall one of my fren also the winner on previous month, with his help, his fren know the Brand Manager of Hennessy and he help me to inform the management office to give me a call again. Finally, the management office call me up and check the email add with me and they try to send again to Yahoo!, but again it just couldn't get it in Yahoo!..really frustrated. Luckily they accept an alternative add, there I got it in gmail. When I'm reading the letter, it actually stated there 1 week collection date in November. Luckily they still allow for the late to collect.

Phew!!!....I just collect the prize on Monday at Plaza Damansara, Block C - Dentsu (M) Sdn. Bhd. What a great experience of collecting this Mini Hi-Fi. It is not mini, 21kg, very big and they did inform me early to bring along husband to carry. We didn't familiar with the place, so we parked our car at Block A, and we walked to Block C. This office building main entrance, vehicle cannot passed by, need to climb staircase to reach. So go la, climb about 50+ steps staircases while Brandon carry Terry. So, after we took that, think of need to go down 50+ steps again with 21 kg..sweating man! Brandon carry alone and I carry Terry...3 of us also sweating!!! it is impossible to carry that huge thing back to our carpark, so Brandon drove the car up near the staircase then only transfer it.

I plan to sell it off. Not really need it now and because it is not MINI. Will let u know the model and price later.

Cooking

I'm not very good at cooking, nor very interested in cook. If u ask me to read recipe book, attend cooking class, u can count me out. I learn cooking just from watching TV, watch my mum did cooking and briefly listen how to cook from my mum only. Since aft having Terry, almost everyday 3 meals, I cooked by myself. Sunday is my off cooking day. Taste of my cook..so so la..still can eat....learn new cook once a while if I wan to eat. Currently dishes I make are simple and fast cook. Most of it cooking style are stir fried, steam and stew/ braised. Most easy cooked is boil soup, fast, convenient yet nutrition, as all essence is extract out from the ingredient u boil.

Simple dishes I used to cooked are like stir fried vege/meat, braised chicken (in soya sause), steam pork rib, steam chicken (can b steam in ginger, mushroom, pre-pack ingredient, herbs..etc..), steam fish, yong tau fu (seldom). Normally I like to mix fried, like vege with meat. Soup wise are like bayam soup, ABC soup (potato, carrot, big onion, tomato, mushroom), herbs soup, vege soup.

Currently only my own family n Brandon tasted my cook. Still boosting up my skill to do better cooking. All thanks to my mum!

Nappy rash

Mummy great worries for baby is not run away from nappy rash, the pet pet is just red and if it is terrible, it will cause itchy. Since Terry having solid, his stool become more "chemical" than just taking milk. Happen twice his backside have mild nappy rash.

I used Bepanthen, a trial sample in the goodie bag from MommyBaby carnival recently. Since I dun hav one before, just wipe it on first to soothe it... and I also add an extra piece of nappy liner on top of the diapers to makes his butt more dry. Normally nappy liner I only used when he is wearing cloth diaper. For better, everytime I washed it with running tap water before putting on a new diapers.

After I'm doing so, in 3 days his red butt is gone !!!

6 months old

Weight: 8.24kg (on 20-Nov-06)
Long: 73cm

Terry is half year old!!! he is growing bigger and stronger now since after solid. Currently still taking 1 time solid and 3 times milk per day with 5.5oz each time. Up to today Terry has tasted on Nestlé Rice Cereal (plain fav), porridge, bayam (yin choi), apple, banana, carrot and potato. Will still stick to this few food till next week until I introduce him other new food. Doc hav mention to us he can change to Step 2 (6-12 months) milk powder at anytime now, as Step 2 milk powder contain more protein than fat. Currently he is still having DutchLady FrisoGold 1.

He is more and more active now. While he is in the baby coat he just turn and turn. Put him into walker, he able to walk a bit, but to the side way and reverse way (check out the youtube). First few days a bit scare, not dare to kick and very fast get tired. Can't sit with own support yet. Lately bring him to botak again, as his head sweat a lot and makes him feel hot...with botak he looks more clean. Anyway I know is not that cute without hair (some said not nice without hair) but dun worry his hair is growing fast. Likes to look at ppl mouth when ppl eating in front of him...Anything that near him he will grasp on, if he can't reach the thing, he will move his body by turning until he got it. Can hold milk bottle and drink by himself by leaning on my arm. Poo-ed 2-3 times per day. Love to smile, laugh out loud and talk in his language. Currently can make more sounds other than mmm and ma ma, mum mum...blow out with saliva bubbles on the lips. Drop saliva when sit for long. Now he is not so easy to cry when stranger carry him.
