Bye 2007!

30 minutes more we will bid Good Bye to year 2007 and usher the brand new year of 2008. The days of 2007 is passed very very fast. Really not have a feel like it have come to last day of the year.

It is actually my bed time now. How I missed those days where I so enjoy count down with the crowd and watch live fireworks. As of today the last day of the year, I have temporarily let down my SAHM role. For this entire week, I'll help in my FIL's office for some clerical work as the only loyal and faithful staff met an accident last week. There is a lot of month end and year end work to close and also sales claim to rush. So force to leave the home and my boy. A tiring day for me back to work in office.

Terry have been placed in nursery home today for the very first time. My mum who work there as a cook at the same time can help to juggle him a bit. Today so far so good, no big cry for mummy and popo, even he saw popo passing the foods to the room. Just that new faces and new place, he looks moody. All teachers like him very much and those who handle him are very patient feeding him and take care of him. Many saw his height and body size and thought that he is a 3 years old boy.

This morning, he just like not willing to wake up and get change since need to wake up early and daily routine come a sudden change. I understand for a small toddler at his age who never leave a single day away with his mummy is hard to cope with it alone with all unfamiliar surrounding. But I got to say that I'm so proud of his achievement for a good start. He still willing to be fed by unfamiliar people (take rice and soup somemore which he not start it at home) and able to sleep in new environment.

I can't expect anymore for the first time left him alone for his behaviour. Glad that with my mum's call to tell his condition, I less worried. Actually, placing Terry in my mum's work place is already my plan during the days I'm away for holidays. Looks like now he is fine with it. I'm sure when I'm away he would be ok too. Great boy Terry...another big things happen to you on the last minute of 2007!

Here, I would like to wishes all my friends a very Happy New Year to you, look forward for the new year and new beginning.


Cheers,

Christmas day

Christmas day is fianlly over. It is a peaceful one for me. Last year, Terry still small and not yet really know what is Christmas day. Today, he can walk and wanted to go here and there. I put up a red hat on him and he is so happy for that and seeing other kids also doing the same.

Christmas my church celebrate it at Sri Petaling Community hall in the morning. My dad invited all my uncles, cousins and nephew to attend the celebration. About 20 of them. Hubby join me too. Too bad that I don't have time to mingle around with them. There were around 500 people attend the celebration. The theme of this year is "What if Jesus not came". We have kids and adults performances, choir team and Pastor preach to us for the last time as today he will leave to Dubai.

There after the program, a simple buffet lunch was served. Some dishes did by our church refreshment team and some took from catering. Terry just having some fried rice, water melon and jelly cup for syiok only, as I feed him porriedge before the programs ended. Got a few Christmas gifts since before and on Christmas day. Thanks for that my dear friends and church sisters for your rememberance during this Thanksgiving season. One of the gift send by L'abeille, which have brings me so much of Christmas feel inside out.
The Ginger biscuit
After the half day celebration, we back home and sleep on the other half day. At night, I suddenly so craving of having steak for dinner and thought of eating at one of the steak house nearby. Too bad hubby just don't know what happen curl up in the bed for the night and don't even want to eat. So, no choice, heavy rain outside liow. I ordered Nando's delivery, I was so soo hungry. Since minimum order is RM25, I have my order for Beef Steak strip with rice and a set of ¼ chicken with 2 sidelines. I finished everything. Crazy or not...

3. Share this tag to your friends.

For me, the year 2007 had a lot of happiness (and hope for 2008). Happiness because i see my son, grow and grow day by day. I have a great husband. I met lots of new friends from around the world via blogging ^_^ - Juliana RW

In 2007, I become happier than before because my hubby’s got promotion and sure his salary had been increased. This had made my life more comfortable but everything seemed to cost an arm and a leg nowadays. The happiest memory is I see Nelson’s tummy becoming bigger and bigger, he can now count number 1 to number 10, by my guidance. He loves eating and he enjoys every meal. He gives us a lot of happiness by the way he mimic our talking style and making such lovely faces. At first, I was so scared to look after him but now I hope he can be with me all the time. Even I feel tired everyday but I feel my life is meaningful. Hazel

Looking back at 2007, it signifies a few milestones of my life.. the major one of course being the birth of baby zen.. awwww... He was absolutely a delight, though there were times when we were so worried he was not getting enough milk.. as he wasn't gaining weight as much as he should. Now, looking at him, we feel that we had done something right in our lifetime to deserve such such a wonderful baby.. Thank you hubby for giving us baby zen :-) sting

This year has been another roller-coaster year for me. The best memories are the time when Aldrin uttered words of promises to me that things would be better this year onwards although until end of the year nothing much has improved. Also the best memories when I first got my pay slip and saw that it was true that I got a 47% salary raised from my lowly unjustified old salary. I am also happy to see my beloved sister happily got married and watching Jojo (my dog) grow up to be an adorable, beautiful and obedient 2 year old ;p - Amidrin

Year 2007, is where I fully carry out the roll of being a mummy to Terry. I begin to learn how to appreciate the love and care from my parents and try my best to repay them. No other things that so meaningful than I brought up Terry completely healthy and happy as who he is today. Accompany him to grow is the priceless moments - the moment he turn 1 year old, starts to walk, all the cheeky gesture, happy laughing and etc...He has brought us a lot laughter and happy moments at home. I'm so proud of my boy for he have gain lots of praises and pat everywhere he went for being good in an overall. For myself, I'm happy that I can make a good payout in blogging and glad to know many good friends out there. Most great is that I able to help many in blogging. ~ lemonjude

Christmas at Pavilion KL

Dong Zhi on Saturday went back to FIL's place to have dinner. We ate at 3.30pm (very early) as FIL and 2 SIL will be going to airport at 8pm. After dinner, we make a trip down to Pavilion KL. There I saw the real nice white Christmas decoration at the mall. My first time there and here is another big mall.

Taking the whole place of old Bukit Binatang School stretch till to the old Eden restaurant there. All shops are selling higher price range of things. We just window shop there. Right when we are at Concourse area to snap some pic with the white tree. This is how Terry looks like when he gazed up the drop down Christmas lighting. Then, we saw Santa Claus and Santarina on the stage and ppl are queuing up to take photo with them. So, we also went to snap from them. It only cost RM1 for a 4R size photo taken by a photographer there.
Scrapbook from Be Merry Quick Page
He almost cry out when Santa wanted to hold him, there later once I carry him with a sweet passed from the Santarina, he stop crying and the photographer quickly snap 1 take only. Luckily he not making big fuss there. He was very tired also since he only take 1 nap before out the house at 2pm. He walk and play a lot at FIL there and we are continue to shop somemore. No choice we got to borrow a stroller from Pavilion reception and let him sit.
He just too tired to make any move after we put him on the stroller. In about 10 minutes, he fall asleep. So, I got a peaceful mind to shop. Walk into a few shops for clothes and shoes. Nothing catchy to my eyes. Once Terry wakes, pack some foods then we back home.

Holiday stay at home

Yesterday was Hari Raya Qurban public holiday. In the afternoon, we have good time having lunch at KLT and searching more info for our trip. We didn't go anywhere else as suggested by hubby we need to clean the house. Ha...it is not CNY yet, why clean so early? You see, things are piling up in the house and dusts are hiding everywhere.

We only start our cleaning job in the evening for the good 2 hours plus. We clean the floor area down at the sofa, down the bed, vacuum the sofa, clean the ceiling fan, wipe the windows and grills and shift out the things that not in used to somewhere. Now left the master bedroom not yet clean up.

It is long way to go before CNY, but since we having trip 2 weeks before CNY, we don't want to pile up the work at home and rush when back from holiday. I know it is so tiring. There are more to clean and I think those will left for me like washing the curtains, change this and that and wipe here and there.

We start to do slowly now and not get into a rushing time when the time near CNY.

Happy Winter Solstice ~ 冬至

Tomorrow is our Chinese celebrating Dong Zhi. This is an important Chinese traditional festive day celebrate between December 22nd and 23rd. In olden days, Dong Zhi is a symbol of a day whereby the northen earth having the shortest day time and longest night time. After this day, the daytime will getting longer each day. Thats how the Dong Zhi are being talked about. We will be eating round balls in soup namely - tang yuan.

It made of glutinous rice flour mixed with a small amount of water to form balls and is then cooked and served in boiling water. Tang Yuan normally served as a sweet dessert. It can be unfilled tang yuan or filled with red bean paste, chopped peanuts and sugar. For savoury filling usually is using pork meat ball. When pink and white tangyuan are eaten in sweet broth, it is symbolise family unity and prosperity.

I miss my mum's made tang yuan. Each year, she will be having different soup served with different fillings and I'm sure having big fun rolling the balls and ask for many colours tang yuan dough. I have not been eating her tang yuan for the past 3 years. Quite miss it. Tomorrow we will be having family lunch at FIL's house and thereafter they will be leaving to HK for holiday.

To all my frinds who reading this, may you have a great time reunion with your family and friends and best wishes for happiness, health and wealth.

Almost get ready to HK

These few days we are getting things to confirm for our free and easy HK and Macau trip. Yeah, we finally set to go Hong Kong from Macau and not Zhu Hai anymore. Today we got our HK hotel rooms confirm and we got a great rate for staying there 3 nights plus we can get cheaper Disneyland entrance tickets from there. But for Macau is a bit hard, cause we are booking the room from hotel reservation site and now still waiting the feedback for room available. Due to privacy and on our safety purpose, I won't disclose the hotel name yet. I will be share more details and the process of getting there and everything after we are back from the trip.

The trip days is almost less than 1 month time to go from now. I'm getting more and more excited to get things confirm, prepare and ready. Free and easy trip is really not a easy trip. We do really lots of research on hotel booking, places to visit, transport, fare/rates, meals, time arrangement and whatever others that we can think of while we are there. We try our best to check out more now so that we won't miss out a thing and we won't get blur or feel lost.

So for HK, we are confirm to have a full day to soak ourself in a kid's wonderland, which is Disneyland. Although we are not going with our son, for sure the rides and theme parks might make us boring too. After some comparison, we still choose to go visit the world class Disneyland instead of Ocean Park. There will only be 2.5 days at HK, we will try to fit in to visit more famous places as possible. Currently those other places in our list to visit are Victoria Peak, Avenue of Stars, Victoria Harbour night view and shopping point (Mong Kok, Tsim Sha Tsui, Miu Kai and etc).

For Macau, we are still planning where we can go on the half day. But for sure we will visiting some major casino like Lisboa and the newly open casino just 2 days ago - MGM Grand Macau. The Macau Cotai Strip is now known as Asia's Las Vegas after the opening of The Venetian Macau and MGM.

2007 Christmas decoration at shopping mall

I particularly like the festive decoration at shopping mall during Christmas. Notice that only this is the time the shopping mall spend a lot of fund and effort in having huge and large decoration. Of cause they are nice too.

For those who not able to travel around to so many shopping malls to check out the beautiful Christmas decoration, here are what we have this year at all major shopping malls in KL and Penang. For me, so far I only went to Mid Valley to view the real scene and happen that it is the worst decoration I found all these while. I'm yet to go snap some Christmas tree pic around with my boy. Hopefully can go one round this weekend, provided that he is not cranky when walking in the mall.

1 Utama (New Wing) - heard that the Scottish drummer's head is moving one.



The Curve - heard that there is bubble foam drop at special hour to create snowy feel


Berjaya Time Square


Mid Valley



KLCC

Pavilion KL


Gurney Plaza, Penang

Queensbay Mall


From these set of Christmas deco, found that Gurney Plaza one is the simple one yet nicest. Following by in KL one would be at 1 Utama. It is cute and like kid's Christmas wonderland. For KLCC, I noticed that every year they almost having the same tall tree place in the middle of the Concourse area. Anyway, there are all special in their own way.

Goat in year of Rat

Received an email talking about some general feng shui during 2008 the year of Rat and also some detail one on each chinese zodiac sign. Although I'm not so believe on what it tells, but no harm reading it. Here is what it says on me.

General
This is a fantastic year for those who are born in the year of the Goat. This is the time to implement your plans and to reap the fruits of labor that you have sowed. You will get the support and assistance from the relevant people easily. Though your luck is generally extremely good this year, remember to stay humble and always have contingency plans because there are many sudden crises too. Do not let arrogance get in your way. There are signs of legal problems this year too. Hence, avoid any illegal activities. Though you will be able to cope with the obstacles that arise this year, do not attempt to push your luck. Do tread with caution too.

Career
Your career luck is very good. This is a good time to shine at work. You will get support from your authority figures such as your boss or the management. If you are in business, you will get the support of your clients and your business will do very well this year. Remember that while you prosper, always make contingency plans and expand conservatively. This year, there tends to be sudden incidents that may cause problems. You do not want to be caught off guard by it.

Wealth
This is a good year in terms of wealth. If you are investing, choose something that will grow steadily. If you are in business, allow your business to grow gradually. Do not rush into things. How good you are at conserving your wealth also depends on how well you are able to avoid legal situations.

Relationship
There might be more quarrels or disputes between those who are already in relationships, as there will more frustration this year due to stress. Be more patient and it is more important to communicate. It is much more difficult than in previous years for those who are single to find the right partner. For those who are single there will be more concern about the stress caused by other aspects of life.

Health
Be careful of illnesses that strike suddenly, for example, heart attacks and strokes. You are more accident prone than usual. Do not engage in any high-risk activities. This year, it is important to follow traffic rules carefully and not to exchange conveniences with regrets. If you are driving, ensure that you have adequate rest.

People
There are more betrayals or back-stabbings this year. Some people may be jealous of your success and decide to make life difficult for you. Do be aware of this and remain humble and polite.

Funny sarcastic joke

(I)
Hubby: Wow, how come you buy this expensive bra? Looks that you doesn't have a nice boob.
Wife: Well, if according to that, then you can save down the money to buy your men's underwear!
Hubby: .....

(II)
The wife is standing on the weighting scale.
"Dear, come and see I have lost weight of 2kg."
"Dear, that because you didn't put up your make up." Hubby replied.

(III)
Son: Mum, why you grow white hair?
Mum: Because you always make me angry and this is how the white hair can grow.
Son: Then, those white hairs on grandma must caused by you?
Mum: *speechless*

(IV)
Lee invited Wong to his house to be his dinner guest.
At his home, Wong keep hearing Lee calling "Dear" to address his wife.
Wong very impress of that and told Lee this,"Hey, it is not easy ya. You both have been married for nearly 10 years, you still sounds so sweet to call your wife."
"Actually...." Lee whispered to Wong,
"I already forgotten her name since long time ago."

Just a SIMPLE life (Part II)

The kid says to his mum, "Mummy, today you are very beautiful."
"Why?" Mum replied.
"Because mummy is not angry today." the kid's reply.
> It is just so easy to get pretty, just not to get angry. <


There is a farmer having his kid to work hard in the farm. A friend told the farmer, "You doesn't need to make your kid to work so hard there, the crops will still grow in a good conditions."
The farmer replied, "No, I'm not cultivate the crops, I just training up my kid."
> It is just so simple to breed your kid, just let them endure some hardship. <

Avent teats

Since very very long time ago I was looking for Avent fast flow teat (No. 4) to change the set which have used for long. I check everywhere at departmental store like Jusco and Isetan and some other babycare outlet, I just couldn't locate any of that. All only selling newborn teats. Others bigger teats are not available. During that time I'm not bother to ask why it is not selling. I was try my best to check for it everytime during my shopping.

Last Sunday in Jusco I finally ask a sales girl for Avent how come bigger teats no stock for so long. She gave me a reply said she also not sure the reason why it is out of stock. Is kinda not professional at all for not knowing the products well. So, I not bother what she told me, until 2 days ago, I finally found it at Mothercare, Mid Valley. Quickly I bought it with or without discount.

There I saw many stock for 6 months+ and for variable flows teat. Only lack of teats no. 3 only. The different I saw is the distributor is not Kinderdjik anymore, it is under Philip now. The old pair of teats is already 9 months old. Can image how long I have used it, for just couldn't get it to change.

More to write

Since last week I have 2 good paying offers from RM. But due to 300 words, I was so relunctant to write. It was really like it and hate it. Like the money, but not that 300 words long and the title offering. At last, I let go of it. It is $7.50 and $10.

Tuesday holiday, whole day I was in shopping mall and I don't even have time to on my computer. Foresee I must have missing out some companies offers. Don't care la, shop first hehe...I even cash out a little using my Visa Debit card, since I have not touch any since doing own Paypal withdrawal. So syiok! can buy the things I want.

Yesterday, back to normal. Start scouting offers again everywhere. To my surprise when I login to BGT I saw 2 new offers, quickly I hit and inform others to do so. I keep on Refresh the offer page and new offers keeps popping. For that 1 hour more, I successfully grab 7 new offers. All got to be complete within 48 hours plus 2 own posts in between. Up to now, I only managed to complete 3 offers. 4 more to go with own interim somemore, left with 24 hours. Offer is easy to complete but interim post is a lot there. Looks like today got to have more posts publishing...

Not to bla anymore continue my work first...

Get ready for Christmas

Targeted 500 peoples to attend. I'm yet to invite some of my friends to join the party. Almost get ready for this Christmas. What about you?

Just a SIMPLE life (Part I)

Once this person went for an interview. As he walked by the corridor, he picked up the waste paper and rubbish along the way and throw it into dustbin. So happen that the interviewer saw he did that. Hence, he got the job.
> It is just so simple to get recognized, just maintain a good habit. <

There was this young boy work in the bicycle workshop as a apprentice. Once a customer send over a kaput bicycle to repair. Not only he get it repair back in good condition, he even polish the bicycle and make it as beautiful as possible like a new one. The other senior worker laugh at his did for being too much in doing extra work. Later, the customer came to collect the bicycle. The next day, this young boy being employ over by the customer to work at his office.
> It is just so easy to go beyond, just suffer the little losses. <

Another round Christmas shopping

Since last Sunday, I left some Christmas gift to complete the list, so Tuesday (Selangor holiday) I went again to MV and shop crazily. Hubby is off so he willing to stay at home and take care the small boy.

Early in the morning I prepared everything, cook porridge to both of them, then at 10.30am hubby send me to shopping. That day also the longest hours hub stay at home with my boy, whereby it between 2 rounds meal time to my boy. Reach MV rounghly around 11.30am, quickly look throught my list and walk to the shop that I want to get things from.

There is always no fail I will pay a visit to my ex-colleague when I'm there and of cause that got to be the during office hours in working day. Many of them so happy to met me again. During lunch time, I look for Amidrin. That's really my luxury time can have lunch with her. The feeling was so nice again it was like last time when we both go lunch together. We took our lunch at Prince Café and we chatted non-stop. Really time is like not enough, when there is something good happen. There are so much of things we want to update each other. In the 1 hour plus, We only manage to finish our lunch and walk a little while, then Amidrin got to back to work. So I shop alone after she goes off.

I continue to shop and shop and bought a full bag of things. Really so nice can shop peacefully and walk where I want. I didn't went over to The Gardens, since nothing much I afforded from there. Finally, after 3 hours plus shop I got myself a dress, all the Christmas gifts and jeans pant to my boy. I still got things to buy for myself..like shoe and purse. Will try to go shop again for those. Plan to get everything done in this December sales shopping for CNY clothes too. See how much I can buy...really, year end shopping is so killing...Money pour out like water.

It was my secondary classmate wedding dinner in PJ. My friend come to fetch me and we went together. I was so rush, friend was waiting, before I open my grill gate, I forgot my little cardigan. Luckily can remember, else I will feel so windy on my back and sholder *grin *grin.. so went back to take it. My lil boy help me to close the door later.

Properly fit my 3 inches heel then walk in run...happily chatted in the car on the way to the restaurant. Found our parking, which the walking distance not too far from the restaurant. Step down the car, rain slightly wet my shoulder. This is what happen, I feel something different on my feet..

OMG, the strip fall off...sei for la..I shout to my friend, sei la sei la..my shoe spoilt how to walk. It is 7.30pm already. My dear friend - Yan, quickly calm me down and said don't be so scared come come, I got shoe in my car, what size is your feet, don't mind wearing mine? I would say if you having slipper also I will take it. I'm wearing size 5, just nice she having that. She keep 2-3 pairs of shoe in her back seat, she grab one for me and I wear it on. Then, quickly walk to the restaurant. Really really thank God for having her. Imagine, hubby sent me there, shoe broken, nearby no shoe shops, hubby car no shoe for me...I would rather go home la..

Luckily I was in SS2, even if there is no shoe in Yan's car, I think I still can easily shop one from there. After a freaking moment, I sat down peacefully in the dinner hall. Actually me and Yan also need to quiet down as she also come in a rush after a tiring roadshow. She almost over slept during her nap, almost forget to pack the ang pau and wearing a wrong dinner dress, whereby it will 'zhao kong' when slightly bend to take dishes, coz she thought her bf is with her for the night and he can serve her. She totally forget that her bf is not turn up with her... so clumsy when we are in rush. While trying to settle down, I told Yan, ei..I forget to wear my earring la... *slap head..

Talk about my heel. I like this heel a lot till the extend that I clean/wash it everytime after wearing it and put back nicely in the shoe box, wrap up with the shoe cloth too. I only wear this heel when I went clubbing (yeah, wear 3 inches to dance and shake back in those days) or dinner. This shoe is with me back in 3 years ago, bought from Vincci. Recently the shoe heel cap broken at one side, I even send to the cobbler to repair it. So wasted if throw away and since I like it very much, just try to save till the last. Good that, I still able to wear twice after that. It is so hard to find a pair of shoe that I like. Overall the shoe surface and bottom is still quite clean and new, it is no scratch at the heel bar yet! I have tried to shop for a new one soemthing like that, but all I come across one is not that I like (very yim jim hor?). Now since the strip fall off, the heel pad also looks broken and I check everywhere also looks like almost start to loose too, especially the strips. I think is time to say bye-bye to this heel. *sob-sob*

Christmas shopping

Yesterday I skipped church also missed baby Joshua fullmoon party as I told hubby we want to shop for Christmas. Packed Terry's porridge then we go and reach Mid Valley at around 12pm. Still manage to get a car park easily at The Gardens there, but it is so full at Megamall.

I foresee drama of cranky will happen as Terry not having any nap since wake up in the morning. When I put him down to walk he just don't want. Stroller stop he make noise, carry him to walk and stop by he make noise. So on and off stroller sit a while and carry a while. While hubby looking for trousers, he begin to warm up and get active. He walks here and there, round and round, make fun with promoters and poke those items that he can reach. I just follow him for not knocking down the things around and faster pull him off if he touches on anything. He only get quiet down when I feed him porridge while waiting hubby to finish his shop. He still not get tired, we proceed to Isetan. My turn to get my things. We walk separately, hubby bought him away without stroller and I shop with the stroller.

Try on some dresses but non of that suit my taste..I just so hate my body shape. I need to fit in L size now. Nice dresses looks kinda big, nothing good when put on. Hubby was at Men's dept and plan to look for something. But since he carry Terry, he not able to stop by and have a look. And the small boy he don't want to carry, so just let him down to walk. He begin to open drawers and walk by his own, not even want hubby to hold him. Bring him to kids playroom, he even fight for toys with other kids.

After around 1 hour, I got nothing and start looking for hubby, can't even get to call him. Isetan no line inside..so I wait at outside. Finally met them and I can see my hubby face is so tired handling him. A quick one hubby when to Men's dept and shop away 2 shirts. So I got to be the follower again. My boy again non-stop walking and rounding. He try to poke and wanted to take those expensive Men's fragance on the shelf..I faster carry him away. I no money to pay that if broken.

Then we proceed to Megamall. Finally Terry feel tired, that almost 3pm. He not even want to make more moves in the stroller already, totally exhausted. Daddy and mummy too. So we just stroll slowly walking towards Megamall in hope that he can fall a sleep in the moving stroller. Finally, he did. We get so relieved after that. It was sooooo pack in Megamall. Really hard to make a quick move. Christmas decoration is yucks there. Like a jungle, the worst one ever. We don't even take a lunch and continue to shop. Since it is so pack and Terry is sleep. So hubby sit a side and wait for me to shop at Jusco.

Since I have a list with me, mostly shop for Christmas gift for family. So I just walk to the related place to choose it, then queue up in the long cashier to pay. It is quite fast 1 hour plus, I'm done. Now only left 2-3 items more to complete the list. Terry manage to nap for 2 hours in the stroller while waiting me to shop.

It is a real hectic 5 hours spending there. With a small kid to shop is really tiring and exhausted...I don't know where I got the energy to walk and chasing with only having 3 pieces of bread and milk in the morning and last till around 5.30pm. Quickly we pack something back home to eat after leaving Megamall. I got to speed up as I got wedding dinner to attend. I was so so tired and hungry. Once reach home, shower Terry, wallop the food, bath myself, feed Terry, make up and rush out the house. My friend is downstair waiting me to go dinner.

Reach Tai Thong Restaurant in SS2 at 7.30pm with a slight rain drops. Hubby and boy stay at home. There was something happen before the wedding dinner, stay tune!

Photo Hunters: Long

2 years ago during my trip to Beijing, I'm so proud that I can step on the the world's longest human-made structure - The Great Wall of China. It is just so amazing the work and architecture in the past centuries.

The Great Wall of China stretching over more than 4,000 miles across North China. It is the only largest man-made structure that can be seen from the moon with the naked eye. It was built, rebuilt, and maintained between the 5th century BC and the 16th century.

More things he can do

@ 18 months, 2 weeks old

This week is better, Terry can finally sleep early at 11.30pm. Think he have pass the over excitement days of walking here and there. Since after he able to walk by himself, he is more brush up on some skills.

First, I make him to throw his own diapers. I would say "throw" and he will reach out his hand tp make the throwing action. Somedays, if he refuse to let me change, I will say comes lets throw diaper. Then, he will stay quiet and let me pull down his pant and change. After changing, he will hold his heavy weight diaper in both hand happily, walk to the kitchen, stretch out his both hands and leave down the diaper slowly into the dustbin. Then, he will give me a satisfaction smile and happy that he can did it.

Secondly, I instruct him to put back the things he digged out. Previously, he will just leave it there and run away. Now, I will get him to put it back first before he move. So far so good, he is able to clear up all. If there is 1 or 2 pieces left out, I will point to it and he will pick it up, open the drawer and put it back.

Third, instruct him to bring things from a distance. Once I ask him to bring things to me, he will happily get it for me. Then, he able to put it back to the same place too, when it is done. Sometime when he is playful, he will bring and go a few times and he laugh there. He is very listen and take my instruction well. When he about run towards some dangerous area or I'm not going to follow him to the places, I said "cannot go" then he will pause and walk back to me with a crying face.

The small ball have been sitting at a corner for sometimes. Last weekend, daddy played with him and he is so excite and happy to chase it. I begin to teach him kick, push and throw. Since he can only stand up with support, when the ball goes away, he wants to pick it back. After he hold to stand but couldn't grab the ball. If grab the ball with both hands first, he couldn't get up...hahaha...it just so funny to watch his skill on how he did that, to grab ball first or to stand first. But I will help him on that.

Going holiday with your baby?

Year end now, holiday mood. everybody is try to taking long leave to go for vacation or family outing. I bet those who having small baby at home, you will head ache on packing his stuff. Last time, whenever we go other places over night, the car boot is full of his things.

Babies tend to be low-maintenance travellers who sleep a good deal of the time. Even so, they need a remarkable amount of gear to help them stay comfortable and happy. This checklist of items you shouldn't travel without, plus tips for easy, efficeint packing.

• Nappies
• Baby blanket(s)
• Resealable plastic bags
• Nappy rash cream
• Baby wipes
• Baby bath and lotion
• Tissues
• Clothes
• Washable bibs
• Bottles
• Sun hat and sun screen (at least sun protection factor 20)
• Food, formula, water and/or juice
• Breast pump
• Nightlight
• Baby sling
• Travel cot
• Baby car seat for safe travel by car, plane, train, or bus
• Collapsible buggy

Packing Tips

Start preparing to pack a few weeks before you travel. Keep an ongoing list of items to bring, or put items out on a table or chest of drawers as you think of thm

Use a baby bag with a waterproof lining and a shoulder strap.

Pack an extra shurt ot top of yourself in your hand luggage in case of accidents.

Prevent leaks by packing medicines and toiletries in re-sealable plastic bags.

Bring a 60cm square of plastic or a changing mat put under your baby during nappy changes.

Keep an energy-boosting snack handy for yourself.

Bring your camera and plenty of film or digital memory cards.

Bring a clip-on reading light so you can read without disturbing your baby.

Prepare to go HK

Today I didn't do anything, just try to search some info for our coming Macau and HK trip. Mainly are checking on the hotel rates and places to visit. Come across lots of website from the search engine and I'm so dizzy reading many today.

Accommodation in HK is not really cheap. No hotel rooms are below RM200. 2 star hotel also more than RM250, somemore no breakfast one. I don't mind staying in budget hotel or guest house, just for sleep and bath. But those info are hardly can search online. Since we are going by our own, we try to save as much as we can for this trip. Cause I know free and easy trip are very easy over spend. As a good start, I managed to book the free seat air ticket from Air Asia since early in April. Still not sure want to book hotel or stay at my cousin's house for 2 nights.

Itinerary wise, I full use of the time we have to go as many places as we can. I know the timing I booked the flight is not so an ideal one. It is a 5 days in total. First day, we reach Macau at night, which can say already waste one day. Basically travel there to sleep for the first day. We only have 3 full days in HK and Macau. We want to travel to both places. So meaning, 1 and half day for each place. The trip end on the following day morning. So, I foresee is quite rush to visit the attractions too. Tight timing.

Let see how we going to arrange. Looking forward for it very much...

What is your big dream Sting?

Life is not easy blogging for $

Since the "G" King monopoly the blog ranking, which now make our blog for money life so miserable. The roller coaster changes on PR brought many of us so hard to earn now. Almost all I know who doing paid post the PR is a BIG FAT ZERO now. So what happen is mostly all advertisers still depends on PR rating to give out an offer. They are not looking at poor rating blog now and thus this makes us not having much to write since then.

PPP came out RealRank (RR) also not something good also. The RR number is a daily change rating and we don't know based on what they going to check our blog everyday in giving a RR number. So that means, advertiser are the one who still do the setting on RealRank out and see if our RR of the day is fulfil then only we can see the opps appear. The RR applys is like twister now. I can get my RR in over 2000+ and somedays in 1700+ to 1900+. With RR changing everyday, the PR also check side by side actually. So tell me how can we get good offer from PPP now? It is all being monitor tightly with the stupid number.

With the PR issue raising, one thing for sure we not getting much paid post to do. Now paid post company also want us to do something in related to that. I begin to house keep my paid posts in hope can help to get a better PR and not let the "G" King to index so much of those paid posts done which will causes the PR pull down. I also try rename all the labelling for paid posts. Thats how paid post company want to help us in this "G" battle.

If you still believe that back links or doing tags can help increase PR, I believe it is not the theory now. In fact, if we try to link back to a low PR blog, our own blog PR also will get effected. Though bloggers are still tagging me, I still happy to accept that with a link back as well. It is still fine to go on, just that try not to put many links in the post. Somehow I find tags are interesting posts too. Lately some new visitors saw the whole lot of tags I'm doing and start name me as "Tag Queen" *roll eyes* It is not anyway, just that when all tag posts are popping out is my free time to settle the homework.

"Mou jor"

As I said since my boy knows how to walk he have been sleep very late 12.30am and wake up at 9.30am. He just very hard to get an early sleep like what he used to have. Lately he begin to have 1 afternoon 3 hours nap only and late sleep at night. This is surely not a good habit to sleep late. Will try to get back his usual sleeping time now.

Not only he busy walking here and there, he also wanted to climb up to sofa, but still not able to make it without our help, coz it is high. Something new since the beginning of this week, he can twist his hand meaning for "no more". Now with twisting the hand he keep on saying "oh, mou jor, mou jor". Sometime just babble it out, but not so clear to pronounce it. But within the few times of saying that, once or twice he can say it out clearly.

I don't know how he manage to say that. I hardly say "mou jor" for no more. But he just saying it out with his own way and I guess he make the word correctly, "mou jor" means is no more. Everytime I just keep on laughing on that. He just so cute and lovely when repeat it a few times once he say it.

He must be thinking, what so silly my mummy laughing at me.

The Age That I Wish My Child Will Stay To Be!

I have done an age tag few months back. After this tag have been passing around for sometimes, Mummy-In-Vain decided to modified it abit. Now, lets talk about - The Age That I Wish My Child Will Stay To Be...

My boy is not too big yet, only 18 months old now. I take care of him all these days since he born. I can't particularly choose which age that I like as he only 1 year old+. If were to ask on which days of these 550 days I like him to stay, it got to be during 4-6 months old.

It is still so nice to cuddle, so loveable to be kiss (not like now push me away or run away when I want to kiss), no naughty did and not drive me up to anywhere yet. Just let me handle him whichever way. Although a few months old baby still not able to express themselve, but I just like my boy at this age on his baby look, baby cooing, smile, giggling and etc.

What about you?

To cane or not to cane

This mummy and this mummy want to know to cane or not to cane a kid. During the days when I'm a kid, my mum did used to cane me. But I can see my mum are feel so sorry to us once she punish us.

Well, I believe to certain extend a reasonable canning as punishment is fine to keep a strong reminder to kid as a lesson not to repeat the same did again. Just that not too much, it will spoilt the kid thinking too that the parents not love them anymore. A saying - "To punish is to love". Well, I hope I need not to teach with a cane to Terry. If one day he is terribly naughty and not listen to me, I will sure spare the rod on him.

Yesterday, finally me and my boy make our first blogger meet with Darren and The Blue Ranger. For mummies, after many times asking for a meet up, finally 3 of us make it for this round. We brought our kids to met at IOI mall, inside the Jusco Kid's Adventures mini playground. It is a wide and comfortable area for kids to play and run with 2 inflatable castles, slides, sea-saw and rocking animals with the wall and floor padded.

Right after my boy wakes for nap, immediatedly we went there. Thanks my mum drove us there and accompany me else without her I couldn't turn up. I'm 30 mins late to reach there. When I saw Darren and Ethan, quickly I bought the ticket and let my boy go in and join them. Don't know what happen my boy just very scared and quite relunctant to let off and go join them to play. I can see Darren and Ethan enjoy very much running, climbing and rocking. When put 3 of them together, Terry was like being scared or what, or those other elder kids playing there try to pull him. Needless to say, he was first time playing at this kind of playground. I can see that he is not used to it. So, he kept on cry and cry, but that easy to calm down after I carry him away and walk to other area.

Try to snap a good photo of 3 kids, but look at my boy...
I just accompany him around to play the slide and the mini house. All he likes is playing the mini house's window. He feel comfortable running around there only. May be he used to play before in paed there. It is hard to get 3 of them together and snap a good photo. An hour later, kids started to get tired. We proceed to A&W to have a quick drink and the kids have some waffles and biscuits.

Terry is dead tired and lazing in the stroller without making much move after we bid Good-Bye. May be too tired to make fuss too. We continue to shop a pair of shoe for my boy. Since he started to walk his feet grow bigger now. It is time to buy another new one. After browsing at Jusco shoe department, can't get any we like. Then, proceed to Bata and get a Bubble Gummer beeping sandal for him. Still Bata suit my taste with good quality and reasonable price.

On the way back, we packed our dinner and finally Terry fall asleep in the car. I feel tired too run and play with him. A happy Sunday for us.

Fun time with Ethan and Terry

17 months old

Check, check, check! Yesterday is my boy's 1.5 years old and now I'm just updating his 17th month progress *slap head* what am I doing since last update. I'm not forgetting it. Just slow down in everything lately, sorry my dear baby.

Here are some of his growing during 17 months old. That's lot of changes.

Weight: 12kg
Height: 83cm
Teeth: up 6, down 8

Dexterity

• At 17 months and 2 weeks old, he officially walk unsupported.
  
  
• He takes more than 1.5 months time to learn from standing unsupported till walking. Now he can walk everywhere. But once he fall from walking, he couldn't stand up unsupported yet from the point. He will crawl to the wall or table/chairs and hold to get up then continue again.
• Walk with both hands up and very shaking.
• Like to hold on his push car and walk together.
• Can go up and down the push car by himself very well.
• When he wants us to carry out from playpen or bed he will pull my both hands put under his arm.
• Not using bath basin to bath anymore. Took shower by sitting on a small stool since before he able to walk. I just hold the shower head and spray. More fast and save water.
• Can twist his both hands saying for no more or finish. Sometimes still use his old hand sign which is open and close palm.
• Action he knows when we ask for - sneeze (a-cheow), ssshhh (ssshhh with index finger put in front of mouth), pat to sleep (pat his back).
• Push away the chairs placed under the table, tip the toe and grab whatever he can reach on the table, especially food.
• Able to chew more foods now like cake, biscuit, rice and bread. Think he almost ready to take rice like us.
• Since he started to walk, I insist to make him poo in potty once in the morning. So far he not making any big fuss when put on potty. I afraid that if I'm not do so everyday to make it a habit, once he can walk really well, he will stand and walk away from potty. I just place him around the kitchen while I'm preparing porridge. When I'm done my kitchen stuff, he will done his business too. Without need to sit in front, wait him to poo and "ng-ng" at him now. At times during the daytime, he still poo in diapers. He doesn't know how to tell yet.
• Can sleep throught the night without any wake now, not even slightly cry for water.

Emotions & Characters

• Will try to bite if against him. Like he don't want me to carry and he bite my shoulder. So far only twice kena bite.
• Will go real cry and fake cry for hard now. Very easy to get him crying whenever demand can't be fulfill. He will just cry non-stop until you give in.
• Night sleep time is getting late and late after he can walk. Whenever he not ready to sleep and being put in baby cot he will cry out very hard to come down for a walk. Once he walks he smile again. The sleeping time now is 12am.
• Will stay around the place where I am. He won't go bedroom if I'm in the kitchen. Just follow me in and out.

Language & Speech

• His favorite baby language - "tik-ko" and "buu-bak" (the later one since before 12 months old).
• Can pronounce "Sit" accurately. Bird as "bak". Park as "Pahk". Others not much. Call out Mama a lot, but not when I ask for it.
• When he babbling, he will ends his word with a "huh". For example like we saying "what you want to eat today huh?"

Diet

• Still eating porridge, 2 times a day.
• Milk 3 times a day. 6-7 oz each or less depends what time he eat porridge between the milk time.
• Snack - baby bites, fruits and yogurt.
• Drink less water now. Only drink like cow after having milk. For other times only suck a mouth if he likes, but push away most of the time.

Interest

• Open and close drawer, take things out, mess it and look see then put back, but not all. Then I will instruct him to put back and he will do that.
• Push TV and audio on and off button. I got to off main suits whenever he is out from playpen. Also put up high the remote controller.
• Pen and paper to sketch.
• When I sleep on the floor, likes to step or squat on me. Sometimes just fall hard between my leg and lie on my chest. Sometimes tend to crawl to my face also, but I pull him down.
• Like to ajak small kids to play run run with him and can mix in with kids now.
• Try to show him some flash cards and read him the object name. He can listen to you for few minutes. The next he wants to hold the card and mess with it.
• Once he watch something fierce, sound shouting in horror or dark, he will cry in frighten and loud. He don't like the cartoon "The Adventures of Little Brown Bear" (pic below currently a very short 6 mins interim cartoon) , he will just cry before the bear appears. Right from the trailer before the cartoon starts, he know that is the cartoon he scared of then his voice started to change. I got to quickly switch off the TV to avoid he get frighten every time.

Others

• Wear XL size diapers.
