Is mealtime usually difficult?

It is getting more and more difficult to please children during mealtimes. Parents have to draw on their reserve of patience and creativity to coax them to eat right. Make food appealing and mealtimes exciting so that even the more fussy eaters cannot resist them.
It's all about fun
Involve children in grown up things. get them to help. Your child can help you lay the table and prepare the food. Use cookie cutters to cut fun shapes for sandwiches and decorate them with carrots and lettuce. Voila! Food that is fun and attractive.

Keeping company
Sit with your child while she eats; it is a great time for stories and bonding. Sich healthy distractions will make eating seem, less of a chore but give added value to family time.

Sharing responsibility
When your child gets to have her 'say' in what she would like to eat; she will be more willing to try new things because then it would be her choice!

Praising good habits
Be generous with your compliments and praise. Children will be motivated when they are showered with 'Well dones' and 'That's a good girl'.

Presenting small amounts
Fill plates with just enough to tempt your child to eat so that she would be asking for more. Piling plates high with food can be overwhelming.

Keeping your cool
Do not lose patience no matter how trying feeding time can be. Persevere and you will be looking forward to a peaceful experience.

Building the appetite
We all know that snacking is a favourite filler between mealtimes but keep snacks light and small. This way, children will still look forward to mealtimes.

This article taken from Enfamama magazines, it is quite useful. Hope it helps a bit.

What I can foresee is only when kid start reaching the age of 2 above will face such difficult mealtime, where they know how to choose things and able to eat by themselve. I'm so afraid to see those mum chasing their kid to feed during mealtime. Not sure whether they not being taught in proper way or that is the kid behaviour.

Once I saw my neighbor feeding her son in the front yard while the kid holding the water pipe and play with water. My friend told me that her daughter must eat in front of the TV show. The worst comes to my aunty, she took 3 hours with lots of chasing, running and smacking to feed her son for just a bowl of rice. I believe that is really a hell time for her. Another neighbor, her daughter need to eat the rice with chocolate chip inside. Really a lot of such case when come to feeding the kid. A lesson need to learn again and test our patience.

Are you addicted to Internet ?

You Are 52% Addicted to the Internet

You're somewhat addicted to the internet - but who isn't? You can keep it under check, and you're by no means a hermit.

Are You Addicted to the Internet?

I thought having a bit higher than 52%, cause everyday most of my time is in front of computer. Check mail, blogging and MSN are the most I did. During daytime I spend more time on the computer, towards late afternoon till night I won't on my computer, unless important things need to do. Somehow Internet and computer not my very main thing in life, but now with paid post plays in, really can't live without it!

A cure for coughing

Just went to see doctor again for my bad cough last night. At this critical time, I received an easy methods to cure coughing saying this:-

Don't laugh, it works 100% of the time although the scientists at the Canada Research council (who discovered it) aren't sure why.

To stop nighttime coughing in a child (or adult as we found out personally), put Vicks Vaporub generously on the bottom of the feet at bedtime then cover with socks. Even persistent, heavy, deep coughing will stop in about 5 minutes and stay stopped for many, many houses of relief. Works 100% of the time and is more effective in children than even very strong prescription cough medicines. In addition, it is extremely soothing and comforting and they will sleep soundly.

The head of the Canada Research Council described these findings on the part of their scientists when they were investigating the effectiveness and usage of prescription cough medicines in children as compared to alternative therapies like acupressure. Cough medicines for kids often do more harm than good due to the chemical makeup of these strong drugs. It was a surprising finding and found to be more effective than prescribed medicines for children at bedtime, and in addition, to have a soothing and calming effect on sick children who then went on to sleep soundly.

Someone who tried it said it felt like a warm blanket enveloped her, the coughing stopped in a few minutes and this was a deep, (incredibly annoying!) every few seconds, uncontrollable cough, plus she slept cough free for hours every night that she used it.

So, if you have grandchildren, pass it on. If you end up sick, try it yourself and you will be absolutely amazed by the effect.

Lonesome 6

Last night hubby took midnight flight to Shanghai starting his 6D4N trip, left me and Terry at home. I still very sick with cough till last night. I hardly sleep 4 hours due to terrible cough back again.

So hubby away, I got to stay alone in the house for at least another 3 days long before the weekend. Damn boring, and hard to cook with only myself eating. I'm not planning what to do like shopping or meeting friends, just no mood in doing anything in sick mode.

Supposed yesterday turns better. Don't know is it cause of drinking the soup cooked with chicken, midnight I cough till cannot sleep and go pop the cough syrup again. Really can't take it, cough till tears drop, short breath, nose block and pain in abdomen. See whatelse I can eat later. My throat really in pain after coughing too much.

Yeah about my coming Japan trip, it has been cancel. A bit sad, hopefully can go somewhere else before HK trip.

Knock-out name for baby girl

I was browsing over Yahoo! News and found this interesting one, a baby girl name Autumn Brown, carried 25 middle names. Lets read the full report.

The hand of a newborn baby. Baby Autumn Brown has a name to live up...

LONDON (AFP) - Baby Autumn Brown has a name to live up - in fact she has over 25 of them.

The little girl's mother Maria, in keeping with her boxing-mad family's bizarre tradition, decided to give her 25 middle names - all culled from the greatest exponents inside the ring.

Her full name, which left register office staff in Perton, Wolverhampton reeling is: Autumn Sullivan Corbett Fitzsimmons Jeffries Hart Burns Johnson Willard Dempsey Tunney Schmeling Sharkey Carnera Baer Braddock Louis Charles Walcott Marciano Patterson Johansson Liston Clay Frazier Foreman Brown.

Maria told the city's Express and Star: "The whole thing came about because both my mum and dad are obsessed with boxing and have a bit of a daft sense of humour.

"When I was young I couldn't ever remember my name. It took me to the age of 10 to memorise it all."

The 33-year-old mother added: "I'm hoping Autumn has a good sense of humour with her name. It's never done me any harm though."

Photo print on canvas

I still remember I have a task not yet complete during my boy's 1st birthday, that is to make a photo frame up with his first 12 months growth using scrapbook material. After found out that scrapbook material is kind of expensive, and I'm not good using it, so at the end didn't buy it. Now, I'm going to scrap it in computer and print it out. The most I worried is the print result, the color we used might not print as what we see in computer.

Since now having Canvas on Demand, I can send the scrapbook to them to do the photo enlargement and get it print in the size of 16x20 for free as an acknowlegment. Currently I'm still adjusting the scrapbook work here and there before get it print on canvas. Can't wait for it, this canvas gonna hang up on the hall. Later I will share with you the result of this canvas print. Stay tune!

Finding that gem of a babysitter

While some new mums can count on help from their parents or in-laws, many have to resort sending their babies to babysitters. Here are some ways help you along:

1. Talk to friends, family members or neighbours and get recommnedations. They may be able to point you to the right direction.
2. Once on the job, does she offer you feedback about how the day went with your baby?
3. Experience makes better babysitters. Ask for a resume, it can be simple chat about her past working experience, how long she's been babysitting or of she has children of her own.
4. Does she have references from happy parents?
5. Does she have her own toys and books to play and read to your baby? Good babysitters go that extra mile by spending a little money to keep baby occupied.
6. How does she handles about the caring of your baby? For example, what kind of snacks/food allowed, if your baby is allowed to be taken out and where, etc.
7. Meet the babysitter and check out the environment. Is there a suitable place for your baby to nap? Is the place baby-friendly?
8. Does she finish all her babysitting duties on time? Is your baby fed, bathed etc by the time you come to pick her up? Being punctual is a good indicator of a responsible person.
9. It would be a big plus if she was trained in or at least know a little about first-aid.
10. Does she ask relevant questions about your child? Questions about your child's habits and personality are good signs that the sitter genuinly cares for your child.
11. Does the babysitter exude warmth and friendliness? Is she positive? An engaging personality is a good clue that she'll be fun with your child as well.
12. Last but not least, go with your gut feelings. If it doesn't feel right, then don't push ahead.

Cough, cough, cough

Last week, after my birthday, first thing I got was I fall sick. Actually in the past week I already feel something not right, like easy to get tired. That day, I just own medicate myself, somehow able to get through it. But last week, I fail totally. First, I got soar throat, so I just bought some throat sweet for soothing and drink lots of water.

Who knows the next morning, I feel very very sick, throat getting more pain, head-ache, bone ache, fever, heart beat increase, sweating, body feel no energy, all come suddently. Went to see doctor finally and get some not-so-strong medicines. After take the course, fever all gone and left soar throat still recovering slow. The next episode is cough causing by the soar throat.

Starting from last Thursday till today, everyday I was cough and cough non-stop, till my tear drop, flu, almost vomit and wet my pant. I didn't back to doctor again. My mum bought me some chinese ingredient to boil water for soothing lungs and cough. After took that for 2 days, feel much better, but stilll cough on and off once for very strong one. Very terrible. Also worried that I passed the virus to Terry. Luckily till today he was ok, the thing is he will cry when I cough, scare of my coughing noise at night.

Today still coughing, wanted to boil the ingredient, but left out something, so not cooking it today. I've bought the coughing syrup, hope this is the final one I take to relieve my cough.

A very H@ppy BiRtHd@Y to ME!

Today is my birthday, in between Father's day and Dumpling day. Together in a row, everyday is a reason to celebrate. Last year today was a triple celebration, first time with baby boy.

Today feel nothing special, like a normal day to me. No one verbally wishes me 'Happy Birthday' yet. The first one in the morning wishes me from Amilia in MSN, then follow by some SMSes from friends. Later discover that a tag line in MSN as "Happy Birthday to ME!" blogger mummy - Jacelyn also sharing the same date with me. You know, not many someone you know who having the same year, same month and same day birthday with you. So far I only know Alex from Via Comm having all same with me.

During the past years birthday, if happen on working day, work not tied up I will apply leave as a way to pampered myself. If happen to be at work, it is not a boring day too. Friends, colleagues treat on meals, cards and pressie for me. I still remember all my birthday celebration during dating times. Really miss those single day's life when having birthday, cut cake at least 3 times and hoo-ha with lots of friends.

So, before I can whisper my wishes in front of any cake, just make some wishes to the air, hopefully in coming years all this can come true.

• Learn to drive again - have not been drive frequent since 3 years ago. Skill karat liow.

• A more healthy body and soul - eat properly, take supplements (E.Excel, Elken or Amway?) and more exercise (hopefully can enroll back to gym.) and read more books and Bible

• Learn to make Sushi - waiting to get all the materials

• Do better for being a wife/mother/daughter/sister/DIL/cousin/ friend - sometime I still think I bad in some area

• Contented myself as a SAHM - learn more things be it for child education, blogging, cooking and etc.

• Body shape back to what I wish for - can fit back my gown and most dresses

• 1st kiss from Terry - haha...like that also can...he haven't know how to do it yet.

Sounds nothing in material yet hor?

• Starbucks Banana cream coffee

• Tiramisu cake

• Spa treatment/massage

• Brand new set of facial product

• Gucci bag

• Blender - a great kitchen helper

Basically thats about it. Most important is to live everyday meaningfully and happy. Thanks to all who get to wishes me this morning, I'm happy as you can remember my BIG d@y.

Happy Father's Day

Last Saturday night went for Father's day dinner at Restaurant Pik Wah with Pang Association members, also the celebration are in conjunction with 52nd anniversary and issue of scholarship to Pang's student. Reach there a bit late, after President (my FIL) finish his speech, as Terry was taking evening nap till 7.10pm + raining and slow traffic.

That night the restaurant is full house, no place for walk in guest. The hall having another wedding dinner on too. Makes the whole environment are bustling. Terry non stop looking around with colourful light twisting when the bride match in and staring kids running around at the stage.

8 course simple dish, big portion and tasty. This restaurant although is old fashion and no high class renovation, perhaps when full house it is really cramp. But they wins with their tasty table dish and reasonable charges, thats why they still can survive till today.

No luck to get any lucky draw prize. Those prizes are all mostly sponsors by members. They are cash prizes, electrical products, vouchers, handphone and hampers. Everything ends around 10.30pm. Brandon not feeling well, still on medicines. For myself, the last few days also feeling uneasy. Not went for doctor, just own cure with chinese capsule. Now ok already.

Sunday, me and Terry went to church, left hub at home, since he not feeling well. At night, have dinner out with my family before heading home. Here, wishes all first-time dad, dad for many years, grandfather, great-grand-father, blogger Daddy a very

HAPPY FATHER'S DAY

May you continue to stay healthy and be the good father who faithfully support the family and covers everyone in the home with warm, loves and laughters.

How to stop or avoid flu?

Just in case you accidentally catch cold or flu, here having a secret tips to help you stop before getting serious. Somehow, no harm trying. If not getting better can still go seek advise from doctor.

If you start to feel running nose, sneeze, a bit head ache, thats the sign you are going to get cold or flu.

1. Quickly drink 2-3 glasses HOT water (as hot as you can take, cannot be in COLD), wait for 3-5 minutes later, make a coffee. Can be any type of coffee, a 3-in-1 coffee is the most convenient one. If don't have, coffee in can also no problem. But, must be drink in HOT (no ice!)
2. 20-30 minutes later, the water and coffee you took will make you feel want to wee (go toilet urine). Now, the miracle happen, your running nose, sneeze and head ache is slowly recover/ getting better.

Want to know why is this so helpful?

1. Coffee can make you get urine frequently, plus the water you drink, is help your body to clear and wash away the the virus invade and breed.
   
2. Coffee can makes you awake and improve your low immunue system, as a part of the virus is wash away through urine, your immune will slow gain back, therefore your flu is getting better.

Hope this help.

Blogging hits

Since mid of February till today doing on PPP, I successfully hit the first 100th posts with earning of $727. Quite happy about it, also with other paid post site here and there around 50 posts I have done so far.

For posting in this blog, not long ago just hitting the total of 500 posts. Consider very slow progress since September 2004 started this blog. If not putting paid post here, think it fills up more slow. Last time when first start to do blogging, only a few blogger visits. Those are ppl who also writing blog. I treat blog as a journal or diary last time, seldom invite close friends or friends to visit. Like a bit scared to reveal too much of myself.

Later after exploring more starting to know that, blog means share thoughts and feelings, put on things that I afraid to say out loud or get things to put down as memories. I started to expose more on blogging and blog hop during my days of pregnant. By reading many mummies, babies and kids story I started to open up with more topics to jot down. Up to today I have linked up with many mummies out there. We shared each other stories through blog and from there have make some friends. I find mummy blogs are more informative and juicy to read than those who not married bloggers.

After get into blogging, I've actually learn a lot of things, not only plain in writing. Without blogging, my SAHM life will be dead bore. Since I have the knowledge in blogging and doing paid post, when someone stuck in blog or paid post I will help up to solve the problem, answer their question and give them some essential guide in setup and roll on. In some days, ppl help me and now I help others who need.

Sometimes this blog also work as a bridge to get back those long lost friend of mine who write blog too. Hopefully in later time, I can have more topic to drop, especially contribute more posts about my life moments. Lastly, thank you to all my current blog visitors (silence ones too) who love my blog and giving support through comments.

William's birthday party + visits

Last Friday, one of my church youngster - William celebrated his 21st birthday. Since couldn't get to buy his gift before the day, so on Friday noon make a trip to Mid Valley to bought the gift.

Many of times want to pay a visit back to my ex-company, but all the while when I was there is either at night or weekend. So, that day since it still office hour, might as well take the chance back for a visit after shop for gift. Everybody so happy to see me and of cause Terry, some want to see him in person, as all the time I shared photo with them only. Terry boy behave well, a bit shy when ppl want to hug him and once pass to my colleague, straightaway cry for mummy. He still ok when ppl touch him and play with him. When I carry him, he is smile and talking there. Everybody loves to play with him and praise him handsome and tall.

Stay there for 45 mins then I left. "Big head prawn" me (hahaha...) I passed my driving license to get a visitor pass to visit office. Too rush when going back that time I totally forgot to took back. Left my license there overnight. Luckily there are member who work there, Chris help me to get back the next day.

During the morning, I was telling Terry to take nap then later go kai kai. I don't know why he just couldn't sleep for the whole morning as usual. Not sure whether is he know that we are going to kai kai and refuse to sleep. Somehow, after lunch he looks tired, he straightaway fall asleep when I placed him back to his cot. Slept for 1 hours+, my dad pick me up to the mall. He not sleepy until the 2nd feed at 5.30pm the time when we went home, he slept all the way back home in the car.

Attend the birthday party at night, good food and nice environment. Terry all night "mum-mum" non-stop. We back around 9ish, after change and last feed, he fall asleep immediatedly.

Paid-post progress

Lately I can claim that doing paid-post from PayPerPost is not that easy as when I newly sign up. With the new upgrading of opps reservation time to 6 hours, it greatly hard to grab opps now compare to last time it is now more fast to opps finished taken. Topic offer is another reason, not much interested to write, but due to the attractive paid, crack brain also have to write. Everytime whenever I login, the opps page is very colourful now, it is fully in grey and red (grey-opps available, but fully reserved. Red-Not available). Only left those not so interested one are in white or green, some are reserved for selected countries postie. Really boring seeing that.

Since PPP not much in favour now, I go for Bloggerwave and Sponsored Reviews to find more offer. Bloggerwave, very quiet now, only 3 opps offered, nobody rebut with you. I'm still hang there, not yet start take for posting. For Sponsored Reviews, it plays different, you take the opps for bid. Advertiser will then concsider whether to accept your bid then only can start writing. So, there is some waiting time there before you can do the post. Currently bid for 6 only did 1 of it, others are in pending or got rejected. For Blogitive, lately the topic offers are keep on repeating. Yes, we can still write about it, but it kind of boring to repeat it for the same topic but different text link. For Blogsvertise there are offered, one month one offer, currently there are 2 tasks yet to complete.

As for the moment, all paid post site I'm just doing fairly, nothing surprise, therefore earning is slow down too.

Ladies period caution

Took this from a forwarded email, some of you may have read it before. To me before and after PMS time I really quite particular. Like the mature time suppose to come, foods not be taken during the time and cleaniness. Lets see whats more from this message.

It has been a traditional theory that ladies are not supposed to wash their hair during their period. But there is no solution to the question why? The victim will only realise at their later stage of their life, facing the symptoms of breast and ovary cancer. Today ladies still wash their hair during their period with the thinking that they will be safe if they blow dries their hair. But this will not prevent them from getting the cancer. Please read the article below:

A well known Taiwanese medical professor specialise in cancer research based in a Japanese university did a survey on 30,000 per cancer patients. She found these patients are very choosy in their food, wash their hair during their period and carry heavy object and drink cold drinks. This will course the incomplete of ovulation and the remaining menses will turn into toxic and the imbalance of hormone will lead to ovary and breast cancer. During the research she found the method of prevention to these cancers. The secrets are:-

1) One must change their lifestyle and eating habits

2) Do not wash our hair while having period

3) Excessive bleeding must be investigated by a gynae, do not wash your hair just for the cooling effect and contraction of ovary.

4)No cold drinks if you feel drowsy, breast expansion and Constipation these are the early symptom of ovary or breast cancer.

To prevent use:-
1) Black sugar
2) Chinese lotus (leen ngau in Cantonese)
3) Carrot and
4) Barley

Boil to soup and drink. This is the best prevention.

For hair wash, at non-PMS day I wash it alternate day, and not wash only for the 1st day of PMS. Reason being the older said it caught "wind". After PMS, I will drink "pat zan" soup or "pak foong yun" to gain back to lost. The soup recommend above will try it out someday. Lately I try to improve my health more by drinking red dates water.

Passport renewal

Yesterday early morning, we went to Kajang Imigration branch to renew our passport. Since hub will go trip end of June and his passport is not more than 6 months validation and my passport due. Both renew together. Brought along Terry boy.

Reach there at 7.15am before they open at 8 am, line up the queue for getting the form. Wait till 8am, they open. Buy the form RM1 each, fill up then back to the long queue to let the officer check all document and get a number. The form is easy to fill up now, only 1 page. Not like 5 years ago when I did it, still 4 pages. After getting the number, need wait for 30 more numbers to go before us. We not going for breakfast also, since the number is going fast, even there is only 2 counters working for submission of document.

At 10.20am our turn to done. Upon checking, thumb print and submit photo, the officer said my photo is not latest, more than 5 years ago, cannot used anymore. So, no choice, faster go to a photostate+photo counter to snap a pic then submit to him. Without properly comb my hair, no make-up and dull look, get a snap of my 'chan' look. Don't care la just go for it. My god, compare the previous one, looks different. Look much old already la..hai..not dare to look for a minute longer..haha...

For passport collection, we can now get it on the same day, 2 hours after payment done at cashier. Later, for that 2 hours, hub back to office, me and Terry follow also. Luckily throughtout the day he not cranky, just look tired only. After milk he able to take nap on stroller. At office wait for 3 hours, after hub finish some works then we went back to collect passport. We not ate since morning 6.45am, only have a glass of milk and sustain till after collected passport at 2.30pm. Extremely hungry by then, faster sit down and order food. Hub went opposite the Metro Prima Kajang there to ta-pao Kajang Satay for dinner.

Terry tired running around with us, after back home, bath him then he slept for 3 hours. Hub end of June will go 6 days Shanghai and end of July we go 3 days Japan, both trip getting from sales target. Next year January is own paid trip to 5 days Hong Kong.

Check for more Imigration office at Selangor and Kuala Lumpur (Damansara and Setapak). The last 5 years I did at Wilayah Complex, KL was just closed down. To avoid pack and long waiting at Damansara especially, better go for Selangor area office. Heard FIL said Setapak one is still new not much people know yet, so no long waiting too.

Curry spaghetti, my way

Sometimes it is quite boring to prepare and cook own lunch, need to get pot and wok to cook for the little bit. After done, do a lot of washing then only ready to eat. It is just so tiring and wasting time and resources (water and fire). For a quick lunch, I always make spaghetti, it is fast and easy to prepared.

Soak the spaghetti for awhile, dump in water, put a bit salt and boil it till soft. Steam the dish and vege. Normally I will open a can of Curry Tuna or Tomato Chilli Tuna (from Ayam brand). Lately try out with Curry Tuna with spaghetti, it taste nice too, like having curry mee. It is fast and easy to do. No oil, less hassle and healthy.

Scam reported on news

Yesterday night, watched 8TV news, they have reported on this scam issue from China. A guy who actually kena too, but not fall on trap yet. He reported it. The scam he received almost similiar technique used in my case happened yesterday. The China Press newspaper reported on the China phone scam. According to the news I follow up on newspaper, there are 16 woman trap under the scam.

I've wrote a email to China Press too, giving them all the details and phone number I have, hope they can help the public to eliminate this scam and ban the scam organisation.

Professional international scam

*Sasha gives Terry a birthday scrapbook, pls scroll down*

2 days ago, a survey company from Hong Kong called my mobile asking 2 survey questions. I just give them my answer. After the survey, she taken down my chinene name, give me a lucky draw number (K23589) and invited me to attend a telecommunication event at Titiwangsa the next day at noon. So, I just listen and end the call without doing anything.

Yesterday while I'm cooking, the same girl called me from Hong Kong asked whether I'm at the event place, cause my lucky number being draw and get to win RM120K cash prize. I just said no I'm not at the event and couldn't make myself go there that time too. She said, nvm, tomorrow there will be a representative from Hong Kong will call me to verified things and claim the prize. So, just end the call.

I was suspecting it is a scam did already, I even inform hubby about this call, where got so lucky one to get a big cash prize like that. So, since I'm EFNTD, I just see what they going to play in cross country scam. I don't mind wasting my time and calls. This morning, a girl from Hong Kong office called me, SH.

SH: Good morning, Miss Chow.

Me: Yes, I am. Who is this?

SH: I'm SH, calling from 香港得利科技有限公司 (Hong Kong De Li Techonology Ltd.) You 've been inform that you won our 3rd prize which is RM120K, did you know that.

Me: Yes, I know.

SH: So, our company now, need to transfer the money to you and need some of your banking details. Since you are not there to received the cash check, the money are now deposit into a temporary account at Hong Kong Hang Seng Bank under your name.

Me: Before I let you go further, I would like to check whether your company is doing such work it is really giving out cash prize or you guys are doing some scam job there. How you get my number and why not a Malaysia company is participating the event, since you guys hold the event in our place?

SH: You see, you are not at our event place, it is hard for you to believe that we are not doing our real job here to give out good prizes. I understand you very much, HK also having a lot of scam did. The whole event is hold by our HK team, some HK sponsors and government ppl were there yesterday to witness the 20th celebration of their company for join venture in future that comes to M'sia. Over 2000 people are there. We are doing event there to make awareness. For you to claim the cash prize, you need not to pay for anything. The Global survey company get your number from your local telecommunication company, only a few number are called from the computer draw slot.

(Actually they are more question asked and things they prove to me, I just summaried it.)

After her long explaination on her company profile and being convinced that they are not doing any scam there. They hired Loh Han Jian Accounting firm as their authorized agent to deal with the Hang Seng Bank for winner to claim the prize. OK, since she said like almost real, I half believe it already. After she taken down my banking details (Name, IC and Maybank a/c no.), she gave me another number to call the Accounting firm speak to Mr. Loh to verified I'm the person with the cash prize HKD 273,900.00 (RM120K) and then they will contact the Bank officer to release the payment and transfer to my local bank.

So, I did call to Loh and follow on. Loh gave me the bank draft number and pin no. and ask me to call to Hang Seng bank to give them this temporary bank draft number and pin no. also for verification purpose. So I called bank, it is an answering machine, press 2, press 9, got the customer service people, read them all the bank draft number and he immediatedly tell my name is the account holder. He proceed to ask for the verification code (I don't have), ask me to get from Loh. I call again to Loh. A/c firm keep on having different ppl to speak to me, because everytime I called, they said the Loh is busy, then when the person called back is not the same one.

Loh called, explain the details how I need to claim the cash prize from Hang Seng Bank. He said, since the money is in HKD, they need to convert it to USD and convert it back to RM. The bank charge a fees of 0.3% (or 3%, I heard not so clear) on the transaction within International bank fund transfer. The 3% is equavalent to RM3680.00. I told the Loh, I don't have that much of money in my bank to do the transaction, how? Is it a possible not to convert to USD, Loh said, No. He suggested me to call back to SH and ask what the company can do to sort out the payment for processing fee. I yaada yaada the whole story to SH and she said no way they can separate out the money, coz the cash prize is accumulated from over 43 sponsors of the event. They have no right to break up the money for paying the fee and bank in the balance to you.

Then, I end the call first. I think again, it should be almost a scam did. Later I called to HK to get advise from my cousin bro's wife. Tell her the whole story and she said better find out Hang Seng bank number from Internet and call to verified such transaction, there is a lots of this scam running. Found the Hang Seng number from Internet, called again the "fake" Hang Seng bank first to find out their branch name before I called to the actual Hang Seng Bank main office. Called to the actual customer service, ask whether there is such Loh a/c firm appointed by De Li for holding the bank draft on behalf of the winner in your bank? The girl said not getting such information. I gave her the bank draft no. too to check and it is not exist. I gave them the Hang Seng bank WanChai branch number, she proved to me that is not belong to any of their WanChai branch.

Here are the set of phone number I get over the calls here and there,
00852 6635 5074 (Loh Accounting firm)
00852 6527 7946 (Tan SH, De Li Technology Ltd.)
00852 6635 3157 (fake Hang Seng Bank, WanChai branch)

She said all their branch having an exclusive prefix number and not start from 6xx, which is a cellular phone number. There you see, all the above number are handphone number, which is so obvious now, the Loh and the fake bank are having the same set of number "6635". This shows for sure is tipu one, a real big scam. Luckily I'm not too soft to accept such good money, although I'm thirst for big money now.

Just find out from Hui Sia, for HKD in bank transfer and convert RM bank in to M'sia, we do not need to convert to USD then to RM, can direct do from HKD to RM with some exchange rate loss and no such percentage charges. See, really tipu, luckily I alert enough to find out and get advise before kena tipu. In the find out call to Hang Seng bank I even report to the customer service to get the bank highlight on this issue.

Pls becareful, Malaysia also having lots of this scam did. But, lately seems like quiet down. Normally they ask you there and convince you to buy their holiday package/ product or like pay a certain amount to get the lucky cash prize. But see it comes to international stage now. Every month in average I'm getting once those local calls on free things, hotel stay, free medical check up, holidays..etc..but never entertain once. You see, next time when ppl said free or lucky draw, free means free no extra charge or bring you to other things. If door to door stuff, don't ever open your door, if free just put down and go. Nothing in this world can come so easy and free, after all, there is no free lunch, only air is free.

Nah, this one is really free. Make yourself there.

Birthday updates

Last Saturday morning, went to Management office to collect the function hall key while my mum was here to drop things for the party. During collection of key they told me that they haven't wash the hall yet. I was like a bit angry already, they confirmed me twice clean it first then only let me to used, but now last minute they said the cleaner no contract for cleaning the hall, they ask me to do it myself. It is so dirty and dusty inside. Damn! if you don't have someone to clean it why don't you tell me earlier, as the tables and chairs will reach in the afternoon, what you want me to do now, I clean myself? So the head of Management saw me so angry and knowing that is part of their fault to promise thing but couldn't be done, so he volunteer to clean it for me.

I bring down the broom and both sweep half-half. After done, he left. He prove to me that if I wash it couldn't be dry in a day. I don't care what he said, I still feel the floor is very dusty. I'm so particular in cleaniness, somemore tomorrow kids and foods are placing in, I don't want the guest sit in a dusty hall. So, I bring down the pale and mop, start wet mopping + fan wind dry the big hall by myself alone for 2 hours. My mum look after Terry for a few hours. I was extremely tired from shoulder to leg, after that cleaning...back home, shower, half dead already. Then, my mum left, I didn't rest continue to pump air for the balloons.

Later around 4.30pm the rental ppl call me as they reach for putting in the tables and chairs. So, I went down open the door for them. It calls it a day, Brandon back home late at 10.30pm having team building activity for the Insurance Agent, couldn't help me anything.

Sunday morning, wake up early tidy up the house, wait for birthday boy wake up, feed and bath, then went down to clean the 80 dusty chairs. Hubby refused to help in the hall for hanging up the balloons and arranging the tables and chairs. My mum reached in time to help me, else will gonna be doing it alone again. All he did just shift down some can drinks and chilling it, then went look see look see..and not helping in the hall...you tell me I tired or not, for him being not co-operative in doing all the heavy work, before and after (*piss off already, some argument is there*).

After I done my work, went up bath, prepared vege for porridge and changed birthday boy. My brother came, help me to pump air for more balloons and ask the waiter from catering to hang the balloons. Dad help me went to Ampang to collect cake. Mum help me feeding Terry while I'm busy running up and down, also carry down the heavy playpen. I really feel that I alone doing everything, without my family help I don't know how to turn on this party. Luckily my stamina still enough the sustain for the whole party.

Wait for my church pastor came, after blessing prayer for Terry and the party then all starts makan-makan. Guests were slowly arrived, some lost their way and direct them from the calls, entertain my birthday boy who refused to be carry by others or play in playpen, snapping photo, served the guest, chit-chat with them, you said I got time to sit down eat or not? I don't mind also coz host is like that one la...but surprisingly I'm not that hungry even after all hard work..after cut cake distribute to the guest. 30 mins later, the waiter told me they need to clear up by 3.30pm. So, since guest are almost here and not much of them are eating, so those can pack all pack up and distribute to some late comer and left a few for ourselve.

After caterer clear up, my family and cousin help to keep the tables, chair, pack up foods and taking down the balloons. I kept going up and down again to bring things back to home and later sweep the hall. Hubby went up with Terry put him to sleep then stay at home, take bath until everybody finish work he came down help to talk to the guard to unlock my mum's car kena clamp for parking at illegal area. End up failed ask them to unlock it, keep on asking for hall rental letter. We failed to prove it to them, cause when I collected the key, they hold back my rental letter. We also don't want to pay for unlock it, so unscrew the tyre and replace the spare tyre then those ppl only come to unlock it...I stay at home with Tess, the very last late comer who came after everything clear up as she is having 2 kids party to attended too, so just invite her to our house and served her drinks. Chit-chat a while then she left. I tidy up the left over food then sit to rest.

That's my busy, happy and unhappy weekend.

Happy 1st Birthday to Terry

Thanks Sasha for this birthday scrapbook.

* Photo updated *

To my darling boy, HAPPY 1ST BIRTHDAY TO YOU! May you continue stay healthy, happy and blessed with love of God. The whole party turn out well and everyone is hugging their full tummy back. Some not able to turn up and at the end of the party, the late comer got chance to pack the food. I only take a small portion. During the party, too busy with the guest and didn't really taste all the food.

A lot of pressie for Terry, mainly is toy and he enjoy playing with all kids. The whole morning he is not taking any nap until the party ends at 3.30pm. Eventhough he is tired, but he is not cranky there. I even bring down the playpen for him to sleep, but end up he not use for it. Cake cutting at around 2pm, everyone sing 'Happy Birthday' to Terry and he happy to see kids all stand in front of him and he began to clap his hand! The Snoopy cake is a orange butter cake. Taste nice! everything is clear up, only reserve the Snoopy house (cake) for ourself.

Everything ends at 4pm, before clearing up the hall, bring the birthday boy back to his sweet cot and he immediatedly doze off less than 10 minutes and slept for 3 hours. Thanks for my family in helping for the party. To the guest, thanks for sparing your time attended the party, your gifts and wishes.

Preparation for 1st birthday

Since end of last month, we already plan out how to give our little one a birthday party bash. Now, finally the day almost come. This Sunday noon will be the celebration. Ever since both of us agreed to give him a nice party, most of the time I myself get things done and confirm.

We invited mainly our family, relatives and close friends, counted around 90+ people. Cater food from Restaurant Talifon with 14 dishes including drinks and fruits. Reasonable price per head with free tables and chairs (as per pax ordered), but we top up more chairs. For birthday cake, I get to order from Mama Min (Intro by Sasha, her SIL) with Snoopy 3D design something like this and this.

For kids who attend the birthday party a door gift will give away. I bought the Snoopy gift items from eBay. Snoopy handkerchief from HK and Snoopy sticker from US. Looks like many Snoopy hor. Yes, I want it that way, since he was in my tummy I promised to give him Snoopy things for his baby item. Very sorry to him I couldn't buy him anything in Snoopy. May be our country not so fansy with cartoon character item like Hong Kong or Japan, it is really hard to find. But I just couldn't think that, those second hand pass down baby stuff from here and there, have Snoopy in it. Like his cot bumper, singlet and rompers.

The gift bag not only have that 2 Snoopy items, there are sweets, cute pen and Snoopy keychain (this bought local). See the drawstring gift bag, it is hand-made, sure not buy from anywhere. I bought the Organza cloth meterial and string, my mum sew the bag, and I did the rest of finishing work, like sewing the small bear at the right bottom corner and putting the string in. A lot of work hor? but with planning and time I'm able to finish since 2 weeks ago. Another thing is actually I was so tempted to get him a set of Snoopy boy set from eBay for him to wear on his birthday, but at last not buying it.

We rented a hall downstair at our apartment here. Don't think can fit so many people in our small house. Rented hall is the best solution and also not to make the house mess up after party. What so bad is the hall no fan and light (will double confirm again). Saturday will getting the hall key and place in the our own table fan and stand fan first. Luckily the hall full of windows think should be alright during the noon time with all window open up, it should not be that hot. Sunday is daddy's turn to do his work that is to tie balloon at the hall. Well, I still need to pump air for the decoration balloon and some for kids to play.

Own print birthday invitation card and phone calls have been made since last week. Think all should be done now. Fun or not? I don't know yet, hopefully everyone will enjoy it and finger cross that Sunday will have a nice weather.

Before Terry turns 1

A few more days to go before Terry to turn 1. As I calling my guest to attend the birthday party, everybody was said like, har..so fast...1 year old already. See, thats how time flies.

As the days goes by, he really grows and understand us a lot. Lately, he able to learn those simple actions we taught. His famous baby language is "buuu bak", I don’t know what it means. He has been talking it since like 8 or 9 months old. He can call out this anytime, at time when he excited he shout it out, he wants your attention he say it and whenever we ask him to say it certainly he will repeat after you. He knows how to clap hand now, so cute when he did it. I couldn't record it down as when I hold on my camera, he won't do anymore just want to grab my camera and start crying for it. When I said, how to fart (fong pei) he will said "buup" and then patting his front. It was started when my mum fart he heard it then he says out the "buup".

2 weeks ago, started to let him watch TV during daytime. Since daddy brought back Barney VCD from Indonesia trip, so I on that for him. It is in Bahasa version (Indo slang), but songs are all in original English. He can watch that over and over again for weeks, I was like, how come he don't feel boring at all...This is the his first Barney VCD.

Everyday watch twice at least - morning and noon. Yesterday night, when I'm watching chinese drama, he make fuss there after his dinner, don't know what he wants. Put on bed - cry, don't want, carry - don't want, sit on lap watch TV - don't want. Just like everything is not right, so try to make him watch TV and said there is small kids there (for small kids, I will tell him that is little friend 'siao peng you'), he can quiet down for a moment. After a while when he couldn't see any small kids on the TV he will cry again. So I know what he wants now, I said come watch your Barney, straight away he excited and talking there, wait for me to on it and see how his eye glued to the TV.

Yesterday was breaking record, watch Barney for 3 times. Soon will be monopoly my TV time. He really love watching small kids. The Holicks ad he loves the most since like 9 months old. Whenever he was lying down and heard TV got Ho-Ho-Ho, straight away he jump up very fast and watch the ad. Even when heard from radio, he will also get up fast and stare on TV. He must have thought that, ei, how come TV blank one, coz all the while he was watching from TV.
