My 2009 Chinese "Niu" Year

...is the most relax one, not going to anywhere far and everyday we slept until 10am. Here is the summary of my 2009 CNY.

24/1 (年廿九)
Hubby started to off work for 1 week, so this will be his only free day to go for CNY shopping. Morning he went to change new notes first, then settle some outstanding payment at management office, while waiting me and my boy to get ready.

At 11ish, we have our brunch at Sakae Sushi in Bangsar Village. Right after that we accompany daddy to shop...went to Mid Valley, got nothing he likes. Etcetera~Mommy bump into me and my boy. I'm so glad that got chance to met her in person. She is such a pretty and soft spoken mummy.

The boy started to get cranky, refused to walk and cry, as it was past his nap time. We not proceed to The Garden anymore, we went to Subang Parade. While on the way there, the boy manage to re-charge for few minutes. Hubby shopped at Parkson, while I accompany the boy at the Lego desk place in the Toy's department, daddy faster settle his shopping. Finally, he got himself a new shirt and a pair of Crocs.

Back home, not having time to rest at all. After settling some housework, we went back to FIL house for reunion dinner. After reach home from the dinner, busy continue the house work, ironing clothes, cleaning and get ready the red packets till late.

25/1 (除夕)
Back to Seremban (hubby's granpa house) for reunion. We started our journey at 11.45am, on the way to Seremban the traffic moving slow. We managed to reach Labu at 1pm visiting hub's aunty first. Chit-chat, eat CNY snacks, collect and give ang pau till about 1.45pm, we left Labu and proceed to Rantau.
Taken with aunty (3rd from right) and family
On the way to Rantau, the boy suddenly vomit. He did not show any discomfort throughout the journey. So, after he vomit he looks kind of relieve. I suspect must be "road" sick. Stop by clean the seat and change the boy.

Have lunch and dinner there. The boy refuse to eat the food I purposely cook for him early the morning, well didn't force him too. He didn't nap there the whole day (did nap less than 1 hour before reaching Seremban), playing with the nieces and cousins. After his evening milk and our dinner, we back home. The boy slept all the way till we reach home at 8pm. We rest, have Mc.D supper and watch Astro CH301 for the CNY count down till late, at the same time accompany with housework too.

26/1 (初一)
Back to FIL house is the first thing to do of the day. My parents went there too for visit every year. Upon reaching FIL place, the boy vomit again, same like yesterday. Now I know what he has been up to. His stomach caught wind. Hubby whole shirt and jeans all kena. I didn't as I'm driving. So, hubby drove back home again to change, bring 'poh ying tan' and pack extra new clothing for the boy. The boy show up at FIL's place with a vomit look and dirty new year clothing..what to do, quickly I bathe and change him there. Later, he happily played with 3 SIL till sweat again.

Daddy return after 45 minutes. My parents left first to my uncle's house in Bangsar and we stay on for another hour. Had lunch there (actually is breakfast, we reach late, so become lunch already). As a traditional manner, I will served tea, say wishes and gave ang pau to my IL. My stomach feel upside down, luckily is ok after some 'biz'. I think must be the dinner before night at Seremban, cause mIL and a SIL also not feeling well. After done all, we left and went to my uncle's house around 1.45pm.

Another round of hu-haa there. Again we have late lunch and man have drinking session after that. The boy enjoy playing and walking around. There are at least 4 same age kids (born 2006) play together. The time was just too short for me to catch up with everyone, cause I'm not there often to met up my cousins. My uncle's house is the place where all relatives met during the 1st day of CNY. Everyone will go gather there. Since we reach late, many of them left already. So I only manage to see a few of them.

The boy refused to take lunch like doesn't feel hungry after too much playing. Since morning he only have milk till about 4pm have another milk without taking nap too. We left at 4.30pm, boy nap on the way back. He managed to nap again like 20 minutes before we went out for dinner. I'm not manage to rest at all, need to do settle housework. So tired...

At night, dinner with FIL at Restaurant Flower Drum. We have our first 'lou sang'. The food were fresh and good. It is a CNY set dinner. The boy very hungry, wallop his rice very fast and he behave very well throughout the dinner.

27/1 (初二)
This is the day back to the wife's home. Since this year not going back to Ipoh (my mum's hometown), we got more time spent at my parents home. My 4th aunty also visiting. We had lunch together and chit-chatting with each other. Just feel so lazy to move. I ate non-stop...and the boy play non-stop. Again, no nap for him till everyone left. He catched a good 2 hours late nap before we went home. Gave my parents ang pau and had dinner there too.

Back home, fed the boy dinner and watch TV. Hubby went out drinking with his friend and end up road block around Cheras area for alcohol check on driver. Got fine RM200, those who travel same car with hubby shared the fine, cause all also drink.

28/1 (初三)
Supposed to join FIL visiting relatives in Kepong and Selayang, but hubby woke up late, so not join them for relative visiting. On the same day FIL and SIL all off to Bali for holiday. In the afternoon, after hubby settle some errand, we went to Jogoya at 2pm for hi-tea (late lunch). 3 of us spend RM169+ for the Japanese Buffet. 2 years ago we ate there for supper. Compared with 2 years ago, this round, the food is so much lesser choice, especially sushi and sashimi, no chinese hot boil soup, less choice for dessert, chinese and western dishes too. Feel a bit disappointed for the food choice. But overall the quality is still ok and we wallop lots of abalone. The boy not so interested in the food. He just ate fruits (a lot) and when he gets tired he kept pulling us to walk with him...thats also help us to digest. He behave well too, cause I reminded him thousand of times what we going to do. Back home with tummy full at 4pm. Walk across Pavillion, there is a big gold cow placing at the entrance and lion dance performance.

Boy managed to nap an hour plus at home. At night, my uncle spend us CNY dinner at Unique Seafood Restautant (23) at PJ. 6 tables of all relatives in a private room. Another round of 'lou sang'. Boy make fuss since woke up from nap till we reach restaurant, because of not enough sleep. He began to warm up when the food comes. He showed his ability to scoop and eat by himself. Again he ate very fast by himself and almost finish a bowl of big rice with shark fins soup and fish.

29/1 (初四)
Not going anywhere. Cooked lunch and dinner at home. Hubby went out visiting his friends.

30/1 (初五)
Wake up late. Book movie ticket at cinema through the phone. 3 years not stepping into cinema, a bit lost when want to book for ticket..hahaha..We watched Alls Well, Ends Well (家有囍事2009) at TGV, Sunway Pyramid at 1.30pm. A comedy that makes everyone laugh from start till the end. Hubby and me went for it only. My mum helped look after the boy.

Supposed to watch another movie - The Wedding Game (大囍事), hubby not so into movie mood to watch it on the same day. So we off to have tea-time at Old Town Coffee then went to PJ States to run some errand. Back to my parents home for dinner and pick up the boy.

31/1 (初六)
Today, updating blog and have a bit of time to online. Almost come to the end of CNY, time to get ready for work and back to normal routine again. Plan to do some grocery shopping today or tomorrow.

Photo Hunters : Hat(s)

The last annual dinner I attended in my ex-company back in year 2004. The theme for the night is Mad-Hatter. Many of us put up nice hat and dress up for the night. My hat is just a simple one, a white hat tied with some ribbons.

I miss all my ex-colleagues very much. During my working days I enjoy to work with them and we are close like friends. In future if I back to the working world, for sure I will rejoin them.

Sweet Goodies

Many thanks to this capable mama, I'm so happy over the MSN the other day, when she told me that my blog being selected to review a series of Teik Senn products. Min Hui in later brought over the goodies bag for me to try. These are the things:

Sun-Maid raisins and mini snack pack, SunSweet Pitted Prunes, Tulip Pork Luncheon Meat, Diamond Zipper Storage bags, an apron and a recipe book.

The recipe book show us how we can cook and enjoy the raisins and prunes in our meal, rather than just eat it directly. These products is not new to me, as I'm (and the lil boss too) a regular consumer for prunes and raisins. The Sun-maid raisin is the first snack I introduced to Terry. He loves it to bit and everyday he will sure ask a few from me. I never turn him down, as I know Sun-maid raisin are all natural California raisins that promotes good health by take a few everyday. This dried fruit can simply increase your daily intake of more fruit. For Terry, not only it work as a snack, it also a good food for me to bribe him whenever his mood flush up. Raisins has been accompany in his meal too when he is no mood to finish his meal or less appetite to eat. The mini snack pack is very convenient to bring along and keep in my bag. I can give him at anytime in ride or dining out.

Prunes from Sunsweet is another great products. It is one of my favourite ready to eat snack and also a must have item in gift pack, especially during Chinese New Year. The Nutrition Density Index shows that, prunes are having the highest nutrient among other fresh fruits.

Although I'm not regularly took canned food especially luncheon meat, but after I tried the Tulip Luncheon Meat imported from Denmark, not bad, I like it very much. I used it to fried rice and everyone at home love it. The ham are less fat and less salty too..it is so fragrant when accompany it in fried rice. Using luncheon meat to make sandwiches and burger I'm yet to it try, I'm sure it taste good too.

Diamond zipper bag in various sizes having lots of storage usage. It is a great to keep fresh food from being polluted and expose a lot in the air. Especially those meats, fruits and vegetable we have prepared and not cook/eat it yet. It can helps to maintain the freshness of the food. Marinated food in the zipper bag also another idea, whereby you can dump all the meat, spices, sauces and ingredients into the bag and rub in it. Packet food or snacks after open which need storage later can use zipper bag too. Sterilised utensils or baby bottles can keep in zipper bag to prevent it gets dirty again. I find that using zipper bag to store foods in refrigerator can save up a lot of space.

Thats all I want to share a little info on the goodness of these products. The Sunsweet recipe here, having a few delicious entrees which makes me so drooling now. Hope I can cook and share it with my family during CNY.

Getting ready for CNY

Days and times passed so fast, next week is already mid of January and after that CNY will be here. Mum have told me to have reunion dinner on 18/1, girl side always have to be earlier no choice. I already half way preparing. Curtains already start washing it since last month. Now left the spring cleaning to do from ceiling, windows to floor. Got to settle all by myself, hubby no time to help...well, will try to do as much as possible. Not going anywhere far this CNY, basically just relatives and friends visiting. Will also try to budget on buying CNY stuff. I just want a peaceful and simple CNY.

I already started hunting for new year clothing before the year-end sales ended last month. Luckily able to get all, some with discount. These are the new clothing for me and my boy.

Top from Mix Culture and Nichii, 3/4 legging from Nichii too and shoe. Total spend RM226


Poney Polo-T, Carters and Gap double sleeve top, 2 Miki pants, socks and shoe. Total spend RM192
Wearing pants or legging is still my best choice for need to take care of a active kid and I allow myself to wear short heel shoe this year. I had my hair cut last week at Shunji Matsuo again from Sunny and he gave me a heavy layered this round. Again, I so satisfied for what pro did (RM68 haircut only). My boy too had it before New Year and I'm still thinking whether want to cut it again when CNY near. His hair is getting long so fast. Bringing him for a hair cut is nightmare to me.

It was so terrible the last round. He knew that he will go for a hair cut and said want. Once the cutter move on his head, he started to cry, get louder and louder. No way to stop him and calm him with sweets and talks. He was pushing the hairdresser away with turning left right and bowing his head up and down to avoid the cutter, scissor cut also not allow when half way cutting. The hairdresser was so afraid to continue with his moving non-stop. Also, he tried to get off sitting my lap, hold my hand and want to go away pointing to the door. I got no choice, got to hold tight his head and grab him tightly. Still can't do it properly as he have his full energy to escape too. End up, I scold him in loud and gave a few smack on his lap. He was still moving a lot after that, we force to continue too. He sat on the floor to finish his hair cut and the hairdresser got to squad down to cut his hair...It was a war time during hair cut. I think the aunty also scared when seeing him walk in for a hair cut everytime...any tips can help to calm down a kid when going for a hair cut?

So what you going to prepared for this CNY? Been reading emails about the Mandrin Oranges with worms. Better becareful when we choose the foods from China like those biscuits, oranges, dried chinese sausages and duck, dates and etc..better choose and buy wisely. I will be start getting busy for the spring cleaning next week. Till then, have a nice weekend to all.

The Teviron Blanket

After long consideration and decision, we finally bought the pricey ION blanket back for good. The main reason also due to the new price list will commence on 1st Feb. Since we already have in mind wanted to bought it and we don't want to spend the extra later. Terry was on full Teviron garments more than a month ago, it started to show recovery sign on him. Speed up the recovery is something I really want to see. By add on this blanket to him, it is enough for his use now.

These are the questions I concern before getting the blanket. The deep burn scar, no any oral medicine can help. I foresee doctor will be giving those scarring cream and erace gel to apply later. Does these creams really help? Yes, may be it can reduce the scar marks, but how many tubes he needs in long term? Does it cause any side effect? Scarring cream also not cheap and it doesn't give health effect either. As for current, the Elomet itchy cream that he was having doesn't help much too in cure his itchiness. In the medication instruction, it even stated side effect in long term. For that reason, I have actually stop using that since long time ago and use other more natural ingredient gel and cream to apply when needed.

In thinking that, if we get the blanket, not only it is good for overall health recovery, it certainly help the skin and cell renewal naturally. So, it is still worth after all. Next time if he is not use, we also can take that to use. Natural heal is far better than medicine heal.

This is the single size blanket, RM2,280 member price. I was so happy for the blanket size as it can fully covered my queen size bed. So instead of Terry can use, now I also can share with him. This blanket having the highest ION energy among all other garments. It is the most worth-buying bedding products too as in price and size. Apparently blanket is use to cover on top of our body, but according to upline and user, sleep on it the effect is better than cover on top. So, for myself I also top up a set of long sleeve top and long pant (RM784) as pajamas to wear at night. It was so amazing how can a piece of cloth can produce ION charges. Really, when I rub and scratch on the garments in dark room, I saw green sparkling. So thats the theory of it, when the garments contact and rub on our skin, it produce charges and this ION works improving our health and body system.

All garments really cost a lot to us. But I know I won't goes wrong to invest in this health products which can be used for many years. Health is far more important that anything else. The more I read about the testimonials, the more I trust this products wholeheartedly. Sickness need to maintain with long term medication or some stubborn sickness over 10,20 years were recover using it. I'm waiting to see miracle on me and my boy.

I won't be back so soon to buy products after this round. Here show you the Nefful office in UBN Tower, Kuala Lumpur. The entrance

Good Bye 2008

Today is the last day in the year 2008. So far I feel that this year past in speed, may be is because too many things happen around and making the days past like you are not aware of it.

To me, 2008 is not a good year. But I should say life is not always smooth sailing. There are always ups and downs, good and bad. We still need to thank God for that, up to today we are blessed with health and everyone around is complete. When we are in trouble God is always there to strengthen us and at the same time we learn to have faith in God.

These are some "happening" things around in my year 2008:

Trip to Hong Kong and Macau (January)
We have spend great time travelling around HK, visit Hong Kong Disneyland and Macau. Although is just 3 days completely there, but glad we visit almost all tourist spots.

Terry's got Bronchiolitis (March-April)
It was developed after a 2 weeks cough. He went through nebuliser and taking lots of cough, phlegm, flu and medicine for asthma. We went in and out hospital and clinic for many times.

Terry's got Hot water burn (June-July)
This was the real worst thing happen in our life. His small body being hurt badly by 350ml hot water. Burn hurt covering 20% of his body in 1st and 2nd degreee burn condition. He went through skin graft operation, in out OT for 7 times and stay in 2 different hospitals. It is the most hard days to past in my life and up to now I still not get over the incident yet. Now he is on recovery with the help of Teviron products and start showing recovery sign on the deep scar.

Learn to Bake (August)
It was fun to bake cakes. But I still finding times to do and learn more. So far bake 1 cake before only (pai-seh)

Own first designer piece (November)
Yay! my dream comes true. I finally bought the Coach handbag end of November. It was a Coach Signature Hobo. This is my only handbag now and I love it to bits.

Blogging journey
Overall for paid post review and paid ad performance, this year just so-so, still better than nothing. There is nothing more happy that I know many great blogger friends out there this year, especially after Terry accident. Thanks for coming into my life and I truly feel your care and love. My daily task of online become more and more busy with so many blogs I'm want to read. Sorry for those I not drop by frequent. I still remember you. For those friends are here with me, thank you for your time and all your lovely comments.

Happening around the country and the world are,

12th Malaysia General Election (March)
I know I have not being a good citizen to register as a voter, but I'm happy with the result and looking forward for the new government to make a change to the country.

Sichuan Earth Quake (May)
The 7.9 magnitud earth quake almost destroyed the people and province. Collapse found everywhere, millions of dead and lost. Sad news to read for the entire month.

Petrol Price Hike (June)
It was like no body business the fuel price increased over night. I'm so sad government not doing a good job in controling the fuel price. Although motorists get the petrol rebate, but what can that little amount help with all foods and groceries thing's price keep increasing. It was something unexpected too that the fuel price drops, at least for now we should be happy.

Beijing Oylmpic Games 2008 (August)
The Opening and Closing ceremony was simply amazing and breakthrough across all sports game ceremony. An eye opening sports event to the world.

Melamine Milk Scandal (September)
The irresponsible manaufacturing in China making the kids in the world turn up side down. Many babies and kids suffer from kidney damage and in following of that other foods like biscuit, cereal, snacks are also found contain of the Melamine.

With that, this should be my last post for this year. I hope all the worst will become better, especially many expected the 2009 economy is going down and bad. Life is hard, but we still got to live over it. Wish everyone All the Best in 2009.

HAPPY NEW YEAR 2009 !!!

Disney Festive Fun-tasy @ Niu Ze Xui

It was our first time at Niu Ze Xui. This cozy lifestyle commercial area open last year and it is still quite empty. Good that the basement parking is free. I can't believe the road leading to this place is kind of tricky..need to turn don't how many left right in the housing area and pass through a small, dark and narrow tunnel. Hubby did find out from friend before going there. As seeing the heavy dark cloud on the way to NZX, I was so afraid it gonna to be a heavy downpour later. Luckily it was not when we were there.

We have our dinner at Station One first before buying entrance tickets, as there were slightly rain outside. Luckily the rain stopped after dinner. As usual I told the boy in the car where we going and what we going to see later and he did show his excitement on it. I foresee he should be alright for the night since he had 2 hours nap and also what he going to see is something familiar to him.

The crowd started to get pack when the rain stopped. Lots of parents and kids came to watch this Disney Lights and Lanterns. We bought 2 adult tickets (RM10 for adult, RM5 for kid. Below 90cm tall - Free). It was a small area, only 2 rows of characters display on your left and right. There are games and photo booth too. It was so disappointed, only 1 game booth is working. Here are the beautiful Land of Lanterns.

Animals Fun-tasy

Space Fun-tasy

Pooh Fun-tasy

Mickey Fun-tasy

Jungle Fun-tasy

Underwater Fun-tasy

For the boy, it was ok for the first 20 minutes. He kept quiet when he saw those characters he likes and he pointed to us when we named it. After the first pic snap (without flash) with daddy, he started to make fuss and want us to carry and walk non-stop. He not allowed us to stop by and snap picture for the characters...I really don't know what he was up to this time.

The fencing around the lighting area
We stand aside and talk to him nicely by telling him that other kids are very good and taking picture with characters. Later, he was more ok, but still demanding for carry, fuss a little and not allow to snap pic with him. Since we can redeemed a free photo with 2 adult tickets from NZX, we choose to snap one family photo in front of the Mickey Fun-tasy. The boy was back to his fuss actually. 2 shoots let us choose, one with crying face, another with cry+hand covering face.

We choose the crying one
We continue to walk visits all other characters despite his crankiness continue. So all pic turn out with him was crying and fussing one. After around 45 minutes, we left the Fun-tasy.

Once out there, he no more fuss. Both of us actually quite mad about it. But kid, what to do...hai...While I lectured him in the car and he can understand what his crankiness is all about. He not cry when I lecturing him. He even pointing his crying face on the paid photo when I asked him.

Overall it is worth visiting, just like a small Disneyland there. Disney merchandise is available there. A sourvenir shop is inside the Lantern area and some other small stalls outside too. The admission tickets also works as a cash voucher too, you can buy things in NZX using that. Festive Fun-tasy Christmas lighting will end on 8th January 2009. Follow by the Disney CNY lighting will on till 15th February. Its open everyday from 11am - 12 midnight.

Jesus Christ Birthday

Christmas, we celebrate the birth of the Christ child. God sent His Son, Jesus, into the world to be born. To others, it is because of this festive were too commercialise, many may feel that Christmas is all about holiday, Christmas tree, Santa Claus, gifts and party. Well, don't forget Jesus Is The Reason For The Season! Rejoice!


Choir team from Puchong Branch
Every year, we celebrated this day at church. Family and friends were invited to join and learn the true meaning of Christmas and Jesus. This year, our church celebrate it at the Lestari branch church, also the first time for the branch church there organising it. We have presentation by both Puchong and Lestari church members from kids to adults. Followed by short speech by Pastor and baptism ceremony. It was really a joyful day to see about 10+ members baptisted to declare themselve as Christian.

A simple buffet lunch served in the end. I also exchanged gift with some church sisters. Terry was not able to sit still, until I unwrapped the gift from po-po on the spot...(no choice, as he kept wanted to walk outside which is very hot). It was a remote control car. I just let him to hold on the car and later he quiet for a while. He not ate much of the food and overall he behave well. We left at 1.30pm, back home and nap. So Terry's gift no longer can wait till Boxing Day to open. Here is what he got this year.

Thanks Mummy Moon and po-po, he loves these car very much!
In the evening, daddy brought us to Niu Ze Xui at Ara Damansara for dinner and watch the Disney Festive Fun-tasy lighting. Coming up post will talk about the Festive Fun-tasy. Overall, we have a great day spending time together on Christmas Day.

Christmas Eve lunch

I counting the time when was the last I hang out with Mummy Moon. It was still back in the schooling days! I remembered we loved to go KL jalan-jalan with few others by taking public transport. It was so much fun go makan and shopping. Times really flies, more than 10 years we not hang out together. We do meet up in between but not for hang out.

I'm so happy we still keep in touch till today. Most grateful one, she was one of my blogging buddy not long ago. We share a lot of common now through blogging and because of that we keep even closer contact. Really, I treasure so much this friendship, somehow after leaving school, not many schoolmates' friend can keep contact for long. We not have many photo with each other all these years. Here are those precious one.

The one and only school day pic with Mummy Moon at 1994
During my wedding, Feb'05
At Mummy Moon's wedding Sept'05
Ok, enough of story between me and Mummy Moon before I out of the topic. Yesterday was very special, since after schooling years, we first time arrange to go out with our little one. We went to Mid Valley have lunch followed by gift exchange for the kiddo. The day before I already start mentioning Yan Yan (Mummy Moon's princess) to Terry, so that he familiar with it when meet up. So far so good, he having good time when we were there and get along well with Yan Yan. He not making fuss too although it was past his afternoon nap time.

Since the photo session with Santa was on when we reached, we not miss the chance and have one. My boy, he afraid of Santa Claus (even those hanging decoration too), I make a quick move when we on the stage for photo and try not to let him face the Santa Claus directly. He not cry, but he is not happy with it. I can't imagine how if he sit on the Santa's lap, sure we can't make for it already. The paid shoot turn out his head looking down.

This taken from my camera still better
Later, we have lunch at Esquire Kitchen then proceed to Boulevard Hotel which the place less crowded and let the kiddo to exchange the gift in front of the Christmas tree. It was so funny seeing them hold on the gift and we directing them passing to each other.

Yan Yan and Terry


Exchanging gift

Yan Yan can't wait to unwrap the gift on the spot and so do Terry. He hold on the toy car and not want to let go it. We shopped a while too after that. Thanks Mummy Moon for calling us out for this lunch and we really have a great time together. Terry was so tired and slept all the way home. Today, he still mentioning his friend Yan Yan to me...

Wish everyone have a
BLESSED MERRY CHRISTMAS! ..... 圣诞蒙恩 .....

Christmas Carol Night

Has not been joining the caroling team after having Terry. This year was Terry's first time with me attend the Caroling Night. We have set 22nd and 23rd as Caroling at a few member's house, but I only joined the one on yesterday, which was my mum's boss home.


There were almost 40 of us. The Carol starts of with Christmas hyms. In the middle of that, there were short sketch and tembourine dance accompany with it. Later, a short message shared by the Jr. Pastor Low and lastly end with "We wish you a Merry Christmas".

Party of food starts after the prayer. Since my mum work as a cook in the boss's home, so all the foods on the table were prepared by my mum (some bought). There were fried mee, mee hoon, fried chicken drumsticks, Rendang sotong, roasted pork, fruits and drinks. We stayed there for 1 hour and the carolling team followed to go on 3 more houses later. But, we couldn't join them till late. So we went home after that.

The boy behave pretty well throughout the caroling and he was so interested on the twins baby girl there. Keep touching the babies hand, pointing the babies's leg and also keep passing "chut-chut" (pacifier) to the babies. During party he ate a drumstick and a bit of noodles..he then started to looks tired and boring. Since 2 weeks ago, I have been start telling him "Merry Christmas". Now once he saw Christmas tree, Santa Claus, snow man and etc on TV or those hanging decorations, he will say "Man-neh Tek" (his baby language there again..), to me it is kinda cute...
