Happy 5th Birthday to Terry

Happy 5th Birthday !!!!
I'm so glad that God gave me a son like you.
Lots of hugs and kisses to you on your birthday.

My baby boy turns 5 last week. He is still my baby no matter he is at any age...of cause I think at this age, he still allows me to smooch kiss him, hug him and smell him...I need to treasure all this young age of him too, cause very soon he will feel shy when I did all this to him...haha..He is now a schooling boy that know a lot of things, enjoy learning at school and enjoy his growing up age.

This year doesn't have much plan for his birthday celebration, 2 days before his actual day, I did told him coming Friday is his birthday. On the actual day, after I fetch him back from school in the evening, he actually looks quite sad and sobbing without seeing a cake yet after waiting for whole day long.

My plan was to bring him out on the next day Saturday and get a nice cake from RT Bakery. But, just before I able to do that, Daddy silently has all his plan in mind, after I showered him, step out from the bedroom, we saw a cake and a big bag of presents on the dining table. He jump with joy and can't wait for blowing the cake and open up the big bag. Here I let the pic speaks...


Orange cake from Kings


Quite a number of candles, he found it hot and burning standing near the cake.

Shop from Gymboree

Gymboree, a baby and kids fashion brand that not found in Malaysia. Thanks to Mummy Moon who has been started organizing group buy since sometimes ago. Now, I can enjoy some top quality clothing for Terry with cheaper price.

So far here are my loots, all bought during sales.

The item price (inclusive of shipping cost from US and US-RM conversion rate) comes almost the same and some are even cheaper than the regular brand I got here. Just like the green vest, it is hardly to get that kind of design here and it is only RM35!

After a few bought from Gymboree, I think I will stick to shop here first before I scroll down to the mall. What I will do now is, mark down some favorite items and when sales almost here will send my shopping list to Mummy Moon and she will do the rest. Once again, thanks Mummy Moon for the great effort in helping many of the mummies out there for kids clothes shopping.

Gentleness Touch of Comfort by Kleenex

I was so delighted that I got a chance to be the first few trying out the Improved Kleenex Tissues. After the long waiting, finally it is on my hand a week ago. I was a bit surprise when the courier man handed me a big box from Kleenex.

Thanks Kleenex for cherishing us for not only comes with a special designed Vintage-themed box of Kleenex facial tissue and also a very comfortable Kleenex pillow.

You can now see how Terry love hugging the it in his own comfortable way. It is way too comfortable just like the tissue.

In my day to day life, I have been reminding Terry the importance of personal hygiene where to wash hand, wipe clean the mouth after eat and especially when having flu; to clean the nose after sneezing. Sometimes he dislikes to be wipe as he has been complaining to the regular tissue makes his nose red, torn when wet and the impurity smell.

The Kleenex tissue is simply great here to ease all his complains now. The soft touch, strength, high absorbency and odorless tissue quality has been encouraging him to use whenever I called for.

He is much happier, enjoy and willing to practice self-cleanliness. Now he knows which box tissue to pick up for me on the hyper-mart shelves.

Days after CNY seems like going slow..hmm, why? because pocket is almost empty and counting down to pay day is still need to wait...arrghh...well, I already tighten my purse and try to spend less.

Proud of you

Lately, Terry love to hum a song every now and then. I was quite shock when I heard the rhythm of it is a popular song by Joey Yung - My Pride (容祖兒 - 我的骄傲) in Cantonese. He was singing the English version and comes with the hand actions. Some of the words he not really can pronounce it clearly, but the lyrics of it is really sweet and meaningful..

Share it with you here along with the YouTube -



Love in your eyes
Sitting silent by my side
Going on Holding hand
Walking through the nights
Hold me up Hold me tight
Lift me up to touch the sky
Teaching me to love with heart
Helping me open my mind

I can fly
I'm proud that I can fly
To give the best of mine
Till the end of the time

Believe me I can fly
I'm proud that I can fly
To give the best of mine
The heaven in the sky

Stars in the sky
Wishing once upon a time
Give me love Make me smile
Till the end of life
Hold me up Hold me tight
Lift me up to touch the sky
Teaching me to love with heart
Helping me open my mind

I can fly
I'm proud that I can fly
To give the best of mine
Till the end of the time

Believe me I can fly
I'm proud that I can fly
To give the best of mine
The heaven in the sky

Can't you believe that you light up my way
No matter how that ease my path
I'll never lose my faith

See me fly
I'm proud to fly up high
Show you the best of mine
Till the end of the time
Believe me I can fly
I'm singing in the sky
Show you the best of mine
The heaven in the sky

Nothing can stop me
Spread my wings so wide

Later, I come to know that this will be one of the song he going to present in his school concert on coming 24th Oct. Looking forward to it...

Lantern. Mooncake

....representing the Mid Autumn festival, the actual day will fall on next Wed 22/9. Have you taste the many new flavors of mooncake coming up in this season? I have tried a few from KLT and find it so nice, the part where it is less sweet.

The boy has brought back 2 lanterns from school, one handmade and another one Japanese lantern pack with candles and stick too. Last Friday night, lit it up at the balcony for him to see. When I try to place the candle in, he told me "Mummy, Happy Birthday"..haha..He got so excited and keep admiring it. He feels that with candle one is more interesting than the electronic one.

Closer look of the handmade lantern. Did in daycare during the school break before Raya.
Electronic Ultraman lantern with bubble blow loud music
Found one thing about the candle, if you think the candle wax will spot on your floor and you got to scrub it off after play. After the 2 candles finish burning from the lantern, I don't find a single spot of the wax drop on the floor! Wondering what is it make off and is it a new thing?

When there is no plan on holiday....

Long holiday has been making us lazy, lazy to wake up, lazy to cook and clean up. No special plan on this long weekend, just do whatever we like following the mood. Since woke up late at 10am, eating buffet just came into my mind. Call up my family since everybody free and there we go to Jogoya for Lunch Buffet. This was my 4th time eating there and finally my wish came true to bring my dear mummy there to have something good. Always wanted to go, but can't find a right time. So this impromptu plan just nice.

My brother drove us there. Public holiday still kinda quiet in town, no crowd at Jogoya. It was RM78++ for adults and half price for Terry. We have a good 2.5 hours yakking non-stop. This round I got a more peaceful mind to eat and slowly taste the food.

The variety range of food is almost the same, they have Natural New Zealand ice-cream, Haagen Daz ice-cream and Cocktail too.

Thumb up for the steam crab
Terry has been warned before out to be good and behave, he ate whatever he choose (yes, he has been choosy nowadays, from what to wear to what to eat), got him some beef spaghetti, sweet sour fish fillet and a bowl of soup. After his on-going chinese med then he took 1 hour+ nap across 2 chairs.

We hugging our full tummy left at 3.30pm. I don't think I want to eat my dinner tonight. Have a slow walk back to Pavilion and at the same time check out new shoe for Terry, but no faith in getting any of that.

Yesterday (10/9), the boy has been mumbling to go train ride (has been promising him for LRT train ride which not able to make it now) and shopping. So we brought him to Sunway Pyramid after lunch. He just can't leave the place whenever he saw rides and especially car rides. So let him go for it at this Beryl's Chocolate Land.

and temporarily train ride on this till I bring him to ride a real one. It works as for now he has been stop asking me day and night.

That's how I spend my Raya holiday.

Good and bad

I was been told that a toddler need 2 year time for their body to develop to adapt to the schooling environment. Thus in this time, they may fall sick easily and the body also take time to build up the antibody. This is so true to Terry. He has been fall sick frequently since the beginning of his kindy days. Based on the clinic’s receipt collected, realized that no fail he will got sick once a month. He was down on common sickness like fever, sore-throat, cough, running nose. But not this time…

It was started since last Tuesday at 4am suddenly his forehead so warm at 38.5'C, without wait any longer woke him up for paracetemol. The fever got subsided in the morning and since he is not looking tired at all, therefore no MC and goes to school as usual. The condition has been continuing for Wednesday and Thursday too whereby only mild fever, no serious running nose and no cough at all. I (and the daycare teacher) only fed med when his fever rises. He still able to eat and play normal with minor sign of tiredness after med. I was suspected that he might catch on a regular cold. Friday comes, this day he looks different, watery eyes and fever is no sign of subsided too.

So send him to his paed without make anymore guesses and dragging it for another few more days, also I started to get more worried with such condition. Doctor check him everywhere, throat – no sign of redness or ulcer, nose – a bit block, press below the jaw line – no sign of swollen. So doctor recommended that either can take some med go home and monitor for few more days or take the flu test. I was a bit reluctant also when comes to flu test, but I still let Terry took it. Result – the strips shows 2 visible lines, one of the lines falls on B. He confirm caught on Influenza B. OMG!!! what a Black Friday to us. I took a deep breath, continue listen on to paed’s words and took the instructions on meds. He also added that, Influenza B is spreading now and everyday he has few patients caught on that.

The medicines: Antibiotic, med on phlegm, flu, cough and Simplex to mix with the powder from capsules. 5ml Simplex to mix with 1 capsule powder, take 3ml of it only. If no vomit sign then only take the rest after 1 hour.

Check and confirm with his school Principal, no one caught on that at school (paed told me that his kindy got a case). Me and my mum take turn to on-leave to look after Terry since he needs to off school for 1 week (till this Wednesday/ Thursday). He is getting better now, tomorrow need to go for check up again to make sure that he is fully recover. Thanks everyone for your well wishes to Terry on FB. Hopefully he will be all fit to back to school, he has been missing school and friends day and night, asking me when he can go to school and he even sobbing when I told him, it is not the time yet.

Aside from depending on the meds, I also got him the Brazilia Green Propolis from organic shop (RM40 for 10ml size). It works to help boast the body’s immune system, prevent sickness and diseases. Doctor did advised me that I’m on the risk of getting it, so I'm taking it as well.

Some update on me. I just got my employment confirm this month with an increment too ;) though there are some up and down and hiccups at work, I’m very glad that I have "angels" (my 2 good seniors) to stand by me and help me out. So far I’m still doing well on the job. Other than that, I’m still striving hard to get my ME time, it seems not so balance yet out of my working life. Those ME time after work is all about dinner time, cleaning and to catch on an early rest with my boy. I don’t really got a time to blog hop and update posts (as you can see reviews are flooding now) and slowly not even Facebook (office has block on accessing FB and YouTube) on weekdays. The only limited ME time which I have was fall on those alternate Saturday which I’m not working.

My latest investment for my health is on the Teviron Eskimode series. This is something I wanted since I'm start using the negative ION product.

A long top and long pant cost RM1500. I wear this as pajamas to re-charge and keep me fit.

Last but not least, wish everyone well. Hopefully I can update more soon =)
