Team Building 08

This is a very back dated posting.

My company organized team building every quarterly, but most of the time is only half day event. This quarter was good, we have 2 days 1 night stay at Pangkor Island, guess boss wanted to reward us for 1 year hardwork contributed to the division.

This was first group trip that i had since graduated from school, felt like going back to school. LOL!

Since it was only one night , i let Gary stay in Baby sitter house. She is really helpful and happy to help me. At first i worry Gary will give troublesome to her, but luckily Gary behaved as a good boy. Relief~~~

The whole group of nearly 70 peoples headed to Pulau Pangkor on 27th Nov (See, it was so backdated :P ), we travelled in a bus, looked ok too. We arrived at Lumut Jetty about 12pm, the weather was good, windy and not too hot. It's about 40 mins ferry ride from Lumut to Pangkor Island, i hide on the deck all the way from Lumut to Pangkor.I had very bad experience in my last visit from England to Paris via Dover, it brings me dilemma on nausea ever since then.

It's much better to catch the sea breeze in open air.....

Don't we look like those 18-22 young girls? :)

Pangkor Island still look as old Pangkor Island, there is not much development i can see...compared to 10 years ago.

I was surprized that the Hotel that we stayed has changed to a Malay management group, and my comments are-"Do not expect more",as long as the room and environment look clean and hygine.

Telematch games started at the seaside, it's only 3 minutes walk from the hotel after we had lunch . I bet there are not many people come here for team buiding , as the instructor was lousy and the whole arrangement was bad.Well, despite of these, we had fun too!

But the best part was the cycling tour that we had after the telematch games....We rented bicycles from stalls by the road side, you easily can get one..there are plenty. But just a 2 cents opinion from me, please check properly and choose the new bike... most of the bikes are rotten.

Pangkor island is having a lot of hill side and the road are winding and steep, it is a very tough exercise to have a bike tour go around island. If i remember correctly the whole round island trip is taking like 3-4 hours. Due to lack of time, we had only 1.5 hours ride...and you know what 1.5 hours for 1km distance, will it be to slow....or are we too old?

The dinner come with Karaoke session, but a few of us "ponteng" from the event. We sneaked out to the beach, we equiped ourselves with red wine, peanuts and snacks...We talked about office gossips, futures...a lot of laughters.





P/S: to Poo Daddy, the pondok still there, next time will not be only 2 of us but add one more member to be there- little Gary!

My Birthday

Yesterday was my birthday, the first birthday that Poo Daddy was not with me.I thought it's going to be a boring and sad birthday for me....Even thought of buying a birthday cake to celebrate with little Gary.


It turned to be a very special birthday.....My best friend purposely drove down from Ipoh to visit me on my birthday, together with her were her parents , well...we know each others since i was 14, close to 20 years frienship now ....Can you imagine?I'm very sure our friendship will last forever. She bought me a present with very nice wrapping, though from the look u will already know what is inside :) I can not remember exactly how long i did not received a birthday present which is wrapped with fancy paper, i guess more than 10 years......Present from Poo Daddy were always a immediate pick from the mall...No suprise :)
We had great moment ....had lunch at the mall and little shopping, very warm celebration.I hope we can have more time to spend together, too bad was she needs to leave and resume to work on Saturday. I think we should have meet up more often coz we have endless topic to talk ...

Oh Yes, Gary mets them too. Wow, my son likes uncle very much , do not even bother his mame...Will definitely bring Gary to visit Uncle & Aunty during CNY.

Wait........ it's not end yet.

My best colleagues and friends organized a birthday dinner for me and another friend, Ruey Fen -who is having the same brithday as me ....It's not easy to meet some one who borned at the same day, same month and same year with U!!! And i did!!!!
The brithday dinner was hold at Good friend Seafood at Teluk Kumbar, all together we have 10 persons (including Bit Tie's family and JuChin's family). I had a lot of food, it was awesome...definitely put on weight, great lunch...great dinner.....What else???Birthday cake!!!!There was a very humorous incedent happened when all of us singing birthday song, suddenly i heard very loud voice singing "Happy Birthday to....KhaYan and Bit Tie"??!!!!I was like har???Did i missed out anything? My blur blur friend - Ju Chin changed the birthday beauty to Bit Tie instead of Ruen fen....Muahaha....i can't believe it! Ruen Fen marked this birthday forever in her memory ....No one gets angry, just felt impossibly funny. This going to be joke of the year!

Thanks everyone who made my birthday so memorable....

P/s: Thanks for all the greetings from facebook, sms....

My brother's wedding event PART 2

Here come the actual wedding day.

Early 6am in the monring, i woke up my 2nd brother to pick up the pre-ordered " Golden Pig" from the market plus some market shopping on fruits and flowers for prayers.

Everything was so rush, i prepared whatever which neccessary in place and rushed back MIL home to get dressed and also to meet up hubby to come together in a "family form". Gary woke up,was playing with parents in liw, so excited when he saw me.....raised his hand to give me a "5".

I rushed to bathroom,had a quick bath....then put on some make up, not even started to put lipstick, my brother already calling for help to ask my hubby to drive the wedding car. So...quickly get myslef done left to my father house, phew..still on time!

But.....gosh..only realized taht i have forgotten to bring the jewellery that i bought for the new couples, call for help to go back MIL home to get, on the trip back i join the crowd of picking up the bride....

The funniest part was the groom have forgotten to bring the flowers, muahaha...how come? :)

Finally everything was ready and the groom successfully holding the bride's hand walked out together after went thru some challenges set by the bride's maid..Too bad i wasn't there to witness.

These pictures were taken by Poo Daddy, looks good ,right?

Oh....i should talk aboutGary key's task on the wedding day....

My brother specially arranged the hit "Tam Toong" session for Gary. He of course doesn't know how to do it.... but assisted by me.

He was very excited with the "Tam Toong", he put his hand inside and tried to look for precious in it...

Dig....dig...dig.....see what i found?!

Yeah, i found it!!!!It's a Longan!!!He was happier to find a dried Longan than an angpao.

As my brother wanted to settle everything in a shot, so we had a wedding lunch after tea session, all relatives and guests headed to Reataurant after the ceremony, this arrangment is good also for those who came from out station, it's more convenient in term of time management :)

I can't comment much on the dishes served from a famous Restaurant- Restaurant Mun Cheong, coz i did not taste all the dishes..was going around from tables to tables to "yam sing"..What a waste?!

Special remarks :

Does this ladies look alike with me? Of course she is prettier, i can't ignore this.She is my cousin sister (daughter of my mum's sis). Everyone were saying we both look so alike....Guess some features like eyes and mouth are quite similar...

Her son is so handsome, his name is "Han Han"....

My brother's wedding event PART 1

It has been long time that i did not update new post. It was busy in my personal life as well as my working life..In one way, busy is good but busy in working life do not promise me anything...My company already announced there will be no pay increment next YEAR.....I was expecting a bit of adjustment, but ended up "ZERO". But some said, it's consider not so bad as there are company out there cutting employee's pay....Is the market that bad? Are we really insulated from our government? We seems not knowing how is the world out there doing......


Last weekend was my brother wedding, it was long long time ago that our home having merry day as now...I guess the last big day was my wedding day. The wedding events were nice....we met long lost relatives...friends.


It was a 3 days events, the first day was wedding dinner held in Sungai Petani, the dishes were lousy ....and i did not take all the dishes.



Then 2nd day we had Bachelor nite at Ipoh home, my father asked one of his friends and my aunt to be the chef of the nite ...to prepare buffet dinner (100 pax), i was surprised on what have been presented....everyone likes all the dishes, especially my faher's favourite egg tarts.






Me and my 3 brothers were so busy running around...serving the guests, replenished the dishes...rushed to nearby shop to buy soft drinks...we thought we should have enough :P. Though is a bit messy, but everyone had fun and happy.



Other than the groom to be, my son was another focus person, he was like a star, to be brought around by my father to tables for introduction.My son has a very good character which makes him so "dai-sek". He does not rejecting , any one can carries him and he will still smile at you like this....




By the way, i have forgotten to intorduce something here, Poo Daddy bought a brand new DSLR to capture every single family moments that we could have....He said this is a present for me.(well i antipating one more birthday gift ..hee..hee...) He is learning photography now...so that i can have better pictures to post on PooPoo family blog. Many thanks to Poo Daddy.

So, stay tuned.... to see more nice pictures in my blog :)


The Bachelor nite ended at 12am, after all the cleaning was already 1am..

Choice of your life

In our working life, we meet all kinds of people....with different different characters.It's ok if you have annoying peers, you can try to avoid having much interaction with them. What if you have irritating boss? that's the worst thing in your working life!How to get rid of this? No way.......either you choose to leave .....or you stay on and become numb with all the naggings...


It's your choice how you want to live your life....Well, I choose to stay .....and become a wood... Bleah.....Bleah.... :P

December Rojak......

It's already beginning of December, month of festive season....We have Hari Raya Haji....My birthday :)......Dong Zhi and Christmas. So, December always the happiest month in a year. This year due to the world financial crisis, a lot of sectors are affected, our company can't escape from it either. My company planned to have a plant shut down, but this is yet to be officially annouced , but my big boss is so volunteer to shut down ourselve, i can't imagine we as marketeers need to go on holidays while other counterpart continue to work?! What kind of weird arrangement is?! I have 6 more days which subjected to be forefeited this year, so will take this chance to go off...
Poo daddy booked me the ticket fly to Shenzen during the shut down period, i guess it should be good to hear that i finally made a decision to fly over......All these while i'm still pondering....shall i go in Dec.....or i shall make the trip happened in February..bla..bla... Now, the flight is booked, VISA is done...so what i need to go is just pack and go. Gary will be staying at MIL house for around 2 weeks, hope he will be "kuai kuai".
I'm not so keen in visiting China, but more to Hong Kong...Muahaha. Hubby can really read my mind...He knows i want have big feast and a lot of shopping in HK....Muahaha... Hubby will definitely stop me from buying unneccessary things....Well, he will say :"Wei, save the money, buy stocks better! "...He eyed on a smart phone with GPS for a long long time liao, but he still keeping his money is pocket., he said this is not a necessity...see first....see first... :) He is indeed a cautious thinker, he can spend years to think and do survey before he knocked down for any purchase for interest.
This year will be my first birthday without hubby's presence....so sad :(
Will I get my birthday present this year? i don't know ....coz hubby will mostly call up and greet me "Happy Birthday!" and present will come later when he is back...he will bring me shopping and i choose a present for myself and he will pay for it...There are hardly surprises coz he has phobia to buy me present, i complained a lot on what he bought for me...fuzzy woman :)
Nevertheless, this year i have little Wong accompany. Well, father is away, replaced by little Wong....

Gary addicted to Chut Chut (Pacifier)

The first time I let Gary to use pacifier was when we were home from confinement center. I thought i will be cool enough of not letting him to touch on pacifier....Oh, i was over estimated myself.LOL! I ran out of idea when i saw him crying in the middle of the night.....so i did a lifetime wrong decision >>>to put in a pacifier in his mouth...But since then we have silent nights.... :)


I was s guilty looking at him sucking on the pacifier, i do not know why...maybe i feel shame on myself or maybe i felt like i educating my son to touch on "drug" by myself. I wanted to stop using pacifier for several times....But failed to do it coz there are so much influences coming from baby sitter and MIL....Noises like "let him be lah, it's ok one.....2 years old then only stop will not be too late one..." ," it's easier to take care baby if giving him chut chut";" his gum is itchy, it's cleaner to bite chut chut than biting some other thing".......stuffs like that.


I'm so regret now, Gary likes his chut chut so much, he is already addicted to it, whenever he thinks he wants to go on bed.....he crying for chut chut...When he see it, he quickly grasp it and put into his mouth. He will surely cry when i take out from his mouth...


Tell me......what the best way to wean off chut chut? I'm now start cutting down the frequencies of letting him chut chut. I rather to carry him around than putting a chut chut in his mouth when he is crancky.Hope my baby sitter and MIL is co-operative to get inline with my direction. I'm hoping to wean off the chut chut when Gary is 1-1.5 years the latest!

Words to Poo Daddy

I'm in early 30's, but longing for retirement, so do my hubby....

We are planning to work till 40s then will have our retired life, or worst case half retirement. In order to hit financial freedom, we have to struggle a lot now, work harder..save for rainy days and hubby sacrificing his comfort zone and a very good prospect work but to suffer alone at overseas now.

At the begininning, people look at us in doubtful eyes and disagree with our decision, no one is supportive in what have been decided, I feel sad as well with the decision...After several months have passed....i'm still surviving...a ha....ha...LOL!

What i have to say is, life is definitely hard without my beloved hubby to be around all the time, but compare to him, i'm still somehow better. I have Gary to accompany andI'm looking forward each day...to see how he learn new things, to see how he laugh...he cries....

What Poo daddy is having each day is work work work and only able to catch baobao smileys...and stone stone face from his pc. He is counting down each day for his home trip....Me too!He is taking all the blaims to leave me and Boabao here alone, i surely know it was a heavy decision for him. So as a understandable wife i have to be inline with his desicion though it is damn hard for me...

But now i finally realized it's also not easy for you, hubby! Your life is so empty now without me and Gary always by your side.....Don't worry, i will not scold you anymore......but to listen to u,ok? :)

I believe in you, we strive now for our better life in future!With holding hands together, we step on the finishing line,ok?Kanbate!

By the way, on top of the retirement plan, my 2nd honey moon plan still need to come true! Don't let me down..my personal fund manager...heehee...

How to gain weight?

Gary is one size smaller after few days suffered from Roseola.His cheeks are no more chubby and his Michelin rings on his arms are longer exist. As a mum, i always want him to be healthy plus ...chubby, greedy mame :)


I have been surfing on the net to look for recipe for gain weight..apparently most of people are saying Pediasure is good for growth. I'm still pondering to go or not to go for Pediasure when he is 1 year old. Pediatrician said all formula milk are the same , those high end product may have better marketing strategies and gimmics. But being a kiasu mum i always want to give the best for my baby if i'm affordable. Will it be too early to think now, Gary is only 9 months old :)

Kind a strange picture here, mame is dying to slim down but in the other hand is thinking all ways to gain baobao's weight.

Roseola

Sorry for the silence. Things has not been so bright since Monday. As mentioned in the earlier post, BaoBao fall sick , he is having high fever.
I brought him to see doctor on Monday, then Tuesday we went again after received a call from baby sitter saying baobao temperature still high and also vomitting when having his cereal.
Doctor said very likely is Roseola....First time hearing this sickness.....did some research...

What are the symptoms of roseola?It's possible to have the virus without having noticeable symptoms. But roseola usually starts out with a sudden, relatively high fever, often above 103 degrees Fahrenheit.
The fever typically lasts three to five days and may end abruptly, followed by the telltale rash. The rash may last for days or only hours.
The rash is pink and may have small flat spots or raised bumps. These spots may have a lighter "halo" around them and may turn white if you press on them.
The rash isn't itchy or uncomfortable, and contact with the rash itself doesn't spread the illness. It's usually seen on the trunk and neck, but it can extend to the arms, legs, and face.
If your baby has roseola, he may also be irritable and tired and have mild diarrhea, a decreased appetite, and swollen eyelids. The lymph nodes in his neck and at the base of his skull may also be a bit enlarged. In general, children with roseola don't appear especially ill, considering how high their fevers get.
About 10 to 15 percent of children with roseola have a febrile seizure. If this happens, your baby may become unconscious and jerk his arms, legs, or facial muscles for two or three minutes. He may also lose control of his bladder or bowels.


Today is the 5th day, Baobao Temperature seems stable now, no more feverish but diarrhea visited him yesterday :(
He was having loo for more than 5 times yesterday...it was so watery....then this morning 2 times already for 1 hour duration, so i brought him to see codtor to get some diarrhea medicine, Doctor were so nice, he gave me 2 tins of Similac samples for Gary, he can't take anymore lactose, this will make him worse....So soya based product is a wiser choice.

I'm so heartbroken seeing my baobao suffer ....his chubby cheeks no longer there.....He is already at the lower end of weight chart, now is like a kitten :(

Any recommendation for babies to gain weight? I must pump him like a ballon to grow to a big boy.

Friends were telling me that you will see your baby suddnely grown up after he/she get well from sickness ..Hope this will come true!

Me fail as a mother

Yesterday was a tiring day, my parent in law were in town, to visit their grandson. My FIL just came back from China so he quickly drove down to see little Gary. We went to QBM after breakfast and had more than 3 hours shopping in there.

Gary was so happy to go "Kai Kai", i did not realize that he was actually having fever. I could feel his body was a little bit hot, but thought myself was over sensitive, coz when i put my hand on his forehead, the temperature was quite normal.

We went home nearly 3pm, then i used a digital thermometer to measure him, oh Gosh! He was 38.2 deg C. Me, being a mother , who so careless to overlook this, i can't forgive myself....some more bringing him to Mall without wearing proper long pants and socks. I really feeled sad that i let my child to suffer more than 3 hours in the mall.

I gave him medicine, but the fever was like come and go....it reached the peak to 39.3 deg C this morning, i was so scared....use a damped cloth to wipe his body, but guessed he din feel comfortable with the cold feeling, so he did make noise....Without thinking twice i brought him to GP...waited for more than 1.5 hours for our turn.

Luckily doctor said it's viral fever, and would subside normally after 3 days, well, i still need to monitor him closely...

I blamed myself of being silly to listen to MIL to bath him at 9pm(after the dinner we had in a hawker center, coz MIL said he was smelly after came out from the hawker center), then me brought him to the mall....without warm clothing...This is the first time that i feel "I fail as a mother"!

Sorry, baobao....mame made u suffer.....no next time ,ok?

BaoBao still actively playing with me , did not realized he fall sick :(

See, he looked gorgeous in Red!

My lovely Baobao ......

Gary fall down from Bed

This title sounds terrible.....but in actual it is not :)

Last nite in the middle of my sleep...i heard a sudden sound of "Bom"....followed by baby's crying sound. Quickly jumped out from my bed....looking for Gary. He was lying on the floor, the other side of the bed.

Oh My god, my poor baobao fall down from the bed out of no where...I looked at the clock, it was 4 am in the morning. I immediately checked on him , he seems ok, no red spot on face or bump on his head. He cried for like 20 seconds, then quiet back, lie on the bed....on and off checking if i'm sleeping beside him (He didn't get back to sleep immediately, but woke up and see if i'm beside him), I patted him a while then he fall back to sleep.

I do not know how can this happened, i already put all pillows around my bed, there are pillows wall, so he shouldn't be rolled above and crossed the wall?!

I guess i have to abandon my current bed but to set up another deb on the floor, what i'm thinking now is folderable mattress, sleep like those Japanese on tatami. This look more tidy that i can keep the mattress in proper manner after bed time....I do not want the room looks so messy, need to look for good mattress this weekend.

Gary going to be Ninth Month

It has been long time that i did not update my blog. I was busy..busy...and busy...but looking back now, what have i done? Can't recall at all.It is always like that..u seems like very busy, but do not know what you were busy on....nothing remarkable. :)

Gary will be 9 months old the coming Thursday, time flies, isn't it? The next time Poo daddy come back will be also celebrating BaoBao 10 months birthday. I love BaoBao more and more everyday, he is so lovely and adorable, of course sometimes will show his tantrum, but this mame likes to see his angry face too.

Look at his face......so cool.....frowning again

This cheeky baobao likes to see himself on the mirror, laugh...at it..talk to himself..so funny.

Laugh Happily....

Papak is teaching me how to drive.....

Gary is a "tam chiak lang", always wanna eat eat...eat..but not drinking a lot of his own milk milk, he is still drinking 5-6oz, 4 times a day plus 2 porridge meals. On top of that, what adult having , he also would like to have a share, though he just had his milk one minute ago. Bread...fruits...crackers....he will not reject anything that put into his mouth. As long as the food is not too sweet or sweetened , i will give him some....... to make him quiet :) Haha..this mame so bad, actually not lah...also like to see him eating happily :)

Oh..i should capture down hi seating face next time.

He is quite sociable, not afraid of strangers...Everyone who offers a carry to him, he will definitely raises both of his hands, smiles at people with his cheeky look ( open big big mouth, showing his 2 little teeth and with line shaped little eyes) He knows to waive bye bye, claps his hands when we said "pai pai shou" , crossed his fingers and shake shake when we said "gongxi gong xi"...Hee...this is important skill, Chinese New Year is near the corner, must take a lot of ang pau with this :)

Depends on his mood, sometimes he willing to kiss me when i said "kiss kiss", but most of the time he ignores me, really "sui chai". Oh well, his kis will definitely melt your heart :)

Gary starts his first step

Gary is 8.5 months now, just a brief update on his development. He is 7.8kg during his last visit to doctor, it was 2 weeks ago. Milk intake is still 5 to 6 oz, nothing more. He takes porridge 2 times a day, an adult rice bowl everytime.
Mobility- he crawls since 8 months, pretty good in using his arms and legs, like those army training...what is that call?He sometimes on all fours, but not dare to move his body with that.
He stands steadily with one hand holding on sofa or...table top.....and last week, he started to move 1 , 2 steps with hands holding on sofa.Hee...mame so proud of you!

And about my ear infection, damn it...still in pain..and can feel there is a lot of discharge in there. Doctor said no need to take injection , just continue the medicine and ear drops, but i still have 30% pain wor and feel itchy....Grrr.......will have follow up visit again this Friday.She asked me not to dig it again, but me...."beh tahan" lah, so itchy!!!!

Ear Infection

I can't believe myself get ill because of ear infection, my right ear started with mild pain since last Wednesday, and i thought this was no big deal and the pain will slowly go off, erm.....I was wrong, i wake up on Friday morning and found my right side of the face numbed, the pain get more serious than what i thought.
I requested the company in house doctor to write me a referral letter to visit an Ear Nose Throat specialist, and she did it for me. I went to a nearby hospital, did not opt for the most famous specialist in town, coz i really in pain and do not want to waste the whole morning waiting for my turn to see the doctor.
Dostor said i have serious infection and my ear is totally swollen, she can't even reach inside to see the drum....pretty bad ..huh..This infection may caused by my bad sinuses lately, my ears..got itchy...and me always dig my ear. ..bla..bla...She asked me to admit for 2 -3 days for antibiotic injection, and i refused. No, i do not want to spend my weekend in the hospital, what about my son? So after all the bargain, she agreed to give me oral antibiotic and i will have follow up visit on next Monday. If the problem do not get any better then i have no choice but to stay in the hospital...I pray very hard that i will get better and heal very soon :(
Today is the second day taking the medicine and ear drops, pain is getting a little better, i would say 30% improvement, but it's really discomfort with a ear plug inside my ear. (This ear plug was inserted so that the ear drops can reach the infected area better). I still on and off feel the pain like "bee sting"in my ear. I feel tired , a bit feverish and no appetite at all , this could be the side effect of the medicine.
How could this happened to me, Alex teased me..he said "Ya..u are a super mum, you can't not fall sick at all...or else no one will take care of your son!" I feel super duper sad......Hope everything will be fine when i wake up in the next morning.

Lunch in Continental Bakery

Today i had lunch in Continental bakery, .....Yeah, u are right, we had lunch in a bakery shop.
This is not an ordinary bakery, they are not selling only bread and pastries but also serve nasi lemak, spaghetti, soup and coffee...
I have heard people around me commenting how nice the nasi lemak, wanted to try for long time, finally did it today.
One serving of nasi lemak consists of 1 pc of fried kampung fish, one pc of curry chicken, some ikan bilis, hard boiled egg and ladies finger, and it costs me only RM5.50 with a cup of herbal tea together.Well, the serving is just sufficient for a lady, for guy maybe u can add a bowl of soup or...a pc of pastry, they serve very nice chicken pie too.

Some little update on my baobao, hee..hee...this blog suppose to note down his development milestone....but becoming my diary now :)
BaoBao changed his sleeping pattern lately, he wake me up every 6 to 6.30am, he will first roll to me....touch to see if i'm beside him...followed with a kiss with his forehead...i wonder why this stupid fella do not know how to use his lips....warm morning kiss to wake you up in the morning.
Did my hubby do that before?!!! Got ah?! Dear??? Mame forgotten liao :)

Baby sitter on half day leave

Today Gary's baby sitter need to take half day off to attend a relative funeral. I do not want to waste my annual leave into this purpose, so i asked help from a very good friend's mum, and she has no problem to take care of Gary for a day. Hooray!!!

I sent Gary to Dylan's house about 8.30am together with maid, he was still half awake, poor baobao ...his sleep always being disturbed in early morning. He first had a quick check (look around the house), actually Dylan and his family are no stanger to us..but maybe the last visit to Dylan house was 2 weeks ago, Gary needs to refresh his memory. LOL!

I accompanied him for a while then left to work about 8.50am....Then came back to him during lunch hour, he seems ok....and maid said he finished the whole bottle of milk.Good Boy!

It's a tiring day today, lots of work and a lot of rushing. I feel there is always rush in my life, everything i do ..i rush, like tomorrow is aleady end of my life :) I tried to learn to live my life slowly but this bad habit came back to me very soon. Those elderly said.....your life will be short if you live in hustle,i guess i have to learn to live like turtle.

First thing to learn stay cool, "Yoga" will help me , yeap.."Yoga". I re-enrol myself in yoga class,to stay healthily, i need exercise, i found there is a early evening class conducted in my company where i can join and still manage to pick up Gary before 7pm. But again, i need to rush....Oh, Gosh! How to avoid of rushing, rushing and rushing?! I hope i can be determined to attend every yoga class, well, i need to be thick face too as i will need to leave office 5pm sharp.....No more teleconference after 5pm....say "NO" to boss when he ask for meeting.

Bravo,Gary.

I brought Gary for his routine injection last Satuday, I'm indeed a kiasu mum, early 7.30am went to register so that we can be the first top 5 visitors. :) , I put down the registeration form on top of the counter coz nurse wasn't there yet.
There are still plenty of time for me before i go home to pick up Gary to the hospital, so i went to nearby wet market, bought breakfast for me and maid.....still got sufficient time to wander around at market.
Found there is a new stall selling "Teluk Intan Chee Cheong Fun", heard this long ago but didn't have a chance to try.....well, it's good time for me to have some, i bought 1 roll "Mengkuang hebbi" and "Gu Chai hebbi", later found that "Gu Chai hebbi" tastes better, will sure buy next time when i see him.

Again proven that i'm right, we were the second on patient list ....hee..hee... I do not mind to go 2 rounds to the hospital, this save us time from waiting in the hospital for hours, and Gary can catch more sleep , moreover i can have him bathed and fed before he has the injection.

But we still need to wait for about 45 minutes, Doctor Lim was late....

Doctor said Gary's development is pretty good and he looks healthy (erm..i keep my fingers crossed). He had his second jap of Pneumococcal vaccine, and my dear baobao....so happy to see Doctor Lim and his nurse, kept kicking his legs and laughed laughed. At first i worried that he will cry coz Doctor said this jap will be quite pain, so i tried to distract him by playing "peek a boo" with him...but this got him to more exited....and legs kept kicking and kicking, better stop playing this :)

Then this little fella were so keen on what doctor holding in his hands...."what is he doing on my lap?", so he pulled himself up from lying position....Oh My god, Doctor was injecting him, and he pulled himself up..I was so scared that he is going to hurt himself, my heart was pumping fast.

I didn't hear sounds of crying, not at all. My brave boy just been quiet and sitted up right from lying postion till the injection was done! I'm so proud of you, Gary!!! Even the doctor also praised our brave baobao :)

Oh well, this will be the last injection for you before 1 year old, next visit will be only blood test. I asked Dr Lim to include the G6PD Deficiencies check too, hope this is gone.....and back to normal.

Daddy and Mame love you!

Baby Photo shootings

Last Sunday, A friend of mine helped to take some family and baby photos.He suggested we go to Botanical Garden, we were there early at 9am....this was my 1st time to be at Botanical since married...and first family trip to be there.


To my surprice, Penang people are so healthy......a lot ppl jogging, morning walk.....at the park.


We are lucky too to see a few monkeys near the entrance, according to my friend, it's getting harder to see monkeys in Botanical Garden nowadays.



The weather was good on last Sunday, it was raining like dog shit for the past one week, as normally do during 9 emperors celebration. We are happy to see the sun shine again on that day morning.

One of my favourites, "Father and son"

Gary was quite cooperative that day and we able to snap some best shot for him...

Till we put a cap on his head.....he showed black black face and tried to pull down the cap.

So happy when daddy let him climbed on the trunk, he can be like the monkeys too..just can't swing swing...far like them. :)

Eeee..both mame and daddy's feet so dirty :P

It was fun ...and many thanks to Boay .....we like the photos very much and this marked a very sweet memory for Gary.

1 day Cameron Trip

Hubby was back for home trip last week, it was a nice ...warm holidays that we have had.

We went to Cameron Highlands on last Sunday, this was planned for months to bring Gary to have some breathtaking scenery and cooling weather. It could be due to Muslim fasting month, the crowd that we normally see was not there....well, i would rather said..it's quiet.....not many stalls are opened.

Gary slept all the way from Ipoh to Cameron Highlands, good boy.....like his father..sleep like a pig once goes into car :) I guess he is still too early to notice the environament..green scenery difference compared to cities, so overall it's mame and MIL were happy to see..flowers.....farms.

Naughty Bao2 caried by daddy on the way to the car after visiting Strawberry farm.

Strawberries are on cheap sales on that day!RM10 for 2 big boxes , all freshly picked!

Wearing new cap that i bought from Germany, erm..having his favourite Chut chut....

Before heading back to Ipoh, we dropped by my cousins farm....we were at the right time to be there coz harvesting season for Chrysanthemums and "Choi sam", we took some back...it was so nice and fresh.
