we were invited to dinner today

i had running nose. ummie fed me my dosage and i slept through the day. another reason for the long sleep would be due to Nadya killing my slumber with her high pitch shrills...

.

yesterday we went out shopping and ended up with a soccer match at their place way too late. i slept in Nadya's room. she would wake up screeaming for attention. i got startled and cried miserably. its no fun to be interrupted like that. what if i had to live through it everyday.. what if ummie had a second one... nightmare...

.

back to the today's dinner...

we were back at Nadya's place. my body started to heat up. i was running a fever up to 40 degrees. everything was a blur. i cant remember what i played with Nadya either. i think it was someone birthday too coz there were presents and many great food. but thanx to me we left early. the dinner was heating up with a game of scrabbles..

too bad.. next time maybe...

look i dont enjoy getting sick either...

goodnight

bed bugs

don't let the bed bugs bite

as embarrassed as i am. i need to write this down

my bedroom is plagued with bed bugs - fleas - pijat

.

it has been going on for more than two months now

.

firstly my hubby got big sores, bintat besar giler, in the morning

we thought it was mosquitoes lurking under the ikea plastic table

we sprayed and leave it as that

.

then weeks later we noticed missy got it too

.

i never had any. maybe my babies have sensitive skin or they dont like AB+

we bought all sorts of ointments

i change all the sheets in the room

every pillow or towel available goes in the washer

we moved to the master bedroom

we have been sleeping in the game room all this while

.

now when one feel any itch

we would jump into action

we would scutinize for any fleas

.

sometimes missy still get it so i change the sheets again

missy sleeps on a matteress on the floor

.

then last week pinky slept on my bed and got sores all over her body arms and legs

that creepy monster had a feast! feeding on my skinny pinky...

that concludes the fact that i got creepy crawlers aka fleas in the room

.

now which room?? game room or my bedroom!!

i was scared shit.. has it infected my whole house!!

.

we have seen it. its like a tiny mini cockroach. translucent body before feeding

with blood filling it, it looks just like a roach

now we have seen babies of it!!

.

i went to ikea contemplating to buy a new bed or matteress or HOUSE!

.

we learn to keep our cool

we spray the bed panels, chairs, table, everything in the room with baygon

its been goin on for a week now

we concluded it is in the game room bcoz pinky was playing the Xbox that night

we also asssume that it may be in our bed too

we will do this in stages or we end up sleeping in the toilet!!

.

so we left nothing to chance

we are 'sunning' all mattress and even chairs

.

still in the battle for now

if you have any suggestions do voice out

kampung ppl would have a great solution

where did it come from? i thought it would have face out in this concrete jungle

want some

nanny dragged us to VivoCity

shopping on weekdays are over for ummie

she is learning to accept crowds now

it doesnt matter to me much

as long as someone cater to my needs

like eating yummy biscuits...

want some?

ummie didnt have a good meal though. there was a stapler in her meal. she knew one may still be stuck in her teeth. but she was too busy entertaining me. plus.. to stage a complain among the crowd was too 'mafan' so she walked away thinking a check in the mirror will do fine. to her horror she had chipped her tooth!!

too bad ummie. its ok Mr HewlettPackard will fix the problem

meanwhile Watch Me Video here...

new horizon

new horizon

ummie had risen among the ranks and landed herself in a new spot today.

she has left the manufacturing world for the logistical world of SupplyChain...

whats bigger is that she is now on normal shift. no more free days

thats a big change for all of us. i will be sent to baba's place like everyday!

i can sense she's terrified but she always put on a brave front

she still leaves home the same time even when she starts at 0830 now

maybe she trying to 'siam' the crazy ERP gantries...

since Hari Raya ummie had been throwing leave and MC so she dont have to work on Sundays. she may get what she want soon.

so what have we been doing on Sundays...

.

slack, chill & shop...

.

ok actually during the raya season was visiting and slack, chill & shop.. hee.

.

we went shopping with Nadya. fun fun fun @ ToysRus

mommies had their fun fun fun @ Paragon

daddies had funfun fun @ LuckyPlaza?

a comic shop at Lucky Plaza. in fact abah walked away with 3 Monopoly sets. more monopoly sets!... LordOftheRing, MarvelHeroes & Spongebob more for ummie i think.

.

then, they came to my place for raya. heh... nadya had a go at my BallToyz FunCentre. i was sleeping but i can hear the comotion her daddy created. i think her daddy likes it more than she does. in fact both of them was in it. having a go at the balls. nadya was practically swimming. while her daddy was... swimming too?

.

later we return the visit to their place. there nadya daddy got a new toy. a sony DVD theater system courtesy of SCV. ummie had fun too coz she enjoys fixing those techno gadgets. abah slack on the net looking for job.. boring kan...

.

later what else can they do but play Monopoly... they showed off the different sets they had... while we, babies, after a day of fun... retreat... yawn...

due to a date mix up. i am actually available to go for Puteri Gunung Ledang after all. Thanx to my daddy who gave up his ticket so i could enjoy the show with my husband, mom and sis. While he babysit Missy for me. Thanx dad...

.

i just return from the peak. now i get to watch my very first musical or my very first visit to esplanade itself. now thats a whole new pinnacle too. i once told myself i would only enter the place with a special tour by a special someone. well now that we've moved on, i should too...

.

it was a climax for me to watch it with my lurve..

i dont have much to say about the musical. i actually find it disney like or rather comical really. its just the ambience with the ppl i love that makes me dreamy...

.

of course we met familiar faces... like my cuz shireen. who was staying at Conrad that night, no less..

.

went home to my Missy who refused to sleep without her ummie. i comforted her in the car. i kinda said that i wont leave her alone anymore... *fingers crossed*

ummie: for one night only dear.

missyE: one night only ok. no more ok...

aah-chooo

<<aah-chooo>>

sniff sniff.. i got the bug again..

from ummie who else. it's my fault.. i know she's infected yet i want no one else but her...

hmmm... nothing beats the cuddle and warmth of your own ummie. yet i paid a price for it

.

without much haste my baba and atok brought me to the pediatrician nearby. i like the place and doctor VanessaTan. i was showing off my 'clap clap hand' & 'snap snap hand' tricks...

didnt seem to be sick if you ask me. i was feeling alllright

.

that doc is a real kiasu. she gave so much medicine. maybe she doesnt want us to bother her much. she gave a whole plastic bag. FULL of good stuff...ummie like to think of it as a goodie bag...

.

the reason for the generous milk samples is because i am way underweight for my age. ok like 500g under. i am suppose to be 7kg. most ppl i know already hit 10kg!..

.

well no hurry right. maybe i'll take time. i do hope i dont ballooon up to be an obese though

.

so thanx doc for the free milk.

oh but the doc charge us a hefty fee of $73.50! which they will claim from ummie, who in turn will claim from mr.Hewlett-Packard. he must be a very nice guy that uncle ;p..

constipated
my baby got constipation. it's a very sad sight. in laws want me to rush her to the docs. i dont think its necessary. i got flu again. so i stayed at home to nurse her and myself...
.
i bought her fruit juice and fed her corn mix with cereal. she pass motion three times and her stools are hard. the last motion looks promising though. by morning its confirmed that her stools are soft again. so i can go to werk now...
.
meanwhile the faithful Telon is the only way to ease her tummy...
did you know there are so many different brands of telon in the indonesian market. even one baby brand we all know has it... Cussons.. why it never hit our market. we are definitely being ripped off. thanx to relatives coming over occasionally, i would 'kirim' them...

ummie brought her colleagues out to BIG superstore. there she spent like she received green packets. or maybe she took mine. then she tested the capacity of the car's behind.....

she bought plenty... all for me...

she bought me baby wipes...

she bought me a gate....

to stop me from entering the kitchen! ceh...

she bought me a looong catterpillar called lots-a-lots-leggggs...

one more thing... she also bought me this...

yahoo... lets play.. anyone coming with me?

there is plenty of room.. its HUGE...

maybe its my birthday again..

whom i gave a tour to the kitchen...
some came from the next block yet some came from far...

they savoured Sup Tulang, chocolate cake, carrot cake, 'lapis' cake & many more cakes yang sewaktu dengannya... with ummie's special blend of teh susu...

i would say many many ppl so little time.. i slept at way past midnight entertaining guests...

to the peak

to the peak

the date has been set on 16 of Nov. thats 7 days away...

i just started my first training todaay..... abit late huh..

.

i been there a few times. now the place have evolved. not only comercialized, even the terrain has changed. maybe i get too confident that i'll pull through without a scratch. the last time i went there was in 2003. now my body has changed post pregnancy. it makes it worse when my bro told me "wats there to train! its only Ledang wat".. idiot... that statement made me more complacent....

.

so i geared up with weights on my back. wat used to be 4 filled bottles. now is my very own lil missy. she's only 7kg though and the carrier lack support unlike my LoweAlpines. nevertheless off we went. up the the 21st floor. jogging speed at first. then slack at the 15th storey and above... wahaha..

never mind. i got my brother to carry my load if i lost my mental up there... heee...

.

me and my brother and more old skool frens unite for this trip. the last time i went with my brother was in 1997 i think. this is gonna be a blast.. insya Allah...

.

oh wait... while i was going up and down the stairs.. look what i saw...

the door defaced with black paint....

curious me, i followed the drips/smudges of paint i saw on the floor.. hee.. Kpoh...

.

isk isk isk.. i thought the new generaton would be educated enough NOT to credit from TaiLong... shocking..

the intriguing part is.. the styrofoam taped at the gate was never removed. it indicates the the house may be vacant. i mean if you move in. one would remove it right?...

ah dunno lah dont care... ignorance has been our generations' motto.. till they come up with a campaign.. kenali tetangga anda... heee... well i sure wouldnt want that door next to mine!!

no artistic value..

foamilac

foamilac

Similac formula is very foamy. it clings onto the bottle defying gravity. the very reason why i switched to Enfalac in her 2nd month. thinking it causes colic. after much trial with other fomulas, i decided to stick to Similac. why?... bcoz ZoeTay uses it too... wahaha..

because it produces the best poo consistency for her. as missy was weaning, i do not want a constipated baby... adding to the challenge..

.

as for those foamilac bottles left for us to scrub. i am using TOLLYJOY baby accessories and vegetable cleanser. it has a great smell of banana muffins!! enticing my appetite each time i scrub those bottles. so i left the scrubbing for him or i'll get hungry all the time...

.

bottle brush, i use PIGEON. the bristles remain clean and shiny and it never bends out of shape...

.

sterilized bottles...

how often do you sterilized your bottles?

it is important, according to a doc in KKH. my cuzin's baby was admitted for high fever. the doc pulled her aside questioning her. how many bottles do you have? do you sterilized after each use?

i have to admit i got lazy in the fourth month. then when missy was hit with a long battle of flu. i tried my best to strerilized it often. otherwise it's just twice a week now...

nail em

nail em

my baby got short nails. they are short and broad. kinda fan like...

it will grow outwards. potential sharp edges that will show on her face in the morning. one of the reasons why she wears mittens till she's 5 months...

.

i trim her nails when she's awake. she is resisting now. but i just have too much to do when she's asleep. so i will persist till she starts to cry. then it will be an unfinished job. i tried not to trim her nails too short. thinking it will adhere to the skin thus getting longer..

but that only means it will break and cause more damage. so she cant have it a bit longer cause it'll break when she scratches...

.

she loves to scratch. just like the cat. scratching her head is normal. but she scratches anything with different textures. like seat belt. carpet. leather seat. balloons. fabrics. maybe she like the sound it makes....

.

but to scratch and peel stickers off her walker is her favorite past time...

the hand-me-down walker arrived with a full set of decals. thanx to her. now its stripped bare.. she is working her way to other toys now..

all those destruction with the short stubby nails...

its my first raya. they are excited. i am gonna be all dressed up. ummie said i will be a hot babe..

i am a hot babe all right.. hot at 39.5 degress celcius! ! !

.

at start of the day. they wanted to shelve all raya plans to head down to KKH. but i cool down to normal. by the second home i heated up again. we were calling up for the nearest Raffles medical or just go to Raffles Hospital. we end up at my boo's family clinic...

.

we head down to the 43rd house. sorry 3rd house. i was drugged by then. everything whizz by. so many colourful ppl. so much good smell. but i couldnt drink, couldnt eat, couldnt sleep...

i was a zombie...

.

they squeezed in one more house and ended the day after maghrib. letting me sleep. my grandpa even bought me those forehead stickers. i shall rest and look forward to a better day tommorrow.....

its the last weekend of ramadhan. a crucial time for all households.

washing, scrubing, cleaning, changing sheets, changing curtains, moping....

whoof.. that's a whole lot of things to do.. this time the waiting game seems never ending to me..

but ummie is missing somewhat.. she's gone to work since yesterday.. saying something like earnin OT to cover the expenses...

.
money, i may never understand. but one things for sure. money = time and time away from my ummie or parents is no fun.. so i dont like money...
.
but i heard in Hari Raya there is plenty of money to go around. it comes in packets.. neat.. but what can i do wit it. it doesnt make good teethers!...

anyway.. i feel for my parents working their butts off at work and now at home!... so i decided to get them some help...
