ummie bought me another one from US

but it never arrived bcoz she refuse to pay the shipping charges that is more than twice the price of the toy itself... hmph...

then i showed them that i am ready for my first ride

when i got on adiyah's bike

so they got me a cow !!

ok i TAK CEREWET

then about 3 weeks later

i got lucky at toysRus

they got me my very first DORA trike

WOW right...

well i didnt appreciate it then

coz i pretty much prefer the doll stroller even when i got NO doll

but back at home after ummie assembled it from scratch

and complained coz the box says assembled in MEXICO

i jumped on it and off i went...

no pedals for me yet
just push n drag n push

adolescence

adolescence

check out her feet..

she is defying orders of NO SHOES in da house!
when she knows how to take them off
and lined them neatly to the wall
with clapping and praising hersef "PANDAI"
she trots around the house clumsy as ever
she doesnt walk very well
i guess she got such tiny feet
her cousin 2 weeks her junior pass down her shoes!
but the adult shoes would appeal more of course
she is hitting adolescence
thus i believe the TERRIBLE TWOs is right around the corner
get ready now...

diet

diet

with Elisya, back then,

I was paranoid when i gained as mush as 3-4kg per month

i was depressed and survived on soupy foods for 3 months

but still gained so much

.

this time i gave up

also knowing that i will be able to shed it off

with hard work of pumping out at the gym

still got my AMORE credits to claim

i did not manage to shed till pre pregnancy weight

but i was happy with the new figure

.

so this time i eat as i please

all sinful foods

my gynae is appealing to me to avoid sweet stuff

i lied through my teeth when i replied YES

seriously how to manage NO SWEETS FOOD / DRINKS when its raya fest

and it goes on till the up and coming raya haji

i dont know whats my weight now

i dare not check

.

but i've been gaining a kg a month

which is a miracle to me

so what shall i have for lunch today

after having lontong kering for breakfast

rice in the morning for most weekends now

my concience is terrified by now

but i am so looking forward to a sinful dinner of

rice, durian, coconut milk and sugar !!!

C'caine

durian

stunkfrut

my baby has had her first taste of DURIAN

she was not eager at first

which i find weird but she ate a lot that day

and of course, it does not resemble your ordinary ice cream cone or chocolates

after a while she decided to try some

she got excited and gave cheeky faces after every feed

she only took about 5 feeds

then she backed off

good, coz i was worried it may heat up her body

but still i'm happy she does not show any reaction to durians

well she may be too young anyway

but for those who really cannot stand the smell maybe you can try this

work from home

work from home

I have been blessed with great bosses at HP

One option for me is to work from home

I can pull this option at least once a week

however i hardly use it unless i am really tooo tired to go to work

i run store operations, so physically absent is quite tough

sitting at home and working just does not fall nicely into place

my cosy living room would distract me

but the biggest distraction of all would be HER

seriously how to work when your toddler would climb all over you

so whenever i opt for working from home

she still have to go over to baba's place

while i work work work my emails

i would aim to write a few entries on the blog but it'll never happen

today i simply shut my eyes on the growing mailbox of 281 unread mails and blog blog blog...

*even then it is simply to update my entriez. no time to go blog hopping

bundle of joy

bundle of joy

featuring Nazhan NorEffendi

lately a few of us were blessed with their bundle of joy

bundle of joy to me and hubby is the scariest part of the journey. no sleep, no cold drinks, no unhealthy drinks, no cold baths, plenty of wailings to cope with the rush of visitors with food to prepare. ok mostly it applies to me. but i have prepred myself mentally to face it again. this time i opened my mouth to get more help than the last time. or at least HE has to go buy me food at the very least. i am not gonna cook for the first week. anyways i saw the drypers NEWBORN advertisement and i ws over joyed. seriously trust them and to make NEWBORN size will simply help us ease the expenditure. coz seriously this little bundle of joy simply poo and pee as they wish. up to about 12 pcs of diapers each day !!! koyak seh.. so i did my homework at your nearest fairprice...

drypers 28s - $7.30 ~0.26 each

mamy poko 52s - $17.80 ~0.34 each

pampers 36s - $16.20 ~0.45

fitti's - dont know dont care... bad experience..

garden swing

garden of eden

guess what ummie got for abah's birthday???

A GARDEN SWING..!!!

cwazy ummie bought with the intention to place it in the corridor

so all the smokers will have a very comfy yellow box

unfortunately it was too big and may inconvenience the neighbours

so we had to have it indoors

we relayout the hall (thank god for the big hall)

so now we have a talking point for Hari Raya

true enuff kids and mother kids went crazy over it...

it's not everyday you find a swing

and no one would expect a home with NO balcony to have a swing...

they could not get the excitement from me though

they film me coming home but i simply pass the contraption and never gave it a second look!!!

not even delighted when they put her on it...

later on the bars and pole of the swing did excite me a bit

i would sit on the bars and fall off with a bang on my head

i never ask to get on the swing unless someone is on it...

abah birthday 2007

new missy

new missy

most of them still remember missy as the untouchable and cranky missy. one who is capable of crying for 2 hours straight! that was before, now everyone adores her...

not only is she petite like a doll, she puts on a sweet front. she insists to follow others and forgets her parents. she sings and dance especially after 7pm. she will put on a concert for all to enjoy. everyone envies me for having an easy girl to take care of as she never threw tantrums. just laughing away. those who had seen the worse of her, pray ALHAMDULILLAH that she has turned into a LADY now, no more tears. well i am happy she showed off her good side and kept the her bad traits within our home.

its a great feeling to discover your kid's wonders. her after 7pm showtimes were great, she dances, sings, counts and giggle her way thru. much to our amazement too...

well done missy mah lady

COT DEATH

cot death

my newly married cousin just lost her nephew he passed away in his sleep. my instant thoughts - COT DEATH

Its a syndrome that babies pass away in their sleep due to unsufficient levels of oxygen. many times we read on those warning labels on US baby products. US babies are encourage to be swaddled instead of sleeping on thier tummies

somthing i bet they learned from asian babies.

i never thought of it as missy never slept on her tummy. but seriously look at her bed... its a safety hazard... all those toys and pillows would succumb her anytime. But do i move it away..NO. maybe because i would think her lungs would be robust enough by now. but strings..YES that i would clear.

Sadly i was watching the documentary on inventions. One guy is trying to make the doctor sensors (that you stick to the body to get your heartbeat and so on) wireless and for home use. This way parents can montior their oxygen level and alarm will go off should he lack oxygen in his blood. Watching it on TV you thought it could have saved her nephew. but how long will it take to arrive our market. even that would parents think it would be neccessary. coz these babies who died tragically are not sick. they are healthy babies who never woke up. would i buy? i didnt even buy a baby monitor!

We just have to be weary and alway pray to HIM for good health. As for now i can only sumbangkan AL FATIHAH to the nephew whom i dont even know his name.

Christine Yap

she was recommended by no other than my cuzin shireen

i tot i'd give it a shot

headed out without my handphone

we found our way to her clinic

Mount Elizabeth Medical Centre

at 1oth floor. a room with a view...cool

she was late from lunch

she was tall slim, with a motorcycle jacket on with very short hair

whoa...she looks tough enuff to pack some punch

up close and personal she was so soft spoken

i swear she was whispering with me

behind the curtains, the instrument entered me

i did not expect much seriously

when the screen immediately showed a baby with waving arms

i called out to him, who was trying to calm hysterical missy

missy went quiet the moment she saw me

so we focused on the screen

bb is already 9 weeks, a whole 2.5 cm wiht arm and legs

SUBBAHANALLAH

i am happy with Christine and what we saw

we left the office excited like new parents

then i got even excited to find out that the car park has a lift

cool i tell ya

its the first and the last we would ever take that car park

it cost a whopping $8++ for less than 2 hours

He said it was more shocking than seeing bb waving about....
