TVB Drama Series

Hubby bought a DvD when he came back from work yesterday. It's a TVB drama series, titled Dicey Business (Du Cheng Feng Yun) with 35 episodes. The storyline focused about lifestyle in casino. Can you see the guy with big tummy in the picture? You should know that it's a joke drama series.

I told hubby that we don't have time to watch it, waste money to buy it and put it in the drawer only. He then smiled with me and walked away. While I'm blogging in another room, hubby came in and opened the DvD. He told me that he just watched for a while. I'm also watched it while blogging *sigh*

Guess what, we watched it till 1am then went to sleep. I forced hubby to sleep as he will travel outstation the next day. If I didn't force him to bed, I think he will watch it again. I'm sure he will finish all the episodes soon.

SuperStar Virgo Cruise

I've received mail from a travel agent about the promotion on Super Star cruise in April. I've been travel on cruise when I was a teenager with my family. It's been a long time and almost 15 years ago.

Hubby told me before that he wants to go on holiday in a super huge cruise. I thought to take the package which is 5 nights to Bangkok and Koh Samui. It's now offer to 30% discount for all pax. But I cant go with hubby as I just came back from Bali at that time. So, we will miss this opportunity.

I think there's another promotion again later, and hopefully I can go on holiday with hubby since we're not going for holiday after Marcus was born.

If you want to go on cruise, do visit their website at Super Star Virgo Cruise. This is NOT a sponsored post. I just want to keep in mind so that I wont forget about it, and I will arrange a holiday on cruise with my hubby.

Hosting A Domain

It has been few weeks I got my new domain and I have problem to setup it till now. I did asked others to help out, but seem nobody can settle my problem.

I really can't wait anymore, and since everyone seems to be migrating to WordPress, I'm going to own a hosting too which is suggested by ShoppingMum.

So, do bear with me with my new blog,ok......

Marcus : 13 months old

Weight : 8.9kg (when he's 1 year old)

Marcus is 13 month old today. He still cant walk but start to pulling up himself to take something that he wants. If he cant get it, he will cry until we get it to him. But I'm not going to take for him, just push the thing nearly for him to take by himself. After he got it, he will smile and play again.

He likes to do some action to play with us since there's not other baby playing with him. He will do something that will make us happy, sometimes angry. For example, like to play wtih his saliva, sucking his little toes, turn dowm his head to find something under the sofa. I enjoy when he put his head on my shoulder and hug me, it's so warm that you can't feel it. I love him more than I can say.

He loves to see advertisements on TV, he so concentrate to it without moving his eyes. He will start to play when it's turn to show. I really don't understand how come he can differentiate with the advertisement and the show. I'm so curious to know that, anyone can tell me why he knows?

Marcus doesn't like to drink formula milk, he's only having it during midnight when he woke up. He doesn't like bottled feed and prefer to feed him in cup. Sometimes my MIL will put some milo together with formula milk during day time. He likes to eat noodles, porridge, rice, bread, biscuits rather than milk, but still to have cereal in the afternoon. Now, he won't drink milk in the morning, he wants to eat noodles together with us. He also won't have his milk before going to bed every day.

So, below is my son food schedule :
Morning - noodles or bread
Afternoon - cereal with milk
Evening - fruits
Night - porridge, sometimes rice with soup
Midnigjt - milk

Lazy To Work

Today is the first day that I go to work after CNY. I felt not to go work, but I can't because I have class to teach, somemore my students are having exam tomorrow. So, I forced myself to go work this evening. This is my responsibility after all.

After discussed with my partners, we decided to give away angpow to my all teachers as opening work angpow. It's not that much compare to last year, but is better than none, right? We can't give too much as our centre doesn't have much students for the past few months.

I got to know that my partner will stay and teach in the meantime, but still don't know when she will quit from us. So, we all now have to co-operate to maintain our students besides to approach new students.

Even though I have other side income from PPP, but I still need my job, is good to have double income, right? Somemore I've been operated my centre about 4 years, it's hard for me to quit it and stay at home only for writing paid posts.

Chinese New Year : Day 8 (Part II)

Hubby and I went to his friend's house after Marcus was slept. His family hold a grand celebrate on the eighth day of CNY every year. It should be the nineth day of CNY as they will pray and burn all the gold money paper after 12am.

Hubby told me that his family believe that with this celebration, they will have more wealth and prosperity throught out the year. And guess what, he came from a rich family and his father run a big business.

I still received few angpao from his family members last night, they all thaught that I'm still single. LOL!!! All these angpao not for me, I will give it to my son. Hubby cant get it as his friend has told his family that this guy has married with a son.

Chinese New Year : Day 8 (Part I)

I went to my mother's house after breakfast this morning and I saw there's many fruits and food on the dining table. Suddenly I knew that today is the eight day of CNY. On this day, the Hokkiens hold celebrations (Bai Tin Gong) and prayers where sugarcane is an important item.

My mother's a Hokkien, she has prepared all the stuffs for tonight, but unfortunately no sugarcane as my mother not hold grand celebrations, just a simple celebration. I did said my mother why we need to celebrate it with sugarcane. She told me a story that people had to hide themselves in sugarcane fields to escape attacks from pirates. They only managed to emerge from the fields on the eighth day of the New Year.

Thus, Hokkiens celebrate the occasion with sugarcane as to thank God. I didn't know about the story until today :P I'm part of a Hokkien, but I only can talk and speak a little bit of Hokkien dialects.

As I know, many people will celebrate this occassion in Penang as majority are Hokkiens, am I right? I have read through Star newspaper today and I got to know that in Penang, sugarcane stalks were being snapped up like hot cakes as the Hokkien majority community here prepared to celebrate the eight day of the CNY.

Chinese New Year : Day 7

It's the seventh day of CNY yesterday, it's also called "Yan Yak" in chinese. In Chinese tradisional, this day as everyone's birthday. As Chinese believes that "Yan Yak Lou Sang, Ye Lou Ye San". The best day for "Lou Sang" during CNY is the seventh day of CNY.

Hubby arranged a dinner gathering with his friends at Public Pusing Seafood Restaurant at town. It's really crowded with lots of people, it was full house actually and luckily hubby booked for the table the day before.

It's good that we grib the dish (Yee Sang - raw fish salad) higher, the better we are in the year. So, everyone grib it higher until all over the table. It's the best day for "Lou Sang" for those who's run business, and of course it brings wealth and happiness to all of us.

Good Sleep

Marcus has a good sleep during CNY, may be he's too tired playing around with my little cousin every day at my parents house.

He woke up late around 8am for the past few days, normally he will wake up at 7am. But he's still sleeping now as he slept at 11.30pm last night. Played happily with the kids and cant feel tired at all, he's really energetic boy.

Surprised !!!

I told hubby that I wanted to bring Marcus and my little cousin to go swimming yesterday, but too bad it's raining, so we cancelled our plan.

I went to my mum's house this afternoon, hubby went out to meet his friends and I need to take care Marcus. I almost forgot that I'm a queen in my mum's house. I no need to take care Marcus as many people helped me to carry and feed him. So, I went to have a nap before taking Pizza which ordered by my aunty.

After I woke up from my nap, I have my pizza, chicken wings. So, yummy!!! Then, my aunty, grandmother, mother asked me to play poker cards with them. My sister helped me to lookafter Marcus.

After an hour, hubby back and brought a mini pool to Marcus. Guess what, we opened it and my father filled up water to let Marcus played in the car porch. It's really hot outside, so I let him to play about 20 minutes.

Marcus was very happy and excited when he's sat on the mini pool. He didn't want to wake up from it and cried when I carried him out. He likes to flash water, and our clothes all wet at the end.

I told him that mummy and daddy will let him play again next time. He can understand what I told him and he stopped crying then.

Eye Massager

OSIM iCare 100 ( Therapy for the eyes)

Hubby brought this eye massager last month together with uZap. The sales girl asked hubby to buy this eye massager as it's on promotion with 50% discount off. Hubby bought it as he taught it's good for us.

This eye massager provide us to relief for tires eyes at the end of a stressful day. So, it's good for me as I'm always excess time in front of a computer screen for work, and hubby's always travel around.

The benefits with regular use of the OSIM iCare 100 :
- relief from myopia, hyperopia, astigmatism
- reduction in the apperance of the fine lines, dark rings around the eyes and eye bags
- relief from eye strain and tiredness
- relief from insomnia and headache
- improvement in eye blood circulation.

I'm look like helping OSIM for an advertisement. LOL!!! Actually I wanted to introduce this as I felt relax after using it. Even though I'm not use it for every day, but I enjoyed with the massage. I need to take some time to massage my eyes since I'm not enough sleep for the last few days.

Need To Sleep

I went to sleep at 12am last night after came back from my parents house. Hubby went out to join his gang for drink. I didn't blog, put on mask before I go to bed. Even though I slept at 12am last night and woke up at 8am this morning, but I still not enough sleep.

We just came back from SIL's house, Marcus was slept, so I can blog!!! After about one hour I blogged here, I really cant stand and need to go to have a nap first before I go to my parents house later.

Hubby's asking me to go for a nap now, so I need to stop liao.....Emmm, wait...I need to write a paid post first. Really, last post for me, ok, dear.....Aiya, crazy already !!!

Dangerous Scene

We went out for breakfast near our house this morning. My MIL suggested to go to this new Restaurant, it's opened during CNY. No much people here, only us. Before the food served, hubby brought Marcus to see fishes in a pool, I'm quite worried that hubby carried him and let him sat on the stone. The environment there is good, but still not much people know about this place. Actually it's a Tim Sum restaurant. You may visit HERE to know more about this restaurant.

I'm So Tired

I'm so tired during the days of Chinese New Year, I went to sleep after 2am every night. Every night hubby and I went out to meet friends after Marcus was slept, that's why I'm seldom blogging during night time.

So, I woke up early to blog some posts last few days before we went out to visit relatives and friends. Hubby said I'm crazy as supposed I can sleep for one or two more hours, but I didn't, sacrificed my time to blog some posts. Hehehe....now if you can see me, I have two big "panda eyes". Need to put on some make up before I went out else everybody will run away from me. LOL!!!

Anyway, I'm happy to celebrate CNY even though I'm not enough sleep for the past few days.

Playing With Handkerchief

We went out for breakfast this morning as most of the coffee shops have opened for business. We went to Bank after that as hubby needed to do some transactions. It's crowded with people and hardly to find a parking. Thus, I stayed in the car with Marcus.

I took out a handkerchief to clean his mouth and he caught and played with it. See, he's so happy by covering up his face with the handkerchief. Luckily I managed to take out my camera and snap some of the cute photos to him. While waiting hubby, I also joined the game with him too.

Gathering

My relatives from Kuantan, Johor & .....Ipoh too...

Hubby and I brought Marcus to my parents house to have dinner yesterday. This time we're not out for dinner as my mother wanted to cook at home. We all bored to eat outside somemore there're quite expensive during CNY. My relatives came and helped out my mother to cook. I just came and eat only, no need to do anything, but my sister came early and did helped out too :P

I'm even no need to wash plates after dinner thought I need to take care and feed Marcus. LOL!!! It's really hard we get together, only during CNY we can meet each other and have fun. Just see how enjoy they're watched TV, playing poker cards without $$$ of coz, playing mandarin oranges too.


Those little king & queen players



Marcus joined in to play mandarin oranges with my little cousins.

Chinese New Year : Day 3

Time flies very fast and it's the third day of Chinese New Year. Others may be start working now but hubby and I still on holiday till this sunday. LOL!!!

We didn't went out and have junk food as breakfast, wow, I think I gain my weight in this CNY. We then get prepare ourself to have lunch at 1919 Restaurant with hubby's relatives. It's really crowded with lots of people, luckily my SIL did booked for tables else I think we need to go other places. I saw my ex-colleague and we chatted for a while. He and his friends leave because they waited for so long for the dishes, no patient to wait again.

They all gathered at my house after the lunch, you know we really hard to meet each other normally unless there're some special occassion like wedding else we need to meet during CNY.

After they've back and Marcus was has his nap, Hubby and I rushed to his friend's house for opening during the third day of CNY. Reached there almost 3pm, sat and chatted for a while, then hubby and his friends started to work, that's playing poker cards. I'm sweating when I saw them playing. Guess how many they bet for a round? Is RM50, u know, so scary. Of coz hubby also played RM50 per round. We got to go home as we need to go to my parents house for dinner at 7.30pm.

Chinese New Year : Day 2

It's the second day of CNY, felt tired thought not enough sleep for the last two days. Marcus woke up at 7am and he took his nap around 9.15am. We didn't went out for breakfast and took some snacks at home before we went to have lunch in a Restaurant with my family and relatives.

I'm surprised to see my cousin yesterday as I have not seen him almost 10 years. I knew that he's working in KL, but suddenly came back for CNY this year. He felt shamed to take my angpao when I gave him as he's still single and older than me.

I did met my other cousins too, we managed to chat for a while and need to go home as Marcus started to cry for sleep. For those who's still single this year, they've received double angpao for three couples, that's meant six angpao for a person. Why? Because my sister and cousins gave double angpao as it's the first year of their married. LOL!!!

After reached home, I got to know that hubby's friends, my FIL's friends and hubby's godparents will come to visit us at the same time. Huh, suddenly my house crowded with people and I joked with hubby that we need to buy a bigger house.

Hubby and I took a nap after Marcus was slept. I woke up at 6pm and prepared myself before we go out for dinner with my parents. We're late when we reached the Restaurant, and not managed to "lou sang" with them.

Back to my parents house after the dinner, and guess what, we started to play poker cards. It was the first time I'm played poker cards after stopped for 2 years. Why? As I said before that I went to Shanghai for first year and I'm in confinement in the following year. I'm so lucky that I won about RM60+.....actually I can still win more but I really need to go home as I can see Marcus's eyes getting smaller and smaller. My aunty asked me only to stay a night at my parents house, of coz I won't do that. I just can't leave my hubby and son :P

Chinese New Year : Day 1

It's the first day of CNY, nothing special for me anymore except I can give away angpao to relatives and friends. We didn't went out for breakfast as most of the coffee shops were closed, if there're opened, I'm sure crowded with lots of people standing and waiting for the seat instead of food. My PIL cooked noodles at home and we having it as breakfast.

Hubby and I can't go out to my parents' house as Marcus was slept that time. When he woke up, hubby's brother came to visit us and we all chit chatted in the living room and having all the junk foods and drinks....YUMMY!!!!

It's about 3pm and we went to my parents house. I'm the queen when I reached there every time as my parents will carry and play with Marcus. But this time is different as Marcus was sat on the floor and played poker cards with my cousin who came back from Johor. See, Marcus looked very happy when there's kids to play with him.

We decided to go home after staying there for more than 2 hours as Marcus started to cry for sleep. After taking bath, I thought he wanted to go for a nap, but he wasn't and felt active and energetic. Then, we got to change and went out for dinner thought PIL lazy to cook during CNY.

Hubby decided to have fast food - Pizza Hut at Jusco. It was crowded with people but we managed to find a seat. Went home after the dinner, nothing to do and only watched TV at home while playing with Marcus.

Hubby's friend called up and asked whether we wanted to go to RUM Jungle. We went out again after Marcus was slept. Wow....wow....wow.....really really crowded with people, and we hardly to move in to meet our friends too. You can image that we walked butt to butt, OMG, so hot and crowded. Luckily our friends were there during dinner time, if not we sure have to go home.

It's about 2am and I felt very sleepy, asked hubby to go home. Guess what, I knew he's drank and he still told me that he's okay. I'm not believe what he said, and I know he will vomit later. Hahaha....he's vomitted after we back home. I'm so angry and blablabla as he's promised me that he won't drink until vomit, I'm not sure how many times he's vomitted after he promised me. Kept on saying "I'm sorry", but I didn't care about him and went to sleep......

I'm So Careless

After our reunion dinner, we went home and watched movie as there're many show on TV. Suddenly, hubby's phones rang, guess what his buddies called up him for gambling. Then, hubby asked me to go along with him since it's CNY, went out to meet friends rather stayed at home just watch TV. Again, we went out to hubby's friend house after Marcus was slept. So good that my MIL helped to take care my son if not I'm sure we can't go out easily.

I did brought "ang pows" along as I know we need to give it later to his friends. When the clock turned to 12am, we wished one another GONG XI FA CHAI, and all of them looking at us, so I know what to do, took out "ang pow" and gave to them. I thought all the same with RM5 per ang pow, after that I checked back and remembered that there're some with RM10. OMG, I have gave away RM10 to them instead of RM5. Some of them I really don't know their name and met them first time only. Aiya, really careless for myself. Luckily it's only a few got RM10, but it's too "sam tong" since they're not our relatives.

Told hubby about it later and he's also shocked to it. What to do? I have gave it out, and hubby said be careful next time loh.... :P I should called myself carelessmummy instead of lovelymummy :P

Chinese New Year Eve

It's Chinese New Year eve yesterday, hubby and I were invited to friend's factory for "shao kong chao" (closing ceremony for the factory during CNY). We reached there around 1pm after dropping by my MIL and son at home.

I knew what will happen when we reached the factory. Most of hubby friends were there waiting others to start drink while gambling. It's normal to be happened during CNY every year. Of coz hubby did joined for the game. We need to leave after 2 hours there as hubby has another place for "shao kong chao", so famous huh. But I didn't followed him as I need to go home take care my son, somemore need to clean up the house one more time before CNY. After I have did all the work, I went for a nap with Marcus. Woke up after an hour and I started to get prepare as we went out for our Reunion Dinner for the first year.

Marcus's cousin sister (6 months old)

It's a raining day and we reached the Restaurant about 8pm, wow, really crowded with lots of people especially during raining day. I thought we have to wait long for the dishes to be out, but it's not, we finished our dinner around 9pm.

Both of the baby were good last night and didn't make noise. Of coz sometimes they were a bit "lau kai", is normal actually. We're considered lucky as we can finish the dinner only for an hour. Unfotunately for my mother side, they have to wait for the seat even though they've booked before and finished the dinner about 3 hours.

Gong Xi Fa Cai

Hey all my dear friends, here I'm wish everyone HAPPY CHINESE NEW YEAR !!!

GONG XI FA CAI ...GONG XI FA CAI

ANG POW, PLEASE !!!

Gifts From My Mother

Every year my mother will have gifts for my PIL during Chinese New Year after I've married. I went to visit my parents last night, as I have bought them two cartoons of soft drinks and mandarins. My mother then gave us back a cake, cookies and a box of bird nest. I'm not sure whether it's a rule for chinese or what, but I'm happy when I received the gifts from my mother, feeling so warm.

My aunty and grandmother came to visit my mother, and we were chit chat for a while and need to go home as Marcus felt sleepy. My aunty said this year should given a big "ang pow" as I didn't give away it last two years. My mother was very happy and said this year can celebrate CNY, two years not come to my house during CNY. As I went for honeymoon in Shanghai for the first year I married, and I was in confinement last year. So, I''m so excited to celebrate it this year. It's really meant to me as I can celebrate it with my son for the first time. LOL!!!

So, now I'm waiting for the day to come, only two days leave. I even get prepare all the "ang pow" to be given away!!!! Crazy huh???

Bali Trip

My yoga instructor's organised a trip to Bali for 4 days 4 night in April. I've confirmed to her that I want to take part, same with my friends, Amy and Jacelyn. Suppose we need to pay for the deposit tomorrow, but I don't think I can pay it first, may be I can't go.

My MIL told hubby and I that she will go to KL early in April to visit her mother who's in sick condition. Unfortunately the date is same with the date I go to Bali. I didn't tell her that I will go Bali, so if she really want to go KL at that time, then I will cancel the trip to Bali :(

I need to take care my son, so most probably I also can't teach at my centre and my classes should be cancelled and replaced other days. Hubby told me that he will arrange my MIL to go KL early or later after I came back from Bali. So, we will decide tomorrow and see what is the result. Go or cant go is not a big deal thought I hope that I can go with hubby and my son next time.

Valentine Night Out

I thought hubby forgot that yesterday was a Valentine's Day. Since he has bought me a new cellphone as valentine's gift, so I think we're not celebrated it anymore. But I did bought a gift for him too, guess what? I bought him boxer shorts from Hush Puppies, and wrapped it nicely.

He called me and asked whether we want to go out for dinner, of coz I agreed with it. He also told me that we will go for a midnight movie with Kent and Jacelyn. Actually Kent called my hubby whether we want to see movie with them. So, Kent went to buy tickets this time as hubby was outstation. When he back from work, he saw a gift from his drawer, he's surprised that he also received a gift. He liked the gift very much thought he loves to wear boxer short at home.

We went out around 8pm with Marcus and decided to go to have Japanese food. We reached Waraku Japanese Restaurant, Ipoh Garden East and crowded with people, so you know there's full house. Then, we round and round and every restaurant full of people. Huh!! All youngsters coming out for dinner with their loves one. Finally, we went to Sushi East restaurant, of coz this restaurant also full of people, we need to wait for 10 minutes for the seat.

Finished the dinner around 10pm and went home as Marcus started fall asleep. Hubby and I went out at 11.15pm to catch the midnigt movie at 11.30pm. Don''t worry, we can reach to the cinema at Jusco around 5 minutes only. So, this is my valentine night out schedule, nothing special but hubby and I did enjoyed it.

I'm Blur Blur Today

I have planned my schedule to beautify myself like going for facial, manicure, pedicure, dye hair during this coming Chinese New Year. I've booked with all the beautician last few weeks.

Suppose I will go for facial at 1pm this afternoon, but I'm so blur that I went there at 11am. Huh? The beautician was shocked to see me as she has another customer with her during that time. After she has checked her appointment, I should be come at 1pm. Aiya, what to do? Going home? Nope, I went to Jusco to buy a gift for my hubby as today is a Valentine's Day.

I'm still blur now, may be not enough sleep for the past few weeks. Arranged and planned what to do, what to buy for Chinese New Year. Somemore for my centre, need to plan for new time table, books and many others.

I need some rest, if not you can see my "panda eyes" during Chinese New Year.

Happy Valentine's Day

HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY !!!!

Problem Raise Again !!!

I've received an sms from Shoppingmum this afternoon about her decision that she wanted to sell her share to Mummy In Vain and me. She told me that she wants to go back to Penang, stay with her parents as her hubby always travel to outstations and overseas.

She told us many times about the decision that she wants to sell her share, the most important thing is that she hates to teach again. Since we have made a decision to setup the centre years ago, we need to do it well. If really want to close it, we also need to end it well as chinese said "you tau you may".

I do agree to take over her share but Mummy In Vain not agree as she feel that now our centre lack of teachers and other problem, and she just simply run away by selling of her share to us. I agreed what she said, as we're so closed to each other, she cannot be so sellfish and leave us in the trouble. I know our family is very important, but we need to do thing fine, at least let us settle all the problem first.

We hardly to employe a teacher and we did advertised on newspaper many times. But no one is qualify even though all of them graduated from STPM. So, we made a decision we took backall classes and teach again until we find a qualify teacher. It's fair as we share it equally, right?

So now, we hope that we can employe a qualify teachers to cope with her classes. One of my teacher told me that her sister's very interested to be a teacher and she will come for an interview after her STPM exam in April. Hopefully, she is the one that we want!!!

Good News From PPP

I just know that PPP has announced that bloggers who write paid posts now can increased to 3 per blog per day instead of 2. LOL!!! I think most of the posties may feel happy about this good news, right?

I never expected that and I am sure the opportunities will taken very fast as some posties have several blogs with good Page rank and write in good english.

I really don't have much time now as I need to teach at my centre after CNY. Besides that, not all the opportunities I can take as my page rank is 2 at this moment and hoping to reach more higher so that I have more choices to choose.

Santa Clause

Santa Clause? Christmas's just over month ago, where got Santa Clause? Got, Santa Clause is coming soon, those who will give "ang pow" to children during this coming Chinese New Year, like me!!!

Hubby gave me all these ang pow packets days ago. I felt happy to see all these red ang pow and I'm happy to be a Santa Clause this year. As I have not given any ang pow for the last two years. You know why? I went to Shanghai for my honeymoon during CNY for the first year I've married and I'm on confinement during CNY too last year. In Chinese traditional, we can't give any ang pow when you've gave birth during that time.

This year, I'm not sure whether I can give out the ang pow or not as hubby's grandfather passed away two months ago. Most of the old people said that we can't give away ang pow to anyone, but we can receive ang pow from others. I felt not happy when I heard it, it's no good if someone give your kids ang pow but you don't give back to their kids. Oh, I really can't do that!!!

So, hopefully my PIL will give me "permission" to give away ang pow to my relatives and friends. If not, I'm sure most of them will "ngam ngam cham cham" to me. Children will happy when they receive any pow during CNY even though it may not a BIG ang pow.

Again, hubby took some ang pow packets from bank yesterday. Below is the conversation to hubby :

Hubby : Keep these ang pow packets and money yourself. Get it prepare when you''re free, ok?(put the money inside the ang pow).

Me : Wah, so nice all these ang pow packets, the $$$ also nice leh.....hehehehe...

Hubby : Why you so happy? You feel very happy to distribute ang pow leh?

Me : Ya loh, we haven't give any pow to others two years loh, this year must give loh. But ask your parents whether we really can do that or not.

Hubby : Can guo, they open minded one lah....

Me : No lah, better ask them first. But if they're not allow, I still want to give it out woh...

Hubby : You like loh, give lah....

Me : You said ok one....

Action Taking Photos

Look at this little boy? What's he doing there? Looking at mummy who take photos to him in this way? Nowadays, I hardly to take nice photos with him as he always moved and jumped here and there whenever he saw me took out the camera.

See, he knows how to post his action and let me take photos, em, so cute!!! My MIL told me that he liked to act this action when he's happy and satisfy with something.

I think this photo caonsidered fine for me. You know why? He will sit down queitly when there's something served to him.. Then, I can take him some nice photos easily else all must have to delete.

Really He's Talking?

I'm not sure whether my son started to talk or not, here are the conversations between my PIL to Marcus.

Situation A :
MIL : Boy, call "kakak"? (An Indo maid who come to my house for cleaning every 2 weeks)

Marcus : "kaaa" (sound like car not "kak")

Situation B :
MIL : Boy, ask "yeah yeah" (Marcus's grandfather) bring you go out.

Marcus : "yehhh"

Situation C :
FIL : Lit Ean (my son's name), ask mar mar(Marcus's grandmother) go take bath with you.

Marcus : "maaaa""

Is that really what he wanted to talk? I still not confirm but I think he's start learn to talk now.

Full House

This year we thought to have reunion dinner at a Restaurant. So, hubby called up to his sister and asked her to book for us at East Ocean Restaurant, Ipoh Garden East. As his sister know one of the capten there very well.

We went to the Restaurant last night and thought to order for the dishes on that night. But after they've checked, our name was not in the list. Huh, how come can it be? My SIL has booked for us two weeks ago. Finally, I found our name on 13 February, but no on 17 February. Don't tell me that we have reunion dinner so early.

It's a miscommunication between my SIL and the capten. Hubby was angry and called up his sister to ask for it. Then, his sister talked to the capten, but still they can't slot a table for us on that night. There's a place where we need to have the dinner at 9pm, of coz cannot as there's 2 babies and they need to sleep early.

So, we've no choice but have to accept it. We've called up for others Restaurant, but all fully booked. OMG, don't tell me that we need to cook at home which I don't like. Waste time and make the kitchen very dirty. Finally, we ended up to go to the smaller Restaurant for booking, guess what, only leave 2 tables and we quickily booked for it.

It's fine to me to have reunion dinner in whatever Restaurant, but not cook it at home!!! :P

Me Shopping Again

My sister's leave a message to me and asked me wheather I'm free after 1pm today as she wanted me to accompany her to buy new clothes for Chinese New Year. I asked her to wait me at my house and I'll back around 1.30pm from my centre.

We went to have lunch at Kopitiam, Ipoh Gaden East before we proceed our mission, shopping!!! We took many clothes to try, but my sister not even buy a piece. She wanted to buy some of them firstly, but I felt that the clothes not suitable for her age and look. And she felt that I wore nicer than her. Guess what? I bought it finally.

OMG, I spend money again. I told my sister not to buy anymore when we proceed to another boutique. Emmm, you guess what I have did, don't want to write it out again. We went 3 boutiques but my sister failed to buy one, she started ngam ngam cham cham, I like the clothes you've bought, but why I wear not nice one. Bla...Bla....Bla....I told her enough for today, I wanted to go home and "cut my fingers" in this month......

Are They Look The Same?

Are they look the same? I got all other photos from photo shop last week, and my friend told me their smile looked very natural when she saw the photo, if I send it to the some kind of father-son contest, they have big changes to win.

Not only my friend told me that, my mother also said they looked so happy and natural when taking this photo. Em, gonna to make it to 8R and put it in bedroom, but not going to participate in any contest loh thought hubby not wearing shirt, naked! Top only lah! He sure will ngam ngam cham cham if he see him on the blog!!! LOL!!!

Pedicure & Manicure

Chinese New Year's around the corner, I bet everyone will go to beautify themself like dye hair, cut hair, buy new clothes, facial, spa, pedicure & manicure and etc, right? I went for pedicure and manicure this morning, I've booked for the appointment with the manicurist two weeks ago, if not I have to wait after Chinese New Year. Nowadays, so many aunties, ladies and youngster go for this treatment.

This time I've chose dark blue for my toes with butterflies on it, nice or not? I know the photo quite blur, but it's very nice one when you see it :P I've tried many colours before like purple, green, orange, yellow, dark red. My hubby also shocked when he saw my toes with this colour. I didn't colour my fingers, only put nail strengthener as i know it can stand long till Chinese New Year thought I always use my fingers to do my work like typing, housework and etc....

Today I only knew that the manicurist actually lived nearby my house when we're chit chat. This world really "small" and I even not seen her before. She goes morning walk with her mother and get to know my MIL and son, also morning walk gang :P

Shopping For CNY

Hubby decided to go out for dinner again, as we wanted to go for shopping for this coming Chinese New Year. We've been bought part of the groceries last week, but hubby still feel not enough and need to buy somemore to put it at home. He thought many people will visit us this year. We have not celebrate CNY for 2 years, as we went to Shanghai for honeymoon for the first year I was married and I'm on confinement last year. So, this year should be celebrate it with our son, Marcus too.

After hubby has fetched me from my centre this evening, we went to Jusco for our dinner at Dave's Deli. Once we reached there, we saw a performance showing on. I've managed to snap a photo as this was the last program. Then, we took our dinner before we went to supermarket to shop. Wow, we bought many things until we need 2 trolleys :P Oh, hubby's pocket on fire as the bill was about RM300+.

Went For Injection

This morning after breakfast, hubby and I brought Marcus to go for his MMR (measles, mumps, rubella) injection. It should be given this injection when he's 1 year old, but we late for almost 2 weeks as he's having fever two weeks ago.

Once Marcus stepped in the clinic, he's look like want to cry. He knew there's something will happen to him again. When he see his paed, he start crying. He didn't want to lying on the scale, so just let him to sit on it and weigh. His weight now is 9kg.

Oooooohhhh.....time to give injection. This time need to inject on his hand. My MIL sat down and carried him, started again...his voice so loud and moved here and there. Hubby, MIL, and I hardly to carry him. Doctor also amazed and said this little boy very strong. 4 people also cant catch him, just imagine how's strong is he.

Worry About My Thyroid

I have thyroid/goiter when I'm pregnant. I've been told that because of the hormon changed during pregnancy and it will be disappeared after I've gave birth. I went to see a doctor at IPoh Specialist Hospital and tested it showed positive, he told me that it depends on you whether you want to go for an operation since he saw me so scared when I'm heard about operation.

He told me to come back to me after 3 months, but I went to see another doctor at Fatimah Hospital, again it showed positive and same answer from the previous doctor. So, hubby and my family asked me not to go for operation as I'm very scared of it, somemore there's people having the thyroid again after they've an operation.

Then, I left it about 6 months until now after I've checked by doctors. In the meantime, my mother asked me to drink more boiled baby abalone. Sometimes I can feel my thyroid become smaller and sometimes bigger a bit if I get angry or sore throat.

Today, when I went fo yoga class, one of the yoga mate asked me if I've goiter. I tole her yes and she asked me to go for operation thought it's fast and no pain. But I really scare of it and hoping it will disappear one day. My other yoga mate told me that she also has goiter before and she delate for the operation, now her eyes look like "golden fish", she needs to put eye drop medicine every day, if not she will feel pain. She told me seriously, it will cause blind if very serious.

My yoga instructor also told me that her aunty go for laser operation for her thyriod. Em? If laser then I won't be so scare. I've asked her to give me the detail of the doctor, so that I can make an appointment.

I really don't have mood after back home. Hubby came back and he knew that I'm not happy just now. I told him my case and he asked me to see the doctor that I've mentioned just now. He brought me and Marcus out for "jalan-jalan" in Pasar Malam. He kept on saying no scare, no scare, is a minor operation. After operation, then is ok....but I still very scare and worry!!!

Precious Moment

Hubby and I went to attend my parents friend's annual company dinner at 1919 Restaurant last night. Of coz my family also be there too. Every year my family and I will attend their annual company dinner, this year a bit special as I brought my son along. I still remembered that I was pregnant and almost due when I've attended this event last year. Hubby not with me that time as he has to attend his customer's annual dinner too.

We thought not to bring Marcus along as he's still sleeping at 7.30pm last night and the dinner started at 8pm. Luckily he woke up and we managed to give him porridge before we moved out. If not he needs to stay at home with my PIL.

The whole Restaurant crowded with the company staffs and friends, no outsider allowed. Many people want to carry my son once we've stepped in exspecially my mother and sister. May be too much people meet him together or may be he just woke up from bed, he started "lou kai" till end of the dinner. No one can carry him except hubby and I. Huh, I'm really tired to carry him with his weight now 9kg.

Luckily there's buffet dinner, if not I'm sure we will go home before the dinner end. There's a minutes where my parents can take photo with Marcus without crying, but no smile. Once I took few photos from them, Marcus started to cry and need me to carry him again. So, my parents managed to carry him for a minute last night......

My Valentine's Present

Sony Ericsson w810i

Oh, this is my Valentine's present from hubby this year. He gave me this mobile phone so early even though the day hasn't come. I have no more surprise during that day, my hubby is a person who don't know show the romantic to me AFTER married. Before we married, he will think and give me surprise in my birthday or other special day. But now, he just buy and give me a present only. May be he thinks that we are "lou fu lou ciat", no need do many things.

Actually he thought to buy me a new mobile phone in my birthday last year, but I've told him that mine is fine and look new, so better don't waste the money. But lately my sister showed me her new phone to me, and I like it. Hubby suggested that he wants to buy this mobile phone to me as Valentine's present and he will use the old one of mine.

Anyway, thank you, dear !!! I still have no idea what should I buy for him. May be I will give him a big KISS ??? Then, no need to buy present and save my $$$.....LOL!!!

Why Still Blogging ?

Tonight I will go sleep a bit late as I want to finish my paid post. I'll busy tomorrow from 8am till 6pm, need to take care of my son and keep an eyes on the maid who comes to my house for cleaning. She will comes to my house every two weeks, and her boss will be paid for RM50 each time.

I can't stop blogging each day, I think I'm addicted to it. LOL!!! I still have many topics in my mind and need to write it out in my other blogs but I really no time to do it now. Today, I just registed a new domain name, which I will specify the blog for my family only. Not like this "rojak" blog. Hopefully it can be done before Chinese New Year. Wow, that's mean I have 4 blogs!!! LOL !!! So, keep me update wth my new blog, ya???

Annual vs Farewell Dinner

I've attended my centre annual dinner with hubby yesterday night. This is the 4th time I've attended it, I guess. But this time is different as it's also a farewell dinner to my teachers whose will resign after Chinese New Year. All my partners came with their hubby, my two teachers attended and one was absence as she said that she's an important appointment last nite. What's so important date to her as we've informed her earlier about the dinner's date.

We went to have our dinner at FLAME Steamboat Restaurant, near Ipoh Padang which is established by a Hong Kong artist named "Cheng Hou Nam" year ago. It's been the 3rd time I visiting this restaurant, the food not so good if compare to other steamboat restaurant like MP (moven peak).

We thought to go TZ2, which is a disco and pub in Ipoh Garden East. We ended up cancelled it as one of my partner quarrelled with her hubby again. Actually it's a small piece of matter, I don't know more may be they felt this is not a small matter for them. We're not happy and sad to see them quarrelled again as they just good with each other weeks ago and want to build good relationship among each other Hopefully they'll settle the problem soon and good to each other again.

We then decided to go to Rum Jungle and have some drinks as hubby still have a bottle of Chivas over there. Wow, there are really crowded of people, is weekend and all youngster coming out for happening. Guess what? I drank Chivas wain, little bit of course and mixed with coca-cola. It's a good start for me to try out the wain. Hubby asked me to drink a bit so that I can help him if his friends force him to drink. I think little bit of wain is good for our blood circulation, right?

I Spent $$$ Again

I spent money again today!!! You may asking me where and what you've spent it? Ok, this time not go for shopping, but I went to cut and dye (included for treatment) my hair with my friend - Jacelyn again. It almost 9 months that I haven't dye my hair.

Actually Valentine's day and Chinese New Year are coming soon, we want to beautify ourself before these big days. We spent few hundreds each, huh, luckily hubby didn't scold me. But I'm sure he won't and can't coz I made myself more pretty, he will proud of me. But his pocket gonna be on fire. Somemore I still need to buy myself and his some new clothes for Chinese New Year.

We spent almost 5 hours in the saloon, I've done in 3 hours but I need to wait for my friend for another 2 hours. Why??? Jacelyn, can you answer it??? She wants to dye her hair again as her hair every shinny due to the highlight colour she chose. She said that she scared to go out from the saloon, even don't want to go home with her dyed hair. So, I need to stay with her as she don't have car to go home then. Jacelyn, you have to "belanja" me leh.....Don't get angry I just joking lah, take it easy !!!

Midnight Milk

Normally Marcus will wake up about 7am every morning. He never ever sleep late from it since he was born. Guess what? He woke up at 9am this morning, and I really have a good sleep this morning. Such a good boy if he can wake up late every day. Then mummy can sleep 2 hours more. LOL!!!

But he still wake up during midnight for milk, even though he's now 1 year old. How to stop for midnight milk? Some of my relatives and friends told me let him cry on the bed, don't give him milk and he will sleep back when tried. I can't do that to him, so pity to see him cry because of the hunger. I'm sure will wake up and feed him milk.

I knew some of their babies won't wake up during midnight and sleep till morning. How's great of it. I don't know when my son really can't stop for the midnight milk thought he's have his dinner around 7pm something and drink milk before sleep. Any mummy out there can share her experience to me on how to stop for midnight milk?

Domain Name

I thought to get myself a domain name to write about my family only. First, I need to register the name before I can get it. I've few name with me but all unavailable when I searched for it. I've been searching for the other name too, but still unavailable. Huh, why all the name I wanted so unique that no one available for me.

I still thinking what's other name as I really don't have any idea on it since I've tried many time to search the name. Don't say that I have to check dictionary for a name, oh.....Any other nice name that can share and suggest to me? How about use my own name, must be available for me but not special. Anywhere, hoping that I can find a good name for my website.
