things that you can find in a resume

hobby: eating, sleeping, shopping

will you call him/ her for an interview? why not?

on a weekend....
it is not always i get to snap a morning pic of hubby with the two kids... every weekday morning, daniel will be sent to por por house and comes home onli at late evening..... this is a moment to treasure

me + my 2 babies

with my cool looking sweetheart girl

and with my cheeky darling boy

busy + lazy

been a while since i last updated my blog and my kids' blogs.... reason: this mummy has been so lazy on weekdays and too busy on weekends.... yeah... time are spent so much on the kids when i am at home... imagine if i do not have my mum's or my MIL's help.... i think i will drop dead tired everyday! and did i say i spent so much time on facebook as well? :)

since i am staying at home this few days to clear my annual leave that i hv some time to update the blogs... and of course with some hint fom my good fren SL that i have not been updating the blogs lately, i have no choice but to move my butt and blog lor.... hehehe

anyway, it will be x'mas soon... looking forward to visit my grandma in s'pore.... of course i am not traveling alone... it will be the whole gang... well, almost the whole gang minus my FIL..... meaning there will be me with hubby, daniel, annabelle, my parents, MIL, sis & KJ, bro & kar lai....

what happens when i put both my kids near each other? answer: STRESS (at least that is what daniel thinks)
daniel @ 17+ mths old & annabelle @ 2+ months old

labor story 2

hehehe... the title of this post some sort of like a movie title hor
e.g. toy story, toy story 2 etc....

compare to daniel's labor story, this will be a shorter one coz this time round, ananbelle's delivery was a planned c-section

Hospital Arunamari, Klang

15/6/09
7am- check in to hospital, pay RM 3000 deposit by credit card (i remembered daniel's one, i no need to pay up front but it was at another private hospital lah or maybe becoz this time is a planned c-section, so they can estimate the minimum cost oledi)
7.30am- nurse cleaned and got me ready for the c-section...
8.15am- i was sent to the operating theatre but need to wait a while... hubby waited for me outside the operating theatre...... chat with one nurse, her name oso Peggy... hehehe..

the last thing i remember, i was rolled into the operating theatre... can see some of the equipments but a bit blur coz me did not wear specs of contact lense mah

and when i woke up, sister Peggy was calling me
"Peck Yee, Peck Yee, wake up. You have delivered oledi. Everything is ok"

annabelle was born at 8.33am

i was still blur blur and sleepy coz i had general anaesthestic.... and i was sleepy for that one whole day

but i remember see-ing hubby for a while when the nurses was pushing me back to my ward while i asleep on the bed...

my parents, PIL, daniel came to visit me around 10am plus... i realised i miss daniel so much though i just didn't see him for that morning

in conclusion, this time round, no need to wait for dilation, no induction... just straight to deliver by c-section

i am glad that annabelle is born healthily
may she grow up healthily too

3rd kid next? hmmm.... don't think so.... but we will never know....

:)

my family

i know this picture is not perfect in showing you "my family"

it is so difficult to get daniel to sit down quietly and pose for the camera

as for annabelle, she is still in the "sleeping" mode (and occasionally crying mode)

Y2009 Mothers' Day this is the 2nd year me is a Mother.... last year, daniel was only a month old... and now he is one year old plus.... and annabelle is on the way..... how time flies..... and hubby surprised me with a belated mothers' day cake on may 12th.... though a belated one but it was very thoughtful of him... no fancy dinner, no fancy gift...but a simple & very meaningful cake... thanks dear!

daniel so sweet...

yday nite before sleep, as usual hubby & i will spend time with daniel before he really sleeps...

hubby went downstairs to the hall for a while.... i called out to daniel

me: daniel, come sayang "mei mei" (while i used my hand to pat my tummy)

daniel then crawl to me, put his head on my tummy and sayang sayang "mei mei"

i was surprised. normally i got to force him come near me and kiss my tummy.... but yday nite, he did it so willingly and lovingly... my boy is growing... he will be a "kor kor" soon....

i was so LAM(touched) by his reaction..... too bad hubby was not around to share it with me.....

hopefully both daniel and "mei mei" will grow up together wihtout much fights.... hehehehe

funny dream

Yday I had a funny dream.. wanna blog about it.....

Hubby, me & daniel walked into a bak kut teh shop
He asked me to go walk around and leave him & daniel there
I asked WHY
He just said GO LAH

Then I left the restaurant
This restaurant very funny one
It is like an illegal place where after I leave, they put the door grill locked and cannot see from outside one
All SEALED

Then I suspect something fishy
And guess what?
Hubby meet his EX-GF lah

I of course pissed off lah
Esp with my son with hubby and his EX
I keep on banging on the restaurant door and shouted for them to open the door

Then I dunno how I managed to open up a bit of the door
I shouted YANG YANG, YANG YANG DARLING… DANIEL BOY…..
WHERE ARE YOU? COME MUMMY HERE? (my heart was saying LEAVE YOUR STUPID DADDY WITH THAT WOMAN LAH!!!!)

Then other customers feel pity for me and went to look daniel for me

Suddenly…. My alarm clock ring lor

:)

sad to happen

if you have been reading my blog, you will know that my 5th uncles's wife, auntie tuck is the one who helped to cut daniel's hair since he is a baby....

though we stay in setia alam, we will travel all the way to her small shop at sri sinar just to have her cut daniel's hair... why? she's an expert in her profession... though she is not a professional hairstylist but she was the one most of us in my family turn to when we need a haircut.... and when i mean family, it includes my late grandmother, my immediate family & the latest addition, daniel boy...

but sad to happen, at age of mid-40s, she passed away yesterday... heart attack.... she first felt unwell on saturday morning and then was admitted to the hospital.....

but she passed away just one day after that....

one day we could be walking, talking, laughing and suddenly you feel unwell, and just passed away.....

life is so unpredictable.....

married to my uncle for 5 years.... can still remember their marriage day..... feb 29th '04 (leap year).....

but they "pak thor" for more than 20 years before tied the knot
though she left no children behind but she will always be remembered by us...

too bad i cannot offer her my last respect as i could not attend any funerals at this time... but at least hubby & MIL attended on my behalf........

may you rest in peace, auntie tuck....

week 34

gynae said me gained too much weight of 1.5kg in two weeks time....

first time since the first check-up that he commented this

which means i have been eating A LOT recently

can't deny the fact that it is true....

midnite porridge/ milk for me else cannot sleep-lah

just got to make sure i eat healthily :)

khoo sue ennthis is my cute niece.... she was born march 3rd '09 but this lazy kam moh onli now upload her photo now... sorry baby.....

her name is sue enn.... nice name hor..... may she grow up healthily..... prettily......

@week 30

last week's check-up gynae predict bb no.2 is now around 1.8kg.... as for me, total weight gain is onli 7kg from day 1 of check-up... very little gained hor.... considering my tummy looks big and low... some frens said i look like can give birth anytime from now....

hopefully i can wait till week 38 for c-section.... which means count down 7 more weeks to go before welcoming annabelle.....

on off bought some stuff for her... pacifiers (to me, very important), cloth napkins (still got mamypoko diapers stock at home which daniel no longer can wear), new bb mittens, gloves, few pieces of new clothings.....

and seems like i start to have midnite hunger.... MIL will prepared some porridge for me... else i would need at least a small packet of milk before i can fell back to sleep.... i can still remember when i was pregnant with daniel, my midnite hunger started at week 12.... but with bb no. 2, it onli started at week 30... so much the difference ah.... does it mean bb no.2 is a smaller eater compare to her kor-kor? hmmmm......

daniel now and then

both this pics taken on april 8th....

first one was in 2008, the day he was born and the 2nd pic taken recently when he turned 1 yr old... miss his babies days......

today, one year ago

yeah... time flies

my darling daniel baby boy turns 1 year old
he was born 3.17pm.... almost this time one year ago

i can still remember clearly how i checked-in to the hospital to be induced after 3 days due... accompanied by hubby, i was at the hospital so the early in the morning..... but after the induction failed, daniel was born to this world through emergency caesarean.....

while hubby have to wait for me at the private ward, i was lead into the surgery theatre... and within a short time, daniel boy is born.... i remembered clearly the doctor told me IT'S A BOY and showed him to me(though i didn't really get to see/ touch him immediately)

and i did i asked the doctor HOW COME MY BABY IS NOT CRYING?

the doctor answered.... WE GOT TO LET HIM SUCK bla bla bla first.... yeah.... forgot what he said liao. was a bit blur then

i can still remember the pain i had to endure after he painkiller no longer helps..... but it is worth all the pain when i see daniel boy..... his first cry... his first smile.....

and now as he turned 1 year old , my wish for him is to grow healthily, have respect to the elders, be loving, caring and sharing to everyone.....

we love you so much, baby.....

Food Quote

forgot where i read it from but it is meaningful

for breakfast, eat like a king

for lunch, eat like a prince

for dinner, eat like a beggar

daniel's walking

must jot this down before i forget

daniel has been learning to walk for the past month and two days ago, i saw he can walk on his own without any aid... 10 steps!!!!! another milestone for him

proud of my baby.......

at 11 mths old soon, he oledi start walking.... my mum told me i onli started to take my first step when i exactly turned 1 yr old... and now my baby can walk earlier than me

these days, you can see him walk more than crawl........ not that he can walk very steadily...... but he can walk from one point to another point.... for those distance which is far e.g. from living hall to the kitchen, he will still crawl....

what' next? running around the house and shopping centre??? which means more chasing to do.....

23 weeks pregnant

first time blogging about lam junior no.2

due date june 26th but plan for a c-section at week 39... hopefully june 19th then.....

compare to first pregnancy, nothing much different
- touch wood, no morning sickness/ vomitting from day one... just a bit nausea for the first two weeks....
- but seems to be eating less compare to first time when i was pregnant with daniel... not much appettite...
- tummy now looks big as many ppl commented.... most probably because i have not loose the first pregnancy weight yet...so, some ppl thought my bb is almost due soon.... hehehehe
- weight gain wise, slower than first preganancy... as i enter 6th month soon, onli gained about 3kg but still, the tummy looks super big

feelings: worry at the initial stage.... because of the short gap from the first ceasarean.... but happy that hubby and i will have another child soon.... know that he wants a daughter and as gynae said, this time is 95% baby girl for us.... he said another 5% to confirm is to see the baby when she is born... true oso... nothing is 100%

financial planning $$$

some of my collegues and i recently attended a grooming & business etiquette class... one part of the training was on financial planning

do you agree with this???

from you salary,

55% goes to necessities (loans, , bills, petrol, meals etc..)
10% --> playing (entertainment e.g. karaoke, cinema etc..)
10% --> learning (attend baking, sewing, make-up class etc...)
10% --> financial freedom accounts (for retirement purposes)
10% --> long term investments
5% --> charity(for parents, to donate)

sick cats

blame it on the weather.... that is the best excuse

yup.. it is the flu season

the weak ones namely me and daniel boy has been sick for days

for daniel case, last sunday note was the first time he got fever... it was already 10pm but hubby & i decided it is best to see paed... however, no paed/ doc is available at the medical centre for night treatment unless for emergency case, only a medical officer attended to us...

first, the nurse took daniel's temperature... 39 celcius... poor baby
the medical officer said not to worry... daniel was given a pill to reduce fever and fever medicine to bring home....

luckily after one nite, his fever reduced bit by bit.... and by monday evening, he was already jumping as normal... however, during daytime, he was super clining to his Mah Mah....

and two days ago, daniel started to cough and got phlegm plus running nose.... took him to see paed... given 3 types of medicine which he HATES... each time feed him with the medicine, he will scream, cry and kick his legs and tried to push away our hands with all his might.... no choice.... we still have to force it down his throat.. if the phlegm get worse, will have to send him to see paed again...

as for me, sore throat and cough and a bit of running nose..... was on MC yesterday.... and today still coughing... tried to wear the face mask to reduce the germs that i am spreading around... but it make me breathless... onli wear it once a while....

so, i just tried to limit close contacts with daniel boy....

hopefully me and daniel will get well soon...
