New Clothes Again

We received another box of goodies from Koo Mah in HK yesterday. There were several boxes of Organix organic baby cereal for Baby C, some Disney stickers and activity books, some ELC magnetic board and clothes again! Alycia and Sherilyn received some very nice Zara Kids apparel and Alycia who loves wearing jeans was smiling from cheek to cheek when she saw that she's got a few new pairs of jeans again. Now, she's got more than 4 new pairs of Zara Kids jeans and more than 3 pairs of denim jeans skirt.




This hip denim skirt from Zara Kids even comes with a cute chicken key chain.


This is for 7-8 year olds, so I will have to keep this first.


Even I like this pair of Zara Kids pedal pusher jeans.

Aly and Sher also received some Zara Kids t-shirts and Baby C also got a very cute Disney Baby dress. Thank you koo mah once again for all the clothes.

Mobile Homes

I have always loved the neighborhood that I am currently staying in. This housing estate is serene, is situated at a very strategic location and the amenities are complete. I don’t even need a car as my house is within walking distance to all the shops, restaurants, clinics, schools and hospital. Most of the houses in this housing estate are over 20 years of age. Despite the fact that these houses are old, the prices of these houses remain exorbitant ranging from a minimum of half a million ringgit to a few million ringgit each. That’s expected in view of the reasons that I had stated above. Many of my friends who have been to my house tell me that they like this housing estate very much as well but they cannot afford to purchase a house from this neighborhood. If only there were mobile homes for sale in our country, I am sure many people would opt to purchase new mobile homes and erect these mobile homes in this housing estate as mobile homes are less expensive per square foot than site-built homes.

Mobile homes or static caravans are prefabricated homes built in factories, rather than on site, and then transported to the site where they will be occupied. They are usually transported by tractor-trailers over public road to sites which are often in rural areas or high-density developments.

In some countries like the U.S., mobile homes are very popular. Many people who cannot afford a traditional site-built home or do not desire to spend a large sum of money on housing buy mobile homes as a viable alternative for long-term housing needs.

Baby C Finally Had An Explosive Poo Poo!

After 3 days of not being able to poo poo, Baby C had an 'explosive' poo poo last night. It was so explosive that her diaper was flooded with her mud-like poop and it even seeped out and stained her bouncinet.

After the big time relief, Baby C was obviously very happy and smiling away as she felt so comfortable.


The bag of poop!


Can you tell me if these dots look like chicken pox? I saw these dots on Sher's body today. Check out my other blog to read on...

Alycia Can Shower On Her Own!

Ever since Alycia turned 3 years old, she has been quite independant and obedient, unlike Sherilyn who is the polar opposite of her sister. Seeing that Alycia can take instructions fairly well, I taught her to shower herself today. I told her her to scrub her hair, armpits, feet, in between of all her toes and other parts of her body and she did quite well. She can also brush her teeth on her own, wash her face and wipe herself dry all on her own. Very soon, she will be able to shower herself, with me supervising her outside the bathroom. It will definitely be slower if she showers herself and I won't be able to allow her to shower on her own if we are in a hurry to go out.

Alycia Hogs The TV

Recently, Alycia discovered her new feat, that is to switch channels with the Astro remote control. Now, she knows what numbers to press to switch to her favorite channels and does not need to ask me anymore. She dominates the TV most of the time and sometimes, her mah mah is even forced to accompany her watch cartoons! She even hogs mah mah's lazy chair... but mah mah loves her too much to say no to her. She's really spoilt!

Everyone Loves Baby C

I am really thankful that both Alycia and Sherilyn love Baby C very much and have never once shown any jealousy or resentment towards their little sister. Many times after I had scolded them for being naughty and they got angry with me, they said this to me "I don't love you mummy but I love baby". That shows they really love their baby sister very much. Sometimes, Sherilyn would say this to me when I'm angry with her as she knows that this would melt my heart : "mummy, I love baby", and then she would hug my leg. How can I still be angry with her, right?

Baby C Is Super Cranky

Baby C is super cranky today and that's because she has not been able to poo poo for the second day today. Since a newborn, she's never had problem with constipation and I am really worried for her. If she still can't poo poo by tomorrow, I'll bring her to the pediatrician. Hopefully this will not aggravate her kidney reflux.

Worried....

I am really worried coz Baby C can't poo poo for 2 days. I've been massaging her tummy continuously today and making "hmmmm hmmmm" sounds to stimulate her senses to poo poo but nothing seemed to work. Now I am beginning to suspect if her constipation is caused by the double dosage of Millennium Cactus juice that I've been feeding her over the past 2 days. She also has a rash breakout on her cheeks.

Tomboy Alycia

Alycia has got tomboy taste when it comes to her selection of clothes. Whilst I love her to be in pretty frocks and dresses, she prefers jeans and t-shirts. I prefer her to be in dresses coz it's easier to bring her to public toilets to pee and she looks more feminine.

Mini Bento Lunch Box

I prepared a mini bento lunch box for Alycia and Sherilyn today. Well, I think it's more of a pre-schooler lunch box than a bento lunch box as I only prepared something light and easy to eat, so that my slowcoach Sherilyn can finish her food within 10-15 minutes during recess.




Star-shaped fried egg and longan (seeds removed). Whilst Alycia came home with an empty lunch box, Sherilyn my slowcoach eater only ate the longans and left the egg untouched and only ate it during lunch at home. She must have spent all her time chewing on the longan flesh and didn't have time to wallop the egg.

Cassandra At 3 Months 1 Week

These days, Cassandra does not like to be placed in a supine position (on her back) anymore. When she's placed on her back, she will either turn to her side and tries to flip over or she will scream to be picked up. The other day, she was screaming away when I put her on my bed. When I placed her on my pillow, so that she's in a sitting position, her face lit up and she smiled and kicked her legs gleefully.

Baby C's favorite pass time is to suck her fist. I just can't resist squeezing her hands when I see her chubby piglet-like hands.

Baby C has also discovered that she can put her hands together and now likes to clasp them, as if she's praying.

How I Spent My Sunday

I had a sumptuous Japanese buffet lunch at Zipangu Japanese Restaurant, Shangri La today.

Check out how I spent my Sunday today here.

Baby C Wants To Flip

For the past one week, Baby C has shown interest in flipping over. She manages to turn half way and then gets stuck there. And when she's stuck on her side, she cries and screams away like an angry cat, on the verge of fighting with its enemy. When I go to her rescue by pushing her gently, she will succeed in turning over. I then helped her by putting her hands forward and then she pushed her arms up and raised her head proudly, like she's achieved a great milestone. I am so happy of her milestone.

Check out my other blog to see Baby C on her tummy with her head raised up in victory.

Faulty Computer

Remember I wrote earlier that there is something wrong with my PC, where it would take 2 hours for my PC to start up? For 3 days, I had to wake up at 5am to turn on my PC so that I can start using my PC at 7am. I thought there was something wrong with the connection of the CAT5e cable or the CPU but on the 4th day, the problem was resolved by itself. However, the monitor would be shaky and vibrate once in a while. I better get the computer guy to bring my CPU to his shop to have it investigated before something really major happens.

Arla Kids' Cheese Sticks

My mil bought this pack of cheese sticks for the gals last week. Looking at the nutritional information, I see that this brand of cheese does not contain coloring and preservative. Almost all brands of cheese that I know of have coloring and preservative in them, except Babybel cheese. My 2 older gals absolutely love these sticks and the sticks were all snapped up within a few days.

US$100 Million Mansion!

Can you guess how much Donald Trump sold his Palm Beach mansion to a Russian billionaire recently? A whopping US$100 million! This figure is really mind boggling and his spokesman said that the amount is the most ever paid for an estate in the U.S., though there is no way to verify the claim. Trump’s Palm Beach mansion is magnificent and is as beautiful as the beachfront St. Martin villa rentals in the beautiful Caribbean. But US$100 million for a mansion, would you buy it if you were a billionaire?

Fruity Lunch Box

Alycia and Sherilyn can't eat much during their recess in pre-school as they are only allocated 10-15 minutes to eat. Whenever I put too much food into their lunch boxes, they will bring the food back, which will eventually go into the dustbin. So, I normally pack very little food (mostly finger food) into their lunch boxes. The other day, I bought a huge cantaloupe and cut them into cute shapes for their lunch boxes. It was a great hit with them and they even requested for the same thing the following day.

My Melody shaped cantaloupe.




Heart shape, crescent shape and mushrooom shape cantaloupe.

Baby C, The Living Doll

Alycia and Sherilyn absolutely adore playing with Baby C, kissing her and hugging her. Most times, they will fight with each other to play with Baby C, as if she were a doll.

And as for Baby C, she enjoys all the attention from her 2 older sisters and never gets tired of family members, including kakak talking, playing and singing to her.





Sisters play turned awry and Sher got really upset that baby only smiled to cheh cheh Alycia and not her. See how upset Sher is here.

Baby C still wears mittens occasionally, as she tends to scratch her face, tug her ears and put both her fists into her mouth till she pukes!

You Will Count Your Blessings When You See Other People's Sufferings

When hubby and I were waiting outside one of the X-ray rooms in the Radiology Department of Hospital UKM yesterday, there were many patients waiting for their turns too. I saw an Indian man lying in the hospital bed and under the covers, I could see that his left leg was amputated from the thigh down and his right leg amputated from the knee down. There was a deadpan expression hanging on his face and he was obviously devastated.

Next to me was a Malay man with his 4-month old baby son in the pram. As he sat there patiently waiting for his turn, he kept talking lovingly to his baby. He just sat there and talked lovingly non-stop for almost 2 hours to his baby son. This man seemed to be a very loving and patient father. His baby appears to have Down's Syndrome and appears really sick and frail, with black rings under his eyes. I struck a conversation with him to remove my own worries and anxiousness. He told me that his baby was born without an anus and has problems with his guts. There is a cathether (don't know what you call this equipment) attached outside his stomach to help him defecate. His baby has to do an x-ray before being operated on. As Baby C was crying incessantly, the radiologist asked this man if he could bring his baby up back to their room in the ward (his son was hospitalized) so that Baby C could go in first into the X-ray room. The man willingly obliged without any anger shown on his kind face and I felt really bad. I said 'good luck' to him and we parted ways.

Inside the X-ray room was another 3 month old baby boy. Apparently, there were some complications during the procedure and he spent more than an hour in the X-ray room. I think he has some problems with his kidneys too. His parents had a worried and anxious look hanging on their faces and there wasn't a smile. I understood fully how they felt for I felt the same too. When the procedure was over, his parents and grandparents went into the X-ray room to bring him out. He was put back in his cot and there was a huge oxygen tank attached to his bed. The baby's skin color was very yellow. When I saw all these unlucky people, I felt 'lucky' that Baby C's problem isn't as serious as theirs. Sometimes, we need to compare our situation with other people who aren't as fortunate as us and we will feel thankful to God for what has been given to us.

An Embarrasing Moment In The Hospital

When we were waiting for Baby C's turn to be carried into the X-ray room, something really embarrasing happened. I was seated next to an Indian lady and suddenly, Baby C let out a real loud fart and moments later, I felt something hot on my hand. I knew she had poo pooed and I just had a guts feeling that she had pooed all over me as her diaper was loosely fastened because of the urine bag and cathether....and true enough, her poop was everywhere on my jeans and top. All I could say was "oh sh*t, oh sh*t!" As I carried her to my hubby who was on the phone with his client, the poop dropped on the floor. Hubby quickly hung up and carried Baby C while I ran to the stroller to get some wet wipes and to find a toilet. As hubby was carrying her, her poop trailed the floor and all the patients (already with a gloomy look hanging on their faces) stared at us, as if we had done something wrong... as we had dirtied the hospital floor with our baby's poop.

Ok, toilet found. We quickly put Baby C on a chair outside the toilet and quickly wiped her with wet wipes. Hubby and I both had poop on our clothes but my clothes were really badly stained with her poop. Fortunately breastfed babies don't have stinky poop and we did not smell of poop. I used heaps of wet wipes to wipe the poop away from my clothes.

Next, Baby C was crying for milk. I found a corner and quickly let her latch on. She was so famished that she was sucking ravenously and oh my, her suckling sounds were really loud in the waiting room that was filled with silence and gloom. All heads and eyes were towards me and I quickly covered myself with my scarf and hubby also tried to shelter me a bit.
