Baby C Has Started To Creep!

Baby C has started to creep!! But she's creeping backwards.... everywhere on the floor lol! Despite having another UTI attack, this has not deterred my tough cookie from exploring the house with her new found feat.

My First Try In Making Bento Eggs For Kids

and it turned out quite well. The eggs I used were kampung chicken eggs (free-range chicken eggs) and though they were a tad too big for the egg mould, nonetheless it turned out quite well. I used a spoon to scrape off the extra egg whites outside the mould. Alycia and Sherilyn were really tickled pink to see their hard-boiled eggs in the shape of a car and a fish! Too bad the Winnie The Pooh egg mould that I had initially ordered were all sold out, otherwise the gals would also have Pooh Bear shaped hard-boiled eggs for breakfast and to bring to school.

My New Bento Tools Finally Arrived

My bento tools ordered from http://www.nst.my/ finally arrived today after a wait of almost a month for the shipment to arrive from Japan. Alycia and Sher were very thrilled to see those bento stuff, especially the sauce pens. Alycia kept asking me to draw this and that with jams and sauces on her food! She even asked me if she could draw a party hat on her rice by herself lol! I shall start having fun with those tools tomorrow!

Traumatic Time For Baby C

Baby C had a real traumatic time at the hospital today when the pediatric nephrologist inserted the catheter into her urethra. Read the rest of the story at my other blog by clicking on the link above.

Multi-Grain Rice

My mil bought this pack of multi-grain rice with over 10 types of grains from sprouted rice to wheat, millet, black beans, sesame seeds, brown rice, green beans and much more. She bought it from Jaya Jusco. This type of rice is a healthier alternative to white rice. It tastes good and chewy, besides being wholesome.

Potty-Training Baby C

Check out why I am potty-training Baby C now when she's only 4 months.

Deep Fried Mee Suah With Yummy Egg Sauce And Fish Paste

As promised, here are the pix of the noodles that I cooked for lunch yesterday. With my right hand carrying Baby C, I held the spatula with my left hand and cooked the sauce for the pre-cooked/deep fried mee suah with my left hand. It was such a hit with Alycia and Sherilyn. The noodles were very crispy and the egg sauce with fish paste went very well with the noodles.


Ingredients for the sauce : 2 eggs beaten, choy sum, fish paste, garlic, soya sauce, a dash of brown sugar (optional), some corn flour, water and pepper. Once the sauce and ingredients are cooked, pour the sauce over the pre-cooked mee suah.


The pre-cooked/deep fried mee suah can be eaten on its own, like the snack Mamee. Yums!

I Love This Huge Bed!

I placed Baby C on her cheh chehs' queen size mattress the other day and as she lay there alone, she stared at the moving fan on the ceiling, then she stared at the huge bed, then she stared at the colorful Princess bedsheet with eyes wide opened....

then she gave me a grin as she was happy to have the bed all to herself.....



then she stared at herself in the mirror and I sang "Who's that baby looking at the mirror" song to her..... and she gave me her heart-melting wide grin. She just loves looking at herself and at me at the mirror.

A Carb-Filled Breakfast

I had a real sinful breakfast heavily laden with carb today. I ate a slice of pandan layer cake, a slice of light and moist cheese cake, a large slice of green tea, wolfberries and sunflower seeds bread and a cranberry cream cheese bun! Hubby didn’t know that his mother had already bought buns and a cheese cake from our favorite bakery in the afternoon and he bought more buns and a pandan layer cake from this bakery when he picked Alycia up after ballet class yesterday evening. So how can I resist those tempting carbs sitting nicely on the dining table, you tell me? What’s the meaning of life if I can only drool on my favorite food and not eat them, right? It’s big time torturous if I were to force myself to eat cabbage and grapefruit all the time. I’d rather have a little indulgence and I can always get a pack of Slimquick if I need to get slim quickly. But right now, I am in no great hurry to get slim quickly.

The Mischievous One With A Mysterious Sleeping Position

That's Sherilyn my mischievous rascal sleeping in a wierd position. When the little mind is always up to mischief, I suppose the body also acts mischievously and mysteriously.... even during sleeping mode! This picture was taken when Alycia and Sherilyn were having their afternoon nap. I know I have to wean Sherilyn off wearing diapers too but aiyah, I am just too lazy. I gotta kick my butt to do it soon to save some money on disposable diapers.

Call Me Cheh Cheh, Aunty Not

I was jogging the other morning when I saw a toddler around 14 - 16 months. He was also jogging with his grand dad on the road. When the baby boy saw me, he called me "cheh cheh". Hahaha..... the baby called me "cheh cheh" wor, not "aun-tee" wor! Words that come out from a kid's mouth are often very genuine yer know. My head was sooooo heavy that I felt I was about to trip and fall LOL! Many people were often in disbelief when they found out that I have 3 kids, ahem! My former boss once told me that I can even pass off as a teenager! I must thank my parents' 'young look' genes for both my parents look very young for their age too.

Do kids call you cheh cheh or aun-tee?

What's For Dinner Tonight?

My mil is a good cook. In under an hour, she can turn these simple veggies and chicken:

into these dishes:

steamed chicken,


stir-fried yellow bell pepper with long beans and fresh mushrooms,


Stir-fried eggplants with minced chicken meat and fermented soy beans and organic bitter gourd omelette.

Whenever my mil is around, we can have dinner at 6:30pm but when she's away, we only get to eat dinner at 8pm!

TV's The Best Babysitter

Do you let the TV babysit your kids too?

The Toast @ Gardens, Mid Valley

We had breakfast at The Toast @ Gardens today. Hubby seems to like the food at this place. They have all the simple breakfast items from nasi lemak to kaya toasts, french toasts, chee cheong fun, curry mee, the basic Western breakfast, white coffee and much more. This hawker-style cafe is always fully packed with patrons and there was a long beeline at the cafe today.

The sunny-side-up eggs were a tad raw, so we had them re-fried.


I love the french toast. The toast is sandwiched with peanut butter and the outer layer is of course egg and glazed with kaya. Very delicious.... and fattening too! If only they had wholemeal bread, it wouldn't be that fattening.


The iced white coffee is very refreshing.


I find the sambal on the nasi lemak too spicy, so spicy that I choked on the first bite!

After breakfast, we went shopping.

Our Sunday

We had a typical Sunday today. As usual, if it involves going to the church, the morning would be a total madness rush. I woke up at 6am, went jogging, came back and had a quick shower, woke Aly and Sher up, fixed them milk, Baby C woke up, nursed her and changed her, fixed Aly and Sher breakfast, had to placate Sher who had a meltdown (she seems to be getting into meltdowns everyday lately) bathed Aly and Sher, hubby dressed them up and blew dry their hair 'salon style' :), then bathed Baby C and rushed off to the church. Hubby then brought mil to the market to shop for the week's supply of meat.

After church, we had Japanese buffet lunch at PJ Hilton.

How was your Merdeka Sunday?




Alycia and Sherilyn with their favorite Sunday School teachers, Jeff and Shir Lin. They had stopped teaching Sunday School when both hubby and wife went to Singapore to work. They were back for a holiday this weekend.




Baby C (wearing a onesie that Aunty Barb gave her) sat on her stroller and was very good - didn't cry, poo poo or kick up a big fuss, phew!

Awesome Mah Mah

Mah Mah went to Mid Valley Megamall with her friends 2 days ago. Whenever she goes shopping, she never fails to buy something back for us to eat. Here's what she bought us and we had these for lunch :

Red bean pau from Dragon-I Chinese Restaurant, in the shape of pig's head, LOL! One for Alycia and one for Sherilyn.


Stir-fried lai meen from Dragon-I.


KFC, my favorite!

She also bought cakes, buns and my favorite breads from my favorite bakery. Awesome right, this mah mah?

What Kind Of Mother Are You?

I just love observing how other parents handle their kids whenever I wait for my turn to see my doctor in the hospital. Today whilst I was waiting for our turn to see the pediatric nephrologist at SJMC, I observed many parents who came in with their kids.

One mother came in with her toddler who was about 9 months old to a year old and she had fever. The baby was very cute with big round eyes and she was really chubby and BIG! The baby's mother and the baby's grandmother were very BIG too. Though the baby had fever, her mother let her loose and she was crawling everywhere on the hospital floor. I just can't stand kids running around bare-footed or crawling on hospital floors and floors of public places. The carpets must be teeming with looming germs, not to mention dirt, dust mites and dust.

After crawling for a while, the baby's grandmother carried her whilst the baby's mother opened the wrapper of a bar of chocolate. I was curious to know if she would feed her baby the chocolate and yes, she did. She bit the chocolate, then spat it out and put the chocolate into her baby's mouth, many times .... and her baby was having fever. I was really amazed with this lady and some other parents. They seem so blase and 'cincai' when it comes to their baby's hygiene and with the choice of their baby's food. I am one health freak mommy who would never let my babies crawl on the floors of public places and would never feed my babies with chocolates when they are having fever. Would you?

What A Mum.... and Would You Do It?

This is a backdated post.

About 3 months ago when I was waiting outside our paed's clinic in the hospital, I saw a mother of 2 walking into the waiting area. She has a 2-3 year old toddler walking next to her and another probably 9 month old to a year old toddler in a stroller. When my eyes shifted to her baby in the stroller, I was horrified and aghast. Guess what she gave her baby to chew on? Just take a guess. I bet no one in their right frame of mind would give this to their baby in replacement of a teething ring. Guess guess guess....... what.....














I saw the baby chewing on a shoe.... yes, you read me right. The cute and beautiful baby with big round eyes was chewing on a bright colored plastic Crocs shoe. I was so disgusted and quickly fixated my eyes on the shoe, just to make sure that the shoe was clean, brand new and not a dirty shoe. Ok, it looked clean but but but... a shoe for your toddler to chew on? I took a closer look at the shoe to see if it's a teething ring in the shape of a shoe but nope, it was indeed a Crocs shoe! OMG, what was the mother thinking of? The paint or the plastic from the shoe could come off easily and if ingested it's toxic for Pete's sake. Minutes later, I saw the baby who was chewing on the shoe crawling everywhere on the hospital floor.... bare-footed and bare hands! Of all places, the mother let her baby crawl on the hospital floor! How clean can that be! And the mother doesn't look uneducated, she had an educated look, is pretty and has the 'rich lady' look too but the way she handled her baby makes me think she's someone from a kampung.

About an hour later when she left, her baby was still sucking the Crocs shoe! Goodness gracious! Aiyoh.... I can never forget this incident! Would you ever give your teething toddler a brand new shoe to bite even if it's disinfected? Come on, be frank with me.

I rather let my baby chew on some durians than on a shoe!

We Need A New Shower Faucet

The hand-held shower faucet in my bathroom is broken again and the water is straying in all directions each time I shower the gals. Guess who broke the faucet? My 2 rascals of course. I better get the broken faucet replaced with a new Hansgrohe shower faucet fast, otherwise I would be all wet each time I shower them. This time, I should get the shower faucet affixed to the wall so that it will be out of bounds from my 2 rascals.
