Lovely Dinner... At Home

2 weeks ago, hubby's aunty who had just returned from a business trip in Kuching bought us some goodies from Kuching.



The famous Sarawak layered cake which cost over RM35 for a small piece. The cake was layered intricately with different colors. I liked the cake as it wasn't too sweet.

She also bought a huge pomfret fish....


and also stuffed a whole chicken, roasted it and brought it to our house for dinner.

The delicious roast chicken stuffed with garlic, big onions, rosemary herbs and wedges of lemon for a tinge of zesty lemon taste. Within minutes, the whole chicken was wolfed down by everyone who was famished!

We had a real sumptuous dinner that night.

Having Fun Painting Keychains

Whilst unpacking the gals' new toys, stationery, books, flash cards and stickers from the boxes and into the drawers, I found some new arts and craft stuffs that one of the gals' aunties bought for them quite some time ago. Alycia and Sher couldn't wait to lay their hands painting the plastic keychains and did the painting on the dining table right after dinner.

Within half an hour, Alycia and Sher finished painting all the keychains... and my maid had to wash them everyday so that they could re-paint them the following day.

Long School Holidays

Today is the first day of the long school holidays. I am getting the jitters coz I will have 2 rambunctious brats with me at home 24/7, badgering me for things all the time, especially Sherilyn, my little Miss Whiny. I can’t blame them coz any kid would get bored being cooped up at home for 1.5 months. How nice it would be if we had the money to bring the kids for some Disney vacations in Orlando. I’ll bet I’ll get no whining and fussing from the kids but only laughter and cooperation with me all the time.

These are pix of my little Miss Whiny, who got so sleepy and tired after whining and crying for an hour... that she fell asleep on the floor, with half her head on the mattress lol!

Water Fountain For Our Home

Last week, daddy bought a mini water fountain to be placed at the balcony of our condo. The next day, he brought home a big jar of marbles (the marbles that he collected when he was a little boy) and enlisted the help of Alycia and Sherilyn to put them into the water fountain. Boy, my 2 brats were tickled pink and had so much fun throwing the marbles in, dipping their hands into the water and getting themselves all wet.






See how happy they were putting marbles into the fountain.

Homemade Wholemeal High Fibre Pancakes

I made some wholemeal high fibre, high protein pancakes for the gals last week. Check out my other blog to find out what other ingredients I used to make the pancakes.

Daddy's Written Agreement To Bring Alycia Swimming... Part II

That's the picture of the hand written agreement - written by Alycia and signed by daddy. It was daddy's idea to sign on the agreement as Alycia has been badgering him to bring her swimming ever since we moved to our new condo on Friday last week.


Daddy's signature - circled.


Doesn't Alycia look like she's one of those complainants at Michael Chong's office? LOL!

My Streamyx Is Finally Up Again....

.... after 11 long and agonizing days! That's how inefficient our TM Net is, as expected and this is not the first time I suffer as a result of their inefficiency. The last time hubby changed owner in our fixed phone line, my streamyx connection was down for 8 days... and that also I had to call them once every 2-3 hours, every day for 8 days to breathe down their lazy necks. Had it not been me being a pain in their lazy necks, I think they will take forever to get the Streamyx up again.

Anyway, the feeling I had when I got back my Streamyx was one of ecstatic and relief. It felt as if I hadn't eaten for 11 days and could finally eat. It just felt great to be able to refresh my screen, save a document, upload pix, etc. without getting an error message or having to wait for 15 minutes or more to get to a website. However, I could hardly find the time to blog during the day as I still have some unpacking to do. Baby C is also still purging and I have to wash her bum like 10 times a day.... after each poopie business and after she had wet her diapers coz her diaper area is so sore and it's best that I wash it clean to prevent the area from getting sore further and to prevent nappy rash. The only time I can blog is at night, when my 3 monkeys are all fast asleep. Ahh.... what bliss to be able to blog in peace!

Stroller Mishap

That's how Baby C and I looked after the stroller accident yesterday.


Baby C smiling after she woke up from her nap, after the fall. This smile gave me a consolation that she's A-ok.

What's It With The Tissue Box.... And The Tissue Papers?

My 2 older gals loved playing and chewing on tissue box and tissue papers when they were babies and now, it's Baby C's turn. New colorful toys they like not but dull looking tissue boxes and packet tissues fascinate them to bits. Why eh I wonder?

BTW, Baby C and I were spared from serious injuries during an accident today. Nevertheless, we were still hurt. Check out my other blog to find out what happened.

Baby C Turned 7 Months Old

Baby C turned 7 months old on 9 November 2008. She started to cruise 1.5 weeks ago and now likes to grab everything not meant for her.... and then put them into her mouth.

In this picture, she was trying to fish out a diaper from the shopping bag that I hung on her crib. I can no longer hang anything on her crib now for this ever curious baby will surely grab them and put them into her mouth.

Daddy's Written Agreement To Bring His Princesses Swimming... Part I

That was taken on the day we moved into our new condo. Our unit faces the swimming pool and the gals' room has a very good view of the pool... and the gals absolutely adore their room. They think it's a hotel and they spend almost the whole day in their room and at the kitchen looking down at the pool. They have been bugging daddy to bring them swimming but it's just not possible as we were all (and still are) extremely busy with the move and unpacking.

When daddy was unpacking the gals' clothes and arranging them into their new closet, Sherilyn quickly fished out one of her old bikinis and insisted to put her bra (that's what she calls it lol!) on.... then ran round the house pretending to snap pictures!

Last night, daddy finally promised to bring Alycia and Sher swimming today. He even signed on an agreement hand-written by Alycia that he will bring her swimming today. As I am typing this, daddy has now brought them swimming. Shall post picture of the agreement soon!

Still Moving, Unpacking And Arranging....

Here are some pix on our house shifting taken at our old home. There is still about 30% of our things that are still at the old home, to be moved to the new home. As of now, my closet is already 80% full and I have no idea how I am going to stuff my remaining clothes and paraphernalia into it. I guess I will no choice but to give away many of my clothes to friends... albeit with a heavy heart... sob sob sob...

I Am Back

After spending 2 agitating hours in front of my PC trying to connect to my blogs and to certain websites, I finally managed to get some work done. I just hate this 3G wireless internet. Connection is farking unstable and my pages get all distorted. I have to keep disconnecting and reconnecting the line. I can't wait for my Streamyx to be up again.

Anyway, it's way past 12 midnight now. I have a lot to update in my blogs but I better sleep early coz tomorrow is another long day... of unpacking, packing and carrying my little whiny and fussy baby. There have been many people in and out of our new condo lately and she hates strangers. Each time Baby C sees strangers in our condo, she will bawl unless she's being carried by me and no one else! So can you imagine how tough my days have been, having to carry her and she has not been napping a lot too coz her 2 boisterous older sisters have been laughing, screaming and getting all excited over the new condo and their new pretty bedroom.... and they kept jolting her up from her nap... which drives me really bonkers.

BTW, there are supposed to be pix with this post but after waiting more than 15 minutes for the 2 pix to be uploaded and after I had clicked on 'Done', the pix didn't appear in this post! I am giving up and going to bed now.

The Nutritious Fig

Did you know that figs can be part of almost any special diet, be it low fat, low sodium, high fiber, weight loss, diabetic or even the Mediterranean? Figs are fat-free, sodium-free and they are cholesterol-free too. Figs are high in fiber (good to combat constipation!) and have more dietary fiber per serving than any other common dried or fresh fruit. Figs also have very high mineral content. If only I had enough place in my house and if only the climate in our country permits, I would want to plant a couple of Fig trees and enjoy the fruits!

Insurance Plan For Your Baby

Hubby and I are considered lucky that the insurers accepted our application for medical insurance for Baby C several months ago, though she was hospitalized once for urinary tract infection when she was two months old. When she fell and knocked her head on the floor recently, I called up my insurance agent to enquire if CT scan is claimable from the insurance and to my delight, I was told that it is claimable. Thank God Baby C was ok after the fall and did not require a CT scan after all, though she did vomit once. If you have a baby, it’s really a good idea to purchase a medical and education insurance plan for him/her. If you haven’t gotten one yet, you may want to get some insurance quotes as soon as possible. You will surely not regret it.

Blog Break...

Hubby gave me a shock when he told me a moment ago that TM will cancel my Streamyx connection today to facilitate the transfer of line to our new condo. He told me yesterday that he will only do the transfer later this week but now it's today! Luckily I don't have any outstanding offers to dish out for advertisers. Haiz..... I will definitely have withdrawal syndromes without the computer!

I don't know how long it will take for the Streamyx to be up again at my new place. I hope it's not going to be more than a week like what happened recently.... knowing how inefficient TM is.

BTW, my mil learnt how to make these dainty yummylicious ang koo the other day. Check out my health blog to read on.






Oh yes, please DO MISS my blog k? *wink*

My Little Vain Pot

That's Sherilyn my little vain pot wearing Baby C's hairbands. Last night, she fished out the hairbands from the hair accessories box and began putting them on... one by one... then ran to the mirror and did some model poses and talked to herself! She's getting vainer and vainer by the day... chan hai oi leng (really wants to be pretty)!

Baby C's hairband (meant for babies and not toddlers) was obviously too small for Sher's head.

Treating Baby C Like A Doll

Sometimes Alycia and Sherilyn would treat Baby C like a doll. They would hug her tightly, kiss Baby C's face till it's all sloppy with their saliva... yucks!... doll her up and they (especially Alycia) would always insist on carrying Baby C. The other day whilst playing, Alycia insisted on putting her hat on Baby C. I stopped her as the hat was obviously too big for baby's head and was covering her face and eyes. I told Alycia that baby will not be able to see with her eyes covered by the hat and will hit her head on the cold hard floor but she still insisted on putting the hat on baby for she wanted to have a good laugh!


Whilst the 2 cheh chehs had a good laugh at Baby C wearing the enormous hat, Baby C didn't quite like the idea of being monkeyed around and fussed, almost on the verge of crying....

Baby C on the verge of crying here...

BTW, notice Sherilyn wearing the colorful bangles on her hand? Daddy bought them at the Baby Loft shop 2 weeks ago and both the gals (esp Sherilyn) have been wearing them everyday... the whole day - to school, to sleep, to eat! See how vain they are!

Baby C had her first major fall yesterday. Read about it in my health blog.

Bento Tools

A new 100 Yen shop has just opened near where I stay. So I popped by the shop the other day and got these :

a double-decker lunch box



a pack of 3 little dainty lunch box, to be placed in larger lunch boxes. I prefer these to silicon cups or bento cups as they come with a cover, thus the food will not spill. Everything costs just RM4.90 and there were heaps of nice lunch boxes and pretty chopsticks! However, there aren't other bento stuff that I am looking for like silicon cups, lunch box straps, food picks, baran, sausage weiner, etc.



And these are from my sil. She bought these for me from Singapore - a silicon fried egg/pancake mould in the shape of a bird, cookie cutters and a star-shaped and heart-shaped egg mould.
