Distinctive Love...

Suddenly...

2009-10-11T01:27:00.002+08:00

...I felt like blogging, maybe because I am not sleepy even though it is 1.30am.
...I am feeling feverish, had sore throat 2 days ago. Is that a sign?
...I am out of words and do not know what else to type.

Bye!

P/s: I must make time to update my blog regularly. It looks so old and dusty. My blog site has been vacant for quite sometime, getting haunted already...I guess.

Home....

2009-04-22T14:19:00.006+08:00

is where I want to be now....

Humid weather + full tummy + 16 degree celsius airconditioned room =
SLEEPY!!
simple equation!
Even babies knew that!

I'm so SLEEPY...I can't help it!!
I've been yawning every 2-3 minutes and my eyes are all watery now!!

I have no idea what I have blurt out to the children...I'm totally blank and all I can think of is...my wonderful springy mattress with the ever so soft quilt and comfy pillows.
Damn! Now I feel like going home!!

I was helping one of the children on her writing. She can't quite hold the pencil well yet. So being a good teacher, I asked her to come over to my table and assist her on that.
As I was writing, she was talking about her room. Great! Didn't she notice that her teacher is bloody sleepy!
What a question..."Teacher, do you know where is my room?"
Me: "No, I only know my room."

I helped her to write...
(they're learning to write two-letter words)

go... (YAWN!!)
go... (YAWN!! go on, go on)
do... (YAWN!! I can't help it..my eyes too heavy..there!)
ho... (what the hell?? what have I written??)

I jolted awake...what have I written?? And this book is going out today as homework!! Great! I nearly written the word 'home' cause I have been thinking of it all the while. I looked at it and felt relief as I did not complete the whole word 'home'.

It's ok...I'll just cancel it and write the correct word..at the side.

me... (that's the correct word)

Oh! Oh shit!!

Without realising I've written 'home'.

My Confessions...

2009-03-27T13:52:00.002+08:00

I've been dying to tell you this...
I can't help it...

Something normal...nothing special...

I've watched the 'Confession of a Shopaholic' for already 3 times!!
and..I'm never bored of it!
I love the movie so much but the book is alot better..take it from me.

The movie was very entertaining and funny.
Should catch it!

Go ahead...book your tix now..
*who needs popcorn when you'll be laughing out loud most of the time*

Burp!!

2009-02-23T13:39:00.002+08:00

Wow! I had an enormous scrumptious dinner yesterday.
Dearest mummy cooked seafood dishes and I tell you they are so YUMMY!!
Will upload the pics when I have the time.
Now cannot because it is my working time so I certainly do not want to be sitting infornt of the computer for hours just to upload the pics. Later ok.

Confession of the Shopaholic is out on 26 March!!
Oh my God!!
Did I tell ya I'm a big fan of Sophie Kinsella?
Her books rocks big time!!!
And now the story is coming to life..can't wait!

Got to go back to the kids.

They are left unattended..shhhhhhhh! BYE!

2008-12-30T17:52:00.005+08:00

Darn...I'm going back to work soon!!
School holidays will soon be over, which means HELLO WORK AND CHILDREN!

Hey, I haven't enjoyed enough..why must time go so fast??

Do not ask me about my 2009 resolutions...because it will be the same as last year's, the year before last year, the year before the before of last year...on and on...
I hadn't got the chance to achieve it or was it I did not try to achieve it?
Either one, I'm still holding strong to the goal and it will remainthe same for 2009.

The *every year* Resolution...
1) get back to my pre-pregnancy shape..or better still before I was married.
2) don't be late for anything in the world..yes, ANYTHING and EVERYTHING!
3) try to cut down on buying unnecessarily...econimic downturn remember?
4) achieve these before the next year comes..that is 2010.

Oh yah, I did mention that I have to attend alot of wedding invitation on my previous entry..I would like to congrats these people and hope that their marriage last till eternity..Insya'allah.

Presenting...

Couple #1

My sis-in-law's, Nur with Mahfuz, wedding...22nd Nov 2008 and reception on 30th Nov.

Couple #2

My husband's uncle with Fatimah Mohsin...7th Dec 2008.

Couple #3

My cousin, Irnaini with Azan...13th Dec 2008.

In fact, we had lots more wedding invitations than this..but we could only make it to some of them beacause of other commitment.

To all the newly-wed couples...Congrats, may your marriage last forever and ever and have lots of children!!

Now, what's my 2009 resolution again?? Ohhh ok...how could I forget them!!

Gone Crazy

2008-12-16T18:23:00.002+08:00

This school holiday...is a madness!!

I've gone crazy!! My brains all messed up!!

So busy..busy...busy and yup busy.
Even bees are as not busy as I am.

Holidays burn..don't even bother to mention the weekends.
All packed with wedding invitations, birthday parties, kenduris....

I have yet to finish my reports, reflections, classroom deco...!!

Aaarrghhhh!!

And this youtube, I tell you, I get stucked and so addicted to it!!
I've been watching America's Next Top Model Cycle 10, the whole episode,..and I already know who's the winner!!

So ok...I'll talk again some other time.
Bye!!

Freaky Friday...

2008-10-31T19:23:00.002+08:00

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!

I really enjoyed my halloween party today!
I totally want to make this party happened...well, you know...I LOVE DRESSING UP!
I didn't really bother about people saying that dressing up like a ghost is 'suey' (kind of like..misfortune, i guess so)
yes, me and my 2 best colleagues did dress up just for the fun of it *heck care*.

At first, we thought of dressing like a Vampire..but Vampires aren't glamorous enough.
Then, we came out of an idea to dress like Brides Corpse but unfortunately we do not have any wedding gown. *and even if I do, I don't think I can fit in it anymore*

Finally we decided to be witches because we can choose to be the enchanting one or the ugly or we can even even combine both and still look like a witch. Great!

So witches it is....

hahahaha!
We are the Best Dressed Teachers since the rest can't be bothered to even do something to themselves....

spot that?

We are always 'on' for this kind of thingy..be it festivals or celebrations..just name it.

The make up..
I decided to go all black...

The nails...
I had them in black too, the toes are real but the fingers are fake ones.
I can't afford to be having long nails because everytime I keep them long, I'll tend to accidentally scratch on someone. And in this case, my kids are the victims so long nails are a NO NO for me!

The costume...
I made the scruffy dress all by myself..hand sewn!

The hair...
I love this hair but unfortunately it belongs to one of the student.

I had to make do with what I have...crepe papers it is...

but I think it rocks too *and my creativeness*.

When we opened the door to release the kids, everyone was so stunned.
They took pictures of us, those without cameras, took out their handphones.
I felt like a diva, seriously, an ugly diva...hahaha!
Parents whom I don't even know, requested to take pictures with their kids..don't even mention about the kids..i don't even know them too!!
The maids are all armed with their handphones and snapping photos of us too..
There was a huge crowd infront of my classroom like there was an artist from Hollywood just touch ground here. They were all with cameras and handphones.
I swear all these are the truth...I felt popular today!!

And everytime they took pictures of me, I will surely pose showing off my nails *I Love Them*..but then, I realise, that I pose like a rock star instead of a witch!!

When I look back at the photos that I snapped, most of the pictures were me with my nails...hahahaha!

Apology if they are too disturbing! *geli kan*

and last but not least...can you handle this??

a dracula and a witch...hahaha!!!

Happy Halloween anyway!!

Trick or Treat??

Ouch!!

2008-10-05T22:59:00.001+08:00

Ouch...really ouch!!

Due to lateness and I want things to be done fast, I accidentally poke my left eye with....my own long fingernails!!
Damn stupid!

And with that, the outer lining of my eye peeled off and the stinging *only God can explain*.
I can hardly open my eyes.
It is swollen, teary and red and the vision is so blurry.

Went to the doctor and he gave me MC till tomorrow..cheh!!
I called up my principal to inform her about this and she sounded like 'can't be bothered...you are lying right...go Hari Raya visiting then lazy to report for work lah and give such excuses somemore.'

Ohh gosh!! The real fact is, I am really injured..how to go to work when my eyes is so badly swollen, you tell me?
And..I did not even go visiting today.

Wasted rite??

Anyway, SELAMAT HARI RAYA!!
MAAF ZAHIR & BATIN.
*will upload my raya photos soon*

Multiple Updates...Since I have no time...

2008-09-01T10:47:00.002+08:00

Saturday, 30th August 2008

I had a Teacher's Day hi-tea @ Mandai Orchird Garden.
It was a slow and dull event...oops sorry!
why should I lie when it is the truth

The theme was Hats-On! and everyone had to put on a hat, if not they'll be subjected to a penalty jig.

I was cracking my heads to what I should wear...I totally love dressing up, I'm always 'on' for this kind of thingy. Asked my friends and some told me that they'll be dressed like a witch, cowboy, Charlie Chaplin....

At first, I thought of making a fool of myself by dressing like a 'paddy field lady', wear baju opah, kain batik and straw hats with a sireh sentel in my mouth. But I couldn't get the baju opah and time doesn't permits me to go Geylang to get it. So change of plan...cracked my head deeper and finally I dressed like a pirate..Captain Jack Sparrow! Bought the pirate hat and white shirt..
*photos will be uploaded at my Multiply ok*

I get the 6th prize for Lucky Draw and a gift for solving a riddle that goes like this...
What is, you go on Red and you stops at Green?
hahahaha...you don't know right???

But overall, I didn't enjoy that much...

Sunday, 31st August 2008

Early in the morning, we head to Geylang to stock up on our 'fuel' for the fasting month. I did get my gong gong (do I get the spelling right?) and few other seafoods.

Late in the afternoon, we headed to West Coast Park for a famly day event. We enjoyed ourselves there...so much things to do and play...
*yet again, photos will be up in my Multiply*

Monday, 1st September 2008

I've got few wishes I want to say out here...

To all teachers...HAPPY TEACHER'S DAY!!
To all Muslims...SELAMAT MENYAMBUT RAMADHAN AL-MUBARAK.
To some...ENJOY YOUR 1 WEEK HOLIDAY!!

Hooray...with no work to think about, nothing could be consumed and I have 1 week to be like this...I think I better start spring cleaning my house!!
Better start preparing for Hari Raya!! Can't wait for it....!!!!

Dirt, dusts and grimes...here I come!!!

Teacher's Day Celebration

2008-08-29T20:56:00.003+08:00

Today is the last day of Term 3!
Woo hoo!!
That means, come next week is a school holiday!!!

I received lots of gifts, cards and chocolates!!!!

After all that workloads *and I certainly do not want to think of it now*...

and the rage you felt with the little kids when they are up to test your limits...it is so unbearable, I tell you!

But come this special day, where all teachers look forward to this day, those little kids come up to you and hand you a gift, instead of the normal junks of worksheets, your heart will suddenly melt and then you began to think, "Hey, they are not so bad afterall." hahahaha

from my wonderful children...

But the best teacher's day gift that I received is this....

Can you believe it?? *tak bedek!*

It's a Sony Cyber-shot W170 Digital Camera!!!! and it is in my favourite colour too!! I Love it so much!! This is from my very big kid aka my husband!!
hahahaha...there's always somthing up his sleeves..he never fails to surprise me!

To all teacher's out there..Happy Teacher's Day!!
and yes....

we are simply the best!

Our Preciuos Gift

2008-08-19T16:30:00.003+08:00

Xaviera just turned 3 on the 28th of July.
She did received lots of presents from wonderful people at her birthday bash recently.
And this is what I bought for her 3rd year birthday present...

Cute kan...hahahaha..

The reason:
She is my precious gift from ALLAH and I want to teach her, at early age, to be thankful to HIM for bringing her to this world and to a wonderful family.

Hehehe...wonderful family...Yes, we are!! hehehe

And yes, I have just open up an account at Multiply.com. Here's the addy...
http://hexxotic.multiply.com

You can see more pictures, videos and of course read about us (if you are not bored!).
The site is still under construction...so don't expect to see lots of things yet.

It is still blank like my brains!
Because anything that multiplies by '0' is still '0'..
Get it??
Ahhh...never mind!

Just put it as it is still nothing much to see in my Multiply...
Good Day!!

Many thanks to David Tutera and his team..hahaha love the Party Planner show at Discovery Travel and Living. (Yenny, if you happened to read this..I know you are laughing!! Stop it ok)
- having to make so much phone calls..you name it..enquiries, booking, scheduling, touch base with so much things and RSVPs.

Sleeping Beauty

2008-06-28T18:38:00.002+08:00

See how peaceful, my little angel is sleeping...

But...

in full view...

it doesn't look peaceful at all!

How can she fall asleep in this manner?
A slight change in position, there, she'll go tumbling down.

Why did she choose to sleep on the table instead of her comfy bed??
I wonder...

Role Model

2008-06-26T19:50:00.004+08:00

My tot is grasping everything that she sees.
She even imitates the adults!
I have to be watchful of my actions in front of her.
I certainly do not want her to grasp the wrong things.

She's picking up Indonesian language....
she's imitating the way I coax the brother when he cries ( she will go like, "Ah la la la, sayang dia, don't cry ok.")....
she will babble like aunty whenever the house is in a mess - "Eeee, serak nye!"....
when we go shopping, she wants to carry the shopping basket...
and....she even nags at her Bibik.

That day, she wanted to "poo" and was carrying a magazine all the way to the toilet.
When I asked her why..she said..
"Ni macam ibu bawak. Kakak nak baca lah."

Sorry for that...I find it cute so I can't resist snapping a shot.
See...you can even read in the toilet.

And today...

She told me that she needs to "poo".
She took out her own pants and shouted for help to sit her on the toilet bowl.
I carried her and walk off.
She doesn't like it if anyone watch her while she's doing her "business". Well, who does??.

I didn't notice that she brought something along...
When I checked on her...I was EXTREMELY shocked lah!!

She was busy "painting" her eyes!!

Never did I noticed that she was carrying my eye shimmer in to the toilet!
Slowly, I took out my handphone and snap this photo..and she was all 'paisey' about it!

It wasn't me that she imitates.
Where has she got it from??
I swear, or did I....????

Still on Holiday Mood

2008-06-20T07:33:00.004+08:00

I've started work!!
No...I am not going to say 'YEAH!!' or even cheer.

Lucky for me, it's the school holiday.
This week I need to go back to school, to finish up things that needed my fullest attention.
The neverending lesson plans..teaching aids..materials..
argghhhhh!!!

The good part, I can work as little as 1 hour...
prepare..prepare...prepare...print out...do some touch ups...go home!
This time, I'm going to shout Hooray!
Which means, I can spend more time with the kids!!

But....
come next week, holiday mood is OVER!!
Should I scream or shout or even bang my head to the wall??

Enough babbling already.
Need to get ready for work.

The earlier I go, the earlier I can go home.
Huh...so much for that!!
still got so much things to do lah dey! Today's last day!

Birthday Bash Part 2

2008-06-12T23:08:00.001+08:00

1 Down, More to Go!

I have just finish the invitation card for my chilren's birthday party.
Phew...!

So I've spilled the bean on the theme of the party, at one of the previous entry.
And today I am going to spill some more beans to let you see how my invitation cards look like.

Taaa daaaa.....

There are 2 invitation cards.
The Chicky cards is for the kids and the 'self-made' Barney cards is for the whole family.
So the kids have to RSVP, I mean the parents will have to do it for them (I don't think the kids even know what is R S V P), so that Chicky will know how many to expect.

Ooops! I've spilled too much beans already.
Ok lah...Chicky will be the party entertainer.
Sadly, we've sourced out everywhere but we could not get Barney as the party entertainer.
Instead of a Dino, we have a Chicken for the party.

I've prepared the Guest List and all I have to do is to write down their name on the banner that Barney is holding on to, with purple pen of course.

So if you see this card in your mailbox, we hope to see you then.
It's not always you get to see a big chicken on the run.

sob..sob...sob...

2008-06-11T23:58:00.002+08:00

After a long wait, our new maid has finally arrive!

I was on a NO PAY LEAVE for the past 1 and a half month!!
The previous maid, we cannot stand her nonsense and stubbornness, so we terminate her contract immediately. Futhermore, she had kept on telling us that she wanted to go back Indonesia.

We are not evil and we are not that fussy kind.
As long as my house looks pleasing to the eyes and the basic needs of my kids are met...I'm fine with that.
But this maid is a real pain in the a**.

But...Thanks to her, I get to spend the time with my two kids.
I really enjoy looking after them.
I get to play, educate and watch Barney together, 24/7!

I enjoyed every single second with them.
There's always something to laugh about together.
I'm going to miss this moment.
Oh gosh, I'm going to cry..

and...I really am going to cry because I'll be starting work next week!!
oohhhh NO!!!!!!!!
Will I ever get the chance to experience this wonderful moment again??

Ok, I talk too much.
Need to get much rest for tomorrow, will need to train the new maid.

Let's hope this maid will finish the contract..
because I changed maid like changing underwear.
hahaha...banyak nyer tak fussy

Barney Let's Imagine Live!

2008-06-10T23:24:00.004+08:00

We had FUN!

Viera enjoyed the entire show.
Believe it or not, I enjoyed it too!
I felt young, very very young, again.

Indeed, it was lively..it was entertaining and the best part of all..
watching Viera dancing and jumping like a monkey.

So..before we went in...

we had a visit to the toilet.
Clear the bladder first, just in case nature calls in the mid of the show. Wasted kan.

Next...

Look out for any bargains or good items at the stall just outside the teater hall.
FYI, it's all Barney stuffs. What else!

Then...

the show began...

From where we were seated, I feel as though I can touch Barney.
2nd row mah, what you think.
The first time when Viera saw Barney popped in front of her eyes, her expression was..hmmmmm...well, I'm not too sure how exactly she felt.
She was like a little bit confused, lost for words, "How come Barney is so HUGE?", "Am I imagining things?"..that sort of expression.
I was expecting more like she's shocked, surprised, excited...but NO!

Much later after that, then she was all loosen up and began to move about.

(Wah that uncle behind there is enjoying the show nampak. What so funny eh??)
Could be that her system had a minor crash so it took her a while to input data and register that she's actually seeing the real Barney and not in TV.
I wonder...

Take 5! Barney needs a rest too...

Lastly...

Of all the show, the thing that she really enjoyed was...

the last part where the confettis burst in the air.
She was busy picking up the confettis and throwing it to herself, that she don't even bother about Barney singing the last bit of the 'I Love You' song, which is her favourite.

At the end of the show, when Barney waved Goodbye, she waved back at him...

awww...so sweet!

It was a nice show afterall.
It's definately worth every cent!

The Donut Man??

2008-06-05T10:34:00.002+08:00

It's not a plane...It's not a bird...
and it's obviously not Superman.

Allow me to introduce you to our new superhero...
The Donut Man!

He is strong as steel.
He cannot climb walls but he can climb ladders...stairs.
He can't fly...well he tried to fly but ahhh never mind.
He has 2 side kicks, more than Batman does.

And why is he called the Donut Man?

Donut is not his favourite food. He was named after a donut because of his superhero suit.

Doesn't his body resembles a donut?
The normal one it is, not with chocolate sauce or orea bits or cinnamon powder...
His body has no hole like a donut does because this one is with fillings in it.
ooohhh, it makes me drool thinking of them donuts.

His body suit is the work of his 2 side kicks.
They'll sprinkle ~~sugar~~ talcum powder all over his body.

And they not only sprinkle, they'll rub and scratch his body.
THAT..he enjoys it very much.

I really have to thank the 2 helpful side kicks....

the Sprinkler Girl...

and...

the Grinning Boy...
(See..even this boy has powder on his face. He enjoys it too.)

for making the scratching work lighter for me.

The Do's and Don'ts

2008-05-29T23:33:00.004+08:00

You know...

there are many different ways and styles to watch Barney..
and at the same time learn from it.

Do:

Watch it the norm way. Sit comfortably on a couch and clutch your favourite pillow.

Don't:

Do not lie down on the coffee table.
Either you will fall or worst still, break the table.

If you feel somehow uneasy and weary while Barney is still dancing on the tv...

Do:

You can lie down on the couch with the pillow.

Don't:

Do not go near the television and tries to touch the purple dino.
You won't get to feel him, instead you'll get myopia.

Barney has lots of great songs.
If you love dancing to his songs...

Do:

Get up and dance along...but, again, do not go too near to the television.

Don't:

Instead of dancing, you play with the table.

It's practically not advisable or you'll end up making this kind of look.

Ooohh...quite disturbing though.

Hot Day

2008-05-22T23:55:00.003+08:00

Hot....hot...hot....

Oh Gosh!

The weather is so irritably hot!
I had just finished a COLD bath..
The heater will be on a long leave as long as the weather stays like this.

Please remind me to buy a new bath lily 'cause the one I have now doesn't look like one already.
I scrubded my body like scrubbing the floor.
I believe the bath lily helps to scrape off the oiliness.
Hopefully, the more I scrub, the fairer I'll get..

Or maybe, I should try what the kids did that day.
Dip myself in the icy cold water!

Iced cold Pool

2008-05-20T15:07:00.004+08:00

Have you ever wish that you can dip yourself in a pool full of ice cold water in this hot and humid weather?

Dream no further, now you can.
Follow these simple steps.

Step 1:

In order to safeguard yourself, find a partner that you can easily blame on, just in case something happen.

Step 2:

When nobody is looking or when mummy is busy cleaning the house, sneak into the kitchen and slowly open the refrigerator door.

Step 3:

Find a jug that's filled with iced water, lift it up and dropped it to the floor.
In no time, the floor will be flooded with the icy cold water.

Step 4:

You can either pretend like you are swimming or...

imagine that you are sitting on the side of the pool and paddle your legs in the water.

Step 5:

You can even splash the water to your partner..

Step 6:

And, when you think the water is drying up..you can head to the toilet.

There's always lots of water there.

Step 7:

When your partner tries to stop you...

ask her to join along...

Step 8:

At any point of time Mummy finds out about this...

charge...run...and hide.

Step 9:

When the jug is broken...

pretend to be remorseful...

Step 10:

If you are kids like us, repeat the whole step again, the next day.

****************************

I was cleaning up the kitchen, when they make this mess!
Here I'm cleaning, there they're making a mess.
I was MAD at first, but seeing their reaction, it was just too cute to fuss about.

Kids...they are meant to be mischief!!

Super-Dee-Duper Party

2008-05-14T10:07:00.001+08:00

Headache...headache...headache...

2 and a half months to go...
Aaaarggghhh....lagi headache!

I am planning to throw a birthday party for my kids this coming July.
Luckily, they both share the same birthday month.
Yah, good planning, I must say.

I have decided on the theme.
At first, I thought of doing it my way but Xaviera is smart enough to choose what she wants.
It's her party anyway.

What's the theme, you think?

Eat..Barney..

Sleep...Barney

Ride...Barney

In the car...Barney

So it's like, where ever we go, Barney tags along too.

I've booked, ordered, reserved quite a number of things already.
Now, I'm in the process of finishing up the invitation cards.

Self-made card.

I love to self-make anything because it gives me the sense of satisfaction if it turns out beautiful, if not..then forget about it, just throw it away lah.
Next, find other alternatives.
Simple.

Ohh yah..and the party entertainers...

Barney and Baby Bop...

and not forgetting...

BJ of course.

I Love You Mak!!

2008-05-12T18:35:00.003+08:00

May 11:

Happy Mother's Day to all mothers...
especially to my dearest Mommy...
I Love You Mak!

We had a buffet lunch at Sakura @ Orchard Shopping Centre..
all-mothers-get-together..including the aunties.
Had to bring Xaviera along..well who's going to pay for my lunch?
Hahaha...

What a fat arm I have.
Me, Xaviera and mom.

The aunties...

I thought on Mother's Day, mothers are suppose to get that special attention...but Viera steal the limelight anyway.

May 12:

HAPPY BIRTHDAY MAK!!

When are you free?
I want to treat you to the spa.

I Love You So Much, very much, alot, aplenty, deeply, truly, greatly....

Even words can't describe how much I love you...

The 'Cambera' Spy

2008-05-09T22:43:00.002+08:00

What is that she's holding on to?

Yes..yes...!!
It is the Fisher Price Kid Tough Digital Camera!

A gift from the Daddy! How sweet!!
We both know that she loves to take pictures and at the same time we can use her as our 'spy' during the day when we are out to work...hahaha...smart huh!

The Bibik thinks that this is a toy camera.
Even after assuring her that it is real, she's still not convinced.
Very the Kampong-ish!
Up to her lah...good lah if she don't know.

The first time, the Daddy hands her the camera..she was so excited..
"Wah! Cambera!
It's not typo error, she did say "Cambera".
So, before she goes around boasting the camera and naming it 'cambera', I better do something to that pronunciation.

The quality of the picture...
I should say it's not bad for a "toy" camera.

1st pic..and the proud owner of this 'cambera'.

Below, are all the shots that she took.

not bad...

still not so bad...

mmm...bad smell?

Yes, that's your target, dear...
Catch her before she runs away...

MISSION ACCOMPLISHED

Xaviera is now officially our spy.

Bare Naked Truth

2008-05-08T08:26:00.003+08:00

From just opening and clasping his fingers...
Xayd has learnt to clap!
And today, the minute he hears Barney sings,
he loves Barney too..ohh that purple dino
he'll clap his hands to the ~~croaking~~ music.

Don't mind that bareness..
HOT DAY + HOT BODY + DROOLS = you do the maths lah..

Let's Sing Together...

If you're HAPPY and you know it...

clap your hands...

If you've tummy just like Barney...

Thump at it...

If you know you're not a Dino...

Pound your chest just like a King-Kong..
(????)

If you're HAPPY and you know it...

clap your hands!

So, if he's unhappy for the day...

Let him sit and watch Barney...

And he'll show you his crazy little acts...
besides that body.

My Point of View

2008-05-01T13:11:00.006+08:00

Eversince Mummy taught me how to operate the camera, I fell in love with it instantly.
I want to be attached to it but unfortunately that's not mine.
How I wish I can owe that Fisher Price Kid Tough Digital Camera.

Don't tell them, I am still trying to improve on getting those angles right.
Mummy, I am sorry if I had cause that stiff neck last night when you kept tilting your head just to make out the pictures I've captured.

I did take your camera while you and daddy were out to work.
I can't stand the boredom in the house so your camera is my friend for that day.

I took pictures of your old magazines, wardrobe and even the playroom.

You see.. My clumsy little fingers always gets in the way.
It creeps and always blocking, if not the lense than it must be the flashlight.
Aarrgghhh...it's frustrating at times.

But wait!!

At last, I manage to capture pictures without those fingers.
See????

I wonder why Mummy was very angry to see these pictures...

It's only Bibik and Adik.

Mummy did say something about the newspaper on Bibik's lap.
I wonder what's wrong with that...

and she fume like mad when she saw this picure...
She was babbling away, which sounded like "Bibik leave Xayd to play alone while she read newspaper? How dare! She is suppose to scaffold interaction and watch guard him!"

I kind of forgotten the rest of it...

Anyway, I got off scot free without being scolded for using the camera.
Surprisingly, they were thankful.
Daddy promised to buy mummy a new and better camera and thereafter the old camera will be mine!! Yeahhh!

And yes, finally it's a holiday today!!
I can spend my time with mummy...

and poor Bibik, she has to work non-stop today..
daddy's home...mummy's home...

Ohh well, she had her fun and "holiday" while they were out...
no supervision...no reprimanding...

And she looked unhappy today...
maybe she had missed her naptime.

Love,
Xaviera

STEPping stone

2008-04-26T13:19:00.002+08:00

I am all excited, overjoyed, happy and everything nice...

How can I not be happy when I found out that...

My son can already stand alone and make his first step.
It is not an official walking but more or less like beginning to walk..
He's only 9 months ok.

It is still wobbly...
Those little legs are still in a wide stance...
The expression is a mixture of...

"Look! I can stand on my own."
+
"Woohh, wooh..I'm gonna fall sooner or later! Help!!!"
+
"Relax! Maintain..."

But he still did a good job by trying to balance himself...
Proud of you, my little rascal ...

You see?
He did make his first step, but eventually after that he loses balance and fall butt first.

How can I not be proud and all crazy and excited (cheering at the top of my voice and clapping my hands) to see this..
you tell me...

And today, his upper gums has make way for his 1st upper tooth (front, left side).
This is his 3rd tooth, and more will be racing to erupt from that pink gums.

Which means..the more teeth mark on my....
Hint: I breastfeed him. You should know where.
The more the ~~merrier~~ painful.

I already had 4 teethmarks, not yet heel 'cause everyday he will latch on to it..
One word:

OUCH!!!!

Still going STRONG....

2008-04-24T20:12:00.005+08:00

Exactly 4 years ago....

I got hitched..to the same man I live and do everything together with today.

To the very special man that I truly and utterly in love with....

Hairudin...I Love you so much!

and exactly 4 years ago, at this point of time, we were like supermodels on the dias..hahaha..I totally enjoyed it!

After the solemnization

The supermodel for the day and next...
Ingat tak kain terbalik..hahaha..

Time flies so fast...and I only realised that I'd known you for 8 long years..
but it felt like i've just met yesterday.

Each day with you is so special and wonderful...
you brighten my day with your specialty breakfast...
you always full of jokes and craps that never fail to make me laugh until my stomach aches...
you never fail to kiss me before you leave the house, your first step back in the house and before sleep...

I Love You Truly, Madly, Deeply...

-----------------------------

Ah..and yes...finally...

Today is my 1st day of menses..
(alah..no big deal lah eh..)

My son is already 9 months 9days and only today my menses starts.

Thanks to breastfeeding plus pregnancy, I have not had menses for like 1 and a half years..

If I had breastfed my son like before I think my menses won't come today.
I had stop pumping my milk almost a month already and my Avent ISIS IQ Uno had a long rest eversince.
Reason: Almost a month ago, I'd started my new job and it is very near to my house..like 5 mins walk. So during lunch break, I will always go home to feed him directly.

So, I think he could not empty the milk properly, the more reason my menses will come. At the same timing, when I used to pump out milk, I always get a good total of 15oz for both sides. This time round, morning time he can't empty properly, the milk brought forward to mid-day, also cannot finish, brought forward again...and again...
I used to pump regularly for my previous job as I spend almost half of the day outside.

So now is a wake up call for me that my body has started to produce less milk and start emptying it properly...

End of vacation for breastpump, take it out again...Checked
Start Pumping tomorrow...Will 'checked' tomorrow

Why This??

2008-04-23T21:33:00.002+08:00

This is interesting.

This...you've got to see.

My last entry was about Viera being afraid of heights
Today's entry is the opposite...

What Xayd Likes?

At this stage, 9 months, is where the world is his to explore.
Everything he sees, will eventually land in his mouth. This is the way they explore with their surroundings.
Be it toys, keys, dusts, you name it..he loves it!

Alhamdulillah, Xayd is developing well...

So what do you think he likes???

Want to guess?? Guess...guess...
Ahhh...give up lah...

you wouldn't have guess it lah...it won't come across your mind..

NO!! It is not the Fisher Price Kick n Play Piano...
It's the CURTAIN!!
WHAT??!! Pelik eh!

He totally loves the curtain.

Pulling out the curtain...

Going "inside" it...

Wrapping himself in the ~~cocoon~~ curtain...

His favourite lepak spot...
...perasan macam prince with mosquito net and all...

Calling his partner in crime...

...ya lah, the kakak lah is the one who introduce him to this "toy"...

Pull..pull..pull... (Selagi tak patah, selagi tu dia tarik)

Ok..crawl away..enough for the day...

So who ended up putting the curtain in place again?

Ibu jugak...
*sigh*

Scaredy Viera

2008-04-20T10:04:00.002+08:00

Do you know what your little one is afraid of?
Or you can't be bothered to know..

You don't really know until you try and see it yourself.

It has to be natural, the natural instinct..if it's with something you use as a tool to scare her, that..does not count.

Here's a short snap: Everytime we went to Vivo, Viera will surely get excited when she spotted the cable cars. So one fine day, she insisted us to have her ride on it (that was like few months back).

Only last Sunday, we granted her wish. We made it come true!
The maid was on leave (we are evil, we only go to good places when she's on leave), everyone was up early (like as if they know), bags were packed the night before and before 10am we were out from the house.

So..we're on the way, we're are on the way..on the way to SEN-TO-SA!
Tune from "We're on the way to Grandpa's Farm" song.
Courtesy of that purple Dino.

Viera was so excited to meet eye with the cable car...
see see..

The minute we onboard the cable car, she got scared!
She kept on saying, "Takot jatoh. Tak jatoh ke?"

The ultimate change of expression.

She is afraid of heights!!

She wouldn't go near the window to look out nor stand or walk about.
All she did was sit down quietly, one hand clasp her father's shirt while the other rooted to the seat!

I didn't know that she is afraid of heights until last Sunday.
and I still don't know what had made her feel that way.

Could it be that we all live in tall building?

But that doesn't make sense when we only live on 3rd storey...

Is it natural?? I wonder.

Barney LIVE!

2008-04-09T19:20:00.002+08:00

Yeah!

Finally my Barney Let's Imagine Live! tickets are here!!

I only bought 2 tickets which means...
the daddy and the son stay at home!

Daddy..simply hates the purple dinosaur and could not stand it.
The son is too small to understand 'craps' the purple dinosuar is croaking.
The mommy..forced to tag the daughter and sacrifies her time as well as the money to accompany her.
The daughter..her love for Barney is priceless..it's like 'A day without Barney is a day without sunshine'.
Yup..that bad.

I took the trouble to switch on the computer, log in to the internet, find sistic website, tried to book for the best seat but ended up frustrated because did not know how to go about it...so I took my handphone out and simply, SIMPLY, called Sistic up and booked tickets for two.
How dumb!

Still quite upset for being a little late to get the front row..
But 2nd row will do.

So please, BIG Purple Dino, do not disappoint me or my daughter.
We've paid a total of $143 just to see you perform live for an hour 25 minutes show.
'Cause if you ever disappoint this ~~crazy~~ little fan of yours, (my daughter, like duhh) don't be ~~super-dee-duper~~ surprised when she bash you up ~~like nobody business~~ on stage as she is just 1 seat away from you.

Make a date on 6 June at 7.30pm. Checked
Place the tix in a safe place that I can remember and to avoid the maid from throwing it down the chute. Checked

I'm Back!

2008-04-06T04:47:00.002+08:00

Ohhh...

After nearly a year of MIA...
Finally I'm back!

Nope, I did not go anywhere..
I am still where I am.

The reason for M-I-A:
I simply couldn't log in to this blogger.
How kental!

So now I'm back. I could not wait to update.
My fingers are all itchy everywhere.

But not now, I want to sleep.
Look at the time...it's darn early in the morning!

zzzZZzzzZZzz

Sickening...!

2007-07-04T13:29:00.000+08:00

Look at the date of my previous entry!
When was it again?? March 07??
Ohh..sickening!

I have been trying to log in but failed.
And only today I am able to.
Sickening, again!

I have not deliver yet, waiting for the day.
I have yet 2 weeks to wait..
please pray hard for me so that I have a smooth delivery.
Eventhough this is my 2nd time but I don't want to go through the trouble that I'd went through with my first one.

And yes, my baby's gender.
Some of you may have guessed it rite...

Thank you to those for your well wishes.

And just yesterday, my little girl had learnt to put on clothes all by herself!
No wonder I heard her talking by herself and when she appeares in front of me, I was so shocked to see her in an oversized t-shirt, which belongs to her father.
I was so amazed that she was able to put it properly.

She came to me like this...

Suddenly something caught her eyes...its the hairband.

And then...

It struck me to ask her to pose like this....

Does she resembles anything or something?

???

At Last!

2007-03-07T21:50:00.000+08:00

Oh my...
Eversince I changed to the new Blogger, I had a hard time logging in.
Finally the problem is over and now I can start updating again.

I don't know where to begin so let me categorize them for the pleasure of your reading and also easier for me to explain.

Family: Alhamdulillah everyone is fine, including myself. I'll soon take over Norbit's leading role, as sooner or later I will look like that fat lady. So if you spot someone that looks like her in the MRT or better still at any carwash station, please don't ask for autograph yet..it might be me.

Pregnancy: I had my 5th month intensive ultrasound scan at RH just now. Everything's fine and normal..Alhamdulillah. The gender...hmmm...I will reveal to you tomorrow. Eversince I'm pregnant, I don't know why I had a strong craving for these....

Ice Cream!!!
See the top picture...My freezer is full of Ice Cream!
Love my husband for his full understanding and buy them for me.
Thank you Dear!

Work: Work is as usual. It's sucks and nothing interesting and proud to share.

So there...I'm done with my first entry after 3 months M-I-A.
Hope I can log in again tomorrow...
If not, maybe in another 3 months time then you'll hear from me again..
and you shall wait long-long to know my baby's gender.

Pump It!

2006-12-29T23:18:00.000+08:00

AWS a.k.a Bonus is here!!

Yah..some of you may had already enjoyed with it...
As for me, I just did!!
Better late than nothing...

Ask me what I bought...ask me...ask me....

I got what I have been eyeing for.
Nothing big nor expensive.
Don't want to splurge nor overspent.

And I got myself these...

Plus that pink bedsheet behind them.

Finally, I got to buy what I wanted...

I can only buy it now not because of the bonus thingy..
Well, the bonus do play a part too but due to the fact that I am pregnant already.
Ooops...I've blurt it out!

Ok lah..here's the proof...

Why now then buy?
Why wait for the second child then buy?

For my 1st child, I used the Medela single electronic pump...
But I hate it to the core!
It was freaking painful.
It's a good product though but I hate it.

So now I decided to change to Avent ISIS IQ UNO electronic pump..
because I heard it is much more comfortable with cushioning and it looks nicer.
Hahaha...outlook do count too.
Wanted to get the 2 pumps one, which can saves time pumping two at the same time..Avent ISIS IQ DUO...but my husband says I will look like a lembu (lembu = cow).
Right.....

And some more...
I bought myself new maternity wear plus underwear from Mothercare.
and it's all in black and white...hahahaha..
The reason...black looks slimmer while the white looks bigger...
Got it?? I didn't get it.

And some some more...
The pink bedsheet I bought it at Sintex Warehouse Sale at a bargain.
The word SALE said it all.

And that's what I did with my bonus...

Next Target: Baby Bjorn Carrier.
I still have a baby carrier from my 1st one but I don't really like it.

I believe in New Child, New Thing....

Not too much of pass down things.

Can? Can?

Lazy Pig Is Back

2006-12-17T22:10:00.000+08:00

Enough of my cream cakes!
The more I see, the more I wanted to puke.
Don't you feel like puking, the minute you open up my blog page and see the same entry plus the cute little castle cake, over and over again?
Tell me about it...

I had so many things to share but don't know where to start.
If I tell everything, the entry will be so damn long that before you can even finish reading it, you'll fall asleep.
I bet you will...

So let me begin one by one..One of each day.
(and that applies if I'm not lazy enough to switch on the computer)

On the 2nd of Dec, my ex-classmates, way back in secondary school organized a reunion party.

I had my husband to tag along and found out that everyone was not married except for me!
Gosh...that shows that I am the most laku one or..... maybe I am the most gatal of all??
Fact is...I am both lah eh, senang kata!

I really enjoyed myself...gossiping and behaving like as if I am 16.

Class 4E5..ex Greenview-ens.

My closest bunch of friends...

I was happy to see them again..Enjoyed myself very much!

Feels like a young girl once more.

Oh darn..it's late now..Good nite!

Cream Cakes

2006-11-19T21:20:00.000+08:00

Have you ever drool for cream cakes, especially when you walk pass a bakery shop that displays all that yummy cakes?
I used too but not anymore.
Since I work at my current job now, I am beginning to hate cakes!
The thought of it really makes me puke!

Just imagine, at my current centre has approximately 200+ students.
And when their birthday comes, they die-die ask their parents to celebrate it in the centre with their friends.
That, includes the teachers. Indeed, we get our shares too.

For the first month working here, I enjoy eating cakes.
I get to savour on the cake almost everyday, excluding Sat and Sun.
But then...I began to feel like 'what..cake again?'.
And that's the start of me purposely closing my eyes when walking pass the cake shop.

I can't take it anymore...I hate cakes!
And can you imagine, this whole week, from Monday to Friday..I have been eating cakes!
And by Friday, I felt like I'm one of the participant in 'Fear Factor', who tries very hard to swallow the food.
The feeling of chewing and forcing it to down my gullet is like worst than eating Madagascar Hissing Cockroaches.
In the end, I finished it up..I win the race..
Fear is not a Factor for me though!

Why must it everytime be chocolate sponge cake with lots of cream in the middle and at the top of it?

Why can't it be New York Cheesecake or better still Oreo Cheesecake?

Maybe a simpler one....Ice-cream cake...Swensens please, will do.

Pimp My Room Season 2

2006-11-11T10:57:00.000+08:00

Welcome everyone to the one and only programme that revamps the same room throughout the whole season.
We have come to the 2nd season of Pimp My Room.

And today's targeted room is still my baby's playroom.

Before the room was given some touch to it, it was actually a plain and boring room.
With the team effort to revamp the room, slowly it has developed to something we are proud to call a PLAYROOM!

Before...

Then...

Now...

See that makcik kecik sitted cross-legged on the slide.

See the changes??

With the help and support from my dearest husband, the playroom now looks livelier and fresh.
With apple green paint and big pink flowers scattered on one part of the wall.

I love it very much.

The painting was done by me and hubby, the drawing of flowers are drawn by me and the colours were mixed by me.

I actually bought a 7 litre white paint.
Yup, white in colour and I bought it for only $18.

How do I get so many colours??

My father used to work in one of a well-known painting factory and he is in-charge of mixing and making coloured paint.
So then he teaches me how to transform white into colors that I want.
Saves money huh!

Don't believe??

See the difference on the half left hand side of the wall and the other half of this picture?
Not enough??

This part of the wall used to be in bright yellow, which I hate it so much then.
So I toned it down, to a brownish kind of colour.
It's an unfinished work of a wall, just to let you see the difference.

and if you pay attention to my child's playroom, you will be able to spot that I uses 4 colours...green apple, pink, red and white.

Unbelievable but true!

Hey, I just realised that I can open up a paint factory of my own.
Oh but well, I haven't learn the formula in making the paint itself.

So to those of you who wants to save money and thinking of painting in colours, feel free to ask ok.

Till the next episode..
Join me again some other time and day in Pimp My Room.

She Loves Him

2006-11-10T23:19:00.000+08:00

Today's entry is not about me.
If it is about me, abviously the 'him' would have be my hubby..who else.

It's about this cute little 4 year old girl who had fallen in love.
She had fallen in love with...Guess who??

As she knew that I always bring along my camera to work, she came up to me and ask me to snap pictures of her.
I was puzzled and asked her why she wants it.
She replied, "I want to marry Jonathan."

Jonathan?? Jonathan who??

"Jonathan Leong lah, teacher. The Singapore Idol."

Oh my, this girl knows her stuff man.

Dear Jonathan,

I'm writing to you on behalf of my dearest student, Hannah, who does not how to read and write yet.
If you happen to read this, please look at her picture and give your full consideration on this.
She poses just to make herself look beautiful, that's what she claims.

Me...

Love, Hannah.

Cute kan!

I love this girl very much!
And she added on asking me to marry Hady.

Oh well, I got my Datok H already, little girl.

It Hurts!

2006-11-09T18:42:00.000+08:00

*sigh*

What is with people nowadays?
Should I say lack of brains?
Hmm..maybe.

I hurt my left ankle, sprained it to be precise.
It was embarrassing but still the people there are just DAMN brainless to sit and watch me struggling to stand properly.

It all happen in this feeder bus where I will take to go back home from my parent's house.
As usual, the bus will be packed full of people, on their journey back from work.
I carried my daughter in my arms and board the bus together with my maid.
As usual, again, nobody will give up their seat to me eventhough they see a beautiful girl sitting happily on my arms.
It really doesn't bother me because I don't mind standing.
So, this driver, don't know what is with him today, accelerated the bus with force that it made the bus jerk tremendously.
The people who are standing loss their balance but did not go to the extend of falling or spraining their ankle.
Unlike me, I loss my balance and with Viera's weight added to the force, it made me twist me ankle.
My maid looked at me, my foot and then smile!
What the F@*#!
I felt like giving her a tight slap on that oily cheek!
Didn't even help me.
Luckily, I had a good grip on the bars if not...
I would have rolled to the back of the bus and would have scored a strike.

And, tak boleh angkat lagi, the people that were sitted were the young ones.
Few of them are still schooling, some of them are dressed in traditional clothes most probably still jalan-jalan raya and some more lah.
Even the people sitted in front of me witness the incident, they pretended to doze off or even worst looked away.

People, wake up lah dey!

This kind of things happen everyday.
I ever witness a pregnant lady in the MRT standing, while the other commuter pretended that she did not exist.
Well, it happened to me when I was pregnant.
Nobody gave their seat.

But there is this one incident I cannot forget.
After I had gave birth, 3 month after that, I went to work and as usual board the MRT.
It was crowded so everyone was pushing me away, till I ended up to a small space just right for my size to squeeze in.
Then this old man in front of me, looked up at me and gave his seat to me.
I was reluctant but he insisted, so dengan tak tau malu nya I sat down.

Oh gosh, did I still look like I'm pregnant?

For the bloated wise, it still have not subside.....till today lah actually.

When will these swelling leave me for good?

As what one of my student says, "Teacher, you look like a Barbie Doll!"
With the body I have now, he thinks I look like a Barbie Doll wait till I really have the body of that doll.

What will he say then?

Ra Ra Ya!

2006-10-28T11:12:00.000+08:00

Raya updates!

Can't wait to post my raya photos here but not everything lah eh...which ever that are necessary only.

So this year we go SHOCKING CANDY PINK!

Sorry for the oily faces, this photo was taken at the last house.

While everyone is busy spring cleaning and grooming their house, my daughter was also very busy!
She was busy running, "cleaning" and dancing!

Busy Bee!

Very very busy!

Mari makcik-makcik kita berdangdut!!

Wah! Bukan main makcik kecik ni..happy nak pergi collection.

When everything was set, including our new shoes....

..we are all ready to memberi, 'mengollect', menjamu dan menziarahi.

Reached home nearly 1 am..but still we were happy and still wanted to take pictures despite the tiredness.

Terror ah si makcik kecik ni, dah pagi-pagi buta pon maseh tak ngantok!

So come the next day...the makcik kecik is so dead tired!
We left the house without her...
We took leave on the 2nd day of raya but not to go jalan raya, instead we went to FARMART to catch prawns!

Waiting for prawns to eat the bait.

Yeah! Our first catch!
Hahaha..you'll soon be in the freezer and then in our tummy!
Yum..yum!

See all those prawns..struggling to escape.
Don't worry, they are not going anywhere..they are going in our stomach and out from 'some where'.

Since there was only 1 fishing rod and there are 4 of us, we had to take turns to fish out the prawns.
Unfortunately, I catch no prawns. No luck on that day! Damn!
Since I don't have the hands to catch, all I did was to sit and wait, eat ice cream and cut the bait into smaller pieces.

So that's my story for the 1st and 2nd day of hari raya.
I'm going out again today, the visiting still needs to go on..

So neneks, datoks makciks dan pakciks..here we come!!!
Get ready your special delicacies..we haven't had our breakfast yet.

Artistic or Mathematician

2006-10-08T11:41:00.000+08:00

Which one, artistic or mathematician?
Which one do you think suits me best..you decide by the end of this entry.

I went for a mini fieldtrip with my school, to do up an art project.
Destination: NAFA School of Arts and Singapore Sculpture.

Since I'm a fat LOVER for arts, I was all excited about this trip.

The moment I stepped into the gallery, I was overwhelmed with the art pieces.
Drawings, painting, sculptures and broken ceramic arts were all displayed nicely.
I walked towards the first piece, as my starting point, to look out for the best 5 art pieces that I can connect with.
( I am already talking like an artist huh..connect with??)

Can't take pictures, so too bad you need to put on your imaginative cap and try to figure it out.

First painting was a picture of like a terrace house with people and a chair. background was paint in black and the picture was drawn with white dots. No pencil line.
First impression, not bad huh!
But when I read the description I was confused!
It says: "If you don't have a school-horn handy, you can use a dessert spoon to put on your shoe!"
What does a shoe got to do with a nice picture of a house?
Ok..never mind...NEXT!

Second pic, grey background, messy strokes.
Drawing of a high chair with pink curvy lines at the bottom.
My impression: This piece is simple and I can come out with many defination and criticism on this one.
But when it come to the description, I become a little lost!
Description: "Left or Right - which way should the Federal Eagle look?"

The more I see and read the description, I became totally confused and lost until I did not know what to do.

But I decided not to give up too soon.
I focus deeply and tried to connect with the picture.
I failed again. The description really gives me mental blockage!
So I decided to just write whatever I feel like writing and hey, who knows, I make a good fiction story-writer!

So then I ended my art criticism essay with, 'My conclusion for arts today are more to abstract rather than a define picture like the Mona Lisa.'

It's true ok.
So now when your children scribbles on their drawing block and painting with 'any how' strokes, you cannot criticise on it because that piece is call art.
And you might want to consider putting it up on Yahoo! Auction for bidding.
Who knows that piece of "art" can fetch to million of dollars.

Haha..

My work had sent me to this 'Employee Proficiency' test.
It's a test whereby, they want to know how proficient are you in the nature of your work.
We'll be rated from Level 1 to Level 8.
Level 1 is less proficient and Level 8 is excellent.

All the staff went to take the test and when the result came out, I was surprised that I score the BEST in Maths!
I had obtained Level 8 in Maths!
I was the only 1 that get Level 8. The invigilator was surprised too!
Then I told him, "I love Maths. That's why."
Action me!
The next best was Level 7, which only 2 of them obtained it.
Most of them get Level 4-5.

Which one I'm good at? I don't know.
I love them both, Maths and Arts.

But I heard that, artistic people can be good at maths too.

Look at me, the quote is proven as a fact!
Hahaha...I'm so action and proud!

What A Day!

2006-10-07T23:24:00.000+08:00

Becoming a pre-school teacher is a very challenging job.

The ultimate thing you must have is PATIENCE!
Tell me about it..
My patience is diminishing each day I tolerate with ~~nonsense~~ unsuitable behaviour of the children.

That's the reason why by the end of the day I will get sore throat.
Everyday! Without fail!
Another reason is of course due to the bad weather now.
Thanks to Mr Haze.

Last Wednesday, my patience was put to test.
In the middle of the test, my patience had left me for good! Totally gone!
I went completely berserk with that kid.

The minute she stepped into the school, she wailed like hell!
"I want Papa! I want Papa!" is the only thing she said.
She refused to walk to her own classroom, where I was there at that very moment.
So, the aunty had to carry her to the classroom.
The moment aunty put her down, she throw tantrums….
Slapping the wall, stamping the floor, polishing the floor (she lie down and moved herself in circular motion), threw her bag and the worst thing was she threw her shoes and retrieve it back, threw it again... Repeatedly!

Being a good teacher, I approached her and said to her nicely and gently as possible but deep down in me I was burning like hell!
She ignored me...Fine!
I went to her again but now I was firm with my words.

While I was talking, she ran to her shoe and threw them to her friends!
Apa lagi, I rum amok lah!
I shouted at the very top of my voice, asking her to pick up her shoes and put it in the shoe rack.
She ignored me again and continued polishing the floor, crying even louder!

I took her shoes and tell her that if she doesn't want her shoes then I shall throw them away!
Which...after counting to 10, I did throw them into the rubbish bin!

The very very worst part was, I totally forgotten about the shoe until 4pm then I remembered about them.
I dig for them in the rubbish bin but was so panicked that it was not there!
I asked the aunty whether they had thrown the earlier packed of rubbish.

With full of confidence, she replied, "I always throw morning rubbish at 1pm. I already throw it down to the main chute. The man there had put them into the machine to crush the rubbish down. :)"

That instance, I felt so terribly scared and my face was burning hot.
Oh my gosh...how is the kid supposed to go home barefooted!

Then....oh never mind!
I'm sure you don't want to know what happened next because if I were to type it down here, it'll be so lengthy that I can make a book out of this.

My advise to those of you who dream to be a Pre-school Educator and keep telling that you love kids, you better build up your patience level before getting yourself into unnecessary trouble.

Which I already did! Hahaha

A New Look

2006-10-01T01:04:00.000+08:00

Since Hari Raya is coming, everyone will be busy revamping their house and everything.
Yes, I'm all excited about Hari Raya!
Today marks exactly 1 week of fasting.
Yeahhh!

I'm already in the festive mood!
I can't wait to get my hands in the flour mixed with butter etc etc...
Hang the new curtains...
and most importantly, hearing the Aidilfitri song on the radio.

So to get the mood going, I decided to give my blog page a new look.

Taa Daa!

It's not that nice but at least when I look at it, it gives me adrenalin power to get going for this joyous festive season!

Got lots more to plan and do! Be taking annual leave next week to go IKEA. Ciao!

Easy or Not...You Decide

2006-09-24T14:25:00.000+08:00

Since the day that my daughter decided to go on her feet and walk, it has lighten the needs to carry her.
So now, where ever we go we'll let her waddle by herself...
that means, hubby's and my hands are free and we 'lenggang-lenggang kangkong' lah.

Ever since that day too, people will come up to me and said..

"Wah, dah pandai jalan ah anak you. Senang sikit keje u!"
or
"Dah besar eh dia! Budak tengah umur gini lah best. Dah senang sikit nak jaga...dah tak nangis sangat..jarang bangon malam.."

Hmmm...I wonder why people keep telling me that toddler-hood are much more easier to handle.
From my experience and point of view, i don't see the difference in toddler-hood and babyhood.
The growth of the child wise, there are differences...
but difficulty wise...hmmm...no difference!

You see, as baby grows up, they'll learn things and tend to be smarter.
Soon the difficulties that you faced during babyhood will slowly diminished and it will be replaced by other difficulties.
So...needless to say...there's no difference!

Easy or not...you be the judge...

Babyhood: Need to pat her to sleep.
Toddler-hood: She'll sleep by herself.

Babyhood

Toddler-hood

Babyhood: The need to carry her or having to push the pram (which is sometimes not convinient when there's a crowd)
Toddler-hood: Let her waddle by herself..hands-free...just like handphone's earpiece!

Babyhood

Toddler-hood
(She's the smallest one)

Babyhood: She goes where ever we go.
Toddler-hood: We go where ever she goes...need to follow her..if not she walks and gets lost!

Babyhood

Toddler-hood
(She's the smallest one, again)

Babyhood: Hold the milk bottle for her
Toddler-hood: She holds the bottle and gives it to me when finished.

Babyhood

Toddler-hood

Babyhood: Simplicity
Toddler-hood: Vanity

Babyhood - Simple pose, don't mind the shiny bald head.

Toddler-hood - Vain...oh gosh!

Mothers, be it babyhood or toddler-hood, both are equally the same.

But I don't mind the difficulties and the pain handling my daughter...I don't mind at all!
In fact, I am so happy...so so much happy...as I am blessed with a child that completes a family.

During bad times, she brings happiness and in good times, she gives extra bliss to it.

So mother's out there, if you feel the same way too...
Give yourself a pat at the back...you deserve it!!

Birthday Bash

2006-09-20T17:47:00.001+08:00

Oopps! I did it again.
I'm dead silent for a long time again.
Please excuse me for my busy schedule day after day,
and not updating my oh-so-dah-basi entry.

Gosh! Teacher's Day is way over and yet it is still at the top of the "list".
Excuse me again for my laziness.

So now I'm updating an event which is so already over.
An event that occured 1 month ago.
yes...you read it right...1 month ago!

And that is....

My daughter's 1st birthday party!!

See the cake???
I made it myself...it's Oreo Cheesecake!

With the help of my dearest husband and helpful brothers...
this is what they produce...

The decorations for the event. Nice huh!
Never did I know that they had a nice touch.
I was so busy with the cake, I leave all the decorations to them and in the end I was surprise that they did well on this.

At about 2.30pm...guests started to pour in...

While the mommies and daddies were busy eating and chatting...
their children were also busy...
They were busy....

playing....!

Thanks to the playroom, the children finally had something to keep them occupied while their parents had peaceful time to enjoy the food.

Before I end here...I would like to say...

Thank you to both of my parents, my brothers, in-laws and those who attended the event and make it possible.

Thank you very much!

Teacher's Day

2006-09-03T23:43:00.000+08:00

Ok..enough about the baby contest.
She didn't qualify for the finals...(that explains why I did not blog for quite some times.)
If she had went to the finals, I would be excited to update...
hahahaha...

But I was not disappointed at all.
I am happy for her capabilities and I am satisfied because my dream of putting her in baby contest finally paid off.

So...updates on Baby Bonanza has officially ended at this very moment.

Last Friday, is the happiest day for those teachers out there including myself.
Received gifts and cards from my beloved students.
Now I know the reason why children buy gifts for the teachers.

The minute, my students came up to me and hand me a nicely wrapped present, I was like "Wow! They actually remembers me..so touching!"
It was like, in a way for me to appreciate my students better and whenever they did something wrong, I won't have the heart to scold them like mad.

The best part was, one of my students..he did not give any present to the teachers..yup..that includes me.
He was mischievious and so he did something that made my partner go crazy.
And my partner shouts at him, "Never give me present, still can make me angry!!"
Wadda hell....
Hey, it's true you know...when a student did not give u something...you'll feel like not wanting to give anything for children's day.
Waste money....

Back to Friday, I went to Malacca to have DnD there.
The only part that I enjoyed was chit-chatting (and gossiping) with my collegues till 3am, back in the hotel room.

These are some of the snapshots I took during the trip...

Almost all the staff

The gerek punye kakis.

Theme was Aloha but what were we thinking...
Didn't even dress like one...except for the flower on my head.

The best collegues I ever had!

Yuckssss! One of the activities was to decorate a t-shirt and this was what my centre came out with!
I hate it...seriously!

We are leaving on the bus...
can't wait to be back to Singapore...

I had fun there....but...once in a while when i thought of home...
SUDDENLY, I MISS MY HUSBAND AND DAUGHTER BADLY!

The Making of Little Einstein

2006-08-18T09:38:00.000+08:00

What am I doing infront of the computer at this very hour??
To those of you who are working hard, continue working.
And for those who are like me, resting at home with a valid MC...hurray...time to rest and hibernate!

But I am feeling very restless and bored!
Because of what?? Because of this person who had "bubbled" me.
Whatever lah...

I have always dream to be like Einstein..be crazy and mad of formulae and equations.
I love algebra but really hate graphs!
And too bad, during my poly days, I had to learn Engineering Maths and it involves loads of graphing and most of the time I felt like eating the graph paper!

So now, I guess, my dream to be like Einstein had been brought down to my daughter.
Why??
Because she is now competing in the semis for the Little Baby Genius contest held by Baby Bonanza 2006.
From 300+ contestant, now down with only 20 babies!

Can you believe that?

See...they even take photo of the little geniuses including ahem ahem..the proud mommies and daddies.
Can spot me??
I purposely stood in the front row just to make myself vivid in the picture.
Who knows they might published it in the papers or magazines.

This is how the game was played.

Before the event started, Xaviera was already sleepy.
I was panicked so I did everything to make her awake.

From her face, can tell that she is tired.

Her queue number.

Xaviera was actually selected for 2 categories...
The Little Baby Genius and Super Crawler.
But on that day itself, Xaviera was so distracted with the baby that crawl beside her and she sit halfway through the race, just to watch her rival crawl pass her!
Wasted....

So she was out of the game...
I didn't feel dissapointed because we did not go home empty handed!

She was given this.....

2 large pack of MamyPoko Pants and the blue paper bag consists of....

mommy personal things.

Not bad huh. The prize for going this far.

The proud mommy and daddy.
While I was editing this picture, I realise that I was chubbier than my husband.

There, I met with my old friend.
My best ex-collegue, working part-time at Pizza Hut, way back then.
She is now a manager in Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf.
And she gave us this...FOC...

Thank you Shidah!!

Wish this little girl a Good Luck in the semis this coming Saturday, which is tomorrow.
Anyone interested to watch this little Einstien in action, do come down at Compass Point at 3.30pm.

Magical Moment, 09.08.06

2006-08-12T19:22:00.000+08:00

09.08.06, yes I know...It's Singapore's Birthday.
Nope, I did not go to the stadium nor enjoying myself in JB.
Being a patriotic Singaporean, I stayed at home...sleep most of the time...and by 6 pm, I switched on the tv and watched the parade.

So, that's about it...my routine when it comes to public holiday.

But, this very day on the 9th August 2006..something magical happened.
I was overjoyed and was screaming most of the time.

Guess...
guess...
Never mind...I just can't wait to share...

MY DEAREST LITTLE PRINCESS MAKES HER FIRST BIG STEPS!!

Yes! Yes! She can already waddle her way from one end to another.

See that??
She is strutting her duck walk through the hallway!

Only God knows how happy I was!
Guess, Xaviera wants me to be the first to see her walk.

I didn't get to see her first crawl.
All I know was, when I fetched her from my mother's place, my mom was like, "Lyn, anak kau dah merangkak tau!"
Too bad, can't witness her first move to crawling.

But on that day, 09.08.06, I was the one who boast off that Xaviera can already walk.
It feels good, man!

Look at her!!
One glance, she looked like (maybe, for some of you, staring helps), like Chucky eh.
Hey, that Chucky-look-alike is my daughter and I am proud to say that she can already WALK.

Before I end this entry, enjoy this short videoclip..
A short scene from the coming blockbuster movie, Chucky Who Turns Into A New Leaf.
Directed by, the one and only talented Mommy.

Catch the movie at cinema near you.
Based on true story.

Baby Bonanza 2006

2006-08-06T12:10:00.000+08:00

Heard of this event, The Baby Bonanza 2006?
For those who never heard of this, I think the event title itself explains everything.
It's a baby contest, hosted by Mediacorp 8, and it is a BIG event catered for baby from 8-12 month and toddlers too.

Being a KIASU mother myself, I registered Xaviera in.
Guess what, she was selected for the qualifying round.

So went to Compass Point for the qualifying round and to my surprise the queue was freaking long!!
Xaviera was the 259th contestant!

So noisy....

The worst part was, it took us 1 and a half hour to queue up and the judgement test only took less than 10 minutes!

Why am I complaining??
The queueing up was all done by my maid.
Hubby, Xaviera and myself happy-happy eat at KFC and searching for Viera's toys.

The proof...

And the best part, Xaviera did all the test with confidence.
I was so surprised that she didn't feel awkward or scared and she mingles with the judges as if she knew them for a long time.

This is the Fastest Crawler competition.

The Little Baby Genius competition.
This is where they will give two chances to the baby and they will have to put in one of the toys into the pail in the fastest time.

I was amazed, yes..AMAZED, by her capabilities!
I thought she would ended up like most of the baby before her where they will sit in the middle of crawling before ending at the finishing line...
....or....
Biting and playing with the toys and not putting it into the pail.

Yet, she can finish the crawling part within 5 second

and she only took 2 second to put in the toy into the pail!

I am so proud of her!

So...so...so proud of her!

All that scaffolding really pays off, Thanks to Vygotsky's Theory.

From Birth to 1 Year Old

2006-08-04T20:29:00.000+08:00

I can't believe that my first born baby has grown up!
She's 1 year old now and I'm feeling sad..very very sad!

Why?

It's because I don't want her to grow up fast...
I just couldn't understand myself!
Some people say that they can't wait for their child to grow up, which they think that it will be much easier to handle.
But not for me!!

I like her to be naughty..

I like her to be active..

I like her to cry in the middle of the night, wanting me to carry her and put her, to sleep again, in between me and hubby..

I don't mind having to wake up at night to prepare her milk..

I enjoyed when she disturb me when I'm rushing to do my assignments..

I like to see her biting and tearing my assignment question papers, at least I have a reason to extend the due date and make the biting and tearing as an excuse..

Oohh...I'm definately gonna miss those days!!
People say, can always have the second one..
But, they just don't understand, the feeling will be different..
First born and second born...
See the difference?

Never mind.

A quick entry before the day ends.

HAPPY 1ST BIRTHDAY TO MY DEAREST DAUGHTER!!

Mommy and Daddy love you so much!
I'll be back with more entry but for now I have to go as I am packed with assignments and projects to do.

Bye!

Vanity...that's what I'm born to be

2006-07-03T20:15:00.000+08:00

Vanity is something that female should have.
Indeed, I believe in vanity.
So, I went to a make-up class last Saturday.
My company had sponsored for the course.
Since it's free, I gladly volunteered to attend the course.

It is conducted by Make Up For Ever and the place..wow!..really makes me feel like a rich superstar!

This is the place that I'm talking about.
It is situated at Stamford House.

Everybody is busy putting on colours to their faces.

This reminds me of something.
It reminds me of America's Next Top Model show.
Hey! I miss that show.

Ok, back to my story...
So there are 10 of us attending the course but only 3 out of this 10 are young people.
And that includes me.
We 3 are of a same age and we 3 are the noisiest people there.
The rest??? Stare and look at the picture properly and you can see what I mean.

So we get to the hands on part.
This was the part where I realise that we behave worst than those kids at school.
We mixed around, playing with the colours...laugh like nobody business, moving around the class just to laugh at the "older people's" face and worst of all, we think our make up is the best!
Got it???

I tell you ah...the rest of them put on shocking pink eyeshadow, hot pink blusher and red fire lipstick!
Goodness...they really look like a...aahhhhhh...please don't pretend like you don't know what I mean!

See..this is me and my best collegue.

To tell u the truth, my normal make up looks nicer than this.

2006-06-27T23:22:00.000+08:00

Teachers....Teachers

I hate it when there is briefing or meeting!
My eyes will surely feel heavy and watery.
I will stare blankly at the speaker and every 1 minute I will surely yawn.
I yawn till tears filled my eyes.
I will begin to fidget, start drawing nonsense on the agenda paper and start scratching myself like a monkey.

So today is the day, all the description above pays me a visit.

I had a curriculum briefing just now at noon...I really hate it alot!!
It started from noon and ended at 6.10pm.
Can you imagine that?!! And we were only given 15 minutes for break!

So, I got to meet other teachers from other branches, teaching of a same level class.
They are...uuummmmm...too attentive and too hardworking till they ask so many question, where else for me, I can't even think of a question to ask them. Because...I am not listening from the start till the end!

We had to bring 1 learning activities that we are proud of to present.
It's a must to bring.
So I only started preparing it yesterday night till I slept at 3.00am.

Teachers...Teachers...how can you find the time to prepare all these activities?

Here are some of the activities that they are proud to showcase....

Very hardworking teacher.
So do I because I took the time to do it too till I slept at 3 am last night.

See...all the teachers are admiring their's and others' hard work.

To tell you the truth...mine is the best!
Everyone commented about it till I had to present and explain it.

Yes....Indeed they were surprised, shocked and it really caught their attention!
For once, during that period of presenting, I was awake because I don't want to talk nonsense!

At first, I did not want to display it but they insisted.

Not enough??
This is how it looks like without having anything to support it open.

Nice huh!!
Indeed it will look much better if the laminator machine is not spoil!

So there, I was like the "joker" for the day...hahahaha.

From a zero to a somebody that all the teachers look up to.

Thanks to the laminator machine!

2006-06-25T09:17:00.000+08:00

Goodbye, My Love

I received a phone call, saying that the person, I truly love, will no longer be a part of my life anymore.

Shocked I was, but I have to be strong.

Nope...I didn't cry because I don't see the point of crying.

Yesterday was day, I parted with that person.

Sad but true! Life has to go on with or without that person.

Yup, this is "that person" that I've been mentioning earlier.

See that...I will surely miss her oversized buck teeth and that "oh-so-like rabbit" smile.

Goodbye dearest Ashlyn. I will surely miss you.

She gave me something before she went home.
Since I knew that this will happen because I saw the "goodie bag" in her cubby hole, I made a '10 minute' card for her. Last minute work!
The card for her was supposed to be done by my colleague but she was on MC that day.
It just took me 10 minutes to finish drawing and another 45 minutes to be the writer.

One look, people will surely know it's a 10 minute worth of work.
The other 45 minutes, I took time to write 32 messages from 32 students.

All my students can't write, they are still in Nursery, so I was like, you know, old times where most of them are illiterate and there is this educated person who writes their telegraphs.

So I called each of them up, asking them what they want to say to the leaving friend, assist them in writing and signing off with their names.

A bit too messy but what to do, not enough time to do a proper one.

Talking about messy, I don't know why I like to work in a mess.

A very messy table that belongs to a messy teacher herself.

See that attendance book on the top left hand corner of first picture.
Half of the day had gone and still I had not keep the attendance book!

Mess..Messy...Messiest Teacher!

That's the award that I will get on Teacher's Day!

Animal Instincts

I was browsing through a local magazine and one of the article published in it really caught my attention.
It was issued on the month of Feburary this year and only now I realise there is such a page published in it.

It goes like this....

Who's up for some wild sex? Find out how we humans measure up to our beastly cousins.

(Interesting!)

Fact 1

Chimpanzees hold the record for the quickest mammal sexual intercourse session at an average of just three seconds!

Fact 2

Mosquitoes actually mate while still buzzing in the air. The downside? Their aerial acrobatics last all of two seconds. No wonder frustrated female mozzies are such pesky bloodsuckers.

Fact 3

Been getting complaints about the size (or lack thereof) of your ahem... pecker? Take heart. An adult gorilla's penis is only two inches long.

Fact 4

On the other end of the size spectrum is the rhinoceros with a penis of about (faint!) two feet long. Who's a big boy now?

Fact 5

Humans, fish and porpoises share a common sexual practice. They perform fellatio. (fellatio: oral stimualtion of the penis)

Fact 6

Penguin only has one single orgasm in a year. And who could blame 'em? Sitting on ice-blocks the year round would freeze anyone's nut off!

Fact 7

The sperm of a mouse is actually longer than the sperm of an elephant.

Fact 8

Because a female bedbug has no vagina, the male uses his curved penis to drill a sexual opening into her. Yikes!

Fact 9

Humans and dolphins are the only species that have sex for pleasure.

Fact 10

A pig's orgasm lasts (gulp!) about 30 minutes! Beat that!

Interesting huh!

For those of you who already read on this, sorry lah...I'm so outdated!

I find it so intersting that I really have to publish it on my blog.

Once in a while, I should spare a space for animals.
They should be given a chance to be known and seen too.

To think back again, ask yourself....
"If I am given a chance to be a female animal, which animal would I be?"
Hahahaha...I know what's in your mind....

Rhino...rite??

Project Super ~~Star~~ Banner

We plan the layout.....
sketch the motif....
decide on the colour theme....
draft the content....
think of a catchy title.....

on Physical Abuse.

Whoooaaaa...that is only the planning...

The make do part was even worst!

Still we work hard to win!!

But the thereafter part, we kept smiling and can't stop mesmerizing at our own work.

Ha ha..Such a contradict to the title cos we are smiling.
This mean that we are not physically abuse. Cheh!

Satisfying though tiring too as my bestfriend and I did most of the work because the other two self-declare that they can't think much due to the age gap.

But I don't give a damn, at least they help what they can help like cutting, pasting and errrr...i think that's all.

See them cutting.
Me?? I do something else and snap picture cos I'm darn lazy with these kind of task, especially cutting small teeny-weeny tiny bits and pieces.

99% done.

Went to class and did a presentation on the banner....

We won! Yup, we won! The best of them three!

Let's kaypo-kaypo and see other group's....

Group 1

Theme: Child Illness

Lecturer Comments: "A bit too messy and not so interesting."

Mind you, this lecturer is like Simon Cowell, laser!

Group 2

Theme: Food Pyramid

Lecturer Comments: "I don't really understand on the food pyramid that you cut into half. I can understand that you say you want to make it look orignal but don't you think that you had break up one of the group into two different part which is wrong. Also, the colour doesn't suit the theme. It has to be in bright colours to attract people to read on healthy food."

Group 3

Theme: Child Abuse

Lecturer Comments: (She paused for a few second) "I don't have any comment. It is very comprehensive. The colour suits the theme and the pictures, where did you get those? It look so real."

This is her comments, real comment not I made up one hokay.

This is the Fantastic Four that won.

My best pal in white - the author. She is good in her language. Very helpful!

Me in balck - the "illustrator". I love arts! Wanted to take up a course in arts back then in poly but my mom insisted to take something else.

My 'motherly' friend in peach - the cutter and story teller. She do keep us awake when we felt sleepy with all her stories.

My 'caring' friend in navy blue- She bought cakes and water for us so as to keep our grumpy stomach a little happy.

That's not all. There are lots and loads of projects and assignment still pending.

Need to rush before the due date.

Anyone care to do it for me instead?

2006-05-29T19:35:00.000+08:00

You Know I Can't Smile Without You

I am suppose to be white but some people like me to be yellow.
I am strong and I bite.
Without me you can't talk properly.
What am I?

Think...think...think...This is very easy.

Ready or Not, I'm telling you the answer.....Teeth!

No no..it's not about my teeth (what to tell you about my teeth?)
It's Xaviera's.
She is teething and still teething now.
Her teeth have started to erupt.
One by one, jutting out of her pink healthy gums.
Indeed, she already has 3 teeth now!

There she is showing her 2 teeth.
The other one she hides it. Show two enough already.

Since she got teeth already...I bought her this....

A toothbrush....and....

a toothpaste.

That make a complete good oral hygiene..only without dental floss.

Brush her teeth every morning and night and she enjoys it very much!

Look at her....

So now, Xaviera has her own toothbrush and toothpaste and that makes the toothbrushes family complete....

Welcome to your new family, dear toothbrush and toothpaste.

Menu for the Old Infant

My baby is already known as an old infant.
I didn't know until I read an article on 9 month old baby.
The word 'old' sounded awful to me.
It sounded like as if babies will start to grow white hair, wrinkles etc etc at 9 month onwards.

On the bright side, it's only a term for bigger baby plus there is the word infant there.
So meaning, she is still in the infancy stage.
Xaviera is no longer a newborn, her number of days living in this world are increasing each day...so why bother with the term 'old infant'.

Yes....I am a proud young mother of this old infant.
Hahaha!

This old infant of mine eats a lot now. I Love it!
The more I feed her, the more she eats.
When her food has finished and her bowl is super-duper clean...she cries for more food, I will gladly go to the kitchen and make more food for her.

The feeling when I see her eating a lot is indescribable.

I even prepare a menu plan for her......

Upon wakening..breakfast..lunch..tea..dinner and of course snacks in between.

This is what she will have upon wakening at 7 am.

These are for breakast at 10 am.

For lunch..bread with cheese or mashed potato..with yogurt and fruit juice.

Tea break..thin slices of fruits or bottled custard.

Dinner..porridge, pudding and boiled water.

And...this is for snacks in between.

Being a full-time working mother isn't easy.

That is the reason why you see a lot of HEINZ bottled foods.

This is what I call....Hassle-free!

But I still cook for the porridge and mashed potato.

Hey..I'm not as lazy as I thought..Haha!

Revamping The Empty Spare Room into...

2 months ago, I had this plan of revamping the empty spare room into a playroom.
Started cleaning up the room, planning what toys to buy and how to make it look attractive and interactive.

A month ago, I had started buying the toys and equipments for the room.
Went to Toy 'R' Us to survey the things that were already planned to put in the room.
Chuck all the toys and equipment into the room without even arranging it nicely.

A week ago, during the weekend, me, hubby and my two little brothers help out by decorating the room and making it look like a playroom.
Thanks to them, the disorganised room, that was once was an empty spare room, had been revamped into a playroom now.
*Sedap sikit mata memandang*

See how hardworking they are.
My hubby is pasting the glow-in-the-dark space thingy onto the ceiling.

At least now it looks like a playroom!
I really love it, although it's not finish..
Still need some touching up here and there.

From outside view.

A view from one of the corner.

Another view from other corner.

See that...
I really love it!
Though get some idea from here and there...
but most importantly is that I am really satisfied with the room!

Once everything is done...

I shall start planning to open up an infant and childcare base at my house.

Hahaha

Anyone interested?

Happy Birth & Mommy's Day

Do you get what the title says?
Let me explain....it's two event in one day.

May 12 marks my mother's birthday and May 13 or 14 (either one, I'm not to sure) is Mother's Day!
Get it now?

We planned a surprise party for my mom and it turns out well eventhough it is not how we've planned it to be.
We thought of surprising her the minute she enters the house but something unexpected turned out.

But then...

We managed to surprise her eventhough the event was halfway done.

As she was on the phone.....
We put the cake behind her....
(my mother is at the back, gold coloured tudong)

Gathers everyone to get ready for the surprise....

And when she is finally done with the talking, she turns around and was SURPRISED!!
A cake behind her with everyone shouting "SURPRISE!"

Everybody start pouring out their presents...

She starts smiling and blushing...

And we start singing and eat!

Better be late than nothing...I would like to wish all mommies out there a HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY!

including myself too!

I Love You, Mak!

2006-05-08T11:34:00.000+08:00

Pimp My Room and...MYSELF too!

Oh My! I really need time.
If only I could buy time...then life would be much easier and less messy.

Update on my little princess room...

I have hung up the door curtain.

And move around the slide to find space so that my lil princess can move about about freely.

The rest of it....don't bother asking.
Untouched and stationary.

Went to Sheng Shiong or better known as Sing Song yesterday.
We shop till we drop!

We shop for this.......

Yeah!! A month supply of instant noodles!

and.........

instant finger foods!!

and titbits...junk foods and more junks!

With all these, it shows how lazy I am to cook for my hubby and not forgetting..myself!

I promise I will cook a scrumptious meal this weekend, dear.

I have the right tool and the right books...

Thanks to Asmah Laili's cook book.

I'll update if I happen to try the recipes.

2006-05-06T03:01:00.000+08:00

Hachoooooo.....

Today, I had a really bad BAD flu.
I blow my nose very hard until, oh gosh, both my ears are like stucked with ear plugs.
And now I am irritated with that something stuck in my ears.

And the best part is...I can't taste all the yummy food hubby bought for me!
He bought cheese prata, murtabak and strawberry ice-blended for dinner!
*sigh*
Annoyed with the tasteless buds I have, I stopped my half eaten food, went to kitchen and gobbled down a capsule of Panadol Cold.
Fortunately, it does what it says...effective relief for cold, flu......

I decided to take one more capsule before I sleep...BUT THEN....
when I looked back at the box the expiry date was on 03/2006!!

Oh My Go*!
I've eaten an overdue and expired medicine!
No wonder I can't sleep! Just look at the time now!!!
No...please don't tell me the expired medicine works the opposite.

Will I suffer insomnia??
No!!! But I don't feel like sleeping now!
How???
Someone call the doctor for me!!
I'm panicking..only God can explain!

Thank goodness, I'm still breathing now!
Keep on breathing...
Breathe in...breathe out...breathe *eh dah macam nak beranak pulak!*

I will try to sleep now...

I will force myself to sleep...

May the force be with me.

First Visit to Toy 'R' Us and...A BIG Project!

Xaviera had her first visit to Toy 'R' Us on Labour Day.
The minute we stepped into the store, she started shouting at the top of her voice...until a poor little girl, just standing beside her, had to cover her ears and she even said, "Bising nye!".
Sorry to the poor little girl, Xaviera will always do that when she gets too over excited!

See that??

Kan tak tau diam name nyer tu. She kept on shouting and stretching her arms out to reach for the toys!

Pity her!

I had to carry her and her pram became our shopping trolley instead.
At the baby section, I let her roam by herself.
She grabbed the toys that were sitted quietly on the display shelf...
play with it, banged it, knocked it and left it!
She crawl to another shelf and did the same thing!

WOW!! My daughter really know how to "clean up" and bullies toys.

And her favourite toy of all.....BALLS!

Balls?? Out of so many toys.
She loves to kick it, roll it and throw it...and she will laugh and clap her hands when she does that!
Hehehe..save duit ibu, bola baru berapa.

Macam real jer! That thing, if you want, go and ask your father, ok?

And the BIG project is.......

transforming the spare room into a play room!

Ladies and Gentlemen, in today's episode of Pimp My Room...I can only afford to just buy the item first.
No time ley to decorate.

These are just few of the toys.

Little Tikes picnic table..

and...

Little Tikes slide.

Don't mind the mess cos it's still in a mess!
I will try to get it done as soon as possible..if I can find the time!

My hubby, too, have a BIG project and that is...

collecting all the troopers in Star Wars????

I don't get it but it is his hobby...I ~~will try to~~ understand dear.

Tune in again at the next episode of Pimp My Room.

Till then...

Good Bye!!

24th & 25th April.....

Warning: This may be a pretty long and boring entry for some of you.

Happy Belated Birthday to me...
Happy Belated Birthday to me...
Happy Belated Birthday to Meee...
Happy Belated Birthday to me!!

As you can see it says Belated..
It's not that I forgotten my own birthday..pffft!
How can I forget this "all the good present that I will be getting" day!
It's just that I'm too busy to update it on this bloggy...anyway, the door is still open for those who wants to give me a belated birthday present.

My birthday is on the 25th April , not both dates ahhh, and 24th April marks my 2nd anniversary!! Yeahhhh!

Wow! Time does speeds and without realising, I'm already 2 years married.....
Still remember the time I decorated my 'bilik pengantin',
my father applied henna on both hands and feet (I know, I know...some of you might think it's a typo error..my father?? henna?? Huh?? Usually, makcik2 do the thing but for me, my father was the one who design and applies the henna for me...sweet huh..hey, my father is good at art ok!),
my mother keeps going into her room to put something dat looks like folded envelopes (it is envelopes) into her bag,
my brothers were the pencuci pinggan..thoughful of them..kalau tak kerana dorang nampaknyer org-org semua makan pakai daun pisang, my cousins are the kendarat (distribute the wedding favors and pick up used plates, cup, tissue papers etc etc...),
aunties and uncles who help to run the show smoothly...etc etc etc...
Oh gosh! Too many to list out everything!!

And as for me, I sit by the dais...waiting for my prince to come pick me up, snap lots and lots of photo, smiling and laughing and waving to the people like one shamless princess and most importantly...witnessing all the efforts put in by people I mention above. Their hard work and the amount of sweat they shed...must not be forgotten!!

My father is the Kadi, the henna designer and money collector.

Dah Halal...

The Next Day...
(on my birthday)

Finally my prince arrives.

With my mommy and daddy...

and my brothers and cousins.

And the last 2 days...25th April 2006
(on my birthday again)

After a hectic and stressful day, I went to bed with a smile.
My husband gave me a well-planned and an unexpected birthday surprise!
It was indeed a surprise for me as I didn't know that my hubby can plan a surpirisingly surprise birthday bash for me!
(Gosh! How many times have I used the word surprise??)
But seriously, it was a BIG SURPRISE for me!!

He planned the suprise..dat's 5 times already...party to be at my mom's place since I will be going there after school as to fetch Xaviera home.
What a surprise...and dat's 6...!!!
With Swenson's Ice cream cake, Pizza Hut's pizza, soft drinks and of course my family members...
I stepped into my mom's house and I got shocked!

Before this happens, I got a surprised sms-es from my old friends whom I didn't contact since 3 years ago.
They are my collegues from my previous workplace, Pizza Hut.
I was so shocked that one by one sms me a birthday wish...
when actually I found out that they were the one who make my pizza for my birthday bash and then I remembered that my brother is working there...Dumb me!

And these are what my hubby gave me....

A Slurpee Straw..haha..I wanted it actually.

and A Swatch Watch..I Love It!!!

I enjoyed my birthday and hope to get more surprises in the future.

Can Dear???

2006-04-22T11:21:00.000+08:00

I'M IN THE PAPER YESTERDAY..HAHAHA

Haaaaaaa.....*relief*..at least something.

It's not about me getting an award or robbing someone.. :O

It's about this.....

No, no..I'm not a car seller or a car collector..I'm more to stealing cars..hahaha!

Okay lah, kalau dulu motor ade group design nyer sendiri..
(....in which i'm not guilty of that....)

Introducing...MR Lavita...the name of the group.
Fun people, i should say and they conduct fun activities too.

But it's still the same...

Hardly be seen

Xaviera at 7 month

Before I begin my "Story of the Day"...
my mom called me just now.
They are safe and sound...Alhamdulillah.

My story of the day, what else and who else..
of course it's about my dearie daughter..
Noor Xaviera Diyana.

She's turning 8 month soon..
My, my..time really waits for no man.
But for now she is still 7 month plus.

Her development....

Good..she can already sit steadily without me having to put pillow or something soft at her back just to make sure when she fall backward, she won't hurt her head.

Better still, she can already crawl.

Starts teething. Now, she is a super-massive drooler. See that saliva around her mouth.

She can already distinguish her bantal. See how she reacts to it.

Yah great, she became more mischievous now. She can already pull herself to a standing position by herself without help.

No wonder something I see her mobile senget-senget.

Xaviera now very the active, naughty and noisy!
She babbles alot...
She like to say "ba..ba..ba" rather than "ma..ma..ma"
So it means that if she happens to have adik, her adik will be a boy.

Don't know how true this myth is...

We'll see...but not now..

Not yet lah...

2006-03-22T15:49:00.000+08:00

They are Leaving on a Jet Plane.

Went to the airport yesterday to send both my parents.
They are going to Mekkah to perform Umrah.
I already miss them alot now.
11 more days to go..*sigh* then I get to see them again.

I'm happy for them.
Their wish had come true of wanting to mengejerkan ibaddah over there.

I'm yet to receive a call fom my mommy but till now she hasn't call.
She didn't bring her handphone..I dunno what's her hotel no.
Mommy, Daddy..Please call, I need to know whether you both are alright.

Mommy and me at the airport.

Even Xaviera wants to follow her Atok...

Xaviera is very close to my father.
She cried macam kena pukol gitu when my father say goodbye to her.
Bukan main merajok lagi dia.

Mommy and Daddy..We Miss U Alot!

2006-03-11T08:16:00.000+08:00

Better Be Late Than Nothing At All...

So here I am updating my "so dah basi punye" blog.
Just look at the date at my previous entry.
Been so freaking busy, with assigments, projects, lesson plans etc.

Not long ago, I went to Sakura Int Buffet Restaurant at Downtown East, Pasir Ris.
It's a paradise full of yummy, delectable, mouth-watering FOOD!
All the food are so damn good..

Went there with my whole family including my makcik-makcik, pakcik-pakcik and cousins...

My Family

The other second half of the table...
aunties, uncles and cousins.

See..our table is the longest there.

I've been longing wanting to try to eat fresh oyster and...
there at Sakura, they have it!

This is what I've been craving for.

So the minute I got my seat, I straight away head to the oyster.
The taste...hmmmm try it yourself!
Frankly, it don't really taste that good....macam lendih pekat...
Hahahaha...i'm trying my best to make it sound not so disgusting..
but really, from the look you can know what.

The rest of the food...WOW!! Heaven!!!
Let me list out the food that I ate...
mutton chop..
cheesecake (yup, a real cheesecake!!)..
ice cream...
calamari..
prawn fritters...
shark fin soup..
sushi..
spagetti..
durian puff..
oysters..
black pepper prawn..
and LOTS and LOADS and TONS more...!!!

I really enjoy it..it worth every penny!
Luckily, si makcik kecik tu tidor in the beginning....

Dapat lah jugak, I eat in peace.
In the middle of tengah syok-syok, die bangon...
Die pon sebok nak makan...
I gave her mushroom soup...

Sudu lagi besar dari mulut.

Dah lepas tu....bukan main suka lagi!!

Let me show you some of the food on our table...

Anyone care for an ice cream ~~potong~~ sotong and air udang?

Anyone???

R(A)....5 year old kids

Ok, this happened in school, i mean my workplace.
I gave out worksheet to them and asked them to finish it up.
After they are done, they had to colour the picture.
The theme is on My Family.
So, they had to colour the picture of a family consist of father, mother, brother, sister and a baby.

Annnddd...I don't know why they got so excited with the father's moustache.
His moustache was the center of attraction.
They liked it so much that they colour it first.
1 of my students coloured the moustache red!
I ask her why she had coloured it red. She replied,
"To make it same colour as the lips. So that his lips will look bigger."
I guess that student's father has pouting lips.

I move on to the next scenario.
There is this two boys, sitted side by side, were talking with each other while they colour.
One, N, is talkative and playful and the other one, V, is abit quiet and is a follower.
So, N was talking to V about the father in the picture, as usual he was focusing on the moustache.

This is what N was telling V...

N: My father ahh, he got no moustache here but he got dot-dot (pointing at his mouth area) only. My mother also no moustache (pointing to the mout area) here and got no dot-dot BUT my mother got moustache here (pointing to his cuckoo bird). My father got moustache alot...got here (pointing at that part too) and here (pointing to his armpit).

I went out of the classroom and burst it out...

Kids nowadays have become smarter and smarter...
I wonder how he knew about all these.

2006-01-29T11:10:00.000+08:00

Gong Xi Fa Cai!!!

We had this 'gong xi gong xi' celebration in school.
Most of them dressed up in their traditional clothings.
Whhoooooaaaaaa...
I was squinting my eyes all the way...
with all that glittering...sparkling...dazzling...gleaming...
details on their costume.

We want bling bling...ooppsss..
We want hong bao!!

The fun part was the face painting session...
hahaha..I really have a great time drawing and colouring their faces.
and the children, too, had a great time laughing their heads off at their friends!

I'm proud to say that I was the most creative among other teachers..
*thank you..thank you*
other teacher drew oranges, shapes, dots, mountains (????) on the forehead, animal faces...

unlike me....

He is supposed to be army cum pirate.

Gothic Lolita.
Ok..she's suppose to be gothic but young chn, itchy hand!
Rub the eyes lah...wipe the lips...

Pirates of the Caribbean.

This one I don't know...
I just draw ikot sesuka hati.

This one too.
During the temple trip, all the people there were laughing at him!
Fake sunglasses.

There is more but I got not enough time to take all of them.

Despite all that scolding...punishment...screaming...
My children loves me....

My class only got 7 students, 1 didn't attend that day..

What???!!!!....Easy??????
Yah..ONLY during nap time!!!!!

2006-01-21T16:11:00.000+08:00

My Baby is Growing Up...

Xaviera is beginning to crawl...
but not on all fours..
more like pushing and kicking herself forward..
can say like pre-crawling...if ever there's such a word!

Heyyy..I tell u ahhhh!!!
whenever she sees something terbaring indah atas lantai..
she'll stop, grab the thing and...
PUT IT IN HER MOUTH!!
Dah nakal dahhh..

Most probably, she'll start crawling at 6 month...
hopefully...

Reaching for her pacifier

Okay...made it!

She is a massive drool-er.
She drools a lot!

She leaves her pacifier cos she found something better.

Nilah gaya dia tgh pre-crawling.

She found my I-squeeze!

Ni bukan muka geram tapi muka tgh lapar.
See how she bongkar the wire!

Take Five!
Isi minyak dulu...

And..She continues again where she stops just now!

Xaviera has start on solid food now....
She luuvvvvssss to eat!!!
She is beginning to wean off milk fully...
but..I disallow!!
She needs milk at this stage.
She haven't got any teeth yet!
She needs calcium to grow a healthy and strong set of teeth..
and bones too!

She cry and cry..wanting me to feed her food..
but since i'm a bad mommy...
I sumbat tu botol and paksa dia minum susu!
Sorry dear...

Now. she can adapt to my style...
upon waking up...drinks milk..
next feeding, eat diluted cereal...
milk..milk...milk...
@ ard 5-6pm...diluted porridge or pureed carrot..
and then..all the way...
milk..milk..milk..milk...
till the next morning...

and..Big Thank You to my parents for sticking to this routine...
since they are her daytime caregiver.

2006-01-19T21:22:00.000+08:00

Yummy..No..No..Uwekkk..She Hates It!

She drinks...she uwekkk!!
She drinks again and she uwekk again!!

I guess she's thirsty but nak tak nak kena minum..
Hahaha..I'm such a BAD mommy!
Paksa anak minum air masam.

Not that masam lah (yah, I tried) but don't know why she can't take it.
Wanna know what drink I gave her...
HEINZ Baby's Own Apple Fruit Juice!
It's good what..sekali-sekala minum fruit juice.
Okayyyy I got it...she's not anak mat salleh!

Mommy knows my need!

See how she'll reacts to it!!
Goshhh..I'm not only bad but cruel too!!

I FEEL GOOD..OH, YES I DO!

There is this saying that children are very honest.
Some may agree but others don't.
To my perspective, it depends...
Children are not born as blank slates, you knowww...

But this, I think the children are telling the truth!
Why??
Because it is not base on 1 view but the whole class!
Ohhhh, I Love My Kids!!
Thank you children for making my day...

This thing happens in my class during English lesson...
Theme for the week is 'Myself'
and I was emphasizing on the word 'I am ....'
and comparison between two people.
So I called up a very short, thin boy...
get him to stand beside me and starts comparing...

Me: Arnand is a boy. I am a girl.
Duhhh!! Children looked at me and give me the "as if I don't know" kind of look.
Question no 2.....
Me: I am tall or I am short (reading the question)...Arnand is short, I am tall. Everyone...who is taller?
Class: Teacher Lyn!!
Me: Very good!
Ok...next question....
Me: Move on to question no 3...It says here...I am big or I am small. So between Arnand and myself, who is big and who is small?
Class: Arnand is small, Teacher Lyn is big.
Me: So Arnand must tick at the "I am small" box.
The Last question....
Me: Lastly..I am fat or I am thin...Who is fat here??
Class: Joel!!!
Obviously, he shouted "Teacher Lyn!".
The rest all shout his name and still pointing fingers at him!!
Me: No!!! Between me and Arnand...who is fat and who is thin?
Class: But Joel is the fattest over here!!
Joel: (Being defensive) Nooo!!! I slim down already. I am not fat, right teacher??
One of the chn: Teacher Lyn thin....Joel fat.
Annnndddd....Teacher Lyn gets blushed!!

Whoaaa..Nobody ever commented that I'm thin!
Thank you my children for the motivation.
It really makes me feel good and motivates me to slim down.
Hehehehe

To all my Muslim fellas...
SELAMAT HARI RAYA AIDILADHA!!

Goodbye Papers, Hurlow Children!

Now then I realise that admin work is really not my cup of tea.
Sitting and staring at the computer for 1 whole day is madness!
Never work in the admin line before..but pantat gatal sangat nak try!
Doing the same monotonous thing everyday, makes me feel like a robot that has been programmed to do the same thing over and over again.

My current job now..hmmmm..I like it!
I like the children..the people there except for THIS ONE BLOODY STUPID IDIOT teacher.
In fact, she's the head teacher there.
I HATE HER!! Very bossy!!

Seeing the chikdren's behaviour and actions can make you laugh.

Tell ya a story....

Yesterday, while I was conducting story telling with them, one of my students went to the toilet.
She came back and whisper to my ear...

Student: "Teacher, Sha Lao She (Chinese Teacher) pass urine in the small bowl!"
Me: "What small bowl?"
Student: "The bowl inside our toilet where we urine or pass motion in there"
(Dumb me! I thought the eating bowl. Who knows, she's a foreigner what.)
Me: Speechless!
Students: "Really! I can see her that one..hahahahaha"
Me: Speechless again!

For an experince childcare teacher, you should be able to understand this story.
For those who don't and find this funny story not funny...
let me tell you in detail.

In childcare, the children's toilet is installed with very small toilet bowl.
Just nice for their size and also...their toilet is very open.
Open as in, no door is allowed to be installed in the toilet for safety.
Imagine the public toilet, each cubicle has no door.
And the partition is not long enough to cover the toilet bowl.
so when children are doing their business side by side, they can still see each other.

So just imagine a fully grown adult doing business in there!
OMG!
For your info and to this teacher too, if you happened to blog hop and drop by here, teachers got their own toilet..with doors!
Pffffft!

Splish..Splash...Splish..Splash

Xaviera has break her virgin...
*What are you thinking huh?*
her virgin swim!!
Had her first swim at Sunway Lagoon...
and thank goodness..she enjoys it very much!

Bukan main relax!

Teaching her how to swim...
but buang masa cos she don't eve know how to paddle yet.

I think she's feeling cold already.

This shower looks scary but not to worry, she got protection!

and...a relieve mom and dad..
cos we got to enjoy too!

Goodbye 2005, Hello 2006...
Hopefully, I achieve something in 2006..

My new year resolution...
1) Lose weight...A MUST!!
#2 and so on...haven't even think of it yet...
maybe later..cos I'm sleepy now..
it's late..need to sleep now..
ohhh yaaahhh...
speaking of late...
2) Don't waste time.
3) Be punctual!
ok..now I found my number 2 & 3 and I shall go to bed at ease!

2005-12-20T00:27:00.000+08:00

Laugh..Chuckle..Giggle..Cry and finally, Sleep....

Baby Xaviera has change her style before bed time.
When she's younger, she will cry and cry, buat perangai, before she sleeps.
Kinda stressful during those days.

Now, she's abit loosen up before bed time.
Just leave her alone at her bed and let her play and chuckle all by herself before she'll finally cry for a pat and slumber in dreamland.

Surprisingly, she would entertain herself first unlike those days where she needs me to carry her and make her to sleep in my arms and slowly put her down to bed.
Now, ade sikit-sikit ah..kadang-kadang, part mentel dia..dia nak dokong jugak sampai dia tidur but very seldom ah.
Normally, she would play by herself and then cry for attention and ultimately, she'll sleep.
Senang sikit jaga dia sekarang..maklomlah dia dah besar..dah pandai bawak diri...

Ni lah gaya-gaya dia sebelom tidur...

Tengok tu sampai changing mat pon dia nak tarik

Mentel lah tu!!!

Kecik-kecik dah vain..suka amek gambar

Haaa..sekarang ni tangan dia ada gatal sikit...suka mencapai-capai barang

Dah start ngantok...

and..finally..slumber in dreamland

Entah apa angin lah dekni sebelom tidur ada mood nak ketawa-ketawa..
Selalunya, orang kalau dah dapat bantal dan tilam teros doze off..
tapi si Xaviera ni ada lain sikit.

Sentosa Island....

Island life, love it!
Well, not to impressive though..
Overall rating: 6.5/10
Took the Experience Package 2 plus the top-up option which includes..
*Admission fee
*Merlion tower
*Carlsberg Sky Tower
*Butterfly & Insect Park
*Images of Singapore
*Cinemania
and we also take the chance to experience the new ride that is Sentosa Luge and the Chairlift.

Rating, out 5 stars (* * * * *)
Merlion Tower
Rating: * *
Comment: Boring! Firstly, they'll bring you to watch a short movie and then you proceed on to the top, either to the Merlion's mouth or head, to watch the whole view of Sentosa.

At the entrance of the Merlion Tower

Carlsberg Sky Tower
Rating: * *
Comment: Goes up very high and at the top, it will spin 360 degree. You can see the whole view of Sentosa, again, and also if you are good at locating places/maps, u can even spot our neighbouring countries such as Indonesia and Malaysia.
Kalau tak bagos, jgn main hentam tunjuk island belakang Sentosa and say that is Malaysia.
Overall, to me..It's very memeningkan when it spins.

Butterfly and Insect Park
Rating: *
Comment: I don't like insects so I don't enjoy it very much.

Images of Singapore
Rating: * * *
Comment: The name itself sounds boring but in fact, it is not that bad at all. I love it though and enjoy watching the short vidoe clip on Four Winds Trading Company. As you make your way to the exit, you will discover how Singapore looks like in the olden days and learn the history of Singapore. I hate history but I don't know why the more I read about it, the more I want to know. This is a good way on how history should be taught.

Cinemania
Rating: * * *
Comment: It is a virtual roller coaster. Fun but not thrilling at all, compared to a real roller coaster. For experience sake, it's worth every penny but to try again, I don't think so.

Sentosa Luge
Rating: * * * *
Comment: This one, I enjoy the most!! Similar to a go-cart but this one does not run by engine. It goes down the slope and manoeuvring it is simple, just like a bicycle.

The luge.

To go for a second ride, we have to take the chairlift that will bring us to the top and start again. Tell you, once is never enough!

2005-12-14T13:27:00.000+08:00

Bargain..bargain..good buy!

Last Saturday, I went to Baby's Kingdom at Kaki Bukit...
where all the baby stuffs can be found there in a very low price and can bargain some more.
bought her a walker...outside selling at $99 and there selling for $69.90...
but I bargain and bargain...and got it for $62.

Got Viera to sit in it....

and she likes it!! pheeewww!

Viera is only 4 month and she can already sit in a walker.

See how happy she is...

playing with the toys...

and shoving it backwards...

I stand in front of her...
the more I call her, the more she would kick backwards and further she goes..
she haven't yet know how to go forward.

At this age, her playgym has become a playgym and not a tempat tidur anymore.
If you know what I mean...

She has began to aprreciate the toys that all the while have been hanging in front of her eyes..

Started to kick and grabbing it..

No more...just lie in there...
staring at the toys...
looking at it and as if asking to herself, "Why are you all being hanged?"

2005-12-08T02:02:00.000+08:00

I feel so fat today....
Don't know why but suddenly I feel that I have difficulty in carrying my own weight...
hahahaha...
Ghee! If I have difficulty in carrying my own weight.. would my weighing scale be able to read me??

And yahhh, with all that KFC chicken (yummy!! I Love KFC chicken) that I have been eating for the past two days...I repeat, two days in a row....really makes me feel so bloated.
BIG>>>BIGGER>>>BIGGEST>>>and finally, I will EXPLODE!
Which, thank goodness, I havent yet explode.

No more all that junk food.
Starting from now, I must eat healthy...
eat more greens...
fruits...
deep-fried chicken...burger...cheesy nachos...ice cream....aaaahhhhh!! I can't get all these foods out of my mind!!
But I can kick out the greens and fruits easily....Oh Gosh!! I really need help.

Just look at me....

from this......

to this....

See the difference????

Just to add on...
for your additional info only..
My husband came out in the Berita Minggu...dated 20 November 2005...
I know, it is a berita dah basi but...who cares anyway...

We bought extra copies of newspaper..yup, copIES..and frame the article up.

Anyone wants a copy comes with his autograph on it???
Hahahahahaha

2005-12-07T22:09:00.000+08:00

WORK...WORK...WORK...
and will continue working......
until....
I don't know when....
maybe till I've become a millionaire...
then I shall not continue working anymore!!
Duduk rumah, goyang kaki...hahahaha

Suasana di dalam office..tengok tu my desk..serak giler!!

Me with my colleagues.

Another pose.

This is the amount of work I must finish by the end of the day.

I really need to enroll myself in a Time Management class...
Because I've been spending most of the time working and I realise that I had NO time for my family and especially, my house...
since I got no maid...no offence to those who got one...
My house now dah macam tongkang pecah!!

Leaves house at 7am, reach home at 8.30pm...
plus all that sending and fetching my daugther, to and from my parent's house.

And now I'm under-going a night class...
to upgrade myself...
tulah..dulu mak suroh belajar betol-betol...main-main!!
dah tua-tua gini, baru nak realise yang pelajaran tu penting!

2005-11-18T16:38:00.000+08:00

Xaviera is now 3 month plus, going to be 4 month soon...
Every month, I will monitor her development,
just to make sure she's developing normally.
Hehehehe, kiasu me!
I will start surfing the net to find out on baby's monthly development.

Checklist on the 3rd Month...

Most babies should be able to . . .
Hold up head at 45 degree angle while on stomach
Hold head steady when upright
Laugh and smile
Recognize your face
Open and shut hands
Kick legs

Some babies will probably be able to . . .
Recognize your voice
Hold up head at 90 degree angle while on stomach
Bring both hands together
Squeal and coo in delight
Do small mini pushups

Some babies could possibly be able to . . .
Bear weight on both legs
Bat at toys
Reach for toys and objects
Roll over
Turn to familiar voices
Make a razzing sound

Yup...she can do all that above...
and plus all the month 4 development..
like holding on to rattles...
that explains why she has a bantal busuk already...
she will grasp her bantal and put it inside her mouth...
licking it like an ice cream..
eventually, she will regurgitate on it making it smells.
when she's sleepy, she would take her bantal and rub it on her eyes..
that way I know she's sleepy.

I was so surprised of her rapid changes and development.
Nanti..dah besar, belajar betol-betol ok...
Saper tau, Viera leh teros masok University lepas o level..
hahaha...

Before I go I would like to share something...

Check out Viera's Latest Hairstyle....

She is now BOTAK!
Hairstylist: My mon and dad.

Cool huh! hahahaha

Viera had just turn 3 month yesterday.
And yesterday...I send her for the DPT jab.
Alah injection yang boleh mendemamkan tu.
And yaaahhh..she got fever!

So kecian sey.
She's very weak, cranky and moody.
And her makcik2 side dah gone.
Hahaha...
You know...my husband call Viera makcik
Wanna know why....
With her gold ear stud and when u talk to her, she would coo back...
melawan gitu..dah macam makcik2 kepoh yg berlagak dengan barang kemas nyer!
Alaaahhh..makcik-makcik yang digelar kedai emas bergerak tuuu...

Ok-ok, back to her sakit story.
She is so weak that she loses appetite to drink her milk.
She only drink 2 oz!
Normally, she would gobble down 4~5 oz of milk.
I felt so sad to see her in that very weak condition.
Ape nak buat Viera, injection tu penting....

Tengok lah dier tuuu...kesian kan...
Kenalah dia pakai "koyok" kat dahi...

2005-10-16T10:07:00.000+08:00

"Better yet, baby's already talking back with a variety of sweetly pitched coos.
But when baby isn't calm and cooing, she might be fussy.
Ah, the mixed blessings of a 2-month-old!"
-From the Editors of Your Baby Today-

That is so true!
My dear Viera now is very cranky, fussy and at the same time likes to laugh.

Another, 1 week + and she's 3 month already...
Get ready for an injection yg boleh men-demamkan.

Hopefully, nothing happen lah.
Very hard to take care of a sick baby...
Nanti tertido pat kerja lagi nampaknya....
hehehehe...

Dear Viera,
I don't blame you for all that fussiness and cranky-ness...
It's all part of growing up.
Luv you alot....

2005-10-15T23:58:00.000+08:00

So many new things I've done, encounter.....

Tuesday.....
Xaviera was circumcised..(did I spell it correctly? senang kata sunat lah)
and tindik telinga (ear piercing).
Both were done in the same day, same clinic, same doc..back to back...
Waaahhh, I tell you...SHE SCREAM MACAM ANAK TEKAK NEK TERKELUAR GITU!

So sorry dear baby....
Sunat is a must...
Tindik? Maklomlah hari raya nak dekat..
Mommy wants to make you look like Mami Jarum..

On the same day, my husband went for a day surgery...
Excision of neck lipoma.
Recovering and doing well now.
Syukur alhamdulillah....

Got 2 patients to take care of now...

Wednesday...
I was a nurse yesterday, nursing my 2 patients.
Can't get enough sleep.
Went to work in a very sloppy way..
Sekali, I tertido while doing my werk...
I was caught sleeping!
What a day.....

Friday.....
I was late for work!
Overslept...
Nak tanak, since my husband tak kerja..
hospitalisation leave...
I RODE HIS BIKE TO WORK!
Seram sey...almost a year I've not been riding eversince I'm pregnant.
Nak suruh dia hantar like very kesian, he just had an operation..
Tengah sakit-sakit lagi and lepas tu, nak kena patah balik rumah after sending me.
My work place kalau dekat takpe...

hahaha...I'm back to riding bike now...
dah tak takot lagi!

Saturday....
Naik moto lagi.
Macam dah sedap gitu!

2005-10-09T15:27:00.000+08:00

Dah lama blog aku ni tak kene update.
Maklomlah dah start kerja.
Very busy with work, anak....

Juggling so many things at 1 time isn't an easy job...
Hehehe, baru tau...

All the while, I've been taking care of Viera fully.
So now, since I've start werk..has to send Viera over to my parents house...
They babysit her for me...They really make my life easier...
Every minute and every second, while in work, I would think of Viera.
Rindu sey!
Sometimes, I felt like crying when I carry her early in the morning and left her at my parents house.

Yup, and again..I bought Viera a book.
Very kiasu me..want to stuff everything in when she's just 2 month.
This 1 is better, she really loves it very much!

Babies like black, white and red.

Black, white and red encourages development in:
- Visual Development
- Auditory Development
- Motor Development

Good ah...
Starting from now, Viera's nursery is going to be filled with Black, White and Red!
Wah lau..so boring!

The Story of Noor Xaviera Diyana

Having Xaviera really changes my life drastically.

No more good night sleep...
The patience and endurance when she cries non-stop...
All these are common factors in having a baby.
Although sometime it may be hard, I thank Allah for blessing me with a beautiful, radiant and most importantly, healthy and normal baby.

Speaking about crying....
I never did expected such things could happen to me.
Never did I thought about it...Nak dengar cerita...??

It's normal for a baby to cry.
They have to cry.
It is their only means of communication.
Crying is the cue if they are hungry, sleepy, bored, lonely, scared, seeking attention, too hot or too cold..etc etc...

The story begins.....

I was alone with Xaviera at home. Biasalah, suami kerja.
On this very day, she's abit cranky..cry, rest sekejap, sambong lagi nangis..nak dokong jer, if I put her down, she'll cry macam orang pukol dia gitu!
Nak cakap lapar, I've just feed her.
All she wants is me to carry her around.
Fine, if that makes her stop crying then I'll just carry her.
Tak boleh buat kerja rumah langsong, tangan dah kena occupied.

Sekali...BIG nature call!
Nak membuang air besar!
Wah, problem BESAR ni...
So, I tried to put her down...sekali dia nangis!
Nak tanak, terpaksa bawak dia sekali dalam toilet.
Tengah memprocess tu, agaknya Viera terhidu aroma yg 'wangi'..
Tiba-tiba, maybe wire dia trip, dia ketawa-ketawa, ajak gurau!
Terpaksa lah, sambil menyelam minum air..sambil 'tu', sambil bergurau dengan dia.

To all mummy-to-be, be prepared for this...
There'll be more unexpected surprises!

2005-10-01T22:01:00.000+08:00

I watched movie with my husband.
Not at cinema but at home.
Tengok VCD, cerita GGPP (Gila-gila Pengantin Popular)
The show is good and very funny!
And did I tell you that I like Saiful Apek....
Hahahaha..yah, i do..he's very funny lah
Recommended to those who like funny malay movie.

And then we went out..dengan kereta baru!
Tak bau kedai sangat becos kereta tu dah 2 bulan.
Kereta keluar a week before Viera was born.
Nak tengok????
Cantik tau..baru buat the body kit etc etc...

Tak nampak sangat ar..maklomlah gambar kecik.

Posing sebelah kereta.

Kereta ni ada gaya, mutu dan keunggulan..

Bragging??
Haha..dah tentulah..
Kereta selawah ni kalau tak eksyen kat orang rugi tau..
Hehehehe..jangan marah! Hehehehe

2005-09-29T23:40:00.000+08:00

We went shopping today!
Not for me but for Viera.
She may be tiny but she's expensive!

Viera's Shopping List, each month.

1) Diapers .......... $15 x 3 packs = $45
(we always buy Pampers at JB, cheaper. 1 pack = 66 disposables)
(Pampers won't easily get wet. It really absorbs her wettings.)

2) Formula Milk .... $30 x 3 tins = $90

(Viera drinks Enfalac* A+, the most expensive milk)
(If she drinks other brand, every feed she will 'berak'. People say it's not good for the baby)

3) Baby Wipes ........ $ 5 x 2 packs = $10

(I love Avent and Anakku brand. They are thick, soft and smells nice)

4) Nappy Protection Cream ...... $10.90

(Bought at Mothercare. I don't use talc powder as my mom says that girls are prone to get cervix cancer if powder is apply to that thing.)
(Don't know whether it's true or not but prevention is better than cure)
(So far so good, no nappy rash yet)

5) Baby Shampoo and Bath Soap ..... $ 14.00 / 2 = $7.00
(I love the Tollyjoy brand. Smells very nice! These 2 bottles can last for 2 months)

6) Bottle Liquid Cleaser ...... $18.90

(I don't use normal washing detergent as I'm scared that certain chemical might harm her.)
(The bottle liquid cleanser is safe for baby.)

Total Cost : $192.80++ (this amount does not include other small-small items)

I really love to shop for her things.
Normally, I would go shopping with my husband, only the 2 of us.
But now, not anymore.
It's fun bringing her along.
Whenever we go 'jalan-jalan', she will always sleep!

Kat rumah tak nak tidur, kat luar nak pulak.
But jgn sampai dia nangis nak susu..satu shopping centre boleh dengar.
Kalang-kabut di buatnyer!
Mana nak pujuk dia...kacau susu dia...
Bila dia dah start suara dia, bukan main banyak peminat tengok dia!
Pressure...!

Happy 2 month Birthday, Xaviera!
This very day, 2 month ago, at 12.12am, Noor Xaviera Diyana was born.
Gosh, time really flies very fast!

I still remember the day Viera sees the world.
The pain and agony, yet very excited..sudenly all my feelings got mixed up.

Her first cry was the best moment in my life.
Her first cry makes me cry too!
Until a nurse came with a thick stack of tissue paper (setebal sponge cuci pinggan magkok!) to wipe my tears.
Bahasa nampak! Tak jadi nak nangis lagi..terasa sey!

Kat Delivery Suite pon sempat amek gambar!

Every mummy wants to give the best to their children.
Same goes for me and I really spoil her too much..with all that cutesy dresses.
I read this article on '50 Simple Ways To Make your Baby Smarter'.
Very interesting and useful.
To all mummy and mummy-to-be..check out this website:
http://www.parents.com/articles/ages_and_stages/3288.jsp

When Viera's confinement period was over (that 40 days of misery), she began to coo and make the "aaahhhh" sound.
When I realise that she bagan to be more focus on something, I straight away head to popular bookstore to buy baby books.
The first week was a disaster!
Whenever I began to read her a book, she began to cry!
Nampak sangat pemalas nak baca buku!

Book that I bought for her.

The following week, she began to focus on the book and respond to it.
She would go "aaaahhhh", "ooooohhh" and really stare at the book.
It was a success.
So from that day onwards, everyday before her bedtime, I would read her a book and eventually she'll sleep by herself.

So mummy, dun ever give up on your children.
They may seem small but they are smart.

2005-09-26T17:31:00.000+08:00

My body is aching!!
Im sleepy and exhausted.
I just had my daughter's 'cukur rambut' ceremony yesterday.
The whole thing run as planned and overall, I'm happy with it.

I would like to thank my..
1) family
2) in-laws
3) makciks (yg dah susah payah contribute side-dishes)

and

A Thousands Thank You To Those Who Attended The Ceremony.
You people make the ceremony merrier.
