Vision in Life, Live for Vision

Hubby gave me a question some days ago and I never expected it to be so hard. I could not find an answer until now!

Here it goes... I grant you 15 wishes from now on. I will try to fulfill them in my entire life and this is my devotion to you as a husband and soul mate. What would they be...?

I did not answer at once. After a deep thought for a night, I could not think of any. Does this mean I am already contented or ... too much in my mind that I wanna do and have...?

*Think think*

GGC'S LATEST OBSESSION - PART III


GGC knows who Baby Bop is. And through this 3 year old Baby Bop, GGC learns the full action of the Itsy Bitsy Spider. It is always depending on her mood, when she wants to do it.

GGC's brain is like her unlimited SD Card. She keeps everything in her SD Card and I am waiting for the time she opens her files. It must be fun for all of us (despite all the 'gik sei yan' tricks). Lolz~~~

GGC'S LATEST OBSESSION - PART II


This song is too great! It teaches GGC where are her knees and hips and shoulders. She tries clapping her hands faster as she catches up the rhythm of the song, it may be a little to fast for her. Her clapping does not jive though, she enjoys the song so much as in clapping her hands together with the crowd in the show.

Our home is only hubby, GGC and myself. Definitely we cannot give her such a fun environment to sing and dance. But I will try to sing and dance with her every time Barney is on the show. I do not mind to look silly in front of my girl. Lolz~~~

GGC'S LATEST OBSESSION - PART I


GGC has been so obsessed with this purple dinosaur lately. But I know she is actually watching the kids than Barney. She has not got the right pronunciation of 'Barney' yet, she will pronounce 'Ney' and 'Ney Ney Ney' all the way until I switch on the show for her. The moment she hears the Barney's song, she will go mad a little by dancing and clapping her hands, excitedly!

Growing Song is one of her favourite songs and the only action she knows is, putting her palms on her cheek when the lyrics go, 'We're growing when we're sleeping...' She is a fast learner :)

Although I do not fancy Barney, I will watch it with her, whenever she wants to :)

ANOTHER PERFECTO DAY - A CLOUDY SUNDAY HERE

I get to enjoy me time again and do some stuff here and there at my prefered momentum... :)

No laundry, very light cooking and dish washing this morning. Yay!

I am done now and enjoying my day starter - coffee!

I love this cuppa a lot! It comes in a set of 2 for gentleman and lady.
Bought from McCafe, Bangkok a few years back :)

P/S: *Finger crossed* Big & Small Baby, please wake up at 9am, at least...

I AM A HAPPIER PERSON TODAY

I am extremely happy today! Today's timing is just too perfect to start off my Saturday!

6.00am
Wake up.

6.15am
Do up myself.
Load in laundry.
Start preparing breakfast - this morning we are going to have pancake in fruit yogurt.

In between
Finish with the dishes washing while waiting for the pancake on the fry pan to ready.
Finish preparing fruit yogurt.

7.30am
Pancake is ready for photo shoot :)
Finish the remaining dishes washing.
Finish cleaning up the kitchen.

8.00am
Laundry is ready.

8.20am
Load in another batch of laundry.
Relaxing while waiting for the big and small baby to wake up and head to the wet market.

This may happen everyday to some of you but it does not happen to me at all time. Some time I feel frustrated on weekends, where things are not ready and the small baby is up and clings to me like a koala and tree. Some time I blame it on myself too for not planning ahead for the weekends since I have already knew that days will be busier. Just too tired to wake up earlier.

Again a little enlightenment from the Above, if I live my days in content (充實), possibly happiness and satisfaction overcome tiredness and frustration. Today, I live the testimony! I thank Lord for the direction for me to move forward in hope and courage.

P/S: What is more to add onto my happiness today? My mini oven is here and ready for collection at my in-law's! Yay!!!

Today is just too PERFECT!

IS IT GOOD TO TIE A TODDLER'S HAIR?


My hub and I once read an online article on tying toddler's hair. It says that, tying up toddler's hair (I guess should be on a long term basis and tight enough) will affect the development of the scalp and hair quality. The studies further elaborated to - the pulling effect when tying hair adds stress to the hair to holding on to the scalp and the tightness of the hair band spoils the strand of hair. There is no reference made in the article, I am wondering if this is true...

Nanny has to tie her hair because of the hot weather that makes her sweat a lot and her hair sticks to her face and neck and makes her uncomfortable. I am okay with nanny tying her hair, so long not everyday and not so tight :)

She looks cute with her tails up :)

MEMORY CARD

 
I guess GGC has started building her memory card in her little brain. When she sees this photo, she smiles and says, 'nen nen'. It has been almost 7 months since her last direct latch on. I am not sure if she misses breastfeeding but I definitely miss the bonding time we have.

GGC started weaning off when she was 10 months old. I am not too sure it was a feeding strike or weaning off, she just refused direct latch and drank lesser than usual. Whenever I offered her direct latch, she would shake her head and turn away. It happened naturally, lesser direct latch, lesser pump and eventually stopped pump and weaned off entirely.

This photo was taken on her 1st birthday celebration at The Nook's Cafe, The Loft, KL Sentral. I posted it up on The Breastfeeding Advocates Network (TBAN) as a little encouragement to other breastfeeding mothers out there. Being a breastfeeding mother is never an easy job. Being a breastfeeding advocate on top on daily work task is even more challenging. Home visits and replying messages on Whatsapp are killing me! At the moment, I only do for my friends, not expanding to the public yet. I really cannot imagine how I could cope with the loads once I do it publicly. No regrets thou... I still enjoy being a breastfeeding advocate. 大愛精神萬歲!

WEFIE OVERLOAD











THE SKY IS NOT ALWAYS BRIGHT

Cranky GGC
GGC is crying for no reason :(
This weekend is the longest ever (Friday to Sunday), nanny was on annual leave last Friday.

Taking care of GGC is equivalent to cardio exercise for hours/day. Heart beat fastened by x times, watching her out climbing on sofa, standing on bed, jumping and running all around and stuff like that...

Nanny is always telling me that she is a good girl, always an obedient girl, always a cheeky girl. Most of the time I cannot visualise and feel what nanny describes, GGC is a super manja baby when she is at home with us. She cries over little things and sometimes with no reason, she goes 'ngek ngek ngek'.

This weekend is even worse, she is down with flu on Friday and cough packaged in on Sat. She is even more manja and cries a lot, a lot... I guess more than 50x a day! Myself is down with sore throat, flu, cough and heaty body since last Tuesday and still going... GGC must have got her sickness from me! Sorry, babe... And I am finally down with fever, I am off today, on sick leave... :(

GGC has constipation issue since she started solid at 6m1w old. Apple and sweet potato are the BIG NO NO in her diet! Her constipation issue is still an on-off headache for me. And she constipates this weekend. Argh... Everything comes at a go! Luckily, later in the evening, she releases one big hard stool after we feed her some dragon fruits (She cries out loud as if being slaughtered. LOL~~~). She is so so happy after her bath, running around doing monkey jumps and laughs out loud. I guess she feels less bloated and more comfortable after the release. Hubby says her tummy goes down by a size after the release. LOL~~~

No milk before sleep for her, she has her late dinner at 8pm! Blame it on the evening nap after the swim. Good night, GGC...

P/S: Yet, I say thanks to God for His protection over GGC. If I recall, this is the second time she falls sick. The first was during 2014 Chinese New Year, when we were away for HKG trip and left her with my in-law. She was +/- 12m3w old. She grows healthily :)

I AM BACK AFTER ~ 19 MONTHS

I have been hoping so much to be back to a life of blogger. I miss those days when I wrote almost everyday, wrote about almost everything that I saw and experienced, wrote about every incident that happened on me and so on... Indeed, the most valueable topic that I missed out in the entire 2012 was my pregnancy journey and 2013 was my rocking days coping with my newborn, breastfeeding, her growth, her development...

It has been 19 months since my last update and that marks the age of my beautiful daughter, who is coming to 19 months old this coming 14th. Motherhood is never easy, what makes it more difficult - stressful days in working life. Hallelujah, I survived it! Praise the Lord!

I have been reminding myself all the while, to give thanks everyday, to at least one thing that happens to me, be it good or bad. Today's thanksgiving would definitely go to the bunch of ex-colleagues that made their precious time for the dinner cum gathering. I cherish every moment spent as we do not get to gather as and when we like to. We used to gather once or twice a year during Chinese New Year or Christmas and once a while we planned for a short getaway trip. I miss the happy times we had in our Hatyai trip. For that, we have decided to meet up more frequently and we have just set up a mission to plan for a short getawat trip again, within this year, maybe to Port Dickson. Yay!

Guess what... My daughter was still awake when I got home at 10pm+. Her usual sleep time is around 9pm to 930pm. She needs me to sleep. Hmmm... *sweet*

A LITTLE BIT LATER

I was exposed to music a little bit later than others, I guess.  My first experience switching on a radio should be when I was 6 or 7, if I'm not mistaken.  It could be caused by my over controlling mum, disallowed her children to touch on any electrical appliances or it could be some other things that attracted me more than music, TV most probably.

Listening to radio at that point of time was a big thing to me, us.  My family isn't a rich one, we couldn't afford anything like a laser disc player or anything like that.  All we have at home was a simple tuner radio that received frequency via an antenna.  It didn't have a CD/DVD player, of course.  The best part of the radio was its cassette player with recorder.  My sister and I used to record series on air or our own voices for fun.  As if it was so much fun, indeed, it was, at that point of time...

Don't talk about nursery rhymes (Well, I learned nursery rhymes when I was in S1 and I'm not bluffing you).  Music to the family was just something unimportant or I'd define as non-existence.  None of us was encouraged to music, not even for entertainment.  Radio was just a medium to listen to news and series.

The first pop song that I listened to was Right Here Waiting by Richard Marx.  Sister bought a cassette home, I guess it was her first cassette ever too, The Mega Hits 1989.  The moment I heard the piano intro, I was drown in the Pacific Ocean, it seemed.  I was so fascinated over the song.  When I heard his voice, gosh...  I loved this guy!  Imagine, a little girl at age 8, was in love with Richard Marx!!!  Do you know how attractive and sexy a guy need to be to get a little girl to fall in love with him?!  Start to think about it now, you'll get to know how great was Richard Marx.

In the month of music, I'd like to bring all of you to the music wonderland when I was small.  Let's have a look at what I used to listen to.  Hope all of you enjoy the rundown.

一日一BLOG 之周末行程

原本想去探訪長腿妹妹一家,但她和她爸爸生病了,現在還在 kena quarantine!

結果 plan 了別的節目。。。

周末,老公都會睡到大概 10.00am 或 11.00am 這時間。就讓他睡吧。自己不能睡,最好別打擾他的睡眠。

等他醒來過後,就去吃份想吃的早餐。暫時還沒想到想吃什麽。現在在喝著麥片飲品。

早餐之後,要扮靚靚了。Pedicure 時間!好像很久沒做 pedicure 了。指甲都長多了。。。這次要選個亮麗的顔色。。。

扮靚之後,想要去Paradigm Mall @ Kelana Jaya。我不知道有什麽特別的,只是看到很多 (真的很多人 post 上 FB 什麽什麽吃的照片)。它的建築結構還蠻特別的。很想去嘞。。。

但。。。最終還是要看心情啦。我怕到那時間,我已經感到累了。。。

Pray pray pray, 我的行程可達到。

一日一BLOG 之戀上你的廁所



每個人都有他比較喜歡上的廁所,無論是洗手間或者廁所格。
有些人無論要走多遠都要走去他要去的那一間,快來不及了,還是要去那一間。
有些比較執著的,死死都要那一間,指定的那一格。
我會列我自己為執著的那隊。

在公司,沒選擇,只有一間洗手間。
但,我會有我指定要去的那一間。
如果有人,又會堅持地等她出來。
如果道她是在做大生意,我會選擇先離開,等一下再回來。
如果真的等不及了,沒辦法啦。。。
隔壁吧。。。
(無論有多急,還是需要等一下才可放,分別就在這裡)。

在商場,尤其比較有去的那幾間,我是那種無論要走多遠都要走去我要去的那一間。
所以我不會等到來不及的那一刻才去找廁所  :p
上策吧!!!

失敬失敬  ^.^V

說真的,我不敢。

是的,我選擇逃避。


徐佳瑩 - 你敢不敢

作詞:徐佳瑩
作曲:徐佳瑩
監製:陳建騏

你的電話 我還是接了
你約見面 我還是去了
你傳的晚安 我照常回了
這樣夠嗎 夠嗎

讓自己忙碌 證明還活著
讓朋友陪我 都不好意思了
我說不愛你 你也就相信了
這樣好嗎 好嗎

你敢不敢
承認我愛上你的壞
你敢不敢
說恨我 像愛我一樣 發自內心的堅決
你敢不敢 愛一個人 如此卑微
你敢不敢
無視我止不住的眼淚
你敢不敢
說這段 感情的不堪 全都是我的不對
你敢不敢 愛錯了人卻不想面對

BIRTHDAY TREAT FOR MYSELF


Yup, a birthday treat for myself is a new haircut!

Have been arranging a new haircut for weeks!  Gosh...  Imagine the powerful morning sickness that caused my schedule turned upside down!

This is a new try at a new hair salon in PJ by a new hair stylist.  He is a detailed stylist, informative, hands-on but slow in action.  Hahaha...

Can't be blaming him, he's the only senior stylist in the hair salon and every walk-in was looking for him.  Mine took about an hour in total while Wendy's took about 5 1/2 hrs, only hair cut, colour and treatment.  I've fallen asleep for a few times...  Geng!!!

I am quite satisfied with the new style.  His professionalism only charged at RM78 - reasonable...

厲害的林夕,令我很無奈

陳奕迅 - 然後怎樣

然後怎樣
作詞:林夕
作曲:曲世聪
演唱:陳奕迅

完成了所謂的理想
放縱了情緒的氾濫
汗都流乾 天都微亮
然後怎樣

擁有了旅行的空檔
卻遺失流浪的背囊
沿著軌道 一直瀏覽
然後怎樣

假期過完有什麼打算
走過一個天堂少一個方向
誰在催我成長
讓我失去迷途的膽量

我怕誰失望 我為誰而忙
我最初只貪玩 為何變負擔
為何我的問題
總得等待別人的答案

我的快樂時代唱爛
才領悟代價多高昂
不能滿足 不敢停站
然後怎樣
