Where did the 10 years go ????

It seemed like it just slipped by when I least expected it

10 years ago we took the vow to live as ONE in good times & bad and I’m proudly announcing that we are still living up to our vow,  … understanding…compromising…appreciating… respecting & loving each other more & more

Before the day finally came, I had silly fantacy on how I had wanted to celebrate this “supposing-to be-very-important-occassion”

But nah …. December is really really NOT the time for any critical planning/thinking. It is suppose to be a crucial month as far as my nature of job is concern, yet I still have countless social events to attend to (parties, gathering, lunch, night outs, bakings, cookings) …. boy, why was I so greedy when I only have 2 hands & a brain. It kinda stresses my brain unnecessarily. Furthermore, I’ll be away from work for a 8 days vacation. Perhaps I should not have chosen December for traveling. Yet i like it when time passes by quickly, such a conflicting girl heh :(

And my blog was so so so neglected

We kept our celebration very very humble this time. Chucked the kids to mom, we applied approval from my babysitter for a quiet dinner, just the 2 of us. No gifts & not even a card, that’s just so NOT me!! All i wanted to is to go for a meal that we usually would not opt for, now with a little troublesome baobei around for sure. And what instantly came to my mind is BBQ steamboat…. the Korean sytle would be good :D I had not been able to enjoy a peaceful bbq & steamboat for as long as i remember. Just can’t imagine toddling a young monster for steamboat, can you??

On the day after work, the hubs came over to my office & we hopped over to the nearest mall, Pavilion. Walked around & huby bumped into this japanese shabu-shabu restaurant. Didn’t want to waste time, we just settled in. Nothing to shout about considering my fussy pot’s high standard when it comes to FOOD. Not a place to be back but it was OK, a quiet moment to do some reflections on the 10 years of walk together would be the quality we appreciated.

That pretty much sumed up the day (15 Dec 2011) we celebrated our 10 years of marriage.

A lot of people commented how lucky I was to be able to still travel around despite having 3 kids at home. Yes I embraced that with much blessing. But it was either the hubs had his own vacation with his gang of lou yeh or me having my silais trips. We had NEVER went on a trip just the 2 of us leaving behind the kids. It was just a thing that my mom would not approved of (my tiger mom just had her own very different opinion on this). When she refused to babysit for us, what other option do we have? NIL. But this time, I was adamant to make a change. The big excuse that i gave her was my 10 years marriage *blek* …. time for a good celebration. She eventually gave us the approval (considering i submitted my application since the beginning of the year, ok) but it came with tinch of sourish & charcoal face lah, well ….nothing comes easy dealing with our old folks right so that was pretty tolerable :D

So to make up for the humble meal we had to mark this auspicious occasion, we’ll be traveling (just the 2 of us)…honeymooning & celebrating our WHITE Christmas this year !!!

Till you hear from me again, bye for now!

Merry Christmas & An early Happy New Year 2012 to all

This date is gonna be a valuable one in our family’s memory book for a long long time. Lots & lots of mention about the date in Facebook that made me couldn’t stop thinking how auspicious the date was despite me trying to brush it aside as I was half working in the office that day, LOL!! Shit…who ask me to log on to FB in the first place??

Anyway the boys had school on Friday so I arranged a dinner, just the 5 of us at Brussels Cafe a newly discovered restaurant which my family gonna love returning in the future. We went to the JayaOne branch. The main reason why it’s becoming our fav restaurant is bcoz the elder boys love …. a couple of their dishes….a lot !! Check it out…

lousy blogger post lousy photos, sorry too lazy to lug the dslr

photos of iphone quality *blek*

RECOMMENDED dishes

1) ROAST PORK … trust me, super yummy (even my old fussy pot acknowledged)

2 ) LONG FOOT SAUSAGES …. tell me which kids don’t love these ??

3) Bacon strips …. very fragrant & good for chewing while sipping your German beer

4) Bacon Carbonara spaghetti

5) Chunky fries …. highly recommended, i’m not a fries person myself but i couldn’t stop eating this!! it’s slightly crispy on the outside yet very soft inside

Brussels’ spaghetti ….with seafood & aubergines, quite good also.

sorry these are NOT NICE

Scot requested for beef & this is baby ribs (i think).But he abandoned this after trying to bite 1 piece…. sorry lah

mushroom soup is either very nice or otherwise …. and this is just sorry coz i think they don’t put enough salt, too bland. comparing to TGIF…this surely ‘kalah’ badly !!

daddy cheers with the boys

this was what I got when I requested for a decent photo from them

the charming boy enjoying our companion very much

 I was just trying my luck when I told the friendly waitress it was the twins’ birthday & asked if there’s any free cake for them…. aiyo so thick skin hor?? She smiled & nodded ….. after about 10mins, she walked out of the kitchen with a plate of nicely decorated brownies with ice-cream & strawberries. Then a few other macho guys followed her back & stand beside our table preparing to render the birthday song. I quickly grabbed my iphone & locate the video cam function….guess i was just kan-cheong, i couldn’t managed the button properly & only managed to record the last minute of the song, lol

The boys were kinda shy here …. lol

But still managed to get them to pose for my memory

i just can’t believe the brownies tasted so good too … i know it just sounded so unbelievable (as if i was paid for all the compliments) but these were extremely soft & moist. Too bad our tummies were already very full by then, can’t really enjoy it !!

 We had a very satisfying dinner on 11.11.11

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

We also threw a bowling party for them on 30th Oct, invited some of their schoolmates & cousins. Actually last year we also had bowling party at Sunway Bowl but this year we tried Mid Valley Cosmic Bowl. Eventhough Cosmic bowl’s had the GLOW IN THE DARK session which was like disco bowling & should be more fun, i still prefer Sunway. Cosmic bowl is a bit run down, service quite good though …. sorry that i have to say that !!

The lights will be switched off sharp at 2pm & the disco bowling will commence….

All I want is just some fun for the boys & surely they had.

Some photos for sharing

Decided on La Manila cake at the very last minute … coz it’s just opposite cosmic bowl very convenient. But it was a right decision coz the banana choc cake was superbly delicious, heaven!!

A group photo for their memory book !!

May God bless you 2 with lots of strength & grace to grow up healthily & be good man !! Amen

Made some cuppies for the boys to share with few of their buddies in school on their birthday

I had been eyeing  for sometime on those colors of various rainbow cakes i’d came across lately. I know those colors aren’t doing any good to my already hyper boys, but that aside i know this rainbow thingy would surely be eye-catchy to the kids!! And that’s my goal when preparing stuffs for the kiddos!

And just when I was all ready to color them, i realised i ran out of blue …. awww, i can’t see my blue color I did tried to mix green & yellow to achieve that but nah…it doesn’t happened. So these are all i have!! Time to visit the bakery store one day ….

I just adopt a simple butter cake recipe & color them as appropriate

Here is the result ….taste wise OK though look was not as I desired & it does look a bit like the chinese “fart kou” too!! But what can I say for a first time, it’ll get better the next time

I’ve got some edible image print of Angry bird from the bakery lately….that’s one sure way of making sure yr baking & decoration turns out a success!!

So before placing the edible image print, i’ll need some icing to go on top of the cuppies. And again, I had to battle between using whipping cream icing or buttercream icing ???? It’s always a head banging session to me. Anyway, I finally decided on whipped cream just bcoz it goes beneath the image print so that sort of lower the risk of failure. And my box of left over whipping cream in the fridge which is near its’ expiry date convinced me that I should just use it up!

Let me tell you….I’m so so so happy with the outcome this time …. YIPPEE

I reckon the success this time has a lot to do with the type of whipped cream used, this is non-dairy type  and it was my first time trying Mauri brand. Also I believe the brand made a different too, I got this from Jadi bakery store. The packaging mentioned about being a HIGHLY SHELF STABLE stuff …. guess it tells something, huh????

 I added some icing sugar on the liquid before starting to whip it. And boy…. were they so creamy, smooth & most importantly it holds much much more better this time around !! Im feeling much more confident dealing with whipped cream now

….. tadaa …..

I just made 6 cuppies for each boy & told the boys they just had to share with their good buddies coz their mom could not accommodate to 50 students as Sean & Scot are in different class!!

There’s a lot of room for improvement for sure but i guess i deserve to be forgiven as I had to work this thru the midnight hours …. as usual being a mom, no ???

Have a good week ahead folks !!

I think i’m having too many passions in life that I realised i couldn’t cope at times

And the scarriest part is, they came & gone …. then came back & gone very often too, lol

Anyway, the baking bugs bite again!

The baking bugs were flying HIGH about 1-2 months back when my 3rd sister was still into her 4th maternity month, which was also her final one.  So before she resumes work, she wanted to fulfill her dream of baking her favourite cake i.e. BLACKFOREST cake from scratch. It has always been her interest to do baking but being a cabin staff, she hardly had enough free time to bake at home given she’s also a mother of an active boy! And she came to me to kick-off her project coz i had all the baking tools

I had to WARN my sister that I’m NOT GOOD with blackforest cake. I had a heart attack moment with my very first  blackforest baking experience. So on this project, we relied purely on recipes i found from the internet. While the cake was fine, it somehow doesn’t hold good when i halved it…….. bleah And my sis insisted we don’t need the Maraschino cherry for decoration as we don’t like it. But I must say without the red, it’s just plain ugly

Not a good looking one

Sis was not satisfied with the outcome of her 1st baking project. Since we still have lots of ingredients leftover, she went for a 2nd round

This time around, we used another recipe (it shd be Florence from HK if i’m not mistaken) & we were definitely getting better …. a lot more

cake texture, icing, shaved chocolate, decoration ….overall improvement!!

She was very very happy, haha

Darn proud of her masterpiece, lol

Since the blackforest saga started, Ihad also fallen in love with blackforest cake. In fact, of late I notice I love spongecake with light weight cream icing…..very much, just like blackforest cake. Very typical n classic yet they are one of the best to me. Hence, I’d wanted to master the skill myself. If possible, I want to be able to make at least 3 layers cake with super light cream icing (best if i manage to make meringue buttercream but alas ….)

During my mom’s birthday this year, I baked a WHITE Forest cake. Instead of chocolate spongecake (which i’m sort of bored of) I made a twist by baking a japanese cotton cheesecake & cream it just like i do with blackforest, haha

Here is my masterpiece, lol

the whipping cream still has a lot for improvement

 used the tupperware gift box, lol

 Was very happy there was a new baking supplies store, JADI opened up around my neighbourhood recently. I definitely can count on them to fulfill my baking needs apart from Bake with yen which only open up to 6pm daily on weekdays. I don’t always get to go BWY due to their very limited business hours….boo!!

There are lots of cute & nice cups at their store & I picked this up for the cuppies i planned to bake for the twins’ bowling birthday party!!

 But I made a mistake this time. This cup is only good for light color cake base. If you bake chocolate cake like I did, the designs could not be seen anymore!! The cups became all black…. what a waste

 I must say I was very very dissapointed with the outcome of these cuppies. And I swear I will never use those off-the-shelf sprinkles on my cuppies anymore…. they just made your cakes look CHEAP, crying !!!

next target is layer cake & tiramisu…. wah wah, sounds very ambitious ehh, u should know who to blame for this, lol

Happy baking to bakers out there

or 

Happy cake-savouring if you don’t bake !!

12 Oct 2011 ~ AirAsia flight to Changi airport

The hubs had training in SG for 3 days. Fully sponsored accomodation. Im sure everyone acknowledges how freaking expensive hotel rates in SG are. Since it was paid & the fact that I was curious about how a boutique hotel looks like, why not I join him for a night??

We owned a unit room of a boutique hotel here in KL & the interior of the hotel is very funky, bright, colorful & of contemporary design. Very cool so I had thought it targets a younger clientele & would not be that expensive.

But Klapsons The Boutique hotel gave me a whole new experience. I never expected it to have a 5 ** rating “standard”. It is a lot more smaller thus offering less facilities but it used very hi-tech systems in their rooms. The local in SG claimed that the rate of the hotel is ranging from S$500 - S$600++. No kidding after conversion ….

It’s a very low density hotel with only 32 rooms in total over 3 floors. What amazed me was that every single room was differently designed. Yes you heard it right, none of the room has the same interior. If you are curious & interested, you could take a virtual tour of their rooms in their website…….. imagine the see thru glass toilet door/wall standing right in the middle of the room, hahaha. I was expecting to get a room like the below but no luck.

I bet different room would have different rates & the fact that ours was sponsored, i’m sure it was one with the most simple designed But since it was very new, comfort & chic, i’ve no complaint

The hubs is now the MY authorised rep of the lighting & smart system brand in SG that was being featured in this hotel. I was the “lu-lu” trying to pull the ceiling height curtain with my bare hands only to be greeted with failure. luckily i noticed the curtain remote control button, gosh …. thank god i didn’t pull down the curtain, LOL

Here is the look of the bathroom in the room we stayed. The glass wall is facing the road which was only cover with a blackout blind *pengsan*. To be honest, i was very very uncomfortable with it as there were still very tiny opening between the blind… no kidding, maybe it was my mind that played up….i kept my naked body close to the wall all the time for i felt very insecure lor, LOL

One could dance under this rain shower as there’s a disco light there but like i said if only it offers more privacy lah, boo !!

Molton Brown London toiletries. I’ve no idea what brand is this but I saw there’s an outlet of this brand at Takasyimaya mall. Love the gingerlily shower gel scent.

Complimentary drinks …. tiger beer & orange juice

Artisan water….. wonder what’s so special, lazy to google lar

A nice coffee machine that you can play with but was too busy & tired by the time we retire at night, no time for this…. what a waste !!

Apart from taking a break with the stay at this boutique hotel, this trip was purely a shopping trip for me as I was on myself when the hubs was in training. So i didn’t really explored much with food, just had to bear with food court offerings!! I had a whole lots of fun & quiet shopping after i checked into the hotel at 3pm & I returned to the hotel around 9ish. And i literally ran out of S$$$ for more the next day. So i didn’t shopped the next day, was just glad & happy that i managed to catch up with an ex-colleague over lunch. We gossiped a lot, haha.

As expected I’ve picked up several beauty related stuffs for myself but NO getaway is without bringing back gifts for my 3 princes at home. I was very happy & satisfied with this Toyota Celica toy car that I got for baobei. I didn’t expect much out of it as it only cost me S$9.90. I want a car that could at least move by pull-back mode. But this came full with sound, light & action. The doors could even be opened. It was also very heavy….good good quality!!

The little boy loves it so much. Don’t ya think it’s so so worth ???

And here’s “something” for the 2 elder ones

I end this post with a very girly buy for myself

A bff got me to look out for this thing from triumph lingerie counter as she claimed it’s not available in KL (at the time of visiting). So i went to check it out. It’s a fashion bra strap accessories by Triumph. Very pretty. There are a few color selection (white pearl, green, blue, pink & red).

By looking at the below picture, stupid me think that each pack has only 1 strap but it actually came in a pair ….. damn stupid right? And yes i bought 2 packs (2 pairs) but i’m a happy owner by accident, tee hee!!

Left hotel ard 6ish for dinner & duty free shopping at Changi airport. Boarded the 9pm flight home….it was yet another tiring but very enjoyable getaway!!

Just to share some happy moments at home

With 3 babies at home (though 1 is fast approaching toddler stage), it’s hard not to expect lots & lots of laughters coming from these bunch of crazy adults (esp. from the babies’ perspective, lol)

Feeling sorry for these babies…. for they were treated like dolls/toys to satisfy the thrist-for-FUN from all their silly aunties (mommies & granny included).

The Do-Re-Mi

(2 mths, 4 mths, 19 mths)

thankfully even the 19th month old was cooperating….. but not for long

Wana see photos of ” BEHIND THE SCENE ” to the outcome of these cutie pies’ photos ????

arghhh….my baobei is so skinny already, missed his chubbiness so much

Does this post inspire you to have one more baby ????? tee hee

It was my niece’s (elder sis’s first daughter) 12th birthday last week. Being the first baby in the family, it was no qualm that she was once the center of attraction. Time flew by too quickly….she’s now the tai kah cheh among her 9 other cousins (from the maternal side). Both my boys adore her a lot & i enjoyed hearing my boys call her ” Tar Jie” (big sister). My sis threw her a little party at home…it was actually the kids’ party where invitation was only limited to her classmates & cousins. So I had a great excuse to dump the boys away for a good 3 hours. Nevertheless, I don’t get away freely…as it was the weekend, baobei was with me needless to say. Not only that, I had an extra session at the Church that evening. We don’t go for the Sat evening mass usually but there was a Rite of Acceptance session held during mass for us (being the cathechumen). During the session I had a very strong inner feeling (don’t know how to explain) & very touchy moment beneath my heart & felt closer & closer to God

Anyway, back to the party. Since my niece is a big fan of my cheesecake, what’s better time to reward her than her birthday, right? Apart from the little gifts we bought her, I presented her a box of dessert. Why I call it dessert??

It was a cupcake that consist of 3 layers of goodness :

bottom layer crust was the buttered digestive biscuits crumble

middle layer was the favourite creamcheese

top layer was the orange jello jelly

Wasn’t too happy with the jello results….now i wonder if the instruction on the box were correct or not. They turned out a tad too runny but no time to salvage, thank god it’s only a bunch of kids

Since the customers were a bunch of kids, i thought topping the cuppies with some candy would be a well received treat. But i have not had enough time to source for suitable sweets. So just be contended with normal gummy this time… thou color wise, they really need a lot of improvements, hahaha

Good to go ….

When I collected the boys, most of the cuppies were gone …. only 2 pieces left (not bad lah)

There were extra batter from this batch which I happily baked using a shallow glass casserole dish. This is just so that the beautiful layers could be displayed ….hehehe

This is how the layers look like

T.G.I.F ….. more baking during the weekend

Have a good weekend !!

Over the Raya weekend (27th to 28th Aug), we finally had our stay at the popular & much raved about resort hotel, Avillion, Port Dickson.

 It was suppose to be a long long weekend….all in 6 days from raya holiday extending to 1st Sep (being the replacement for our National Day)! Such a waste that I could not go away. Huby was pouting all the way knowing that I can’t fulfill his desire of going back to his hometown. He wanted to bring the twins away but can he leave baobei with me when I’m suppose to work from home?? As if it wasn’t torture enough for me?? So in the end he dropped the idea.

I hated it so much when holiday falls on the month-end …. esp. there’s NO WAY that I could arrange my work to be finished earlier as there’s a lot of inter-dependency between counterparts in other countries…. bleah

So I could only steal the weekend away. With my availability of only 2D 1N, the choice is very limited. So P.D. was in my thought instantly. I tried my luck & checked with the bffs if they have any plan during the holiday. PF replied that she has booked a night stay at Avillion ….. ooh boy, it was as if she has read my mind. I almost immediately jumped at the opportunity of joining her. After confirming that the huby was ok, off I went & booked the chalet via booking.com at RM450++ a night (before tax & service charges). Total room charge all inclusive was at a whooping price of RM520!!

It was the most expensive hotel i’ve ever departed my $$ with. It was only obvious that I expect a lot from it.

Huby’s bis partner, Julian & family was also at P.D. but checking out when we arrived. So we met over a lunch before heading to do our check-in.

snapping photos of the boys while doing check-in

I notice baobei is resembling Scot quite a bit …..

 a shot with my heart throb

lets tour the hotel now…….the raya decoration at the lobby

ooh yeah, forgot to say…. for what we paid we only got the Garden chalet, luckily still fronting the sea

thankfully the room was big enough to accomodate my BIG family (2A & 3C) . there was a king size bed, a day bed & a babycot.

entering the wash area now….you’ll see a long bath, shower area (left), toilet (right) & a double basin too.

 i was not at all impressive with what Avillion was offering. as i said, i had my expectation set high & it turned out no different from the numerous 5 stars hotels i’ve stayed around before (which cost just the same). Instead, I noticed most of the amenities in the hotel & room were very run-down already (it’s understood given the life of it). so what’s so great about Avillion??? cheyyy …. no big deal & not worth lah!! will i ever return….nah, not until they refurbish their place. i’m more interested with Legend next

 anyway, i still brought myself to enjoy the place since there’s really no point sucking also.

here’s the place we had our breakfast (which was included in the package)

 the adults pool …. but wait, further up there was another strictly-adults pool too

the kiddos pool

just  anyway with water you put the kids, they’ll be thrilled & happy.

ahem….look at someone’s belly, agagagaga

lovely cutie …. not the old one obviously

he was so so so happy lah

part of me was worrying if baobei would catch another cold after the swim…. but no, phewww !!!

love, love, love these sexy shots of my MEN (gonna frame them up around the house soon)

i was grateful that i was not needed to be in the pool…. thus PF & I had all our time to catch up & gossip by the pool side *blek*

here’s the beach fronting the chalets….. a very quiet one, surprisingly not many people took to the sea & beach. instead the pool was seen crowded all the time….. ahhh, all city folks!

luckily we didn’t paid more for the water chalet….i don’t know how much more it’s gonna cost but i’ll be happy to save that portion. coz these water chalets are just opposite or a walkway across where the garden chalets are located. so in terms of distance to the sea, it doesn’t really made a lot of difference.

We spent our Saturday at the pool most of the time after checking in. By 5+, we returned for a quick wash before heading out for a seafood dinner. Forgot the restaurant name but if you are heading the right direction, you should be able to see a temple-look-alike restaurant. It was very eye-catchy & we have eaten there several times already. Food was OK, not too bad. Had a couple of good seafoods as well as crabs. Thankfully baobei was behaving during the dinner, else i would be deprived of the chance to ‘crab’

Sunday morning, after breakfast we took a stroll around the petting zoo as well as the newly built SPA building which looks very tempting to me but too bad not when I have kids around.

….. the boys …..

that’s how city folks would dressed up at the beach …. boohoo …. so unappropriate lor, haha

poor poor baobei was bitten all over the face by darn mosquitos

this shot really caught my eyes …. it looks so warm to me, i wonder what were they grinning over??? baobei was like so shy, lol

ooh dear baobei, i hope you would be holding dady’s hand just the same way when he’s old & weak one day, ok

since sea water was at very low tide that morning, the boys turned to a fun sweating soccer session instead

the 3 skinny pot

2 more relaxing shots before ending the post with Avillion

Adios Avillion, till we have fate again. PD is still a good place for a short getaway despite the uninteresting surrounding & slow lifestyle !!

Notice i’ve not jotted down a single word about this precious journey! High time to report ….

Now that it has ended for almost a year already, I’m glad to be able to report that I’ve tried it …. I’ve been there ….& I’ve DONE it, yeah (bare in mind this was my first experience as I DID NOT breastfeed the twins previously & regretted big time)

I was extremely excited to begin the journey with so naturally I was full of anticipation & high in expectation. I was so dissapointed & upset when the milk DID NOT arrived even by 7-8 days after delivery. At the rate that I was allowing bb to suck & expressing by pump, I was considered way too hard working by the confinement lady. My pumping session could last as long as 45mins for each breast……Yet why was it so late & little….even the CL was puzzled. I SOSed pityfully for support & assurance.

Imagine the joy in me when I started seeing these liquid gold in such trivial amount despite a long pumping session almost at the end of week 2?? I remember vividly after snapping this photo with my ericsson hp, i quickly MMS the photo & shared the good news with the hubs, lol

I’ve tried all sort of methods within my mean to increase the milk…. i’d summoned the hubs to Fabulous mom to get the milk tea & fenugreek tablets (as advised by chinnee) …. i’d got the CL to boil gallons of fish soup & drank them religiously …. consumed lots & lots of water plus red dates soup. Yet, upon reaching the end of my 2 months maternity my milk supply merely increased to slightly over 1 oz ~ 2 oz the most, darn pathetic hor???

To be honest with such poor payoff despite the hard work, I was very very demotivated by then especially when I was alone with baby without CL in the 2nd month.

I must confess that I started to go slacking when I started to travel out of the house by 3rd month. I was not persistent enough to do my regular pumping when I was out & about. Hence there were lots of missing session which I trust was not helping in keeping the milk production at all. I struggled & was in such deep dilemma as I felt failure in me & had wanted to give up  

But I managed to convince myself that this will be my LAST & FINAL chance to complete this valuable task as a mother so I warned myself better not risk regretting another episode!! Furthermore, with the expensive investment in the Avent pump, i better maximise the usage as much as I could….that was basically how i survived the journey.

When I officially resume work, I even had the luxury & privacy of my own room for a relaxing pumping session. Eventually the milk did increased to 3oz or more but never exceeded 4oz. From both sides, not single breast ok!!

Somehow, I was proud of myself that I survived another 6 months of pumping in the office….eventhough it was only 1 session around 4pm before finishing my work. So my baobei had at least 3oz of gold liquid a day on top of his formulae up till he was 8 months old !!

YES, I made the biggest decision ever in my life to END my breastfeeding journey when baobei completed his 8th months of life. I must agreed that breastfeeding is a very tough job. It came & go in a blink of eyes. Despite the short journey & lots of downs in between I’m glad that I’ve done my BEST for my lovely & beautiful anak bongsu

Here you go Avent, bidding farewell to you & I shall never need you again this life

Anyway, what’s the GOOD NEWS as mentioned in the title ?????

ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha

If you are my Facebook friends, you might have noticed both my younger sisters had given birth recently. Lots of babies at home….it was very very merry situation when everyone gather around.

Left - RickShen (the big eyes malay look-alike boy of sister no.4) = 1 month

Right - Naythan (the mata sepet cinapek boy,lol of sister no.3) = 3 months

 Sister No.3 (Mic) was not so lucky with breastmilk & she’s worst than me….as DRY as ever, lol

On the other hand, sister No.4 (Mag) was gifted with a MILK MACHINE in her body, u get what i mean??

In less than 2 weeks, she can produced 7oz of milk in 15mins ….. boy, why was God so unfair?? U can imagine how envy is sister Mic. She was jokingly commented if my other sis is offering to supply milk to her bb, she’s willing to drive all d way from Damansara to Cheras for the milk, lol

Mag has 3 months maternity & after her confinement, she moved to my mom’s house to spend the rest of her 2 months. There are definitely going to be more hands to help at my mom’s place as my helper is there too. My mom could also settle her 3 meals a day!!

And so ….. my mom has 1 condition for Mag to fulfill if  she wants to stay at her place !!!!!

wana make a guess?????

My mom insisted that she must offer 3oz of breastmilk for my baobei DAILY….. wah hahahahaha

She sucks of course but nevertheless chose to close 1 eye when my mom just ‘curi’ 1 bottle from her stash daily!! Mom said since she has so much supply, it’ll be very ’sayang’/wasted to not maximise the usage, LOL!! Anyway, mom said at any one time there’ll be at least 6-7 bottles of milk in supply so she took away 1 bottle also my sis would not notice, hahaha.

But I must confess that this granny is very ‘phin sam’ (favouritism) towards little baobei, no complain from the mother though

I am SOOOOOO Glad that baobei gets the benefits of the gold liquid again. It’ll be another 2 more months of consuming the nutritional supplies for baobei before Mag resume work.

Hopefully this post will reminds baobei that Mag yi-yi has once be his milk nanny, lol

thank you yi-yi

Here’s a snapshot of the gold liquid stash at my mom’s fridge

Bravo for breastfeeding !!

OK, not wordless but just a sentence ~ too many photos taken & my camera is suffering from constipation
