Nephew Bulat - the Big Brother

The sweet things he does:
1. Always run out to the car porch and greet baby Cola when I drives into the house. Once I get out from the car, he will ask: "Baby Cola you lai ma?" "Baby Cola is coming or not?" Then sometimes he will help me to carry Baby Cola's red bag into the house.

2. Report to me when baby cries. Bulat:"TU-TU~~~, BB EH LOO!" "KU-KU(aunt), baby is crying!" Well, for the first 2 weeks, he will tell me that baby is crying when baby is moving and not sleeping and alone inside the room.

3. Touch baby's forehead, hands, and feet as gentle as you can imagine for a kid who throws his toys around everyday.

4. Smell baby's feet. He will tell you the feet smell nice if you asked. For a boy who is only 2-years-old, I can hardly believe he loves the baby smell too.

5. Kiss baby's forehead. He will lower his head slowly, very very slowly when near the baby.

6. Take whatever for baby when you ask him to. He will help to take the towel when my mom bath the baby, but if you were asking him to take the folded lampin, you will need to refold it by the time the lampin reach your hand. :)

7. Search for items that you cant find. Got once, I forgot where I have put baby Cola's transparent pacifier. So, my mom and I looked for it. I thought Bulat does not know what is a pacifier as he does not use any before. But, he is the one who found it, in fact, he just know where I put it after use. ;p

8. Call out baby's name in a long voice. When Cola's crying because of wet diaper, Bulat will call him by his side, like comforting him.

The weird things he did:
1. Put the pacifier into his mouth and suck. At first, he just took the pacifier and examined it. After a few days, he put it into his mouth. He must be very curious about it. Now, he does not really show any interest in it anymore.

The bad things he did:
1. Unwilling to share his stuves with baby. He immediately asked me whose milk bottle that I was using to feed baby when he first saw it as the bottle is same like his. He does not allow my baby to play with his toys too.

2. Hit baby. He is rebellious. Sometimes, he will hit baby with pillow. Maybe he is jealous as there is no one playing with him and that I am always playing with baby. For the first 2 weeks, he even appointed me to make milk for him as he saw me making milk for my baby.

Healthy Corner

Thalassaemia charity sale is over again. This year it is on 26th October.

We are really lack of man power this year, there are only KC, sandbox, @pple, CCW and myself.

Therefore, we do not "char bee-hoon" like last year anymore. We think of the easiest way to raise fund this year.

This year, the organizer has came up with the theme going green and requested all the stalls not to use plastic bags. So, we decided to sell healthy food.

Very pretty stall we have, green and red!

Our price list, it is actually Power Station poster donated by Winnie.

Organic vegetables sponsored by KC's grandmother. =) First to finish!

Big red apples. Second!

Rambutans sponsored by KC's aunt. =) Third to finish!

Green apples. Last!

@pple decided to take down the price list and replaced it with this one:


At around 10:30am, we decided to pack and leave. In fact, there are still 20 green apples left. ;p

We have raised RM507 this year.

What I did during the maternity leave?

If you ever wonder what I did for the pass one month after confinement, well, I was enjoying life and pampering myself while spending money like running water under the tap.

Basically, I spent my time doing what GIRLS do!

The first thing I did right after confinement is to go for facial and treatment for my poor face. After the first treatment, all the scars and dark spots caused by pimples are obviously getting better. Phew~ There is still hope! How I wish to get rid of them in a day or two, but the treatment is a bit scary. The whole face is like getting sunburn, then the skin starts peeling off the following days. It is terrible. So, I refuse to go for second treatment and sign up for the normal facial instead. It might take time to recover but at least I can enjoy and relax during the facial session and IT IS CHEAPER compare to the treatment!

Next, I went shopping whenever I got the chance! Well, baby Cola is too small to go shopping. So, I need to make sure there is someone taking care of him before I can go out! I bought 2 pairs of heels within a week. I miss wearing high-heels!

This is my all-time favourite pattern with a 2 1/2 inches heel! But this pair is 3 inches! *bleks*

So far, I have not buy any clothes yet. I still hope that I can get slimmer, at least return to the size before I got pregnant. I do not want to spend money on L size clothings, not until 4 months after giving birth. Two more months, I hope my body size will shrink slowly. Haha!

Also, I love to paint my fingernails! When I was pregnant, my eldest brother warned me that I should avoid from using chemical stuves such as nail polisher, make-up, etc. I did not avoid it totally, I still use them but not too frequent. Now, it is time to play with the colours! I just bought a set of French manicure kits and learn how to paint them. It is not too difficult! Show you next time!

Do you still remember the Konad nail arts? Click here to see my first attempt of using it.

This is my second attempt.

I finished doing 10 fingernails within 20 minutes with my hubby's help! He can stamp the art nicely. I give him 90% while I only deserves 80% for the stamping work.

Besides, I also spent time watching TV programmes that I used to watch before (before I got married!).

Maybe you will wonder why I can only do so little things in a month time, HELLO, I spent most of my time with my baby Cola. I can only afford to spare myself 2-3 hours per day doing things that I like. The rest of the time will be for baby Cola and also carrying out my daily routine. Once again, I learn the lesson in life: time is precious!

My newborn has became an infant...

Time seems to pass faster than before, baby Cola is 2-months-old already!
I love him so much, muacks!

He can smile and he loves to smile especially when you talk to him. I miss talking to him and his smile the most in office today.

A new start...

I am going back to work tomorrow!

How I feel now?

Well, excited! It is like school kid going back to school after the long school holidays.

I am going to meet all my dear teammates and colleagues again. I miss my small cubicle too.

OK, I need to sleep early in order to wake up early to go to work tomorrow.

Good night!

Sleepy days...

*yawn*

I am sleepy everyday. Still trying very hard to adapt to the new sleeping pattern which is waking up every 2-3 hours at night to feed baby Cola. The whole feeding process took about 30-40 minutes before I can get back to sleep. I must say that it is not easy!


*yawn*

I secretly hope that baby Cola will soon sleep longer hours at night so that I do not have to wake up so often.

A mug of coffee a day is no longer sufficient, I need 1.5 mugs now.

Start to wonder how am I going to survive when I go back to work after the maternity leave. Well, my friend just reminded me that my leave is going to finish soon! :(

Not easy ... really!

New Handphone

Remember that I mentioned my handphone says GOODBYE to me on the day baby Cola says HELLO to me? Click here if you wish to know.

No, I did not send the handphone for repair at all as there are people that look down on my handphone. Well, it is a handphone with the most basic features which I can use it for voice call and sms/texting. :) I have forgotten the model, but it is a Samsung product and has served me faithfully for more than 4 years. It is also my nephew, Bulat's most favourite toy. He plays with it as if it has a built-in camera and sometimes throws it as if it is any rubber-made handphone. Haha, OK, that's all about my old handphone.

Remember that I mentioned in the post: "My earning through blog" that I am indecisive whether to get a handphone or a notebook with the money I earn through writing paid posts? Obviously, I bought a handphone instead of a notebook.
Do not ask me about the handphone, I know not much except that it has the 5mp built-in camera and GPS. Ccw is the one who choose the handphone for me. Haha, as long as I can use it to make phone calls and send sms, I am happy enough.

Nope, I have not earned enough for it yet, it is RM1600. My current earnings can only pay off 1/4, but better than nothing, right?

iLASIK Information

Are you tired of wearing glasses? I have been wearing glasses for more than 15 years and am really tired of wearing them now. Though the existence of contact lens gives me a chance to avoid wearing glasses all time, its possible side effects make me unwilling to put it on everyday. Thus, the LASIK technology is one of my chance to get rid of both glasses and contact lens. However, a proper research must be done before I decide to undergo the LASIK procedure.

Today, I came across an article about LASIK information that makes me have more confident to try it out. Basically, it is about iLASIK (modern LASIK) and LASIK usage in the military and NASA. The Department of Defense (DOD) and NASA have opted the LASIK to improve the vision of mission-critical personnel and also proved the safety and effectiveness of LASIK technology. It is said that the military’s evaluation of modern LASIK in 100 military personnel showed that 95% achieved 20/20 uncorrected vision or better. Don't you think that the results is really encouraging?

iLASIK procedure is improved from the older forms of LASIK. iLASIK procedure uses two lasers, wave-front technology maps the individual's eyes and then an ultrafast, computer-guided laser creates a corneal flap which replaces the handheld microkeratome blade used in earlier versions of the procedure. These advanced laser technologies make the whole procedure clinically proven to be safe.

I am not sure about you but I am saving up for this procedure in near future.
