Baby talk

A little update on my 8 months old baby, he is now very talkative, basically just baby talk and he can go on and on and on. Apart from that, he has the stability when he stands but he still needs to hold on to something and he's learning to walk a little too when he's supporting himself by holding on to the sofa.

In addition to that, he crawls pretty fast and smooth now and the greatest improvement was, he can now crawls up the steps. So, mummy and daddy now need to really keep our eyes very very close to him. He loves remote controls, especially the Astro remote control, perhaps because it's colorful, despite having countless toys parading in front of him for him to play. Oh yes, he also like playing with plastic packaging e.g wet wipes packaging?

My Splurge :D


These are my latest splurge, well, since they have promotions today, might as well, since these are my essentials. For the first time today, I have witnessed SK-II counter is more or less like a fish market, the sales ladies practically can't keep their mouth shut even for a second, serving customers and explaining the uses of the products. Tyler is not even bothered by the crowded small counter in Parkson, Kuching cause he was surrounded by ladies, all young and old who are adored by his cute face, he doesn't seem to mind the attention at all. Today's deal was, if I were to spend a total of RM1,400, I'd get a 19 pc gift set. Why not? Plus, I'd get additional gift vouchers and 5 times bonus link points. Since the deal was so great, there goes my card again... As soon as my turn came, I was told that the 19 pc gift set are finished! damn, I was a minute too late, but the sales lady was nice enough to give me the display gift set, and I could see the lady queueing behind me was a lil disappointed. Without hesitation, I was happy to take the display set.


These are my 19 pc gifts set :D isnt it a good buy? I know all guys out there will not understand the value of skin care products. Even my very own hubby will strike a heart attack on my splurge (it i was using his money la) but I'm using my own money, so he'll nag a little bit :P how often do I buy these anyway? Perhaps just once or twice the most in a year. Isn't it a good bargain? I guess so, since I don't really shop in Kuching.




This is a very happy me, for this week, having came back from a long deserving holiday + shopping, new gadget and a great deal at SK-II! hahahahahah

Mummy's new gadget



Today I got myself a net book, actually I've been eying for a net book for quite sometime, but never thought of buying it so soon on the spot, till this model attract my attention. Aspire One D260. All along, I'm a packaging person, I'd buy anything with nice packaging... All the net book I've seen was just the normal 1 tone colored net book, but this exceptional model comes in designs and it's ultra thin and this is the perfect one for me and cost only RM1,299.00.

Since having a lappie, what's the use of having it without any connection at home? So, we went to subscribed Maxis broadband and comes with a contract modem with 7.2 Mbps download capabilities. I took the 3g packaged at RM68.00 per month and boy... I'm so satisfied with this connection. Its faster than celcom for sure and it has lower interruption rate. I used to subscribe Celcom for the RM99 per month package and the connection sucks so much.

Now, with my new gadget, I guess I'm able to blog more often now.

Tyler's first Singapore trip


We brought Tyler to Singapore on the 17th June 2010 when he was abt 7 and half months. Throughout the trip, I'd rate him 90% since he could follow us shopping all day long, but the deal was, we need to carry him and no stroller allowed :( During the flight, from Kuching to S'pore, he slept throught the take off, but he cried a lil during landing. I think it's normal due to the air pressure.


This is our one and only family pic taken by my lil bro-in law during lunch at Ajisen-ramen in Parkway Parade. Initially we wanted to have lunch there and off to Ikea to buy Tyler's high chair, but the plan was cancelled coz we couldn't wait to shop at that very minute :P It was Great Singapore Sale anyway. It really amaze me how cheap are baby hings sold in Spore. Imagine this... I've always use this bottle nipple brush from Pigeon, selling in Parkson cost RM 20.90 for 1 pc. So all the the I have to carefully use it coz no matter how delicate I use it, it wont last me longer than 1 month. Then in Spore, it was only selling at SGD $ 3.90. Well, even after conversion, I could buy 2.5 pcs with my money spen on 1 in Ringgit. Guess what? I bought all of it from 1 store (which was about 5 left on the shelf) hahahahha

Talking about buying suff, in Kuching I've searched high and low for good quality tweezers, I used to buy from Watson's in Kuching, however, starting this year onwards, I could find any!! even in Guardian or pharmacies, I even asked friends and cousin who traveled to KL to help me find, but to no avail. In S'pore there are plentiful! I bought like 6 or 7 pcs and it's much cheaper compared to M'sia. In M'sia its selling for like RM20 plus each, in S'pore only SGD $6.50. So tell me, why wouldn't I buy more, right?



Tyler here trying his first ice-cream, but he doesn't seem to like it, maybe it's too cold for him. He's been such a sweetie and he was able to drink his milk either indoor or taxi. But when we're back in Kuching, he'd now prefer drinking in the car.


We went to The Sands, on our 2nd day, early in morning at 8.30am coz we've got no where to go so early, plus shopping centres don't open till 11am.



Luckily Tyler was sleeping... when you're in a Casino, you would wanna visit the CASINO itself too right? So Tyler and I were waiting for hubby to please his curiosity towards the Sands Casino for 30 mins. hahahhahah When he came back, it's my turn!! I went in, looked around and it looked just normal, I don't have the "wow" effect. So, I tried my luck since I have about 15 mins before my time is up. I placed my bet on the roulette table and at the end of 15 mins, I won about SGD 150.00 yeayyy more shopping money for me!! It's an experience though.






We both bought Crocs shoes, it's not that cheap, but at least it has the latest designs that it'll probably take a decade to reach East Malaysia :P



Tyler got himself a pair of shoe + socks. It's something I've never seen, it's a socks with an attached sole to it. Since it's unique, I bought ti for him and he got this theory rather quickly. "one must bite new shoes in order for it not to bite us back" hahahahah there he is chewing his new shoe socks.



Brought him to Toys'r'Us...



Some of the time, he would allow daddy to carry him in the carrier but not on the stroller. That indeed helped a lot for my arms. When i was shopping for myself, I cant even try on the clothes, so I just grab any that I think is nice.



Overall, it was fun yet tiring to bring a baby along. However I don't think I could leave my child alone when I'm out traveling :)

Daddy's & Mummy's Project


Recently I was walking in The Spring mall and I came across kids painting on a piece of metal, out of curiosity, I asked them what was it for and the lady said it's DIY window sticker. That caught my interest straight and got myself a set of the colors, sticker and metal.


First, you'd need to transfer the outline of the picture onto a metal piece, and start coloring... that's the fun part...



After that, you'd need to leave it in the oven for a minute, then put in cold water and just peel it and stick on any glass surface.



So, i've stick my project on the glass window in my office...


Donald duck and Mickey & Minnie...




Don't know what cartoon character this is....



So, Daddy's project is sticking wall stickers... and now my room looks like a nursery :)




Oh yes, a little update on my 7 and half month old baby Tyler, he used to drink only in car rides, and the car mustn't stop while he's drinking or else he'd cry and stop drinking, but how on earth can we not stop the car at the traffic lights, right? Luckily at 7 and the half month. He developed a liking for drinking only at outdoor, his criteria must have; trees and wind blowing. Well, this is not that difficult to meet, isnt it? The routine is now, to my in-laws' house (coz there's a swing and he loves it so much) in the morning before going to work, and the rest of the day feeding would be in front of our office. Phewwww at least it's much easier now, or daddy would need to drive at feeding time at every 3 hrs :)







Gawai break 2010


My best friend, Magdeline came to visit us during her Gawai Holiday, she's been working in KL for the past few years and she is also Tyler's God-mummy. I've been waiting for this visit for a long time, since having Tyler, we could not travel as much, therefore, I hardly go to KL and visit Mag. Luckily she came to visit Tyler right after my confinement. She never fail to shower Tyler with gifts, each visit, she doesn't just buy one or two toys, but always always more than 3 items and made me really pai seh sometimes.


Sadly during this visit, she has red-eyes and she's been really careful all the time by wearing sunnies 24/7 while Tyler's around, even during dinner, poor her, she must felt really uncomfortable. The great things is, Tyler wasn't affected by the red eyes at all, but hubby did, he started having red eyes last night. This month, everyone seems to be getting sick. I, myself is recovering from flu as well, started last thursday, and so lucky Tyler wasn't really affected, though he has a little running nose. Hope he doesn't get worse.

I'd say Tyler is one very lucky boy, he gets gifts all the time, these are all his gifts during the Gawai break. My brother, Jason, bought him a Harrod's singing dog (in red), crocs apple green shoes, 3 tees and a name tag. Soon, I shall upload a pic of the tag when hubby is done accesorized Tyler's walker :P Mag bought Tyler 2 toys and a shirt, and she helped bring Tyler's hamper back from the Purree contest and it's really heavy! and I owe her alot... Thanks Mag dear!! My uncle Donald also bought Tyler a Harrod's teddy, see, Tyler is so so loved



This is my superstar bestfriend, wearing sunnies in the indoors, hahahahah but you looked great even with the red eyes gal.
