Does size really matter?

Okay the title has nothing to do with whatever you are thinking of right now. Hehe. I am actually referring to our children's built.

The thing is, my son is now 20 months old and he is smaller compared to his peers. By small I would say thin. Height wise I think he is quite tall. Although I haven't had any clue how tall he is now.

My husband and I have always been receiving comments from family, friends and even strangers of how small Bebe Ian is. At first I was intimidated. Because the fact that I am still breastfeeding him and how thin he still is. But look, I've known and read breastfed babies are tend to be on the leaner side compared to formula fed baby. Although some breastfed babies are an image of Michelin's mascot!

So now, I have stopped obsessing on how much weight my son should gain and focus on his other development milestones which I think are pretty good. Hehe. We are amazed on how fast he can mimic whatever my husband and I are doing or repeat whatever we are saying (almost clear, still babyish language). So we are watching what we do or say in front of him. :)

On solids, this little boy of mine eat almost everything that we offer. With exception of sesame bun (coz it's black) and cherries, grapes and yogurt. The rest he will eat if not all at least a little bit. He is starting to hate porridge (can't blame him!) so we started feeding him rice once in a while. But his favorite is noodles. From my Korean ramen to normal fried noodles he loves to eat them. He can finish one small bowl in one seating :)

Considering that my son is eating and thriving well, I will just go with the flow. Means as long as he's healthy and happy, I'm happy. :)

The season of Ah Choo

Ah Chooo!!!!! Officially this is the official sound both at home and work for me. Bebe Ian is down with flu for the second time. But this time Mr. Cough decided to come along. Yes, why not? The more the merrier right? Argh!!!

And the dear bugs has invaded my body since yesterday. Been coughing my lungs out since morning and I just wish it will stop. So damn annoying. This round the doctor near my workplace prescribed a course of antibiotic to me. I hope it will work. Please work!

Guess it may have to do with our weather nowadays right? Hot and hazy all day long. How I wish Mr. Rain would come and visit once in a while. The apartment where I'm staying right now feels like an oven even at night time. Just so so HOT. But I can't put the air con to any cooler than 25 degree C because Bebe Ian will get a nasal block. Haihh...

Should I try and perform the rain dance? Hmm...

Once In a Blue Moon

I'm updating from the office... And hence the title. I have so many things to share, but just can't find the time to do so. Let me just roughly point what stuff I want to share with you guy

> Bebe Ian is 6 months plus. And he's started on solid earlier.. Around 5 months 3 weeks or so... It was a fun time for me and husband. The first solid that we gave him was a puree of banana mixed with baby rice and breast milk. Hehe...Now he's eating 3x per day. Normal baby porridge with variety of vege added... Amount would be around 3 big tbs per feeding... and with same amount of breast milk (around 14oz during day time). I'm not sure how much he drinks at night cause I breastfeed directly.. :) So my worries about he's not taking enough BM has gone. :) Hope he will gain his appetite soon so that we can increase the amount of solids to feed him.

> I can't wait to move! It has started to annoy me. Small space. More people. But I have to endure this until our house is ready. Crap.

> Tomorrow I will be flying back to KK... But only for few days.. :( I want to visit my grandpa... He was admitted again late last month and my mom said he's getting weaker :(

> I bought stuffs from Little Whiz & Fabulous Mom that I would like to share with you guys... But not fun without any photos... So will update this part later (If later ever comes ^^)

> I miss my buddies..... I actually missed going out & hanging out with them... Dun get me wrong... I love being with Ian all the time :) But still, I miss you gals... Muacks...

> I will be nanny-less soon... HOW?? Anybody knows anybody? I am reluctant to send Ian to a nursery.. Argh.. Headache!

> I want to quit my job and become a full time housewife. Can I? Oh how I wish for this to happen... Soon pls.

> My friend said tonight is the starting of the ghost festival. It's only 5.45pm, and the skies outside is pitch black... Wah... (Shudder)

 

Monday rant

Hi peeps, it's yet another Monday and I bet most of us dread to go through one. Well to be on a positive note, I'm not working today.. Wait wait... I however will have to spend the whole day at the clinic, literally. It's my monthly check and also BSP day... Ya people sadly I was diagnosed of having gestational DM after the borderline MGTT...
Now I have another 2 hrs to kill before the next blood test so I will rant about something... Hehe..

Do you know anybody who constantly brag about him/ herself.. Like every single f-ing day? Well I do... See there's this colleague of mine who without fail will brag about herself all the time (we sabahan call this ppl minta puji). She will brag from something about how branded and expensive her clothings are till bout how much money she has that she lives in a wealthy residence... I mean, come on... If you want to announce to the world of how rich you are, people will get it the first time you told them. There's no need to keep showing off coz people like me will hate you to the bits..
So what if you're rich? Does that make you happy in this world? I don't think so. If your life is so fulfilling, why did your husband do not care enough when he fetched you one evening by motorbike when it's raining and you are pregnant... Why?

What... after all the tappings to type this rant I have only managed to kill 18 mins... What the...

Okay okay... So luckily I'm not sitting close to this lady in the office... If not, then I'll suffer like another colleague of mine who does.. Immuned to other people's body language of how annoyed they are when this lady will keep calling her to brag her latest life...
How to ward off such people?

I guess I'll never find out... All I can do is to rant bout them an avoid their company whenever I can...

Shithead!

Pardon me, but I just need to vent.

I just came back from the gym and I'm not feeling well at the moment. Just now while heading back to the car, Maso and I passed thru this line of cars illegally parked outside. And just before we crossed the road, there's this car wanting to illegally side park his car there too causing us to step further aside in order to avoid the car ... And both of us muttered "Bodoh". (Yalah, u illegaly parked, causing trouble to ppl)

Then suddenly out of nowhere, got this one guy standing near one of the illegaly parked cars there shouted something like " you dua orang la yang bodoh, macam babi". I was like ??? WTF?! Both of us looked at him and he's still bla bla bla something but we kept walking towards my car. Maso said he was like wanting to chase us. OMG, perasan mau mampus...

I can't really see the face but he's dark skinned. WTF, you can rot in hell like I care.

Tired

I'm tired of having to call TM over and over again with regards to my Streamyx issue. And after all the ding-donging for 2 months, enough is enough.

Since the contract is finishing coming 31/3/2009, my partner said will not continue with this kind of service anymore.

Then I'm wondering on whether should I subscribe Jaring / Maxis for my next internet service provider? Is there anyone using either one of this?

Got mugged!!!

Stupid TM.
It's been almost 2 months since I last used my Streamyx account.
After several battles over the phone with the people behind the number 100, FINALLY, the contractor came just now and no, I still didn't get my internet connection yet.
Like a mantra the contractor told me... "Please wait for another 2-7 working days before one of our guy come and do the jumping stuff for you". Don't this sounds familiar to you???

Then the most irritating part is of course the extra monies that you need to pay to them. When we first call, the people behind the number 100 told us that there'll be no extra charge to us since we NEED to move to another house. It's not like we simply move or anything... my previous house caught fire la... But then the contractor asked for another RM30 just now (for installation) and I will still need to pay RM50 (to TM for changing address) WTF???!!!

Seriously, I just want my internet back. And thank God that this contract is only for a year. Can't wait for it to finish and I shall find a new service provider... or downgrade my internet capacity for a cheaper bill.

Life is really a bitch.

Quick Update!

I have been struck by few "disasters" lately...
1. 13/12/2008 around 5pm++, my room's ceiling caught fire. I was SO panicked. Luckily the fire didn't spread to the other rooms. I'll update the pics and write more on this when I get back my internet connection. (Now I'm taking advantage on office's internet again, hehe) So... to be short, now I'm a homeless gal.

2. 19/12/2008. Got a flat tyre this morning. My partner drove us back from Equine last nite after viewing my-new-house-to-be. Being tired and all, he accidentally drove the car direct to a big pothole near Bukit Mahkota. He did check the car last night but no damage could be seen. But this morning, the left front tyre was totally flat. And worse the rim was crooked as well. So I have to drive at 50mph to Serdang to get it fixed. I reached office at ~11am.

3. 19/12/2008. Oliver sneaked out from my partner's house to the empty neighbouring unit this morning. I hope he'll come home soon.

On a happier note (though belated ones), the four of us visited Malacca on 6/12/2008. It was a pleasant trip and I shall update more on the trip with pics soon.

For now, I'm just hoping that everything will get settled quickly as I'm flying back home on this coming 23rd for Xmas Holiday...

Oh, and workload in the office now sucks.

Anyways, do have a Merry Cristmas & a Happy New Year folks!!!

Eeeeee....

First - Luckily the winning team for Amazing Race Asia 3 was not the P****'s team. Yey for Ida & Tania for great positivity till the end. Congrats HK team!

Second - So the "maintenance" guy came. He charged me RM80 for just fiddling some sticks at the sink drainage point. But it came to no good too...seems like it's a bigger problem. So as of now, my sink still doesn't work...DAMN!

Third - My landlord said that I should bear 50% of the cost... Should I? I mean, it's not like I'm going to rent this place forever right?

Fourth - My poor mum, she still work around the kitchen with a clogged sink.

Fifth - Wish my partner is here with me now. He's sure will know what to do with the sink. Damn my dependency side towards him for hard labour stuff.

Pain in the TUT...

I am really pissed with this leakage, clogged drainage system and continuously wet kitchen. Darn darn darn!

My landlord can only send someone to fix on coming thursday... Arghh! Tension ni...

Moreover, my mom and sis will arrive tomorrow... This unwelcome kitchen will be a total inconvenience to us till thursday. DARN!!!!!
