Weekend @ IKEA

Went to IKEA to source for storage solutions for nursery room. We bought a few items mainly for Baby S and eyed on a few items also for Baby S. Now we need to punch the calculator, ensure that all things are bought within budget.

I had Nasi Lemak and HB had overpriced meatballs. HB gave Baby S orange juice, we love the expression on Baby S. It's his first time drinking juice. Baby S rarely fuss during our meal time, that's is 1 reason why I can bring Baby S out alone w/o much worries.

I love family day out like this, we don't need to go to high end places but equally enjoyed ourselves.

Most of the times its not where you go is who you go with that matters.

I fell!!!

Damn after a good whole not falling for 1.5 years, I had my first fall. A nasty + embarrassing one.

I fell when alighting the bus. The bus's air-con has be to blamed!!! My legs were cold and wobbly after a 45mins ride. 1 guy rushed up to help me up, the other one queuing behind me got a shock and keep asking me "are you alright?" . That make me more embarrassed. Quickly stable myself, thanks them and walk away.

I can't wear anything that is beyond knee length cause the abrasion hurts.

This fell also marked the clumsy me is back again.

Taking my driving license

Yes. U didnt hear me wrong. Im taking my driving license. I used to think that I do not need 1 but with Baby S presence it changed my thinking.

Im looking forward to all my lessons!! Wish me all the best!!!

Baby S in Jumperoo

I rented Fisher Price Jumperoo from Rent That Toy. Some toys will be outgrown very soon hence there is no need to spend a bomb on them. Renting the toy can help save money and baby can have more option of toys without worrying the storage at home.

Initially he didn't know what to do with the Jumperoo, it took him a few rounds to start enjoying the Jumperoo.

Plan wrecked & everythings so wrong

TOTALLY WRECKED!!!!!

Sigh, I don't know why. When I thought I have planned everything well, such thing happen. Now I'm so caught in the daily rush and being so sleep deprive, I simply can't think properly at all. Re-planning every single thing is still required.

Luckily we found a nanny for Baby S, so baby issue is more or less settled. I didn't know the real meaning of DESPERATE until I was looking high and low for a caregiver for my 'special' son in a super short period of time. Leaves meant for his post op were burnt. HB and I have to take turn to care for him instead of the initial plan.

A good friend's mom told me that career golden period is between 25-35. This 10 years will determine a lot. I planned to put more focus on my career and really make the best during this golden period. But God decided to crack a joke on me. Now I had to juggle work and baby at the same time. To make matter worse, company is going through another round of changing of staff. That means, I'm going to be SUPER busy till probably end of the year. I can't afford to OT till very late cause Baby S needs to be picked up. So crazy workload + tight working hours = Good Luck to me.

Im not sure what's suppose to be next, not sure how to planned anymore.

Some of my long term plan which are not in sequence.
1.Getting a car
2.Get a degree
3.Gives Baby S a sibling

Last but not least I'm broke.... Damn BROKE!!! Especially this month...... I have ate into my savings........ The money that were planned to be saved, the money that were planned for needs and wants are all GONE........... With so much things planned ahead and so little money left would probably means some plans got to be sacrificed. How I wished I have a printing money machine at home, or wake up with a bed full of money. To make either 2 happen, all I need is to DREAM ON!!!

On top of all these bread and butter issues, I still have to endure unnecessary mental stress. Problems which were never mine became my fault. I'm a human being trying to be superman for the past 25 years and I'm so sick and tired of it.

All I want is a SIMPLE life and I hate it when people complicate my life. Enough is really enough!!!!

Clapping Hands

PD says he is pretty fast on his motor skills, usually babies can clap hands at 8 months old. He mentioned that waving hands will be the motor skill to be pick up.

Its pure bliss watching him grow!!!

Tooth Fairy planted 2 teeth!!!

Baby S started teething since 5 months old. Finally yesterday a small bit of the tooth erupted from the gum. I'm happy that his teeth are growing but I hate the teething process. They gets cranky, sick and go on milk strike......

Online Shopping - SeralaVogue

Shopaholics at it again!! Being a mother means I have lesser time at the shopping mall. Shopping with a baby ain't easy. Most of the time I will be hearing Baby S fussing when Im not even half done with the shopping. So online shopping is easier.

I bought a total of 4 dresses with SeralaVogue. The quality of the dresses is good and the cutting fits me very well. Most importantly all their clothing are sold at VERY affordable price. Its tough to find clothing for petite girls like me.

PS: One man's meat is another man's poison. Its suit me doesn't mean it suit everyone. Hence do your homework before purchasing online.

Family Shots

Finally we had our first official family shots. The DSLR camera give out beeping sound and an orange light as indication. This help to capture Baby S attention.

Pardon our messy hair cause we took this early in the morning.

Retail Therapy

It never fails to cheer me up. I took a "off" day and did some a lot of shopping for me and Baby S.

After knocking off I head to Supperclub flea market to do some shopping. Can really find lots of good stuff at affordable price. I bought 3 dresses which are below $20, a romper at $5 and a Naraya bag at $16.50.

After the 1st round of shopping, vain pot mummy went to do eyelash extension. Im going to get busy with transporting Baby S thru and for nanny's place. With this eyelash extension I can do w/o makeup and this will save me a lot of time in the morning. I also had a good 1 hour chat session(yes its all about our child) with my beautician.

2nd round of shopping was all out for Baby S. Got him some utensils, socks, rompers, DVD and cereal. All these cost me $160++.

Retail therapy is good for the soul but bad for the pocket.



Bought from Mothercare. I love their products especially their rompers and socks.


$5 bucks only!! What a good deal!

FairPrice Promotion - Big Savings For Little ones

CK came over my place today and bought me a packet of Pampers. I'm going to purchase a a packet of Drypers as my neighbourhood FairPrice does not sell Fitti Basic.

Busy especially with sick bug

Sorry for not updating the blog for 1 whole week. I was very busy lately with the same old thing(work, housework chores, baby and etc.). Never mind I'm always very busy. Haiz....

Well things didn't get any better with sick bug sticking to us like superglue. I was sick 3 weeks ago, when I thought I was fully recovered, I started to sneeze and cough again. While the runny nose was easily controlled under the new medication and nasonex, the cough was not a very serious one but is with me for 1 week and is still with me. >.<"'

Granny A had blood pressure rose to a scary level so she took a day off and I also had to take a day off from work to look after Baby S.

Baby S is sick, VERY sick...... I was the one who pass the nasty virus to him. He started with minor cough, on Wednesday early morning, 3am, I realised he was running fever and he was coughing very badly. Quickly give him panadol and cough syrup. Fever and cough subsided during the day but came back with runny nose in the evening. So we brought him to the nearby GP and was given medication for runny nose and reducing of phlegm.

When I was changing his diaper, I spotted some blister on his butt. I thought it was the normal diaper rash but it got worse the next day. Google the net and understand that blister at the butt is one of the symptom for HFMD. After checking with bestie and cousin, best solutions is to rush him to PD.

According to Dr Teo, the blister on his butt look like those HFMD blister. Dr Teo suspect he might have contracted both HFMD and cough virus or he probably had only cough virus and those is only bad diaper rash that are cause by poor immune. He told us to monitor for 2 days for more rashes, if there are more rashes spread to other area than its confirmed Baby S down with HFMD. We were told to stay home for these few days. We left the clinic with more medicine.

Luckily today there isnt any new rashes appearing, we are hoping the same for tomorrow. His fever and cough is slightly better today. I hope he get well soon. It pain me to see him being sick.
