Before I became a mom, I thought I’ll feed my baby with chinese medicine like those people around me, especially my hubby’s side of family. It’s usual to see babies or kids taking “Keng Fong San”, “Hor Cho San”, “Qing Hor Yun” etc on regular basis.
After I read those treads from mymomsbest.com, I decided […]

I was watching Oprah Winfrey’s talk show last night about Brooke Shields’ post partum depression in her book Down Came The Rain with hubby last night, and made me think of my uni friend who has just given birth weeks ago.
We talked over the phone days ago, and at first I only thought of […]

I hate it when Justin got sick, not because he’s more moody or cranky, not due to feeding medicine. Whenever it’s time to take his medicine, he’ll cry and struggle when he sees me with the syringe. Sometimes I really need someone to hold him while feeding, as he’s an older baby now and […]

Justin started to cough today. This is the second time, and I know why it happens. He goes for his morning walk outside the house with my maid or MIL every morning. For the last few days, Ipoh’s getting hazy. And with a construction just metres away, the air is really bad at my […]

After yoga, a bunch of si lai were gathering at one corner talking about our body after giving birth.
Si Lai #1: See my belly button? Ugly already, got bigger and all wrinkle up, so ugly.
Si Lai #2: See this? I got stretch marks, so “yok sun”, can’t get rid of them with all […]

I dread the idea of going to any government offices because it takes me a long time to do my things, and most kakak there are quite garang to “leng soh” like me who knows nothing much about the procedures.
But today, I changed my perceptions. Went to Suruhanjaya Syarikat Malaysia to register my company, and […]

I told hubby that I have a blog, and he didn’t say much about it until today. He came into the study room and saw me uploading Justin’s photos, and he doesn’t like it. He worries about how unsafe it is placing photos on cyber. I haven’t thought much about uploading photos because lots of […]

Mommy’s school children went to Taiping Zoo today, and mommy brought me along. It’s really sunny and hot, but I refused to wear my cap. I hate wearing cap, it spoils my hair.
We went in daddy’s car as mommy wants to fasten me up in a car seat and my cousins were going along too. […]

I seldom place Justin in a playpen which is placed downstairs since there’s a mattress on the floor just beside the playpen. But I moved the playpen to my room as I can’t carried Justin along single-handed doing things in my room anymore. He’s really getting heavier and my shoulder is getting sore.
So I tried […]

My kindy planned for a trip to a factory and to Taiping Zoo this Saturday. Since we’re going, my friend suggested that her kindy will join in as well. It’s ok with us as each kindy school teachers will have to take care of our own children but we’ll help each other out to overlook […]
