Stock Option Investment

Some of my friends had recently made a lot of money from investment, and I am tempted to join in as well. But the thing is, I have no idea about stock option or investment funds. Even if I have the money to invest, I have no idea which one to get either.

Thus, a stock option screener might be great in helping me out in finding, comparing, analyzing and making money on stock option exchange. The best thing is, if you are getting it from PowerOptions, you will get a 14-day free trial and an easy online user guide to help you through.

Even if I am tempted to make more money, but I better don’t invest now until I know more about share options. If not, it’s more like a gambling to me.

When They Are Sleeping…

I like watching my kids sleeping soundly in the room, while I’m doing my blogging work. Sometimes, I can just sit by them and listen to their rhythmic breathing. I have only been a mother for more than 2 years, but I feel that these past 2 years went by really fast.

Maybe 20 years from now, they will be leaving my side and go further study elsewhere. I will definitely miss these days when I can feel them sleeping by my site. Gee….what will I do when my kids leave the home? I got to get a dog huh? And keep myself busy with dog grooming or knitting, baking, shopping…..

If not, I go make another baby a few years later to keep myself company. :P

Cleft Lips and Palate

 I asked my mom to fix one of Justin’s pant which I bought, but the waistline was too loose. When she was mending the pants, she told me that now only she knew what is cleft lips and palate. Previously, old folks thought that the mothers must have used the scissors, or done some sewing so that the baby had to suffer from this type of defects.

But nowadays, most people are well informed about this birth defect, especially after Faye Wong’s baby was delivered. Anyway, we can always get help from cosmetic surgeon when the baby has grown up. The babies are not asking for this, they are also innocent.

Modeling

 Many years ago, when I was shopping at Komtar with my friends, one of the lady approached me and asked if I would like to go for a modeling audition. I honestly told her that I couldn’t make it as I was still studying in JB. And when I got home and told my mum, the first thing she told me was, “Luckily you turned her down, later you get con only you know!”

See, this is the first perception about star hunt because there are lots of cases in which young girls have been cheated. Anyway, I don’t have a modeling dream as well since young, and I’m not interested. But if you really have the interest in modeling, you can try setting up an online modeling portfolios. However, please bear in mind that while the model may look gorgeous on stage, there are a lot more who didn’t make it too.

Sunway Carnival

I wanted to get some flour and margarine for baking, so we went to the new shopping complex nearby, Sunway Carnival. Before we reached there…

Justin: Mommy, where we go?

Me: We are going to Sunway Carnival.

Justin: Why Sunway “carbibor”? I don’t want to go there. Go Billion lah.

Me: No, we are going to the new one, Sunway, see if it’s good or not.

Justin: Yee yeah, no good one. I want go to Billion….

However, it was really crowded and I can’t find the food section either. Why? Once my kids saw the kiddie playground, they refused to leave! So, my mum and I stood there watching them having so much fun. But we brought them home as they were hungry. I couldn’t find a nice place to eat because of the crowds, and we headed back for dinner. After dinner, hubby brought us there again as Justin wanted to play at the place.

Me: Justin, want to go to Billion right?

Justin: No, not Billion, go to Sunway.

Me: I thought you said Sunway not good? You said Billion is better?

Justin: No, Billion not good, Sunway is good.

Hahaha! Changed so fast!

I took lots of photos of them having fun in the kiddie house…

Big Big Butt

One of the disadvantages of blogging is that I’m sitting at my PC more often than ever. Luckily I’m still breastfeeding, if not, I will definitely be worrying about my butt and tummy. Too much sitting is very bad for my curves!

That’s why I forced myself to go for yoga at least once a week. I am one of those lazy students that “tao gong kam liu”, just do a few sets, but not everything. But as long as I move my body, I feel like I’m working on it and less guilty of fixing my butt in front of the PC.

Unless I can afford an Albany liposuction, then big butt and tummy should not be a worry to me. :P

Isabelle: 14 months Old

I’ll measure her height and weight once I get back to Ipoh!

She is getting more and more like me, especially the way she likes shopping and “ban leng leng”. I think she is going to be as vain as the mommy once she grows up!

Her ulcer has recovered, and I’m getting more careful when I’m taking care of her. I don’t want her to fall so badly again and risk herself from the bad cut and bruises, if possible. She’s learning how to run right now, but she is still trying to balance herself when she’s making the bigger steps.

Until now, she only knows how to say papa. Other than that, she uses sign languages like milk, eat, water, some more, hat, comb hair and others. Maybe I’ve always been taking care of her, so I know what she wants when she moves her hands and fingers. I’m trying to encourage her into expressing verbally, but she is still not interested in talking.

Sometimes, I think she plays like a boy as an influence from Justin and hubby. But she has her feminine side too, when she is playing with her baby doll. I will capture the way she plays with her doll one day, but it’s not easy to be done now as she is very conscious with the camera. Once I take out the camera, she will shy away or wants to play with my camera instead. Taking her photos is not as easy as before now.

She likes to pick up smaller stuffs from the floor, but nowadays, she is getting lesser at putting them in her mouth. She will normally gives them to me, or throw them in the laundry basket or waste paper basket. After we changed her diaper, she likes to throw them away by herself. But I’m still very cautious about smaller things in the house. If I see stuffs like Lego, cordless phone battery, pencil leads, erasers, or anything with can go through the hole of a toilet roll, I will definite put them away ASAP.

She is still on breastfeeding, and doesn’t like the taste of formula milk. Sometimes, she will take about 4oz of formula milk when I’m not at home. At other times, she will rather snack on other food and waits for me to come home and nurse her. I am in process of weaning her off by supplementing her, but there is no hurry. We are taking our time in weaning off together as I know I will miss nursing her…

Oh ya, about potty training. Just now, when I was nursing her lying down, she quickly let go and went down from the bed ASAP. Once she got down from the bed, she peed!!!!! Wah! She has beginning to show some signs of being able to hold her urination for a few seconds and aware that she cannot pee on the bed. That is a great progress!

Bruises and Cuts

Today, Isabelle bumped her head against the edge of the altar at my mum’s place. She has just recovered from her cut and now she has a boo boo on her head. Gee….

My mum asked me not to let her walk around with things in her hands, especially those that she can put in her mouth like spoon, toothbrush, writing pens, chopsticks, and other fine long objects. She told me that there was a news about a girl being killed because she accidentally poked a chopstick into her throat. When I heard that, I got goosebumps immediately.

Maybe I’m being overprotective and worried too much, but Isabelle has been falling down a lot until I’m so scare of her getting hurt again.

The same goes to Justin. He falls down sometimes, but at least he knows how to express himself and tell me how he falls. Just now, he fell in the lift when we were getting back from shopping. Poor boy….

Haiyo, so hurt to see them getting hurt….

Never Ending Comparison

 Sometimes I got very annoyed when others were comparing my kids. One of the remarks which I hate to hear is how they compare Justin and Isabelle’s nose because Justin has taller nose since birth, a bit like those ang moh type. But Isabelle didn’t have it, but she still looks pretty to me.

When I’m in the good mood, I will ignore those remarks. But when I got fed up of it, I will act lansi and tell them that “So what, as long as there is plastic surgery, small matter mah. Just go to Northern Virginia rhinoplasty and get it done lah!”

Normally, other people will be taken aback when I said something like this. :P

Yes, I know it’s rude, but it’s effective in stopping them from comparing my kids, so I like doing this once in a while. LOL!

About Orient’s Voice

Ok, I didn’t complain about the gathering when I posted about it yesterday. But frankly, the gathering was lousy. I was expecting to see some blogger mommies there, but none of the Penang blogger mommies attended, except Lilian. I was very disappointed and the gathering sucks as it makes me feel so boring…..Maybe the organizers are inexperienced and all the bloggers who are attended were very young. Of course, Lilian told me that they were plucking Kenny Sia’s body hair, but sorry lah, I’m not interested to see if I left and went shopping.

I thought the gathering will be like something the one they had in KL, which I missed it. Now, I regretted so much why I didn’t attend that. I think I miss the objective of the gathering, or maybe the organizers have other things on their minds about the it, and made it into “Meet Kenny Sia” function? LOL! Kenny is great, but the gathering is sucks. That’s all.

Hopefully, Nuffnang will do some market research for great organizers next time, and if the next gathering is for youngster, I better don’t go.
