Eating Alone

17 Mar 2010 by

I went for lunch on my own just now, and it’s nice to have a quiet and peaceful meal, without any disturbance. I went for Chinese food, and it’s been many moons since I last stepped into this restaurant. I won’t say that it has the best Chinese food in town, but it’s not too bad. I even had a little dessert all by myself. LOL!

I didn’t get any dim sum though. I would surely need fat burner pills if I still go for dim sum, main course and dessert!

No Time for IPL

17 Mar 2010 by

After my first IPL, I haven’t had the time to go for the second treatment. I’m not sure if I should sign up the course too because I will be too busy to go to the clinic as appointed by the dermatologist. Maybe I will postpone the treatment until I have a better idea on how to handle my work.

Right now, I shall stick to my regular skincare, and hopefully the spots won’t get worse or I will get more fine lines. I should probably click here to learn more about wrinkle treatments. What to do? I’m not one of those who are born with “tien sang lei jiak” genes la…

Hubby Needs Muscles

17 Mar 2010 by

Both our kids weigh at 20 and 16 kg respectively. But some times, they want daddy to carry both of them together, at the same time. Thus, hubby has to carry each of them in one arm and walk around for quite some time. By the end of the day, he might have a back ache. LOL!

I think he needs to build more muscle, if he’s going to continue carrying both kids at the same time. Maybe he will find these muscle milk reviews useful.

From Loving Food to Picky Eater

16 Mar 2010 by

My gal, if you know her since baby, you would agree that she’s a good eater. She ate everything, anything, every time and any time of the day. When she was a baby, everyone thought that she didn’t have enough from my breastmilk. She was fully on breastmilk until 15 months, and I started supplementing her with formula in process of weaning her off. She had no problem taking solids after 6 months old, and started spoon feeding herself by one. She was eager to join others at the table, and she could easily eat on her own, maybe ask for more, and might be the last to leave the table when everyone was done.

She was not chubby, but she ate a lot. In short, meal time was a bliss with our little Isabelle.

BUT…things changed.

NOW, she’s a picky eater. Dinner is a stressful moment for us as she will start to complain even before she takes the first bite. She will tell us IT’S NOT THE RIGHT RICE, even if we have been taking red hom mali rice for 2 years. She will tell us the veggie is not nice, and it’s not broccoli. She will nag that we give her too much in her bowl, even if there are only 2 spoon full of rice, with some veggie, a piece of meat or fish and some egg. Bla bla bla…

kidschange

That’s how sorrow she is, having to take her dinner. Sigh…

After a long day at work and coming home to prepare the dinner, handling a fussy eater can really test my patience. She can sit there, cry, eat a bit and fuss a lot for more than 30 minutes. Even after hubby’s finished the dishes and I’m done cleaning up, her plate is still FULL. In the end, hubby will just let her go. KEK SEI NGOR la.

Will the gong gong and po po come and handle this fussy kid for me? Beh tahan jor…

Demonstration

13 Mar 2010 by

I know that the news back home sound quite worrying about the condition in Bangkok, but we are all fine here. It was quite peaceful in my area, even if the riot started yesterday. The red spots are all listed, so as long as we stay away, we will be alright. Something about Thailand is, they will list the date, venue, time, number of protesters and etc before any demonstration. They can demonstrate “peacefully” and those red areas are closed down to cars and common users, mostly. So, they won’t just simply attack any citizens. :P

There are a few demonstrations ever since we moved here, but we still don’t have plan to move back. We still love it here, funny huh? LOL!

Hubby has just got a new job and he should start working next week. His new boss will keep him updated as the office is located in one of the hot spots. I will be very busy start from Monday, without my mentor behind my back anymore. The new sales is coming in too, and I’m still very blur on how to explain everything to her. Sigh…It’s language barrier, how to translate the technical terms in Thai? LOL!

I’ll see how I can juggle the work, kids, house chores, and driving around all in one. Let’s see if I will go insane or I will survive these changes.

Our House

13 Mar 2010 by

I love my neighborhood. It’s quiet, peaceful, and the kids have lots of friends here. Most of the neighbors know that I can’t speak much Thai, so some of them speak to me in English. There are 2 Indian families here who have stay in Bangkok for more than 10 years, and I always meet the mothers at the playground. We have no language barrier, so we chit chat to each other mostly. Their kids love to come to my house too, and usually turn my place upside down. *slap head*

Our landlord stays in Japan, and she has asked us a few times if we would like to buy the house. Frankly, I don’t. I feel that the house is too small for us, and I can see some crack lines at some part of the house now. Most of the houses here have this problem, and I realized this after visiting a few neighbors’ houses.

If possible, I will try to settle Justin’s primary school first, then get another house in that neighborhood. There are a lot of home plans in this area, and it’s all depending on our budget. We have checked out a few house plans, and our favorite one is the one near to my office. But the gated community is too remote, and it’s too far from any of our desired school. Sigh…

But before we can set eye on any house plan, we need to build up our company first. We can only purchase the house with company’s name, as foreigners can only own condominiums but not landed property. That’s why hubby passed everything to me and said that our dream house is depending on me now. O.o

How stressful…

Isabelle Hates Veggies

04 Mar 2010 by

Isabelle hates veggies. I tried almost every method I have read and heard, but it’s not working at all. She only loves broccoli and corn, but not the rest. She takes a bit of veggies only after a lot of persuasion, or because I scare her that she will have lousy skin next time, and need the best acne treatments.

The bad mommy always uses daddy as the example. Hubby has some ache scars, so I will tell her that she will look like daddy, if she’s not eating veggie and taking good care of her skin. This threat is not working all the time, but some times it does.

Sien la, why my gal doesn’t like veggies leh?

SEO Software

04 Mar 2010 by

I gave up on making money from my blogs. Most assignments are given, and I stop checking the networks. You give me then I do la, if not never mind la. LOL!

I don’t care much about pagerank too. So, forget about SEO. But if you are still into blogging, click here to get free seo software. Getting a good ranking in search results might help in Adsense earning. For me, I gave up on Adsense too. :P

Fat FIL

04 Mar 2010 by

My FIL is pretty fat. He eats a lot and he can’t go on diet. For his age, he might be too old for fat burner. So, he’s trying to take more veggies and oat instead of rice now. I bet with him last year that if he can lose some weight and put on his old pants, I would give him a treat of Japanese food. But then, he failed. LOL! He’s supposed to lose 2 inches on his waist but he only lost 1kg.

Now, he dares not put any bet with me anymore. LOL!

Better Complexion

04 Mar 2010 by

Some said that my complexion looks better ever since I moved to Bangkok. I felt the same too. Even hubby’s complexion is improving, considering that he’s not using acne lotion and sunblock regularly. I’m not sure what’s the reason though, especially since both of us like to go sunbathing once in a while. Maybe it’s the water we drink here? LOL!

I’m supposed to see the dermatologist tomorrow, but the kids leave school at noon. So, I can’t make it for my second IPL treatment. Furthermore, I’ve just found out that I have a SME seminar tomorrow. Sigh…another busy day.
