Lomomo on Lomo

2011-08-20T12:34:00.005+08:00

Back to manual bah...

It started when a friend of mine Baizurah post an album about her new obsession over Lomo. I didn't know anything about Lomo but her new pink Diana Mini "en rose" was super cute. I wanted one too.

Diana Mini En rose

So I started researching about lomo and lomography... and even joined the LOMO Sabah. Luckily one of my distant relative was the admin, and I asked Morris what would be the best toy camera for a beginner like me.

This is what he wrote to me :

LC-A tu made by original 'LOMO' - LOMO (Russian: ЛОМО́) or Leningrad Optical Mechanical Amalgamation (Ленинградское Oптико-Mеханическое Oбъединение) of Russia.

Kebanyakan toy/lomography cameras skrang commercialized under Lomography (bukan LOMO). tapi since dia Lomography, orang still panggil 'lomo'. actually real LOMO tu yang macam di atas sa tulis tu.

about Holga 135BC, sa rasa dia under Lomography product suda. China/Taiwan gitu. lens dia plastic. settings pun kurang. unlike LC-A, body dia compact, Minitar lens (russian glass lens), settings pun ko buli control.

kalau LC-A+ pula, dia made by Lomography. kira commercialized juga la. so lagi mahal. dorang buat market bah. mau cari untung. hehe.

kalau ko mau spend extra, LC-A la the best untuk mau dapat effect2. vignetting (black corner) dia kuat. "

bagus oh si Morris...

For about a month searching for a good 2nd hand LC-A at ebay... finally I got myself an LC-A, all the the way from Russia...super excited!!

My lomo lc-a

so here's a few photos from LC-A

Kastam affair

2011-08-15T18:07:00.003+08:00

I bought some dresses for myself on ebay & seperti biasa I ordered not more than RM500, having a lot of babywearing mommies with online ordering, so I know. Sekali today the custom called me(using handphone) & said my barang kena tax " Barang kamu kena tax ya, tapi sikiiiiit sajalah". Then I said "Saya tidak order sampai RM500 pun" so the officer suruh bawah invoice. So I did brought the invoice, and told me that I still need to pay 10% tax.

ME:"kenapa? yang saya tau dalam rules kastam harga barang + postage tidak melebihi RM500 tidak kena tax".

Kastam:"mana u tau?".

Me:"Saya baca di internet lah…."

Kastam:"Tapi kami memang ada tu peraturan kastam CIF, yang kamu kena tax"

ME:"Apatu CIF?"

Kastam:" CIF = custom value+insurance+freight."

Me:" tapi barang saya manada kena insurance, yang saya tahu saya guna priority mail tanpa insurance”

Kastam : “ ya saya tahu, kau mesti tambah sendiri…”

Me:”kenapa mau tambah? Bukan sudah sampai ka?"

Kastam : “ ini memang termasuk dalam CIF yang kamu mesti kena tambah insurance ”

Me:"kenapa sebelum ni barang macam begini juga saya order tidak kena tax, ni kali kena?"

Kastam:"Kami mengenakan cukai bergantung samada keperluan sendiri atau bukan..."

Me:"Tapi ini memang kegunaan sendiri..."

Kastam:"Kegunaan sendiri maksud 3 pasang baju, 3 pasang seluar & 1 pasang kasut" lebih dari tu kami akan kasih cukai lah...

me: (macam cukai di airport ja ni?) kalau begitu saya mau tengok kertas atau buku kamurang yang barang saya ni kena cukai...

(I wanted to argue further, but I guess he got tired with me and ask me to see his higher officer to get more answer. He asked me to take my invoice & take my box to the officer.)

Me: "Hi, saya mau tau kenapa barang saya kena cukai.."

Pegawai Kastam:"Sebab barang kamu bercukai lah..."

(DUH!!! that is the most silliest answer I get from a Pegawai, he even put a silliest grin to come with that answer. yang macam dia paling tahu semua.)

Me:"Tapi yang saya tau, kalau tidak melebihi rm500...tidak kena cukai"

Pegawai Kastam:"oh itu di airport saja...sikit saja tu 10%"

(WHAT!!??? We are talking money here...!!)

Me:"Tapi ada juga saya order barang yang sama last week sampai, tapi tidak kena cukai..."

(.....he ignored me, there was silence in that room, he was reading something on his table like a report or a memo, i thought maybe he malas mau layan saya juga. After a loooong silence he called the officer who dealt with me earlier to come into the room.

The officer came in and offered me a seat, yes I've been standing all this while with my big box. Itu Pegawai tidak pun offer sia duduk awal-awal..i guess maybe dia nervous juga?or being plain arrogant.

... they discussed something about my situation but i could not concentrate because Gaga was pestering about a santa clause game on my phone.

Oh rupa-rupanya he was actually reading on the about the custom duties order. Odoi...baru mau cari & baca...I guessed he found the statement about the custom duties, then he passed it to the officer to read it, saya pun kasih panjang leher mau baca lah... there it is, written there with bold font "...CIF tidak melebihi RM500.00 akan dilepaskan..." the officer took the calculator and did "494 + 1% = 498.94"... still under RM500. At that particular moment, I feel ... I dunno how to explain...angry+joy, but I know I am ready to fire back if they still want to tax me.

Kastam:"OK ni kali barang kamu kami kasih lepas..sebab kami mau cari lagi pasal tu butiran 127 & 109"

Me:"Bah lain kali sia order online lagi, saya baca juga pasal tu butiran...butiran apa sudah tu? 127 & 109?"

Kastam:"Tidak apa, nanti kami yang cari..."

budu punya kastam...ketara tu duit masuk poket.

more about barang tahan kastam on http://bicarahati.com/tahanan-kastam-pejabat-pos/

Did you know > Tatacara penilaian harga bagi barangan Import adalah berasaskan Sistem Penilaian Kastam Pertubuhan Perdagangan Dunia (WTO) bagi mencapai nilai CIF (Cost, Insurance & Freight).

CIF < RM500, means Harga Belian (Cost)+ Insurance (1% keatas harga belian) + tambang (Freight) tidak melebihi RM500 akan dilepaskan. Jika CIF melebihi RM500, 10% tax akan dikenakan.

Paitung memaitung done right...

Don't you hate it that the BB creams only come in one or two shades only, and both also seems to be too light for most of us malaysian skins... Last time I did not care less about it, asal BB cream...pakai ja, until DH said to me "Lain juga kau paitung muka kau tu...ndak cantik"......punya pedas rasa diaaaaa!!

So one day, I read this tip somewhere about base foundation, where base foundation is not for you to look white"r" but to conceal uneven skin & blemishes and to look for color exactly your skin. The trick is.... to mix it with darker foundation. so so simple!!!

this is me without any kind of foundation.

I ran out of BB cream so I used SASA HD Perfect foundation for replacement.

04 Golden Beige, it is the darkest of all four shades and yet still too fair for my skin tone.

after I put the only the foundation... punya putih!!!

To solve this whiteness problem.. I mix it with darker foundation..

i use e.l.f tinted moisturizer spf 15, toffee (tone 4) the darkest tone. It is so small perfect for travelling and only cost freaking usd1 !!! Gila murah!!

mix them up together...

after mix both foundation. Better??

and continue main mekap-mekap...

and I'm ready to go...

My favourite Ring slings

2010-08-07T22:05:00.009+08:00

I promised long ago to blog about ring slings...so here it is

Here is my ring sling stash...and I'm gonna tell you why I have them all and they are so pretty!!

1. Comfy Joey - Spun Sugar

A true newborn ring sling. Made from an airy blend of linen and cotton, the single layer sling softens up quickly with a little use and washing, just like your favorite luxury bed linens. Love it!!

2. Mamapatch Shantung silk - Pink Rose (sold sudah)

The V-shape tail flatters you...great for weddings/special occasions.

3. Upmama hybrid - Raspberry Red (sold sudah)

The UpMama is made of soft, strong cotton sateen with just a touch of stretch for comfort. Hybrid means the benefits of the pouch design but has the flexibility of a ring sling.

4. SweetPea - Russet Koto

Its double layer cotton, because its reversible, quite tebal compared to linen of course but its so cantik, so I gotta have it!! hihi

5. Wrap conversion ring sling -Indio Scilla

This ring sling was made out of Didymos Indio Scilla wrap, Didymos is a baby carrier brand from Germany.

I have a thing with Didymos Indio..., for those who does not familiar with Didymos Indios, maybe thinks this just a looks like a boring pattern on a kain, but there is something about indio that made millions of wrap mamas go gaga over them.... I dunno what but it made me one crazy indio mama too.

6. Wrap conversion ring sling -Indio Blue/White dyed pink

OMG so cantik oooo!!! mine mine mine...

7. Psling - cotton candy sijira w/gold rings

punya happy si Gemma

Psling aaah Psling, the most luxurious baby slings from Japan, although it is super duper expensive, but its worth it....It's airy and breathable, supportive, comfortable, beautifully made ring sling and GORGEOUS GOLD RINGS!!

SIJIRA a traditional Japanese technique called Awa Sijira-ori (a method of weaving) which is usually used for making a cotton summer kimono (a yukata). The fabric is highly hygroscopic and breathable. Although made of cotton, it has cooling qualities similar to linen. You will be amazed that even in hot weather, the fabric breathes well and immediately dries.

8. Psling colors - sea green w/gold rings

I can't get enough of the gold rings!!

Storing my EBM

2010-07-23T10:38:00.005+08:00

A couple of mommas asked me how do I store my Expressed Breast Milk (EBM).

So here how I store it.

Firstly, pump.

Pumping takes about the same time as breastfeeding, but with practice and a good pump, it can be as little as 10 to 15 minutes.

Then, store it.

I sometimes use bottle to store at the fridge, not freezer, because I malas to thaw it...

But storing at back of refrigerator EBM only best up to 3 days.
Here I'm using Mom's Precious 5oz storage bottle.

I always freeze it, because it can last up to 3 months.

I use YHAB Breastmilk storage bag... most economical I can find so far, its Pre-sterilized and BPA- free.

Here how the storage bag looks like....can store up to 8oz.

Mark the date and time you prepared the breast milk.

I usually store up to each feeding per bag, not all that you pump...ebm can only be freeze & thaw one time...and cannot be refreeze... and storage bag must be dispose after use...

Then ikat.

I use a tie band for wires to ikat the storage bags...this can be found at Daiso.

This is how tie bands look like.

and you are done...!!!

Happy Breastfeeding mommas...!!

Direct translation of babywearing... I know it is a common sight here in KK especially penampang, mostly Donggongon & Poliklinik you see kampung-kampung mommas "sikut" their babies just using a sarung or that mesh pouch (kain lubang-lubang)/ cheap slings...

but if I jalan-jalan KK or shopping complex mostly using strollers...jaaaarang nampak mommas sikut anak di bandar kan.

Today, I want to promote babywearing and its benefits, here I just copy an article from Two Hips mom

Why Babywear?

10 reasons to Wear Your Baby

1. Wearing a baby is convenient
When we carry a baby in a sling, we can walk around freely and not have to worry about negotiating steps, crowds or narrow aisles with a stroller. Plastic "baby buckets" and removable car seats are heavy and awkward for parents, babies often look uncomfortable, and they are kept at knee level. A sling can block out excess stimuli when breastfeeding a distractible baby, and it allows for discreet nursing in public places. A sling can also double as a changing pad, blanket, or cushion when away from home. I've found my sling especially handy when negotiating busy airports with a small child and several bags!

2. Wearing a baby promotes physical development.
When a baby rides in a sling attached to his mother, he is in tune with the rhythm of her breathing, the sound of her heartbeat, and the movements his mother makes - walking, bending, and reaching. This stimulation helps him to regulate his own physical responses, and exercises his vestibular system, which controls balance. The sling is in essence a "transitional womb" for the new baby, who has not yet learned to control his bodily functions and movements. Research has shown that premature babies who are touched and held gain weight faster and are healthier than babies who are not1. Mechanical swings and other holding devices do not provide these same benefits.

3. Babies worn in slings are happier.
Studies have shown that the more babies are held, the less they cry and fuss2. In indigenous cultures where baby-wearing is the norm, babies often cry for only a few minutes a day - in contrast to Western babies, who often cry for hours each day. Crying is exhausting for both the baby and his parents, and may cause long-term damage as the baby's developing brain is continually flooded with stress hormones.3 Babies who do not need to spend their energy on crying are calmly observing and actively learning about their environment. Baby-wearing is especially useful for colicky or "high need" babies, who are far happier being worn, but placid, content babies and children will also benefit greatly from the warmth and security of being held close.

4. Baby-wearing is healthy for you!
It can be challenging for new mothers to find time to exercise, but if you carry your baby around with you most of the day or go for a brisk walk with your baby in her sling, you will enjoy the dual benefits of walking and "weightlifting". A long walk in the sling is also an excellent way to help a tired but over-stimulated child fall asleep.

5. Toddlers appreciate the security of the sling.
Slings are usually associated with infants, but they can be very useful for toddlers as well; most slings accommodate children up to 35 or 40 pounds. The world can be a scary place for toddlers, who feel more confident when they can retreat to the security of the sling when they need to do so. Toddlers often become over-stimulated, and a ride in the sling helps to soothe and comfort them before (or after!) a "meltdown" occurs. It can be very helpful in places like the zoo, aquarium, or museum, where a small child in a stroller would miss many of the exhibits.

6. Baby-wearing helps you and your baby to communicate with each other.
The more confidence we have in our parenting, the more we can relax and enjoy our children. A large part of feeling confident as a parent is the ability to read our baby's cues successfully. When we hold our baby close in a sling, we become finely attuned to his gestures and facial expressions. Many baby-wearing parents report that they have never learned to distinguish their baby's cries because their babies are able to communicate effectively without ciying! Every time a baby is able to let us know that she is hungry, bored or wet without having to cry, her trust in us is increased, her learning is enhanced, and our own confidence is reinforced. This cycle of positive interaction enhances the mutual attachment between parent and child, and makes life more enjoyable for everyone.

7. Slings are a bonding tool for fathers, grandparents, and other caregivers.
Slings are a useful tool for every adult in a baby's life. It makes me smile when I see a new father going for a walk with his baby in a sling. The baby is becoming used to his voice, heartbeat, movements and facial expressions, and the two are forging a strong attachment of their own. Fathers don't have the automatic head-start on bonding that comes with gestation, but that doesn't mean they can't make up for this once their baby is born. The same goes for babysitters, grandparents and all other caregivers. Cuddling up close in the sling is a wonderful way to get to know the baby in your life, and for the baby to get to know you!

8. Slings are a safe place for a child to be.
Instead of running loose in crowded or dangerous places, a child in a sling is held safe and secure right next to your body. Slings also provide emotional safety when needed, so that children can venture into the world and become independent at their own pace.

9. Slings are economical.
Slings cost far less than strollers, front-carriers or backpacks. Many mothers consider the sling to be one of their most useful and economical possessions. Inexpensive used slings can be found in consignment and thrift stores, and new ones can be bought for about $25 -$50 (U.S.) not bad for an item many parents use daily for two years or more!

10. Baby-wearing is fun.
Who doesn't love to cuddle a precious little baby? And when your baby is older, having her in the sling makes conversations easier and allows you to observe her reactions to the wonders of the world around her. It's also fun for baby, because when she is up at eye level, other adults notice and interact with her more. Your child will feel more a part of your life when she is in her sling, and you will find yourself becoming more and more enchanted with this special little person.

OK, let's move on the fun part..fret not modern mommas, babywearing is a cool thing...butul ni!!!

There are different types of baby carriers,

1. Pouch
"The most simple to use, fast in, fast out, sleek style with no extraneous fabric. And, they come in hip, cool, prints! Pouches are our favorite baby sling for quick in and out. They must be sized to the individual, Also, sizing is important, so most sling or pouch style carriers can't be shared amongst adults of different sizes. Some people find them uncomfortable for long wearing since they go over only one shoulder."

My first babywearing experience is using pouch, my first ever baby carrier from Karmababy Bella , I love it for a short trip...pigi bank or supermarkets. I can just pop in my baby and go...
but dulu-dulu from my 1st baby this is one and only carrier I have and know of...so mana-mana pun saya bawa...

I can't leave without my pouches...i love em so much and still do.

Until when I got pregnant with my second baby, I was introduce different kind of babycarriers, thanks to Farrah's babywearing entries, saya pun terjangkit...

2. Ring Sling
"The ring sling has all the benefits of the baby pouch or sling style, but it's adjustable – meaning both mom and dad can wear it once they learn how to use it. The tail of the sling can be used as a cover up for nursing.."

I love the ring sling because they're beautiful, i felt so elegant wearing it..chewah!!
Last weekend I wore my Mamapatch shantung silk RS to a wedding reception and perasan diri sya cantik pakai tu ring sling lagitu...muahaha!!

Erin... this is Willow

3. Mei tai/Asian carrier
The mei tai is basically a rectangle of fabric with four straps, two for the shoulders and two for around the waist. The straps are criss crossed and tied for security. Your child's weight is supported evenly by both shoulders and your hips. Can be used on front or back. Occasionally used for hip carry.

Very comfy.. This mei tai have a very wide body panel 15", kang kang would impossible for newborn, so I "froggy leg" her...but there are so many different mei tais with contoured body panel, you can custom made it, so it fits you and baby nicely.

4. Soft Structure Carrier (SSC)
Soft-structured baby carriers are essentially mei tai baby carriers with buckles. They use buckles, rather than wrapping or tying the carrier to your body, which can make them quicker to fasten than mei tais. It has the side effect of making them less versatile, since the straps need to be adjusted when transferring the carrier between wearers.

Littlepods SSC is perfect for little babies, it has leg padding and can adjust the bottom panel so little baby can kang-kang in this carrier...not suitable for heavy toddler, because doesn't have a waist padding.

My new Action Baby Carrier, perfect to carry a toddler...

one for kenang-kenangan :)

and last but not least...

5. Wraps
The most comfortable; The most versatile; the best support for baby; Ergonomic support for both baby and the caregiver Studies show that wraps support the spine and hips better than any other carrier – especially for newborns. Many people who have back trouble report that the wrap is the only carrier they can comfortably use for long periods.
Cons:Lots of fabric. Can get hot. Somewhat steep learning curve (most people can learn at least one tying method in 15-20 minutes of practice).

Wraps can be quite expensive....bukan lagi quite, reeeaaallly expensive. but very comfortable. Before you try to buy a real wrap, you can buy a cheap fabrics to practice to and find your most suitable size...here's a few DIY wraps to practice before my real wrap arrive.

It made it easier...

2010-04-13T15:06:00.001+08:00

Compared to my 1st breastfeeding journey, my 2nd was easier...but the 1st week always the hardest part same like my 1st...but this time no stress at all...because I now it will come eventually, same method used makan sup papaya muda & "topis" jamu selapan on my nenen...

When Gemma was born, I'm so glad that she can latch easily on me...but the problem is I don't have gatas (susu) yet. So, when she breastfeed...she melekat like 30mins to 1hr pun boleh, then my nipple starts getting blisters, the pain everytime she latches...OMG!! PUNYA SAKIT!!!

When I went to the poliklinik to check up on Gemma's jaundice, one of the nursers saw my blistered nipple when I'm breastfeeding. So she took pity on me and asked me to pump my milk until my nipple heal, "Nanti tu baby hisap pula kau punya darah...bukan tu susu", I know she was right. For 1 week Gemma didn't hisap on me, we bottled feed her using my EBM(expressed breast milk).

This is where my Ameda electric breastpump come in handy, not only it save my time (took only 10mins for pumping session), it increases my milk production, seriously!!! I feel like producing milk for two babies...

Yes, This is my EBM stock, reaching 100packs I think, malas mau kira. My freezer penuh sudah...all the daging-daging/ayam-ayam/icecreams kena pindah to our 2nd fridge.

In case you've been wondering why a SAHM (stay at home mom) want to keep this much EBM?
Well, I wanted to stock it a bit for when emergency (palis-palis) happens, but this is not done intentionally. This is all engorgements, sakit tau nenen bengkak!!!

Now I am super ready to go for my sister's wedding in Ipoh & INDIA!!! (doi punya lama lagi bulan 10) :(

P/S Remember mammas positive thinking, stress free & happy thoughts is also an important role for producing milk. Happy breastfeeding!!!

Happy (for hubby because he doesn't have to wait in the labor room for 12hrs like the 1st delivery) and RELIEVED (for me, no more perut katat/gatal and contractions)

19th February 2010, I took my morning bath and suddenly noticed there's a clump of yellowish with a little bit of blood discharge...the texture of the discharge was not slimy but more like jelly... and I said to myself...."This is it Os"

I MMSed to my sis Didi, but she didn't reply me...she was super busy at work. I wanted to show it to Hubby, and MIL pun curious mau tengok...Then MIL said "Itulah tu tanda-tanda dia..."

Noon, I went to pee and saw a bit spotting, but no contraction or sakit perut yet. When I saw Gaga took his noon nap, I took the opportunity and joined him...manatau terberanak juga tonight or tomorrow, I need the energy.

2.00PM, I felt a teeny tiny bit pain at the lower back.

3.00PM, I felt a very very mild contraction, I didn't timed it...maybe about 15mins apart. MIL ask to drive her to Donggongon, to buy some groceries and minum kupi...

3.30pm, While sitting at the coffee shop eating roti susu, I noticed the mild contraction become frequent like less than 10mins apart...SMS my sis Didi and Josie and Hubby about the mild contractions.

4.00pm, doing the final checklist for the Hospital bag.

4.57pm, posted "mild contraction" at FB ;)

6.00pm, Didi called saying that she showed the MMS to her friend Dr.Anna and afraid that the discharge was not a discharge but the membrane and asked me to go to the hospital immediately to do check-up.

Took my bath and washed my hair (very important).

6.15pm, I can feel the contractions are getting intense but still bearable, I just stop from anything I was doing and concentrate on breathing...

I wanted to skip dinner, because I knew like my first..I would throw up the dinner anyways, but MIL insist, because my SIL bought some sotong bakar tumbuk...takut saya kempunan.

6.45pm, and we're off to Hospital Likas. Informed my mom & dad.

7.22pm, reach Hospital Likas and informed Didi. Asked us to wait for Dr. Anna at Bilik Penilaian Kemasukan Pesakit.

7.45pm, the nurses took pity on me when I was enduring my contractions. They registered me and asked me take urine sample and check baby's heartbeat.

8.00pm, still no Dr.Anna. One of the doctor in-charge came...

Doctor : Macam banyak kali sudah ni contraction kau, bagus sia check berapa sudah dilation kau..

Me : Doctor, kalau sia beranak ni malam, sia mau minta epidural ah..

Doctor : OK, nah sister kau boleh buat untuk kau lah tu...

Me : Eh? family member mana boleh bikin kan?

Doctor : Oh ya....

....checking on my dilation

Doctor : 5cm...

Whoah, 5cm already!!?? I thought baru 2-3cm, because I clearly remember on my first, I couldn't even bear the contraction pain when I was 4cm dilated.

8.15pm, Dr.Anna came
"...nah kan apa sia bilang" she said and called my sister,
"Uih...5cm sudah"......"siapa lagi..!!?? your sister lah"
"...and she wants epidural"

passed her phone to me..

Didi : Tidak payahlah tu epidural Os, kau tahan saja...tidak lama lagitu 6cm trus tidak sudah payah epidural tu, skijap saja tu.

Me : Uih ko gila...mesti sakit tu nanti kalau time beranak tu. Kasih lah Di...pleeeeaaseee!!!!

Didi : Kami betul-betul sibuk ni di sini Os, kalau ko mau 10.30pm baru lah.

Me : Hah!!!!! punya lama....please lah Di, sakit tu...

Didi : Bah nanti sia turun.

Me : Thanks Di.

8.50pm, different doctor came,

Me : Kamu yang bagi epidural? (with a wide smile face)

Doctor : Oh mau check dulu dilation tengok sempat bagi kah tidak ya, sebab mau dekat satu jam since kena check dilation.

Me : Kasih sempat lah doctor...

Doctor : 6cm.....macam tidak sempat epidural ni. Nurse put her into the labor room NOW!!!

In the labor room, the contractions was getting unbearable, I was practically pulling my hair to tahan sakit. Breathing technique was totally out...

Me : Nurse kamu tidak bagi ubat tahan sakit kah ni? jarum ka??

Nurse : Tidak. Itu dari arahan doctor saja tu....

What the H!!!!

One of the nurse check on my dilation again...."7cm...ooops" I felt my waterbag broke.

and they immediately called my husband to go into the labor room...

When the next contraction came, they asked me to push...I pushed and pushed...

Seperti biasa, the nurses and the midwife will motivate for me to push...but I felt so weird when the midwife said "Yes Suzie...push Suzie...GOOD!!!"

Suzie??? is she referring to me or my bobong?... "Bukan Suzie...Joyce!!" I think I corrected her a couple of times, bulih lagi tu nurse ketawa...

The labor room was so hot, I think they forgot to turn on the air conditioner earlier, I was sweating like crazy...but thanks to my dear hubby, berabis he lap-lap my peluh :) and also tolong sambut my muntah. Yes, as I predicted...I puked during my labor, but the good thing...right after I muntah, the midwife said I was fully dilated and I can push on full force.

...I pushed and I pushed like I want to berak..."Uih sakit oh..!!!", "Memang sakit" the nurse replied...finally the baby's head was out...then I gave one final BIG push....and she's out completely at 10.20pm. Actually it was 10.19pm to be exact, but kataulah kan kalau parents taik numbur.
Fuh...I never felt soooo relieved in my entire life!!!

I remembered on my 1st delivery that I can't imagine gone through another labor...but for this 2nd time, all I can say is...so cepat!! Is it maybe because its my 2nd? or kuat jalan/shopping sana bawa khemah? hehe...

I gotta say that I had the best midwife ever, even though she said my name wrong at the first place...but I can never do it that easy without her help and most importantly her motivations. Thanks Staff Nurse Winia.

and last but not least... for this 2nd delivery, I want to give myself a pat on my shoulder for doing it without any pain killers, tapi actually tidak sempat hehe...

My breastfeeding journey begin..

camwhoring...because he's too elated

I have red dots all over my face...my urat-urat pecah, because salah push, I use my face to push...thank goodness this is not permanent

Ok, I am hesitating to post my labor video, but for this blog and you guys sake...sia kasih post saja lah... Thanks to my sister Didi for capturing this priceless moment, even though guna handphone saja..

Someone said "Happy Mother's Day"...so funny!!!

YAY!!! Mission Completion...!!!

What I found at Pasar Donggongon

2010-02-14T12:11:00.002+08:00

I usually don't buy the 2nd hand pasar baju gantung... I always thought that is for the "polipin" or "oms" to shop...but couple days ago, just an ordinary routine day I went to buy my favorite honey peach milk shake and after that mau pigi "pok" jackpot saaaana toto, when suddenly I saw this one interesting longgokan of many longgokans...and I said to myself , "Is that what I think it is??..."

I found lots and lots of used diaper covers....and a good quality too...not PVC...but much like the Bummis super whisper wrap punya quality, and not only that....training pants and bloomers i think came all the way from Japan by the look of the tags....bukan juga tidak biasa beli CDs 2nd hand from FSOT (for sale or trade) kan... and mostly are GUC (good used condition), tapi mesti pandai kurik lah...hehe

So, saya pun, nah..!!! apalagi..!!! buka langkah...buka selipar...trus pigi bersila bawah khemah buat macam kadai sendiri, kurik sana...kurik sini, sampai berpeluh-peluh ... nasib tiada orang yang kanal nampak sia sana...hehe. After 1.5 hours... sikit lagi mau cramp kaki, and this is what I got....

Cover Diapers

cover diapers, RM5 each or RM10 for 3pcs...

tag written in japanese, I think this is size Small/medium...

Material is more exactly like Bummis super whisper...
Japan made cover diaper (RM5) vs US made Bummis Super whisper wrap (BSWW) (RM40++) cover diaper
I got the BSWW flower print at MiaBambina, she's having a sale tu skarang until 25th Feb...(nah sempat advertise lagi sini..)

the inside of the cover..

even got leg gussets..!!! BSWW tiada leg gusset...!!

have an opening both back and front to hold the prefold

BSWW only got at the front opening...

A very good deal indeed for a good cover diaper, and I only buy 3?? punyalah...!!!

Training Pants
I was planning to potty train Gaga soon and even mau beli sudah some training pants online...
Since there are lots and lots of training pants berdekatan dengan tu cover diapers punya longgokan.... i grab some lah!!

training pants boy prints, RM2 each or RM5 for 3 but I got RM10 for this lot...

and I manage to get girl prints training pants too....alang-alang bah!! lagipun its super duper cute..!!
I got RM10 for this lot...

Bloomers
and I got a few bloomers too...because its super adorable and RM1 each...
Bloomers are to be worn under a skirt or dress...so tidak nampak tu pampers ;)

I got RM10 for this lot too :)

these are my favorite bloomers with ruffles...

my most favorite of all is this red bandana bloomers....and can even match with the red bandana Babylegs I bought loooong time ago which I never get to wear on Gaga....so cute!!

I should get more of the diaper cover lah...nanti sia pigi lagi kurik mengurik lah ni...siapa mau join sia!!!?? ;)

Socks, Tights and Polkadots

2010-01-25T15:57:00.010+08:00

Yes, i'm crazy about socks and polkadots right now...thank goodness i'm having a girl this time...so i can go drool and go gaga all those cute little girl stuff..!!!

Remember the shoe socks entry...Yay for Bumblebee for having a Mary Jane in their socks pack product range...I Don't have to buy all the way from ebay to get them... I just bought these from Little Me, city mall.

32 weeks

2010-01-02T00:09:00.002+08:00

What??!! Less than 60 days more??...

So far I already did yang paling banyak kerja mau buat dulu, that is washing baby's clothes, wash and fold lampin and Pre-wash newborn Cds... pairing all the mittens & bootees, making sure the wipes & wash cloths is enough...

When i was neatly putting the baby's cloths into the drawers few weeks ago...my hubby said to me "Lamaaaaaa lagi bah kau beranak...neeeeext year!!" I just ignore him... I have a feeling this baby will come out early than the EDD.

Wah, so many things more to do...so little time!!! I need to get the baby cot ready, tilam, bantal & bantal paluk....hospital bag...wash and sterilize baby bottles and breastpump and a few pink stuff for this baby #2.

Talking about breastpump, I manage to get a few from my wishlist ;)...I hope I can get more of my wish list "done" ;)

As for my physical self, i'm glad that my feet hadn't swollen yet like my previous pregnancy, but my sister said my hidung kambang :(. At first, I denied that I have hidung kambang, but after I saw pictures of me during the christmas celebration recently...urgh!! I looked so bunting...

and I HATE LEG CRAMPS!!!!

2nd Trimester

2009-12-08T18:10:00.000+08:00

My 2nd trimester had passed just like that...punya skijap. Meaning..I have a smooth 2nd trimester.

My morning/evening sickness were gone, I can feel the baby is kicking, very active compared to Gaga...my armpits getting darker...so bida!! and so is my nipple(due to hormones that affect pigmentation of the skin) and its getting sore..I noticed that I already produce colostrum yay!!(when I picit, looks exactly like minyak). I'm so looking forward on the next breastfeeding, semangat oh kan!!

As I entered my 1st day of 3rd trimester, I had the most painful like something piercing right under my rib every time I took a deep breath or yawn...ouch!! I went to see the doctor next thing in the morning..and the doctor said, it is common during pregnancy and she can't do anything about it, I just have to control my breath saja.

Dr.B :"Jadi tahan sajalah tu sakit sampai beranak.."

(I'm like, WHAT!!!!??? )
Me :"Punya lama lagi sia mau beranak doktor!!, 3 bulan lagi..."

Dr.B :"Tidak juga bulih makan painkiller, kalau mau pun panadol sajalah...itupun tidak bulih makan banyak sangat.

Me : :(

Thankfully the pain subsides after 3 days...
Bring it on 3rd trimester...

Baby #2 Wishlist

2009-11-23T21:34:00.005+08:00

I should be doing this loooong time ago when Farrah tagged me on her baby #2 wishlist, but I thought last time I'm not pregnant on No.2 yet, so now I do lah...since I'm already preggy kan ;) Tapi kan, Farrah's wishlist macam best oh...so kebanyakan yang dia list, sia pun mau hihiihi...

This wishlist is mostly what I want, it is not importantly needed...but getting it would make me and baby no.2 life more easier ;)

#1. Bengkung/Girdle
Well, I regreted that I did'nt wear any bengkung on my 1st baby...my bulging tummy looks terrible... exactly like the belly bandit "before" picture...after my first delivery...soooo bida!!

I also read, wearing a bengkung is not just for kempis perut...it is also support your back and ease the backpain while breastfeeding. My back used to hurt a lot while breastfeeding because of the strain and positioning, so I prefer BFing laying down that sitting-up...oh my back!!!

I would love getting a good bengkung like Belly Bandit or Bengkung moden, but punyalah mahal!! Tapi for perut and my back sake...i should be getting one of these or just a slightly murah punya bengkung yang still works the same.

Belly Bandit and Bengkung Moden

#2. Electric Breastpump
I have a manual breastpump that was a hand-me-down from my sister. I was OK with a manual breatpumping, saya lagi yang SAHM, but with an active toddler and baby no#2...i think I should be getting the electric one with double pumping...save my time and no more sore hands!!!
I was eyeing the Ameda Lactaline or the Medela freestyle, but again...very the expensive!! Kasih lah saya strike jackpot ni kali...PLEASE!!!

Ameda Lactaline

Medela Freestyle

#3. Nursing Top
Remember when i blogged about just wearing a tube top under a regular shirt just enough for me. It's fine by me, until I saw one of my friend using a nursing top and breastfed her baby... she looked so effortless and the baby was so comfortable...I was like, wow!!! I have to get one of those nursing tops. I don't have to slide my shirt from the bottom all the way to the breast, because nursing tops have special secret layer, so the baby can easily access the nursing openings...

secret front layer...picture taken from Maternalove

#4. My best Friend Nursing Support Pillow
I could use a normal pillow, but this pillow looks promising....
"Helps you maintain good posture during feeding, preventing sore backs and necks"
wow!! I want ooo...!!

I saw this one mama can do hands free using this pillow juga....punya best

Hands free breastfeeding...

#5.Soft Structured Carrier (SSC) or Ring Sling
I only used sling pouch and never tried anything else..
Using SSC is great for outing or even do housework at home...and can even carry an older child in SSC.
Ring Sling...is also great for newborns and...santik!! hehe

JumpSacBaby Ring Sling carrying a newborn

#6.Baby Bouncer/Rocker
I would like to have this because of the mobility, perfect when visiting her Akung/Ina luyang or even lepak in living room, tidak lah terperap di bilik saja, plus bouncer’s calming vibrations soothe and comfort baby. I WANT!!!

Fisher-Price: Cover 'N Play Bouncer at myBBstore.com

#7.Girl print CDs
All those delicious girly printed CDs!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! AAAAARRGGGGGHHH!!!

Kissaluvs one-size fitted marvels and Bummis super whisper covers

Gro baby one-size printed

ittibitti brites

#8.Changing Table
3 words...oh my back!!!!

Syiok juga buat ni tag ooo hehe....oh i forgot my last wish...winning the lottery ;)

Satu pasang...

2009-11-17T10:47:00.000+08:00

I'm gonna be hearing more of this phrase in the future..:)

Yes, ladies...we're expecting a baby GIRL this time and I'm smiling from ear to ear.

I went for a scan yesterday and the doctor immediately confirmed it..."Can you see the 3 lines between the legs? that means bobong"...no he did not say that exactly lah hehe.

Those who read my previous blog on shopping online for baby cloths, already knew that I always complained that boys clothing don't have that much cute variety that girls clothing and I soooo want a baby girl. I'm gonna go crazy this time nYAHAHAHAHA!!!!...habis berlubanglah bank account saya (and hubby...hihihi)

Gaga's 1st barber visit

2009-09-20T16:06:00.004+08:00

Gaga just turned 18months and we decided that it is time for his haircut...mummy's "guntingan" makes him look like a girl :(

My MIL recommended us the Kedai Selamat at Buhavan Square Donggongon. I am quite nervous that Gaga's gonna be like giuk and restless, and ter"cut" his ear...and will cry. But fortunately the hairdresser's shaver was silent and Gaga was not even crying!!! He was kind of excited and smiling throughout the hair cutting process...

smiling at himself..;)

haircut begin...

his new hair cut...

Siku lover

2009-09-06T10:01:00.000+08:00

I remember my childhood that I love "gigit kumbang" everytime when i want to go to sleep, I can't sleep without my kumbang...me and my brother Oton shared this "comfort habits", bukan share kumbang ah!! My eldest sister Josie loves her bantal a.k.a "iying" and my youngest brother Lut was a thumbsucker + twiddles his rambut or my dad's hair.

My Gaga's comfort habits is siku, he loves elbows...!!! I dunno why, but he would rub it or pinch it. If i purposely bend my arm, he will force and straighten my arm so he can get the "kurudut" skin ;)

while sleeping..

i also like daddy's siku

while playing, I cari mummy's siku

while watching TV

i also like che-che Danik's elbow...

Hehe, cute kan...
Here, I present you a video of Gaga doing a little bit of MJ... enjoy :)

1st Trimester

2009-08-23T09:55:00.006+08:00

Lazy, tired, headache, sleepy, nausea, evening sickness, emotional, sensitive nose, cravings, feeling bloated, alot of burpings, the metal taste on the tongue and the list go on and on and on...

"Feeling sick is actually a good sign that your pregnancy hormone levels are high. This is produced in large quantities until your placenta takes over the job of maintaining and nourishing your baby at around 12 to 14 weeks. " babycenter.com

I should be happy that I feel sick, but to overcome the vomiting & nausea....urgh!!!
I had my 1st and worst sickness on my 9th week, i was vomiting the whole weekend until to the point that i'm afraid to eat anything...it's my fault actually that i was not careful with what I drink & eat.

It started when I had this registration appointment on friday morning at the Poliklinik. I rushed to the poliklinik and did'nt take any breakfast, that's my 1st mistake. The process of registration lasted until noon, I was sooo hungry i gobbled my lunch so fast until I was too full (2nd mistake). I'm so full the whole day, i skipped dinner (3rd mistake).

Saturday morning, I vomited twice, I thought maybe the morning sickness already kicking in. After breakfast, I felt sooo bloated, I wanted to burp but can't...so this silly mummy go and buy cola (4th mistake) and happily burps without thinking any consequences afterwards...Noon, we went to a wedding reception and all the food does not fancy me, so I only ate a little and drink more carbonated drinks (more mistakes). After wedding... went home...took a little nap.

Saturday evening, started feeling nausea and vomiting...then only I kelam kabut went to search online how to cure the sickness....thank goodness my hubby took pity on me and made a hot ginger drink (ginger is the best remedy for sickness in pregnancy). After a few burping and hours later, I felt better.

So now, my everyday drink is either ginger tea or ginger honey. I try to avoid gassy drinks, spicy and fried food. If I crave for cola...I just took a sip lah. Takut lagi jadi macam tu incident.

Looking forward for 2nd Trimester. Till then. ;)

New Ticker

2009-08-08T08:05:00.004+08:00

Yes...i am finally pregnant hihihi... about 11 weeks already now.

We're trying to conceive (TTC) since early this year. I had a false alarm once, I really thought I was pregnant, the test i took looked very positive, I mean the 2 stripes was so terang i immediately MMSed to my closest friends & family, and announced the supposedly "good" news to my family members...1o days later, Kuang kuang kuang...i got a bleeding...macam piriet lah. Well , its my fault I didnt confirmed it first with my obgyn doctor, trus announced to everybody.

About this 2nd pregnancy, i took my 1st test when im expecting my 1st day of mestrual cycle...yeah I know!!! i'm that desperate kan...

I actually had nightmares that someone thought that i'm pregnant already and I know that i'm not.. what they saw was my lunok only... :(

after a few weeks and 2nd test, 3rd test, 4th test fifth test... all positive..!!
What?? i'm sure all of you expectant mommas had more than 10 tests mah!!!..I really need to be sure this time..

I went to see my obgyn doctor, and wanted him to scan my tummy and to confirm that i'm pregnant...then he said "yes Joyce, you are about 5 weeks pregnant..." Yay!!!!

Itti Bitti D'lish Limited Edition

2009-06-09T23:30:00.008+08:00

Itti Bitti diaper is famous for its trimness and fluffiness... I wanted this diaper since i cant remember... what took me so long to buy this diaper is because im afraid i might get addicted to it since everybody said its their favorite diaper...

When itti bitti annouced their Limited Edition minky prints, Tiger, Moo moo, Pretty in pink polka dot, Sky blue polka dot and strawberry fields polka dot. I couldnt tahan any longer... i want it sooooooo badly....but have to order from Australia..Noooo!!!!!!!

months later, when lildanzel bringing in those limited edition diapers...im like..GILAA!!!! I WANT!!!!
So I bought 3 just to save on shipping :) Tiger, Moo moo and Sky blue polka dot...kalau bulih I want all 5 diapers but the other 2 is girly colours, I know i already have a tiger print diaper tapi size Medium bah, he tidak ngam already...and I want Moo Moo because I want lah...

Project DIY T-shirt

I love custom made things, but if you want someone to do it for you, it would be really costly.

So after a few googles on the internet, I finally found that we can DIY own t-shirt that doesnt cost that much...i'm so excited!!! Im so cheapskate oh kan tee hee hee...but hey, it's more fun doing you own t-shirt bah...

Project Name : Arsenal onesie with "ASING 1" print on the back

1. You need a Transfer paper, I bought this at ACI computer shop at Karamunsing.

2. A plain white t-shirt or garments, I got this onesie at F.O.S for rm8.00 and already put an iron-on Arsenal sticker ;).

3. Design your own logo that you want to print on your t-shirt.

4. Make sure you select "T-shirt Transfer" on your printer properties

5. Print

and you get this mirror image printed on transfer paper

6. Iron-on to the t-shirt

and voila!!
my little monkey trying to climb up the dressing table...

...
...
...

wait wait i'm not finish yet....
and of course my own "Team Edward" t-shirt ;)

(because he dazzles me frequently)

but after I saw the new New Moon trailer....I'm gonna make "Team Jacob" too...Jacob's "baadi" is soooooo hot!!!

Time to go shopping for more plain t-shirt/blouse at F.O.S!!!!!

Flamingo Mascara

2009-05-19T16:08:00.006+08:00

I first heard about this fabulous mascara from my friend Bai, when I saw her I thought she just got lash extensions done...i cant believe that just a mascara.

So I ordered one from a Beauty corner of pei2@lowyat.com and it only cost RM33!! Please be warned that there also imitation sold on this item, imitations from Malaysia are sold in Black Boxes and the imitations coming from Singapore are in White Boxes. The sticker printed on the box must have website on it, otherwise its fake.

original vs fake

comes in 2 tubes..

Transplanting Gel (the basic black mascara) and a tube of dry Fiber.

GILAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!! I dont even have to curl my lashes.
This is just the 1st cycle, You can increase to the length of your choice sampai jadi Snufflelufugus pun bulih , by repeating the process of mascara first then the fibers and coat again with mascara...

and best of all, it doesn't clump & doesn't smudge...

I've known about Baby Signs from a pamphlet Sandra distributed while I was buying cloth diapers from her. It is interesting to know that you can actually communicate with your baby as young as 8 months old.

"Using the Baby Signs^® Program …

Reduces tears, tantrums, & frustration
Allows babies to share their world
Strengthens the parent-child bond
Boosts babies’ self-esteem and self-confidence
Makes learning to talk easier
Stimulates intellectual development"

from Babysignmalaysia

Fortunately, there is a Baby Sign instructor one and only here in Kota Kinabalu and I quickly sign up with Ethel when Baby gaga turned 6 months.

For me, its not about getting him to be clever or anything but main reason is to communicate with him...

When Baby made his first "puppy" sign when he is about 10 months old, I was really really excited, and smsed Ethel straight away...he looked so cute when he did his sign...

this is Baby Gaga doing his favorite baby signs...

Go to your photos folder in your computer. Go to the 6th folder of photos. Go to the 6th picture in that folder. Put the picture on your blog and a description of it. Invite six friends to join the challenge. Link them in your blog and let them know they have been challenged.

Its my Christmas Eve dinner picture folder from last year, I think this photo is classic, but I dunno why I didnt put it up on my Christmas entry...
This photo was taken by Jag with his brand new super duper mahal digital SLR camera Canon 50D. It was Christmas Eve + my dad's birthday...my Dad gave a taste of his birthday cake to my baby Gaga.

I think this tag is the easiest, so if anyone want to do this tag...do lah..!!

Kawaii eyes

2009-03-12T23:13:00.006+08:00

If you've been following my blog since duuulu lagi, i did mentioned that Im short sighted. I didn't care much when I wore my glasses only when I attend class back then. As time goes by and after having my baby...I noticed that visions got more blurry without glasses...
And since I start driving, I really need my glasses...and I always always forgot to bring my glasses & have to go back to my room and get it...buang masa betul.
but what really bothers me is when now that I love makeups...its such a waste to put on a beautiful eyeshadows and cover it with glasses...kan!!? kan!!?

I really did think of wearing contacts a few years back, when I asked my hubby about it (since he wear contacts) he said, it will be troublesome for me...with my sensitive eyes & poking my eyes and all...so I just stay with glasses lah.

So recently, I decided to go hell with poking eyes...this is for cosmetic purpose, if I can handle nose piercing and Helix ear piercing...what this small thing would get in the way?

Now I got my first contact lens....colored 2-tone contact lens from GEO Contact Lens

GEO Angel - Brown
Do I look like a vegetarian vampire? hihihi

GEO Angel - Grey
I love this grey contacts because it goes well with any look :)

I bought online from MissyGorgeous. for RM25/pair.
ya lah...everything also online...cheaper mah!!! I saw in lintas they sell like rm60/pair...!!!

Long Time No See

2009-02-24T10:41:00.004+08:00

My bestfriend Lynn was in town a few weeks ago, It's been like nearly 2 years since I last saw her from her wedding ...wow so lama...but I'm glad that I catch up with her that night.

We supposed to go out "moginum" instead, thanks to Magic Sing (a plug and play device microphone has full karaoke functions embedded in micro-computer chips) we had so much fun...we stayed at her mom's place and moginum there with her family...so syiok.

I guess this is how it feels like when u crossed that age line, where spending time and have fun with family is more enjoyable ;)

singing with Magic Sing mic...this gadget is cool man!!
OMG!! if u notice, i wore the same exact top when we celebrate her Hen's nite...odoi!!

Me and Lynn...friends forevaa...

P/s I hope you get your Lead Stewardess post...Goog Luck Lynn!!

E.L.F

2009-01-07T21:44:00.005+08:00

Eyeslipsface.com is a USA brand cosmetic, a pretty ok quality product that only cost USD1.00...very very affordable.
Luckily I found out there is someone running sprees from USA cosmetic & apparel websites for Malaysian ladies.
sgDrugstore a.k.a Ryan held an E.L.F spree early December and I had a chance to buy a few E.L.F products, although he charged RM8 instead of USD1.00 it is still reasonable for me, because that includes international shipping charges & taxes.

So I bought a few fafinettex3 top recommendation of E.L.Fs

special bubble wraps so my makeup wont shatter...

I only bought 4 items, Eyeshadow brush, blending brush, tone correcting concealer and Healthy glow bronzing powder(luminance)

I gotta say, i'm pretty impressed with these brushes, way way better than Elianto brushes...
I tried making smokey eyes effortlessly using the blending brush...

Tone correcting concealer was ok, the downside is that it smelled like ubat, like the Dharmol panadol syrup...urgh!!
and the Healthy glow bronzing powder(luminance), I read that everyone loves this product, it claimed that your face will actually glow kah kunun if pakai ni na...I tried and yes, memang butul!!! I think i'm getting more of luminance on my next e.l.f purchase...Uloi bila ko balik KK..!!!!??? hehehehe

So yeah that's it, Ryan is very reliable seller, you can read a review of sgDrugstore.com here
and, oh..the ongoing sprees now is....

Drugstore.com [20% off on All GNC Products!!!]
MACCosmetics.com [25% off Storewide till Jan 8]

Jadi apalagi..!!! before its too late..!!
I want MAC!!!
Sia mo gila ni skarang...!!!

Probably hitting the gym? but the thought of jogging with my saggy nenen really bothers me...
or maybe I might consider joining Juliana's futsal team...(hmmm running and bouncing nenen?)

This year i'm no longer gonna be a 20 something...yep i'll be hitting the big 3-0 arrghh...!!
Talking about leaving the younger years behind...I want to celebrate it with my good ol' friend "alcohol " which I ditched it couple years ago, just for one nite....one nite...oh how I WISH I could join the rest of the Siambun girls 1week trip to Gold Coast..kimet!!! Im so jealous!!!

Punya malas sia mau blog nowadays, but since I bought some pigments I want to share it with you guys, because the colors is oh so gorgeous...!!!

"M.A.C DEFINITION: Pigment is a highly concentrated loose color powder that contains ingredients to help it adhere to the skin. Pigment is available in matte and frosted finishes and comes in an excellent range of colors. Use to create a subtle wash of color or an intense effect. Pigment does not streak or cake, is easy to blend and long-lasting."

Oh and this is baby Gaga mau minta tunjuk his invisible eye makeup...hehe

New Obsession - Make up

2008-12-06T16:10:00.003+08:00

OMG I'm crazy about make-up now, when I saw one of the video from this girl Aubrey trus ter"addicted" bah...I love her makeup videos!!

Her Smokey Teal is my favorite so far..
To start with my make-up frenzy, I bought few brushes, eye primer and eye palette...I only can afford elianto, mahal bah tu M.A.C gila...oh how i wish sia kana tu jackpot..!!!

a few brushes from elianto, and blush brush (rm6) from S&M 1Borneo

Oh no my diaper bag!!

2008-11-24T23:48:00.000+08:00

My diaper bag I bought from Sandra 8months ago right after beranak, the tangkai sudah putus!!! . ..if wanna jahit the tangkai pun cannot...tidak bulih save sudah, hubby said kalau mau pun, ganti the whole tangkai, I sungguh sedih... :(

For the time being, I just use this sling bag that I bought at Manila for 150peso, to kasih temporary ganti my diaper bag. Cantik kan this sling bag, menyesal sia beli 1 saja, i should've bought 3 ka...isshk.

So, I was actually looking for a backpack for a diaper bag, since forever...!!! Backpack for diaper bag is so much easier when travelling...I want a backpack yang got girlish sikit, not yang macam school bag tu....then terjumpa juga, when I was not actually looking for a bag that day...selalu begitu oh, bila mau cari tu barang ...tiada, kalau tidak cari...sana depan mata.

I got this backpack at warisan square for half price, only RM19.95!!! woo hoo...got 3 colors but I guess black goes with everything kan...but I also want the brown!!! Nantilah sia pi beli lagi...lagipun only rm20.

Baby Hair

2008-11-06T22:50:00.000+08:00

I think most of the moms have experienced this...my hair gugur few months after delivery. The hair falling is so tremendously banyak, I even blame on the confinement rule yang cannot wash hair.

I was on salon one day to set my hair for a wedding reception and washed my hair at home so the salon person doesnt have to cuci my hair, you know lah kan how they gosok/garu sampai tercabut tu scalp kalu bulih...but the toukey said konon she doesnt believe in all the hair loss after pregnancy, and said my hair is oily & thats the reason my hair gugur...trus satu gonggom bah my hair gugur that day... :( I bet the sink sumbat tu just because of my hair.

Thank goodness, hair loss is finally over & now my front hair nampak berdiri.... so bida!!!!!

my baby hair....

"The most common period of hair loss occurs approximately three months after delivery. The rise in hormones during pregnancy keeps you from losing your hair. After delivery, the hormones return to normal levels, which allows the hair to fall out and return to the normal cycle. The normal hair loss that was delayed during pregnancy may fall out all at once.

Up to 60% of your hair that is in the growth state may enter into the telogen resting state. The hair loss usually peaks 3-4 months after delivery as your hair follicles rejuvenate themselves. As noted before, this hair loss is temporary and hair loss returns to normal within six to twelve months."

Why I love Ebay

2008-10-12T10:30:00.000+08:00

I always complained that all the shops don't have enough clothes variety for baby boys, even when I went shopping at Manila few months ago...

Thanks to ebay, they have like 76,000++ boys clothing from the age of 0-3months to 5T... woohoo!! search anything u want...& they have it...and price start at $0.99....argh!!! mau gila..!!

I was looking for baby boy rompers & I end up buying more than a dozen....tu jari bah gatal mau bid.

I got 2 cool polo rompers..

construction rompers by Carters

and more cute boy rompers

and got him a pair of Levi jeans.. hehe...

My most favorite buy at Ebay was this Calvin Klein set, long sleeve t-shirt+camo long pant+jacket for $0.99 only...

2008-09-24T01:18:00.000+08:00

I thought when someone sentenced to prison, all they have to do is stay all day in your room & get rotan/sebat...but in Philipines, they dance.

Provincial jail in Cebu, CPDRC .
"This is actually one of our concepts in jail management wherein instead of the usual morning exercises, we let the inmate[s] memorize [dance moves], and count their routine using the beat of the music...." Byron Garcia.

This Thriller video below is awesome, I guess they really occupy their time by dancing, rather than fighting each other.

Do the hustle guys...I particularly like how they sway the badan...hehehe

Will You Marry me?

2008-09-16T01:07:00.000+08:00

I still remember when Gerry proposed to me, it was almost perfect...ALMOST... candlelight dinner at @tmosphere, with a great view from the revolving restaurant....
until he said "Sia mau bawa kau tunang.." for me it was quite a lame proposal...

I know every girls wants it...you know, the fantasmic movie like, with one leg kneel down and a diamond ring then the guy said "Will you marry me"...
but actually its not the effort bah...the gesture...a simple romantic gesture pun ok juga...like when you about to go to sleep & a whisper "Will you marry me.." pun sia boleh terima sudah.

Well I got angry that moment I said "sia fikir dulu" and said "yes" a week later...jahat kan sia!!!

Would you say "yes" to this?

Saw this banner at luyang bus stop...

Ubat week

2008-09-09T06:38:00.000+08:00

Abrey had cough, flu and fever last week. We brought him to the ordinary clinic nearby and prescribed us the cold & cough medicine. After 2 days, still got fever, i was quite worried maybe it was not just mild cough as I read at Farrah's blog about before on Bronchiolitis, I made Gerry bring him to the Paed.

I explained Abrey's conditon & I mentioned his wheezing when he is breathing.

Doctor : Macamana kamu tau itu bunyi wheezing? Ada family member kamu pernah kena asthma ka?
Gerry : Tiada
Me : Sia bulih dingar dia *make the wheezing sound but failed to sound even close hehe..*

Doctor : Saya mau tau saja...macamana kamu tau itu term wheezing...& itu bunyi dia.

at this moment, I said to myself...tak kan lah bah orang tidak tau apa tu bunyi wheezing. Then I just say, to kasih puas the Doctor..."Ada tu cartoon Toy story2 sia tinguk, tu penguin ada buat tu bunyi wheezing trus dia kana tanya "kenapa kau wheezing?" dari sana lah sia tau..."

The the doctor checked him...."betul lah ada bunyi wheezing" -_-

As the doctor explained us how his paru-paru is already kena "jangkitan primer" and got Bronchiolitis..

Me : Dia kena kasih Nebulizer kah doctor?
Doctor : Kamu kerja staff nurse ka?
Me : Huh..? Tidak
Doctor : Jadi kenapa kamu tau semua ni?
Me : Baca internet..
Doctor : Oooo bagus, bagus.

So banyak the ubat kana bagi, so for 1week i didnt use CD because he was on antibiotic...i wouldnt want my CD become brown color like Bonnie's case.
For first 2 days he was ok and taking his medicine quite well, but starting the 3rd day, nah!!...he really dont like it anymore. Punya susah mau kasih makan ubat...we have to really paksa him, sampai berabis dia nangis.

pandai automatic gapit mulut dia...

Thank goodness, ubat week is over... you know when orang tua-tua said, if a baby sakit and after baik, they'll learn new skill...now he pandai guling-guling sudah.

Shopping in Manila

2008-09-03T16:46:00.000+08:00

I must say that shopping in Manila is way better than KL, it is more cheaper there & baby friendly. The shop assistants there also very polite, they will answer "Yes, Ma'am" or "No, Ma'am" not like here, muka masam saja...tanya size then trus bilang tiada.

My favorite shopping place is the Landmark Department Store in Ayala centre...I just love the department store there...the shoes..OMG the shoes malatup banyak sampai sia bingung oh...Bags lagi...jangan cakaplah, sia trus skip pigi baby/kids department, you would go crazy if u had a daughther or baby girl....itu baju for girls cover 95% of the kids department where baju for boys 1 spot saja...ishk gerigitan sia!!!! My niece Danika lah yang paling lucky...so many dresses kana beli.

My favorite buy was my sandals I bought at Landmark

nice kan!!! I bought 3, but gave 1 to Didi PHP250 each

these are some of baju-baju I bought for Abrey..

Daddy is a soccer fan..hehe, bulih pakai ni when Daddy pigi main bola.
PHP115 (RM8.60) each set @ Metro Department Store, Market!Market

PHP199 (RM14.90) for 3pcs @ Metro Department Store, Market!Market
murah gila!!!

PHP180(RM13.50) for 2 tom&Jerry bodysuit @ Greenhills

this polo shorts ada mahal sikit I bought PHP150
the romper pun mahal PHP180, tapi sia beli juga ;)

cute Carter's pyjamas, PHP500 for both

This is Abrey with his new baju ;)

Sikit saja bah sia beli...my MIL yang banyak shopping.

Manila Trip 2008

2008-08-24T23:27:00.006+08:00

Its been 2years since my Manila trip in 2006, this time i'm going with baby Abrey, PIL & niece Sasha.

When MIL saw the zero fare offered by MAS, she got really excited and booked us tickets to Manila during school holidays. It only cost us RM396 return per person and RM34 for Abrey...murah gila!!!!

But a few weeks after we booked the tickets, MAS called and re-route us. KK-Manila to KK-KL-Manila, instead of 2hrs & 30minutes flight, we took 7hrs flight... :( Apparently they cut-out the KK-Manila flights already...

As for cloth diapers...I didnt bring any. Malas mau cuci-cuci & no time. Abrey was on dispo the whole trip.

DAY 1
We got up as early as 3.30am to catch the 6.05am flight to KLIA, then took the 10.20am flight and arrived at Manila at 2.10pm. Gore our ~~tour guide~~ friend pick us up...then send us to our hotel.

We stayed at UCCP Shalom Center, Malate and took the apartelle room that cost 2,295 peso (RM172) per night. But already paid as part of our tour package.

our two single beds, alalah Abrey di hujung sudah...

roll away bed, can tidur 2 person lagi...ooops Sorry Ma..

kitchen where coffee & tea is NOT free, need to call the reception for hot water

but I really really puji the toilet, is soooo bersih & white...

Dengan tidak membuang masa we went straight to Robinsons Shopping mall that is 5minutes walk from our hotel. I saw a very cute baby camo hat where you can embroider a name that cost 50peso (RM3.75) but decided to buy it later, when I came back...someone bought it already...NOOOO!!!!
1st Lesson, Gore advised me if I see something nice...just buy it!!!
2nd Lesson, Don't go to supermarkets in Manila, you gonna queue in cashier counter for an hour just to buy mineral water.

Day 2
Gore pick us up at 10am then drive us to Makati and straight to Ayala Center. Jalan-jalan at Glorietta then shopping berabis at Landmark, a walk at Greenbelt.

Sasha at glorieta

a park at the center of Greenbelt

church near shopping malls...

MIL : Joyce kau mau pigi attend to mass...
Me : Tidak mau :)

MIL : Sasha you want to go inside & pray
Sasha : No...

After Makati, we went straight to Market! Market! for more shopping, had "crispy pata" dinner at the food market, then a walk to Bonifacio High Street, the newest shopping complex in Manila...then to The Fort to see the Dinasours...

going to Bonaficio..

water coming out from a rock at Bonaficio

all of us at Dinasour show

rarrrr!!!

Day 3
To the famous Luneta Park, then to the Intramuros and visit the oldest church in Manila. Shopping for religious stuff at Tayuman...continue shopping at Tutuban shopping mall, 168 shopping mall & Mall of Asia, the biggest mall in Manila...phew..!!

After Tayuman, we continue our shopping to Tutuban & 168 shopping mall, where all the median people shop here...I bought Gerry shoe cost half the price in Petaling Street...so cheap!!

After we thought we are through with shopping, Gore took us to Mall of Asia, the biggest mall i Manila...but of course we did'nt manage to finish walking around the mall just ground floor only & the foodcourt, basar bah tu...and Bapa looked sooo tired, Mama also getting worried. Gore purposely park at the end of the mall so we could walk by at the seaside boulevard, it look so much like waterfront KK, but they have live bands & this cool robot man.

a bit dark, but still can see him moving

Day 4
More shopping of course, today we went straight to Greenhills where they sell all the branded stuff, but cheaper. It look so much like Petaling Street but its indoor with air cond & cheaper here, so siok...!!

Abrey in sling at Greenhills

After Greenhills, more shopping at SM Megamall, by this time...Sasha is bored with shopping malls...I have to agree I am too, sampai I said to Gore "I think I can vomit shopping" hahaha. direct translation to "sampai mau muntah shopping..."

Then he bring us to more shopping center...haiya!!! Tidak habis-habis, He brought us to Tiendesitas and had our philipino dinner at the food village and tasted the best bbq pork ever...mmm yummy.

Proceed to the Fun Ranch Ortigas just beside the Tiendesitas, a place where every children wants to go...Sasha lah paling happy at this moment. Unfortunately most of the playground were close already, we came too late.

They even have spa for children here...gila!!!

Little Lamb's Clinic.Spa.Salon. for kids *picture took from their website*

at Fun Ranch

peace..

Sasha & Bapa

Me & Abrey... hehehe

Then he head back to our hotel...

Gong Xi Gong Xi....awal juga he minta tagih ang pow..

Day 5
Sempat lagi kami buat last minute shopping at Robinsons Shopping mall before we take off to our 3.30pm flight. Abrey has been a really good traveller, only cried yang berabis on the last day at the airport where he really needs his sleep+nenen...

Bapa & Mama at the Aerotrain KLIA

How many shopping malls we went? 14 shopping malls in 5days...beat that!!!
Gore is the perfect guy to hire if you are traveling from 4-8person, or more than that. Waiting for taxi is a killer in Manila. Same like you're queing at the supermarkets...panjang gila babi.
He is our tourguide, jadi our tukang gambar...tukang surung stroller...nasib the shopping bags kana sangkut di stroller...haha.

Next destination..?? Jakarta?
