Iphone 4 Craze in KK

After such a long hiatus, it is time to get back to the blogging society. My baby is 1yo now and I have no excuse that my life is very stressful and tiring bcoz of the new addition. I'm proud to say that I've SURVIVED the infant baby days. Hooray! It's a call for celebration for us as new parents.

iPhone 4 has finally arrived. The iPhone 4 hype was really sinking in. I tell you, Anoti was like a CRAZY man.


2 days ago at 6.40am: (early morning)

"Dear, I can't sleep, I dreamt of Iphone 4, I can't wait to get hold of my iPhone4."

"Chi Seen! Go back to sleep! I need my sleep you know."

Yesterday at 5pm:

"I don't care, I must get my iPhone 4 by no means."

"You are over-reacting, do you want to pitch a tent outside Digi Center?"

"Digi 1Borneo opens at 10am, we'll have to be there as early as 9am."

"Huh? You serious a?"



And today at 9am, we thought we will see iPhone crowd outside the Digi @ 1Borneo like the ones in Maxis KL but thank goodness it is KK, no crowd and our Digi Center and the entire mall was like a library.

Digi @ 9.35am. We waited till 10.08am. The crowd? less than 10.

No doubt, Anoti was the first customer of the day.

After an hour, Anoti walked out happily with 3 sets iPhone 4. (We didnt expect my MIL wanted to get one on the spot, iPhone 4, you are nasty! You must have cast a spell on MIL.

Not much of an iPhone 4 craze over here. Anoti was so thankful that he lives in KK, no long ques, at least he doesnt have to wake up at 3am like Mr Meow did just to get his iPhone 4. What about the rest of you?


Anoti said we shud reward ourselves after ONE year of parenthood. I couldn't agree for more. I hope after Mini Anoti 2nd Birthday, Anoti will buy me a CAR to reward ourselves. *evil grin* Can someone please tell my hubby to put it on his TO DO LIST or Outlook. Thank You!

May Happenings : Our Long Weekends

Isaac is too tall for his pool. His feet can touch the ground which is very dangerous. He will kick himself backwards, head facing the sky and scooped water with his neck float.



Celebrated Daddy's Birthday at Secret Recipe. Nothing fancy, didn't buy Anoti any birthday gift as I think I've already gave him the 'best gift', actual reason is because I don't have time to buy. Sorry Daddy.

On a side note, Isaac was so excited when the waitress gave us the menu. Busybody baby!



Despite the SUPER HOT WEATHER that almost cooked our brains, it was a nice outing. I can't wait to bring him to Singapore Zoo this December. Hope he will love it.

Mr Sunny

Mummy's Sunnies. Too Oval. Skip this.

My little 'lalat' (Housefly in Malay).

Grandma's sunnies, I dont like the shape. N-E-X-T please.

*shakes head*
C'mon show me something which is cool.

Ah Hah! This is more like it. Daddy, please go to the counter and settle the bill. Thanks!

 

Just nice, ngam ngam hou! Not too fancy and I look like James Bond.
Now let me check whether there's UV protection or not.
 

Psst....Anyone looking for baby eyeswear model or spokesperson? Besides eyeswear, men's brief also can. Isaac has very impressive and charming bird outlook. Interested, dont be shy to email me, lol. Mummy is dreaming to become one of those celebrity mama.

Distance surely makes mummy goes crazy

Mummy went outstation today. While my flight was taking off, I heard baby screaming and crying, That poor baby cried for almost 20mins, I think he was too tired that he stopped crying. Poor little thing. Instantly, I could only think of my little Isaac at home. And thoughts came into the mind....

"Can I handle Isaac in the plane?" I really doubt that I could handle my fussy boy.

"Will he cry like the other baby?" I have this feeling he will.

"Long hour flight to Australia for instance, is it a good idea to bring Isaac along when he's not even 1yo?"

A lot of concerns. Thinking of all the possibilities that could happen and the screams that could hijack every passengers ears. IT JUST GAVE ME NOTHING BUT GOOSE BUMPS. The idea of traveling with a baby just gives me the shivers.

Am I selfish or what?  Prolly I need time to adjust, only time will tell.



In another note, I miss my son so much. Will be back tomorrow morning. Daddy, please take care of our little man.

When the boobs talk...

My breastfeeding journey was a pathetic one. When I was pregnant, everyone was asking me whether I will breastfeed my baby. Looking at my decent boobs,  "Of course!", I exclaimed.

Then came the baby, but I was too weak after the surgery, because of that I missed my window of opportunity of introducing my lovely boobs to baby. Later, when we reached home, came the Confinement Lady who told me that I shud rest after a major surgery and let her bottlefeed baby during the nights, hence baby was taken away from me, again I missed the golden hour to establish milk supply during midnite. The electric pump was not doing any good, I have the milk but I can't pump it out, it was frustrating. All i got was elongated deformed nipples. Left with no choice, I nursed baby during the day.

One month later, when the Dr. confirmed that bloody stool are caused by Soya Milk Protein and Cow's Milk Protein allergy. I was really determined to exclusively breastfeed my baby but that was just wishful thinking because of poor establishment during the 1st month, milk supply was really low, after 45mins to 1hour of nursing, I have to supplement it with formula. I never give up, I always believe that I will produce enough milk for my baby.

For the first 3 months, baby was drinking from the boobs and later supplement with bottle. He took the boobs n bottle like a pro. Then when I went back to work on the 4th month, my milk supply has never increased. EBM was just 2.5oz to 3oz a day.

Baby went on nursing strike! I felt rejected! It was heart breaking but giving up wasn't in my dictionary. I tried all sorts of things to increase breastmilk. I had Fenugreek, Red Raspberry Leaves, Papaya Fish Head Soup, Malunggay Leaf, Barley, Cod Fish, Spirullina, Oatmilk, Soyamilk anything you can find on the internet just to INCREASE BREAST MILK. I was really determined! If you tell me taking hamster or monkey shit will increase supply, I swear to the moon that I'll give it a try. I even went to the doctors and let them fiddled with my boobs, both of them taught me hand expression. I was the master of Hand Expression at no time, but there's a price to pay, I ended up having bruises around the boobs. Back then, I could only yield less than 0.5oz a day! It was discouraging.

When Isaac started taking solids at 6 months, I told myself 'MAYBE' its about time to stop. Even I don't produce a lot of milk, I struggled for at least 3 weeks just because of weaning guilt. So many things crossed the mind and most of them were negative. I was struggling, learning and looking for an answer, it was an emotional journey I must admit.

When all I could see was soreness and bruises, I picked up the cues and I decided to listen to my boobs. And I think I made the very right choice. So I'm glad I have a pair of smart talking boobs and also a smart son who thinks that sucking on mummy's nen nen is such a waste of time. THE END

Boy! oh Boy!

Despite the labor pain, the only thing I could remember about Isaac's birth was his 'Big Bird' and 'Easter Eggs'. Instead of showing me my bundle of joy and hearing, "Congratulations! You have a healthy baby."  Dr Lim flashed my baby's private part and said "I told you its a boy".

3 days before Isaac was born, I jokingly asked my doctor, "Are you sure its a boy? All my baby things are in BLUE, have you ever make any mistake?"  D A N G!!! U see I 'dai sei' or not, unintentionally challenged my doctor. Thank GOD he didnt 'slice' me into pieces in the operating theater.

Newborn

Anyway, this is my 'little burito' right after birth.

Chuckled at 3 months

Each and everyday, he picked up a lot of new stunts skills, from his first chuckle, roll over, swim, eat, sit and play,babble and shouting, Anoti and I can't wait to witness every single milestone.


Close to eight months, Isaac is no longer an infant. He had turned into a cheeky boy, he is so active that I wish I WERE A MAN to keep up with him.

My toothless little man taken on 1/5/10.

Isaac's First Date

This is Kimberly @ 5 months. (a month younger than Isaac)

When Kimberly's mummy told me she was pregnant, I know there will be a day her baby and my baby will be playmates. And this day happened on the the 6th March 2010 (Saturday) and 7th March 2010 (Sunday).

(6th March 2010 @ Aunty Grace Room)

I have no idea whether the 2 will like each other. But after a few warm ups, they seem to get along really well.

(7th March 2010 @ Our place)

Sometimes I wonder, do babies talk to each other in their own baby way? If yes, I certainly want to know what was my boy thinking when he was doing this.....

A."Wow! You have cool pants."

OR

B."What's that on your pants?"

OR

C."Why aren't you wearing cloth diaper like mine?"

OR

D."So what makes us different ar? Let me check."

What could it be?

Starting on Solid

After a long wait, 6th of March marked the day Isaac had his first taste of solid.

One day before his momentous day, I went to get him a red hot sexy high chair. I was thrilled and excited. Looking at this chair, makes me go hungryyy....(i hope it works the same for Isaac)

(Preparing Pure Rice Paste)

On that glorious morning, EVERYONE (Anoti, Me, MIL, 3 maids) was vivacious as if it was Christmas morning. All of us can't wait to witness Isaac's historic moment. The kitchen was surely busy as if we were preparing for a feast.


When all of us were busy in the kitchen. Anoti warmed up the scene by putting Isaac into high chair. My boy took the seat like a pro.

The moment that we have all been waiting for had arrived, when the spoon touches his mouth.....

MY BOY WENT CHOMP CHOMP CHOMP! Everyone clapped as if Malaysia had won the World Cup. From this, I can tell that my son is absolutely ready for food. Don't you think so?

A NEW ME + BABY

Mini Anoti is not any textbook baby. U know, at birth he doesn't function as baby, he is awake most of the time and he wants to be carried at all times. Worst of all, he cried so loud that even my mother and MIL were afraid of him. Definitely not an easy going baby.


Bloody stool, cow's milk protein allergy and soya protein allergy had really traumatized us the NEW PARENTS, and I became a worry wart because of this. (I'm really close to having postpartum depression.)


Today, Mini Anoti is a wonderful baby that both Anoti and I are blessed to have. At 6 months, he is progressing really well. I'm so proud of him.


As for me, besides gaining extra weight, bigger arms, stretchmark jelly belly, I'm enjoying every single of my Mummy Moment. Ah! I feel so good about it.
