Merry X'mas..

It's X'mas time.. ^_^ n Merry X'mas everyone...
Wanted to put Gabriel's new photo here.. but seems to have problem for my camera n computer linkage...

Gabriel will be back on this coming Thursday.. Miss him so much..
Yesterday, Raily & me have gone to Pyramid.. shopping.. of cos.. I have started to shop for my new yr clothes.. if i dun buy now, i won't have the time to do so.. cos my Baby G will be back. hehee..

That's one thing about mummy.. when the kids are not around.. then start to miss them.. when they r around, then u will be thinking of some time for yourself.. I dunno whether this applies to all.. but, it applies to me.. ^_^

Yesterday, we went to Pyramid from 12pm to 6pm.. Actually, I think I am the one that enjoy it.. Raily looked so tired...

On last Saturday, the "Dong-zhi or 冬至"day, we went to grandpa's house to celebrate for Dong-zhi and X'mas... I have prepared potato salad on last minute, almost forgot about the gathering. Before I finished work that day, suddenly I recalled about the gathering.. so went to Giant to shop for ingredients.. :) It turns out there are 2 potato salads that night.. guess i should have called 1st before i make one.. :Þ
Ya, Raily n me have diarrhea the following day.. a bad one..

Today, Raily has gone to Solo, Indonesia.. will only be back tomorrow evening.. so i have a lonely x'mas eve... (+_+)

Gabriel is in.. alor star.. :)

Last weekend, Raily & I have sent Gabriel to Alor Star.. He is now staying with Yeye n Popo until X'mas... And Aunties has informed me last week that she cannot take care of Gabriel anymore. She said her daughter has admitted to hospital due to wound infections. She has operation n now the wound was infected n required cleaning 3 times a day..

So last Friday, I took 1/2 day off, to check out the nursery at BK5B. I have brought my mum & MIL together. Mrs Ho is a nice lady... But I was a bit hesitate due to the food that they provided are solid food, n Gabriel get choked even with fish,, He can't take solid food.. But what Mrs Ho said was true, that's bcos he was not used to it.. The fees are quite expensive.. cost RM750 + RM100 misc a month.. I commented that initially when I enquired about the fees, I was being told that it would be RM750 + RM50 misc.. And when he reaches 2 yrs old, it will be RM650 + RM50 misc.. So Mrs Ho has given me RM50 discount from the misc fees.. :)

After discussed with my mum, I will send him to Lovely Kid Nursery (ie. Mrs Ho's place) n see how he can cope with the new environment.

I was afraid that it is not easy to find a good babysitter. The last one I contacted was quite $$ face.. She requested at least RM700 excluding food expenses. And she kept on saying that why I can't come early on Saturday to fetch Gabriel back.. So I was not keen with paying her a visit at all.. She said that she doesn't like naughty kid.. I won't said Gabriel is not naughty.. n he is so active n I'm worried the new babysitter will beat him..

But the admission is quite costly, guess I have to dig out my saving again.. RM2500 is a big sum to me.. I have to give 2 mth advance, 6 mth misc, RM100 registration and RM750 for 1st mth fee... I have not expected such a huge sum.. fortunately, Mrs Ho has given a 10% discount.. :)

I have applied leave on Jan 2nd, to accompany my 1 1/2yrs old son to school.. So poor thing.. go to school at 1 1/2 yrs old...

Gabriel is in JB...

Gabriel is in JB.. Gong-gong & Popo have brought him back as Aunty's daughter is expected to deliver on 27 Nov... As a contingency plan, they have brought him back on 19 Nov, just in case Aunty's daughter giving birth earlier than EDD (expected Delivery Date).

But I have gone to Aunty's place on Friday 30 Nov and she was not due yet... well, i guess i have sent Gabriel to JB too early... have been missing him alot... He will be back next Sunday or so, Gong-gong going to bring him back.. then one week here n Yeye & Popo going to bring him to Alor Star...

Aunty has been missing him too.. She has asked me to bring Gabriel to her place, let her see see when he is back on next week.. Ai.. Boyboy.. when u around everyone is so busy, cannot do wk without u ka-ka-cau-cau there.. but when u r not around.. we have been missing u so much...

These are the cloth diapers...

These are some the pocket diapers that I bought from miabambina.com

Drybees in large

Bumgenius One-Size

They need a pre-wash before use...

Gabriel in Bumgenius OS

Cloth diapers...

I have bought a few cloth diapers for Gabriel.. Found out about this cd in a forum.. after google, I was so surprised that these cd have been so famous in overseas, but not really known by alot of people in M'sia...

After some research, I have bought 3 Bumgenius and 1 Drybees Pocket Diapers. Why pocket diaper? Well, though pocket diaper is more expensive, but it dry so much faster than an All-In-One (AIO) or a fitted one... And it does not need a diaper cover... I have all together 7 inserts, cause these microfiber and hemp inserts take quite some time to dry.

I have taken a few photo with Gabriel wearing them, but, it seems there are something wrong with the connection of my camera to computer. Will upload them once I have transfer the photo into my comp.

Guess, I am pretty obssessed with these cd.. they are so nice, though expensive initially but in long run, it saves more than the disposables and it is Green to our Environment.. It reduces the burden to our mother earth... And it is supposed to be better to baby than disposables as disposables have Dioxin... Just google and you will see how bad is a disposables diapers...

Support cloth diapers... Put an effort in saving our mother earth... ^_^

Angkor Wat, Siem Reap 16/9/07-19/9/07

We have came back from Angkor Wat... 4 days 3 nights...

The place is really nice, people there are so friendly, we have a nice local guide... if you are interested to go there, just get his email from me. I have also upload a few pictures in friendster, just search from the link at the side... "My friendster"...

During the trip, to be exact on the 3rd day, my muscle is so pain after one day trip in Angkor Complex.. ^_^

The sunset at Bakheng Mountain was disappointing, it was raining season, we saw clouds more than anything... And it took so much effort to go up there...

The Tole Sap Lake is so so so big.. mum said it was sea, not lake... ^_^

The Angkor complex is so so so huge... We have visited some of the temples, the tour guide said that you will need at least 3 days to cover the whole area. We spent one day and cover the few famous one... and that has left me with "injured" leg.. hee hee..



Yes, this is the place they shoot Tomb Raider... (Ta Prohm Temple)

Yes, this is how the steps to go up Angkor Wat look like , so steep n narrow...

The beer is so cheap... more value for money compared to water...

The worms n the silk...

We are not in the season for exotic food.. the fried tarantula spider...

This was the hotel we stayed.. Somadevi Angkor Hotel.. very very near the old market...

Actually, Raily & me didn't bring Gabriel along. We have bought Gabriel's ticket, but after advice from friends, etc, we decided not to bring him along.. as the place is not so developed yet and it is raining season, we are afraid that he might fall sick if we bring him there. And we are glad that we didn't, cos the place is just not suitable to bring him... the trip need alot of walking n climbing too... So, Gabriel was left at home with Yeye n Popo...

He was so happy to see us come back...

Gabriel, the next trip we will go to a place more suitable to bring you along, ok...

...ONE... year... old...

Our little angel when he turns one...



This is his Bumble Bee outlook for his birthday celebration... ^_^ For his 1st birthday, we went out for dinner in Janbo Restaurant... the food, umm.. I would say, not that delicious afterall... Just ok only...

This is on his actual birthday date.. we have celebrate his birthday 1 week earlier...

Gabriel is almost ONE...

My baby is so cute... ^_^

Eee... so naughty...

Our little precious one is so naughty now...

He has learnt to make naughty face, like these...

When my mother-in-law laughed till leaning on the floor, he did the face some more...

Ya, the other day, i think about 2 months back, Gabriel managed to get out from this bambo chair... I found him on the floor... playing with his toys... after I came back from the back of the house to take in some clothes... (scared me... )

Our Little Angel photo... ^_^

Finally... some pictures of Our Little angel

Finally... I can upload some pictures of our Little Angel... Nowadays, it is quite difficult to upload pictures in blogger. Always hang when uploading pictures or get disconnected when half way typing... ai... :( I guess there are too many people using blogger...

Here are some flashback..

Daddy has done hair straightening in Jakarta, before Chinese New Year... He looks so different...

On my Birthday... 21 Jan 2007.. This is my cake... ^_^


I cooked Pumpkin porridge with Pork for Gabriel.. He finished all the these and wanted more... And yes, he always do that when he eats porridge... ^_^


I gave him Heinz Apple sauce, and see his face... hahaha.. he just doesn't like sour food... ^_^

He and his walker... ( grandma bought this for him)...

It has been so long...

It has been so long since i last posted a post... I have been busy with bit torrent download... Korean shows... (Hee.. hee... ^_^)

Our little angel has learnt to sit on his own.. crawling.. umm.. this is the difficult part. He is quite lazy to crawl. He will rather roll than crawl. He still dunno how to lift up his head... And now he is expert in jumping and running in his mercedes benz (hee... hee.. walker la, of cos)...

Umm... as for milk.. that is another thing that give me a bit of headache.. Well, he prefer water so much more than milk. On the better side is that he likes porridge alot.. The porridge has to be tasty, or he will not give u face, he will only eat little bit n that's it.

Will put in some recent photos of him later, as there seems to be some problem in putting in pictures...

Yes.. Our little angel is 6 months old now...

Yes.. Our little angel is 6 months old...

After recovering from diarrhea, he doesn't like his milk like he used to do. Now he prefers water more than milk. However, this few days, he starts to drink more now. Before this, I was still thinking of changing his milk... :)

Since the beginning of December, we have been giving him porridge. At the beginning, he get choked by the porridge and fish as he doesn't know how to swallow them. Now he has porridge twice a day and slightly more 1/2 bowl at a time. And so far from what we have observed, he seems to like pork porridge more than fish porridge. Today, nanny has added in carrot in his fish porridge and he seems to like his fish porridge done in this way.

This is how he will do when I feed him porridge with nice napkin around his neck. He will get curious with it and pull to see... ^_^

Since 27 Dec 2006, I have added in Nestle rice cereal in his milk before he goes to sleep. So far so good, but today he refused to drink his milk this way. So I have no choice but to give him his Similac plain.

Gabriel starts to play with his tongue this week, not like the last time when he just show his tongue. Now he makes his tongue sharp sharp and up-down-left-right. So naughty of him... (Umm.. I will try n see whether I can get a snap shot with him doing it)

He is also very playful now. When he gets excited, he will shout out loud. When I hold him and sing song, if he likes the song, he will also sing-a-long... He will "ah..." "e...". And when I clap, he will hold my hand and follow me... So far, his favourite songs got... Twinkle Twinkle Little Star.. If you're Happy and You Know it.. Yippie Yahyah...
