It's Gabriel's 3rd Birthday...

Gabriel turns 3 on 29 June 2009. As usual, I have taken a day off from work to prepare for his birthday party & celebrate with him in his nursery.

I have cooked macaroni with white sauce, steam sausages & fish balls, agar-agar and a birthday cake for our little angel... Last year, I have fried alot of foods, however as this year our little angel was not feeling well, and a bit "heaty". I decided to steam instead of frying the food.


The kids are enjoying the foods. Most of them just love sausages, fish balls type of foods.






See, Gabriel used his hand to grab a handful of his favourite... sausages & fish balls.

The boy sitting next to Gabriel also has the name of Gabriel. His name is Gabriel Issac. He can wink!! He happens to be my ex-housemate's son. (My ex-housemate during college time)

And.. this is our angel's girlfriend.. Charmaine.. Teachers' daughter.

My new books...

Here are the new books I bought.

So happy when I saw this 《孟老师的100道手工饼干》 when I went to Popular - Puchong IOI Mall with Soo Teng & her bf... RM50.05 less 10% disccount for member

Bought this also. I have the 1st series 杂饭档，this is the 2nd one.

Here is one of Gabriel's favourite book from nursery... I like this also, the colour and stickers are so nice...

Lovely Kids Nursery

I have bought the DVD + CD from teacher and it costs me RM560 for that. It comprises of some of Gabriel's activities, progress and photos there. Though it is expensive, it is a good memory to have.

Below are some of the pictures...

will update more once i resize them... these files are just too big.. :)

Nursery.. n more cloth diapers...

Yes.. Gabriel has started to go to nursery.. He has been crying everyday.. n yesterday is the only day he din cry.. he can even tell me "bye bye"...

His voice is hoarse as he has cried too much... Now he stick to me like koala bear.. Raily said that he is my shadow.. (^_^)

On his 1st day to nursery.. i've on leave to accompany him.. went with him from 8.30am to 10.30am.. he cried whenever I wanted to leave.. later I returned on 1.oopm with my MIL, heard him cried from outside of the house... Went back on 2.30pm like that.. Return on 5.30pm with my parents, they happened to come to KL to see grandma.. Grandma was admitted to hospital for allergic reaction from antibiotic.. she has turned maroon colour... (now she is back at home, recovered) .. Continue back, when we arrived at 5.30pm.. he was also crying...

After 2 weeks to nursery, I am amased by his progress... He can eat solid now, he had rice, vege, cookies, and even spaghetti.. And he eats alot when he goes to nursery.. we called it "school"... Sue said maybe he feels more comfortable by eating...

On last Friday (11 Jan 2008), Gabriel has surprised me.. he is able to say 1.. 2.. 3.. 4.. 5. I was so surprised.. (^_^)

Yesterday, when teacher sent him back, asked him whether he is happy, he said "happy".. but when teacher went back, asked him again.. he shaked his head... Haha.. naughty, right?

And he did his very 1st colouring there too.. Wait I take a photo then upload here.. :)

These few days, I have bought a lot of cloth diapers.. getting very addicted.. all in the process of coming.. I have bought:-

1. 3pcs Bella Bottom OS fitted, 1 pc Just Ducky OS pkt & 1 pc Baby Beehinds AIO from BabySashaNMom
2. 1 pc Drybees pkt (new print), 1 pc Dream Eaze AIO, 1 pc Dream Eaze OS cover, 1 Wahmies OS pkt & 2 Sheepish Grins Goat Milk Soap from Mia Bambina
3. 1 pc Happy Heiny's OS (cow hide) & Mosquito light from Mama Paradise
4. 1 pc My Precious Baby cover, 1 pc Thirsties® Fab Fitted, Northern Essence All Natural Vapor Rub & Northern Essence Boo Boo Balm from eZ Motherhood

So now.. very very broke... have digged my saving till very dangerous level.. Have to stop oredi.. Will replace back when bonus is out.. :)

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...
