A very weird thing happened today when I was waiting at the restaurant, tapau-ing for Mun Wah. Two funny incidents that caught my eye. It was drizzling in the evening, was standing by the restaurant waiting patiently for the food.

Then I saw this aunty taking a dead leaf (it’s like a long stalk with a dried leaf at the end, layu liao)…Then she was like sprinkling water on to the plant in front of the restaurant. At first I thought something was wrong with my eyes. what’s the aunty trying to do, so I just watched. Then she took out some ubat from the side of the pot…and started dipping the dead stalk of leave she was holding and sprinkle sprinkle on the potted plant…..Jeez, what’s wrong with her man…she’s like those sami, sprinkling holy water over the plant *knock head on the wall*. That’s weird, I wonder if she’s fertilizing the plant or what…

2nd incident, this a real classic. This family of ang mo father, chinese wife and the daughter, they were eating their dinner. I was standing beside their table lah..Then suddenly the father got up and walk out of the restaurant..The wife looked curiously while he walks away. Me being the nothing-to-do fella, was looking and see…..hmm is he going to his car, wonder what car he drives LOL…then see see, he walk across the road, still no sign of him getting into the car (I was having the impression that he forgot to take something from the car). Then I saw him stopped…within some bushes and trees……and he was pee-ing there LOL…Reminds me that not only Malaysians does that, even Ang Mo has accepted this so well that he’s doing it…..hahahaaa…..

It’s a busy day as usual. A total of 5 conference call today since 8am…..At the end of the day, ear drum about to burst liao…tuesday is always so many calls :(. But thank god that tomorrow and friday I’m spared kekeke…..Bought some magazines about kids, gonna read ‘em next week after my exam…

oh oh…PM kena 2nd interview today kekeke……he told me he didn’t do that well, but I do hope that he’ll join HP. It’ll be good to be working with him again, though not the same team, at least got lunch kaki mah…but food sucks @ HP LOL…mana tau can tumpang his car to work when I’m lazy to drive kekeke…hint hint :P

the manja king

when people ask me how’s your baby nowadays…I’m very tempted to answer, which one? Big baby or small baby? Big baby=Mun Wah=hubby lorr…he’s always been very manja (teh) with me…..and vice versa…but of late he’s getting a bit too much, u know like 3 yo kid…but it’s funny, sometimes when u see him acting like that, u don’t know whether to laugh or to be angry…..and here goes the list of things he’ll say:

nobody oi oi me - how to oi oi, balik 2am after flight, me oso oi oi oredi
nobody hug me
nobody love me
no underwear - DUH…it’s in the drawer lah
no more underwear (more or less same as the previous one)
nobody take for me - take water, take ear bud, all sorts of things lah
nobody buy for me - referring to the RM7k arowana, mad lah, who’s gonna buy
nobody cook for me - hinting that he’s hungry need his supper, be it instant noodle or soup
nobody wear for me - he thinks he’s stil 3yo, needs the mommy to wear clothes for him, someday I’m gonna buy adults diaper and wear for him, baru tau :P

that’s bout all the no-bla bla that he says everyday when he’s at home…I wonder if guys are all like that, or they are just jealous that I pay more attention to baby and acting childish to get attention. Nevertheless, we do enjoy a great laugh on all his no-bla bla and his 3yo behaviour.

2 more days, faythe will be 11 weeks, time passes so fast…I’m coming into the 3rd month bf her…feel proud, though she’s not exclusive bf, but at least I’m still making the effort to give her as much as I could. I enjoy the time I spend with her every nite waking up to feed her. Although it’s tiring, sleepy (sometimes can’t even open my eyes), but I cherish the silent moment that we both share. I long the smile on her face when she sees me and knows I’m feeding her. I long to see her excitemend (kicking her legs and moving her arms) when I pick her up. Makes me feel that I’m so important to her. And I also love the time when she drinks her milk, she’s enjoying so much that she sucks till so loud…chut chut chut…..full of satisfaction :), for her and myself.

I guess as the time passes, I’ll have to wean her off for nite feed, and it’s gonna be something that I’ll always miss…but no choice lah, I also want my 8 hours sleep back, it’s really nice to have 8 hours of sleep uninterrupted :)

yesterday was another day out with Faythe which was quite “successful”.. We went to Kg Subang to get some Jap carps for daddy…..his new project, put in 10 tiger carps in the aquarium and quota them “kwong tung 10 fu”…then we went Xian Leng, look for the arowana…super expensive, just browsing can lah…but the other fishes were cheap though..so in the end, daddy bought another tiger carp LOL…

then we went to Mid Valley for MAPEX..man a lot of people and houses are not cheap too!! Got this one pretty interesting to look at. 10mins drive from KLIA, single storey terrace facing the lakeside, costing only 100K…Very tempted..since this the only one that we can afford :P…so Mun Wah gonna check out the place this week when he goes for his CRM training in KLIA…while we were shopping at carre four, bumped into Jaime…it’s been 2 years since I has met him….as usual very long breath and yak yak yak non stop kekeke…then as we head back to our car to get out from MV, it was jam all the way from the parking lot…gosh…madness, so decide to get down go for a coffee or something and wait for the jam to clear. Mun Wah rang up Jaime again, we met at Kim Gary and he had his dinner while we had our drinks…..Gosh..one embarassing thing, I went into the rest, then looking at the menu, I told Mun Wah, eh why this menu no picture one huh…..then started ordering drinks, and was asking them for that big huge drink…then they say don’t have…so I start suspecting, how come this Kim Gary so weird one…anyway, we ordered ice tea…then I think and think and only I remembered that the menu with pics and the big drink was from Wong Kok, not Kim Gary…..geezz…blur kekekke…..result of going to Wong Kok too often :P

hehe…so in the end, jaime came over for a drink and cigar session over at our place…Faythe sleep pretty late, did a quick shower for her and put her to bet about 1am!! oh oh..guess what, I bought these flash card thingy from Carre Four…was at the kids book session saw that and it was like 6.50 per deck kekeke…bought 1 deck to try and a alphabets book too…gonna try GD on her see if it works…if it works…better go there again and sapu all the flash card…..han fan a lot :p

today it’s F1 weekend again…I hope I can go and watch at Frank’s place…..i really miss it so much, esp when see Schumi monyet crashing..damn nice kkakkakaaaaaa

inaugural meeting with MIL today…3 of us, MIL, SIL & myself…I’ve already got the sms yesterday, so I was wondering what was that about..u know the agenda :p…well, as what I expected, she drew the line very clear, which is very good and I’m glad she did:

1. She only takes care of baby Mon - Fri, day time. Public Holidays, Weekends - her rest day…well, it’s fair enough, she cant be working 24 hours a day, it’s gonna be bad for her health..The point she said this I think was due to MWah being not understanding and always dump faythe to her…I feel guilty sandwiched in between and cant do anything, but now since she’s voiced out, it’s really a blessing. I can go tell MWah about this condition. Oh..condition is if it’s urgent matters, she won’t mind, but got to let her know earlier.

2. As she claims that she’s a modern mother + grandmother, she would expect us to tell her frankly if any of her traditional (existing) baby care practice that we think it’s contradicting with the modern believes…but she says, got to tell her nicely because she’s a very sensitive person…

Hmm…I’m glad she mentioned bout point 2, but the part that she says she’s sensitive and tell her nicely, sort of made me terasa lahh…well, cause yesterday morning I was asking her if she got put powder on faythe…then I told her we shouldn’t put powder cause can block pores & become more rashes…Probably it was my *dictator* tone that has triggered this sensitive thing…but I swear I wasn’t trying to tell her off or what…it’s just that sometimes my seriousness makes ppl a bit terasa…

anyway, no hard feelings..since she already stated clearly, it’s good….act on it lorr…so from now on, no more cinema, no more shopping (without faythe)….hopefully when the maid comes I’ll have more time to organise things…this reminds me that my gym session that’s gonna start in Jun gonna be big problem…got to lug the baby there as well…

yah..Faythe’s on diet today!! Baru makan 10oz today….usually she takes about 16oz…dunno what’s wrong, I put the bottle only she started yelling!! Damn loud somemore, like got insect bite from the bottle…But she slept pretty well…after her pang sai at 130pm, I put her to sleep (sideway, with bolster supporting her back), she slept till 4pm when daddy came back…I managed to even finish my report while she was sleeping. Then she slept again on and off…Probably she’s tired, hope nothing’s wrong. Also hope it’s not the problem with the tit (i just made a few extra holes) that she refuse to makan…

Cant believe I’m actually working @ home and jaga her at the same time..if she can sleep long enough, it’s not too bad, can get some work done..also provided daddy not around….he’s very disturbing one, always mau ini itu..macam aku ni ah sei….

hmm…I realise that of late I’ve been having short term memory lost…I seem to forget things pretty easily, forgot to bring keys to see new house, forgot I was boiling water, forgot what time Faythe took her milk..and yesterday, I forgot to off my car lights (the ones between the 2 front seat). As a result of dead, battery died :(….Went to get jumpstart cable and added battery water into it.. Phewww……manage to start, drove the car to office, again I forgot that I’m working from home on Monday and left my lappy in office…..see too many instances of forgot!!

Is this really what people say “post-natal” syndrome…..u become more forgetful…must eat a lot of ginkgo to replace back all the memory lost.

Faythe is now 9 weeks and 3 days….She’s getting cuter each day, more alert and loves to talk to people. The best time is when we brings her to church…it’s simply mesmerizing to watch her sleep thru the sermon :). God bless her.

Gosh…I’m so tired I can barely think. I woke up 8am yesteday, clean up the whole house, then bath Faythe, then mop the floor, wash the clothes…everything was done up by noon. Even had time to change bedsheet, and cook phone porridge with Audrey for 2 hours!! Good huh…I never knew that life is so hectic until Faythe came along, and you don’t have a maid. It’s like everything gotta be done before she wakes up, or else it’ll be a bit too late.

Exhausted!! That’s the word….We went to see the newly painted house today finally, and goshhhh, my study looks scary. Rosepetal was ok, but shiraz turned out to be Indian Pink. So I have these 4 walls of soft pink and 1 indian pink. It was totally something that I didn’t imagine that it would turned up to be. Mun Wah’s room was splendid…Our bedroom looks OK, very greenish…..suites the bathroom. The top floor was blue…..OK lah…nothing to shout about. Sigh..am I really so bad taste…I thought it was a red!!! Anyway, contractor says I can select a new colour…kekekeke…..Or else, I just give up, paint the whole room rosepetal can lah…senang rite.. later add a mural :p

This is how I’ve evolved since birth till 2 months!! from a sleepy head to a cheerful baby..kkekeke…

Nice leh this photo…mommy specially made one kekeke…think must do this every 2 months, then bind into a book hahaha…next time can see every 2 months how much she changes :P. I’m gonna give this to faythe’s godmother as her birthday present, hope she likes it :)..personal touch mah hehehe

hmm nothing special happening last 2 days…she took her polio jab yesterday, didn’t cry as loud as her hepatitis jab 2, kekeke…..but today she’s like so weak, so tired, MIL said she didn’t sleep long the whole day…manja lah tuu

Mar 8


HELPPPP…daddy bite me!!…yah…daddy likes to bite her fat limbs…he says, wanna eat her alive LOL…so this is what we captured this morning…..see, they look alike huh kekekke…

yup..arowana died today…..poor fella…mun wah sure gonna be real sad when he gets my sms. He’s injured!! The tank too small for him…hmm…now wonder will there be change of plan for the big fish aquarium in the new house since aro has demised!!

started work yesterday, today had to work from home as there were 3 conf call in the first half of the day!!..Getting back on track with loads of meetings to attend *sweat*. So far pretty ok with work, almost finish clearing my emails…Expressing milk is no easy in HP. My floor, which I’ve just moved to, doesn’t have a fridge, so everytime after expressing milk, got to take the escalator up to 11th floor and store the milk there!! Nursing room is @ another block, so it doesn’t help too..Well, what to do, for my dearest daughter, I’ll do it until I raise the white flag.

my new workstation still not ready lah..someone gotta move and another person got to move out then only I can move in, so now I’m at a temporary workstation, all my barang still at 11th floor…jeez, hope I can settle down ASAP and start concentrate on my work.

ok..that’s all, me tired and sleepy. faythe sudah tidur pukul 10pm, hahaha not bad, mommy training her sleep early. Now me going to bed, tomorrow 730am another conf call..means got to wake up @ 630am and send Faythe over to MIL’s house by 7am!!…..Chiaooo
