Clowns

(Credits & Details here)

I don’t think most kids like clowns. Cause they are so huge (most of the time), full of make up that looks scary too. Unless probably they are older, any toddler below 3 would be afraid of them. Same goes to Faythe.

She’s OK watching Wheels on the Bus, Jesper the Clown on TV. But when she sees one in her sight, she’d runaway!!! Yeah..it’s not only once, but 3 encounters and we realised that she’s pretty afraid of it.

On one of the weekend when I went to 1u, there was Nismo car exhibition. She was very happy running around looking at the cars until she saw the clown. The clown was giving out balloons to the kids. And there were alot of kids crowding around him. Though she loves balloon, she didn’t have the gut to go near the clown. But instead, she turned around and ran for her dear life. Oh boy….and she instantly request to be seated on the stroller and asked me to push her away LOL. Look at her expression you’ll get what I mean.

This explains why he didn’t join the fun in the Mega Birthday Part Bash..but instead chose to stay in the room.

Lets hope she’d outgrow this later. But I don’t really like clown myself neither :)

Ze HK Scam
icon1 jazzmint | icon2 Jazzmint | icon4 05 30th, 2007| icon313 Comments »

I recall last week, Judy, blog bout the phone call she received from HK about the scam. I was thinking hmm…that’s the first time I hear this sort of scam. Usually I get via emails. In fact, me being the witty one, even replied their mail with some crap, just to make fun of them lah :P..see nothing better to do last time haha…

So what happen? Today near lunch time, my hp rang. Then I saw the number was +00. So I picked up. Mandarin speaking. The background was so noisy. The first thing she asked was do you speak Mandarin. Well, I told her yeah…I can understand and speak a lil. So she started yada yada…

I didn’t know it was scam till later I heard she mentioned HK…won something…dunno what lah, then instantly I recall. Then after yada yada for so long, she stopped and ask me something. Can’t remember cause it was bloody noisy and I knew it was a scam liao by then.

So I just say, sorry not interested hahaha…..

Then she said dunno what lah in Mandarin again…then pap…bye……

OOhhh..so if I don’t speak Mandarin, does it mean I can’t take that money kekeke..

Well anyways…I’m lil surprise how they got my number. Cause I don’t usually give my number to people. Although I suspect it might be a wrong number case, since my number is very easy to remember!!! I didn’t join any contest also…so can’t be me lah…somemore I so buta huruf chinese writing one, where can join contest.

Well, Mommies out there, just be careful. Times are bad, people can just create any story to cheat you, even just for a mere stupid 10 yrs old handphone :P.

I’ve taken so many photos of Vyktore with all his different expressions. I love everyone of it cause he’s just so photogenic and full of surprises. I’ve made some scrap on his many expressions, but since I don’t have a topic to talk bout it, I thought it’d be nice to showcase all his faces in just 1 single post. Easier for me to remember as well :).

Here’s what we’ve got, our latest lil model of the Hon family.

Angry

He shows his angry face, marching towards the camerawoman because the fella tried to snap too many of his photos without his permission. So he plans to go grab the camera and fling it to the sky hahaha…..

Cool

He will act cool once in a while when he’s in good mood and he wants his photo to be taken. But this will usually last only a couple of minutes as he will be too excited to see what the camerawoman has captured and again, start crawling to the target.

Stoned

He will also act stone and give the blur look during photography session if the camerawoman suddenly caught him offguard. This was his fav pose previously whenever we caught him off guard until lately, he decided to change to an even more deadly pose.

Shocked

This is his latest and greatest pose of all time. The shocking face. This one is a fluke shot as we couldn’t get the right angle and no close up. But we liked the expression so much we tried to hard to regenerate the same pose. It took us a few days until we found the right trick to regenerate the same facial expression and more dramatic one hehe…

Double shocked

This is by far the best expression and I love it so much I can look at the photo and laugh at it again and again. How we did it. Simple, we just say “Vyktore, dog chase/bite you”. All he’ll do is stop crawling, sit and turn around, look at us and give us this look. And we repeat it over and over again and he gives us the same expression LOL. Few days later, the trick doesn’t work anymore, nevertheless the best moment has been captured.

I just tried doing it again lately and it works haha…..I love it so much I did another scrap of him with the shocked face.

Looks familiar rite…yah, Jayden was also showing this expression sometime ago. It must be that boy thing LOL.

Muscular Look

The camerawoman thinks that he has got great muscles to show, so she likes to take photos of him without clothes LOL. Lucky thing, he loves doing it as well, so we didn’t have much problem getting the right pose and angle ;).

That’s the end of Vyktore with many faces in his 1st year. I bet in 2nd year, he’s gonna surprise us even more. Stay tuned!!

What to post?
icon1 jazzmint | icon2 Et Cetera | icon4 05 30th, 2007| icon36 Comments »

OK, lately PPP sucks..why because of the 6 hours window, no more 1 hour. Means what you grab, you can leave it to 6 hours only post. So it’s kinda wasting our time clicking those opp and then find that it’s not avail.

Anyway, I’m not here to talk bout PPP, but to talk bout what my readers want me to write. I’ve got some request and I’ve noted them down. Here are some of the post that I’ll be coming up with, but not so soon. I’ll try to slot them in between my scheduled post.

  1. How to format PC - requested by Cheryl
  2. Scrap tutorial - got a few I thought of, just gotta find some time to write it.
  3. How to setup Blog from Scratch - requested by quite a few Mommy
  4. How to take great photos for kids - ermm..I don’t think I’m qualify to give any briefing on this lehh…mana sifu? Julian, can pass this to you ah?

OK, anyone else got anymore request? Do leave a comment…..I’ll see if can fulfill or not haha..

I’m thinking of starting a new blog…..just that itch…but haven’t decided on it. I’m just too skeptical can’t decide on the themes and what platform. MT is very good, but troublesome. WP ermm..don’t have the layout I want. Pixel Post, haven’t really explore. Actually not 1, but 2 haha…see I’m so greedy..but those 2 blogs are non PPP.

The date is this SAT
icon1 jazzmint | icon2 Vyktore | icon4 05 30th, 2007| icon310 Comments »

OK, as much as I wanted to plan for Vyktore’s big day, we got a major interruption here. Daddy is working on that day!! Yeah, it’s Sunday work month, meaning he’s working every sunday for the coming 1-2 months. He gets this kinda roster once every 4 months…and it’s really at the wrong time. Argghh…So next Sat is not even a good idea too cause he’s on standby. Very likely kena call.

So we have decided to push it fwd this Sat!!

I quickly msn Swee to check if the cake can be ready by then…We’ve got a big surprise on the cake hehe…and she says OK, no prob. She can send over to 1u, I’ll meet her there. Yippie!!!

So at least the most important cake part is settled.

As usual, the tradition is Daddy going to cook his signature pasta. Want to know what is that…stay tuned :). MIL & SIL specially requested for it…they were very dissapointed the last time they came over and they didn’t have that pasta (during Hub’s bday).

OK, looks like we are all set for a family bday party for our Vyktore Boy this Sat.

Shall update everyone on that once the event is over.

I Want & Belli Nice
icon1 jazzmint | icon2 Faythe, Scrapbooking | icon4 05 29th, 2007| icon317 Comments »

I - the all time favourite word by Faythe
Want - another all time favourite word by Faythe

I Want Gooo
When we want to go out, she always want to follow us, never let us leave her behind. She gets very kan-chiong and she’d say:
Faythe: I want go…(part talking, part like wanna cry)

I Want I Want
When we eat something, she always wants a share, she’d say:
Faythe: uh uh uh…I want, I want…(and puts her hands out and ask us give her)

I Want This One
Sometimes she wants to select the clothes she wears or the shoes she wears, she’d say:
Faythe: I wantttt….this one!!! This one veli nice…..

—————————————————————————————–

Belli Nice - also her all time favourite word…to her everything is nice LOL

Belli Nice
On our way back home from MIL’s one evening, this was what she said:
Faythe: Vyktore boy, we go back Jie Jie’s house…
Faythe: Jie jie’s house belli nice…
Faythe: Jie jie’s house got long laiiiiiii….(pineapple - wong lai)
Faythe: Ok? OK? OK………..

When she’s eating something and tries to offer to Vyktore, she’d say:
Faythe: Vyktore..you want eat?
Faythe: This one belli nice…..belli sweeetttttt…
Vyktore: Stare at her, drooling LOL.

—————————————————————————————–

I enjoy talking to her more n more now as sometimes she can really tickle me off. Nowadays she also learn how to stop n think…she’d go I want..hmmm…hmm…eat Pizza…haha so cute :)

May 28

Ohh..I’m getting so excited, cause Vyktore is so close to walking. Well, actually it means more work, gotta jaga him make sure he don’t climb the stairs. But I bet once he starts walking, he’d be so happy..at least I don’t need to carry him haha…I really can’t carry him for long, he’s so heavy and he likes to move about *grrr*.

On friday, he was so happy to see the mini chair (belongs to Faythe - lucky we got 2 hehe), he just stood next to it, hold on to it..and keep push push push all about the living hall…Occasionally he’d get stuck, then he’d sit down..adjust the chair try again. So our house now very noisy, with all that squeking sound he’s making but I enjoy watching him grow :).

PIcture looks a bit cacat..sorry for that, but it’s copyright OK :P.

We are now leading the driver’s & constructor championship. Seriously, since I started watching F1 in 1998, this is so far the best season I’ve ever watched since Mika retired years ago. The glory of McLaren is returning!!!

Next race I think gotta give it a miss, it’s Canada GP, 2am morning :|.

Note: Tracy, I no support Kimi liao cause he 2-5 McLaren haha…I’m a pure McLaren supporter, no matter who drives also gotta support. So this year me and you kawan baik lor since ur fav driver is in McLaren kekekeke…

Hectic Saturday
icon1 jazzmint | icon2 Events, Faythe, Scrapbooking | icon4 05 27th, 2007| icon39 Comments »

We (myself and Faythe) had a really hectic Saturday plan. Need to get tickets for next month’s holiday. Apart from that, we have wedding dinner to attend in the evening.

So early morning dropped Vyktore off at MIL’s place. He’s staying there overnite as we don’t plan to bring 2 kids along for the dinner.

Then Cheryl came to our place and we head to 1u. We’ve already decided what to eat prior to the outing. So we headed straight to TGIF for our lunch. I must say that the food there is great (I like this outlet, but not the Curve one :P). We ordered 1 set menu (comes with appetiser, main course, dessert) and another shrimp paella kinda food. The servings are really generous. We couldn’t finish it and in the end we packed the dessert.

Then we went window shopping around 1u. Totally forgot bout getting the tickets!!! Until after a while when we were about to go home, we remembered LOL. So we walked to the Aeroline ticket counter and got our tickets to Singapore. Yes!!! We are going Singapore next month to bunk at WJ’s place. Ex-school girls trip haha…no boys allowed!!

We went home after that…so tired…..slept and waited for Daddy to come back and then we head straight to Le Meridien to attend wedding dinner. I love the settings at that hotel. Truly amazed. This the first time I’m there, previously I went to Hilton before. Didn’t manage to take much photos cause Faythe was pretty sticky to me and the camera ran out or battery *cursing*…

She was very hungry (sorry my dear) and she couldn’t even wait for the food to be served. Good thing is the dinner started 8pm sharp. By the time came, she gobbled up 3 smoked salmon from the first main course and 2 bowls of sharksfin!! Then she had 4-5 pieces of crackers from the garlic chicken. One piece of steam fish, lots of brocolli and she calls it a night of scrumptious dinner :). The food was good, I like it personally, especially the rice. It’s steamed rice with all the goodies packed in lotus leaf and they topped it with chicken floss, slurpss…..

We reached home at 11 (luckily the wedding ends early). All so tired and hit the sack.

Oh..before I forget, the bride was so beautiful. He wedding dress…..aww…..that’s all I could describe. Very very chun!!! Congratulations, Jun & Nai Di. A Malaysian Taiwanese wedding.
