Gabriel Started Solid - 20-July-2011




























Though he look like a carbon copy of Ah Phael, seems like his eating habit is not at all like kor kor...

Was actually lazy to start him on solid food as I remember how I battle with Raphael when he was 6mth old.... no matter what I give...he gave me that look!!! (I think he can be my khaki)

Started Gabriel on Happy Bellies Brown Rice Cereals and he is very happy to eat leh! Even made some pear puree and he is happily eating them!!!! YES!

Will be going grocery shopping and looking to introduce more puree to him...Banana, apple carrot, potato etc etc...WOW!! Getting excited to do it

Attention to Daddy: Please do not feed durian!! too strong for his tender tastebuds!!

Food FOOD FOOD



















Been going all crazy over foods.... I guess when u are way underweight and still losing no matter how much u are eating..u be like me... eating food which I love n crave for!!!

I am so happy to have lose so much weight through consuming herbalife products and keeping them at bay...whats power is I am still losing bit by bit though am now 55.5kg!! hahahaaa....I dare not weigh myself anymore...wait drop till 54kg how? cham...

After on program for less than 2months, i reach my ideal weight and even went below the pre-pregnancy weight...

Total lost about 9-10kg within 2 months wor!!!!! spend less than 1k ba...
yippie... now thinking of my yummy durian!!!! wohooo

Kanten Clay


















Yes, this is Japan Imported Clay suitable for 2YO and above to explore their senses and creativity to mould whatever items they want...

Raphael can do ice cream, shapes, imaginary guns etc etc...its endless and he even tell me... the clay doesnt smell hor... I say ya... specially bought for u mah...

My verdict of this item is...
The smell is not so strong compared to playdoh etc...
The cleaning up part not as messy
Not as sticky...

I like!!

Darling Wearing My Loots!!!






The happiest thing which I can think of being a working mum with income from FT and PT really make our family life gets more comfortable and with more spare cash. Seeing them use and play with what I had purchased make my day!!!!

Its not as if previously I didnt buy alot of stuffs... Just that now i buy without the need to worry my acct left how much... Obviously my endless loots and pictures posted caused some sour grapes to feel unbalance and started to rant how toys retards kids creativity and development... Well... if u wan to mould a object using Clay, do u use the cheap material like FLOUR and do it ??? Obviously not right....You would spend some $ and get a proper toy for ur kid...Who can u blame if u opt to be a homemaker and with no income and keep complaining???? ONLY YOURSELF my dear...

I would say that only those who cannot afford to buy will say things like that... We always believe that if money is the problem, then it never is a real problem to us who are working... We earn and spend happily... Splurging on kids...isnt this what we look for end of the day?

There are pple who are ignorant... Typical M lor.... Not that I look down on them... but if this is the way u carried urself...sorry, U DO NOT DESERVED my RESPECT!

Coral Seaweed Jelly~~~




















Yeah! Ordered this coral seaweed jelly from BP and must say its yummy and refreshing!
Was monitoring the thread and saw that so many pple are buying from her...so...must be nice esp the reviews are sooo good...

After ordering a pkt, walk past the food fair at CP and saw this stall selling same thing!!! The lady was nice to let me try many flavors....end up...cannot resist and ordered pineapple and chrysantenum from that lady...

Cook that same nite and YUMMM!!! its delicious!! also...helps to create bulk and help in passing motion too!!! lol....

The Soup is nice, followed by Yummy Nasi Lemak and Chicken Rice..and a free dessert Chendol...

Episode of Block Ducts











(Above is my latest record which I achieve on 1-July-2011, 5am pump...overslept and didnt pump for ard 8hours.... got 280*3+140+70 = 1050ml or more)

I would think those who know me would love to kill me for discarding aways my excess EBM on a daily basis...
Currently am pumping at 7am, 11am, 4pm, 8pm, 12am...5 pumps yielding appx 600ml to 800ml of milk depending on how much time i have allocated myself to pump...


So is an average of 3Litre to 4Litre of milk daily...


No matter how hard i tried to feed both kids...I am always left with tons of milk to discard...


Gabriel drink 730am, 10am, 12pm, 3pm, 5pm, 7pm, 930pm, 1am, 4am.... appx 8 feeds as usually 4am feed is missed... 8X 140=1.12L


Raphael will consume appx 2 feeds of EBM, 2 X 140 = 280ML...


See...my excess is 3L- 1.4L = 1.6L, as little as 1.6L thrown away to 2.6L thrown away daily!!!


I had a few bad engorgement episode whereby now i am more religious to clear and more persistent to finish clearing ... esp ytd... I didnt feel it until after lunch..


the "blue black" feeling creeps back and it is damn bad...hurt very badly... i thought it was due to my water consumption...maybe i drink too much fluid...so feel the tingling sensation at 2pm....


by the time i went to toilet to express @4pm...to my horror i saw the big lump...its like a big piece of hard lump stuck there...wa faint...damn pain and i had difficulty clearing my right breast...even after 20mins stuck in toilet i couldnt clear it at all..


shit lor... walk also feel pain..move abit also pain...then when i reach home i cheong to pump milk... with my little phael standing there playing his game
wasnt able to clear... went to had a HOT HOT shower and keep pushing and massaging that stupid lump...very persistent...resort to using the california baby tub to roll and press hard...



haiyo...finally..after a long long time..i managed to unblock that lump...phew...

Who knows...after my that painful episode... I kana one more on Monday... 27-June-2011, that i had to go Mount E and seek a lactation specialist help to clear that stupid blockage...

It was terrible and i was in pain...great pain...when the LC saw me, she ask me "I poke for u or u go back do urself? I charge u noe?".... $ is not as issue when u are in pain...

Next was a pain which i will never ever forget and i must remind myself to drain the milk as much as i can..no playing cheat...no cut short...

now must remember to clear n clear...so who says got milk is good...
