My Leon boy is down with HFMD!!!!

Oh dear! My darling is down with HFMD...It's seem like a season now ler after I read from this 2 mummies annie and sasha blog as their son just recover from it...I still haven't see him yet as just came back from Taiwan to handcarry parts back from our group company there to Malaysia. Horrible trip...will update later....

Buzy sending message and sms to call off to cancell his 1st birthday party this coming Saturday 1st/Nov. Of course I don't want later spread to other kids ler....

Luckily I have sil who bring him too see doctor while mummy is not around. Paeds say he got the HFMD due to contact with other children...(must be he got it during open house that day as we went to 2 open house but dunno which house lor) Paeds also say no worry mild niah lar but still worried mar...Mil told me he been cranky as when feeding time or thirsty he can't drink as mouth pain due to ulcer...soiled about 10 hankys per day....

Get scolded from my mum as she say already told me not to bring my son to crowded place. She say "you never read newspaper meh? so many HDFM cases recently still want to go party party and what's more come back home late nite"

So tell mil that not going to bring him home tonite as need to do 1 round of house cleaning first..will pick him up tomorrow morning.


Sorry Darling, mummy is not around beside you when you are in the pain...you know how I miss you but hope you understand as mummy is busy with the works...Daddy and mummy love you as always....Take care ya! and get well soon...Looking forward to see your normal action back.

Birthday Bash

Not for my son lar...been to 2 birthday parties for continuously past 2 weekend...how time flies as after their 1st birthday, my son's birthday is coming up as our babies came out to the world almost at the same time...still don't know how to celebrate whether to have mini party, or crowded one or private one amongst family members only as I think he still cannot understand what's going on and meaning of birthday lar...Thus, at end the adults who enjoy the yakking, chit-chatting, gathering while other kids running around...


But definately a simple cake is a must for him on his big day!..Tought of having him a Barney jelly cake instead. Maybe will make a order from Madam Lee...



Some photo shots for 2 birthday parties that I went...
1st birthday party - My ex-colleague Zalika's son celebrating 1st birthday 11/Oct/2008

Now you know why the twins girl looks pretty? You see their mummy lor.. Looks pretty and elegant leh...hahaha




Out of sudden, the twins cried due to Birthday song played too loud...1 cry the other will also cry...sweat...





After some "cooling session" from mummy they calm down...as always mummy is the best theraphy rite?


Looking at the adorable twins girl makes me itchy to have another bb girl lar.....(saliva dropping down) Hey wake up!...Of course not now at this moment...raising a child now is not easy as living cost is getting higher and higher besides economy is not doing well out there too.....sigh....

Daddy and Mummy Proud of You!

I must jot down this....before my brain went short-circuit again...very forgetful nowadays....This is the best achievement of my lil's one at the age of 11 months & 1 week++...remember about his potty trained ?


Actually my mil did told me before that there is one day he told his grandma that he want to pooh wor...but I told her maybe it's coincident for that day niah lar....the story goes like this, she is feeding him water but he refuse to drink by stretching his whole body and say "ng ng ng" then my mil ask him "what are you doing"? "like want to pooh pooh one"...he keep on repeat "ng ng ng" so she try to put him on potty...really pooh lor....



Recently pulak, last week Friday (17th/Oct/2008) kekeke..kiasumum is like that hor..wht's more jotting down the date....he is with my mum as mil went back to TI...my youngest sister told me the story..she say the lil' one crawled to her and say "ng ng ng" and same question ask him "what you want"? you want to pooh ar"...he repeat "ng ng ng" quickly take potty to him and it's true lor came out 3 pcs with quite a good size....mine you...beh tahan...fully described with how many shits out....

And this.....

maybe he is thinking what others new achievement to get another praised from his daddy and mummy?

Potty Trained since day 1

I've heard many mummies out there who will have nightmare when come to potty train their child. They just refused to sit on the potty..some will yelling or screaming loud when see the potty coming to them...hahahahha...I'm glad because my Leon boy were potty trained since the day he born. He likes us to pull his legs up and ask him to poo....but still will happen lar once a while he'll poo in his diaper...Thus, I've save quite a lot of wet tissues as well....lol....

"syok" playing with the mineral water bottle while doing his "big business"...



In between enjoy his Barney's DVD show

Continue playing with the mineral water bottle

Asking for help....



Of course he can't collect himself...help from his mummy lor...lol

Still enjoying playing with the mineral water bottle....

And look back to the TV when he hear Barney singing....Sigh..."Pangsai" also need some intertainment.

Well done darling..Keep it up!...Mummy and Daddy love Leon boy....

Am I getting old or I need a Magnifying Glass?

I'm going bonkers liau...What happen to me? Getting old or I need a magnifying glass?

2 silly mistake happened at the same time yesterday...I really feel bad about it as due to these silly mistake I've delayed shipment and quotation to my customer....If you were the customer who happen to read this....Once again...SORRY...SORRY...SORRY.....

1st Stupid Incident....
Thru tele-conversation :-

Mr J : "Hi, Marilyn...Thanks for your quotation but I think you get me wrong"

Me : "Huh? Why?

Mr J : "I'm asking for 2 option mar....quote for 1 set & 5 sets..please read my mail again...

Me : "Eerrrr....wait ar"....(check back his mail and open my eyes big) "Oh yalar..."I'm sorry didn't read the top column"

Mr J : "It's ok but can you send me the revised quote in 10 mins?"

Me : "I'm sorry Mr J, can I send to you tomorrow? as 5 sets of casting I need to study the cost of mold & part cost"

Mr J : "Like that ar?..OK lar...please send to me by tomorrow early morning as I need to submit to my customer in Germany"

Me : "Eeerrrr....I try I try"

Mr J : "Please help lar as there is time gap between them and us as if I can't send tomorrow morning then there will be another day to received the quotation liau...

Me : "Eerrrr....OK OK".... then hang up..(still have to say OK eventhough I know it's impossible to send the quotation to him by tomorrow morning ler) $#%&%#@&%

Why I cursed like hell as due to our small capacity we have in Malaysia, I have to send again to group company in Taiwan and hey it's 5.30pm now, who is going to do for you ler... how to re-send in 10 mins time when I know it's also impossible to send by tomorrow early morning edi...Not only that, I have to do double job besides wasting my time, company resources and etc. Thus, lesson to me lor next time please open the big eyes to read all the informations before act....kanasai... (at this time of point when I write this, I still haven's get the revised cost from Taiwan lor, jia lat)

2nd Stupid Incident....

Thru msn with customer :-

message pop up on my pc...

Mr C : "customer not available or business closed"

Me : (talk to my self) read read read...what is this ar? Oooppps!!!! open back his project file and double check....gosh!!!!! this is status update from courier service website for this customer's sample sent from Taiwan for approval but to wrong address lar!!!!!!! die die..this time die liau lar why never check when group company in Taiwan faxed me the courier service tracking number the other day? what else can I reply to him?

"Sorry Sorry sorry...I didn't double check the address that they sent, they used back the address which deliver to your house that day during "Hari Raya" long break.

Mr C : "I dun care! if the sample to arrived tmr the leadtime will still remain the same for the balance of 80 sets which is ETA on 28/Oct/2008 and blablablabla no matter what"

Me : "OK OK..my fault settle for you"

Immediately call Taiwan side and informed about this and why it happened? Feedback from her is "上次你送去哪里就哪里" (means : we just follow the address according from the last delivery address)grrrrrr........

I told her yes that time we have no choice as Malaysia were having long break for "Hari Raya" and customer's company closed so customer need to work at home to assembly the electronic components into the parts in order to meet their customer dateline. At least you ask again which address need to be sent this time right?...

Hang up the phone with Taiwan and call the FedEx's customer service. Ask them to change the address for me....luckily it can be done and parcel will be send again as per customer's factory address the next day..if not I think I have to drive down to northern side to pick up the parcel and send myself liau as happen before in my company whereby parts switched between customer A & B due to wrong air way bill stick to the parcel and this case take 3 days to settle....sweat...

Please give me a break!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The Art of Sleeping

After I become a mother, I realized that baby's growing style were keep changing every day or every week or every month. They can be whinning and cranky for first 4 months then they will be OK to take care on after that.
This is according to old folks lar...wonder it's a myth? but all this it's depend on you whether you want to believe or not and due to some babies who cry often will have stomach pain as consume too much air inside the tummy or maybe he / she cry due to stomach pain... but some old folks would say dunno kena what liau lar...dunno who say something infront of the baby liau lar n blablablabla and so on....So this is why some modern mummy out there will have some argument with confinement lady, or mil or even our own mother agree?

Some parents may listen to old folks to do that lar to do this lar as some babies were pantang to say good things infront of him / her.....blablablabla wor...
Thus, the parents will do anything as long as to get the baby to end up the crying episode lor...

Aiya... talk so much here but nothing related to the topic....hahahaha....
Here I would like to share my Leon boy his art of sleeping....first few months I need to pat him to make him sleep before put him into his cot, then slowly he likes to lie down on my chest till he knock off before throw him to his coat...Lately pulak once he fell asleep when I carry him to his coat he will out of sudden wake up and whinning..I think I can guess his meaning lar...trying to tell me that I want to share the bed with Daddy and Mummy...once I put him back to our bed he will immediately stop whinning and fall asleep back like nothing happen....sigh

No doubt our is King size bed but we still feel it's quite crowded leh...what to do give in lar so that we can get to sleep lor...

He's quote a "gentlemen" when the time he used to sleep in his cot as he will still in the same position by the next morning so sometimes in the midnite I'll change his position....
Recently after sharing bed with us...you see lar his style......

Get ready to wake up but end up......

Lie down back to refreshing himself...or may he feel our bed more comfortable than his one....

A So so so Sunday

Usually most of weekend I'll tag my Leon boy and spend the time in my mum's house as my family stay just behind my house only. She will cooked porridge for Leon boy and all I need to do is to check in and get Leon boy prepared to eat his meal...That's the advantages if closest family stay nearby us lor... but last weekend they are not at home as they went to "Hari Raya" open house at one of my sister's colleague...


Well...she still cooked porridge for Leon boy early in the morning and my dad sent to me...oh yeah my dad will sometimes do delivery also...don't jealous hor...that's make me more lazy to cook lor.....and fyi I'm a lousy cooker as well especially to estimate the quantity need for eg. 2 serving...most of the time I'll cooked more than the original serving (this always kena "hantam" from hubby).....lol....muahahahaha...

Don't know why out of sudden I feel like to cook Pumpkin and Oyster rice...not only that lar I intend to clear some of my fridge's stuff also lor....so I wake as early as 6.40am go to Pasar pagi and get some long beans, garlic, dried oyster & onions (Ok hub, I try to agak-agak the quantity need this time serving for 2)


But but but...before that let me show you guys something when I check my fridge the day before...jeng jeng jeng....


Yellow onion which keep too long in the fridge till the leaves grow nicely on it...


When I see the date..oh my gosh...see below for close up


Since 30/01/2008..you see lar how terrible I am....paiseh paiseh (shame)

OK lar...stop laughing liau....now back to the main topic....Ingredient to cook Pumpkin & Oyster Rice as per below :-

1.Dried oyster approx. 100g (can add more for those oyster lover)

2.Long beans 6 sticks (cut slices)




3.Pumpkin approx 300g (cut into cubes)


4.Garlic (chop), Ginger (cut in slices) and Shallots (chop) (this portion I also agak-agak one)
and ok I admit the gingers looks ugly and rough as I'm not good in cutting..


5.Rice 2 small standard scoop (serving for 2)

OK guys, below is the step and I hope you guys can understand as I also not good in explanation for those cooking method.

1. Fry gingers, garlics & shallots till golden brown then put aside.

2. After that fry pumpkin, long beans, dried oyster, washed rice together with fried gingers, garlics & shallots. Add some soy sauce, salt, seasoning, sugar (about 3 mins only as will cook all this in the rice cooker later)

3. Now, final step throw everthing into the rice cooker and add water according like normally we cook rice how much rice will equally to how much water consume. (this also depends what type of rice you use lor as some may need less water or the other way round).

4. Switch the ON button and wait till the rice cook and serve.
