Today is the final day in Year 2009... Last night didn't have good night as Kimi fell sick. He was ok in the day, can play and smile. But donno why during night time, around 8pm onwards, he seemed like having some minor flu and a few sounds of coughing. Hubby came back from work seemed like blaming me why didn't take good care of Kimi. Well, I don't really know how to answer him as it also hurts me as much when I see Kimi does not feeling well :( Anyway, for now, the most important is Kimi can get well very soon ~

Pity him, cried from 9 something till 11 something, carried him also cry, sat down also cry, walked him around also cry. We almost drove to Pantai Hospital after called them up since Kimi non-stop of crying. But finally found a position which he is comfortable with, so I stood up to lean him against me and put him to sleep on my chest. After that, hubby helped to feed him with some water and milk. Perhaps he was too tired after a long cry, he fall asleep when drinking his milk. So we decided to let him sleep and see how it goes on today. Luckily, he was ok when we put him to sleep on bed. He slept through the night until this morning woke up at 7am for his milk time.

This morning woke up, Kimi still has a bit stuffy nose and can hear a few sounds of coughing, but he no longer cries like last night. Maybe today he feels better after a good night sleep. He still can play and can finish up his milk. Just that can see from his face, he is a bit tired. But thank God, he is alright now!! Hope he can recover faster and be a healthy boy ~~

Ken & Janice Wedding

On Christmas day, hubby and I flew back to Pontian to attend my cousin's wedding. Ten years of relationship, finally they tied their knot on 26th December 2009. Everyone is so happy for them!! Congratulations to Ken and Janice!! You have all our best wishes ~~

I like family gatherings all the time. Whenever there is any big occasions, we will definitely gather all together and have a big gathering. This round also... All of us, no matter where are we, all gathered back at Pontian for this cousin's wedding occasion. We woke up as early as 5.30am, get ready to reach our 'Fourth Auntie' house by 6.30am. The bridegroom will leave his house at 7.30am to pick up his beautiful wife. As his 'heng tai' teams were made up from our own cousins, made this event even livelier, coz we made jokes and talk non-stop all the time. Hehe :) Ken only engaged a videographer for his wedding, no photographer. So all of us are his photographers of the day. Even the 'Tai Kum Chei' is also our fifth auntie, we call her as 'Wu Yi', my mum younger sister. Everyone has a role to play. During the wedding dinner, all of us helped out on the stage decorations, putting up the seats numbers, arranging for wedding favours on the tables, guests book signature and also acted as usher as well... Really enjoyed for the whole day!

I heard my brother told me before, some of his friends don't even know who are their cousins... don't even know what are their names or don't even bother about family gatherings. This make us treasure our family relationship even more. We really feel so blessed to be in this family where everyone is so close to each other ^_^

Looking forward for the next big gathering again!!


~ Congratulations to Ken and Janice once again ~ Wish both of you happily ever after!! Hope you enjoy your honeymoon at Bali ~

~ Merry Christmas To Everyone ~

Few days ago, I was so surprised to receive an email from The Picture Company. They told me they that came across my blog the other day and was delightfully surprised to see their company being mentioned in my blog! To show their appreciation to me, they emailed me 3 web photos of my session with Kimi and a Christmas e-card. So sweet and thoughtful of them!! Thanks ya ~~ Hubby and I like the photos very much!!

~ Today is Christmas Eve ~~ Wishing all my friends and families, Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays !! ~

Winter Solstice Festival

Today is the Winter Solstice Festival or The Extreme of Winter and in Chinese we name it as '冬至'. This festival can consider as one of the most important festivals celebrated by the Chinese besides Chinese New Year. When I was at my younger years till now, my grandma and parents will always tell us, after we eat the 'Tangyuan' (湯圓), we will grow one year older... This day is also a day for Chinese family to get together and make 'Tangyuan'. Then of course, after cook it, we will eat together. My grandma used to tell us, these 'Tangyuan' or balls of glutinous rice symbolize reunion. That is why today is very important to us as well.

So, last night, hubby and I made some 'Tangyuan' at home. Hubby only likes to eat the simpliest type which is cooked with sugar water. So I cooked the way which hubby likes it and eats together with him. Hubby helped me to roll the 'Tangyuan' into balls. So nice of him... Feel so warm when we eat it together. This morning woke up earlier to cook another batch again as today is the actual day of eating 'Tangyuan'. Hehe :)

'HAPPY WINTER SOLSTICE FESTIVAL' to everyone !!

Kimi at 14th Weeks

Last Friday, we went back to Taiping to visit Kimi. He was 14th weeks' old last weekend. This time went back, Kimi seemed like grew up a lot. Few days before we went back, according to FIL, his head still cannot lifted up strongly. But when we got back on weekend, he could actually lifted his head to show to us. Hehe... I told hubby, Kimi must be secretly trained to lift his head during the past few days and wanna tell us that he grows up again and now can lift his head to show to us ~~

Kimi likes to suck his right hand, especially his second finger instead of the thumb. Most of the time, he can suck until sounds coming out from him. We can hear his sucking fingers sounds even though we sit a bit far from him... Hehe, must be tasting nice, I supposed :) He can really smile a lot now, and getting more talkative. He likes to talk to us in his baby language all the time ^_^

This time went back Taiping, we read the nursery rhymes book for Kimi which I bought from MPH. We showed the pictures in the book to him while reading. His eyes keep on looking at the pictures, seemed to understand what we were showing to him. Perhaps the book was too colourful that caught his attention. We will read again for you the next round when we meet up ya, Kimi!!

Once every two weeks we meet up Kimi, every time is so different feel. Looking back from the time when Kimi was born 3 months++ ago, time passed really fast. Flashing back the few months of our memories with Kimi, hubby and I are so glad that we have him!!

Eagerly waiting to see Kimi again at KL in 2 more weeks' time!!

My Favourite Mee Stall at Taiping

This round back Taiping, I am about 14 weeks after my delivery date. Meaning that Kimi is also 14 weeks’ old today. I was told by hubby's grandma that if I wanted to eat seafood, it would be better to start eating only after about 3 months from my delivery date. So when I was doing my confinement at Taiping and whenever I back to Taiping before this, I need to miss out my favourite mee stall because I cannot eat prawns.

So hubby promised me, this round back Taiping, will definitely bring me there to eat. Hehe :) This old shop is about 20++ years old. When hubby was a small kid that time, this shop was already existed and it lasts until now. Really a historical mee shop!! The uncle who is the boss of this shop, is still as strong... He is the one who prepares the ingredients and cooks the mee ~~


~ Don't look down on this small bowl of keow teow soup. Although it is very simple, only soup and keow teow, once we add the curry prawns in it, this bowl of keow teow soup is really SUPERB!! It is my favourite food in Taiping! ~

~ Yummy Curry Mee ~

This mee shop is located somewhere at Jalan Stesen, nearby SMK. St. George Taiping. (It is at the opposite side of Sekolah Rendah Kebangsaan King Edward VII). This shop is opened for breakfast, perhaps until before lunch time (depends on his business of the day) ^_^

Kimi's Portraits from The Picture Company

Today I got a message from The Picture Company, informed me that Kimi's photos are ready to be picked up. So happy, it was earlier by 3 days from the scheduled date. So I told them, I will go and collect it after work today. Hubby and I are looking forward to the photos and they really do not disappoint me. A very nice set of photos and a very warm family portrait. The only disappointment is that, I walked to most of the shops that sold photo frames at One Utama, but I couldn't find a nice photo frame to frame my lovely pictures. Need to continue to search for photo frames the next time I go shopping. We shot the photos on 27th November, when Kimi is going to be 12 weeks' old on the next day, ~ 28th November ~


~ I scan these photos to upload as The Picture Company does not provide softcopies. Hope they look clear to view ~

Book of Nursery Rhymes

Today I went to One Utama after work to pick up Kimi's photos from The Picture Company. Before walking to the car park, I happened to pass by MPH. Got to know that they are having some promotions for books now, and there have quite a number of toddlers' books. After browsed around, I finally chose a book for Kimi. Hehe, perhaps it is a bit too early for him now, but I would like to read some nursery ryhmes for him whenever I can spend time with him. Haha... I cannot sing well... so only can read ^_^


~ A very colourful book ~

This book after discount is only RM 10.30. I find it a very worth buy as the quality of the book also not bad and most of all, it contains quite a numbers of nursery rhymes in it. Hope Kimi will like it ~~

Sticky Candy - Unique Wedding Favours

I accidentally got to know about this newly opened candy shop at One Utama when I was online searching for some unique wedding gifts for my cousin who is getting married on Dec 26th. So one day after work, I asked hubby to fetch me to One Utama to visit the shop and see if I can get anything special or not. Finally, after browsing around and getting some information from the salesgirl, I ordered the candy with the design of 'Shuang Xi 喜' word in it. I will come to collect it when the date is near.

Each of those candy come with their own colourful design and words on it. They are packed into jars and sold for around RM 13+ per bottle. You can even customise the words on the candy, but of course the price will be much more different.


If you are looking for an unique wedding favour or a lovely present for your loved ones, you can drop by this colourful shop to have a look. Although the shop is not very big, the varieties of candy in the shop will definitely amaze you!
