Cloth diaper.....

Ah, I blame you... you got me so addicted to these pretty printed cloth diapers because you described it so well that I just have to have them. Yet, what you said is just so true. They are fantastic..... And with the ultra friendly tau keh soh(lady boss), I just couldn't resist and kept asking for more.....

Yeah!

Finally...... my baby accepted swimming pool.

After 3 weeks of effort, Naomi accpeted the swimming pool; still refusing to sit in the float, but at lease she starts to like playing with the water.

Now, my mission yet to complete, get Naomi to eat solid! She hates taking solid food, be it porridge, baby food in jar, rice cereal.... She did show interest in porridge at first, but after 5 days, she started to shut her mouth tight whenever I tried to feed her. Argh!

Bad service...

I went to pick up Papa Sze the other day from KLIA airport. I had to collect the tickets for Papa Sze to return to Bangkok, so I brought along Naomi and waited there at the ticketing office at 3rd floor. When I took my number, 8 people in front of me. Fine, first come first served.

After half an hour, Naomi started to lose her patient, she didn't want to stay put there anymore, kept screaming... It was ridiculous, there were so many people, yet there was only 1 counter for economy class ticketing service, and there were a few of them standing behind, holding some paper talking for half an hour there... They should see so many of us were waiting; me with a baby; an old lady on a wheel chair; another injured lady on a wheel chair; and others who were so eager to get a ticket!

After 1 hour and 15 mins, even Papa Sze had come out, finally my turn, and you know what? The lady told me that, "sorry, server down." I got so pissed off and asked if there's anything she could do. You know what that b*itch said,"nothing I could do lar, your nasib tak baik(bad luck)." then she walked away. What the f**k??????

Seriously, MAS need a really good hospitality training for their ground crew. Their cabin crew might be nice, definitely not their ground crew. Why still fly with MAS? Just because I need to collect frequent flyer points....

Arghhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!

Lots of people waiting...

Empty counters...

Naomi is teething....

Naomi is teething.... 2 at the bottom! :)

She showed no sign of teething, I didn't know it until today. In order for me to have a peaceful lunch outside, I gave her a slice of cucumber to bite. After I took away her cucumber, I saw whitish thing in her mouth, at first I thought it must be the cucumber seed... so I put my finger in trying to take it out but to my surprise it's her teeth! Happily called Papa Sze at Bangkok, he got very excited too!

Ha! My girl is teething....

Busy weekends....

*phew*... I don't think I want to have another baby... We had a very very busy weekend. My brother and his family paid us a visit in KL. Naomi got to meet her cousins!

On Saturday morning I got my day off together with my brother and sister-in-law for Japanese Buffet at Jogoya Starhill. We left 3 babies at home with the maids and my parents, muahaha, I need some break. So, in order to reward myself for shedding off some kilos in 2 weeks(do not congrat me yet, I still have like plenty more to go.), I decided to go for buffet. Jogoya, a very nicely decorated restaurant, expensive though, RM78++ per pax for lunch. Worth it? I am not sure. It is not bad, but probably I expected too much from all the good words from others. The oysters are very big and abundant, sashimi are well cut and fresh. Hot dishes.... not too much selection I guess, or did I miss them? But desserts are really good.

After we had our good meal, of course we have to head back home straight so that both our breastfed babies are not in hunger. Hehehe...

The house was in a chaos, toys everywhere, mattress on the floor of living room so the babies can play and sleep on it, toddler screaming for mama, for swimming, for playground.... that's why I start this post with the phrase. Naomi got all excited too, kept screaming and pull her cousin Angelina's hair and made her cry, Sigh.... bully. I start feeling sorry for the kid that's going to sit with her in the kindy already...

There, Naomi bullied Magdelina who is 3 months younger...

And, Naomi bullied Angelina who is 2 years older....

Tag- Food around the world

I got this tag by the cutie Misha, 2nd tag, and I have to scratch my head so hard to think of one thing that I really like and to talk about it. I love food so much, how to name only one of them?

Hmmm... let's see... I like... Satay, the local version of western kebab. It may have originated from Indonesia but it is very popular in Malaysia too! It is chunks of marinated meat of chicken or beef on a bamboo stick as skewer. The meats are marinated with tumeric, salt, sugar,shallot,garlic,cumin seed, corriander seeds and other spices, then treadle a few chunk of meats onto the bamboo skewer and grill on a hot charcoal bbq grill. It is also served with rice cube called ketupat, onion, and cucumber, ahhh, and the very delicious peanut sauce.

Yum-yum... I am on diet and now I am having all kind of delicious foods running all over my mind.... Argh... And I have to look for the picture of Satay on google... Arghh.... So cruel...

Here comes the most difficult part, definitely a lot of people have done this.

Naomi is 6th months plus...

I've forgotten to jot down about Naomi turned 6 month while I was in Bangkok, now she is 6th months and 2 weeks...

And I finally started her solid for about a week plus now.... no good, I am a hopeless mum. I couldn't get my girl to swallow... 1st day I started her with rice cereal with expressed breast milk, made it watery, she swallow 2 spoons, then spitted out. Then until the 3rd day she shut her mouth tight and pushed away the spoon... Until today, she started crying once I put her in the high chair, I think I've frightened her a bit... I've tried rice cereal, baby food in the jar, mashed banana, apple juice, farly rusk biscuit.... all out... Sigh, waiting for mum to come over to teach me how to cook porridge for my little one and probably do a demo for me to see "how to feed a baby correctly"...

I am just hopeless....

Today I realised that she can sit on her own without any assistant. I was a bit worried that I almost tempted to buy the Bumbo Seat for her to learn to sit. Phew, luckily I didn't do anything silly yet. She could sit down on her own for about 15 minutes, then she will start to scream for attention so someone would pick her up, I think she must be tired to sit on her own for so long...

Papa Sze's movie session in Thailand....

Papa Sze is not coming home this weekend, so he called and said he is going to watch "Pirates of the Caribbean 3" in one of the cinema nearby his hotel. Since I can hardly go to watch movie nowadays with Naomi so clingy to me, I will have to let him go watch it alone...

After few hours, he called again and told me his experience in Cinema. Here goes, he bought the ticket and went in to the cinema, found his seat, happily he sat down waiting for the show to start lar. As usual, movie previews, advertisements..... and all of a sudden, everyone just stood up! Papa Sze got all shocked and thought if it's the fire alarm or something, he prepared to run.... then other audiences started to sing in Thai; he looked at the screen and realised that there's the photo of the Thai King... so he guessed everyone should be singing "I love Thai King" or something like that... He quickly stood up and opened his mouth to pretend singing as well (God knows why did he wanna do that). Finally, the movie started... and the movie ended.

A boring show he said, but what an experience....

Swimming....

Arhh... yesterday I took Naomi to the swimming pool for the first time... And... she hates it! I couldn't understand why? She started crying once I put her into the pool. I've taken it slowly, I let her sat by the pool and then slowly took her into the pool but still she cried!

Or too cold maybe? Hmmm, I will try again today, I think she will slowly get use to it.... I hope.

Naomi in her swimsuit.....

My Naomi....

After coming back from Bangkok, Naomi is very clingy to me. She wants me to be with her all the time just like the time we spent in Bangkok.... but I am trying to make her get use to my maid, again.

And frankly, I quite miss the time we had in Thailand, just the 3 of us, very nice, with no distraction of TV program(half of it in Thai and the rest, not interesting) and internet access(didn't bring along my laptop). I realized that I was able to give full attention to Naomi! And I couldn't "push" her to the maid too. I played with her, told story(not that she understood, or maybe she did), sleep with her on the bed etc... Naomi was very happy to have mummy to be with her all the time I guess. She became so clingy to me now....

She will be kicking her legs and smiling with her arms wide open whenever she sees me.... Arrr... my daughter, I love her doing that so much.

I guess I won't mind doing this mothering job 24 /7 for the rest of my life!
