Rekindling old passion
My sister just reminded me of what I loved to do before I got Ethan. Sudoku! Oh I tell you. I’ll bring my Sudoku everywhere I go! To work, to eat, to the airport, meeting (hehehe.. ), everywhere! To those of you who haven’t heard of what Sudoku is, the objective of the puzzle is to fill a 9×9 grid so that each column, each row, and each of the nine 3×3 boxes (also called […]

6×6 of glamour
Ethan got his first taste of ‘glamour’ in the February-March 2009 issue of mychild magazine. He got a 6x6cm photo of himself published in the ‘Kids at play’ page. It was relatively easy to get his photo published I guess, for this being the first time I submitted his photo. All I needed to do was to email the editor a photo of Ethan with his contact details. They don’t even require a printed out […]

Rascal King @ 19
Ethan turns 19 mths old today. The first thing he got this morning was a trip to the paed for his DPT booster, and HIB + Polio jab. It came late this time around because he was not too well during his 18 mths mark hence the advise to delay the jab. I remembered the last jab he took was like 7 months back when he just turned One. He weighed 9.1kg and his height […]

CAP warns of ovarian cancer risk in talcum powder
Instead of using talcum powder which poses health risks, consumers should use traditional bedak sejuk (rice talcum), says the Consumers Association of Penang (CAP). The association made the call following finding in the US that suggest that women who use talcum powder are 40% more likely to suffer from ovarian cancer. A website that provides medical news, http://www.news-medical.net/, reported that the study also revealed that the risk was greater still for those with a certain […]

XXL
It was raining yesterday evening and we did not get to go to the playground. So we played in the porch instead. An hour later, I brought Ethan to the bathroom for him to pass urine when I discovered a BIG swell on his body. Oh my my, something must’ve bitten/stung him! I quickly took off his shirt but was unable to find the ‘culprit’ who did this to him! I asked him if it […]

Google Merryn’s needs
I got tagged! Thanx Kristie for this very fun tag. The way it works is you type your name in Google and then needs i.e (Merryn needs), and see what comes up! Oh my… it is astonishing to see what came out to be MY needs… Here goes… Merryn needs a woman– Okay, this sounds creepy enough. Why would I need a woman? The only woman in my life right now is my mother. In […]

To buy or not to buy?
Ethan has the least toys at home (comparing to other kids we know). We seldom get him any toys and the last toys we purchased was last year during the E-Toys warehouse sales. He never requested for any new toys too. Whenever we bring him to Toys ‘r’ Us or any other toy shop, he will just play and leave it once we are ready to leave. But last Saturday was a different story. We […]

Can I buy you some love?
I read with utter shock and disbelieve when a fellow blogger friend revealed that he has only budgeted RM20 for a gift to his wife this Valentine’s day. But after the shock subsided, I think that his wife is indeed lucky for him to still be thinking of what to get her although it was only RM20. Darling has warned me weeks earlier that he will get me nothing tomorrow. And I know he is […]

A man and his wheels will never part…
I got this car for Ethan many moons ago. I purchased it at a bargain at only RM30K! (Alrite, alrite… RM30.00++). I got him a personalised registration number (his initials and birthdate :P). I decorated it with his trademark smileys. I added on some stickers to make it more interesting. But he did not like it. He never like it until recently. Now, he will ask for it first thing in the morning and will […]

It will come sooner or later
Since the posting of Ethan’s reading video, I’ve got some good comments and some not too good comments off-blog. Some has even labelled me Kiasu. Okay. I need to make things clear here. Every child will learn to read in their life. It is only a case of how soon or how late he or she will learn it. During my days, the kids normally learn to read at the age of 5 and above. […]

Learning to read – Phonics vs Whole Word Approach
I am sure most of us would like to teach our little precious to read as early in their lives as possible. But not many knows what method to use. Generally there are two methods most commonly used in teaching/learning reading, the phonics way and the whole word approach way. The phonics way is reading by making sense of the spelling and sounds of the word while the whole word approach way is reading by […]

To him they’re balls…
Ethan talks when he was 10 mths old but only walks unaided when he was 14 mths. Now at 18 mths old, our daily conversation goes like this… Ethan: Mummy, Atan hungi. Make milk, piss. (Alright, it was suppose to be ‘please’ and yes, he calls himself Atan! And yes, he can talk THAT much!)….Got his milk.Ethan: Lie down, dink milk. (dink=drink) He has a tendency of telling me what he is doing. Ethan: Baby […]

Me against the Mozzies
I dislike mozzies. Simply doesn’t like them. Never liked them and will never like them. I tried every products there are in the market to get rid of them. From the simple cream application to the more sophisticated patch. Now I am trying something more costly, the Electric Mosquito Killer. My FIL had just recovered from the dreaded Chiku disease. Knowing that we will be spending our CNY break in both Darling and my hometown, […]
