Local maids are better
So what if our neighbouring country doesn’t want to supply their labor to us anymore? We can train our locals to be our helper, and they can do even better! :D From cleaning…. to cooking… no problem! ^^

Is swimming safe?
Ethan’s going to be TWO next month, but believe it or not, he has NEVER been dipped into a swimming pool! Darling’s always think that Ethan is not ‘meaty’ enough to go swimming, scared he gets ‘cold’ easily. So, swimming has never been in any of our activity. Yesterday though, we brought Ethan to the swimming pool. Not to swim, but just for a look. LOL. This boy, smart enough to tell me he wants […]

The ‘workout’ that keeps all SAHM slim and fit!
The H1N1 scare has resulted in me ‘locking’ myself and Ethan at home. No playground (actually because it was raining), no shopping (scared bumped into sneezing and coughing people!), no outing. Darling was complaining bored at home. I was moody as you can read in my previous post. So I use the H1N1 scare as a reason NOT to go out. So what DID I do at home the whole of Saturday? Spring cleaning! I […]

I don’t want to blog
I don’t want to get up today. I don’t want to leave my bed. I don’t want to open my eyes today. I don’t want to do anything today. I don’t even want to blog! I’m feeling all down and moody. My appetite has been bad since the day before. Darling commented that I am ‘hollow’. He said I am like a walking zombie; doing things like a robot without ‘feelings’. I listen but didn’t […]

Fell in the bathroom
I was in the middle of my class. Darling went up to bathe Ethan. Later he came down and called me. I went to see him. His knee was bleeding and there were bruises all over his legs. He was carrying Ethan. Ethan looked fine. Darling looked pale. OMG! What happened? He told me he fell, WHILE carrying Ethan out of the bathroom. Double OMG! The moment I heard he slipped and fell, the first […]

Endless battle with aedes mosquito
On any ordinary day, I’ll bring Ethan to the playground in the evenings. I just love the fresh air and being OUT of the house. It is so refreshing to see children running, playing and enjoying themselves. Ethan loves his daily playground routine too. Unfortunately, lately, we always had to cut short our time in the playground. Normally, whilst playing, we will see a white van going around announcing that they will fog our area […]

Ethan reading Mandarin @ 23mths old
I’m so overly excited right now. My little ‘Banana Boy’ can read in Mandarin! I don’t speak a single word of any Chinese dialect, but for the sake of Ethan, we got him some Chinese kindie books and started to teach him simple words such as family members a couple of days ago. Surprisingly, he gets it very fast! Even faster than when I was teaching him to read in English! Now, I myself needs […]

He likes it raw and cold
Every morning for breakfast, we will have cucumber, tomatoes, cheese, bread and a cup of hot drink. Ethan likes to have his cucumber separated from his bread and cheese. He loves biting into them while they are still cold. When the cucumber slices are no longer cold, he will put it aside and take another and bite again. So every morning, he will leave these cucumber slices for Daddy to eat… LOL. Me being the […]

Fried Potato Patties
Had too many potatoes but did not know what to do with them. So tried making some potato patties. The result? We just loved it. The fried patties was so fragrant. Ethan loves this. He can have his rice with just this patties and doesn’t even bother other dishes. I think I’ll be making more of it in the very near future! Ingredients: Minced chicken meat finely grated carrots salt and pepper potatoes (boiled, peeled […]

Country Style
Tell me, have YOU ever climbed a tree? I’ve NEVER climb a tree in my life. Darling climbed trees when he was younger and fell numerous times too. His scars reminds him of all the times he fell while trying to ‘steal‘ someone else’s fruits! LOL… My little rascal is going to turn two next month. By now, he is becoming more like his father; curious to climb trees! Back in my parents’ backyard last […]

Plucking Rambutan
We were back in my home town last weekend. My mother’s infant rambutan tree has started to bear fruits. We were busy plucking rambutans when the little rascal insists to try his hands in plucking too. Here he is, so determine to pluck that one little rambutan we left there for him. Ahh, can you see his determination? Finally, that ONE rambutan fell to the ground and Ethan is so happy as he finally plucked […]

Screwing is so much fun!
My cuz Sugar Honey was urging me to do some ‘manly‘ stuffs with Ethan. She was concerned that Ethan is spending too much time with me in the kitchen! Alrite Kym, this is for YOU! See the screw I’m holding? I’m trying to screw it back to this chair. Daddy removed a longer one just now; saying that it was way too long that it poked rite thru and hurt Mommy’s BIG bum! See! See!

Cheater’s Bake
Ethan has been watching lots of Hi-5 lately. There is one scene where he sees kids baking and has been pestering me to bake lately. Unfortunately, I am not a baker mom. So I have to resort to ‘cheat‘ baking. What is ‘cheat‘ baking? Baking using ready made ingredients. I bought this Pillsbury Cake Mix in Jusco yesterday and tried baking it today. This is my first time baking cup cakes and it is surely […]

18SX – Caught on camera
I caught these two fellas happily in action yesterday. So happy that they were totally unaware of my presence! The flashes from my camera did not even seem to bother them a little bit! I was never good in Biology during school days, so anyone out there care to tell me what are these two fellas doing? ^^ V V V VVV VVV

Patience and Perseverance
I am so proud of Ethan the other day! We were doing this paper plate fish. Since it was too simple, I thought of punching out some ‘heart’ shapes from my craft punch to be pasted onto the fish. I never expect it to be so very the tedious! I thought he will give up the moment he pasted his 10th hearts, but he kept going on and on and on. Half an hour later, […]

Melon Milk
Ever since Ethan was down with ulcer last week, I’ve been giving him fresh fruit juice often. I juiced a variety of fruits for him. He grew a liking to one fruit in particular; the honey melon. Now that he has recovered, Darling commented that Ethan looks very thin. So he bought this big box of Melon Milk to fatten him up. I don’t think this drink is fattening though. LOL! Don’t worry, we don’t […]

I Don’t Like This Mommy Blogger
Sometimes, all I want to do is sit in the corner and read. Read quietly with my favourite book. I like to flip my own pages. I love looking at the pictures. I treasure my peace and quiet time ALONE. But somehow, I got a feeling that someone’s WATCHING me! Someone who is hiding somewhere, like a paparazzi with her SLR! Enough already! This is seriously invasion of PRIVACY! I don’t like my BLOGGER MOMMY […]

A Fat Bloody Bugger
This is a fat bloody bugger. Bloody, why so harsh? I said bloody because it had just treated itself to a delicious buffet meal and is now filled with blood. It’s a bugger because it’s a bug.. er wait, I think it is an insect, oh whatever! Just want to let you know that this fat mozzie had just feasted on Ethan! Just look at my poor boy! Four bites altogether! Being the SAHM who […]

His sleeping aid
As he grows older, this ‘macho’ boy doesn’t want to be patted to sleep anymore. All he need are his pillow and bolster and there he goes to sleep. But most of the time, this boy is unable to sleep. Why? Because he doesn’t know how to keep his eyes shut! Seriously! He will force them close, but after sometime, they ended up open again! And this often frustrates him. So last night, I decided […]

My heartache
The other day Darling and I were playing with Ethan when I suddenly noticed his gum bled yet again. This time the blood dripped on Ethan’s tee. It was such a heartache to see him like that. Can you see the blood stain on his tee?
