4th Anniversary & few updates.

22nd Dec 2007 ~ 2011.

It's our 4th Anniversary!

No picture this year because we didn't got the chance to celebrate it.
The kids are unwell.
 Hopefully they will get better soon.

I got a PC as my anniversary gift.

The best gift ever!
Both my laptops are dying and I have been online using my phone since the last few months.
That explain why I didn't even bother about the spider webs building up in this diary of mine. Truly sorry dear..

Teddy just got back from China last month
and he'd been assigned to Sweden 2 weeks later for another vehicle test.
He's been there for 3 weeks and got back here last Sunday.

While he was away..
I gathered lots of pictures of the kids..
and put it in an album ~ 3 weeks without daddy.

28th Nov 2010 ~ 2011.

It has been a year we live here!
Our sweet little casa.
I am glad we are finally home.
It was dusty and wild grass is growing rapidly between the pebbles outside.
I didn't dare to check out the lawn behind our house as it is now starting to look like a jungle.

..UPDATES ON LITTLE LOTUS

She's 9 months old now.

Jumpy, active little girl ..
and she never fails to melt my heart
every time she put a smile on that pretty little face.

She crawls every where.
Mouth every things..
and freaks out when she didn't see me.

Yesterday I just found out her 1st tooth has just popped out!


..UPDATES ON TEDDY JR.

He is certainly a fine young man now.
A caring big brother.
His vocab is getting better and can communicate clearly now.
Malay is his 1st language and I still need to teach him English words.
He can counts until 10 and recognize letters in image form.
Eg : He saw 'SAMSUNG' advertising and suddenly he said that is Mommy's phone!

Being more independent by days
and started to gain more confidence.
He started to build friendships and that really made me proud of him.
I used to be so worried that he will always be under my arms,
scared to stand on his own.
He proves me wrong, big time!

Phew..
My blog is finally updated.
Via new pc.. of course.
Thanks my dear Teddy.
We love you so much.

Little Lotus at 8m++

Other than her best ability to mess up the house,

She now can clap her hands!

Saw it this morning and that really made my day.

She will need to master the art of climbing down though..

Leg 1st, not your butt dear.. hehe

Lost World of Tambun

We are finally here!

Teddy Jr is currently enjoying himself splashing the water.

My Little Lotus is not really a water baby.

She freak out when her little toes touch the water.

Then I found out that she hates the cold water.

She loves the hot spring!

This place is perfect for us.

Cold water for Teddy Jr. and hot spring for Little Lotus.

My girl is currently deep in slumberland.

She's warm n curled up in my arms while I'm typing this blog.

What a great day for us!

7 months old - Elise

I owe you her 6 months old milestone.

Truly sorry my dear..

Mommy's laptop is dying.

My Little Lotus can crawl n sit independently now.

Starting to stand n trying to cruise around the furniture.

She's truly a mommy's baby girl.

Separation anxiety even I'm not around.

Hard to walk away from her even though for 5 split seconds.

She will only stop her tantrums when I hold her.

Works everytime!

Abandon

Dear Diary..

Please accept my apology for abandoning you.
24 hours seem not enough for me to do everything.

Now I am in Batu Pahat.
Teddy's away in China.
Absence makes the heart grow fonder.
I miss him already.

Lazy update.

Dear diary..

I cut my own hair today.

Finding me

As a SAHM, I'm totally devoted my life to my family. I gave up my social life entirely long time ago after that decisian being made.

It has been 3 years now. Sometimes I feel like losing my self. Losing my mind. I forgot how it feels to be selfish. I forgot how it feels to pamper myself.

Some of my friends are gone. Maybe for good. I am out of league. It's no point to invite someone with 2 small kids to a get together party at a non-baby friendly places. Of course I will say no.

I started to build myself. Collecting pieces of me that being scattered away along the road to success. I struggle to learn new things. Things that will help me to remember that I am still useful to the world. Not just to my family.

It's not easy. The only me-time I got is when both my kids are asleep at night. Panda-looking eyes is my absolute new look.

My new obsession in android world did a great job in helping me to bounce back. I now feel that I'm useful again. Sharing unlimited knowledge and helping others. There are still tons to explore. Please forgive me dear Diary for ignoring you. I won't give up on you either.

Aidilfitri 2011

Salam Aidilfitri.

Kami serba pink tahun ini.

Baju raya kami tu sangat istimewa.

5 months old - Elise

My Little Lotus, Elise is 5 months old today.

Weight : 6.6kg

(I told you she lost some weight..)

Milestone:

- rolls over back and forth.

- moves forward and backward.

-starts to lift her butt and shoulder to crawl.

- this mommy's little girl has separation anxiety when I'm not around.

- mouth everything within reach.

- recognizes her name.

It's been a while I didn't blog about Teddy Jr.

The biggest 'baby achievements' seems over after he started his first step.

Actually no. That is not the case.

He grew so fast and his brains develops rapidly.

Too much achievements for me to record.

His speech abilities seems getting better that he now can have a conversation over the phone.

My Teddy Jr. always make me proud.

He is a great and loving little brother.

He will not do anything that make his sister hurt.

Now our little casa always filled with laughter.

Sometimes with shouting then followed with loud crying.

Happening. Made me 'pening'.. hehe..

but that made my heart always warm with people I love.

Kuantan (part 4 - final)

As promised.. here I am, blogging about the final part of our trip.

Here are the list of my previous entry..

Kuantan
Part 1.
Part 2.
Part 3.


Last picture before check out hotel.

After check out, we went for a walk at Kuantan riverside.

Then we head to Ayuni's new crib.
It was cosy and lovely. Simple with modern design.
I love it!

Kimi and Fea. They both look so cute playing together!

From left : My ex, my future daughter in law, my best friend - Ayuni, me,
my daughter, my son and my other half..

Did I just said 'my ex'? hehe.. Yes, it's true. Sorry for hiding this from you, my dear diary. 

Somehow I think I got the talent to erase any sort of my bad memories.

I kept it away at the deepest place and not within reach.

It happened so long ago. Now he's no more than my best friend's husband.

Thanks to him I got to know Ayuni.

I love her and glad that she is one of my BFF.

She's the one that stay by my side during my ups and down.

At first it all started with hatred and lots of tears being shed.

..but later on I began to accept that things happen for a reason.

I learned a lot and started to bounce back.

After all, I consider myself very lucky

to find someone like Teddy to love me for the rest of my life.

Sometimes..

You just need to kiss a few wrong frogs before you find the one that will turned out to be your prince charming. 

See? My life is a fairy tale. Or maybe I'm just the type that love to build castles in the air. :p

Moving forward

She's trying her best to reach the remote control.

Try harder little one! :-)

Milestone - Elise

My Little Lotus will be 5 months old next week.

She already started to 'move forward' yesterday.

Not yet crawling but that made me aware that she's now more mobile

and can't just simply put her anywhere without guardian.

She develops her own personalities now.

1. Independent - she didn't rely on me nursing her or anyone rocking her to bed. She will drift off to sleep when ever she's sleepy. 

2. Gets distracted easily. It's getting harder for me to nurse her as she move around so much now. She'll roll over to her tummy, kicks me, smiles when our eyes meet and turn her head to any sound she hear.

3. She's getting better in expressing her emotions. More laughter especially when I tickle her belly and underarms. She laughs when she saw her brother jumping around the house or playing with toy guns. I love to play the 'kissing game' with her flawless, soft cheeks and sometimes she'll try to avoid my kiss. 

4. I can see her delighted face and bright little eyes when I came near her (especially when she got cranky in her Daddy's arms). She is mommy's little girl after all.. Hehe..

5. Her weight seems to drop due to her eagerness to explore the world around her and less nursing time. She hates to be forced to nurse and will bite me if I try to. Nothing to worry since it is normal for a healthy, active baby like her. As long as I make sure she did not dehydrated and offer her to nurse more often. 

6. She sleeps on her tummy and fingers in her mouth (although I try to turn her around few times without luck and will still end up with that position). 

7. She started to grab things and will 'move forward' to things she wants. 

8. Knows her name.

New obsession - Android.

I owe you 1 last update about our Kuantan trip.
I will blog about it later. I promise.

Now I got myself into a new obsession - android world.

Yeah, I know. Lame.
I just got a new android phone and this will be everyone's obsession..
..and it will fade out later on.
Really?
I just hope not..
because android offers a lot to explore. It's a new world without boundary.

lock screen - iphone wannabe.

MXHome launcher - theme BlueWatch

1st page : My favourite apps.

Will (or maybe?) blog about it later.

Rooted - I am a Superuser. 

(and supermom? hehe)

I even did a few fix for my GPS reception.

I replace the gps.conf in the system/etc for asian server.

Then modified my AngryGPS setting.

I will not elaborate about it because I can see you yawning.

("What is she babling about?" - I can read your mind too.)

There is some improvement

but that still didn't satisfy me.

Teddy was really into GPS based apps and I hate to disappoint him.

Then I stumbled upon this fix..

Taraa!! Yeah..ugly in the inside.

Teddy did that for me.

Somehow he managed to find the aluminium foil inside his car.

I am planning on flashing my ROM.

Either the latest XXKPE or European version XXKB3.

That comes with a huge risk and will void the warranty.

Later!

Will need a green light from Teddy first.

Might take me a year to get that.

(After the warranty void, of course)

After all, it's his money I'm putting on the line here. Hehe..

Sometimes it's easier to have a 'normal' housewife
with cooking and house chores in her mind.

Special delivery

I just got a special delivery.
It's a suvenier from Sabah.
Thanks Pejah!

Really love it..
saaaayang Pejah! hehe

Rolls over

Dear diary..

If I don't capture this moment,
I'm afraid that I will forget

She can rolls over! Finally..
She spent more time on her tummy now.
Next in no time she will be more mobile.

Dreamland

I just realize about this post. I never intend to blog about this picture. It must have been Teddy Jr. who accidentally post it via my phone. There is no need for me to remove it. I do love this picture. ..The looks on their face when they are deep in Slumberland - priceless.. Good night my child. Mommy loves you so much!

Kuantan (part 3)

Dinner : Ana Ikan Bakar Petai, Tanjung Lumpur.

Total : RM80 ++

Recommended! 4.5 out of 5 stars. Everything was delicious except the watermelon juice was too sweet for my liking. If you want to go there, make sure you come early. If not, you'll end up standing in front of the restaurant waiting for empty seats.


Breakfast : Buffet at Seri Malaysia

Phew.. I know. You will blame me for posting food pictures during this fasting month. Hehe..


..to be continue..

Kuantan (part 2)

More details about our trip here.
I used to travel a lot before this but sadly, I almost forgotten about the details.
The reason : I didn't blog about it thoroughly!
I hate to regret about it but now I will spend more time to update about my journey.
One day I will be flipping through every pages in this diary and flashing back these memories.


Day 1 : 29 July 2011 (Friday)

We arrived in Kuantan around 1pm. Teddy drove and stopped at Sultan Ahmad Shah mosque to perform the Friday prayer. Then we head out to find something to fill the empty stomach.

We had our lunch at Warung Pok Su & Mok Su. I refer to this blog before we went there. See, I did my homework! hehe..

Check in : Seri Malaysia hotel (3pm++). We went out for a swim at their 'not-so-big' swimming pool. Uh, more to splashing water than swim actually. It was a bit too deep for Teddy Jr. and too shallow for an adult. The depth was just slightly above my waist. Didn't really matter since we pay for a low budget hotel. Most important was Teddy Jr. really had a great time there. So was my Little Lotus. She jumped with joy when I dipped her little toe inside the water.

Evening : 6pm

We went to the beach - Pantai Teluk Cempedak. That was the 3rd time we went there. Refer this page for previous vacation.

More photos but this time with better quality. Taken using Teddy's old and trustworthy camera of course. Here are some of my favourite shots.

..to be continue..
