Cute backpack

A few days back, I went to buy Eu Yan Sang's 'Bo Ying Compound' (保婴丹) ... With purchases of 8 boxes, there will be a free gift - a very cute log backpack with the soft toy bear.

Little Yu Ming was carrying the cute backpack...

Today is a gift, that's why it is called the present

This is my favourite quote: Today is a gift, that's why it is called the present.

Full quote often reads:
"The clock is running. Make the most of today. Time waits for no man. Yesterday is history. Tomorrow is a mystery. Today is a gift. That's why it is called the present."

New light weight buggy

Few days back, I went to one of the baby shop near to my apartment to buy a light weight baby buggy. It is a MyDear light weight buggy which is only RM89.90. Our existing buggy type stroller is quite big and heavy to carry, therefore my plan is to use this new light weight buggy to transport baby ZM from our house to the car park and vice versa.

McDonalds Sundae

I was so sleepy when driving on the way back home today, so I stopped by the McD drive thru counter to buy a chocolate sundae for some refreshment.


Waiting for my turn to collect my chocolate sundae.

Finally my chocolate sundae :P

Lunch at Sushi King Kulim Landmark Mall

We were having our lunch at Sushi King today during our 2 hours lunch break. Sushi King at Kulim Landmark Mall is giving a buy 1 free 1 for the same colour plates in pair.

We waited quite long for the orders and also not quite satisfied with the presentation of the sushi, some of the wrapping was loose and not details, maybe because there were so many customers (full house) and not many waitress and kitchen staffs.

The promotion was worthy as we only need to pay half of the normal price; there were 5 of us and it's only RM73.10 (Normal: RM146.20) for all the 30 plates sushi we have consumed.

3 of us have signed up for the member card and it is free under a promotion (pay using the RM20 cash voucher which is come together with the member card), me and MK didn't signed up because the application forms had finished :(.

Benefits for member card 2012 (http://www.sushi-king.com/):

1. 3 times RM2 Bonanza promotion.


2. 10% discount for dine in.


3. 10% discount for RM30 take away.

Dinner at Sakae Sushi Sunway Carnival Mall

BS brought me to Sakae Sushi at Sunway Carnival Mall for dinner, we only brought ZM along because YM was staying at his grandpa's home that night.

It has been quite some time we never visit Sakae Sushi, the menu has been updated with many new dishes and sushi and some of the prices has increased or the portion was smaller compared to the last visit (Maybe around 1 year ago).

BabyLove Night Diaper (Extra Night Guard)

Today we went to Jusco Bandar Perda to do some shoppings and there was a promotion on BabyLove Night Diapers. Free 1 pack of BabyLove playpants for each BabyLove Night Diapers purchased. I bought BabyLove Night Diapers size XL (for YM) and M (for ZM) for test use because the price quite reasonable and it is from the same company as Pet Pet diapers which my kids use for day time.

Jusco Bandar Perda

This morning we went to Jusco Bandar Perda for some shoppings. We reached there at around 11a.m and YM fell asleep when we parked the car. We put him in our baby stroller to continue his nap and went to the information centre to borrow a baby stroller for ZM. BS gave them his driving license in order to borrow 1 baby stroller and the license will be returned to him when we return the baby stroller. (Photo: ZM - 3m15d)

Opera cake

This evening BS bought me a Opera cake as a gift for taking care the children alone today during day time. We were just too full to take cake after our heavy dinner, so plan to take it for tonight's supper or just take it tomorrow.

YM was so happy seeing the cake, too bad BS didn't request for candle when he bought the cake, if not YM could blow the candles... :)

Simple lunch today

Today is Saturday but BS was going out with his friends to Penang island to have some gathering. Therefore, me and YM have some quick and simple lunch at home.

YM was having his baby porridge while I was having sea shell pasta.

Baby porridge for YM - ecoBrown's Gold Brown Rice (100% wholegrain brown rice mix - brown, red & black rice) + Meat + Potato + Carrots

My lunch - Sea shell pasta + Prego pasta sauce + 1 pc cheese + meat

Yu Ming 18 Months old injection

Today we brought Yu Ming to government clinic at Kulim for his 18 months old injection. Yu Ming was so happy when we reached the child clinic as he saw a lot of children almost same as his height or slightly older or younger than him. While waiting for the injection, Yu Ming kept walking into a consultation room maybe because there were so many toys in the room while me and BS need to carry him out from the room everytime he walked into the room.

Dim Sum at Chaw Choon Raja Uda

Today Grace and Chin See came to Raja Uda and meet me up to have dim sum breakfast at Chaw Choon restaurant which is considered quite near to my apartment. I brought Yu Ming together and left BS to take care of Zi Ming. After the breakfast (about 45 minutes), they dropped me back to my apartment and both of them went to visit one of the beauty salon at Raja Uda to enjoy their facial beauty and massage.

Function at Esso Jalan Raja Uda

Today the Esso petrol station in front of our apartment was having some kind of function. We were curious of what is happening down there, so we decided to go to the petrol station to fill up our car and have some photos of the lion dance.

We've subscribed to the smiles card and start collecting points whenever we fill up at Esso or Mobil. A windmill toy was given to Yu Ming while we were filling up the smile card subscription form and we got a sticker note book and a pen for souvenir.

Today's fruit

Fruit of the day (subsidised by the company) is Orange.

Cute art work

Yummy apple pie

Today Chin May had brought some of her home made apple pies to office. And I was one of the lucky five to have tasted the delicious apple pie.

Chin May loves to bake and cook during her free time in weekends and she had posted some of the recipes into her blog.

RIP dog dog John

My father's doggie -John passed away on Friday morning (within 1.30-3.30am), a very sad news for all the family members especially to my father and my youngest sister who spent most the time with him... RIP John dog dog. his brother Robert dog dog also very sad as he didn't bark and just keep himself hiding below the car for few days. At the left is the archive photo of Yu Ming with John dog dog.

Gyro bowl

Nowadays I think the most popular bowl should be the Gyro Bowl. Some of the description on this Universal Gyro Bowl:

Gyro bowl can be picked up, tilted, dropped, and turned upside down without spilling; inner bowl rotates 360 degrees;
saves time, less cleaning.

There is a lot of advertisement and selling of the items in the Internet and also shops. Most of my colleague had bought it and ends with positive feedback.

2 of my friends are also doing the business, so anyone who is interested can leave me a message maybe you will be given a good deal.

Annual dinner - game prize

BS attended his department's annual dinner but unfortunately luck did not draw him but he was not empty handed :). He got this cute snail balloon and a water container for 2nd prize in playing game - taking the role as a gorilla in the story of Tarzan and Jane.

New helmet for Yu Ming

Yu Ming loves his new helmet so much and didn't want to take off the helmet after wearing it at home. So, we decided to take him to ground floor to take a look on our new motorbike.

Waiting for elevator to arrive at our apartment floor... Yu Ming was still wearing the helmet.

We were arriving at ground floor and our Yu Ming was on his way to see the new motorbike.

Sit on the new motorbike - Yamaha LC135.

Children play tent

Our first children play tent, it's a blue castle play tent bought at Mr. DIY shop at Jln Raja Uda, Butterworth.

BS first motorbike

Last night we went to collect BS's motorcycle - Yamaha LC135, it could be considered as his first motorcycle which is registered his name. I think it had been 6 years plus he never ride on any motorcycle since he graduated from U.

He thought of buying this model of motorcycle with the reasons of:

1. Staying at a high density town with bad traffic during peak hour, having a bike would be convenient if we only want to travel to near by shop or store.


2. Having a auto clutch motorbike he is still able to hold our kid if needed with his left hand.


3. The space between the handle and seat, is to put a basket therefore the kid can put his leg inside and hold the handle comfortably.


4. Other reason that he never tell me?
   

Very first post

Hi... for anyone who is reading my family's net book, let me do some briefing about my family.

I am a mother of 2 baby boys and we are staying together with my beloved husband in a comfy little apartment at Butterworth Penang. I am a working lady during weekdays and full time house wife during public holidays and weekends. My husband (BS) is working on front half shift for 12 hours a day, 3/4 days a week including Sunday. Basically we only have our precious family day on every Saturday.

Our elder boy - Yu Ming () born in April 2010 and younger boy - Zi Ming () born in July 2011, both were delivered at Island Hospital Penang by cesarean.

I created this blog page with a hope to jot down and share most of the valuable moments of my family and friends.
