Baby Logan Tan ...
o.Oh Hello Baby Logan Tan,
Welcome to the world you little baby tiger boy... weighing in at 3kg, 48 cm.. 6.17pm.. aaawwwwww...
Remember these two? Well... It is now time to say
" Congratulations to TommyTKC and Elaine" who has now officially become parents to a beautiful baby boy...
*muah*
I just can't help it but love babies.. they are just so so so cute and beautiful beyond words.. the innocence in them. *sigh*
IzGrace and the SimonYap clan headed to Klang to visit the newborn and the new parents and wow.. I forgot how is it like to be carrying a newborn. It really just sets off your motherly instinct, and of course, in my case, memories of Jaden's newborn days came flooding back.
I got to carry Logan despite Hubby opposing to it. Hubby is just scared of the little one where the neck still does not have strength, or maybe it just ain't his kid and that makes him even more scared than ever to handle a newborn. I remember him being a natural with Jaden last time. =) =)
Jaden came to see the baby!
Elaine has got through the birth without any anesthetic help, which seemed a little traumatic to me when she told us her birth story. I am sure she will get over it once the little baby coos to her, grabs on to her tightly, curling his oh so tiny fingers around her...
My respect to her for going through the natural birth without the help of any other medicine and having to endure all those pain. *hats down* I am sure I am not that strong a woman to go through those pain...
All in all, he is a beautiful healthy boy borned and both mother and son are just as lovely as ever!

...Ungraceful ageing...
I look into the mirror and all I see is a 27 year old, now feeling like a 37. But how does a 37 year old feel for real, I would not know for that would be 10 years down the road for me to find out... but still..
The signs of ageing is starting to show on me so prominent.
The wrinkles around my eyes, crowfeet tells me I am no longer the youthful girl I once used to be, not caring a thing for eye creams and now here I am, trying to figure out which eye cream would work best for me to at least delay those signs showing on me..
The elasticity of the skin, once like the baby's smooth butt is now dry and haggard, with proofs of struggles with a young padawan at home, *abusing* those one slim arms (now fat), the roughness of the hands once pampered with lots of hand lotions (now, there is no time for all these when handling a 2 yo) and the dryness that follows under the hot rays of sun.
Caring for the body from outside, applying tons of layers of protection can only be seen as a once in a blue moon treat just because I can never really sit down and find time to do all these. Motherly duties call all the time and not wanting to apply them on only to wash them all off again, after running after the boy and sweating it all away.
Hubby would have allowed me to get whatever skincare range I want for myself but seeing that it could only be a waste of money in my case (at the moment), I guessed I will just have to save on it and re-think about it when the young one grows up a bit more and get more settled compared to now...
So from now on, my birthday wishes from now on would only be:_
Hoping for the best of health for all my family members and myself and graceful ageing.. with lots of happiness following suit.. =)
Ungraceful ageing -one of the biggest fear of all women I think.. or is it mankind? Hmmm

Wives on an island
It all started wtih Gwen posting a comment on my page, right after her Japan trip, saying she badly needs a holiday.
The nonsense then started rolling with WWei agreeing to what she said, and then facebook messages were sent out among the girls and right soon after, it became a full-fledged planned girly trip, supposedly for everybody to meet up and the only time everybody might be back in Penang/Malaysia would be the Chinese New Year time.
Mind you, the email was sent out very early September and just in a matter of that one day, everybody came to an agreement of choosing a local beach destination. Me, being the housewife at home, with lots of time compared to those working ladies, I was in charged of doing more research on hotels, flights and getting everybody to agree on that one date to go off together.
The trip was to start of with at least 5 of us in mind -Gwen, PChern, WWei, SChee & I. We knew Evon couldn't really make it cause of work commitments and her family might just take off for some CNY getaway instead.
Nearing the date, Gwen pulled out by saying she has a case going on that month and she needs to be in Australia. SChee then told me like a month earlier before the trip that she might not be able to make it due to work commitments too.. both of us kept quiet till nearing the date, 3 weeks before informing the other 2 girls and the trip nearly got canceled.
I, of course was really disappointed because I was so looking forward to this trip but if the heart ain't there, whats the use of going anyway right? In the end, both my girlfriends then made up the mind to just go and whee! SChee arranged everything to change to my name in hotel booking and in a blink of an eye, the day arrived.
I drove myself to the airport at 5am in the morning. Reached LCCT at about 6am, parked there and checked in and flew off.
Waited for the two girls to arrived half hour later than I at the other airport while I go about and tried to nego my way through with the car rentals. Pricing was crazy! I flew in from KL and the two flew in from Penang. In the end, I had the help of my father to source for me the cheapest rate for a 2 day 1 night use of a car.
We stopped by Pantai Cenang for breakfast first as it was still too early to be doing anything else and we were all hungry. It was a nice breakfast bar, which I researched the night before to see where we could dine and wined. Thankfully I did what I did. If not we would be wandering aimlessly around the island, not knowing where to go eat breakfast!
After that, we drove over to the hotel, which was located in the city. It was beautiful! Security was really tight at the hotel too. They just don't let anybody drive into the hotel. I like!
We checked in to the hotel but was informed room will only be ready at about 3pm. Shucks! It was only 11am then. WWei then decided to change in to short pants/skirt as the weather was quite hot. Both those girls were already sweating in their pants. Literally and physically! PChern decided to change only when we checked into the room. So off we went to duty free shops we saw along the way when we drove to the hotel and did some shopping first.
WWei was already feeling chilly, and we suspected that she might be coming down with fever, since she also mentioned that she has sore throat. Without thinking twice, we drove to the nearest pharmacy and made her buy panadol and some lozenges. It helped quite abit after she took two pills. We headed back to the hotel and hung out at the Breeze lounge while waiting to check into our room.
Service was great! View was fantastic! Our luggages were already taken to the room for us. Nice!
The receptionist actually came to the lounge to find us to inform us that our room was ready. Good kan? Right after we settled down in the room, we changed and headed to the pool. PChern couldn't join us to dip in the pool due to personal reasons, so it was only WWei and I. Dipping in the infinity pool, sipping to our drinks. Me and my beer, she and her some bealthy celery kiwi drink (yuck) we took quite a lot of photos.
We headed back to the room at about 5pm, bathed and all. WWei had heat rash then. *LOL* I know its really bad of me to laugh at her but she looked swollen here and there. We waited a bit for her swelling to subside and off we went to search for dinner.
We headed back to Pantai Cenang since she wanted to buy some batik sarong tie dress and only at this beach, we saw a number of nice looking ones compared to those in town. I actually wanted to have seafood but those girls weren't really a big fan of seafood and the smaller one can't be taking grilled stuff, so oh wells, might as well be safe and enjoy the rest of the holiday!
After dinner, we walked and shopped around a bit before heading back to call it a night. By the time we were all done, bathed and all, it was only about 11pm. PChern and I then finished a bottle of ice wine to ourselves and drank a few cups of Baileys too. The hotel sent us ice in a bucket! It was so good to drink it with the Baileys.
We then do best what we do best when we get together. We gossiped and after a while, guess the early morning trip did took a toil on us and we fell asleep quite an instant once lights were out. It was about 1am then.
I was the first to wake up and use the shower at about 7am. By 730am, everybody was awaken up by me because of my stupid snoozed alarm. *tee hee*
We only left for breakfast at about 9am, after both those girls dilly-dallied. So many bottles of dunnowhat to apply on WWei's face, PChern was busy trying to stuff her bag silly in order to shut it properly.
Speaking of bags! WAH! I thought I was already over the top with the clothes I brought over just for a 2 days 1 nigth trip. Those girls beat me hands down! Especially WWei who told me the night before she is only bringing a small hand luggage. She brought over 2 FILLED UP TO THE BRIM FULL hand luggages. *shakes head*
Breakfast was good.. and so was what that happened after.
Three of us had a spa session each at 20% discount. Some chocolate mask spa and all three of us fell asleep when wrapped in the chocolate. The spa area too was wonderful. So serene. PChern's and my room was next to the beach, so we could also hear the birds chirping outside. The spa did indeed live up to their name -Heavenly Spa.
After spa, we headed out to the town again to buy whatever we wanted to buy back home. I bought more chocolates for Jaden, 2 dark chocolates, 3 long Heineken tins @ RM3.30 per tin and a carton of ciggie for Hubby and 1 Reese Peanut Butter chocolate for myself. PChern was sweet enough to give me the unfinished bottle of Baileys to bring home too. *gRin* Sweet isn't it?
I left for the airport first since my flight was like 2 1/2 hrs earlier than both of them. They decided to take a cab to the airport instead. They bought chicken rice from the town and took it back to the beach area by the spa to eat and enjoy.
By the time I was queuing to board my plane, both of them just reached the airport.
*sigh* It was really a good trip. I think it is one of the best thing that could have ever happened to me in 2010, in terms of getting together with the girlies!
but but but, the one person who made it all happen for me is still Hubby. Without him, I don't think I would be able to afford to go on sucha holiday. Thank you baby! =)

Goodbye Moo, Hello Kitty =)
The SimonYap clan left for Aunt Lin's at about 630pm. Jaden's and my 3rd reunion dinner with the family.
Sis-in-law & I
This year, we have a new person that joined us at the dinner table, Edmond's latest girlfriend. *sniff* Bye Kelly!
From L-R (Standing-Seating) : Aunt Lin, Herman, Pa-in-law, Edmond & Girlfriend, Joyce, Yvonne, (my empty seat), Hubby and Aunty Diana
Anyway, this year, Pa-in-law decided to grace us with his presence at the dinner table compared to last year, which is good, because what use is a reunion dinner when all family members aren't present to eat the good food together. Of course it will be complete if Ma-in-Law and Raymond could have joined us, too but they have never joined the table together before with us. The last I remembered them joining us was only at my wedding. =)
Pa-in-law was so cute. When he arrived and I acknowledged his presence there by calling him "Father", he nodded and smile at me. Two minutes later, he was looking for Jaden's mother to pass the angpow to. *sigh* When he passed me the angpow to give to Jaden, he told me married people don't get angpows anymore. Hahahaha.. well, that has been happening since 3 years ago right? I only got one angpow from him before and that was the one and only time before I was married into the family. That too, I wasn't even there in person to receive it.
I was really glad to hear that Pa-in-law was joining us and there was quite a lot of good food laid out on the table. *respect* Aunt Lin cooked it all by herself and it was wonderful-lah to be eating homecooked food cooked by somebody else.
My rude young brother-in-law, Herman, who a few days earlier told me that he had never cared for reunion dinners in his whole life. Mind you, he is only 19 but well, I don't really care if he was there at the table or not. The important people were there and I am happy. I only want the elders to be there. =)
The youngest member of the Yap clan -sleeping away
Jaden fell asleep before dinner started and woke up cranky, crying just before Hubby and I finished our dinner. Grandpa Yap tried to bribe him with ice-cream only to be retaliated with more angry shrieks and cries. Everybody said that Jaden is too garang to go near. Hubby and I just left him on the floor crying while we finished our dinner, just because the small one is crying and throwing tantrum for no apparent reason. We don't give in to such unacceptable behaviours.
I guess Jaden's crying made everybody scared and soon after, like a good 5 minutes or so, everybody disappeared. Some went out to meet their friends, some went home almost immediately and some went and hid inside their room. *LOL* Its almost cartoon-like how everybody quickly vanished when a baby cries.
Jaden finally calmed down and ate his dinner when everybody has left. Almost everybody. *sigh*
and then, that was it. End of reunion dinner.
The Reunion Dinner Dishes (guess which one is mine and Hubby's rice plate?)
Reunion dinners over here in KL is different from the reunion dinners I had for the past 22 years of my life in Perlis. We usually have dishes accompanied by steamboat which I will just whacked masuk my tummy till late at night. Here, its mostly just dishes, and of course soup.. well, guess different places and family will have its different cultures and I just have to live with it as long as I belong to the SimonYap clan.
Father & Son
Happy Chinese New Year everybody!

Me rambling rambangly
Hubby is out again tonight. Work cum party cum dinner calls. *sigh* It should have been me instead of EddyHan beside him for all these functions, damnit! BUT oh wells... *bangs head on wall - REALITY CHECK - OH I HAVE A TWO YEAR OLD TO TAKE CARE OF!
anyway, that is besides the point of this blogpost.
Jaden vomitted twice two days ago, slight fever comes and go. We have only fed him the cough meds so far. Hopefully his cough will be better in time. His poo is starting to become the soft, mushy type nearly going into the diarrheoa category but at the moment, still in safe zone as in maybe he poos only once or twice a day, which is normal for him. Making him drink lots of fluids to wash out the heat. The weather can really get unpleasant when Chinese New Year is around the corner.
Jaden has already done his CNY shopping.. clothes count so far, a set of samfu by Kai-Ma Joy who went to Shanghai about two years ago. Yea, now only he can fit into them. Just right for CNY. A hot pink shirt to go with his daddy, two more other t-shirts and three short jean pants, an orange slipper (daddy's idea of being funky) and well, a pyjama pants.
Me? I have clothes that sits hanging in my closet, not worn yet since I purchased them, and then some recent ones from online shopping. I kind of like online shopping now that I mostly spend my time at home because it really saves me the hassle and carrying the heavy loads of stuff back home in paper bags and plastic bags. I like receiving mail! *gRin* I got myself a pair of new shoes at 50% too. I like!
Hubby? The only CNY shopping he did was to get himself a pair of white sneakers since his old one is like some washed out white turned light brown shoe now.. He deserved the new shoes anyway. It will last him for about another 5 years maybe? LOL
Chinese New Year here in KL is really not happening at all, compared to all the hoo haas of my side of relatives smiling, greeting, gossiping, eating together. Here, its somehow just doesn't have the touch. it is so quiet, its like almost any other day... *sigh* I really have to make a mental note that I would want to bring Jaden back with me to Penang next year to celebrate Chinese New Year. I am sure he is really big enough to enjoy and meet ALL my relatives.. Eat and Be Merry. Somehow, I think that is the motto of my relatives.
o.Oh I forgot about one place that made me feel like I am back in my hometown and that is in Banting.
You know, this one day, Iz asked me where we would be going for CNY? If we were going back to hometown?
So I replied and say Banting, to see Ah Ma..
Yea, that is one place that makes us feel welcomed anytime.. Jaden loves it there too! I am sure he will look forward to going there every CNY when he grows up until his hormones shoot up and starts to be interested in the female species.
I am also looking forward to this one planned girly holiday getaway with two of my girlfriends. Since one backed out on us, its gonna be just us, the wives going. Woo hoo~ I really got to start my research on where to go eat, drink and shop for stuff. The beach, sun and seafood is good enough to satisfy my need of a breakaway... for now. *gRin* at least for 2010 I think since I can foresee quite a lot of spending to be done this year.
Hubby has taught Jaden to say a new word.. but that too, sometimes had to forced out when the little one only wants something. The word is.. P L E A S E .... yes, finally my boy can say please.. Yay!

Me? I have clothes that sits hanging in my closet, not worn yet since I purchased them, and then some recent ones from online shopping. I kind of like online shopping now that I mostly spend my time at home because it really saves me the hassle and carrying the heavy loads of stuff back home in paper bags and plastic bags. I like receiving mail! *gRin* I got myself a pair of new shoes at 50% too. I like!
Hubby? The only CNY shopping he did was to get himself a pair of white sneakers since his old one is like some washed out white turned light brown shoe now.. He deserved the new shoes anyway. It will last him for about another 5 years maybe? LOL
Chinese New Year here in KL is really not happening at all, compared to all the hoo haas of my side of relatives smiling, greeting, gossiping, eating together. Here, its somehow just doesn't have the touch. it is so quiet, its like almost any other day... *sigh* I really have to make a mental note that I would want to bring Jaden back with me to Penang next year to celebrate Chinese New Year. I am sure he is really big enough to enjoy and meet ALL my relatives.. Eat and Be Merry. Somehow, I think that is the motto of my relatives.
o.Oh I forgot about one place that made me feel like I am back in my hometown and that is in Banting.
You know, this one day, Iz asked me where we would be going for CNY? If we were going back to hometown?
So I replied and say Banting, to see Ah Ma..
Yea, that is one place that makes us feel welcomed anytime.. Jaden loves it there too! I am sure he will look forward to going there every CNY when he grows up until his hormones shoot up and starts to be interested in the female species.
I am also looking forward to this one planned girly holiday getaway with two of my girlfriends. Since one backed out on us, its gonna be just us, the wives going. Woo hoo~ I really got to start my research on where to go eat, drink and shop for stuff. The beach, sun and seafood is good enough to satisfy my need of a breakaway... for now. *gRin* at least for 2010 I think since I can foresee quite a lot of spending to be done this year.
Hubby has taught Jaden to say a new word.. but that too, sometimes had to forced out when the little one only wants something. The word is.. P L E A S E .... yes, finally my boy can say please.. Yay!
