You grow up so fast Jaden.. Mommy is proud of you!

Week 2 Winner for GoMobile 2008 contest
The team found a winner for week 2 it seems and the lucky girl got to snag a free mobile phone.
Told you it was easy as ABC.
Had been spreading words and promo intro to this contest to all my friends and blog readers about how easy this contest can be but none seems to want to win a free phone.
It seemed that everybody is too rich to want free stuff.
Another friend of mine even said "There is nothing for free.. there is always a catch!"
"Yes, I replied.. of course it wont come to you freely if you dont write something about it."
All you need to do is help spread the word around your community of family and friends in the most creative manner and you stand a BIG chance to win a phone.
Only one girl at the moment was briefly told about the contest by her ex-college friend and she set out to do it.
A little picture with her smiling, captioning that She is Scooting Away to GoMobile and that won her a phone for week 2.
How easy could it get?
But well, everybody is too rich to be bothered with such an easy contest.. *sigh*
Anyway, if you are still interested in the contest, it is still running.. it will end on Nov 20 tho.. so hurry.. only 21 days left!
*click here for more details*
Before that, you can also log into GoMobile's facebook group and join them there. Come on, even if you don't want to join the contest, I am sure as friends, you guys can help support by joining the group rite?
*thanks* Cynthia for the support!

A visit from my aunty
and its the real aunty k? Not the one that comes knocking every month.
Mother's youngest sister is down in KL today, following my uncle who came for a business meeting. So instead of getting bored out of her wits at the meeting that discussed nothing but tyres and how to to make car maintenance a better experience, she decided she will come stayover and cook my whole family Hokkien Mee.
Finally PENANG HOKKIEN MEE also known as KL's Prawn Mee. Don't understand why they call it prawn mee here. Hokkien mee fits the name just fine. Well, I grew up knowing those names and discovering a whole new array of food names for the same dishes in Penang was really disturbing to me at first but now after 8 years of living in KL, guess I learnt to accept them for the kookiness.
Jaden would be meeting his Ee Poh for his very first time. Wonder if he would be confused with the lookalike similarities my aunty has with my mother. Hmm.. afterall Jaden got confused at first with his botak grandpa Yap and his own father. =)
Speaking of food, here I go missing my Penang food again. I can't wait for Jan to arrive so I can go back home, bringing Jaden back to my hometown for the very first time. I really hope I can get to eat Lor Mee, Hokkien Mee, Curry Mee, Assam Laksa, Ice Kacang @ Swatow Lane, Lrg Selamat Char Koay Teow, Duck Koay Teow near Penang Road there... Or Chien, Koay Kak and Chee Cheong Fun at the lane at Sunway hotel there. Shit! I even forgot the name already. HOW COULD I? I feel like a outsider to my own island I grew up on. Aarrrgghhhh!! Disappointing dissapointing!
**updated**
Yes! She is here and the whole house smells so GOOOOOOOODDDD ALAS I can't get to eat the prawn noodle! Coz I am still breastfeeding!! AARRGGGHHHH!! Sacrifices I make.. *sigh* Nevermind.. soon soon..at least I can get to smell some of my 'missed' food!!!

Plan to get a new phone soon? Plan to see the latest one by your favourite mobile phone brand? Then GoMobile 2008 is where you should be!
It is projected as the ultimate mobile lifestyle event of the year, GoMobile is bringing together mobile brands, telcos, service providers, content creators and just about anybody else in the mobile industry in Malaysia and some significant numbers from elsewhere for this massive consumer show.
I can’t wait for the day to arrive because I want to be one of the firsts to hit that place and see whats in store for me. I have got gifts waiting for me already even before the event starts and all I had to do to get that gift is to sign up the GoMobile 2008 Clique Card.

Well, fine! I am not going to keep the goody to myself. I am going to share and spread the love by letting you into getting the goodies for yourself too.

eM blabbering again...
I have weird dreams lately. Funny.. how it always relates back to waking me up just in time to feel Jaden struggle for feed.
Life definitely has changed. I start looking out for more of Jaden's stuff than mine.
Worrying about Hubby not being able to cope with Jaden when both of them are left alone for more than 2 hours.
Sometimes I wonder was my *pat toh-in* sessions with my boyfriend cum Hubby too short-lived?
Well, one thing for sure that cleared all doubts that I had when I was still a young little girl is that I AM DEFINITELY MARRIED. I worry most of the time lsat time that I might not be able to find someone to love me enough to want to marry me.
I had always wondered who my children might look like? Hubby or I? Well.. guess now I know the answer. =)
I am still into concerts, raves, parties, clubbing and drinking but these all just don't seem to fit into my schedule no more. Not even like once in 3 months. WHYYYYY?
I love to travel. Have been going places at least once a year be it local or overseas but ...
Can you imagine me to be just weighing about 42-43kg back in year 2000-2003? I was even skinnier before 2000. Now? Guess I am at a healthy weight of 45-46kg. Can't believed that I actually went up to 61kg at the peak of my pregnancy.
My son is right now scolding my mother for keeping his toys. You heard me right.. he was only a tiny helpless little newborn a year ago and today, he is standing up, scolding his grandmother at the top of his voice. *hold on.. gonna smack him for awhile for being a rude boy!*
I love my Penang college moments just as much as I did during while doing my time in Limkokwing. There was hardly any worries. It was all fun, research, fun, assignments, fun, some misunderstandings here and there, fun and more fun. My friends were great!
I have been living on my own since F4 and that was when all my nonsense started. Boyfriend hunting.. ahhahaha** I would not have believe the elders when they say that it was all puppy love. Now I do. Well, look on the bright side, I get a good laugh out of those times.
After 24 years of living, I'd only got to find out of my real background. After 24 years of knowing nothing of such sort, not even suspecting a tiny little bit. It doesn't matter anyway but the thought of the secret lived amongst my relatives and family.
I missed going to the beach with Joy. I missed going to the island with my 4 girls and a guy. I missed going on a 10 day trip with the wackiest camerawhores. I missed going to Haadyai with my mom only for shopping. I missed the sunrise watching madness with Joy. We woke up at 6am for it.. *unbelievable!!* I missed hanging out at the beach, listening to the waves, feel the breeze, go waterjetskiing..
Learned ballet since I was 4/5 years old. Because of some stupid excuse to want to spend more time with boyfriend, I quit at 16. This I will regret my whole life because now, I would have chosen dancing over the boyfriend. I missed my ballet friends too. We were a good bunch of friends. We grew up together real fine.
For now, I guess I have something to look forward to.
Jaden growing up, how my marriage will turn for the better *crosses fingers real hard because I want to grow old with Hubby*
No complains.. just maybe sometimes I like some 'me' time...

TODAY
I cleared the rubbish in my car.
I took little monster for a good bath and vacuum session.
I threw away Pepper and Panda and a horsey because they were infested with cockroaches and their eggs.
I tied my hair in a bun for the first time since I last had my hair re-bonded.
I had a swollen bottom lip that Hubby could see from miles away.
I cleverly dabbed some salt on my swollen lip
and it sure hurt like mad!!!

Jaden's near 13-months milestones
Ok... Is it just me or is everybody else using blogspot is going through what i am going through? There are no more fonts and its sizes for me to choose or colours when we log on to the create post page? Hmm.. Tell me that its the blogspot problem!
Anyways, before I forget, I wanted to post a few updates on Jaden.
Now that he is coming to 13 months old soon, he has learn how to let go of his hands and stand for a good few 2-3 seconds before falling down again. He seemed so much more confident now and less scared compared to the previous month.
He loves to jump and he is a TV ADDICT! Funny how he prefers Chinese shows to English shows.. the chinese blood in him perhaps? subconsiously?
He now knows his MAM MAM and TA TA (beat beat) and CHIAK! He knows how to chiak (peek-a-boo)!
He has separation anxiety now. He needs either his daddy or mommy but of course, he would prefer my presemce when night falls. *sigh* I feel so loved!!!!!
Jaden babbles a lot now. It is as if he has lots to say to us, telling us about his day and all but we just can't quite catch it yet. *tee hee* maybe in a year's time?
Another pearly white is starting to show at the gum. Not sure which side but am sure its from the upper gum. Oh no! 4 teeth is already paindful when it come to his bite, now another one to add on? *shudders* You want to have a go?
Thats pretty it, what I can remember so far.. so till more updates.. this is it!

My babies, my pets!
Fatso died last week. He just got attacked by some fungi disease overnight and he died the night itself. The night before he was still fine but when I woke up in the morning, he seemed to be losing scales and his whatever blubber that grew on him.
Fatso is the biggest among all the four goldfishes that I owned.
Now, its only So Fat left. So Fat can't even come up to the surface to eat. It can only swim round and round the tank on its side. He used to swim only upside down but now, he swims on the side only. Poor little fella!
These goldfishes had been with me since New Year 2006... somehow I think I grew rather attached to them, watching them swim whenever I sit in the living room. They make me laugh with their antics at time. You must think I am crazy to laugh at goldfishes. Well, lets just say they can be quite funny at times. So blur looking..
Cheekie and Cheeko have reached their two years of age. I wonder how many is that in human years? They are still like babies to Hubby and I. Each has a different personality and temperament and they each also have their individual owner preference.
Cheekie, the girl, prefers Hubby over me. She would lick him and well, she just prefers him over me. Ever since they were babies, she would rather stick to Hubby than me. Hubby calls her his darling girl.
Then, there is the boy Cheeko who prefers me to Hubby. Cheeko would play with me and runaround my feet but when it is just Hubby and him, he would just sit under the dinner table and not do anything other than breathe through his big big nose on his round round snout.
How I got into rabbits were all because of Gwen. How Hubby got into rabbits, well, I guess it was due to his Anak and Ah Bit. Mine started with Moo Moo who Hubby claims is gay but I bet to differ. Moo was one of the best behaved smart rabbit I'd ever came across. He knows how to enjoy the Penang Hill view without trying to jump over the balcony. He who knows how to just sit there and relax. He who comes and sits and put his head on my pillow when he knows I will be heading back to Kl the next day. He eats chocolates, ice-creams and all sorts but hates durian. *sigh* I missed Moo. He is in rabbit heaven now.
For now, my concentration is all focus on Cheekie, Cheeko and So Fat only. Don't think I would have any more pets after them. Enough. Don't want anymore emotional baggage. Easy to come, hard to let go when time comes.. but well, why should I think of such things now. My little babies are still young! =)
Jason Mraz - I'm Yours lyrics | LyricsMode.com
Well you done done me and you bet I felt it
I tried to be chill but you're so hot that I melted
I fell right through the cracks
Now I'm trying to get back
Before the cool done run out
I'll be giving it my bestest
And nothing's gonna to stop me but divine intervention
I reckon it's again my turn to win some or learn some
But I won't hesitate no more, no more
It cannot wait, I'm yours
Well open up your mind and see like me
Open up your plans and damn you're free
Look into your heart and you'll find love love love love
Listen to the music of the moment, maybe sing with me
All - ah peaceful melody
And it's our God-forsaken right to be loved love loved love loved
So I won't hesitate no more, no more
It cannot wait I'm sure
There's no need to complicate
Our time is short
This is our fate, I'm yours
Scooch on closer dear
And I will nibble your ear
I've been spending way too long checking my tongue in the mirror
And bending over backwards just to try to see it clearer
But my breath fogged up the glass
And so I drew a new face and laughed
I guess what I'm be saying is there ain't no better reason
To rid yourself of vanity and just go with the seasons
It's what we aim to do
Our name is our virtue
I won't hesitate no more, no more
It cannot wait I'm sure
There's no need to complicate
Our time is short
This is our fate, I'm yours
Well no no, well open up your mind and see like me
Open up your plans and damn you're free
Look into your heart and you'll find that the sky is yours
Please don't, please don't, please don't
There's no need to complicate
Cause our time is short
This is out fate, I'm yours
Well you done done me and you bet I felt it
I tried to be chill but you're so hot that I melted
I fell right through the cracks
Now I'm trying to get back
Before the cool done run out
I'll be giving it my bestest
And nothing's gonna to stop me but divine intervention
I reckon it's again my turn to win some or learn some
But I won't hesitate no more, no more
It cannot wait, I'm yours
Well open up your mind and see like me
Open up your plans and damn you're free
Look into your heart and you'll find love love love love
Listen to the music of the moment, maybe sing with me
All - ah peaceful melody
And it's our God-forsaken right to be loved love loved love loved
So I won't hesitate no more, no more
It cannot wait I'm sure

Those were the days...
Once upon a time, there was a tavernYear 2004
Where we used to raise a glass or two
Remember how we laughed away the hours,
Think of all the great things we would do
Those were the days, my friend
We thought they'd never end
We'd sing and dance forever and a day
We'd live the life we'd choose
We'd fight and never lose
For we were young and sure to have our way
Year 2006
Then, the busy years went rushing by us
We lost our starry notions on the way
If, by chance, I'd see you in the tavern,
We'd smile at one another and we'd say
Year 2007
Just tonight, I stood before the tavern
Nothing seemed the way it used to be
In the glass, I saw a strange reflection
Was that lonely woman really me?
Year 2008
Through the door, there came familiar laughter
I saw your face and heard you call my name
Oh, my friend, we're older but no wiser
For in our hearts, the dreams are still the same
I miss all of you and the times we had together...

She went home..
not for long but only the weekend...
Mom took the morning bus back to Penang today. She sure looks happy to leave for home after like two months stuck in KL with me.
Dad just called to say she arrived and well, I guess both of them are off to eat all the Penang food she missed. I also want!!! I am missing my Lorong Selamat Char Koay Teow, my Ayer Itam Laksa, curry mee ala Penang style and lots more. Ask me now and I can't name them but when I see them, I want to eat them. Pulau Tikus Hokkien Mee, Jones Road Lor mee that KL doesnt have.. *sigh* Will only be heading back in Jan for Edwin's wedding.. so many more months of waiting still for me...
Its feeling kind of weird not having my mom around at the moment. Maybe its just because of the two months sticking with her 24/7. Now that shes back in Penang for the weekend, guess I am going to make full use of the me and you time with Hubby to ask him to cook his spagghetti for me. I missed his cooking. He has not cooked for quite some time now.. I want his carbonara dish, the butter chicken dish that I missed..
Nyways.. guess he won't be cooking. Hes just recovering from his flu and we no want flubug in our food do we? =)
Will settle for outside dinner now.. =(

Blonde moments of mine
While Hubby and I were doing grocery shopping at Tesco one day, during one of the Raya break or the day before, I had a racist blonde moment. One of the rarest racist blonde moment of mine but nevertheless, I still feel kinda bad and stupid after saying it.
I wanted to get some chicken meat to cook at home and when I got to the chicken meat section, there was none left for me to buy. Only chicken feet.
So I got back to Hubby and told him, that there is no more chicken. Why not go get pork instead. Afterall I don't think pork will be soldout during Raya rite?
Get it?
Oh my.. one of those stupid blonde moments of mine...

A painful affair or a love affair?
Breastfeeding is a bonding activity that only mother and child gets to feel. No fathers would understand that special kind of bond. That was what I thought initially until when your nipple feels as if it cracked due to an hour long of suckling, which the child only wants to suckle on for comfort and not for milk.
This is what that is happening with Jaden lately. He will only suckle on for comfort till he falls asleep but he refuses to let me go. Once I pull myself away from him thinking he is fast asleep, he wakes up, sits up and starts crying! and when he cries, he cries non stop till there is a toy to distract him and by that time, hes already wide awake and wants to play for another hour or so before he feels sleepy again. How la like that to keep sane without the beauty sleep that I require? *Grin* (not to say i pretty until need to maintain.. boleh tengok dah boleh! ahahahhha)
What I do now is I feed him an hour before bed time or half hour before his bed time with the rice cereals and formula milk. Make sure he is at least half full or 3/4 full.. then before he sleeps, he will suckle on for awhile until he feels that he has enough (which is usually less than 20 minutes) and he will sleep till like 6 or 7 in the morning. YAY! Mission accomplish. Boleh tidur lebih now compared to waking up every hour to feed him, hear him struggle and cry a while before he sleeps back... Hopefully he will continue to do so and better still, sleep till 8 or 9 in the morning. Can't wait for him to sleep straight for 7 or 8 hours now.
So is breastfeeding a painful activity? I will say, well.. it all comes down to the baby. Whether if he/she decides to bite your nipple just to see your reaction and sadistically laughed when you cringed and cry out in pain or whether he/she just wants to suckle on for comfort (read :- 1 hour or longer) and refuse to let you go, then its a painful affair. Other than that, I have no complains. I love the bond shared between us Mother and Son.

I tried
... and I failed miserably again.
I decided that I would cook dinner last night for Hubby. After all those times that he has said I had not make any effort in trying to cook.
I had lemon chicken in mind, steamed kailan and well, the normal tofu that Hubby usually cooks.
I marinated the slices of chicken fillets in orange, sprinkled in a little salt and into the fridge they went for an hour or two. Vege was cleaned and garlic was diced. I was ready to start cooking. First, I 'powdered' the chicken with corn flour and pan-fried them till golden brown. Then I poured in the Lee Kum Kee Lemon Chicken sauce and simmer it for a while before throwing in the friend chicken fillets to infused in the lemon sauce.
Then comes the steamed vege wtih garlic.Normal procedure, put in the garlic, then the vege with a lil of warm water.. some soya sauce for taste. Oyster sauce is out of the picture because supposedly I can't consume them due to breastfeeding.
Last but not least, Hubby's infamous tofu dish which is practically just the tofu marinated with the caramel thick sauce, soya sauce and fried garlic garnished on top. Smartie pants me got the whole cooking process all wrong. I actually poured in the caramel thick sauce and soya sauce after the garlic looks kinda fried in the pan.
We ended up eating what Hubby called "garlic candy" because they stuck together after the caramel sauce was mixed together with the oil and all. Terror kan? It really looked like those candy on the stick. Just that it was all hard over the tofu.
Miracalously Hubby and my mother survived my cooking. I did not. I ended up with a bad tummy ache soon after and a splitting headache.
So, does anyone still wants me to cook them dinner?
Guess not.. good..

idiot box are for people like me
I have been quite a couch potato these past few days or maybe weeks since I last discovered that during weekdays, there are interesting shows showed on Astro channels. My favourite tune in channels are 701 -AXN, 711 -Starworld, 712 -E! and lately 303 -KBS World @ 1115pm onwards. OMG! What have I become?
I am hooked on to this Korean drama that runs from Mon - Thurs 1115pm. Its called Eighteen and In Love. Everybody that sees the name of the movie would already know what the whole storyline would be yet it entices me to want to watch on. Just because I think the leading actor is kind of cute. Not good looking but just cute to look at. *sigh* Sometimes I think there is still a little girl in me.
Then there is the Tuesday madness about Ugly Betty and Lipstick Jungle. I don't think I'd ever missed any episodes of Lj since it aired.
Comes Wednesday, there is CSI Miami, The moment of Truth... Thursday? Hmm.. Don't even mention it because I will be there out in front of the TV ready to root for our polite Malaysian teams in The Amazing Race Asia III. Don't you think the Malaysian teams seem to be the most polite ones compared to other countries? Well.. I also have to give the credit to Singapore and Hong Kong but Thailand, Phillipines and India? They can be really rude beyond repair.. especially that Geoff. The rudest contestant I'd ever seen among the 3 races.
Fri-Sun is either days of rest or watching re-runs that I'd missed during the weekdays due to un-forseen circumstances..
Still I can't believe it that my life has been tied down to TV programs now because I no longer have any social life. Zilch! None of my friends ask me out anymore because I am no longer free to go out whenever wherever I like. I have got a little demanding baby boy to think about and his needs to see to.
It was just urm.. 3 years back when I was still out clubbing, partying with friends Wed-Sat.. then come meet the BOYFRIEND WHO TURNED HUSBAND when my life was drastically changed into being the tamed Emily. Well.. its a good change compared to booze and late nights but I would have like a night out dancing sometimes... =)
Maybe.. maybe when Jaden is old enough to be put to bed by Hubby and some of my party kaki girlfriends are STILL NOT MARRIED.. maybe I will get an invitation by them to join. MAYBE... but for now, I am satisfied with the idiot box.

Weaning off breastmilk is such a chore when ...
Jaden refuses to take in any liquid form of milk from bottles or sipping cup. At the moment, the only form of formula milk he takes in is when I mixed it with his rice cereals. What I am trying to do here is to try to wean him off the breast. Especially the night feed. Jaden hardly asks for the day feed now unless I put him in the room to have his afternoon nap. These days, I put him out in the living room, on the bouncer so he can just sleep it off.
BUT its a different story at night. This little boy has incorporated in breastfeeding in his bedtime routine and would only fall asleep if he has the breast in his mouth. Should I just try to sneak the bottle teat into his mouth when he attempts to night breastfeed the next time but I read somewhere that it is not safe to have the bottle in the baby's mouth when he is sleeping. It causes tooth decay..
How ? How to wean Jaden off breastmilk? How to introduce him the idea of drinking from a bottle or milk from a sipping cup? How to tell him he is now a big boy and no longer needs mummy's breast to latch on for feed? Would he be traumatized if we stop this routine of ours? Will we lose the bond we share? Or will he just miracalously wean himself off the breast? Should I just feed him full before his bedtime so he won't ask for milk then?
Maybe I will just start off with that...
Please please let this weaning process be easy on both of us...
For mothers who plan to breastfeed their babies, well.. its a good thing! BUT remember to give your breastmilk through bottles because it will make whatever decision that you make later in his life easier. If I were to have another child again, I will make darn sure that I feed him / her through bottles instead...

Better a lil and on the way to pile some weight
Jaden's stuff nose seems to be a little better. There are still a little hard breathing on and off when he sleeps but at least its better than the first few days I was blogging about it.
Dr. Altaf has recommended us to get Jaden multivitamins and Pediasure to supplement the needs for nutrients and calories that Jaden needs.
So off we went to buy Pediasure and I was really crossing my fingers hard that Jaden would take to the formula milk like fish to water. Taking out the milk bottle and new teats that were never used since his birth last year, I scrubbed, washed and sterilized it. Finally, my baby boy is going to take formula milk!!! Sadly, that did not happen.He rejected it real bad. Milk bottle to Jaden is like some foreign object and I guessed he forgot that he once fed through them.
So now the only choice to feed him the formula milk is by mixing it with his morning rice cereals and tea time rice cereals. Twice a day is equivalent I should think. The boy is still on breastmilk solely but that only happens when he is going to sleep at night, in the middle of the night and once early in the morning. I sure hope my supply is still enough for the little boy's intake!
Everyday since I got the multivitamins, I have been feeding him before his breakfast. On some days, he seems to love it, some days, its like having the war of the clones with him just to have that 1 1/2 teaspoon down his throat. *sigh*
He nows know how to call Papa, Mam mam mam and sometimes - rarely but there are still a time or two one would hear Ma Ma from his mouth. Teaching him how to say Pa pa ya now since he loves eating them. I am trying to teach him how to say BALL. Teaching him at his own pace of comfort in absorbing these words. He understands the word NO when said in a really really angry voice. Only when you raise his voice at him but that only will take place through Hubby or I. No one else is allowed to raise their voice at him... He knows how to say Ta ta ta too to want to beat something! That's Hubby's contribution! Trust the man to teach the boy BOY STUFF!
Hopefully by the end of this month, we would be able to see the results of Pediasure working on him. Just to pile on some weight thats all.. not asking him to be obese..
We won't want that would we? I wouldn't be able to carry him then..

True friends are hard to find
How many friends do you have that you can actually call them true friends? How many do you have? How many times has it that you know that they will ALWAYS be there for you no matter what? Sometimes words itself is not enough. Action means a lot when in times you really count on them and they dutifully do their rights as your true friend. I have only quite a few that I can count as true friends from my hometown and college. Of course, the main two in my life since childhood is Gwen and SChee. No matter what situation I am in, whether I am in the wrong or right, down or up, they will ALWAYS ALWAYS be there for me WITHOUT FAIL. I owe quite a lot to them in terms of gratitude. I love them both so much. They have always been there for me, guiding me since we were in school. Those sleepovers we have, girl guides activities that brought us closer, movies together, shopping and our eating sessions. Those gossip moments about SAI CHI TEY (a piece of shit) or SAI CHAP TEY (ten pieces of shit) [internal joke shared by three of us]. Its as if we know each other in and out and we seem to understand each other without saying much. Despite three of us living far apart from each other, we will still manage to find time to say hello, update ourselves and care for each other. I can't imagine life without these both angels of mine. That is why no matter what, BOTH OF THEM are to be ALL MY CHILDREN's Godmother!
Then there is these TWO girls that I grew really really close to in college. They both have seen the worst in me and was there through out. They were there for me when I really need them, they made darn sure that no matter how busy they were, whatever plans they had in the first place, they will cancel it out to be with me on my special days. I guess most would have guessed the first girl by now. JOY. Second one, SHARON. Why Sharon? Although she can be rather annoyingly slow when you eat together with her, LOUD like nobody's business when we are talking, DRESSING skills overpowering us (read a lil lian lian) but SHE WILL MAKE IT TO BE THERE NO MATTER WHAT IF I DO NEED HER. I remember Joy telling me about how Sharon insisted on making it to my wedding even though the night before was her cafe's annual celebration and she has to host it till early in the morning and SHE DROVE DOWN TO KL right after the cafe closed for the night... to make it to be with me on my special day. Alas knowing her, tiredness took over and she ter-over slept through the morning session. But knowing what she did just celebrate the day with me is enough for me to know where our friendship stands. These two girls in my life means a lot to me. My aunties for life. And if God allow, the next child of mine, i am going to make these both the Godmother too.
Then there are friends who are really good friends that you can talk to and you know that they are real. Corrine is one of them. How we got to know each other is a funny story. Our first movie together and from there on, we became close. I love being friends with Corrine. She is really comfortable to be with and there is no air of pretense. Even though we hardly meet now, but I still feel her close to my heart.
I have a lot of friends but not all can fit into the category above. Don't be mistaken, I love all my friends but those above hold a very much SPECIAL place in my heart because I know you guys will always be there for me. ALWAYS! You guys would never ditch me in times that I do need you by my side.. I will always remember the day you shared with me on my ONE SPECIAL DAY for that day is only ONCE a LIFETIME and you had etched your name in it! I love you girls!
p/s: Jojie and Xiu Yi, you are special too to me.. love love you both too!!!
Sharon who made it a point to come by to visit, fitting me into her busy schedule even though she is quite rushed for time... how can I not treasure her?

We took Jaden to Afiq house for Raya house visiting and also to mam his mother's rendang. Hubby had been telling me about how delicious Afiq's mom's rendang was and how he has been going on and on and finally I got to try it first hand.
Guess what Jaden was doing while his parents were playing glutton to the Rendang and curry chicken?
Meet Keli everyone!
This is the friendly Cemet
The curious and playful Comot
o.Oh and Jaden even got his first Raya green packet from Afiq's dad. How's that for his Firsts of his first experience?
Kitties and Green packet and a walk around the neighborhood... =)
He sure is one happy baby and the parents, one happy fully fed with delicious rendang people!!

Crankiness knows no boundaries
Jaden is very very cranky these few days. Since Saturday if I am not mistaken. Right after his birthday, he is acting up even worse. It might be due to his lateral insicor cutting out now since he is keen on biting, his cheeks flushed and the nose. THE NOSE.. *sigh* I really pray he didn't get the side of my genes for sinuses. Anyway now with his stuff nose and all, it is emitting bad odor. PLEASE LET IT BE TEMPORARY the stuff nose. Don't want him to feel so uncomfortable... If it is still not well by the weekend, I am going to take him to his paedaetrician again. Can't go on seeing him breathing so difficult.
Last night when we reached home at about 930pm, he was on / off crying, whining and more crying. He only fell asleep at about 130am. Woke up at 330am for feed, then 5am for feed, 6am for feed, then 7am then 9am woke up crying. I thought he still wants to be fed so I put my breast to his mouth only to have my nipple bitten so hard. He was like an alligator clamping down on it, not letting go till I shouted out loud in pain and pinch his nose shut for a while. That was what all the baby articles recommend to make the babies let go of their killing bite. Hubby was of course feeling irritated because we both woke him up from his holiday sleep. If only he knows the feeling of a nipple being clamped down hard and more nibbles while the nipple is still inside the mouth. (It is still in tact if you are wondering if it broke off.. hard chance! ahhaha)
That being said, he was just crying for no apparentt reason again during the 9am wake. The little boy then moved over to my side and fell asleep beside me. Covered him with my comforter and I slowly manouver my way to sleep back. He finally woke up at 12pm CRYING again. Lately, he has not been waking up smiling which he USUALLY does. Now its CRYING EVERYDAY EVERY HOUR EVERY SECOND... poor thing! The teeth must be really giving him lots of uncomfortablity.
Enough is enough. Carried him out of the room at about 1215pm and let his daily routine start. Fed him his Kiddi Pharmaton and breakfast cereals. Made him down lots of water and now, he is babbling and going to whine in his cot again for attention.
When? When is this HORRIBLE ORDEAL going to be over for all of us? WHEN?????
Last night when we reached home at about 930pm, he was on / off crying, whining and more crying. He only fell asleep at about 130am. Woke up at 330am for feed, then 5am for feed, 6am for feed, then 7am then 9am woke up crying. I thought he still wants to be fed so I put my breast to his mouth only to have my nipple bitten so hard. He was like an alligator clamping down on it, not letting go till I shouted out loud in pain and pinch his nose shut for a while. That was what all the baby articles recommend to make the babies let go of their killing bite. Hubby was of course feeling irritated because we both woke him up from his holiday sleep. If only he knows the feeling of a nipple being clamped down hard and more nibbles while the nipple is still inside the mouth. (It is still in tact if you are wondering if it broke off.. hard chance! ahhaha)
