Bookshop Heaven!

There is this one superb place in Amcorp that I must really give thumbs up to. The BookXcess place. It is such a wonderland that I get all giddy and happy when I step into that particular shop. There are so many books there, that are going as cheap as RM5-RM19.90. Mind you, these are not second hand books. These are brand new books but I just don't understand why it is being sold at such cheap rates. My only thoughts are that this shop is like F.O.S or D.F.O but what the heck, when one offers you such good pricing for nice, juicy books, just take it!

I stepped into this wonderland today and got out with 4 children books and 4 books for myself. I even got a discount just because I have a membership card to that place. Oh bliss!

I am sure mothers out there would totally love this place because there are just so many children books to choose from and they are all so goooooooooooooooooood! If Hubby did not stop me, I would have prolly ended up buying Jaden more books than for myself. *sigh* oh Shu Yin! You will totally fall in love with all the books there! *wink*

"When you sell a man a book,

you don't sell him 12 ounces of

paper and ink and glue-

you sell him a whole new life."

-Christopher Morley





Got two Tony Parson's books, Fractured by Ruth Dee and How to Potty Train your Kid (Rm9.90) for myself. Yay! New books to read! and my DVDs too.. finally, I have got my hands on New Moon and I can't wait to pop in the DVD!


Has anyone watched 7 pounds by Will Smith yet? I know I am a little late in all the movies but this is one movie not to be missed! It is such a tear jerker. Maybe not all that crying drama mama like PS I Love You or The Notebook but that is one good movie. A sure recommend!

I can foresee a long week of good books and good movie indulgence for myself! *mmm* I am so loving the moment! =)

J card sales days are EVIL!



Finally, after a few times of missing out on the J card sale and asking friends around if they own one so I can go and buy those disposable diapers for a much much more cheaper price, I applied for the J card last Sunday.



My, oh my, my timing could not have been any better. I did not even realized it when I applied for the card last Sunday after Jaden's class for March 10 and 11 was J Card Sales day and the whole of 1 U were having this J card sales.. so evil!

I brought Jaden there on Wednesday, forgetting it was J Card day, wondering why some cars were parked by the side of the road.. and then only half way up to the parking lot, I realized that it was J card sales day.

The main reason I brought Jaden to One U was to let him run and play in Kizsports, but the urge to go shopping for his baby stuff was far much more greater. So after letting him loose in Kizsports for about an hour, I scooped him to Jusco and went and survey the things on sale.




Could not resist getting Jaden a few more VCDs at 10% and 20% off.. and the baby wipes. Pureen 100 baby wipes x2 were going as cheap as RM9.90. I bought 3 packs because I still have 1 more pack at home. Mamypoko were also calling out to me but alas, I ran out of cash to want to buy it.. and that too, I was thinking I have 6 large packs sitting at home with me at the moment. I was reasoning hard with my consience whether if I really need to purchase more but well, guess it was no harm asking Hubby if we could go get more since Jaden do really need them.


Well, the result? We went back the next day in the evening and bought 4 more packets of the 40 pieces of XXL MamyPoko. So now, I have 10 packets of MamyPoko sitting in the room. Woo hoo!

J card sales days are EVIL!

p/s: Can you guess which one is my card design?

Wisdom tooth extracted.. ouch!

My this one tooth has been giving me problems of late. This is the second time in a span of two months and I thought enough is enough. Maybe its really time I have to part with it and so I went to Hubby's dentist, which I kind of find more comfortable to be around with and seek her professional advice.

True enough, that one tooth, which we all call the wisdom tooth, had grew out of my gums in the most unusual manner, which is like above the gum, above the other teeth and is faced in a 90 degree manner, thus my cheeks will always have to keep rubbing against it whenever I chew and in such angle, makes it quite hard for me to brush it clean properly.

So we set up the appointment on the same day Hubby has to return to do his teeth. I was already shaking then at the very thought ot it. What have I got myself into?

The dentist was really good and gentle though. It didn't really even hurt when she injected the numbing anesthetic into my gums. The only downside was that that med was really bitter. *bLeh*

Soon, she was like taking all these hardcore looking tools and was telling me to relax, don't fight it and I was like 'What the...??? After seeing all those tools, you ask me to relax? I could have just peed in my pants by looking at it!"

So the next best thing I know would make me relax is to close my eyes and pretend I didn't see those tools. All I hear is some clink clanks in my mouth, some tugging for a while and "phew* a feeling of something came loose and through and that stubborn tooth was out of my mouth.

It is really a big teeth, according to the dentist. Unusually big for a wisdom tooth but its still healthy, no cavity or what sorts. *yay!* Being a 38 person, I requeste to keep that one tooth of mine and was so engrossed with it. Hubby was really eeked out!

The anesthetic got to numb the left side of my nose for a while, and after a while when the pain was wearing off, I thought I'd be tough and just go nap it off. I woke up feeling like someone was punching me in and out really hard inside the mouth. Quickly fix myself something to eat and then pop the 650mg of painkiller. It worked.

Today, its better although I am still going to becareful with it because I am not sure if the wound healed completely just yet. Best to becareful then to let it bleed again...

So till then, let me leave you with two pictures of my extracted wisdom tooth.

Not so wise anymore, eh?


...2cm in length...


...0.8cm in diameter...

Guess who?

Just like any other normal days, I would park my ass in front of the TV at prime time and watch my shows on channel 711 / 303 or 701.. and suddenly one advertisement caught my eye and changed my mood so bad I could not hold it in any longer.

I thought I would burst if I didn't do anything about it or at least try to do something about it and voila! Hubby answered my prayers and in exchange all I need to do is just adhere to his terms and conditions which I don't mind at all. Seriously!


What advertisement that canggih that made my mood went up and down at the same time, nearly causing me to burst into tears?




I know, I have been declaring myself a SS501 fan. I still am but the fact that they chose to overlook Malaysia as one of their concert destinations and decided to end their Persona Tour in Bangkok.. it broke my heart! So now that Super Junior is coming down to KL for a full blown concert, why not????



Its so hard getting these Koreans to perform in Malaysia and when they do, its best not to miss a chance coz they are good!!!! and yummy! *wink*

I am still very much in love with LeeHom and Wilbur Pan, Ms Ho, just for the records. =)


Yes Yes! I still have that high school girl fan-crazy thing in me... You don't have to tell me that. I may be married with a kid and all but this is one of the many things that defines me so beat it! *gRin*

PRAYING HARD THAT THINGS WILL GO WELL, NO LAST MINUTE CANCELLATION AND THAT I'LL GET TO BUY THAT TICKET!

Grandmothers made my day

(Last night in the lift with neighbor's parents holding on to their granddaughter)

N : (telling her granddaughter -younger than Jaden) See, jie jie so kuai. Stand still and not move around like a monkey like you.

N's Daughter : He is a boy, not a girl.

N : Really? (speaking in hokkien now) Got cha-boh bin lah, so beautiful. Look at the dimples. Always smiling. Boy ah?

At that time, I looked at her and smiled.

N : He is your ...?

eMs : My son. He is my son.

N : Really? but you are so young looking..

(at that time, the lift reached Ground Floor and conversation ended there)

Today in the morning, I bumped into the neighbor again.

N : Are you going to work? (since it was 9am in the morning)

eMs : Not really but I help my husband from time to time.

N : You take care of your son by yourself?

eMs : Yea, my husband and I take care of him by ourselves.

N : oh.. very good. The big size one, that one is your husband right?

eMs : Yea, that one is my husband.

N : I think I saw him a few times before.. how old are both of you?

eMs : My husband is 31, me? I am 27 this year.

N : Really? If you didn't tell me that boy was your son, I would have thought you were his sister. You look like you are only in your late teens.

eMs : No-lah.. 27 already (but at that time, I was just gloating away.. hehehehe)

(Today again, when I came back from running work errands, I bumped into 2 kindy children with their grandmother)

One of the children was playing and ramped into me.

Grandma scolded her and say, "See, I told you not to spin yourself dizzy and now, you have bumped into jie jie already!"

WAHHHHH... those two compliments I received made my day today! *tee hee*

Let me gloat about it for a while can? Its not like everyday I get rare compliments like that.. =)

Yakity Yaks

Jaden turned 2 years and 5 months old last 28th Feb. I have not been updating his milestones like I used to just because there is nothing much that changed so far. Maybe in his habits here and there but as in development milestones, nothing much really. I am getting very worried as this might mean medical intervention but just as long as he grows up to be a healthy boy, I am fine. I know Hubby hopes the same for Jaden too, as long as he stays healthy and happy all the time.

Ok, enough of the part that I do not want to talk about. Its not that I am in denial over some facts but just that I get tired of explaining of something which have not even been diagnosed or may it just be like his Uncle Raymond' stage. He will probably start talking non-stop when he starts talking. =) Yes, and we are fixing an appointment with a specialist to see to it, so don't go telling me what to do. I know whats best for my child and how I want to go about it, its my way.

Other than that, Jaden developed another bad habit that pisses me off. Biting his shirt front all wet. I am just worried that he might catch a cold through that way and also, doing his laundry over and over again, sometimes daily compared to Hubby's or my laundry. Luckily for that many shirts he has.. but still, water don't need money is it?

Jaden jumps whenever he is happy or excited. Its a wonderful feeling to see him happy. He is usually easily pleased (unless he is in some foul mood -not enough sleep or its nearing naptime). He smiles easily and his smiles melt my heart each time. Those two little dimples etched in.. aawwww!

He has no separation anxiety from either Hubby or I, which is a good thing. He is quite independent to say, only that now he has learnt how to recognize places and sometimes he will just refuse to want to go to other people's houses, for example, his grandfather's, Aunt Lin's as he has not been there for about a year now or 6 months. He is most comfortable at home, doing his usual stuff but he, too, knows when he wants to go out for a walk or two. He understands when I asked him to wear his shoes. He will sit down on the floor and wait patiently as I put on his shoes for him. Yes, he has not learn how to put on his own shoes but I don't really mind that. One thing at a time. He will also know that once he comes into the house, he will have to sit down and take off his shoes before he is allowed to roam freely around the house. Malaysians don't wear shoes in the house!

He is starting to get scared of some characters from Sesame Street and other programmes. Things that don't scare him last time, scares him now. Elephants, Big Bird, Astro Supersport advertisement and much more.. sometimes the Honker Dinker Family, sometimes Elmo and some characters. He still likes Cookie Monster and I hope that continues.

Sometimes Jaden likes to retaliate, rebel and challenge me when I tell him No! or Stop It! Of late, he has developed this one bad behavior that I absolutely hates. Pinching! I have blueblacks all over my arms. It looks as if I have been hit by something hard or being abused at home and its all done by the little boy. Whenever I push him away or tell him NO! Stop it! he comes back for more. Its like he does it with vengeance but in truth, sometimes he is just feeling way too much geram-ness and this is one way he is letting it out. The padaetrician did mention actions like these before but well, Jaden is taking this a little too far. The marks are still there visible on my arms and its making me feel really ugly. Not to say I am not already but adding on to it only makes the self-esteem sink even lower. Hubby does reprimand Jaden for treating me this way but well, the boy still does it so the only way to tell him to back off those bruised arms is to let the cane do the talking. I am brutal when it comes to using the cane. I use it without mercy when he misbehaves because I really cannot stand naughty children. I am not embarassed with how Jaden acts but I would very much like him to listen to instructions and not do it when I tell him not to. I have got a friend who held on to him and gave him a piece of her mind and he just grab on to her and started pinching her back in retaliation. You tell me, such act deserves a caning or a whack? *sigh* I do hate myself for yelling at him and all but sometimes being all sugary and nice to him just don't work and well, the cane works! ONLY FOR A SHORT WHILE though... I can feel my blood pressure rising.... AAARRRGGHHHHH *f r u s t r a t i o n

All said, Jaden is not all that bad. When he is sweet, he is really super duper wooper sweet! He is actually a very nice boy, just as long as you know how to go about with him and all.. but sometimes, its me that is not playing nice. *oops!*

Enough of Jaden in this post for a while, so whats happening with Hubby and I? Well, both of us are in pain of some sort.
Hubby had a terrible terrible toothache last night that it drove him nuts. Yes, he was a nut case last night. His fuse blowing at the slightest thing but well, toothache can really drive someone up the wall so its pretty much acceptable. He could not sleep at all the whole of last night and painkillers at home just don't work on him. Its like his body is resisting to let the painkillers do their job. So today,after work, I took him to a dentist and well, lets just say he is sleeping like a baby now. Making up for lost sleep the whole of yesterday.

Me? My damn left wisdom tooth is starting to cause me discomfort again and I think it is my turn now to go visit the dentist again. Just that this time, maybe I will switch to Hubby's dentist because she seems like a nice gentle lady. Pimple in my nose just won't go away. First it was here because 'aunty' was coming and 'aunty' came and left, the pimple still remains and for those that had pimples in their nose before knows how much it can hurt and theres nothing you can do about it. Take that bitch! Must be all those chocolates I have been chomping down and hot weather and little consumption of H2O made the body heaty till eruptions like that has to take place...... IN THE NOSE of all places..

I have also been thinking that I should start to cut down my food intake. For my body frame, people might think I am still skinny and that I might not eat a lot but sometimes I eat a lot more than my Hubby so yea, I think with all these unhealthy food consumption, it will surely hit me back one day so I might as well start eating healthy now in healthy proportions. I can be such a pig! The last time I weigh myself, I am a whopping 46.2kg! Where did 45 go to? The thighs that I have with me now are thunderous looking and my arms are what EddyHan would call a BYEBYE arm! (with lots of blueblack bruises) DANG! and the tummy? Don't even go there... its so flabby its what you call a SAMCHANBAK (hokkien) My tummy looks like its a Shar-Pei puppy! *sigh* Giving birth ain't gonna be use as a reason to make myself feel better because there is no way that I should allow such thing to happen to myself! I can do it! I can do it! I can do it! Shuddup Simon!



Yea, so there goes my endless ramblings.. bored out yet? =) anyway its late now and I think I have enough of today.. time to go rest those racoon rings I have around my eyes.. some of my friends even suggest me having to getting punch all over or tan myself dark enough to blend in with those two charcoal black rings I have around my eyes. All these imperfections and I am blessed with a husband and child. He must have been really nuts! *gRin*
