We were in The Gardens over the weekend. I thought of getting something for my Sil’s kids. I can’t believe my eyes la. It was incomplete and full of dust and worst the sharp glue-like smell is disgusting and made my eyes tears. I fear for Adel’s safety, we left after 10 minutes entering the building. I think half of the merchants are not even ready. A unique scene probably only can be seen in Malaysia where incomplete shopping mall is up and running.

Left with no choice, we head back to Mid valley and went shopping for some gifts in Baby Gap and later for food. While looking around for food, Adel needs her feeding; I went straight to the feeding room in Jusco. There were 3 nursing rooms; two were occupied with mother and baby. So I head straight to the last one holding my daughter. I saw two fat ladies with orange top and sarung skirt (Body Shop Promoter girl) sitting on the couch. Well, I was expecting them to move their big butts and give way to me la. Nope, the two inconsiderate fat butts decided to stick their heavy bottoms on the couch and ignore me. What the F? People are so bloody inconsiderate. Hello…knock knock, wake up, go else where to curi tulang. I WANT TO BREASTFEED. I have no choice, just took a stool, still holding a big bag and my daughter and they are chatting very loud. I sat beside them to feed. Feel like strangling them. It was very uncomfortable, I just walk off the next room…arr…it was empty edi, Phew, relief!

Well, nonetheless the weekend is still fun with 2 kids.

Took some photos of Adel 2 weeks ago lifting up her head.

I was just thinking to back up my blog this morning and I found this IBackup online storage website. It has very innovative storage features – a network drive technology that allows uses to treat IBackup as a local hard drive. You could then browse files and folders, copying, pasting, delete, create new folders, drag-n-drop, open and edit files from your application as if the files were on your local PC without having to download them first. WOW!

IBackup’s desktop applications also outperform its competitors by at least 30-50%. This indicates productivity and monetary gain as well. I am going to give it a try today, what about you? This is a sponsor post.

Time flies, my girl is 2 months old now. I am 2 months out of job too, going on 3 months. I gave myself till December, by then she would be 5 months old. It would be easier for anyone to take over. It was a little hard initially. However, I have grown to love sticking at home all day long. Hah! Feeling of useless at times but after all I am the meal provider for my girl.

I breastfeed her all day long at home and outside; Occasional mix of Formula if my production isn’t able to cater to her demand. I spend my day goo..gaa with her ( she is definitely one ji char po, very talkative) . I encouraged her brother to talk to her as well. Adel girl is generous with her smile especially when her bro throws her passionate kisses & tickles.

She sleeps on her tummy and is able to lift her head up looking around the cot. If we are out the whole day shopping, she would sleep throughout the night. I have been able to express some milk at night for storage when she missed her feeding. Of late, she seems to drink a lot more and unsettle before sleeping. I sooth her with a pacifier, it really is a great help to the zombie me. Hopefully, she would continue to sleep through the nite so I could catch up with some blogging & ppp.

Update: Just sent Adel for her 2nd month vaccine - Triple Antigen and Oral Polio + one new vaccine, can’t remember the name. She was very brave and never waste any of that expensive (RM175) oral medicine. Despite the rough oral med and the injection, she never cries. A brave girl I have here. I am proud of her.

Weight: She is 5.4kg from 4.1 last month (put on 1.3 kg)

Height: 57cm from 53.5cm last month

Head circumference: 39cm from 37cm last month

A little update of my girl, she is a fun girl; she loves to smile. Whenever I feed her, one of her hands and fingers would tickle me on my waist. Haha! And she loves to talk back with eye contact if I make “gu gu” sound. No matter how tiring and sleepy I am, the moment I see her smile, all worries would varnish in the air. It’s nice having daughter you know, somehow I have stronger connection with girl, may be I am breastfeeding her as well. She has put on quite a bit of weight, I could feel it when I hold her heavy head while burping her at night, my hands ache, yea, no joke. This girl drinks more than the brother.

Talking about Ivan, he is ever demanding now. Sometimes appear to be so caring about his sister but at times super jealous. He woud ask for me, “ME” only to make milk for him when I am in the middle of feeding adel. He also developed a habit of beating people. I just got whacked by him on my right arm after waking up from his sleep. You know sometimes, I have to be soooo patient, I can’t beat him also when the father is around, the father has all his super duper *irritating* comments on me but hardly lay his hands to help. [ On the other hand, to be fair to him, he has done a great deal during my confinement. Seeing him busy for our stuff during day time and work during night time, I was touched. Thanks you daddy! Only you have a little more patience, we would have avoided a lot of arguments]

Yea, you’re so right, after the no. 2 comes, there is hardly peace in the house. Totally, absolutely NO me time. Ouch! my arm hurt, thanks to my lovely son who looked like a starving African kid with obvious rib bones that can be count. Me so mean hor? I was worried about him however, his appetite is back now after 2 weeks of bugs. I admit that I have spend less time with him lately resulting him indulging himself on TV and computer games. Well, he eats faster while facing the Mac. Hmm…as long as he eats…and I do limit the length of him facing the computer.

Thanks for all your comments and encouragements. I do read them but I have to apologize that I have very little time left for blog hop. I will if I have some spare time.

Here I would like to share a list of confinement ladies I gathered.They are recommended by good cl according to my friend. If you have tried any of them and if they are good or otherwise do leave your comment here. Thank you!

My current new Cl is very pleasant. She called me to check out how was Adel and myself. She wanted to see what I wrote about her in my blog. There you go, her pretty face (she is 50 yr old). Talks to Adel a lot, cook very nice “Chu kiok chow” and every night I have different herbal soup or something “pou” before I sleep. Now my skin glows. Oh yea, she knows how to massage and do the balut for tummy as well. Over all a thumbs up from me.

It’s been ages since my last update. Adel has turned one month old last Saturday. We had a full moon party at my in-laws place. It was a splendid and happy moment but a very tiring one as well.

Things are going pretty fine except poor Adel caught flu bugs and cough from her elder brother and mommy. I had serious spinning headache, vomited yesterday morning, high fever of 38.9 degree. Phew, luckily after taking medication from doc, feel so much relief now.

Brought Adel to see doctor Eric last night, took her 2nd Hepatitis B injection. She was cranky the whole night. She cried so loud during the jab, like someone has punched her so hard, oh poor girl! I hope she would recover before my CL leaves on this Saturday. One thing for sure I am happy about Adel is she is better drinker than Ivan; she could drink 4-5 oz of milk at one go. Her current weight is 4.1kg. I just hope my milk supply is enough for the little one. At the moment my each expressing milk is about 4-5 0z as well.

My confinement is over except CL is still around, she forbid me to take bath but I curi curi take also. Kekekeke! She is good, I am happy with her performance so far. One thing I like about her is she talks to Adel a lot; Adel seems to be responding to her talk. She even trains Adel to use the potty already. Haha! Well, I sure going to miss her when she is gone. I have to cook and take care of everything, feeling so reluctant to let her go. I had become so lazy with her around, just hope that I could pick up the pace and be an efficient mom again.
