KY been telling me that she needs to exercise cos her tummy is big.
Now, I am sure she felt so 'cos many concerned aunties commented she
had a bulging/ big tummy....
I used to be concerned but after reading books that some toddler tend
to have such " tummy" n it is not abnormal... It makes me relieved. I
wouldn't want KY to be so self-conscious bout her body at such young
age, other than exercise is fun & is part of our life ;)

Registration open from March 1 till April 30, says Selangor official
PETALING JAYA: Parents in Selan-gor who want to register their children for Year One must do so online from this year.
They have to register their children between March 1 and April 30 and log onto apps.emoe.gov.my/esppsel/pptahun1/ to do so.
A Selangor Education Department official said applications for Year One entry could be done from any computer with Internet access.
"Parents who do not have Internet access can go to the school they want to enrol their children in and ask the teachers there to help them key in the information," said the official yesterday.
This, he added, was the first time the department was registering Year One pupils online.
"The online system will enable the registration process to be more efficient.
"Previously parents had to queue at the school they wanted to register their children in," he said.
Once the children were registered, he said the district education office could place them in schools.
For full article, refer to the online article here.
Now I wonder at what age can we start applying for our kids? Previously the manual one is starting from age 5 onwards I think...how about online version I wonder?

Hi folks,
At a youth camp when I was 16. He was my youth group facilitator/leader. Nope, we did not get started then….only after I started working 7 years later did we start :)
Not exactly as coming from an All-Girls' school, I am tad bit shy with guys to be honest.
He is a passionate and young youth group facilitator at a summer camp I attended.
4. How long did he take to ask you out?
5. First place dating?
6. How did he proposed?
No formal proposal but we just sort of decided that "it's time". That is why my friends(cum bride maids/ladies in honor) made him kneel down to "sort of" properly proposed to me on our wedding day.
7. Special dates with your hubby?
8. Changes that he asked you to do?
9. What's about him that you love so much?
10. What's abt him you wish he would change?
11. You will lose your mind and crack your head when he....
12. You will smile through your eyes for the whole day when he.....
13. Complete the sentence below.
My love towards my hubby is as big as the love I have for my kids and my life. They are my priorities as always...at every small and big decision I make in life ever since they stepped into my life.
Hi folks!
Last week, after recovering from Gingivitis, I was trying to prepare breakfast and lunch (packed lunch from home for DH and me), but the lunch and breakfast turned out "yucky". The lunch meal was too salty and the breakfast is tasteless…why? Because I think my taste buds and brain are still being "drugged", thus I am not able to make proper decision on how much salt I need to add….DISASTROUS meals…huhu
So next time when I am recovering from any sickness, better stick to cuppa noodles or outside takeaway meals..for safety measures.
Plus, if you are recovering from any diarrhea or vomiting spells, I feel it is even more important not to cook but to stick to take- away or if you are lucky get someone else to take over the "chef" task for the day. This is to avoid spreading the germs to your family…
Hope I stay well and sober throughout the days in 2010!
Cheers!

Hi folks,
Now, I believe every one of us would like to be a good host. It doesn't matter if we like to play host in the first place. Haha…like it or not…(some people love playing host!!), we do play host from time to time in some part of our life, whether is during our wedding, our kids' birthday, etc, etc.
Now, being a vegetarian, I have experienced some very considerate and thoughtful host which makes my visit memorable and of course makes a very good impression on the host as well.
Important points to take note of:
1. Ask before hand or provide an option.
Some organizers are so considerate and global thinker that they include "vegetarian" option in their meal/special diet checklist in their registration form.
2. Aware there are different types of vegetarian. Here are some main ones:
Lacto vegetarian - Individuals in this group abstain from all animal products except for dairy products in their diet. Means they do take cheese ( without "animal rennet", i.e. stomach of a young goat/cow)
Lacto-ovo vegetarians - This type of vegetarian diet excludes all meat except for dairy and eggs. Not too different from the previous type except this group do take eggs and the earlier don't.
Vegans - These are the 'hard-core" vegetarians who avoid all animal products in their diet, such as meats, dairy products, and eggs. The vegan diet relies on lentils, beans, soy products etc.
3. Important points to take note:
a. Fish and white meat is NOT considered vegetarian for most Asians.
b. Some vegetarian abstained from garlic, leek, and onion for both religious and health beliefs.
c. Serve your guest using clean utensils and cooking utensils if possible
The cooking utensils can be nicely-scrubbed and cleaned before using. And for some of my friends, out of respect and logical sense, they would cook the vegetarian dishes before cooking the meat dishes). And some even have special cutleries put away for serving only vegetarian meal as it is common for some Chinese to observe vegetarian during the 1st and 15th of every month in the lunar calendar ;)
Now, I hope it does not sounded too difficult to host a vegetarian guest, in fact, if you master this special skillset (ahem), you would have no problem hosting Muslims friends as well.
In my coming blog entries, I shall share some of the easy- to-make vegetarian party-worthy recipes. Stay tuned…or if you got yours to share, please do! Deeply appreciate it!
Btw, I like to start a simple tag here if there are bloggers who are interested to share…how about sharing Tips to host a Muslim/Vegan/Diabetic/Disabled guest….it'll be such a great learning and sharing articles with everyone! If you do post up, pls. do link amongst us so that readers get to learn to be a good host from all different perspective!
And please, do drop a comment here if you do posted the related articles as I would be your first reader who are interested to read and add on your comment box ;) hehe..
Cheers and thanks folks!

Hi folks,
Before I start blah-ing, have you taken your meals/snack? What did you have? Do you enjoy it? Is this what you normally eat daily?
I would think most of us, our eating habits generally influenced a lot by our parents, and then later on as we grew older, we learnt how to make our own food choices.
For me, I think the 3 guys in my life forms different parts of my eating habits in my 30 years of life.
First is my dad who used to preach that no matter how thrifty we are, never save and pinch on food. We must always eat well. True and behold, my dad made sure we have hearty would take the trouble to pack hot and yummy lunch and bring it over to school for us during our break. And every morning, before sending us to school, he would bring us to take hearty breakfast. These were the yummy eating memories I had with my dad.
Then after started dating and then married to my DH, who is a food hunter and food lover, my eating habits also started to grow from there onwards. Being a vegetarian, both of us loves hunting down/visiting new vegetarian outlets or newly discovered ones. He won't mind driving one hour just to taste the food. More often than not, friends (me included) often calls him to check out what vegetarian eating places available at certain location. So he is like a vegetarian outlet directories to many of his friends. I learnt to get pampered once in awhile not cooking at home but to hunt down vegetarian eateries. I also learnt to put more effort to make the food taste and look great when I cook as presentation and taste is so important to my DH.
Then come along my food-loving son. He is like his dad, loves eating to bits. Bring him to a wedding dinner function, you won't have much trouble with him if you can just find the right food for him to munch. He is also one who makes me eat healthier as since I am still breastfeeding him, I have to avoid some taboo food like coconut milk(or in Malay, we call it "santan") and thus curry, chilli, etc to avoid getting windy tummy. So yes, I have not feast on curry rich in coconut milk for sometime now, though I do occasionally have some which is cook with milk or simply no santan at all…
Now, how about you? Who forms your eating habits? No matter what, I think everyone of us do have a choice to choose over our eating habits. So have you started adopting a healthier eating habit as part of your New Year resolution? It's never too late to start!
Let's do it now! For me, I hope to reduce processed food and take more fruits and salad daily!
Cheers!
Please beware of the latest scam by phone. A woman claiming to be from Bonuslink calls you and tells you about an insurance scheme that will insure all your belongings including hospitalization for a maximum amount of RM10,000.00 [A very convincing figure! If she said RM1 million, eyes will pop out and the brains will generate suspicions]
The number she use to call potential victims is 03-20366555. Last week this number rang but I did not answer as I was overseas. I did not want to pay for the roaming fees for a number not familiar to me.
On Monday 1 Feb 2010 I tried to call this number and it was revealed that the number does not exist!
This afternoon the same number rang and I answered. She gave her name as Haslinda from Bonuslink. After her long and winding explainations, she asked me for my credit card details to do auto-debit for the insurance [Autodebit? She can use the credit card number to clone another card and make purchases faster than you can read this blog! ] I played along with her without her realizing I was trying to corner her. I asked her why the phone number does not exist when I tried to call on Monday. She said that is her call center number and the number is always busy and no one to answer [huh!]
Then she said she is actually from Hong Leong/Bonuslink. I asked which one and she repeatedly said Hong Leong/Bonuslink and telling me its the same, as if she was talking to a fool! I insisted its either Hong Leong or Bonuslink and she said Bonuslink.
I told her I will call her again. Before I could do that she called me again and gave me another number to call. I waited for 30 minutes to call because I do not want her to wait at that phone. I called and a chinese woman answered and greeted as UTS Agency. I hang up the phone.
I do not know what UTS stands [maybe its UNTUK TIPU SEMUA] for but for sure this is a new scam to get unsuspecting people to give their credit card details through the phone to a fraudster.
Malaysians are genius in conning people. They have nothing else to do but think about how to con people. Those working for these syndicates are also guilty.
I have already emailed Bonuslink to inform them of this matter and awaiting their reply.
So please advise all your relatives and friends especially those gullible ones to be extra careful when answering calls from numbers that not familiar to them.
Just my 2 cents worth for th Chinese New Year!

I have been looking around and started thinking about it. Ever since KY started schooling, suddenly I am like other parents bloggers and non-bloggers alike, trying to plan ahead and think for school break activites…wow…time flies and as kids grows up, so do we as parents….interesting!
Lately KY seems to like colouring a lot, During my last trip to Johor, I bought her some colouring books to keep her occupied during the journey. Yeah, I should really start looking into self-printed DIY colouring book 'cos wow, it is not CHEAP to get a colouring book nowadays. A few pages cost me MYR 5.99!! I can get those printed merely MYR0.40 cents for paper cost! Talking about having the time and money…I think I just need to be more organized and plan ahead in order to save cost!
Did I mentioned that I am planning to get my kids a piano or keyboard? So I have to really plan my expenses well so that at least by year end I can get one for them?
Anyone of you have any idea as on what age I can start exposing them for piano lessons? I heard some started as young as 3. KY would be turning 4 this July, so I think it is the right time.
How much would a piano(suitable for their age and preferably as they grow up too) cost these days?
Is second-hand one a possible option?
What type of keyboard should I be getting?
Lotsa questions in my mind now…if you all have any good suggestions or great places to source out these items, pls. do enlighten me! Thank you all in ADVANCE!
Coming back to school holiday activities, I have yet to have much clue, another reason being, hey we working parents got no public holidays at all for Mar and Apr..notice that? So well…any activities that requires our participation from us would be out of question.
So just got to stick to some normal and not too boring stuff…perhaps..colouring again? :P
Thinking …thinking..still thinking….how about you? Got it all planned out? PLs. share with me!!! Help!!! :D
Cheers!
Time really flies, soon Shone will be turning two.
My goal to BF Shone till 2 years old nearly cut short due to recent flu attack and my own careless mistakes of not alerting the doctor that I am still breastfeeding. The flu medication I took was so strong that I can really feel my milk supply disappear just like that…just mere single pill I took. So sad…
I can sense that there's not much milk left but Shone is still sucking hard. Hopefully his diligence can sustain my milk supply while I try to get as much rest and nutrients I can to boost the supply back once more!
Shone at this age is so fun to watch! Ask any parents of a 20 month toddler!
He loves to entertain us and amuse himself.
- Talks a lot
- Sings a lot, his fav are Twinkle-twinkle little star, Incy Wincy Spider, and many other songs we used to sing or play on the Iphone application.
- Like to perform and make funny expression
- Loves feeding himself
- Loves walking more than being carried (opposite to his currently 3 year plus sister who wants us to carry her all the time! We are thankful that not both of them want carrying at the same time, else we would really be building up our biceps well!)
- Loves brushing teeth and washing hands & feet (including using waterless cleanser)
- Cannot sit still on car seat or high chair during meals
- Prefer pushing and examining his tricycle or small car rather than riding on them as if he's a mechanic…oh boys being boys huh? I don't recall KY doing that at his age :P
- Loves his sister but dislike being hugged tightly or kissed by her
- Mimic his sister act at all times, perfectly well at single attempt
Here's two of them on the piano, I think his hands movement really looks like a pro pianist..time to save up to get one for them!
Cheers!

Here's my item delivered on Wed! Yippee!
Hi folks,
I though of sharing my experience about assisting a disabled people…the reason being after hearing one mobility-impaired gentleman remarked his fear of being pulled and eventually fell down when being assisted by another able-bodied person.
During my Honors Degree project, I choose to research on computer interface design which suits different types of disabled user. Thus throughout the research study, I had the chance to meet up and interview and became friends with some of these wonderful and strong-hearted people!
Honestly at that point of time, I realized how "disabled" I am, spiritually as compared to them. Despite their disability, they are striving hard and living life to their fullest! Each moment is spent overcoming each hurdle they faced in their daily lives. Never give up attitude which is greatly lacking in able-bodied person I am. One fine example is when one visually-impaired("blind" person told me that it is common and like everyday "incident" that they might trip over a pothole or uneven ground.
Enough said, I like to just highlight some short points/guideline in assisting the disabled group. I hope this may help everyone to assist in the proper or better way!
