Friso Brings My Family Out

Yippee..mommy...family day out for us soon?

Family Day is important for my children because:

1. Being a full-time working parents cum full-time parents, we hardly have time to bring them out for fun.
2. Family Day is always associated with "fun", "activities", "gathering", "outdoor/out of house (hehe)" which is HEALTHY for both children and burn-out parents alike.
3. We(both parents and kids) have never participated in any Family Day Out
4. We(both parents and kids) get to socialise and get to know(mingle) our peers
   
5. It is holiday time and BEST time to join a Family Day!

We hope and thank Nuffnang and Friso for organising such events for parenting bloggers! Cheerios! 

Breast Cancer Awareness Month

What does a woman and mother of two kids think about when we heard of Breast Cancer? 

All mothers would want to witness their children's graduation, wedding and birth of their grandchildren.

So being a breastfeeding mom who still carries a full time job, I must say I am doing a good job to myself and my kids when I decided to continue to breastfeed after returning to work, because it is a well-known fact that Breastfeeding Cuts Breast Cancer Risk!! 

And there are study which shows that this Protective Effect Even for Women Who Delay Childbirth meaning gave birth at an older age! Click here for article on this research study.

High School Musical

I been following the news of High School Musical since the first edition while all the kids in the movie is still young...and now the third edition..the Senior Year.........so fast!!

So far I have only been following the news but have yet to see the movie..with being pregnant with KY till now my second son is 4 months old now...haha..am I the big kid who eager to see it or what!

Now is the time my daughter who is now 2 years and 3 months old starting to understand movies and even can sing along with the hymn...it would be lovely to win the CD for her (and myself..smiling sheepishly :P..ahem) to enjoy it together over and over again in our daily car ride!

Soon, you shall hear us singing along in the busy traffic of KL...haha...cheers to AMBP for the CD giveaway contest!

The answer this question: What's the name of the character played by Zac Efron in the High School Musical movie/TV series is Troy Bolton

Baby has arrived...........

Finally my baby boy(weighted 4.24kg at birth) has arrived on 20 June 2008. I was scheduled for c-section and was admitted on 19 June 2008. Then on 20 June 2008, I was waiting for my turn for the c-section(after starting to fast from 9pm the night before). Finally, at around 12 noon, the nurse pulled the stretcher to my bedside and I told my hubby(who is waiting at the lobby of the hospital waiting to be called and informed the birth of our baby).."Finally it's my turn!".

Then around 12.35pm the baby arrives..

This time round I was half-"bius" and that means I am able to see my baby immediately after he was born. My boy, Shone was delivered by a multi-racial group which consist of a Malay and Indian doc who did the delivery, and a Chinese anaethestic. So I hope my boy will be a multi-racial at heart and in his life later on ! :)

One funny thing to note...my hubby had actually send out sms to dunno how many people dat his wife has delivered to a 4.2kg girl....after he mistaken that the baby is a F-emale after reading a "F" letter code on the baby case.. :P which corrected by me only around 3.30pm. :P

This is d joke who he will certainly remember for life..haha..

That's all for today...will post up more updates and photos soon!

Adious!

Baby arriving soon!

I am scheduled for c-section this coming Thurs!

Wish me well and pray for me buddies!

Will keep u all updated real soon~


Cheers to All!

Passion for books and the Discovery & Experience of a Children Online Bookshop

What does parents who have certain hobbies do when they have children? In one way of another is passing on their hobbies to their children. For my husband who simply loves remote control cars and also watching DVDs, the toys that he always brings my daughter to view is toy cars. No doubt my daughter simply fascinated by cars whether is remote control cars, real cars or those children cars which you need to insert coins located at shopping complexes, some food courts as well as at some wet markets to attracts kids like her. Like father, like daughter so they say.

As for someone who simply loves books, who would spend the weekend after getting her salary at bookshops buying no less than three books at one go do is also to make sure my daughter has ample supply of books suitable for her age. So she has caught the “book-worms” from her mom you can say. I have bought and show her books while she’s only one month plus of age. And from the time she can sit and chew on the books till now she can finally appreciate books. Her bedtime routine always ends with bedtime story on the bed with either me or the father. And she would finish up to three of her favourite books before calling it a day.

Therefore to scout for suitable, interesting books at bargain price for her for a working mom like me is so crucial. So I found a very good online bookshop website(http://www.valuebookshop.com) which has very good review and very personal and good service from the shop owner, Ai Lian, who makes my books scouting a more enjoyable and wonderful experience.

I have starting to scout for books online and even try to get a few at one go to save on the postage and also partly because I was moving to my new home soon. So, in order to save the moving items, the shop owner is generous enough to hold the books for me until I moved into my new house. That is the impressive memory I have on this particular bookshop. Not only do I save time and money on buying books online, I also get to know more information about raising children from the owner who has a personal blog at http://mamasbagoftricks.blogspot.com/.

So, book-lovers and parents alike, I would strongly recommend that you give this online bookshop a tour to find out yourself. Perhaps your IT savvy kids would help you by choosing their online books here at bargain price ;)

Happy browsing and online shopping at this children online bookshop! Till my next discoveries of my online-parent-shopping experience!

Cheers! :)
