Energizer Bunny

My boy is an "Energizer Bunny".... He refuses to take his afternoon nap after CC even though he is very sleepy(rubbing eyes and yawning) and he will insists that he gets to watch his Barney. Normally he will takes about 1 hour before falling asleep after the Barney's show. He normally naps around 2pm and wakes up by 5pm or even later.

Then, it would be a difficult task to put him to sleep at night. I will switch off the lights around 10pm and he would normally play/talk/laugh by himself (I will pretend to sleep). He will only doze of around 11pm or even later....

Therefore, I am trying to let him nap earlier and wakes up around 4pm which will be great. However, as I am not at home, the grandma will entertains all the whines and fannies and let him nap whenever he wants. The problem is he has to wakes up by 7.15 am the latest every morning. I guess with the grandparents around, it would difficult to ask them to stick to my schedule!. How am I going to ask them to wake him up after a maximum of 2.5hours nap? They would definitely say that let him sleeps. Haiz... My nightmare will be Marcus waking up at 6.30pm after 4 hours nap! That night he would stays awake until at least 2am. This is not healthy!


I want him to nap at 1.30pm after lunch and shower. Wakes up around 4pm and then it would be perfect to sleep at 10pm... He would has more quality sleep at night. I guess this is the problem of letting others to look after him...

Monday........................

Dragged myself out of the bed this morning at 6.30am. Trying to chill over a cup of coffee........and of course all the cleaning and packing stuffs. Dropped Marcus at the CC, and in the office sharp at 8.30am.

Next week, I will have to start all over again in a brand new company. Kinda tired of starting new, however, hoping and praying that it will turn out good or even better than the current one. I hate to change job as I am a routine person. Any changes will leave me feeling insecure, however, I guess this is changing for the better!

My very first job is when I were 19 years old. Traveled all the way to Singapore without any friends or family member. In this job, I traveled around the globe, exposed to different cultures, worked with people from different walks of life, and last but not least learned about life is not a bed of roses. I worked for 6 years in this company before calling it a QUIT  

Then I took a huge risk by going over to UK for my degree, using all my hard earned money and of course spending every cents with cautions. However, I have not regretted in spending, as this have been my dream since I were young, to live a campus life and enjoy University.

I came back to Malaysia 3 years ago, joining an industry which is NEW to me. Working my a** off due to the erratic working hours. No holidays, no OT claimable! and I worked from 8.30 to 12 midnights most of the days including weekends.

I left in 2009 and joined this current Company which I am leaving soon. To be honest, I were under paid however, due to the flexible working hours, (which decided by ME) I took the offer. Like most human being, I am looking for job with good opportunity and advancement.

Now, my Boy is able to adapt and attend CC, I am able to work 8-5 all over again.Hopefully this is the Company that's able to offer me something that I am looking for.

I believe that GOD will opens a new window for me when he closed the door! I am trying to live the best out of everyday given to ME with a THANKFUL heart.

Me and the CAT

This morning, this creature really scares the hell out of me.!!!!

I was walking toward the kitchen this morning and saw this scary creature jumped right in front of me. I SCREAMED so loud that even my boy was shocked. This cat refused to leave the kitchen even when i  took a broom and tried to hit him. The cat just walked around the kitchen and jumped on to my dinning table. No amount of screaming or banging sounds of the broom actually scared this creature.

I refused to step into the kitchen after that and my poor boy did not have his porridge for lunch as Mummy is too scare to get it. I made some milk for him as my thermos and milk powder were in the second hall. My husband came back around lunch and threw this cat out of the house. The cat refused to move and fighting to free himself. Scary!

Luckily the cat is out now, but i saw him wondering around my backyard and refuse to leave. How??

Don't think that i am going to leave the windows and doors open for the next few days. I am afraid of cats! but i love dogs. Unfortunately we can't keep dogs at home as my boy is allergic to them due to asthmatic problem.

Weight issues

My weight has been my concern since my teenage years. Till today, after giving birth to my boy, it has been a major issue. I don't seen to able to loss an inch!!! Maybe age is catching up and the metabolism rate has slowed down.I am the fattest among my siblings and since primary 3, I had started to control my diet. Dieting has been my long term career!!!

10 years back when i was still young and carefree, i used to tried numerous formula/ways to shed off the extra inches. Name it and i had tried it all from supplements to exercises, yoga, aerobics and even Atkins diet. The most extreme way was to survived on an apple a day (and water) for 2 weeks. I even  go vegans for 2 years, which  in between only survived on salad (no dressing) and raw foods.

Now, after giving birth to Marcus, and hectic lifestyle, i have no longer have the luxuries of time for gym/yoga. Dieting is not an option to me as my appetite have expend tremendously since pregnant and never shrink since then. Now I am afraid of weighing scale and had never weigh myself for the past 2 years. I know that  I am living in denial.

HELP!!!!! How am i going to fit into my old jeans and pants??? my major issues are the arms and thighs. Any remedies/ways of losing some inches there???

Happy Anniversary " Lou Kong"

Life has never been the same the moment we walked down the aisle. For the better or worst, we are there for each other for years to come.

Sleepless Night!

3.00am : I heard my boy crying and coughing... Woke up and in the dark, touched some fluid. Straight away on the light and saw................... my boy vomited on himself and the bed

3.00-3.30am : Woke the daddy up to help. Changed the bed sheet, cleared up the mess, changed the boy as well. Washed the bed sheet and his pajamas. Daddy entertaining the boy so i can clean up the mess.

4.00am : The boy still talking non-stop and refused to sleep back.... Daddy and mummy dosed off immediately leaving the boy to soothe and sleep by himself(dunno what time) when he is tired.

6.00am: Alarm rang!!! (argghhh....) daily routines to wash and sterilize the bottles,  pack Marcus and my bag, hang the clothes, prepare breakfast and wake the boy up. Bathe and changed

7.30 am : Packed everything into the car and leave the house.

8.30 am : Panda bear in the office...

Why Marcus vomited? I guess he over eat before bedtime. Yesterday night when i got home (7.30pm), he was having his dinner. After dinner, snacking on cereal(whole box of Kellogg) and fruits. 9pm, the dad went out to buy burger and fries for supper and he of course having fries as well. 10pm asking for biscuit and milk and then zzzzzzzz. See, my boy really munches non-stop. Therefore, tummy cannot takes it anymore.....

He is good in snacking, anything from nuts to chips or even fruits and cereals. But not his meals (rice/porridge/noodle) and if he likes something, he will stuffed himself to the fullest.

boy o boy.....

No more supper for the Daddy or Marcus from now onwards!

Independent Boy

   Finally, today after two weeks, Marcus is able to waive goodbye to me when i dropped him off in CC this morning. His teacher Mrs Sham greeted him when she opens the car door and Marcus is willing to reached out to her. Waived goodbye to mommy and happily joined the assembly. I am so proud of him. No tears or drama .... My two weeks (accompanying him in CC) efforts are well paid off

    Actually i did not go off to work. Instead i was waiting secretly in the canteen to see how he is coping without me for the first time. After waiving goodbye to Mommy, he joined the assembly. Dancing and singing with the group. Queue up to go back into classroom. Listening to stories and later off to canteen for snack. Playtime in the Ball pool and of course some singing and dancing after that which he enjoys the most. My boy loves to dance in his own styles and hops around.

   Now, i am sure that he is ready for CC, but I am feeling kind of loss now. Maybe he is ready but Mommy is not ready to let go yet. Good start of the week and i will be able to be in the office by 8.30am starting tomorrow.

Marcus Boy

    This boy of mine is driving me up the walls every single day!!! Refuse to eat his meals properly and taking up to an hour to finish his meals. So this fierce poor mommy has to shout and threaten not to bring him out every time just to bribe him to finish up faster. He really knows how to bully the grandparents and the dad. If he refuses to finish up his foods, he will runs to them for protection. I am always the BAD GUY as they will never raise their voice at him. Sei mou????


    Marcus is currently in the stage of Terrible Two. Loves to throws himself at the floor and test my patient. He will purposely pour the water on the floor and looks up directly me and see whether i will reprimand him or not. The daily affair is me shouting like a mad woman asking him to wear his clothes (after shower), finishing his meals (including milk) and asking him not to do all the impressive stunts that would make my heart stop!

   I think i am getting more wrinkles now.... I need good anti-wrinkles cream Lar Mer

   But this boy of mine is very smart. every time after all his misbehaves, he will come and sayang me. He absolutely adores Barney and will watch it over and over again. I am trying to limit his TV time to one disc a day.

   Of course he is very sweet sometimes. Making funny faces to cheer me up after a stressful day in the office and never ending house chores. He loves to be cuddle. His favourites toy playmate is his DAD and everyone must listen and follow his way.

BAD day...

Marcus has been down with flu and cough for almost a week. He has been failing sick almost every month... Why??? Why???? i am terrified with the word :PHLEGM"... This enemy of my son is a stubborn enemy who loves to visit my son once awhile. Marcus inherited his Daddy's "sensitive nose" and it will normally take weeks to clear..... I hate to go to the ISH... the damn queue is always super long but no advance appointment is allow. First come first serve..... the minimum waiting time is about 2 hours each visit as i need to take my queue number at 8.30am sharp when its open. Then i will need to wait for Dr David to come in the office around 10.30am.... haiz... Phlegm... please go away!!!!


My son has not been gaining weight for the past 8 months due this.... Now he is only 10.2kg for 22 months toddler...Seriously underweight... Hopefully "phlegm" decided not want to visit him again in the future.....(praying hard)

P/s: I scratched my car real bad this morning while looking for parking in ISH. Damn it... i was so stressed up before that as i am rushing out of the house like mad woman in the morning, packing Marcus's stuff and himself into the car and my mind is so tired and forget to bring my damn brain out. Not my day... and ooppss. i am guessing that the boss (Marcus's dad) will be extremely furious when he sees the scratched car.... And it is very BADLY scratched as i bang the car while turning into the basement carpark... ouch!!!!!

This add on to the reason why i hate to go to ISH!!!!


Hopefully tomorrow will be a better day..............

Life in Ipoh

I had been travelling around the world in my previous employment. Enjoying all the perks as a high flyers and pampering myself with luxuries. That was before i am a mother of a toddler. Now, returning to Malaysia since August 2008, reality hit me hard. I always been a city gal who enjoy the fast pace life having spending 10 years in Singapore and UK. Ipoh is a small and peaceful town and here i am without any friends or relatives. Spending my daily routine rushing to prepare myself and Marcus early in the morning, trying to meet datelines in the office and trying very hard to keep the house clean at night.

Its a new chapter in my life and i am trying to cope..... Anyway, life is not a bed of roses and i guess i would just need to stay positive. My boy has attend Childcare beginning of this month but however after 3 days, he was sick and has been staying at home. I guess this is the problem of sending him to CC at such early age. But i do not have a choice as i will be joining a new Company in September and would not be enjoying the flexible working time as of current job which i usually start work in the afternoon.

Hopefully my son will cope and adapt to the CC soon. I know that i am just being a "kan chiong" mum as i was there (CC) accompaniying my son for the first 2 weeks of class. I will try to hide from tomorrow onwards so that he is be independent in CC.

New Beginning

Blogs hopping has been my daily activities in the office (opppsss... my boss did not hear that!!!). I love blog hopping especially reading all the talented mummies' blog as they inspired and fascinate me with all their capabilities and passion in their daily life be it FTWM or SAHM. I am a full time working mom and my baby boy is 22 months. I would like to start my blog to pen down all the moments in my son life starting today so that this blog will a piece of memory in future. In this place is also record my all my sweet,sourand bitter pieces of life...Finally my apology for the poor command of English.....
