My new baby girl
« Previous Entries7 month old baby bronchitis
Monday, March 8th, 2010This is the 2nd time T2 has been ill being an exclusively breastfed baby. Tee started with formula and was exclusively breastfed for maybe 3 months and was way healthier than T2 ever was. Anyway…..T2 is much better now. We’re both still coughing lots with lots of phlegm but at least, we’re not dying ill [...]
Stressed beyond recognition
Tuesday, March 2nd, 2010My little munchkin above is capable of stressing me out to the point that Tee no longer recognises her own mother. I have metamorphosised into a flaming dragon in heat who’s just lost her King, not to another female dragon but to a….to a…..dirty pig! What does He want with a pig? She has no [...]
Our first 3 hours in Kota Bharu
Thursday, February 18th, 2010After waking up to catch a plane at 630am, we finally arrived in Kota Bharu for Chinese New Year at my in-laws and guess what the girls got up to for the next 3 hours?
Tee was sent to do some colouring whilst T2 ate her lunch…..
Then, my SIL taught Tee the Chinese Zodiac and Tee [...]
How to shut a kid up on a plane
Wednesday, February 17th, 2010Whilst we’re on the roll on planes and chatty chicks, I thought I’d share how we managed T2’s first plane ride ever. Tee had her 1st plane ride when she was 4 months old. She has traveled more places now than I ever had before I was 30 and that’s really saying something. She was [...]

What lies behind the mask
Friday, February 5th, 2010See this cute thing here? She looks all innocent and harmless, doesn’t she? Everyone thinks she is absolutely gorgeous! But don’t let her face fool you. She is one helluva chilli padi, even much more so than Tee.She can scream and SCREEEAAAAAMMMMMM…..SOOOOOO LOUD until the porcelain toilet bowls vibrate!!! And believe me, she always, ALWAYS [...]
Baby who doesn’t gain weight
Friday, February 5th, 2010T2 is still 6 kilos after 2 months. *sigh* I do hope she doesn’t fall under the category of ‘failure to thrive’ because that would really be worrying as we not only don’t have Medicare supplement but honestly, a healthy baby is all we ask for!
Everyone who looks at her says she doesn’t look too [...]
5.5 month old baby only weighs 6kg
Saturday, January 16th, 2010HELP!!!!
I have been breastfeeding T2 exclusively since the day she was born. She refuses the bottle so she has been by my side pretty much ALL THE TIME. Except for the once or twice that I snuck out for a quick breather, which left her in tears till I got back mind you. So there. [...]

4 month baby with phlegmy cough
Sunday, December 27th, 2009T2 fell ill 3 weeks ago with a dry cough which quickly turned into a wet cough and then a cough with a runny nose. No fever, thank God! So much for an exclusively breast fed baby. Totally over-rated.
I saw the Doctor 3 times. Because each time she went into a coughing fit, I’d panic [...]
I love my baby girl!

Bamboo baby rompers in Malaysia!
Friday, December 11th, 2009I splurged! Oh, how I splurged! I couldn’t resist. I was educated the other day that my baby’s romper was made out of bamboo. Bambooooo?
Yes, the stuff that pandas eat! Gosh, I feel so dated…..
I was told that bamboo fibers made into clothing are great for babies because of so many reasons, like the fact [...]
4 month old baby with cough
Friday, December 11th, 2009I am wondering now the overrated-ness of exclusively breastfeeding. Because T2 started having a dry cough which has now turned into a wet cough. She is unwell, no fever, but clearly cranky. She wants the boob all day and wants only to be held. She is usually an independent lass.
Tee hardly had any breast milk [...]
Smelly ears in babies
Saturday, November 28th, 2009My little baby of 4 months has been suffering from SES (Smelly Ear Syndrome) ever since she was born. She is so full of shit that it oozes out of her ears. For the longest time, I would clean and clean her ears with cotton buds and baby oil until they got red, yet the [...]
Frustrations of a Stay at Home Mom
Wednesday, November 25th, 2009I know the grass is always greener but today, I had one of those days. Yes, THOSE days. You know, those days when you just want to scream out loud in an open stadium? Those days when you just want to smash everything breakable in sight? Those days when you just feel like eating the [...]
Father babysits 3 month old baby
Friday, November 20th, 2009So last night was THE DAY. Everything was planned to perfection and of course, I’ve told you many a time that every time I do that, perfection gets chopped and crushed into a million pieces. In a blender.
I had brought out a dress. A DRESS!!! Since I’ve always had T2 by my side, I’ve never [...]
Fisher Price Newborn/Toddler Bouncer
Friday, November 13th, 2009I recently read that this Mom with 3 kids is looking for a 2nd hand bouncer like this and must admit that I felt a pang of guilt that we had it. And boy, did we have it easy!
You see, our Nana travels quite a bit and on her latest trip back, she caught sight [...]
Baby T2 is 3 months old
Wednesday, November 11th, 2009How time flies! T2 is already 3 months old *gulp*
She is doing extremely well and managed to fight the killer flu that her sister brought home from school recently resulting in 2 weeks of no school driving Mommy absolutely bonkers. T2 now weighs 5.5kg the last time we checked before she reached her 3 month [...]
How to foster family bonding with a baby
Tuesday, November 10th, 2009One of the ways we spend time as a family with T2 is by snuggling up to her in her little baby gym and smothering her with lots of love, chatter and laughter.
Not forgetting lots of kisses and cuddles……..oh, we are so enjoying our little baby!!! The Hubs is completely smitten by her and Tee [...]
T2 and Nana
Wednesday, November 4th, 2009Look how T2 loves her Nana too……
OY!! Enough of pictures, Mommy!!
Alright, alright. Last one for the road. Happy Halloween!

Sisterly LOVE - then and now
Sunday, November 1st, 2009I’ve always wanted a sister. Tee is so lucky she has a sister. And T2 is so lucky to have a sister like Tee.
T2 at 2 weeks old. T2 needed some getting used to her sister’s rough handling. Hahaha….
T2 at 11 weeks old. T2 is beginning to get used to the rough handling!
Awwwwww……………..I’m so jealous! [...]
My Harley Baby
Friday, October 23rd, 2009That’s my girl. T2 that is. I’ll tell you why.
Whenever she gets mad and I’m carrying her upright, she starts kicking her left leg downwards continuously like she’s about to start a motorbike ignition.This girl really knows how to scold. For instance, if Mommy is late for a feed, she’d start grumbling but when [...]
Learning to string your Dad round your little finger
Tuesday, October 20th, 2009My 10 week old baby, since she was 6 weeks old has been spoilt rotten by her Dad. Every night after our dinner, I would go put Tee to sleep, and he would carry T2 the entire night from 8 or 9pm right up till midnight. Is this how one spoils one’s daughter?
Usually, I will [...]
The Birth Story of T2
Thursday, October 15th, 2009It’s funny how when you expect something, the exact opposite happens. This always happens to me…..before you read this, I suggest you only do if you have lots of time (i.e. after the kids are asleep) and go get that cup of coffee. Hot chocolate may be a better idea…..otherwise come back another time.
As always, [...]
Routine Doctor’s Visit at Two Months Old
Wednesday, October 7th, 2009Wow! I never expected my breasts to be so powerful! T2, from the day we came back from the hospital (55 days later) has grown a stretchy 11cm in length (can you believe that?! who in the world grows 11cm in less than 2 months?!) and 2.55kg in weight! She is now 57cm long and [...]
