TC turns 2*!!

Happy happy birthday to my best friend Tracey! We all wish you all the best and Have a great day today!! See you Friday!!!
From Anjai, Dia and I

So sorry to be sharing your birthday post with my maid drama TC but need to get it off my chest! haha

So remember last July my maid wanted to go home cause the husband was ill? Well last Friday she told me she wants to go home cause her son is now so skinny cause he refuse to eat what his dad has prepared for him and also has refused to study and hence he had to repeat one year. Her husband also wants her to go home as he is unable to cope with doing house chores! So I told my maid, why don't they ask their neighbors to help out and pay them a certain amount of money each month and then she said 'mana cukup bu gaji saya di sini'. She apologized to me and I said you speak to 'Bapa' i.e. Anjai. I was so angry but I kept it all in me! I also told the husband who at that time was on a road trip with some friends.

Since we have refused to talk to her and kept on going out for the past 3 days, the maid has been talking to my SILs and mom. Apparently her husband says that with the amount of money she makes now, baik pulang ia balik and bekebun as the amount of money made is equal. She also said to my mum yesterday that if we can increase her pay maybe she can stay! I feel like this is one of her tactic so we can increase her pay!! How cunningggg righttt! Nonetheless we have made up our mind (or rather I have made up my mind) that we will send her back to her homeland. My number one reason to do so is that if her heart does not want to work here,her mind is on her son, my fear is she will be cuai with Dia.

Since we have been going out a lot and leaving her behind. And even when we are home We did not let her handle Dia as much. To my delight my Dia was reluctant to be given to her! my fear that Dia will not be able to adapt to the new maid is now over! I now know that she will be able to adapt. *phew!!*

Our hunt for a new maid started immediately! Made a few calls here and there and hopefully our new maid will be arriving soon cause looking at her face atm is stressing us out!! haha I pray for a new and BETTER maid to come QUICK!

Great weekend!

We had a great time last weekend! It started with a gathering at Anjai's place. His aunty whom we met last weekend in Limbang came over to his house.. why is this aunty special you ask? mainly cause we only meet them once a year and i remember her family was one of the first families i met when Anjai & I got together. hehe

Where we going Mummy?

Dia sleep dulu. Wake me up when we get to Yadu's place

In the evening we went to Carol's for the December Shindig we call it. It was supposed to be a bday dinner for Shaq and Mamat but it felt more like a  Christmas dinner with all the decorations in the house. hehe

Dia was amazed by the snow globe!

And again at the Christmas tree! she tried grabbing the ornaments! hee

It was such a tiring weekend but all worth it. We got to meet families and friends. and this is why i love december so much! I don't know why but people get together more towards the end of the year. I guess now that the year is coming to an end people loosen up their ties and have fun more.. 

Its only Monday but I am already looking forward to the next weekend! hehe Have a good week y'all!

sleeping

We have been trying to train Dia to sleep in her cot ever since she was born but it just gets harder these days. She now prefers to sleep in our bed! Compared her her sleeping in her cot she is more calm in ours! Kalau dalam cot nya she'll just toss and turn with her eyes closed!

Some people say 'ia mencari badan'. Maybe that's true but she sleep peacefully in our bed even if we are not there with her. As much as I enjoy having her next to me and the fact that I don't have to get up when its time to feed her, I kinda miss my own space! hahaha If anyone knows how to better cot train their babies please let me know!

Conquering our bed

Sleeping peacefully

I am so glad that its finally Friday (seems like i say this every week! haha). We have a full weekend planned and i hope Dia (and parents) will be able to manage! it kicks off with a family gathering over at Anjai's with his relatives from Limbang coming over. Then in the evening will be a gathering at Boo's with some friends and then on Sunday a plan to cross the border with TC!

Have a good weekend y'all!

Diarrhea

Since last Friday Dia has been Poo-ing more than normal. The texture of her stool is soft and sometimes watery. When I asked the maid she says that Dia is eating and drinking well, on some occasions like yesterday she drank 5 bottles of EBM which is 2 bottles more. She is active as usual, playing and crawling here and there.

My mum, MIL and others says 'kan meringankan badan nya tu' or 'ada pemandai baru nya tu'.

A quick check on the world wide web, it says that many reasons lead to diarrhea and we should call or go see a Dr if she shows signs of dehydration, vomiting, has a fever and has blood or pus in her stool. Dia has none of those but i am still worried.

Then I read this line in one of the website 'In some infants, teething can cause diarrhea, and diarrhea can be a first sign of teething'. Her tooth has not made any appearance yet so maybe this could be it! HAHA

Its a boyyy!

Ola peeps! May i first congratulate my two friends, H and F in welcoming thier 2nd baby last Saturday.. I don't know what his parents decide to name him yet but he is uber cute! Bunal! hehe

Sleeping peacefully

Jai & his little princess

Congratulations again Da! And I think your FS has missed you and is happy to see you again.. hehehe

Playing in my nefew's car toy!

I think I know what to get her for her 1st yr birthday.. I wonder if they have this car in pink.. or maybe in VW beetle shape. hehehe

Happy Friday!

olllaaa peeps! How you all doing today? I am happy cause its Friday! and its December! Not that I have any leave in december, I will still be in the office.. I love the fact that there is no traffic jam as the kids are on school holidays, Christmas is coming soon and New year is just around the corner.

Oh another thing to be happy about (for me that is) the Companies' budget got approved at the recent Board Meeting! yihiieee! hehe with the new year coming, the Company will be embarking on a new phase. We are expanding and it means more work for me to do. I am excited but at the same time scared.

Ok iam just rambling so i better goback to doing my work! Have a good weekend y'all!

We ez back!

olla peeps! Singapore was... as usual great shopping and good food! hehehe

So we left on Sunday afternoon and all the while I was packing my tears kept on coming. then right before we left I took Dia and this is when the sprinklers were truned on! Oh boy did I cry! and when I handed dia to my maid i can see that she was crying too! hahaha I have that effect on people apparently! the first night was tough on me! I was tossing and turning and was unable to sleep..

Waiting to board the plane in Brunei

Day one of course was a blur! was trying to figure out what the instructor was saying. and was envying Anjai who was having fun shopping in Orchard! so as soon as my course finished i met uo with him in Orchard! A few weeks ago i found out that Sanur was closed down so a firend recommended Tambuah Emas in paragon as it had similar kind of food. We had Cumi-cumi, ikan pepes, Rendang Kambing and Kailan and the food was as good as Sanur! Then we walked around Orchard (with some purcahses made along the way of course) and then made a quick stop at Haagen Dazs for desserts! hehe We had a video call with Dia and nangisssss lagi! hahahaha sleeping for second night was just as bad!

Food at Tembuah Emas

Yours truly

Look at how big the LV luggage is!!!!

And this was in front of Taka. Luckily we took the pics on Mon cause the thing was gone the next day!

Haagen Dazs!

Day two of course was better with stills ome haziness here and there.. huhu We also had lunch at Tembuah Emas but this time we had Tauhu Telur (yumm!), Ayam goreng and Kailan belacan! As soon as the course finished we headed to the airport! Flight was at 9.45pm and we were there by 5.30!! the counter was not even open at that time! Can you tell how Anjai and I was super excited to go home? haha boarded the plane, landed safely and headed home! As soon as we got home, placed the luggage in our room, change into PJs and picked dia up from my maid's room! She woke up looking very blur for the first 10 mins then she started smiling shyly at us! hehe Oh boy did i cry again! LOL For the first time ever we willingly and happily played with her in the middle of the night!

Shopping again in Changi!!

Everytime I called my house for updates on Dia my maid would report to me on how many EBMs Dia took. She took in total 17 bottles of 3oz each and I was able to Express 14 bottles of 3oz each. So i made a loss of 9oz in the duration of the trip. huhu I was talking to a friend about this and she says that it is normal and lucky for us we started stocking up really early. So for mothers or soon to be mothers who plan to BM thier babies and also have jobs that requires them to travel or is planning to travel without the baby, we would highly recommend you to stock up on your supplies, esepcially during the first few month after childbirth cause thats when your productivity rate are high.

oh and Helloo December! Glad you are finally here!
