Speedy down!

ARgh.. the speedy line is so slooowwww these days.What happened to telkom? Corrupted as always?

Banana raisin and chocolate chips bread

When I was in Ds house, I baked banana raisin chocolate chips bread using what ever ingredient available at the moment.
I used margarine instead of butter because I bought cream cheese instead of butter and tried to melt it (what a mess and a waste)and also I put a cup of strawberry yogurt into the batter because we forgotten to buy vanilla, I also substituted chocolate rice for chocolate chips and luckily the result were OK.
Just in a few days, whole pan (I used pasty pan instead) were polished off.

Aiyoo...jorok..

Ds has new maid, a pulang pergi maid. Her job is to hand wash several clothes (most of the clothes and wiping clothes are wash by machine) and iron them and also moping floor (with moping stick).
She work only trice a week. She's so lazy, BILs' shirt collar was still yellowish uncleaned and even pants were smelly.
When she mopped the floor, she never changed the water or even rinsed the mop, just mopped mindlessly from front house to the back. No wonder after she mopped the floor, it felt still so sticky and I can't stand it. I mopped the whole house again myself and the result it I have to change my bucket again and again because the water got dirty very quickly. HUH... to tell the truth, my Ds housing complex is near the jungle. The air is clean and not too dusty as in city, but this maid is really helpless. Before she came, I also vacuumed and mopped the floor twice a week but because she's no brainer, she use the same mop to mopped the terrace floor which is of cause more dirty and the inner house and transferred all the dirt into the house.

It's hard to find a good maid with brain intact now days, if they're smart, they tend to uncontrollable and cunning. If they're dumb..well really make your blood pressure rocket high. Also both types are ignorant and greedy.

Where're our mummies old days good maids all gone?

Father Figure

Staying in DS house making me more and more realize how Megan miss her daddy and craving for a father figure.
Whenever SF called his daddy 'pa pa', she'll looked at her yie-chang with yearning eyes.
Whenever BIL was teaching or playing with SF, she'll go to them and joined them. She tried her best , the best as 2 years old baby could, to catch the attention of BIL. She smiled a lot to him, followed him everywhere he went and do what ever he told him to do, no a single word 'mai' came out from her mouth ( which is her favorite word whenever we, ds and i or even kong-kong and phor phor ordered her to do something)
When BI taught her number puzzle, she listened tentatively and mastered them immediately .
DS also noticed and this really break my heart.
Well, I realized that she's the victim of the situation, and this make me felt guilty and soft when ever she demand something.
I know i shouldn't pampered her but sometimes seeing her angelic face, i just could not resisted and just heading her demand.

What should i do......

Spending Whole Week at Pekan Baru

I've spend my whole last week at my sis house in Pekan baru. Now, extended for another week.
Why? Pekan is so Hot. The air is so still that leaves barely move at all.

The reason is MEGAN. She loved spending her 'moved forward' holiday here because of her cousin, SF. They are not exactly playing together (errr only sometime) but his present mean a lot to her.
Her speaking skill is improving and with 'ko-ko' as her competitor, she's more eagerly to learn new things. And SF also happy to have friends to play wiith him, he even let 'mei-mei' use his favorite bolster and play with his favorite toys.

DS house is in Chevron Housing Complex because my BIO work there. The houses are big, huge... with even bigger garden/courtyard (will post the pics to share with you later)
Children can play and run as they like. Here, because the complex is near the forest, occasionally, you can see wild boar, monkeys, snakes. But usually, just variety of birds.
Living here, we're usually listen various sounds of birds and insects. Really... very peaceful here.

The only set back is WE DON"T HAVE MAID HERE!!! a.k.a DS doesn't has maid, so we must do all the house chores... tiring ... and also cooking. And there're so many CECAK!!!!!

Maid, usually can't stand working in this complex because the area are very quiet and they don't have gossiping friends, and my sis only want 1 maid to help her, so usually, sooner or later, the maid would felt lonely (although she slept on Spring Bed and has own TV in her room) and quit.
Really, I don't understand their minds( maids) these days (if they have any). My sis is very kind to them, not fussy and grumpy but of cause she demand honesty and diligent (who didn't??) and the salary is quite high also the food are good, if you, as maid, really want to work, isn't those are what you're looking for?

OK, back to reality, because I can't really cook and children still depend most of their nutrition from foods, DS handle the cooking department. I only help on cleaning department.
Spending another week here, meaning I must handle all my work from here, quite troublesome, and stressful but worth!

Naomi

My mum decided to give Naomi, our 10 years old Maltese, hair cut (a.k.a fur cut)and it turned out the pet shop (pet salon) not only cut her hair..ups fur but also her skin.
Luckily, it wasn't deep wound, they accidentally cut only skin not the muscle beneath and they acted very fast and effective, the called their regular vet to give her stitches (she got 5 stitches...yeah...big cut for such small dog) and contacted us.
The pet shop apologized and covered all the medical bills and even gave her free salon treatment. Now, this is the reason why we better bring out pet to reputable pet salon.

After two weeks, she's happy chi hua hua again (transformed lah... without fur hehehe)

Megan's skin

Why every time my baby's bitten my naughty mosquitoes...her skin will develop allergy and the wounds will turn out like this??????
Very ugly and she can't stop herself to scratch it, make it even worse.

Various doctors from general practitioner, pediatrician and even a dermatologist prescribed various of skin med for her but they just didn't worked.
Ahhhhhh....adding my headache lah... she's a girl lah...suppose to have beautiful silky skin like her mum (ehm...ehmmm) not full of dents.

Mummies...any suggestion?????

Sweet Car

I noticed this morning at the car park that the window frame of a car, a toyota innova, which was parked beside me was full of ants!!!
I was in hurried so in spite of feeling curious, I just storm out to do my errands and when finished got back to my car, I noticed that the same car was still there. The ants somehow was subside and I hurriedly snapped the pic of bits of ants on this car but the pic's blur so can't post it.
This car must be very sweet horrr loved by ants..

Another Stupid Mistake

Well, this is another blur mistake for laugh.
Megan's birthday is next month but somehow in my blur overly used brain, I remembered it was this month.
So, I ordered the cake and invited families to come, to enjoy the cake because it's expensive but very nice.
Just 1 night before the day, I suddenly remembered... this is May.. not June...how come I made so stupid mistake?
Too late to canceled and this cheapskate mum don't want to spend more for the cake so.. the party continued anyway, Megan celebrated her birthday 1 month ahead
Happy birthday baby girl.....

Milk bottle updated

I hunted avent BPA free bottle around Indonesia few months ago (online and offline) and found that all were out of stocks although very expensive.

Because I'm too paranoid after learning the bad effect of PC, I decide quickly to switched to BFree bottle which is BPA free (you can peeped into my previous post)when my cousin who was looking for bottles also suggested me.

And you know what....After months, I really lost patient with these bottle because It LEAKS!!!!
When ever Megan took the milk and you screwed the cover too tight.. it leaked..big drops of milk onto Megan Shirt.
If Megan played with bottle nipple, it also leaked..Why, because the nipple is too soft and the cover...I dunno how they can construct a milk bottle like this.

So I decided to dump the bottles into the dustbin and bought tommee tippee instead. Cheaper and less fussy.....

This is Funny!!

My cousin's wife has just gave birth to a beautiful baby boy this Monday.

When she was breastfeeding her baby, her 3 years old chatty daughter, JS, came into mummy's room and ask:

JS: Mummy...what are you doing?
Mummy: I'm feeding di di nen nen

JS: Mummy...no....don't let di di drink nen nen this way.
Mummy: Nah.. Js, you also drink nen nen like this when you're baby la...

Js (after thinking a while): Js also want to drink nen nen like this..mummy, you hold js like di di (hehehe she's jealous)
she approached her mummy and flipped up her mummy shirt and staring at another nipple.

Js: ihhhhh Jorok (dirty)when she saw the color of her mummy nipple
She tugged the shirt down again and pretending sucking the nipple and said
Js: Js drink nen nen like di di

When di di finished, Mummy pressed out a bit of milk and asked JS
Mummy: you still want nen nen mah?
Js took a lick on her mummy nipple and ran way.

Later, when she was playing with her dolls, she flipped up her shirt and put her doll mouth on her nipple

Grandma: Js...what are you doing?
Js: wa-wa is hungry, wa wa drinking nen nen la....

Funny, isin't it? hehehhe

Picking Up Pieces

of my life...I has no more turning point. Although it seem so dank, I must go on and walk through it.
I'm sure it'll all passed away someday...SOON.

I must strong for my baby girl.I can't just lack down and stop. I bring her to this world, this mean, her life is my responsibilities, so, I just always put her at the top of my list, always try to give her the best of life although this mean sacrificing my own.

I'm not that good mum thought, I have my flaws, sometimes, when my bones aches of tiredness, I felt i just wanted to snapped out at her, but she is still small and innocent. She is the victims of the situation.

I'm very very very grateful to have my close tight families around me to keep me strong through all these turbulence, Really, i can't imagine who're in my shoes and don't have anyone to cry on....pity....
Well, just a few words to describe then: Life must move on..And Be Positive.
