My New Hair Style

See my new look here

After juggling on to the issue of doing perming or rebonding my hair for a while, i decided to have a new look for myself. I have been doing rebonding and perming on and off, alternately for the past few years already. Finally, i decided to have a new hairstyle for myself. I cut short my hair, and did rebonding.

Some of my friends said i look years younger, and i've got a chubby face due to water retention after child birth. Hopefully, this situation will not last forever. Some said they prefer my old hair style, which is long curly hair, looks more feminine. But myself prefer to have this new hairstyle, looks younger, despite i looks a bit chubby.

And finally, today i decided to take a snap shot of myself to publish. Hope to hear some nice comments. Many of my friends surprise to see my new look, some even cannot recognize me!

I Love You

The title seems to reveal something isn't it? Love is a number of emotions and experiences related to a strong sense of affection and attachment. I would say that to love and being love by somebody is very fortunate.

I am so touched and happy, as a mother, on one fine day. Carmen went to school for almost a month by now. Something special happen to me on this fortunate day! This happen on last Thursday, after our usual routine routine, after dinner, hubby, me and Carmen were playing inside our bedroom before we went to sleep.

All of a sudden, Carmen appear right in front of my face, hugging me and said " Mummy, I LOVE YOU". She gave me a total unexpected surprise and amazing, i would say. Happy tears about to flow out from my both eyes when i heard it! I cant believe my ears, and she repeated the same sentence again and again until i asked her who taught her. I believe she learn it at school.

I told hubby, and he didn't believe me. I asked Carmen to tell him, and she did, only hubby realized that our little girl really learn something from school. He even feels jealous as Carmen didn't want to say so to him at first!

Haze

I blame the Indonesia fire and also the locally induced fire in Klang Valley that makes the air-pollution a hazard to all of us. The environment and air quality drops significantly, whereby, many people falls sick, and even children also affected by this!

My little Carmen and myself is a victim to this. Carmen has been having her cough and flu on and off last 3 weeks already, till yesterday, myself was down with stuffy nose and sore throat. I didnt see any doctor, i just consume my leftover medications in the fridge. That's why i always feels sleepy, and if i do not sleep after the medication, my headache will come *sigh*.

I wonder why the farmers in Klang Valley resort to burnt their plantation field to get rid of the unwanted grass and plants. Cant they do it in another proper way? I believe the enforcement officer didn't take any strict action to those who started the fire. And Indonesia is another famous country who started fire easily created the haze o their neighbourhood countries!

Fun Fair @ Giant 12.07.09

Daddy wants accompany, but not allowed for children ride

Wow, Monday comes so fast after a weekend. Yesterday after a satisfying dinner at Klang town for the famous steam lala, we head to Giant at Bukit Tinggi, where we stay, to bring our little Carmen to the Fun Fair just open last weekend. Baby Jeanne not allowed to go, because she is too young, somemore, the weather and air quality is bad out there.

Carmen have lots of fun over there. I notice that she has grown up now, as she can play by herself, for those safe rides. Her Daddy accompany her with those rides that needs supervision. We gone home and prepare to sleep, while Carmen keep on asking us to show her the video of her taken at her school the other day. She seems to like the video very much, she wants to watch it every night and sing the song as well. I think this video helps, she started to tell me that she wants to go to school.

My first week resume work

After a long confinement leave, i was finally back to my workstation on 07.07.2009 Tuesday. I am having a hard time in juggling between my family and also work. The most difficult part is handling Carmen, including of sending and fetching her to and from school. She tends to throw tantrum before and after school, while i am pretty busy when return to office. Hopefully, she will be getting better soon.

I have over a thousand of mails to read through once report in office. Well, i finally finished up reading all my mails on the second day back to work, and from the third day onwards, i am deemed fit and ready to go out for sales call. I do hope that i can adjust myself to suits the working environment and family issues.

I am in a very confuse state, whereby, thinking of to quit or not to quit my current job, stay home to be a full time housewife. Hubby did suggest to me that i no longer need to work, stay at home to take care of both of our kids, Carmen and Jeanne. He will hire a maid for me, but, i rejected his proposal, as i want to work till next Chinese New Year, before i decide on my next move. If really hubby wants a third baby (will be our last baby), then, most probably i will resign after giving birth on our third baby, latest by third baby reaching 6 months.

I am really in dillemma when i hear Carmen cries, not wanting to go to school. Even in her sleep, she will dream and even talk in her sleep about not wanting to go to school! She has phobia going to school, but the teacher was saying that she is a well-behaved girl in school, a fast learner, and stay very active at school.I think maybe i should spend more time with her to let her familiarized with her school environment? Or i just simply do not spend enough time to prepare her mentally and phisically to school? What else can i do?

Baby Jeanne is also another issue that worries me. She tends to cry a lot, and i dare not to become fulltime mother to take care of her, as she is not easy to handle. I hope that she will improve in the next few months as she grows. I am happy to see her growing from week to week. She tends to gain weight and always giving us her sweet smiles nowadays!

The outfit chosen by herself ...... a jumper!

Carmen began her school at Smart Reader Junior about 2 weeks ago, one of the best pre-school i can find in my neighbourhood. At this young age of 2, i believe most of the children out there still stay at home or at least to be taken care by nanny. But i have seen a few children below 2 years old attending pre-school, so called nursery. I always support children go to school instead of staying at home, while their parents or nanny does not have any spare time to teach them.After these 2 weeks attending school, i can see some progress or changes in her. Some good signs and bad habits develop as well.

The good thing is that she is able to:

1~ converse and understand more English
2~ naming and recognizing colors
3~ counting 1-6
4~ reading of alphabet ABCD
5~ eat a lot during dinner time, and being able to feed herself, without me forcing her to eat
6~ develop a bedtime routine, sleep earlier than usual, wake up on time
7~ become very talkative and will remind herself to behave

And the bad habit that appears are:

1~ crying every night before falling asleep
2~ crying till vomiting in the morning
3~ do not allow her Daddy to work in the morning

Anyone out there can give me some comments and recommendations on this issue :

How am i going to deal with a "CRYING CHILD"?

Just brought out from the labour room

I start to worry on my 7 month of pregnancy, as my baby is still in breech position. Even till my delivery due date getting nearer, my baby is still staying at the same position, therefore, a caesarean birth is recommended by my gynae. Baby Jeanne was finally born on 05.05.2009, Tuesday at 8.38 am. She is weighing 3.54kg, head measurement at 37cm, while her height is 53cm. I am being blessed with another baby girl, and thank god that she was born healthy.

Time really flies, i return to my in-laws house for 1 month confinement, and back to my own house in Klang straight away after fullmoon, i cant stand staying in an outskirt area, and being apart from my hubby. And now, Jeanne almost reaching 2 months old in another few days, and it's almost time for me to report back to work.

I pity Jeanne, as she stayed with the babysitter, till weekend only we will bring her home. Unlike previously, we used to visit Carmen at least once a week at babysitter home, brought her back on weekend also. Whenever we are free, we will bring her back home. Now, we are quite busy, me busy taking care Carmen, while hubby busy with work, finish work late daily, and most of the Sundays, being occupied by work.

I have a feeling of quitting my job, and stay at home. But, i am not ready to take care of young baby. I know i will get mad taking care of 2 kids at a time. Perhaps, if time permits, i will quit after Chinese New Year, else, after my third baby, if hubby really want another baby. I swear the third baby will be my last pregnancy!
