I think Jeanne saliva coming out because she wants to try the homemade cake also!

Hubby always busy lately, he has been working on almost every weekend. So, i would rather join my sister to go back Ipoh last weekend rather than staying alone at home with 2 young girls doing nothing. Somemore, my grandpa birthday dinner also will be held on that week Saturday. I took a day off from office on Saturday, so that i can travel back Ipoh. Glad that has been spending a few days in Ipoh with my 2 girls.

Even the birthday dinner is not a very grand one, we just dine out at restaurant, those present around 40 members, most of them are family members and also close friends. I am glad to see that my grandma & grandpa so happy to celebrate this event. This event has created an opportunity for us to meet our long time no see relatives and also have a great get together time.

My Home Cooked Dinnner 11.11.2009

Airasia Free 1 Million Flight Tickets

Last few days, i received an email from Airasia again on the latest promotion starts this morning after the clock strikes 12pm, and i didnt intend to book anyhow. I have been making a few bookings, paid, and end up not going at all. Such a waste of money, even though the flights free, we still have to pay airport tax & admin fee, checked bagage and also most importantly travel insurance policy on my previous booking. I missed out my Bangkok & Gold Coast trip recently.*sigh*I have been forwarded this email to many of my friends. Now, everybody is very excited in making booking ahead!

Today i am on MC, having my stomachache, not sure from menstrual pain or diarrhea. I have been going to the loo often since yesterday. Seen doctor yesterday, doctor claimed that now is the food poisoning season. I take to day off to stay at home, trying to do some house keeping also, after quite sometimes wanting to do it, with time never permits me to do so. Somemore, yesterday the pest control staffs has been doing their spraying chemical service at my house. Today i try to get the help of maids to do cleaning, somemore, it's already year end, CNY is coming soon.

After i chit chatted with my sister just now on MSN, she invited us to follow her to KK next year August. Well, because it's so cheap and irresistable good deal, so i decided to bring my Carmen & mom along there. We  will go for a short trip 3 days 2 nights at KK. I always wanting to bring Carmen along, but time didnt permits. Hopefully, this time will be a reality to her and me. We are waiting for it to happen.

We do have another plan in mind, going China trip again next year. Now in the midst of planning, this China trip will only be me & Carmen, my parents and my sister, Hoong. Not sure the other siblings wanting to join us or not. Hopefully it will happen again after so many failling trips.

I have to be independent nowadays, if i want to go for trip. Hubby is extremely busy, he will not be available to go with us, otherwise is last minute booking, if he can join us. So i dont care much now, he not able to go, i bring along Carmen with me. If i leave her at my in-laws house, i think she is pretty difficult to settle down. She is very close to me, and she cant sleep without me around, even her Daddy also cant calm her down. Later when Jeanne reaches around 1 year old +, i can bring her along too for trips, maybe with someone helping me that time as i will be bringing 2 of my girls with me.

Carmen was really curious on "What's This?"

Carmen thought that this is the birthday cake, so we put up candles and light up fire

Last weekend we went back Ipoh to celebrate my FIL birthday, which falls on 2nd November. Supposingly, we have to celebrate earlier, but because of timing matters, so we postpone it. We have been planning for this event few weeks back. It's not a grand one, we went dine out to celebrate at a restaurant in Kampar. Everyones present, except my sister-in-laws husband missing. He was too busy handling his new house renovation.

We came tried out at this restaurant last time, we found the food there very nice, i supposed they have a great chef there. We saw the set table menu also very attractive, so we plan to celebrate there. The name of the restaurant is similar to a famous TVB drama called "Ka Hou Yuit Yuin" means "United Family". It's a great name, great for family to dine and hang out also.

My secret recipi ~ Baby Food Puree

From this picture, you can see that she is delighted with the food puree i fed her : )

 

 

Her finger ~ licking ~ good expression : P

 

 "The Pumpkin Savoury" in conjunction with Halloween!

 

 

 "Apples & Mangoes Mashed" is the chef recommendation!

When Carmen was younger, during her introduction to semi-solid food or solid food, i used to buy her food puree, the types that sold in major supermarkets. She consumed a lot, on dailly basis, probably from 4 months till 8 months, together with an apple a day, to kee the doctor away!The apple to to be blend into juice for her. Maybe that's the reason for her to have pinkish fair skin tone and smooth complexion.

I also used to feed her bird's nest since she was 9 months old on a weekly basis, till i deliver Jeanne, i stop, because i am lazy in preparing. To be fair, i have to start back, because in a few months time, Jeanne will be reaching 9 months. She deserved to have what her sister have had previously. i always remind myself to be fair to both of them.

Somemore, i still have quite a lot of balance stock in my cabinet, and my friend is helping me to stock in somemore, direct from farm with no preservatives and with a discounted price. And i think myself should have somemore, to maintain my skin complexion. Haha....growing old aready, must really take care of myself!

Now, it's the time for Jeanne's turn. I want to train her to enjoy eating, just like the rest of us in the family. Me, Hubby and Carmen loves and enjoy eating very much. I already bought 2 months supply of food puree from supermarkets to feed her.

Then, i finally realise that i can make my own baby food myself. Somemore, it's fresh and healthier, in the sense that i can choice those better quality organic fruits and vegetables to be fit in her meal. So, i started my chores last 2 weeks. It turn out to be well and she loves it, of course!

I spend some time in surfing the net for the recipis, and i will tried to make it for her to try in the coming days. I want to find more info online because i am not an expert nutritionist, i afraid that i mix out a few items which leads to toxic food. It's dangerous and harmful to baby at this young age.

It has been a wonderful turnout of my latest try out. I have been trying on Sweet Potato & Carrot, Pumpkin, and the best is Apple & Mango, which i think is fabulous, myself also like it. Unbelievable, taste just like pudding. Even Carmen also want to eat it!

My young & hot sexy baby.... first time in the pool, sparing her belly! 

It has been quite sometimes that i didnt take any pictures of myself. I think i still look fat with round face, double chin and also spare tyres easily can be seen after delivery of Jeanne. I asked my sister to help me snap these few pictures during both sisters having fun in the pool at home on a fine day. Well, not too bad.......

The pool has been kept in store, unmoved for quite sometimes already, think probably around half year there. Last time Carmen used to play inside the pool on usual weekends. Now her sister Jeanne is big enough to join her in with mummy's assistance to carry her in. Just wanna let them enjoy their bath and fun time together.

Both with their swimming suit, posting a few posts........sexy hot babes! Hahaha.....

 After such a long awaiting for my sister's wedding, finally the time has come. The wedding reception actually enables me to take a few days off from my work and to travel back Ipoh with my both litte girls to celebrate her big day on mid autumn festival this year. It has been a long time i didnt come back to my parents house for such a long period after my delivery of second baby. Luckily, both of them behaves well these few days!

Hereby, would like to take this opportunity to wish this new lovely couple a very good beginning of another new chapter in life and congratulations in finding true love and the match made in heaven!
