Lovely sisters

That day the elder sister cried out of no reason. As usually, throwing tantrum or her temperature, shedding tears upstairs. Lazy to bother her, i went downstairs for the young one.

I told the younger sister that the elder sister was crying upstairs and asked her to go upstairs to see her. Then she said, "jie jie ku ku".

When we reached, she sat beside her sister, hugging her, holding her hand, kissing her and patting her head. She keep repeating this postures. Oh my god, she is such a lovely sweet girl. She loves her sister so much. In the end they were hugging each other and playing toys.

I have two very lovely daughters. Love them much.

You will get something that you hold for your life. That must be your family, the loved ones. We stay strong because of them.

Piano class for my girl

Previously she went music class for kids. with the expensive colorful books, singing and playing piano bit by bit. It has been one and a half year, so it should start the proper piano class. The fees for two are same, while the proper piano class is one-to-one teaching and including theory. She can recognize the CDEFG on the keyboard, but she can't recognize the notes! i think i can blame the exclusion of theory class. With the theory part she can recognize the notes, everything on the score and how to count the beat.

I always hope to send her to my previous piano teacher. Previously i learn from this teacher at a music center. But this time around i would send my girl to her house. The music center is too far from my house. Glad that she can arrange time for my girl.

Talked to one friend who i've known because we went to same piano teacher in old days. She said this teacher is too fierce. i agreed no more. Haha. i remembered i cried in her class. then my friend said, she cried many times! LOL. That must be she did not practice piano at home. If no practice, it's like not doing homework, make no progression. Then the teacher would be angry and hit your hand with the ruler. Haha. That's old days. Don't know whether the teacher still the same.

But she is pretty. Pretty and young. She is like "see me grow up". I learnt piano from her from i was about 6 years old. Then i finish my Grade 8 theory at 16 years old. So it's 10 years! from a girl to a teenager. Then now i am a mother, and i will send my girl to her. I trust her teaching skill. Most of her students can get high score in the exam. It is important. The teacher has to know what the songs present and direct the student at right track. 

I showed her current photo on Facebook to my brother and he said, "she looked younger than you!"

See how "young" she is! Hope to be like her. Stay pretty and young as always.

Her new sandals

First saw this at Ipoh parade last weekend. Fall in love with it at the first sight. Too bad no her size in the store. Tried the size UK5 and UK7, UK6 should be the most suitable one. The first store we went is al-ikhsan at Ipoh Parade.

Then we went upstairs. Oops, there is Adidas store. But too bad, out of her size too.

Next, when we stopped by KL on the way back, we went to Pavilion. He went to meet his friend. Anyway, Adidas store at Pavilion has no this sandals, i guess, out of stock, or the stock never come yet, because this is quite a new arrivals. Stadium beside left only size UK7.

Sigh. too bad. This sandals is so lovely. I even looked at adidas malaysia online store. Yea, they have it. But that will be our last resort. 

Oh ya, al-ikhsan sells at cheaper price. Anybody can tell me why? RM89 the price at al-Ikhsan. RM99 at adidas store.

We went to Batu Pahat today. I was thrilled that they have it! Terus ambil satu and said "we want it!" Haha. 

So happy i am.

Children

The younger daughter looked more like her father. 

Love both of them so much.

In this era, women have to be multitasking. 

We hardly to solely play a role as mother only.

According to what my mum said, in their older time, they gotta work and look after kids too.

But why are we taking this so difficult?

Maybe we hope to be by their side more than anyone else.

But there is some conflict that we wish to pursue more in our life.

Really heart them much.

Two little sweethearts.

Irresponsible teacher

Til now the elder daughter attends music class, dancing class and bm tuition class. 

Don't know why so many classes have been canceled and will be made other day.

There will be two dancing class replacement, two music class replacement and two bm tuition class replacement. 

There was once I brought her to school, waited for 10 minutes then another teacher asked me surprisingly, "didn't the dancing teacher inform you that the class has been canceled?"

This is a very irresponsible act. They thought we the parents for the good of the children have nothing to do? To send them to school we need to plan many stuff, with my younger daughter left at home with my mum-in-law. Plus the weather was so hot that I rather stay home than drive on the road!

Should not cancel the class last minute if not for emergency. If u plan it, please inform the parents.

I was so mad that I thought of canceling this class. But the daughter claimed that she like to attend dancing class.

Forget about it.

Breastfeeding

It is almost time. It is 38weeks now. Going to due in two more weeks. She can even come out now.

I did not breastfeed my first daughter. I tried. But stopped because of inexperience. The position was wrong. She can't suck it efficiently. So i got very tired everytime feeding her. Eventually the nipples were hurt. The pain is unbearable especially when you take shower. So i stopped. Poor daughter. I should have insist and stay stronger in the matter of breastfeeding. So she can get more antibodies and natural goods from me. The other benefits is to save money. The formula milk is so damned expensive! The one i give her is in the middle-to-high cost formula milk. So regret of this. Formula milk could cost a big bomb to our wallet.

Now i have changed my mind. For the sake of my budget, the first sentence i asked in the shop "Boss, which brand is the cheapest?". This would be the standby for the baby when she's out while the breast milk haven't been produced enough for her.

I should have know some information and knowledge earlier. My colleague told me, she breastfeed her daughter for about 4 months. Stopped when she resumed work. But her daughter never sucked her nipples. She pumped out all the time. Aiya, i should have know this earlier. So that i can do the same. Too bad my daughter was one year older than this coll's daughter. Then i would know the way to get the breastmilk for my daughter even though my nipples were hurt.

Many of experienced mother recommend me of medela breast pump. The colleague adviced me to buy first so that i can induce the breast milk production even when the baby did not know how to suck.

 The breast pump is so expensive. If you don't use it, it will be a waste. Initially i don't plan to buy one. To buy an efficient and convenient breast pump cost you over RM200. Those below RM100 i doubt the efficiency. All those around me bought the breast pump at the range over RM200. Oh no, i did not plan to spend so much in this. After the story of my colleague (she only pump out the breast milk but manage to breast feed her child for about 4 months), I am motivated to do so too. Wish me luck!

I will try this brand too, as many people recommend this. You know what, my sister from USA got one of this at her home. She should have bring this back last Nov. She only used it several times in the beginning to induce the breast milk production. After that her child would get the breast milk in the natural way. She get it for FREE from USA government, as her family considered to be "low-income" family. Western country though charged you high tax, return you in good benefits. FREE breast pump! How nice, she should have bring it back!

Wish me a very happy confinement month!

Weekend

Just back from Malacca for a short 2 day 1 night trip. It meant to be a one night trip to attend university coursemate's wedding dinner. Been thinking whether to stay overnight or not. He said he managed to drive back. After i consult one of my friend who has the experience to attend the dinner at malacca, i've decided to stay overnight there. She attended the wedding which finished at 11pm and reach Kluang at 1am! it is too late for me. This scared me. Better sleep there and have a good night which is safer.

This girl has a better idea to sleep in the car. i found it so funny. my dear little girl.

Dunno since when i've been quite selective towards the food. Once i was a girl without any preference to any food or taste. You can ask me whether this fried kuey tiao nice or not. I can answer you, it taste the same for me, i dunno whether it's nice or not. It's just friend kuey tiao.
But now i'm different. Must be influenced by my husband. I only go the stall which i think the fried kuey tiao is nice. The dinner we attended yesterday served good food. I like it. Nowadays, the restaurant charged very high cost on the couple with the so-so taste food. I really hate to attend the wedding which did not serve good food. It really affect our mood. But the one attended yesterday is really nice. The wedding was held at malacca. But my friend asked the restaurant/cook from Muar. You can see from the menu that the menu costs them at least RM800 with the presence of abalone. Overall, the first dish is good. The fish was nice. The prawn was nice. Everything was so nice. I keep repeating this to my husband. As nowadays, the wedding we went, most really did not serve up-to-level dish. That's sure not the couple's fault. You can still serve menu with lower cost but still in good taste. That's the restaurant standard.

As usual, we would go for Nyonya food in malacca since we stayed there until the second day. I would recommend "Nancy's Kitchen" located at Jonker Walk. We have been the makko and the ole sayang located at melaka sayang. I must say, their target is the tourist. The food doesn't taste good. So-so only. Nothing special about their nyonya food. To me, Nancy's Kitchen serve authentic and delicious nyonya food. I like their pong teh, sambal, curry, everything. They can always satisfy me!

Pregnancy

I don't really care for my little baby this time. No "pantang" on eating. Eat whatever i wish to eat. Of course, i still avoid "cold" food like crabs. But i drink cold drinks. I just think that i can stay slim after giving birth. So i have no limit on oral intake. Eat whatever and whenever i would like to. This is the outcome. I start to easiy get bloated for this very last 2 month of my pregnancy. Oh no, the gastric pain is unbearable. Even can't fall sleep at night. T.T

Pregnancy is always accompanied with leg cramp, backache, lethargy and constipation. Always. Just have to bear with it.

Hope that she (he) would be a very healthy baby. God bless!

很多事情并不是你想要怎样，就能怎样的。

比如说，
你今天想打篮球，偏偏老天下起大雨。
你肚子饿，可是在个冗长的会议。
你喜欢他，可是却不能喜欢他。
你想睡觉，可是得上班。

我们得学会等待，等待着时机。
等待着机会。
等待着一切的到来。

或者，我们学会忍耐。
然后好好珍惜
老天给的一切。
