An ugly sight

Yesterday I went home by LRT because hubby was not able to fetch me from work. It was raining and the LRT was very crowded, and I was standing in front of 2 guys who are seated.

At the next station, a malay man carrying his daughter boarded. The girl was around 3 years old and she was coughing badly, I was hoping that someone will give a seat to them. As I glanced at the 2 guys seated in front of me, they did notice this poor man with his sick daughter but one of them just turned around and look elsewhere, while the other pretended that he was sleeping (good actors huh?).

I am so pissed with these 2 cold blooded man and I really feel like stepping on their feet with my 3 inches heels!! I think the father was too tired carrying his daughter so he asked one of the guy if he could please give his seat, then only he quickly got up (apparently he wasn't sleeping la).

This is really an ugly sight and I'm sure it's happening elsewhere also. Can't we just show more concern for others and help those in need?

Hassle-free shopping

Christmas is just less than a month away and I’m sure a lot of people are busy shopping for their own selves, and also for their beloved ones. You can imagine how packed the shopping malls would be.

Now that I have 2 kids, it’s a bit inconvenient for me to spend too much time shopping, thank god there is Coupon Chief here to save my time and hassle. It is a one stop center which provides a wide range of discounts and coupon codes on the website. I can just sit back and relax at home and with just a few clicks, I could get all the Christmas presents ready.

For my dear sister who loves to collect jeweleries, I’m going to get her the Inspired Silver Coupons and for her children, they will be getting the Target Deals. This year’s Christmas shopping would be the easiest I ever had.

My breastfeeding journey - Part 4

After 4 months breastfeeding Kaith exclusively, she is now taking formula milk occasionally as my milk supply is lesser, and also she has increased her milk intake to 5.5oz already (she weighs a healthy 6.8kg now)

It's my bad that I didn't pump as frequent lately, sometimes due to work time constraints; and sometimes due to my weekend activities where I'm always on the go, I just couldn't keep up to my feeding and pumping schedule.

Nowadays she is taking formula once every 2 days, the rest of the time are still on breast milk. Same as Dillon, I don't plan to start Kaith on solid until she is 6-7 months old.


Look how much she enjoys sucking on her fingers...hmmm.... yummy.... :)

Save money on MP3 player

My nephew will be turning 12 next month and I knew that he has been longing to have a MP3 player because he loves listening to music. So I’m going to buy him a MP3 player as birthday present.

I’m aware that there are many different models of mp3 player in the market now and since I have very little knowledge on gadget, I really don’t know which one to buy and what the price range is like. One of my friends has recommend me to do a little bit of research on the save buckets website and I find it really useful. It provides great information on a wide range of products including consumer electronics, clothing, household items and lots more.

The best thing is there is even price comparison on each of the product, which helps us to buy the product at its best price and save a whole load of money.

Diaper-free diary

Right after Dillon wean off his pacifier, I have decided to potty train him. Dillon has always been able to tell us when he needs to poo poo so that is not an issue. Our mission now is to train him to pee in his potty during day time, as for night time, we'd still wear him diaper.

Day 1 - Day 3
For a start, my maid would bring him to the potty every one hour, sometimes he would pee in it but sometimes he just refuse. Hence on the first 3 days, he wet about 4 - 5pants a day on average.
Day 4 - Day 5
Dillon became more aware of the mission and he has understand that he needs to tell us when he wants to pee (he will say "shee shee"), but it's just that sometimes when he tells, it's too late and he has pee on his pants already.
Day 6 - Day 7
Over last weekend, it is remarkable that Dillon only wet his pants once, every time he needs to pee he will tell and then will go to take his potty to us.

Well, I guess I can safely say that Dillon has been potty trained and again, I have accomplished another mission. Bravo Dillon and to myself too, hehe :)

I am very glad that Dillon has achieve this before turning 2 next week, and what's my next mission? Maybe is to train him to brush his teeth I guess.

Blinds for the house

Last weekend I visited my sister in her new house, except for the kitchen that still need a bit of touch up on the cabinets, all other furniture and fittings are in place.

However, my sister told me that she had a hard time looking for the right curtains to for all the living room and her master bedroom, she went to many shops but just don’t seem to find one that blends in well with the furnishing. If she wanted to tailored make the curtains, it will be very costly because she would need to have at least 2 sets for each room. Then I suggested to her to consider buying the blinds instead of curtains, I’ve always fancy the wooden Venetian blinds and I used to have it in my bedroom.

There are many types of window blinds in different designs, which can complement the furnishings of any room. The vertical blinds would fit the long window that she had in her living room and yet it looks modern. As for the windows in her bedroom, I think the contemporary wooden blinds would look perfect since her bed frame and wardrobe are in oak colour, and she had the parquet flooring.

Digital photo frame

After having a digital camera, I rarely print out the photos that I’ve snap. Normally I will just upload the pictures into my computer and I will then view it as and when I want. For friends that I would like to share the pictures, I would email them or share it in my online photo album.

Now that there is digital picture frame, it has become even easier to share pictures without having to print them out. All I have to do is just snap the pictures and switch the memory card to the digital frame and then it’s done. I can put this fashionable digital frame on my work desk and the pictures will be constantly displayed, the people that walk pass my desk will also be able to view my happy snaps. If there is a gathering, I can also bring along this digital frame and share the pictures with my friends, instead of having to bring a photo album.

LRT ride

Today I went to the International Health Fair held at PWTC and to avoid traffic jam, I opt to take the LRT.

I attended a seminar on "DIY Enzymes" from 11am - 1pm and after that I spent another 30 minutes to look around the exhibition booths. I left PWTC around 1.45pm and I walked to LRT station.

When I reached the station, I saw many people hanging around, and no one is queueing at the ticket counter, I feel strange and as I walk closer to the counter, then only I saw the notice board which said the train has technical problem and the service will be interrupted until further notice. (@#*&$#%*#)

I was thinking I don't always take train and when I take today, this thing happen, what a bad day for me. At first I thought of waiting but then I overheard the lady standing next to me said that it's been almost an hour she waited, the worst thing is she has bought the ticket but the staff refuse to refund to her (this is so unfair?), well I guess her day is worse than mine.

In the end, I have to ask my hubby to come and fetch me loh.
