Here comes the weekend!

..and so what, when daddy has to work on weekend.

Mom and babies are going to get bored at home!

May be not, we can have some fun playing Play-Doh!

Courgettes in olive oil

Received a pack of courgettes in olive oil through the post, from SenseReach. If you do read from my earlier posts, I have joined the panelist, and have been testing a number of products. So far, I have tested nappies, eco-friendly nappies, baby wipes and baby oil.

Now, I am thinking how to cook a dish using this ingredient..any ideas?

A good day to play toy cars

Jinc loves all things cars, from buses, trucks, vans, tractors to bulldozers!

When we went to Tesco yesterday. I promised to buy him some toy cars as he has been a good boy. I got him a box of die cast cars set.

Then daddy came home today brought him another box of cars set. What a pleasant surprise and he was over the moon!

Look, the ticker says Lily-May is 1 year, 1 month, 1 week and 1 day old, today!
Hooray!

An obssession with cars

Jinc loves cars very much, and he plays with his toy cars every day and never gets bored! I guess it is a boy thing, loving cars!

Cornflake cluster bites

This is so yummy and addictive! It is also very put-on-weight friendly!

Hello Kitty..too cute!

Aren't these Hello Kitty too cute to resist?

They are from McDonald's Singapore. I think it is free with the Happy Meal, or with purchase from Value Meals of something. We do not have this sort of promotions in the UK, and we only get 'very' educational toys from the Happy Meals, a bit boring though..

One of my cousins works for McDonald's in Singapore, and he helped me to get these four Hello Kitty. The best part is, he is giving them free to Lily-May, as a gift! Can't thank him enough for his kind gesture.

These cute Hello Kitty are now at my mom's house in Malaysia...Just can't wait to have them. It looks like I am more of a fan than Lily May does. Oh, never mind, I am sure Lily May will love them as much as I do.

Weekly App

I am recommending Tozzle,toddler's favourite puzzle and you will be amazed how fun it is for your toddler. It is not a free app, with just £1.49, it is value for money . If you would like to try its free app, you can try Tozzle Lite and see whether you are willing to pay for the upgraded version.

This app is simply brilliant for toddlers. Jinc loves it so much and he can spend hours playing the puzzles, which I know, it is not good for his eyes as his age!

Well, at this technology age, I guess most children play with Ipad or Iphone for a reasonable amount of time. So, I am perfectly fine for my kids to use the iphone or ipad for educational apps.

In the mood for the Jubilee weekend!

Red, blue and white on the Union Jack!
Iggle Piggle has the matching colours, and not forgetting his red blanket!

My mum's birthday...

Today is my mum's birthday. Unfortunately, she is in the hospital. She has undergone a minor knee surgery, and according to the doctor, she is fit to go home tomorrow.

Not an ideal way to spend her birthday this year, anyway, happy birthday to you, ma! Love you and wish you best of health!

Olympic Torch Relay 2012

The 2012 London Olympic Torch Relay is held from 19th May to 27th of July. Torchbearers will carry the Flame through more than 1000 cities, towns and villages across the UK.

The torch relay arrived in Worcester yesterday, and Sugar's boss, Mr Frankie Tsang was one of the 8000 torchbearers. What a proud moment for him , to have this once-in-a-lifetime experience.

I have also just found out that LeeHom Wang (王力宏）is one of the torchbearers too. He is the only Chinese/Asian star chosen. He will be carrying the flame through Manchester on 23rd June 2012. Click below to see his torchbearer's nomination story:

Now, just cannot wait to see its opening ceremony on 27th of July!

The twelve-month vaccinations

At the GP surgery waiting for her turn...

Took Lily-May to her twelve-month vaccination this afternoon. Oh my, she was given three jabs:

• Hib/Men C booster. Given as a single jab containing meningitis C, third dose and Hib, fourth dose.
• MMR (measles, mumps and rubella), given as a single jab
• Pneumococcal infection, third dose

She was so brave, she started to cry when the third jab was given, and then I comforted her and showed her some toys to distract her. She stopped and back to her old self again when we got back to the car.

Well, at least now there will be no more jabs until she starts pre-school.

At home, and still my happy baby!

Bouncy castle

Bought a bouncy castle to put in our garden so that Jinc and Lily May get to play outside more. Not sure how long the hot weather is going to last, and let's be hopeful!

The bouncy castle is bought from Tesco costs £79.99. It is very easy to inflate, and it comes with a handy storage bag too, which means we can bring it to nanny's house to set it up in her garden too!

Some bouncing fun!!

Blogger on the go!

Just downloaded this blogger app for Iphone. Hope this will encourage me to post more frequently.

One milk

This scene of having two different tins (types) of baby formula milk has come to a stop. Nowadays, there is only one tin of the same type on the kitchen table top.

Both Jinc and Lily-May are having the same type of formula milk, the toddler milk. Babies grow up really quickly, or rather the time passes so quickly and I hardly ever notice. From the newborn infant milk powder to follow-on milk, and now, both of my children are having toddler milk.

I still breastfeed Lily-May, only in the night....and I am still not sure when I will stop breast feeding. I feel that this is happening too fast, and soon, there will be no more shopping at the baby department! Will I get used to all these, or there will be another baby coming along?

Pictures, pictures...

I am taking so much pictures of my two little ones, every week.

They grow up so quickly and I really enjoy taking their pictures. I love looking back at those picture a few weeks later, or sometimes a few months later. Yes, those are precious pictures, as time passes so quickly and we can never turn back time. I feel truly grateful and privileged that I am a stay-at-home mom, I am always with them during every stage of their development milestones.

Motherhood, is simply wonderful.

Sugar can cook!

It is wonderful to have a husband who can cook better than I do.. For the past few days, Sugar has been the chef of the house and I am one very full-tummy mummy!

How I wish he could cook more regularly and make me put on weight!

Here is one very yummy steam seabass pic...Impress?

It's Instagram Sunday again!

Sunny Sunday, like!

FInally, I can hang my washing outside

Ah, sunshine!

I love to hang my washing outside. We have a tumble dryer at home, and it is such a great help during the cold weather seasons. Been using it so much, but as much as I would prefer, I would always love to hang my washing outside.

Today, it is my very first time in 2012 that I could hang my washing on the washing line in our garden.

Hope to have more days like this...

Jinc's ticker says....

I like Lilypie tickers. I have just updated it.

The ticker says, Jinc is 2 years, 2 months, 2 weeks & 2 days old (today). Wow!!
