It was the usual working Friday. And it was the last few weeks before we celebrate Chinese New Year. And this time round, I suggested to hubby that we made a trip to Isetan KLCC to check things out. So hubby went over to pick dearly Kye Xin and came together to pick me.
We did not buy anything except for Kye Xin's dress. She is always the one with the most buys as we tend to look for her stuff more than our own. Naturally I guess, when kids came into our life.
Dinner time, about 7pm, I suggested that we go dinner in Desa Setapak. It was our favourite place to eat way before we moved into our new house. That night, it rained. And the place where hubby parked his car was abit narrower than usual.
I used to sit at the back of the car with Kye Xin. But I chose to sit in the front that night, simply because it was raining heavily and of the reason stated earlier. And I just dumped my handbag and Kye Xin's bag to the back seat. Neither did we realise that we became the robber's target!
Hubby stopped at the traffic light in Jalan Genting Kelang, opposite Kenny Rogers. I remembered our conversation was about our daughter whom had grown up so fast and how time flies where suddenly we heard a loud bang on our car. My first reaction, is there an accident? Hubby then looked behind and noticed a pair of hands trying to grab my handbag away. Oh my God, they came to break the mirror and aimed at my handbag. I was in total shock, I did not do anything but to just looked into Kye Xin's eyes. She appeared to be cool, did not cry and I just told her to quickly hug me. Thank goodness, they failed and we were all safe.
We quickly drove the car to the police station and made a police report. I informed the babysitter and she came to pick Kye Xin. She stayed overnight at her house that night while we settled the car. The next day, hubby went to fix the car and washed the car.
The day we feared the most - we never expected that those stories or experiences we read in e-mails/newspapers had happen to us. And the day we learnt - we are more alert and not to expose our belongings. Whenever we are at any traffic light, I will look left, right, left, right! The phobia is still with me, but I choose to be extra alert now!
Imagine those beasts did that even with my baby in the car. I couldn't think of if they were to hurt my precious Kye Xin. Hubby and I thanked Kuan Yin for this. We survived and we shall learn from this incident!

My reward for Year 2010
I have always reward myself for the hardwork I contributed every year. And 2 January 2011, I decided to go for the gadget I eyed since its launch last year - Iphone 4. I made an early visit to Maxis KLCC and managed to get a number to buy the unit. Decided to go for 32Gb, iValue 1 plan for 24 months. The process is not long though, it wasn't that bad as compared to those who bought it before. First impression, amazing and nice. And second thought, how to use ar?
I am glad that there are a group of Iphone 4 users in the office and they are kind enough to share and teach the techniques. Downloaded quite a number of Apps, sync-ing in my contacts, photos and music files.
One good thing, Kye Xin doesn't know that it is a smartphone and showed no interest with my new gadget. Good! At least I am not too worried if she takes my phone to play with.
My days will be even more colourful and enjoyable with my new gadget!

The end of the year 2010
How fast time flies! I had greeted goodbye to 2010. Memories seem flashing through my mind, and I wondered what I had done in the year 2010. Hmm, raising up Kye Xin will be so far one of the proudest moment I had ever did. She is merely two months old when it was January, one month after another, lots of ups and downs, from learning to turn over, to sit, to crawl and surprising us by walking just before turning one.....how amazing a child's development is. And she managed to call me Mama and hubby Papa. Love her dearly much.
Kuan Yin was also very kind to me for blessing me with my pre-pregnancy figure. A sincere thank you to Her! I did receive compliments that I am thinner than before. And I wonder how I did that. No doubt I am now gaining my weight, I would just have to watch over my diet.......to prepare for the upcoming CNY.
Hubby's career did change too....he made a hop to another company....many challenges before he accepted the offer.....many discussions, arguments, but yet I am glad he did the right move. Our days are going to be tougher this year, hopefully he will be able to sail through.
Me at work, projects come projects. Never ending, with all three quarter closing came one month earlier. Stressful, knowing that I have another work on after my office work a.k.a. babysitting. That is why I felt I am more determined and careful in whichever decision I made. I know the family need me and I have to be physically and mentally ready to be with them.

Kye Xin Walks.......
I arrived KL on 25 Oct 2010 morning. I went straight to Ora's house to clean up and changed. We ate breakfast and she fetched me home. I took the time in the afternoon to clean the house. Hmmm, nothing much changes, except that the floors are abit sticky. Yoke was kind enough to fetch Kye Xin to me. The minute I see her, I do not know what to say. Missing her.....but Kye Xin seemed blur looking at me. Who is this person?
The minute we entered the house, I realised she knew I am back home. And in another few minutes later, she surprised me by walking a few steps unsupported to hug me. I remembered myself saying to her to practise walk and walk and show Mummy when Mummy returns from Shanghai. Kye Xin did listen to me and did her job absolutely well.
And from the day onwards, her walking days begins!

Hangzhou & Shanghai 16-25 October 2010
I knew it is about time for me to update my blog. I treated myself for a vacation by joining Ora to a trip to Hangzhou and Shanghai from 16-25 October 2010. It all started when Ora said that she is going to visit the Shanghai Expo 2010. She will be provided with free accomodation and thus can allow to bring a friend along. There she came and pop me the question. I thought and thought, and asked for consent from my hubby. Little did I know that he agreed to let me go and willing to take up the responsibility as both Daddy+Mummy throughout my vacation.
I guess in my whole lifetime I did not travel to overseas as much like she did. I handed the whole responsibility to her to plan for the vacation. I voiced my concern to go to shop for my girl's clothing. Not much sightseeing needed, I said. I can shop, shop and shop.
We reached Hangzhou and stayed for a night. We had the chance to walk around the town the following day.
We took a train down Shanghai at about 6pm. I was feeling like being sold as a slave while taking the train. No seat is provided, we bought the wrong train tickets, I was tired, and there goes our one and a half hour in the train. The minute we reached Shanghai, we boarded a taxi and headed to her friend's house. Ivy@Haylsen, I remembered.
We went to Shanghai Expo 2010 for the following two days. We were lucky to be able to purchase the admission tickets at the lower price. Thanks to Rachel from Technip Shanghai. I tell you, the place is absolutely huge, very very nice, amazing, clean......salute to the China government for organising such a wonderful place for us to visit. Of course we did not get to go into all the Pavillions, however we managed to capture hundreds of photos. I would like to thank Ora for teaching me on how to use my DSLR, and I even received compliments for able to take such great photos.
Next, Ora took me to tailor made my office clothes, RMB 90 per piece. I would say it is value for money - we choose the cloths, we choose the design, and they will finish tailoring in a few days time. Then, it is my girl's clothes hunting days. We went to a place called Chi Pu Road, something like Sungei Wang complex. There are about 4-5 complexes here, each level selling clothings for men, women, kids and etc. I shopped like mad, bought lots lots of clothes for Kye Xin. The bonus is they were extremely cheap, many of them cost less than RM10 each.
Apart from all this, Ora took me to go for some sightseeing, namely The Bund. I loved those night views. I missed hubby and Kye Xin alot while I was there. I also managed to buy some tea leaves, gifts and souvenier for relatives and friends.
Overall, I find my money is well spent for this trip. Though tired walking, taking public transport everyday, but I am glad to join in this trip with Ora. Big and sincerely thank you to Ora Ong.

Kye Xin Bb's Walking Journal
I have been very lazy nowadays to pen down my blog. Kye Xin Bb is growing each day and becomes more demanding these days. And she is slowly learning to walk, which means my job is even more challenging and difficult. There were a number of times where she fell, and I had good scoldings for that. She can walk with support by clinging to the tables, the sofa, the chairs. At few occasions, she can walk the most four steps unsupported. However, we musn't call her name out loud, she will be very nervous and end up sitting and back to her crawling.
For the past two days, I kept looking at her and found that she looks more mature now. She knows how to listen to us. For instance, I had a fish rubbery toy which I had it in the car and I called it FISHY. Every morning, I would ask her, Where's Fishy? And she will take the toy up and show me proudly. Other things like when you said you want to hug her, then she will come to you and hug you. And when I said I want to change her shirt, she will raise up both her hands.
The babysitter also taught her if she feels afraid, she will pat her heart with both her hands. And if she wants us to rub the medical oil, she will pat her stomach with both her hands. For all this development, I felt it is amazing, and Kye Xin Bb being a baby less than 1 year old, I am very proud of her.
Today, I will be flying off to Shanghai. And to this, hubby had been good to take over my job for a week. He will be fetching Kye Xin Bb everyday and take care of her during weekends. I also told Kye Xin Bb of the plan, hoping she will be a good good girl. Hopefully everything will run smoothly and I'll be seeing them again on 25 October 2010.

Very very high fever, yet still smiling!
Last Saturday morning, 25 Sept, Kye Xin Bb was down with high fever. I started to feel that her body is warm when she came back on Friday night. We thought what would cause the fever. As the nanny is sick, she thought if it was her who transmitted the virus to her. Since Dr. Johan is in on Saturday, we took her there. 39 degrees, doc said. And he immediately instructed his nurse to put a bullet @ medicine to her buttock. He proceeded by giving Kye Xin Bb a thing to hold while he checked on her. Her throat was slightly red, but no ulcers. At the end of the examination, doctor said no doubt she is having fever, but she doesn't look like in pain. He was pretty amazed with her.
The thing we fear most came. I asked hubby to put her on the weighing scale. On July10, she was at about 11.2kg. It was funny to hear how hubby commented. When he placed her on the scale, and the scale passed 11, he said no hope already. He meant for her weight reduction. And the result was, Kye Xin Bb put on half a kg, total 11.7kg.
Then again, the nurse and doctor said it is normal for her, in terms of her size and height. This round, Kye Xin Bb greeted the doctor 'Bye bye' with her hand. She laughed out loud and I tell you, she remembered this place.
As a result, no swimming session this weekend. Kye Xin Bb was so stoned after taking the medicines. Even when I went out for an outing with my friends, she doesn't have the mood to smile and entertain them. She just sleep and sleep.
Today, nanny bought the Chinese medicine for her. And one discovery, there are about 3-4 new teeth at the upper level, all come out at once which explains the reason why she had fever non stop. I tell my girl, a few teeth out at the same time and yet she did not cry and remain active and playing about, she is my little good girl. What happens next, she clapped her hand and happily laugh out loud. Tough girl!

Naughty, naughty Bb
Nowadays, Kye Xin Bb is non stop moving here and there. She is slowly learning to stand by herself now. Yesterday, she surprised me by standing herself, her hands flipped like wings. Smart girl, she knew how to balance herself. I immediately ask her if she is ready to walk.
Besides that, I came to discover that she knew how to get down from our bed. She will crawl backwards to the side, one leg down to touch the floor and then only the other leg down. Hahahaha, we captured her video. It was funny looking at them.
These few days, Nanny was not feeling well. She has been coughing very badly. Poor thing! Luckily Kye Xin Bb did not give much fuss to her. During the Mooncake Festival on 22 September 2010, nanny brought Kye Xin Bb to her SIL's party. How nice of her! The nanny told me that Kye Xin Bb slept from 1-5pm that day. She seem to know that Nanny is not feeling well and also she is getting ready to go to the party. Good girl! When I went to fetch her, I can see that my baby enjoyed in the party. Thanks to her, Kye Xin's first Mooncake Festival ever celebrated will be very memorable. And I prayed that Nanny would recover very very soon!

Second Birthday Gift - this comes all the way from Australia
Lee Ting came back for a week's holiday. We had chance to meet up for lunch and she bought my girl a dress. And I am treating this as my girl's birthday gift. We are worried at first if it can't fit her, but later on I tried it on her, and I can say she can wear it for quite sometime. THANKS LEE TING! Though you didn't have chance to meet Kye Xin Bb in person, I am sure you'll love her as much by looking at the photos I uploaded.
Kye Xin Bb's First Birthday Gift
Kye Xin Bb received her first birthday gift - from her Nanny. She bought her a dress and a pair of shoes. How thoughtful of her! There is about 2 months to go before she turns one year old. OMG, she is more anxious than me...... anyway THANK YOU! Kye Xin Bb will surely love them!
Kye Xin Bb
I started to call her Kye Xin Bb lately. Sometimes she is just driving me nuts, sometimes acting very very innocent and when you started to pity for her, she would turn into a rascal again....Hahahahaha, I believe babies who are on formula milk would be behaving like what my girl is currently doing. Their brain progress and actions are tremendous. You will never know what she would have learned so far.
My days get busier in these 2 weeks. I am in the midst of closing the accounts for co's 3rd quarter. And taking care of her is a must everyday, I can't apply for AL, EL, ML..... She is very demanding nowadays, if given the chance, she will explore every part of the house and take those forbidden things. Her daddy is the one who worries the most, Kye Xin Bb will take the items and put into her mouth. We fear there will be germs. See, the photos below are taken on 11 Sept 2010, I really beh tahan looking at the photos taken. Somehow she just loves to pose in front of the camera, and it is very obvious that she looks real real naughty!
We created a new hobby for the family - SWIMMING. It is now our weekly regime, big thank you to hubby. He really stress on the importance of bringing her precious to swim. Bonus - nanny had given Kye Xin Bb her daughter's bath robe that she used to wear. With all that, this would mean Kye Xin Bb has a complete set of attire and accessories for her swimming. Each time when we want to go, I would say out loud, "SWIMMING SWIMMING", my girl will laugh out loud and is ready to get changed into her swimming suit. And now when she is in the pool, she will beat the water with her hands and her legs will kick and kick. Best of all, I get to swim and exercise. Hubby knew I hardly had time to exercise, he would then give me time to swim and he would take care of her. So far, we failed to capture moments of her swimming as three of us are in the pool already. I felt happy swimming now, one family together, doing things we love together.

Angel's very own ANKLET!
We reached Taiping yesterday morning, one of the destination for our Merdeka holidays. I came back to visit my parents and it is also Angel's second visit ever since Chinese New Year. As usual, 48hrs is simply not enough, tomorrow we will head on to Teluk Intan to visit my parents-in-law.
Today, for breakfast, we went to eat wan tan mee at our favourite stall. Then I went to dentist to do my first ever "SCALING". Hmm, it was a good experience, and it is not painful. The fee charged here is much cheaper than in KL.
In the afternoon, I made a visit to Juru to see Ee Lin and husband. She is expecting, due 18 Oct 2010. I wished her luck, and will be praying for her safe delivery this coming Oct 2010.
At night, we went to Restaurant Kai Xin for dinner. Hmmm, coincidentally same name with my girl's name...I mean the pronounciation.
And yesterday night, we went to buy Angel a silver anklet. I felt now is the time we put on her with accessories. And with the bell, we will be able to know where she crawl/walk to or even when she wakes up. Haha, at first she felt funny wearing it, but now she no longer bothers.
I told her, "Mummy & Papa can't afford to buy you gold now, we buy silver first ok?" Hopefully she understands!
These are some of the photos taken during my 48 hours in Taiping:-

24 August 2010 - A day I will never forget!
It was about 3pm. I was working like usual in office, busy updating my work and getting prepared for the coming quarter closing when I received a call from my babysitter. She sounded panic and trembled. She asked me not to get panic over what she will say to me next. "Ah B just fell off my bed", she said. My heart sank. Can't describe how I felt, and I thought, this is not the usual fall she used to have. She later explained the whole situation. My girl's head bleeds! Her husband drove her and my girl to the nearest clinic. She promised to keep me updated of her progress.
According to her, the bleeding was not that serious, and the wound is about the size of 2-3cm. She even commented that perhaps my girl has to go for stitches. OMG! I was already in tears!
The doctor later wrote her a reference letter and asked her to bring my girl to the KL GH for further checkup. According to him, my girl is very small and he wanted to ensure that she is all right. Without fail, she rushed her to GH and on and off we were on the line to ensure that I keep up to-date of her progress.
After doctor's examination, my girl does not have to go for X-ray, she doesn't show any symptoms like vomiting, etc. OK, passed first stage. Then she was brought to another doctor to see her wound. Thank goodness she does not have to go for stitches. They glued her wound only. Best thing is my girl is not crying the whole session from the clinic to GH. Except from the initial fall and the time the doctor glued her wound, the rest of the time, I would hear her laughing and shouting out loud. Even the doctor and nurses in GH also commented that why an active baby like her could end up waiting for doctor's examination.
I ended my work sharp at 4.45pm, went over to pick hubby and rushed back to fetch her. My hubby of course was very sad, figuring out why such incident happen. Of course, no one would expect that to happen. And I wouldn't want to blame any party over this matter. Anyway, thank goodness she is now well and recovering.

Pinky Pinky Pie Pie
Lately, we are into swimming. My colleague, Elaine gave me his son's float to my Angel. And last Saturday, we went to the Parenthood Fair in Midvalley and ended up buying a swimwear for my girl. Hahaha, two piece. And it's pink in colour. I told myself, since I can't wear two piece, my girl shall represent on my behalf. Hmmm, still her big belly is exposed.....and it is very cute. So far, I have not taken photo of her wearing that yet, but it will come real real soon.

Third tooth and a bad illness!
Angel's third tooth just came up. And she also had her first jab of pneumococcal two weeks ago. Things got worse when she is sick at the same time. Her flu and cough worsen. Last Monday, suddenly she developed high fever, up to 39.4 degrees. I was so afraid that I quickly wake her up and feed her with fever syrup. After work, I brought her to see doctor when he said she had throat infection. The whole week was crazy. Thank goodness, my nanny is helpful enough. And now she recovered. It was seriously a tiring week for all of us.
Signs of learning to walk!
Angel will soon turn nine months old in 2 days time. She has been progressing very good so far. Now, I can see that whenever she is crawling, at one step, I see she is trying to stand up herself. She can now lean on the couch and the other hand holding on to her stool. I tell you, she is absolutely daring, she is not afraid that she might fall off just like that. There are a few incidents and alot of times, it happen when I am alone with her. As usual, hubby would nag and nag when I informed him. To him, my girl is now the first priority and his gem of course. He is seriously loving her more and more, sometimes too much till I felt he should have let her to learn to be independent enough. Nevertheless, I am happy that he is learning to be a good father day by day!
Now it is hubby's turn, Pa Pa
Over the weekend when sis was here, Angel started to call out Papa. Hubby was very sure she called him this time. He kept on asking her to repeat. Hahahahaha, he finally got his turn. Monday night, she was calling us, both Ma Ma and Pa Pa. We were too glad to hear this. Her progress and development were tremendous. Now she can walk while holding on to the stool, her babycot or anything else. Her crawling skills improved too! Good girl!
Sis's visit
We had sis and her two kids over the weekend on 23-25 July 2010. The plan was to go to the Midvalley International Toy's Fair and also to purchase milk powder and diapers for her two kids. We went to pick them up on Friday night. Her two kids were excited and they remembered my girl's name. How sweet! I find this is the good opportunity for them to gather and play together as I labelled them "Do Re Mi".....they are just one year apart from each other, San Ern turning three, San Hui turning two and Kye Xin turning one, by end of this year. Saturday, they all woke up pretty late, my girl slept till 10am. I cooked lunch, we settled with the kids and off we went out. Before we go over to Midvalley, we stopped by Phaik Har's house to visit her and newborn. It is also a gathering for me and friends. I couldn't remember when was the last time we met. Seems like months ago. And this round, we get to see all babies, 4 of them. Yeen Leng's baby, Sue Lee's baby, Phaik Har's baby and mine baby too. 2 boys and 2 gals. I heard they were discussing previously on how to matchmake them. Very funny! At the end of the day, we enjoyed the session together. After an hour, we greeted goodbye and go off straight to Midvalley. Hmm, we need to pay the admission fee for the exhibition though, so hubby decided not to join us in. It was disappointing in fact, as the toys they meant are not the one we expected. I felt it is the adult's toy and none of the booth sells toys for babies. Except for one tiny little stall where sis bought the Cat ABC Puzzle. However, the exhibition hall next to it seems interesting. It was the Health and Nutrition event. There were alot of booth inside, namely Nestle, Gardenia, Daisy, Vitagen, Yakult and many more. There were also health check offerred. We get to drink Milo, Yakult, Dutch Lady and took bread samples. It is even better and best of all, the kids and my baby get to eat the bread. After the event, we went to buy diapers and milk powder. Highlights of the day, sis found a stall selling shoes, and she bought three pairs for her kids and my girl. Now, they have something in common, except they are in different sizes. We settled for a bigger size for my girl. She has big foot, and we do not know when she can wear them. Thanks Sis!
On Sunday, we stayed at home. I went out for my facial. Hubby cooked red bean and steamed tofu, I boiled watercress soup with red dates for lunch. Sis was not feeling well like I did. We had a two hours nap together with the three musketeers. Guess they felt tired too. For dinner, I fried maggi mee. The kids and baby ate the porridge. It was raining by the time we sent them home. Hmmm, a good weeekend I find. To my surprise, my girl started responding to them compared to the previous time they were here. I felt she wanted to go down to the floor to join them running and walking here and there. She shouted each time the kids talk. After they went back, she seriously sleep alot. Even on Monday, nanny was commenting that she slept the whole day. She must be tired entertaining herself with the kids.

Ma Ma Ma Ma
10 July, in the evening, all of the sudden, she calls out Ma Ma. And she kept calling them the whole night. My oh my, she is calling me. I can be sure this time that she is calling me. And do you know what hubby's respond is? He said, why didn't you call papa first? Hahahahahaha, I just said, don't get jealous. Angel is loving me more than she loves you. How bad! On the next day, she also call out loud. And another word she learnt was mum mum. She will say that when she is hungry and she saw the milk I prepared.
She throws, She beats
Angel is definately growing and developing day by day. Everyday we would discover that she learnt a new skill. On Sunday, she took the ball and throw real hard on the floor. She would then crawl to take the ball and start throwing again. Then on Monday, when I went to nanny's house to fetch her, nanny said she beat her in the afternoon especially if she is slow in feeding her with porridge. We went back home that night, and she did the same to me as well. Each time she beats, she will laugh out loud. As if she enjoys doing that. And now if we say, "Give me Five", she will raise up her hand and touches my palm.
Expensive gadget for Angel
5 July, Just before Angel turns 8 months old, we have a surprise for her. We decided to buy her the Bumbo Seat with Tray. I have been thinking and thinking for months to get her this as it is costly I think. The original price of this seat with tray is RM 249.90. But I managed to purchase it online with the price of RM 179.90 from www.littlewhiz.com. And I also bought Leg Huggers of RM 34.20 to make it up to RM 200.00 to qualify for free delivery. This leg huggers is cool, it is designed to protect babies while they are crawling, climbing, running or dancing. Hopefully Angel would love these!
Beba.....
3 July, Saturday. In the morning, we went out to the wet market and bought groceries for the week. Angel was there with us, and we had breakfast there. Hubby bought bread for her and she ate with joy. Angel was corresponding with the aunty in the market, she will say "Er er er" when she asked her questions. So funny to hear that. Then I cooked lunch and we started to clean up the house while she was taking her nap. Later s we were spending time together playing with her, all of the sudden, she said the word "Beba.." We were stunned. Hubby then asked,"Is she calling me?" I said, "No, you are dreaming." Hahahahaha, how bad of me. Somehow it resembles like calling the word papa. Angel's face looked funny, wondering what we were talking about. Ever since then, I kept saying to her, Beba....Beba...and she will smile!
She sits, she crawls, she stands
Just before Angel turns 8 months, she did all three at a time, Sit, Crawl, Stand. 11 June, she sit up straight. Every night, she would sit next to me and played with her toy and teether. By then she also knew how to crawl, except that it is the swimming position. 26 June, she started to crawl and she is able to stand. She will hold on the cot rail and stand up. She wasn't that steady to crawl yet, but it was amazing to see her developing day by day. She will grab on the chair or anything solid and stand up. This is the time that either me and Hubby had to give full attention to her. Hubby took the initiative to clean up the living hall, emptied the area and clean the floor. This is to ensure that the germs are not everywhere. I felt perhaps due to the diarrhea she had last month, Hubby is now more careful and practise hygiene concept. Good news, he is loving our family more and more each day. I had taken photos of her sitting, standing, crawling for the few days. Here are some to share.
She fell from my bed!
27 June, Sunday morning, hubby went to the market and off to office to work. I was bathing her, changed her into her clothes and I put her on my bed. I was just about to place her mat on my shower rack when she fell off my bed. I quickly carried her up and rub her head. She cried out loud but it ended the minute I carried her. I was so sorry and kept apologizing to her. I shouldn't have leave her alone even only for a few seconds. My next reaction was to call my husband. He was still in the market and he drove back immediately. He scolded me for being careless, I couldn't care less as I was the one to be blamed and I wanted to ensure that she is all right. I spent the rest of the day with her. Come evening, hubby came back, and as I marched in the toilet for my bath, I heard her crying again. She was standing in her cot and she fell. Her eyes hit on the cot and there's a slight bruise near to the eye area. This round, hubby is the one to be blamed. Luckily she is all right, she did not cry long either. I reminded Angel to be careful next time....and I hope she understands!
Technip Sports Day - 26 June 2010
This is the second time I went to my company's Sports Day. I did not participate in any event, I just registered my name, get the freebies and be the spectator of the event. Hahahaha...and this round, I went with hubby and of course my little Angel. The venue is at Uniten, Bangi and the registration closed at 7.30am. Imagine how early I had to wake up. As usual, I informed Angel about the event and the time. She seemed to know and understand. She woke up right at 6.45am, drank her milk and looked very active. But the minute she went into the car, hahahaha, she slept the whole journey till Bangi. Boy oh boy, we went out the wrong highway exit, and we had to make a U-turn. Luckily I reached just in time to register.
I do not know why, but she seemed not to like anyone else to carry her other than me! Perhaps she grows to recognise people, even she didn't like her daddy to carry. A few of my colleagues took their turn to carry and entertain her, but the session lasted only for about 5-10 mins.
We watched the opening ceremony, the track and field, swimming and badminton matches.
I felt this is more of like a family day for me. And I felt if this is on next year, I will bring her to the event again.

Toy Story 3 Sunday
We went out on Sunday to Midvalley. Angel’s diarrhea wasn’t well completely, but it was much better than Saturday. There were a few times she passed out, but it was a bit and bit only. The idea to go there is to use up Metrojaya vouchers Mum gave me when she was here. I decided to use the vouchers to buy Angel’s necessities. I also bought drinking bottle for Angel, as I stopped using Avent bottle for water drinking. I used it only for milk and bought a cheaper one for water.
What’s attractive in Midvalley was the set up of Toy Story 3 stage at the Centre Court, with mascot Buzz and Woody (if I remembered correctly) to pose and take photos with the public. And with the purchase of the i-Talk card of RM10, we were given a free photoshoot and a print out for us to keep. I grabbed this opportunity as we seldom take family photo. Luckily hubby also took out his camera, there were simply too many photos he took……
The one taken by the photographer is not too bad. I am very satisfied and aimed to scan it and upload into my blog here. Wait and you’ll see, the proud Chew family!
