Top 10 Ways to Live in Malaysia

In Malaysia...

1) Hit & run.  When your vehicle being hit from behind, just drive straight to police station.  Or else, get robbed.

2) Drive blindly.  Do not get off your vehicle to remove flyers caught on windscreen despite of it blocking your view.  Just drive blindly.  Either way, you die.  Get killed in accident or get killed being robbed.

3) Carry your Prada/LV in paper bags.  Better still, keep them in cupboards at home.  Use only plastic bags for your $$$. Or else, get robbed.

4) Eat in.  Dine at home preferably.  Or else, get robbed.  There were increasing cases of restaurants being robbed.

5) No holidaying at beautiful secluded islands of Sabah.  Or else, get kidnapped & robbed.  Sipadan case.

6) Drag your laptop everywhere you go.  No hiding it even in car boot.

7) No talking on mobile by the road.  Or you will be talking to thin air within moments when the mobile being snatched.

8) At petrol station, get off car, open petrol cap, lock car, filled petrol, unlock car.  Or else, get robbed.

9) Keep your new flashy car wrapped up in plastic sheets at home.  Just keep driving that old junk of 10, 20 or 30 years preferably. Less conspicuous.

10) Just drape in curtains or your kakak's clothes when going out.  Don't look presentable and best if you look like a beggar.  Sure safe.

Conclusion, no dining out, no holidaying, no branded handbags, no new clothes.  Oh dear... we are going to get richer and richer.  How would these parasites handles it?  :p

I am sore cause I was robbed yesterday at a traffic light on my way home from the immigration.  A bike knocked into my left side mirror to distract and another bike with a pillion rider smashed my driver's side window, grabbed my bag which was well hidden between me and the door.  They got my bag.  All it took was just 2 seconds.  

Location: Traffic light in front of Tropicana Club

Ladies, apparently it is not safe even between the door.  

Baby G with Popo, Daddi & Mommi!

One fine weekend, after bath (Baby G), we decided to camwhore with the baby.  Here is Baby G with popo.

Baby G with daddi.

 Baby G with mommi!  Check out his 'Astro Boy' hairstyle!  Hehehehe

Men in Tutus rock!

Went for 'Men In Tutus' last Thursday with a girlfriend and it was disgustingly fantastic.  'Disgustingly' cause imagine 'men' in tutus!  Hehehehe.... They were all real awesome dancer though.  Had so much laughters enjoying the show.  A good change to pumping milk, feeding & changing diapers for the last one month.  Hehehehe...

If you have yet to catch them, they will be performing until 23rd June 2013.  Check out www.gardnerandwife.com.  Hope you guys enjoy it as much as I did.

Baby G's Fullmoon

29th May 2013 marked Baby G's Fullmoon, also, the end of my confinement.  'Confinement' where a new mother supposed to be confined at home, no shower, no washing hair, no aircond, no contact with water basically, plenty of rest.  I, on the other hand, has been going out (hospital/buy stuff/movies & etc), showered, washed hair, aircond, taking care of Baby G & doing minor houseworks.  Come on... no shower in our super hot weather?  You must be kidding me! I felt like a dump by day 3 without shower.    By day 30, I probably grow mouldy.

So, fullmoon, marked Baby G's one month old!  Instead of a fullmoon feast for family & friends, we decided to distribute cakes instead.  Just don't feel comfortable for him to meet so many people when he has yet to complete his vaccinations.  

I've also designed a birth announcement card & got it printed to go with the gift boxes.  Love how it turned out to be.  Took the photo focusing on his feet instead of his face.  You see, I've received birth announcement card with baby picture and I always have the dilemma of whether to keep or to throw it out.  To keep, I don't feel connected with somebody else's baby.  To throw it out, I feel bad cause the face is so cute.  That's why I decided to focus on the feet instead and blurred out the face.  This will save other's the dilemma I experienced.  Lols....

We ordered a total of 118 cakes gift packs (coincidentally an auspicious number!) of 4 different varieties from.  Other than the mandatory red eggs & ang ku (symbolic meaning of good fortune), some come with swissrolls, some almond cakes, some 'wife' biscuit and some, honey cakes.  Just wanted varieties for our colleagues so they can share among themselves.

Like our wedding cakes 5 years ago, these baby fullmoon packs too were from Yong Sheng.  Always love their products.  Not only yummy but also presentable!  Oh yeah, and it was fuss free ordering too.  Just call them, place your order, remit the payment and wait for delivery to your doorstep (for order above RM1k).  Easy right?

Anyway, besides the end of my confinement period & baby G's fullmoon, it also marked on month has come and gone and I've left two months before starting work again.  Oh gosh, time flies even faster now!  

How to get back to work with a cute face like that?

Coming Soon & Bundle's Arrival

The husband suggested the other day to shoot a similar photo taken when I was 36 weeks pregnant but this time round, Baby G will replaced my big round tummy instead. Thought it turned out rather well despite the fact that Baby G was all red from his fussy & crankiness.  He was half asleep when we stripped him for the shot.  Hehehehe...

Motherhood

It is day 22 with the little one. With the new addition, my life sort of felt completed. Or rather, he completes me. At 35, I guessed I have more or less gained all life experiences I needed to at this stage and being a mommi came just about the right time. Believe me, it's kinda fun despite of the sleep deprivation.

Of course there are times when the little one got all cranky & screaming, but as time goes, I've sort of decipher the many types of cries – the 'feed me' cry, the 'change my diaper' cry or simply 'I need attention' cry, thus making things much easier. 

The husband & my mom has been of great help. Taking over whenever things gets a little out of hand or when I am in need of beauty sleep. 'Beauty Sleep'? Let me rephrase that. At this stage, it should be more aptly put as 'survival sleep'. Lols...

Anyway, everything at home now revolves around the little one. Each and everyone of us can just spent the whole day marveling at the bundle and nothing else. Even Rumba too. The little one is so filled with love.

Introducing Baby G

This year's Mother's Day bring a whole new meaning to me.  With the arrival of our little bundle of joy, for the first time, I am too, entitled to be part of the celebration.  But then again, I am still so excited with my bundle and couldn't care much about the day.  Lol... Well, he is simply too freaking adorable & perfect.  The new daddy & mommi, as well as new grandma just couldn't get enough of him.  

Our son, Gabbriel (Baby G) born on the 38 weeks of my pregnancy, on 30th April weigh 2.68kg.  A tiny little fella but good size.

For this first Mother's Day, I just wished for him to grow up filled with lots of love, happiness & kindness.
