At least we can go to sleep earlier than what we used to. Recently, we've been inundated with sports telecast until the wee hour in the morning that we left the television on overnight.Wimbledon. We stacked up munchies. It usually started around 10-11pm. If my favourite player was playing, I stayed up until the match was finished. The women's single finals was swift. But men, the men's was not. It was going on like foreever. Every set had a tie-breaker plus the rain. I finally went to sleep past 6am.Golf. I think it was the French Open (not in...

Real Spa For Mums
This is a fun meme from Arlene. Thanks, sis.I don't visit spa. I can't remember if I ever did. :) Maybe once or twice. I'm not sure at all. Anyway, this indeed is a real spa.Brow-threading. Whew! I haven't done this yet.. but I'm sure I will... soon. :) Aroma therapy. Always. I'm actually a sniffer. Microdermabrasion. I can't remember if this has happened yet. But it is too soon to say it won't. Hehehe. Body-wrap. Always got this....

Day Out
We went out to do some errand today to a place closer to Brisbane. We didn't catch the train because the plan was a bit far from the station. Instead we drove. And I'm happy that we did because it was hassle free. It didn't take us an hour to get there amidst the morning peak traffic in some part of the road - especially at the end of the motorway. The Tatapilla had been very good. He was whingy on the way - he was just hungry so I gave him bickie. I left him and his dad while I went to do my thing. It took me almost two hours. Mcj said, they went...

Dad's Complaint
He's really fat. As if that just happens overnight. :)And he's blaming me for it. That I serve snacks in between meals especially in the afternoon. I do really and they were heavy meals but I am used to it.Well, he's not counting his big dinner and the lots of munchies that he has at night while wathing telly. They were all sweets and he eats them even until early morning. Plus, he doesn't have a real workout.Oh well, we've agreed that I won't serve out snacks for him anymore. We'll just polish off what's left in the freezer that he particularly...
Fussy Eater Lately
A fellow blogger commented when she learned that the Tatapilla was teething that, at least he didn't lost weight. Well because he practically eats anything. Plus he is still on mooo-cow diet. If you know what I mean.But lately, it got me worried a wee bit because he's fussy with his food. It might be because I introduced new flavours? Or was it because he was still full during meal time? He has munchies and moo-cows in between meals. Or because he wants to play during eating time? Or is it because he doesn't want me to buy Phentermine without prescription...
A Bolster
The Tatapilla might be young to display such behavior but I reckon he's already a "bolster". From what I read, kids who try to ran away from their guardian the moment they were let loose were called that. It's not because they want to scare the wits out of you. It's just their way of showing independence. Well, my boy exactly does that at times. During nappy change, he would crawl as fast as he could away from me with a rudy bum. He has this look of "run after me Mum". And he is laughing, not minding where is he going. Just away from me....
Musings of a Mum
My Little Boy had just turned one. Time flies so quick that everything happened in a blurr, but of course I certainly can remember the day and the previous when I delivered him into this world.Now, Jens is really a toddler and a very handful one. Do you know that he throws tantrums when he wants something and I am exercising my will not to give in to him? Just like when he's eating. Whenever he sees his water cup, he wants it even if he's not thirsty. He would just play with it - splash the water all over the place. And of course drink some. I...

Big One
... for the Tatapilla. He is now a certified Big Guy. He was allowed to mess with his cake and party - that is sleep late.Instead of throwing a party for him, for some reasons we decided to visit the zoo yesterday and have a quite birthday celebration with his Nanny and Poppy. He may have missed having a party with friends but I wouldn't trade what we had yesterday and today for any great party in the world. We chose to celebrate this way, for his...

Just A Thought
Did you know that here in down under, employees that wear company's uniform are given "laundry" allowance? It isn't much, but it helps. Really. I guess that's mainly the reason why businesses that do company logo shirts are big here.***** Just want to share the Tatapilla's most recent photo with his new beanie - courtesy of his Nanna. Doesn't he look pretty with it? It reminds me of the series, The Little House on the Prairie. Have to say goodnight...
Just Another Thing That We Don't Need
I just said wireless router and Mcj said, we're supposed to get that for Bubby's room. Well, it will actually be for Mummy - so she can still surf even while baby sitting the little boy in the room.That's one thing that he wants but for me just another expense that we don't really need. I would love to have a connection in the room but with the little boy's cleverness, I could still not use the computer while he's awake as he would want to use (read: touch) it himself. I am not pushing for that so with so much things that Mcj is thinking about,...
New Trike
This is the Tatapilla's new trike. It's his 1st birthday gift from us - advanced that is. He has yet to grown his legs so he can use the pedal. Yet he's enjoyed this already. Well, Mummy has to push it around of course. I reckon, this is a best buy though we didn't bought it from www.buy.com (where you can get the best buy). Why? Because he can enjoy this for another year or two. Plus, instead of using the pram when going to our playgroup or to...

Another Habit
The Tatapilla is in the process of growing out of a habit that I don't really like. Picking up stuff on the floor/ground and putting it in his mouth (including pens like marketing pens).Today, I took him out the backyard while I was putting our washing on the line with his bike and trike. In all the time that we were out, he only munched on a leaf once. That's good sign for me considering that he was playing with leaves all the time, putting them...

Baby Bear
We've been shopping for clothes recently and we (particularly I) found a good place to shop.We were supposed to go to the direct factory outlet to check if the prices of things are cheaper than in the local shops. Mcj instead brought me to the original DFO. And the prices were much lower - and they are branded clothes. Problem was it's too hard to find clothes that fit me perfectly - not that they are just stocking up plus size clothing. I just don't...

I Blamed The Yogurt
The Tatapilla had his first ever illness. Cold.He'd been sneezing quite a lot last week and was fussy with his food (no need of diet pills). I thought it was in the food or he might just be teething again. But one thing notable was he love drinking water.He had a big sleep last Sunday afternoon. I gave him yogurt when he woke up. Then, he had a runny nose. I blamed the yoghurt. I thought the runny nose was just a reaction because the yoghurt was chilled.He was his usual self that night - pushed the bike all over the house. He ate his dinner. Nothing...
