Things I am excited about these past weeks.

1. New business
2. New business opportunity that is not the same as number 1. 
3. Blogger in Draft!

I noticed some changes some week ago when i was uploading photos. But those changes dissapeared after one day. Yeah, Blogger.com must be doing some new testings, but i never knew they are at public beta testing stage. Oh the nerd in me is excited. Just what i need at just the right time. 

The big baby
Sigh, the goes all baby self feeding related post. I am too busy with all the three things above plus looking after baby PP being sick (AND Daddylicious! the biggest baby out of them all) and Mummylicious being sick too.

You know people keep saying that "men are babies when they are sick"
.
.
.
It's wrong.
.
.
.
with photo proof that in actuality, it is "men are worse than babies when they are sick".

 It hard taking care of the big baby, the smaller one is a joy even when she is sick :)

"Hmm Mummy, i think you are right. Daddy is a big baby!...but i still can't button myself"

Mummylicious 1st Mother's Day

Today, is the first time I celebrate Mother's Day with a whole new meaning. My little baby girl is 6 months and 28 days old and I am a mother. Sometimes it is still hard to wrap my mind around that fact.
I woke up with Daddylicious coming in the room with a tray. Mind the hair and face. I just woke up :P

"See I told Daddy to give you breakfast in bed"

"I also told Daddy to give me breakfast in bed. See, I got bread too"

"Lets have our breakfast together, Mummy! OOmm Nom Nom Nom"

"Daddy didn't serve napkins. Nvm, Ms Bunny's dress will do. Wiping my own face here"

"I gave Mummy a card! wrote it myself (with Daddy's help of course) and bite at the envelope too! 
"OMG! I made Mummy cry!"

"Mummy still crying. Nom Nom Nom"

"Haiyaaa, so tired. Hm pillow, I can lean my head while i chew and pick my leftover bread"

"Look Ma! I am doing hands free self-feeding!"

And that was baby PP's commentary on Mummylicious's first Mother's Day. 
Yes we both coincidentally wore white to bed. That was not arranged. If it was, my hair and face would looked more presentable for a photoshoot session :p

Then we went off to Bangsar Village for Mother's Day lunch with the mommies! We got a complimentary photo from Delicious and they gave us each a copy! Sayang Aiden was sleeping :(

 Three Mummylicious @ Delicious
Lizzieasamummy (minus sleeping Aiden), Hugzkisseseveryday and Ayesha, Mummylicious and PP.

I am waiting for more photos from Lizzieasamummy. There was Daddyliciousness photo that is definitely for the keeps in the album. 

So how was your mother's day? As simple as mine? Or a big event? However you spent it, I am sure you are with your loved ones, and nothing is more important than that.

Baby made her hallmark trip to IKEA and the office

Yesterday marked PP's second day at the office with Mummylicious. Fortunately there are photos this time as Mummylicious takes measurement for office furnitures! Yippee. Her first trip to the office was on 29th March where office supply makes good rattle and toys. she was busy eating and throwing a securely fasten clear box of keychains. I was alone and then too busy to take photos :(

Of course, no shopping for office furniture is complete without a trip to IKEA for research purposes and thus, marks PP first time in IKEA! 

Well behaved little girl while Mummy was doing measurements.
Play time with Daddy
PP doesn't look sick but we noticed here she was coughing, had a slight fever and a runny nose. 
See previous post

This area is to be PP's office

PP first trip to IKEA!
Mummylicious doing serious thinking

Got bored from being in stroller. Time for leg exercises at the office tables area

Oh goody! First time on slide. 
No reaction. Typical PP.

After hours of looking at office furnitures with a well behaved little girl. PP got a reward!

Our only purchase
IKEA's baby spoons for RM9.90

No IKEA baby room's review :( It was too full. Dang it, never tried the baby room before!

Happy Mummylicious Day to all mothers out there!

Happy Mother's Day to all the Mummylicious of the world. 

Especially to the most delicious Mummylicious ever, G-Na aka my mom and NekWan aka my grand-ma aka PP's great-grandma.

"Mama, I love you"
Heart heart heart heart

Once, or maybe a lot of time, you've told me, 

"You won't know how it is to be a mother, until you become a mother yourself. You won't understand the amount of unconditional love one can give to another, the  pain you have to endure when your child is sick and the happiness when your child is happy. The sacrifices that have been made for them, and for you. You won't understand until you have become a mother". 

I understand that now. I feel it now. For that, I love you even more Mama.

Mummylicious had a very stressed out week


It has been a crazy week. Full hectic behaviour from morning till ermm..morning again. Am not getting enough rest. 

Reason No.1: Mummylicious quest to obtain Chanel involved a lot of headaches with banking technicalities. I said it before, and i say it again and this time Daddylicious finally see the truth as it unfold in front of him every.day.since LAST friday...I AM JINXED when it comes to technologies.

Reason No.2: New business venture. YUP! you hear here first..but what exactly? Hint: Babies :)

As with anything that involves money, takes a lot of initial research. But it will be worth it, if not for the money that will ticccckleee in, it will be for the sake of doing something other than adminstrative work that will begin soon. This whole week and last has been research research research. Today is not much different. Bah!

Reason No.3: Combine all that with PP food supply depleted. And all frozen homemade items gone. Plus its peads visit and a H1N1 scare (to myself and family members). It has been seriously crazy.

Here is a summary of a week of technologies failure. In words of a customer service rep .i am, an isolate case.

I am very popular with RHB, Maybank AND Maxis customer care service people at all hour, day and night, called all of them at least twice, at most 7?10?lost count. I was an "isolated case" for Maybank2U error. Noone had my problem before that  in 24 hours. Given wrong amount to exchange. I was advised to wait then found 3 systems maintance and 1 TT-service opening hours closed at the time i was specifically advised to try again. Maxis asked for info that i did not have, because Maxis blocked it. How am i suppose to give them a number i was expecting, hoping to get?Catch-22. When i did found out, they blocked it instead of unblocking and activating it. LOTS of 24 hours wait. 1-2 hours, 4 hours. As told and advised. Lots of catching minutes. ATMs out-of-service. ATM limited transfer rate. ATM just dont want to give me money using different account./ATM card. Cash deposit machine refused to take my cash. "Rejected notes rejected note"it kept saying. "I AM REJECTING YOU!" i shouted at it as i had at my laptop this whole week. CCTV footage would be funny.

Finally today....my ATM card, malfunctioned.  .... "please contact customer service" it said. Jinxed. I. am.

But nevermind all that! I finally reached home before 6.30pm after depositing cash at 4.40pm into Daddylicious account because MINE was still waiting 24 hours resetting. (Rush hour, Friday, from Ampang to Shah Alam, you figure the stress level to TT by today)...aaanndd getting my Chanel soon! all worth it! all worth it!.....except for the ATM card...bah...

(note: Maybank have the lowest Forex TT rate, for huge amount of exchange, save a lot using Maybank)

So in-between today's need to complete business plan to get capital for new venture, get cash cheque (money stuck in unaccessable bank account so had to borrow from Daahdeee, cash it, take office room measurement for furniture shopping. we noticed PP had a slight fever, VERY runny nose and coughing. 

In lieu of the reemergence of H1N1 in Kuala Lumpur, I was not going to take chances and wait. Even though i knew i had to be at TWO banks before 4 and it was already 2.30, i had to take PP to see the doctor. That is my first and foremost concern. Chanel can wait, PP can't. Not now. Not ever. (..except when she becomes a teenager or nowadays...a tween.)

But thank God the doctor immediately said her fever was too low. For H1N1, the fever would be very high almost immediately. but it could be another flu virus going around that could evoke a higher than usual fever. That we were advised to monitor, if need be, call the doctors mobile immediately.

Poor PP is sleeping uncomfortably. Waking up because she couldn't breathe. And when she can, its a combination of drool and runny nose now. Sigh.

I am bushed. I am tired. but tomorrow. will begin a new reason to be tired

Reason No.4: Office furniture shopping for The Boss aka G-Pa aka PP's grandpa which I will be responsible for. With a sick baby. after Daddylicious entertain clients of a Saturday.
