Blueberry Muffins

Because of the success of my previous batch of Blueberry and Cheese Muffins, and also to maximise the blueberries I had bought, I baked another batch of Blueberry Muffins today (w/o the cheese cubes). Ohhhh If I may say so, they are warm, moist and melt-in-d-mouth. :D~ Dr Ravi will get some tomorrow. hahahaa He's gonna complain again that I have made him FAT.

After tuition, and after I passed Shireen the box of 4 muffins, Hayden polished off one in the car and within minutes, apparently reported, 3 were 'gone'. ahhaha.

Eumora "miracle" soap

Today, the taitai in me invested in something apparently not short of a 'miracle'. It's a kind of soap called Eumora which is said to cure (instantaneously) many skin problems like acne, pimples, open pores, freckles, pigmentation, stretch marks, wrinkles, sagging skin, water retention etc etc etc.

One miserable piece of 25g (the size that hotels pack for their guests) will cost somewhere between RM80 to Rm95. Shireen highly recommended this miracle product to me and apparently her husband and her are using it now. She bought it at Mount Kiara open air market. hahhaah. We purchased a box of 4 x 25g together and paid RM175 each. According to the write-up, it's supposed to take over your cleanser, toner and moisturizer as well. To be used once a day. I must hide it from the husband who uses soap like how a coolie in the older days would use those Panda brand soaps and smear all over their bodies after a week of labouring (I am assuming they bathed once a week?).

hehhee.. Will post updates on whether my many skin problems have vanished...

Cocktail

I've just finished watching Cocktail, an ancient show starring the very young and hunky Tom Cruise as a bartender. ahahahaa. Had tuition with Hayden today and yesterday to earn the miserable ringgit.

Alan won't be home till late tonight. He has to pick up his CEO and entertain him - does a massage beckon after dinner? :P

Our Weekend

It is nearing the end of a weekend and I've just downed a bowl of birdsnest and now have an intensive hydrating masque on my face. Waiting for Alan to get showered and then we can continue watching DIE (a HK DVD serial).

17 October 2009 Saturday

We gave in to Mr Slumber and decided last minute NOT to go for extra classes with Mdm Yap for Coco- in lieu of his coming examination. So we slept in till around 10+am.

After a chocolate muffin and a piece of kuay lapis each for breakfast, Alan and I stoned around the house and watched DVD before taking a shower and leaving for The Gardens. We had a late lunch at 2+pm of Tony Roma's. I had 1/2 a bbq chicken (with mashed potatos and fresh veges) and Alan had lamb chops (with fries and a baked potato). To wash everything down, we shared what tasted like a Vanilla Sunrise.

Then, we hurried over to La Mode for our hair cut. We were late for our 3pm appointment and poor Bill had to hurry through because we were in a rush to catch our movie. I got a relaxing wash and massage and snipped off most of my locks (in preparation of Ethan's delivery and my lack of opportunities to soak myself in the shower).

The movie, Whiteout, had already started when I tumbled into the cinema at The Gardens. For the next 1+ hr, we were immersed in it and the whiteness.

Next, it was time to shop again at Isetan. Alan bought himself two pairs of business shoes (AGAIN) and then we wandered around in search of MORE stuff to buy. But there wasn't anything that caught my eye.

Whilst Alan was in Ace Hardware, I went into JUSCO and Carrerfour to see if there were any cupboards and such to buy for the house. After a while, I was exhausted. The big belly doesn't do my shopping feats (or feet) any good, I must admit. I can't wait to get rid of the extra weight :P

I dragged my aching feet back to The Gardens and told Alan to meet me at the Japanese restaurant (Sushi-Zen) at the basement. We both had a big bowl of noodles each and then left for home finally. What an exhausting day!

Sunday 18 October 2009

We dragged ourselves outta bed and into the shower to prepare for Coco's class from 930-1030. Jay Jay was his usual disobedient self but Coco was pretty well-behaved :) Good Job darl! :D

After the lesson, we had a healthy brunch at the Ipoh Yong Tou Fu stall in Kuchai Lama whilst waiting for Dogroomz to be opened. In the meanwhile, Jay Jay and Coco entertained 1 fatty boy, 1 screaming toddler and 1 very bored looking waiter. haahha

After leaving the dogs in the good hands of Liz and Ting, we left at around noon to head for home. After showering and relaxing, we pursued DIE for a couple of episodes until my eyelids couldn't take the strain and I begged to return to slumber whilst Alan graciously agreed (and started painted yet another body of his R/c car) :P

I woke, an hour later, and the husband still refused to relinquish his compressor / paint brushes.
At ard 530pm, we went to the Pasar Malum (and dropped En off at TMC to pick up groceries) to buy our usual load of food to last us the week.

Insistent on eating as much fish as possible for Ethan's sick, we picked up Rm109 worth of Salmon and cod fish (and a plate of prawns) and then headed to buy some fruits (3 juicy peaches, 1 australian nectarine, a packet of grapes and some apples and oranges) and then spent another RM44 at the vegetable stall.

We bought En her dinner at the market and then picked her up and dumped all the barang at home. Then, Alan and I went to have dinner near Dogroomz (pork tendons claypot AGAIN, fried tunghoon and a plate of vege) and then fetch the two little doggies home.

Isetan Anniversary Sale

Yay. The husband is home (ok actually he has been home since 00:00 on Friday morning) from Singapore / Jakarta. So it's time to S-H-O-P! Isetan @ The Gardens is still having it's sale and so we will be hopping over later on to grab more bargains. YaY.

On our previous stopover there, we had already bought two pairs of Crocs (one for Alan and one for me), Alan's Raoul shit and Alan's business shoes (that broke within a few hours of wear). Now I think I wanna hit the Women's department and also check out what other baby stuff I will need to buy.

I love SALES. :D

A new weight gain plan..

Ok folks, It's NOT that I'm NOT fat enough.. but my son isn't so what to do?

I've been eating small meals but more frequently. Today's breakfast was two slices of bread with ham and cheese and a cup of milk. A few hours later, lunch was a big plate of fried rice. Then a couple of hours later, I had tea break, consisting of a cup of milo, a piece of prune kuay lapis and a small bowl of leftover sweet potato soup. And then for dinner , I had a big plate of Aglio Olio with prawns and chicken bits and bacon. Now I am having some fruits and later on I will eat a bowl of red bean soup and have a tall glass of soya bean milk.

BURPS. Now I am indulging in afternoon naps as well. Just in case it was the lack of rest that has made Ethan 'go on diet'. Ethan BETTER put on weight if not I pengsan...

Ethan's Barang Barang

This morning, yet ANOTHER package came for Mr Ethan Tan. It was in a huge box. Doesn't it feel like X'mas, Ethan???I had recently purchased (and of course Alan paid) online the Medela Breast Milk Pump for RM799. In this particular website http://www.enjoybreast.com/ , this purchase came with a free cash voucher and also free shipping! Woweeee.

I made use of the voucher to purchase the much needed nursing pillow and also some cream and BM shells (which Yvonne said are useful) and lastly, some bra extensions. All in all, the purchases came up to be only RM799.50! YaY

Ethan/ Aaron (if I give birth to him on 26/10, which is Aaron Kwok's birthday :P) 's has a whole cupboard full of barang barang! I am waiting for the wall in his room to dry out (from the leakage) and then get someone in to repaint it. N then, the fun part begins -

We have bought wall stickers (of little cutey insects) and some posters (those baby learning aids and also those of cute baby models) and those colourful floor paddings which can all be whipped out (once the paint dries) to decorate the Baby Nursery.

Then, the fellas can return to install the baby cot and we will be able to unwrap and install the changing table (which had been bought a couple of months ago) and wash the bedsheets / etc to prepare for Ethan's arrival.

The confinement lady (a 40-50year old lady from Muar) will sleep with Ethan and her sleeping quarters will also be prepared (I hope she can sleep in airconditioned comfort - because Ethan's room has NO FAN!!)

Wish me LUCK people! :D I shall probably start a new blog for Ethan-Aaron when he is

out!
