Nap time
The lil mischief refusing his nap and insisting on me carrying him. Look at where his pair of legs are dangling from. Looks like its high time to source for a bed.

Salmon Cheese Mushroom Baked Rice
It has always been a big headache getting the lil boy to eat his meal. He is like hamster which means he would pocket all his food in his mouth and it could be as torturing as 30 mins not getting anything in. But last night dinner was a breeze. He finished every single grain of it quickly. Guess I should be more hardworking and work more on his recipe since I guess he is beginning to get really sick of the usual porridge meals.
Salmon Cheese Mushroom Baked Rice Recipe
Ingredients:
Brown Button Mushroom (chopped them up into fine pieces)
Salmon x 3 small piece (toddler's share)
Cheese (any brand will do but I used parmese cheese which is available in my fridge)
Rice 1/4 cup
Unsalted Butter
Nan Pro 3 milk powder 40 mls
(No salt is needed since I think the butter and cheese contain sodium and tasted strong enough)
1) Cooked the rice like you usually do.
2) Heat up the unsalted butter in the pan and fry the mushroom. Then put in the salmon to pan-fry for a min and put aside.
3) Heat up the butter again and fry the cooked rice in the pan to give it a fragrance taste.
4) Lay the fried rice in the aluminium container and placed the salmon and mushroom on top.
5) Shred the cheese if you are using a whole piece and placed it on top.
6) Pour in the milk evenly on the rice.
7) Preheat the oven to 180 degrees and placed it in to bake for 10-15 mins.
And you will have a healthy and nutritious baked rice for your junior !

TOYs TOYs TOYs !
Grocery Shopping !
Daddy scolded me for buying such a girly toy for him. But it teaches him activities of daily living. I find it quite educational and most importantly, he enjoys playing it !
Rock Star in the making.
This was totally unexpected as I bought it because its cheap but when Daddy asked me why did I get this for lil boy ? I told him because he can start practising how to Lang Sai and can earn some money during CNY next time. Haha
Toy Fair at Taka - Our Loots
Fortunately Daddy is on mc today and he is so sweet to offer to drive us down even though he is not feeling well. Glad that he came along or else the taxi driver will faint at the sight of my loots !

Karihome Sweeties
Saw this at NTUC yesterday when I was doing my grocery shopping. Was amazed by the vitamins it had , however the price do puts me off a little. But still bought it eventually as lil boy wasn't a big fan of milk so I guess its a good supplement for daily calcium intake.
Anyway he loves it !
And the instruction says take 3-10 pieces a time. I was still wondering can he finish it in a month's time since it can only last for a month once open to ensure its freshness.
But I think if this carries on, I need to replenish the stock next week.

Nan Pro 3 Formula
There is a change in the manufacturing country and we were not informed !
See article.
Now I suspect his bloatedness is related to the foaming from the milk powder. Hubby and I are scouting out for new milk powder for the lil boy after he had finished this batch.

The journey begins again
People whom had known me since my secondary school years should know that I had been a plump girl ever since I am a teenager. I blame it on my lifestyle and also genetic factors for my built.
But before my big day around 2006 November, I decided I needed to look good on my big day. So I started on a long journey of dieting.

·But before my big day around 2006 November, I decided I needed to look good on my big day. So I started on a long journey of dieting.
From this:
Transforming :
And this was the slimmest time of my life:
And I could not gone beyond this.
But I told myself my aim is to be healthy and not super model so actually I am quite satisfied with my result.
However after childbirth, I had transformed myself back into this:
again.
Sigh...
Hence I decided to embark on another journey again though this time is going to be even tougher as I do not have my big day as a motivation. And sticking on strictly to my previous dieting regime is a killer for me now as I cannot be too extreme since I need energy to deal with my naughty toddler too. Hence I decided to exercise more and eat lesser (as in to start with less carbs) . Hopefully can see tiny weeny bit of results in two months time to give me motivation to carry on.
I want to post another set of recent dieting journey pics at the end of this year.

Mickey Mouse Clubhouse HOT DOG Dance
The lil boy's favourite dance
Lil things that make my day
I have to admit the lil rascal does drive me crazy nowadays ever since he finished his school term. But it is a joy seeing his lil actions when he is playing with himself or with us.
Pretend Play:
Nowadays he likes to imitate me feeding him and would put his lil finger in my mouth pretending to feed me. So Mummy just played along with him and tell him his finger is delicious and he would smile and continue feeding me. He loves to try feeding himself too though most of the time with my assistance as I am not prepared to clear up the aftermath from his meals.
Hugging and Kissing:
He had learnt hugging and kissing lately. Most probably from me as I enjoyed hugging and kissing him in bed at least 10-15 mins every morning we wake up. So one evening , when we were watching TV, he walked over to me , hugged my head and starting to kiss me all over my face. Daddy saw this and came over to him and said can you kiss Daddy too ? He pushed his Daddy away and continued kissing my head til I told him Mummy surrender ! haha. As I am having a flooded face with saliva all over me. Daddy told me he was jealous. :p
Though my life is now as simple as can be, but these are the lil things that make my day and making my memories of a SAHM simple yet fulfilling. :)

Vitagen Less Sugar
The previous visit to the PD, he suggested introducing probiotics to the lil boy. I did think of introducing vitagen to the lil boy earlier but because he had not mastered the skill of drinking with a straw at that time, I started him on Yogurt instead.
Ever since he started mastering the art of drinking from a straw, I been wanting to introduce Vitagen to him much to the horror of my mother in law. (According to her, eating Yogurt and Vitagen will cause cough to lil ones and also they would not put on weight due to the probiotics.) One of the benefit of being a SAHM is you can decide on the meal plans of your lil one. This post is not about bitching behind MIL but I do agree with her point too hence I try to introduce probiotics to him every other day.
His expression tells it all.
He enjoys it so much that nowadays we got to hide in the kitchen to finish up our Vitagen as he would make a din at the sight of it.

Lunch today !
Alpha Pasta with French Beans and Minced Meat.
Creamy Cheese Sauce as the topping.
Mummy is trying very hard to introduce french beans to him. But the naughty boy only finished the creamy cheese sauce and pasta. For french beans, they had an affair with the floor after his meal. :(

Taiwan 2010
Finally it has been confirmed ! Hubby is bringing me far far away this November :)
We are going to Taiwan ! Although the initial plan was to go Hong Kong for a short and budget trip. But Hubby decided to pamper ourselves since we had been good parents and had not travelled for 3 years already. (My last far far away trip was our Honeymoon trip to Japan.)
After we booked the package, he was abit worried and asked me " Are you unhappy that we are going Taiwan since we were actually planning for Hong Kong? " I was dumbfounded. How sweet was he ! I told him " Of course not ! I am already on cloud 9 when you promise to bring me out of SG. Anywhere in the world is fine with me (except india or blangadesh lah) ! "
But we decided to be bad parents and leave our boy to my in laws. Hubby is reluctant to bring him overseas at such a tender age. So sorry baby. Mummy will compensate you by doing more shopping on your behalf. (Fortunately my old man don't read my blog, or else he would go and cancel the package after reading this paragraph.)
Hee.

Durian Phobia
We tried introducing the King of Fruits to our lil boy last week. On the two occasion, the lil boy ran away at the smell of it. And I tried to let him taste it, he puke at the taste of it.
MIL commented that he might have Durian Phobia when he grew older since some of my nephews who refuse to try Durian when they were younger hates Durian when they grew up.
This spells like a bad news to Daddy and Mummy as both of us are avid Durian Lovers.
Guess we had to squat in the toilet to enjoy the King of Fruits next time.

Close Shave !
We had a bad scare tonight.
Our lil boy was walking around after dinner and suddenly he fell flat on the floor. Daddy picked him up and he was oozing from his mouth. Daddy panicked and kept scolding the lil boy- saying why u keeping running never listen to daddy and etc. My silly old man.. how would a 16 month old understand and he was already screaming in tears , how could he possibly hear him ?
*shakes head*.
*shakes head*.
Even though I was a nurse, but seeing him in blood got me panicky too. Quickly applied direct pressure and checked the cut. Fortunately was not deep and bleeding stopped after sometime. Old man still ranting away, got me fed up and asked him to shut up. Sometimes men can be more naggy than women.
What a close shave...
Really cannot let our eye off the kids now even for a second.

Growing Up
I actually teared while scrolling through my iphone and watching these little video clips..He is really growing up...
From a crawling baby, to a smiley toddler..
To a Mambo Prince...
Time really flies past fast, I didn't realise my boy is already a 16 month old.
To me, he is forever a newborn.
Darling, in mummy's heart no matter how old you are, you are always my baby.

我们都曾有过一次幸福的机会
一次幸福的机会
歌手：刘若英
在那麽有限的生命中
能被所爱的人深深爱过
或许不该再奢求再怨什么
世上的遗憾本来就很多
在艰难的说了再见后
你真的不该再紧紧抱我
刚才还能体谅的放开你的手
不代表我就够坚强洒脱
我们曾有过一次幸福的机会
当玫瑰和诺言还没枯萎
别说抱歉我不后悔
曾经逆风和你一起飞
我们曾有过一次幸福的机会
似乎要拥有了爱的完美
你说别哭我说不哭
然后我们都留下了眼泪
在艰难的说了再见后
你真的不该再紧紧抱我
刚才还能体谅的放开你的手
不代表我就够坚强洒脱
我们曾有过一次幸福的机会
当玫瑰和诺言还没枯萎
别说抱歉我不后悔
曾经逆风和你一起飞
我们曾有过一次幸福的机会
似乎要拥有了爱的完美
你说别哭我说不哭
然后我们都留下了眼泪
我们曾有过一次幸福的机会
当玫瑰和诺言还没枯萎
别说抱歉我不后悔
曾经逆风和你一起飞
我们曾有过一次幸福的机会
似乎要拥有了爱的完美
你说别哭我说不哭
然后我们都留下了眼泪
你说别哭我说不哭
然后我们都留下了眼泪
