Pandemic
Current Pandemic matters to me alot, not that Im afraid of death but i do not want to bring harm to my unborn child. Today i just read the star online and saw that one pregnant lady is warded because of the flu. Of all high risk group of person, i do think pregnant lady should be protected more & public should pay more attention to pregnant ladies because it will kill 2 lifes instead of 1.
Mum had just came back from ipoh (she took bus), hence to be on the safe side, i work from home this week to stay with andrea at home. I may be overly concern especially my colleagues thinks I'm paranoid with it. People around me just do not understand or having the same concern that i have, because they are not pregnant or they may not have a young kid. Both medicine for the flu, tamiflu and relenza, both were not tested for pregnant ladies, they do not know if pregnant mothers consume it, will it harm the baby i.e defect or cause death. Thus i really hope no more pregnant mothers will be harm by this virus.

Talkative
Andrea has became very very talkative 1 week ago. Me and hubby exchange smile very often nowadays! We cannot believe our little girl has become so talkative & has very wide vocabulary in her speech too.
1. Talk to neighbours voluntarily, is not a shy girl anymore
scene a - I have hello kitty & snoopy. Mousy is from pangkor island
scene b - My daddy is waiting for me outside
2. Talk to herself non-stop in the car
scene a - must wear sun glasses, it's so bright
scene b - Mr.sun & moon is for your brother
3. Will tell me, hubby & maid about what is going on around her
4. Always ask daddy and mummy if she can do something
scene a - can i go to the swing, slide, see-saw
scene b - can i do my homework
5. Always telling daddy and mummy she wants to go sunway zoo, pangkor island, japan & kinokuniya!
6. Has been very active too, likes to play sliding with daddy using her bedspread. She cannot get enough of it, she will give her hello kitty, snoopy & mousy some rides on her bedspread too! Of course with lots of talking, pretending three of her toys were talking to each other.
She has been talking alot ... really alot ... sometimes i tend to ignore but i remind myself not to do it! She has been watching charlie & lola & reading many books, i do not know if that helps in her vocab. But somehow, many people said no TV for child below 3 or 5 .... It's all depends how dedicated & how much time you have for your child :)

My 28th birthday
On my birthday, it was one day before the eclipse! How bad it is i know.. sigh, that is the reason why we do not have big celebration & im not very happy as well, maybe the eclipse has affected my emotion. I do not know why either.
Early in the morning was all gloomy and dark, many ppl thought it was the day of eclipse! Maybe the universe was just preparing for the eclipse, clean the earth alittle with rain & prepare the human emotion for that yin&yang disappearance. Hubby brought me out to have lunch, we had lobster soup & Tiger prawn! Then we had dinner at my parents place as usual, but we ate mee suah that day & eat the birthday cake for dessert. I've ordered the Caramel Almondine, however it does not taste the same. I'm not really satisfied with my cake this time :( Maybe it's the eclipse! August will be fine i guess..... *smile*

Clothes give away
Andrea has 2 younger cousin sisters, hence me and hubby decided to give away some of andrea's pretty clothes & shoes.
When i was unpacking the 2 big boxes, we really have many pretty shoes, pants, blouses & dresses! This makes me recall the happiness i had when buying these beautiful little clothing for andrea & also the hope for her to grow up to be healthy and confident and pretty. I'm so proud to be a mother to give her everything the best & pretty. From all these old clothes, i know i love her dearly & she will be my precious little girl even when she grew up :)

Sun Eclipse on 22 Jul 09
As a JY student, I'm surely concern about the astrology & the universe.
As per JY twitter, It is advisable to stay indoor (especially between 8am to 11am) + especially if you have the Chen, Wei, Xu and Chou in your bazi chart or going thru these Luck Pillar. If you are exposed, bad luck will be with you for 6 months to 6 years.
Hubby has only 1 of those animals, Me & Andrea has 2 of each! Arghh.... Maybe i shall work from home or take leave that day.

Eating Healthily
I'm trying to eat healthy this pregnancy. Learn about food that i should eat & should not eat during the shichida prenatal class. I have cut down my coke consumption ALOT, i think i do still drink once or twice a month. I just drank half a can on Tuesday afternoon, but i ate lots of sardine yesterday night :p
I will add my letchitin & wheat germ in my lunch if i can (if i take soya bean or porridge). I think i had it once a week, well.. maybe too little huh... will try to consume more. I also had black sesame added to my dinner once a week. Mum will cook millet & brown rice added to white rice once a week too.
Shichida is an excellent program but their service is not that excellent. I've attended their prenatal course about 1 1/2 months ago, the brain supplement that i ordered still have not arrived yet! It's taking too long! I've found online that one of the organic shop in Singapore is selling it, they just responded to my email today. I'm waiting for their account number so that i can TT money to them. I hope the delivery will not take too long. I'm 5 months preggy already, 4 months to go, i need to eat whatever i can! *Imaging that I'm getting it next week*

My Baby Signs Song Book
Andrea can now sing song without going out of tune, me and hubby was so amazed that she took out her Baby signs Song Book and start singing without going out of tune.
We have bought this kit when Andrea was about 1 year old. We have been listening to the CD for months at night, when coming back from my parents place after dinner. I've been using the book to sing for andrea when she asked me to.
Yesterday, andrea took the book and sat on my dressing table chair. Open the book and using her pointer and point to the words while she is singing. I do not know if she knows how to read yet or just imitating me while i sing to her all these while, but she did not miss out any words and the tune is perfect! It was a shock to me and hubby! We are really proud of our 2 year old little girl :)

Hepatitis A
Andrea took her Hep A jap yesterday. She did not cry or make any sound when Dr. Musa insert the needle into her thigh. Andrea is really brave & i'm so Proud of her! When gong gong ask her to show the injection she cover it with her skirt and gong gong ask if it's painful, andrea replied : "Nevermind". Oh dear... She is really a big girl now.
Andrea prefer Male doctor. She did not cry or refuse when she met the doctor. It has been really long that we didn't go back to Dr. Musa. We shall go there for future injection.

Butter Garlic Mushrooms
I never thought i need to look into what to cook for my kid or to worry that they won't eat what my mum & maid cook for her. Well, i think the time has come & i need to spend sometime 'thinking' what to cook for Andrea. Hope adding variety to her daily meal would get her into eating well again. Hope that i will not get myself into trouble too! haha... everytime new meal will die man....
1st dish i add to my maid's main course is this Garlic Mushrooms, Sadly, Andrea does not even want to taste a bit. Well me and hubby eat it all and it tasted yummy.
Ingredient:
White button mushrooms (sliced it)
Garlic
Butter
Put butter in the frying pan & melt it, add garlic to fry till golden brown. add Mushrooms, no need to add water as the mushroom will extract the water from inside when it's cooked. Just before you off the fire, add a pinch of sea salt. Ready to serve.
