Surviving

This is the 1st time, there is no maid's or mother's help. I'm glad im still surviving, Thank God that hubby is a good helper. At least i have sometime for myself, but do not have time to play fb games anymore. Poor hubby, i think he does not have time for himself.

Life has been awfully tired, beside having to do all house chores, my little princess is down with fever - it reaches 39 degrees! I hope it won't happen again tonight, I'm really worried. She could eat 3 bowls of my porridge for dinner just now, she is so hungry! my GOD! We went home straight from hubby's cousin fullmoon lunch (skipped shichida class), andrea slept very very long. I think it's because of the ice cream we ate at zipangu yesterday. Andrea has such weak lungs, i hope she will not develop asthma later on, i don't know why the weak lungs cannot grow stronger. I thought by stopping her to play water at school can help, but I'm wrong :( with this, i can conclude that, ppl with weak metal in the chart has weak lungs.

Ben overall is OK, only that is not poo-ing. Today is the 3rd day of not poo-ing again! I hope the poop will come out tomorrow! I hope hubby will survive tomorrow because he will stay home alone with ben.

Ben's 1st Taste - 2

I have made cauliflower + broccoli for his cereal last week. He likes it alot, I'm really amaze, despite the strong broccoli smell, i thought he would reject it. However, the last cube of pumpkin he rejected, I guess he knows that was not very fresh anymore.

For fruits, he continue to eat pear. However we let him tried Avocado, banana & papaya. He does not really like papaya but banana & Avocado was OKay.

Ben is still allergic to sweet potato i think. We fed him sweet potato one morning and he had rashes on his back, after 3 days still there, but no fever, so we did not bring him to see doctor. I really hope is not because of my self cleansing (reiki) that cause him the rashes. 

Today he tried salmon, he likes it :) We were having dinner at ZiPangu just now.

Climbing Stairs

Benjamin is climbing stairs yesterday, before he turned 7 months! My God.. its too fast!

Last week, he was just trying out, to put up his leg at the stairs but cannot go up nor hang his leg on the other steps. The day before yesterday, he tried his hands putting on the stairs (2 steps up) but not moving, then put his hand down again (1 step up) and up again. Yesterday he did it! hands and legs... up up the stairs! The only thing is that he doesn't know how to come down! haha... i ask him to use his buttock 1st, maybe he is only 6 months, he still doesn't understand me... well... will see when he know how to go down the stairs.

Another thing is, ben has the co-ordination of walking. When we hold his hand, he knows how to move his leg " left - right - left - right". I think he will be walking before turning 1. right now, he likes to stand & holding on furniture, sometimes will take one or two steps right or left, not cruising yet. I can't wait to see him walk, so i don't have to carry him always :)

Reiki Journey - 1

Took up Reiki last sunday at eagle's nest, the experience was amazing. I cannot imagine i had so much 'qi' after the attunement. WOW ... anyway, took this up for the good of myself & of course for my precious 2 & Hubby. Anyone sick in the family, i would get extremely worried & TIRED.

I'm going thru the 21 days cleansing now, all i feel is abit of dizziness. I read up alot of articles online & found out that i should do grounding & protection. I've done it yesterday and the 'floating' effect is lesser & i hope i can concentrate more tonight. Yesterday night was horrible, i was afraid of 'spirits', i don't know why... maybe because the 1st night after reiki, i heard a girl and a man talking and playing, i hope it's andrea & hubby. But sui hubby said i don't know oh... so i keep on thinking is some spirit in our room/ toilet. Please don't let me hear or see any spirits... colours will do. Thanks You

My qi was very powerful on the 1st day. Even my mum was shock, how can that happen? only in 1 day?!! I told her, i myself cannot believe it.... Today is my 3rd day, i must get rid of the spirit .... all in my mind i know. I must practise properly and purify myself, i need to heal my 2 poor kids who is always sick!

1. Reiki my swollen ears, next morning not swollen anymore but still hurts
2. Reiki my son's lungs, next morning cannot hear the mild phlegm anymore
3. Everyone can feel my super qi hands - Hot and massaging effect

3 more working days

I'm counting down for the days that i do not need to on my thinkpad. I have worked for good 5 years, i'm glad that i have a chance to slow down and have a chance to re-think/ re-prioritize the importance of my life. I'm a type of person that will strive for improvement in life, I hope by the end of the day i will not have any regret.

I'm a mother of 2, my girl is approaching 3 years old. Me too, only 3 years old in motherhood/ parenthood. I learn to love, learn to give, learn to communicate, learn to teach, learn to be patient, learn to accommodate, learn to scarifies, learn to share, etc. There is so much learning after i have my 2 precious baby. A good 6 months off is all i need. I never stop learning, Im also grateful that i have good salary to support myself of learning from expensive program for myself & my kids. I want to thank my guardian angles & promise myself to be free from worry & anger at least for today. (i have to tell myself this everyday)

I will be back to work on 1 Dec 2010!!! No more work related post.....

Ben's 1st Taste

We brought ben for his monthly injection when he was 5 months 2 weeks, I've asked dr. musa if i can feed ben solid because ben does not drink alot of milk. Dr. said sure, not a problem, even ask me to let him eat fish, but have to blend it. I was thinking "fish? i thought only 7 months can eat??" hm... so i prepare his 1st solid & feed him the following week. At 5 months 3 weeks, ben started solid.

1. Sweet Potato was his 1st food. He has diarrhoea after 6 hours, poor boy. Luckily not very bad... he purge for 3 times i think, after 12 hours it stops. Phew... My sister said because his digestive system is not matured yet. So we stop solid after that one and only feed.

2. at 6 months 2 weeks, i've started him with Butternut squash & pear. Both are OK. Nothing happen

3. After 4 days of butternut squash, we feed ben carrots. He had fever after 30min of the feed. Now i don't know if the carrots cause him fever or the influenza jap he took yesterday. sigh.... My boy is really a 'xiao jie'

This week i'm gonna make pumpkin & apple. If there is sweet potato selling at justlife, i will want to puree it as well for next week use. Want to give it another try!

Ben loves the pear puree very much. I add water & he drink it one shot 2oz, after that still can drink 1.5oz milk! not bad....

My 2 kids

I feel grateful to have my 2 kids. I enjoy seeing andrea & ben playing together. I feel excited how andrea could make ben laugh non-stop. I feel so warm in the heart when i see both of them grow up healthily & happily. Here is what andrea did to ben & ben can't help himself to stop laughing:

1. Andrea pretend to fall from the bed
2. Andrea throw the small little pillow that i made for her on the bed - ben is amaze the little pillow bouncing on the bed
3. Andrea use the ballon to knock ben's head
4. Andrea knock the white box on the ground
5. Andrea talks to ben or when andrea was singing to herself (ben smiling & respond to his sister)

Ben now loves every single thing that his sister is holding. I'm glad that andrea is not too rough right now, all she will do is "mummy, see benjamin ......." OR she will laugh when his brother push her down on the bed!

Skin Care

I'm very please that i have a jar of La Mer eye concentrate exchanged.

I have pimples all over my face when i was in form 5, the worst is when i was in my uni 1st year. It was terrible & the ugliest moment thus far. Hence i started to wash my face with proper cleanser when i was 17 years old, johnson & johnson was my 1st cleanser i think, then i move on to simple & neutrogena. For cleanser i'm not very particular but i use very good moisturizer. I use elizaberth arden moisturizer back then
 
When i met hubby, i was still broke because i was earning only RM1600 as ISO consultant, hubby introduce me to dermalogica, from then i use dermalogica cleanser, toner & daily microfoilant. I'm still using elizaberth arden mositurizer. 6 months later, I move to IBM, my pay shoots up to more than double, then i started exploring for more expensive product. I have tried many product such as SKII, Shu uemura, bobbi brown, korea product etc

Currently I'm using:
Ultracalming Cleanser from Dermalogica
Daily Microfoliant from Dermalogica
Depsea Toner from Shu Uemura
The Regenerating Serum from Lamer
Moisturizing Lotion (night) & Moisturizing Gel Cream (day) from Lamer
The Eye concentrate from Lamer
The Hand Treatment from Lamer
The Lip Balm from Lamer
The Treatment Powder Foundation SPF 15 from Lamer

Addicted to iPhone

As a mother, i have the responsibility of not letting my kids to be addicted to games. I have bought an iphone for about a month plus now, me too have been searching for educational software for andrea. Andrea is a real addict to my iphone, she not only likes to play educational games on my phone but also reading stories. I have subscribe to a story book company, which i think very suitable for 3 years old. USD3 per month, everyday 1 new stories. All the books read before will be kept in library.

I also like one phonics software, where andrea can write the letters on iphone. However i did not purchase that software, still using the lite version. Currently andrea will only play with it after her afternoon nap. Previously she was playing it 24x7! Cannot believe that kids below 3 years old also get addicted to games! hhahaa...

Another game i like is the memory game. Andrea seldom play with it, but once in a while i saw her playing. Good to enhance her memory ability i guess! Before this, she was playing online games on the PC on the website like strawberry shortcake & mickey mouse club.
