Surprise

Happy! I had 12% profit today by selling my waseong. I have lost alot of money in my stupid Maybank, earning alittle from other stocks lift up my spirit. All i need to do is to wait and do cost averaging for my Maybank.

Someone from CnetG called me & asked if im interested for a fastrack management program. Salary from 6-7K. Wow, he even know I'm with IBM now and my position. I guess it must be Jobstreet. Better go update my CV at Jobstreet now. hehe.. Despite the bad morning sickness i've had, i have some happy time too :) 1 more month to go, hope it'll stop by week 12.

21 Months

Andrea was 21 months old yesterday. She can:
1. Sing simple song (missing out some words) - Happy Birthday. Ba Ba Black sheep, Ding Dong Bell and Hot Cross Bun + ABC until G only
2. Count 1 to 10 confidently, count 11-20 with help.
3. Climb ladders in Kidzsport that is meant for 2 year old kid. I was very amaze that she could turn her hands and turn her whole body to go down the other side. Hand and Leg coordination is really good.
4. Still loving Charlie and Lola. She learn alot of vocab from there, like Not bad was really hilarious when we ask her how's the food she is eating. It was a shock to us when we 1st heard it.
5. Favourite movie now is Strawberry Shortcake
6. Still wakes up for night feed, poor hubby. Andrea when do you want to stop torturing your daddy?
7. Likes to climb up on my mum's table and dance/ shake. (do not know how to jump yet)
8. Still eating soft rice (porridge like)
9. Likes to call 'Daddy Wake up' and 'Mummy Wake up' in the morning.
10. Still likes to do Homework, every night will tell me or hubby 'i want to do homework'

Lunch!

I've just eaten a 5 days expired maggi mee. oh Gosh... i don't know if im having a self punishment today but i was feeling really really uncomfortable, needed some spicy soup & egg. I can only find nissin mee & chicken maggi mee. Of course i choose the nissin mee & it's already expired 5 days, well i thought only 5 days, should be alright lah, the seasoning still looks ok, it's not harden yet.

Here, after that meal, i feel satisfied, i dunno how am i going to feel later. Hopefully won't be bad :) Tomorrow cannot work from home, i have 2 telecons.. argh hate it... Hope i can sleep a little later. My compliance testing results has 2 marginal again! argh... it's so irritating. When can i stop to become a police woman? quite stressful when everyone decided to go against the rule all together.

Tiredness Continues...

It was worst than my last pregnancy, i can vaguely remember i was this sick last time. Maybe i was happily travelling in the UK, i was happily eating 'walkers' when i feel bloated i guess, i didn't remember i was this sick and after 2 days of MC, my colleague still says i look sick! I have another 1 presentation this afternoon, i hate it, i wanna go home and sleep. I sleep almost 10 hours daily & still not enough.

Yesterday i vomited out, 1st time. Can't believe it's this soon. I remember my 1st one only vomit out when i was 4-6 months, MS was not bad last time, this time it strike me 24 hours & vomited somemore. I think i will put on more weight than the last pregnancy, oh god, i hope i can control my weight this time! Had my 1st checkup last Monday because of palpitations, hope it's really the teh tarik that causes this, i even feel breathless all the time now. Am i too weak or it's really the baby that is too rebellious! Gosh....

Sleepy

I was feeling not well, had terrible dizziness this morning. Feel like fainting, then i lie on my desk to rest for a min. At lunch time i had dim sum, had pan fried carrot cake (it was very nice) + jar leung (not nice, i was expecting something like royal china in London OK, I feel even more unwell after eating that). Overall was feeling better after lunch. Now im back at my desk, feeling all dizzy again.

Saturday Xu Wu

Wu Clashed with my Spouse Pillar Zi, Moreover Zi represent output & Wu represent direct officer. Had argument with husband that will change the situation. Clash is the worst relationship that u want to have, he may not be feeling anything after this, but I'm sure I will feel a change after this. Overall it's inside my chart not his. Good or bad change? I predict bad, Zi - water element, it's my favourite element and it's being clashed away.

Checked Husband chart, this month ding mao - mao clashed away xin in his natal chart. xin is in the spouse palace too, i may be feeling one day of clashed & aftermath but he will be feeling the whole month of clashed. Both has clashed in spouse palace, what a coincidence.

His = 7K clash away HO (spouse palace) - he feels power & authority & will use hurting speech to attack his wife
Her = DO clash away HO (spouse palace) - her husband will win over her hurting speech.
Overall who wins? he wins lah! but he will feel more pain than i am.

Shichida - 8 March 2009

Sensei Eiza was on sick leave, hence another sensei came to take over the class. I just want to say that it's really your pure luck to get a pretty & good pronunciation sensei. Our 1st sensei's pronunciation was a little bit out, this sensei was abit out. Current sensei is the best so far, pretty and with good pronunciation. Phew.. i dunno how long she will be with us. Hope as along as we are with this programme.

I've collected my 2 items from Tensai, now i've started addition song with andrea. Hope she can remember it soon and also improve her beta wave in her right brain. She loves the AIUEO song as well, she asked me to play it over and over again! Now only i know she enjoys Shichida class too, when she is listening to addition song and AIUEO song, she will tell me "like shichida, i want to go shichida". I'm glad she enjoys it!

Ding Mao Month

This month, i don't know if it's good or bad. Let me write it down and see when march ends.

ding fire and yi wood is my useful element, however mao clashes with you in my natal chart. "This clash generally indicates betrayal, backstabbing and a lost of trust to the people you trust or vice versa. One experiencing this clash finds trusted people turn against, and betray them. "

Ding fire appearing, I may find that my superior or husband supports me more this month (which i already feeling it, country managers respond to most of my emails recently). yi wood inside mao represent direct wealth, I guess my promotion that my ex-manager promised will not come true? It has a clash on the xin metal. Or my promotion will win over my friend (xin metal). Oh dear. Yet to find out. However, Bonus Letter will be given out next tuesday, ex-manager mentioned that i have it, but very little due to the small pool money this year. Consider some wealth lah.

parent's place

Hubby went to Singapore for a night, hence andrea, maid & myself stay over at my parent's place. I thought it was going to be really tough, because andrea still wants milk in the middle of the night.

Andrea doesn't want to sleep although it's nearly 10pm, i cannot stand cos i was very very sleepy already. I handed andrea to the maid and slept soundly after that. I think she cannot sleep without her dad's company. Poor baby. Surprisingly andrea wakes up at 12am, and i said it's not time for milk yet, it's still early. Then she ngek ngek ngek and went back to sleep again, by 5 sth in the morning, she called me again. 5am is quite reasonable i guess, i then make milk for her :)

Clear Blue

Recently i've bought a few clear blue to test out if i'm pregnant. It turn out to be waste of money, it's all because i was not patient enough! The most devastating moment is when i saw it in Watson, it was only selling RM33 + 10% off per box. I have been buying it from Guardian and it cost me RM38 per box. RM5 difference!

Shichida - 1 March 2009

We had two classes last weekend, replacement class for CNY, phew it was really really tired! Andrea did very well on her replacement class. She got 100% correct for all ESP and Memory linking game! I thought it was because i start home practise with her now, unfortunately i think that was her prime time 6pm-7pm. Sunday Class she got 50% correct for ESP and memory linking game.. aww... was quite disappointed ... but i'll continue with my home practise!!

I have also ordered 2 CD, the Japanese songs CD where some of the songs were sing during the class & 1 addition CD. Since andrea refuse to look at the dots flash card, i hope addition CD will help her. I hope they are good, both cost me RM200!

Andrea is still very shy, when sensei ask her question, she would either reply very softly or kept quiet. I hope her confidence level will boost up one day.

Busy Saturday

I've did quite alot of things yesterday
(1) Kizport at 10am
(2) Hatha yoga at 3.15pm
(3) Andrea Shichida Replacement Class at 6pm
(4) Isetan sale at 7pm
Arrived home at 10pm

Timing was quite tight but I'm glad that i've bought my facial thingy from Isetan & also went to kinokuniya to buy andrea a puzzle book!

Memorising

Recently i have bought a complete set of phonics books, 4 books in total. Words are short & easy to read. After reading to Andrea 2 days, she could memorise most of the words that is coming next. My intention is to train her to recognise words, i do not know why she prefer memorising it than "reading" the words on the book.

The book cost Rm5.90 each & it has grammar mistake! When i carefully read the author again, it says she's got her degree or something in US but the book is written and printed in Malaysia! How awful... There is particularly one book that is awfully non-acceptable. I kept it, will throw it away later. This is not the 1st case, the lady bird book (level 1), i bought one set, comes in six books. That one LADY BIRD also has grammar mistake! What is happening... Only one of the book"The enormous turnip", my mum was like .. hm... is this really from the UK? It's really hard to get good books without grammar error these days....

What i'm up to

After 5 days break of not blogging, i've been thinking alot about wealth generation.

To do Day Care business? I've talked to a friend who is a owner of Day Care+Tuition. She has 30 kids now + 5 helper/ teacher. Each kid pay Rm250-350 exclude meal. To my estimation she would earn about Rm11K per month, minus wage+bills+mic = left with <5k. Maximum 5K might as well i sit in office right. Well, if there is owner out there earning Rm10K nett, do let me know. I will re-consider.

I've also invest in shares, wrong timing, it went down and never rise again. I thought feb, strong wood should control earth, but im wrong. Bazi knowledge needs to improve somemore.

Thinking if i shall invest in a house where the developer is offering cash rebate. Im still thinking.. thinking hard... RM500K rebate Rm44K, RM700K rebate RM100K.... I don't know if this is a good buy... my bazi application sucks for shares, i've got no confident to make any judgement.

20 Months Old

Time Really flies! Andrea is 20 Months old today. 

Andrea is developing well, despite of her weight & soft spot that has not closed. Andrea is very alert, not when she is sleepy or moody. She can run VERY fast & likes to play hide and seek. She would laugh very loud when she is very happy or excited. Andrea is able to say full sentence now. Just this afternoon she told me the longest sentence: Amy throw away the doughnut box, daddy buy somemore. Hence i asked hubby to buy doughnut for her when we were at mid valley just now.

Daddy dislike her to scream, i have no idea why she has developed screaming just recently. Maybe she is unhappy? or maybe she feels confuse? or needs attention? I really do not know why. Andrea could scream out of a sudden, then we asked her why you scream.. she would smile at us. Very weird. She still wakes up for night feed. Poor daddy has to make milk for her till today :(

We had dinner at the Loaf just now, andrea could feed herself very well. She could drink her own mushroom soup. It goes the same to yesterday's dinner at a mexican restaurant at USJ. Andrea behave well on the table, well at least didn't ask us to bring her out for a walk or refuse to sit when we were eating. I hope this will not change. 

Royal China Restaurant, Jalan Ampang

We had Family Eow gathering dinner at Royal China yesterday, the food was actually very good. I was surprised! We had 2 big tables and 1 small table for the kids & maids.

Cousin brother was back from US for a short trip. It's a one stone kill two birds event, we had the reunion dinner & grandpa birthday cake cutting ceremony in the restaurant. Everyone was busy catching up, surprisingly i had the time to keh poh too! hehe, andrea enjoy herself there playing with her cousins.

It was a tiring night but somehow i feel fulfilling because i just love reunion, catching up with each other & ask about how other babies are doing.

Painful Front Thigh

After Cay Mee's class my Front Thigh muscles was strained. I expect the recovery period = 1 day, however i still feel the pain as of today! 3 days haven't recover. I had Sunday rest and yesterday went to pilates class, mostly work on the core muscles, hence not so much on the thigh.

I don't know why today my front thigh feels even more heavier than yesterday. I could hardly walk properly with my 3 inch heels. Ouch...

Yesterday i parked up stairs, quite scary because it's very quiet. I still prefer to park basement, i don't know when that Garden basement will re-open.

Shichida - 15 Feb 2009

Yesterday Shichida Centre point called and asked if i have already paid my term 2 fee. HELLO! one month already past, of course i've paid! Do i look like someone who likes to take advantage on these small little things. PLEASE.....

I think the management needs to improve their customer service and also their internal process. If they don't do anything about it, they will loose all their customer if somewhere else offer similar education. I told the silly woman that "yes, i have paid in LFY & they asked me to pay there last term", she said "oh then i check with them, thanks". You seek clarification from your customer last, OK? Do investigation internally first!

Anyway, last week was thaipusam, hence no class. The week before hubby brought andrea there because i booked for facial at that time. Refer to sensei & hubby's comment andrea did well last two weeks.

Today andrea was alright, she doesn't climb up the table anymore. She is more vocal now, able to speak up a little bit more (about 3-4 words), not enough i know but she is abit slow in adapting. Not enough confident i guess, at home or alone with family members she is very confident and very talkative! As usual, she loves all the songs and pay 100% attention to it.

mYoga - as of 15 Feb 2009

I joined on the 4th of February 2009.
4 Feb 2009 - 8 Feb 2009:
Ai Ting Hatha Yoga (1)
Adrian Basic Pilates (1)

9 Feb 2009 - 15 Feb 2009:
Ryu mY Stretch (1)
Adrian Basic Pilates (1)
Yea Hooi Hatha Yoga (1)
Cay Mee Hatha Yoga (1)

I was previously with adrian in YZ, hence i feel more comfortable with his teaching style. For Cay Mee, she really worked on my weak legs. I don't know if i would have much determination with her when my legs are this weak! Need a few more class to judge. However she does gave me constructive advice to fine tune my pose.

Kizsport - 14 Feb 09

Andrea loves to go kizsport, i asked "today is Saturday and is ....", she will reply "Kizsport day"!

Today we arrived slightly early, around 9.40am. We then stayed in the car till 9.45am, when we are up, there are already a few kids playing at the play land. Andrea went to the baby spot where there is only 1 kid, the usual spot she went were conquered by a few kids already.

She tried to climb on 2 different slides & she did it by herself! Well Done! She also went and ride on the donkey & fish to rock front and back. She is enjoying herself there & doesn't want to go to class until 10.05am. I would say she is quite independent now, i've no longer need to chase & scream so much at her. She is quite steady when playing slides or take on any ride.

In class today. she display an independent behaviour. She is able to go and play with the equipment alone without asking me to go with her or stay by her side. She is able to do somersault alone today, teacher told me to bring her to the inclination mat and ask her to head down. Once her head is down she roll forward without help! Very Amazing! and she loves it, she did about 5 times.
