Update for Yee Heng

Yee Heng now is 15 months old... Many peoples said he is tall at this age but we don't realize that. Anyway, he is still skinny as before. He is now superactive and creates headache to us as sometimes he will do dangerous thing.

It has been quite some time, i didn't download the photos from my camera. I think it is better for me to record down from time to time,, will be good for me to recall back in the future.

We had dinner at Island Red Cafe at Gurney together with Aunty during Depavalli holiday. Yee Heng was waiting for the food to be served. You see his short hair, I bought hair clipper to do it myself. The hair clipper costs RM60, sounds expensive.
This photo was captured at my wife's home town on 3 Oct. Yee Heng has chance to see animals in real. He was so excited to see the cat "miau miau"...

Yee Heng was in Jusco Hypermarket at Bandar Perda. Now he no longer sit on the stroller, but walking and running as he want. We have to chase him from shop to shop as he looked not scare of strangers. The photo showed him climb up the bench just wanted to touch the sticker.

We brought him to Botanical Garden during Hari Raya Holiday. We wanted him to enjoy and explored to the big garden, grass field and fresh air. He was running here and there, and first time see monkey in real. Hope he was enjoying all that...

About Penang Bridge

Last friday was the last working day before Raya, everyone was expecting worse traffic in Penang Bridge. Even myself felt a bit worry when I was about leaving office. Along the way leaving office, met few colleagues, their words was "hey, traffic sure jam in Bridge now, better stay in office". However, I was firmed to leave office no matter how, as my wife and I want to see Yee Heng earlier. Furthermore, it is long weekend holiday and feel happy when leaving office.

When I reached the bridge entrance from Bayan Baru, it was out of my surprise, no jam. The notice board showed take 15 mins to reach the other end. The traffic was unbelievable smooth, only jam when reach the other end to enter KL highway exit. I recalled the week before, it was smooth traffic in Penang bridge also.

As a resident in mainland, I really hope this situation will continue for the remaining days. And I really hope it is not because of during Puasa season. In fact, the bridge expansion really resolves the traffic congestion. By solving terrible traffic issue, it saves people's time and turn to more productive, less heat generation and pollution from car engine to air, save petrol usage and etc... There are tone of benefits that we know of. But why the problem only get resolved just today, why not earlier??

I wish governement, no matter BN or PR, need to solve people's major issue. Try as many as approach until the problem get resolved. I remember there was 1 time where stop, wait and go implemented in Penang bridge to reduce number of car reach the bottleneck at the same time. However, it failed but I don't see problem at least we tried. Thus, we shouldn't criticise but feel proud at least some effort been carried out. This is an good example I myself personally can feel the benefit. Let pray peoples in Penang, peoples in Malaysia have better tomorrow...

People representative, don't stop here, we're still wating for more good news from you. Cheer!!!

Sushi King The Big Bowl challenge

Sushi King is offering free meal challenge for month of Sept. The challenge is that if you can finish the big bowl of soba or udon noodle soup within 10mins, then you no need to pay. Else you have to pay RM38.80.

Last firday, we went to Sushi King at Auto City for dinner as we had a coupon yet to be used before expire. At first, I wanted to take up the challenge but after looking at the size of bowl and have to finish the soup as well, I have concern to finish it then.

In the middle of enjoying the sushi, suddenly my wife said you see got peoples take the challenge now at my back!!! Wow... 2 persons coming just to take up the challenge.
Guess can they beat the challenge?


See how big is the bowl!!!

Finish the soup in this way :

After finish the last drop, he feel like vomiting, luckily not happen. I did ask him "do you feel full?" He said actually not really just he can 't stand with the taste of the soup.

Now, do you dare to take the challenge?

Barney song

We were looking for Barney DVD for quite some times before my brother bought it.
We wanted to buy it because my collegues all recommended Barney, it is educational video from US, a very good video to kids.

Barney is a loveable purple dinosaur who comes magically to life and interacts with a group of children. I personally like the song show up at the end of every episode. It go this way:

I love you
You love me
We're a happy family
With a great big hug and a kiss from me to you
Wouldn't you say you love me too...

A short break on Saturday

We had a short break of taking Yee Heng on Saturday. My wife and I went decided to go watch movie as I had 2 free tickets were going to expire soon. Mom was agreed to take care of Yee Heng if we wanted to go.

It has been long time, we never go out alone as well as watching movie. We went to GSC in Sunway Carnival and it was so relax moment for both of us. Since we not really prepare to watch any movie, I have selected Final Destination but don know why when I at the counter, I bought Unbelievable tickets. Actually, we were a bit regret to watch this movie, too bad. It was all my fault. Anyway, we enjoyed the relaxing moment :)

We did window shopping a while after the movie. We decided to eat Ramen at a restaurant in Bayu Mutiara. (I can't really recall the full name but something Autumn xxxx). Actually, we went there before as my wife like Miso Soup Ramen. Opps.... the shop was closed when we reached there. Thus, we just simply find a restaurant some where there.

We ordered 3 dishes (猪脚醋，酿豆腐，小白菜）with free soup. The 酿豆腐a bit special as the soup is made of bean sauce. Anyway, it was too pricy when I paid the $$.

Car Key

I can't find my car key when wanted to go out for lunch yesterday. Yes, I had no idea where the key was? I found all the possible locations that I used to put. I called up mom to see whether she got accidentally take my car key. She said no, she even can't find it since last night when she wanted to lock my car.

She said Yee Heng was playing last night and since then she never see the key. We spent almost 1 hour ++ to find it in every single places that we suspect Yee Heng would put it, from ground floor to upstair, living room, cabinet, bedrooms, boxes, kitchen and etc... we failed to find it. When I almost ran out of idea where the key, starting get reckless and think "where is the key??, it shouldn't be out of this house".

At the time both of us said "no energy, tired, tired and tired...", my wife suddenly saw the key was inside the gap between TV rack and stack of newspaper. Yes, it was inside the gap in between. Besides the key, we found another "thing" that my wife gave him to play. I think he maybe want to keep the stuffs for himself. Anyway, this is my suspicious. Will see what are the things missing and can locate it there next time!!!

It was 3.xxpm when we found the key, we were very hungry at that time. We cancelled the original lunch plan but go to other place to have out lunch. Sometimes, things will not go per plan...

Sick Days

It was sick days for Yee Heng last week to fight with fever virus. His body started a little bit hot on Friday morning. We thought it might be just regular body hot and reminded mom to give him more water.

Later in the afternoon, I received a call from mom saying that he might be suffered from fever as the body heat come and go. We decided to go back early that day to see the situation.We gave him fever medicine that given during injection. Half an hour later, situation get better a bit, but he lost appetite. The body heat still not recoved in the mid night. We decided to bring him see Doctor in the next day.

At Bagan Specialist, there was long queue of patients waiting there. Hmm.... we only had change to see Doctor at ~1pm. His body temperature was 38.5 c at that time. After checkout was done, Doctor said he got sore throat and caused the fever. Besides that, we also infected skin disease called Eczema. Doctors gave me 2 books to understand about Eczema. We were hungry and decided to buy food back home and gave him medicine to make sure the body temperature didn't go higher.

The medicine was very effecitive, the heat go away after 1 hour. He become active after that. However, 5-6 hours later, the body heat come back again and he lost appetite due to throat infection. We started to get nervous and gave him medicine again. The body heat stayed there till midnight, waked up, made noise. we measured his temperature, wow... 38.7c. We feed him again with fever medicine, hope the temperature can go away.

On Sunday, the body temperature come and go. Mom proposed to ask "Ang Kong", had no choice we brought him to visit at Juru village, quite famous. Don't say me supersition, OK! We took emergency leave on Monday, will bring him to visit Doctor if the body heat come back. Yes, it was normal till afternoon. I told my wife "ok, sounds like we do not need to see Doctor then". Everything was fine to the next day and we back to work.

In the afternoon again, mom called me up "His body, face, hand and leg... all got red dot." We wanted to let him see Doctor this time. We reached Bagan Specialist at 4.30pm before the closing window. Doctor diagnosed and said this was sign of recovery. Don't be panic, and it could be recovered in few days.Yes, these few days, he back to normal and everything is fine. He turns to active now. We suffers and gain experienced through all this. I guess this is normal process being gone though by every single parents in the world.

Dinner at Chin Kang Hu

We had dinner at Chin Kang Hu Restaurant yesterday. We were attracted by the advertisement that food prepared using steam method. Chin Kang Hu means Real Kung Fu. In chinese term, it means 真功夫 or 蒸功夫. The restaurant is located at Bayu Mutiara close to Auto City, quite strategic location.

We were there at ~8pm after make sure Heng was full. CKH's service was good maybe too many waitress. Overall, the restaurant design is meeting my expectation, comfortable to have meal there, environment is good and toilet is clean :).

We ordered Steamed Rice with Mushroom Chicken, Hokian Mee, Lok Bak and Fried Fish ball. The food quality considered at average range, nothing special to note, but the food size is small. We ordered large Hokian Mee, but end up only the bowl is big :) The Lok Bak is tiny.

We noticed a new Nyonya Restaurant just launching right besides CKH. My wife seem like nyonya food a lot, will visit this restaurant.

A H1N1 virus

My brother is currently on biz trip to Taiwan for 1 week. We are worry when he is back, will he carry back the AH1N1 virus as well?? Nowadays, AH1N1 issue has become among the populor news in Malaysia, almost everyday has death cases reported. I also noticed peoples start to wear face mask in Supermarket and public areas. It really triggers the alarm of awareness.

Now, we are planning to quarantine him for 1 week when he is back, not close to Heng since the virus is scary now. Heng is considered in dangerous category. Anyway, heard green apple and orange juice can cure the virus and a patient has successfully recover from worst condition. Eat minumum 6 GREEN APPLES and Fresh ORANGE JUICE for those who infected by AH1N1, no harm to try out.

Really hope the AH1N1 virus will disapper soon. Amitabha...

Stage 3 Milk Powder

These few days, Yee Heng's stool a little bit wet, afraid he is diarrhea. In fact, we just upgraded the milk powder to stage 3 for 1 year and above baby. However, we still not very sure it is the root cause.

Heard the watery stool can be due to teeth growing, he always like to insert fingers to his month when crying... it can be a factor also.

Need to monitor for more days to confirm the problem. Hope it is not a milk powder problem, else need to search for suitable milk powder again.

Heng meet Lynn

Last Saturday, I brought Yee Heng to my collegue, Teik Hean's house. He did house warming to get all of us had dinner together. Since my wife had to attend her collegue's wedding on the same day, thus I decided to let Yee Heng follow me to collegue's house.

There, first time he met Lynn, daughter of Choo Thye. Both of them actually fighing each other to grab things. he was active whole night walking here and there, playing here and there. End up, I had to look after him to make sure he was not going to hurt peoples and damage things.

He was so scare of peoples carrying him, and always want me to be around. At one time, I went to toilet just a while, he cried until tear drop... so pity... Need to train him more next time :)

Anyway, would like to thanks Teik Hean for serving us such good steamboat, nice one and Lee Seng use his great Canon camera to shot the photos.

Fighting, only for adult view...

Good job done by Lee Seng...

1st Year Birthday Celebration

We celebrated Yee Heng's birthday on Sunday. Simple and meaningful birthday party. He weared new clothes bought by his mother. Besides, we actually visited 3 cake houses to survey on the cake design and pricing. Finally, we decided to buy birthday cake at LA Delight. It was simple coffee cake with 2 Winnie The Poor cartoon on it which cost additional RM3.50. We choosed simple design because there are too many colouring for those fancy design.

My wife cooked nice prawn spaghetti and fruit salad while my mother cooked Red Wine "Mee Sua" and invited all my brothers to celebrate and had lunch togther. Yee Heng tooked plain "Mee Sua" with egg yolk. Lastly, Yee Heng received a magnet drawing board from my eldest brother. Thank you.

First pair of shoe

We went out today to find a pair of shoe for Yee Heng.
Finally, we bought this pair at Choo Choo Train baby shop. He feel unconformtable when walking. He need more practice to get used to it.

Reuse baby stuffs

Stroller and Walker were given by my uncle, Guan Yeik before Yee Heng was borned. I had kept them well.

These stroller and walker has been accompanying Yee Heng for many months. The stroller allows him to enjoy shopping and jogging with us.

This was the first time he sit on the walker in his 4th month. He couldn't balance himself. Anyway, this walker has trained him how to start walking. Today, he can walk quite stable, this walker has played an important role.
Last but not least, the baby court. It was my baby court, 30++ years ago. Can't imaging, haha... We get it refurnished and the wood is still intact. It probably can last for another generation :)

Toy gift from Singapore

First of all, would like to say thank you to Wooi Seng for carrying the toys all the way from Singapore. Thank you so much, appreciate it.

My wife has picked some toys that suit for Yee Heng at the age now and cleaned it. He still plays happily, kids wouldn't differentiate new or old as long as it is fun for they to play. In fact, we seldom spend money on toys, but we gave him toys that given by relatives and friends, most of the toys he have now are from US. We bought it in garage sales, some just cost like a quarter ($0.25), really worthwhile.

We will pass the toys to others once Yee Heng no longer need them. Fortunately, both of us have the same mindset, as long as things are in good condition, we will reuse or recycle it. Let's practise the good habits to do recycle everyday to safe our mother earth.

Second hand food

I would like to share this video clip with you, hope you can share with peoples around you. This video will serve as wake up call for those wastes food everyday. Parents can show this video to educate their kids, how lucky are we living in such luxury life. We should be more appreciate food that we have everyday either tasty or no. Enjoy!

Jewish's education

I received this email and think to share with you. Education, philosophy, living culture that make a nation stronger. Jewish known to be the most brilliant peoples in the world. They are very successful in many areas; economic, technology, military and etc. All these are back to their own education, belief and survival skills. Friends who work with counterparts in Israel commend that they are tough to deal, efficient and innovative.

Here is the article about a Jewish lady who brought up 3 childrens and transformed them from dependant to become self-independant after moved back to Israel. Very interesting... sorry for those who don't understand Chinese. Get someone translate to you :)

1992年,當我輾轉回到以色列的時候,13歲的老大、
12歲的老二和10歲的小女兒都還暫時留在中國。
選擇在那時回到以色列,完全是窮途末路:
我的父親是猶太人,二戰時逃亡到上海,並在那生下我。
母親在我很小的時候就拋棄了我們,
12歲那年父親去世,我就成了孤兒。
長大後,我在上海銅廠當體力女工。
結婚生下3個孩子後,丈夫離我們而去。
留在上海,滿眼都是痛苦的回憶。
正好那時中以正式建交,懷著一種逃避的心情,
我成為了第一批回到以色列的猶太後裔。
初到以色列的日子,比想像中要困難許多。
我不懂得那語言(父親教的古希伯萊語早已不在以色列使用),
不懂得移民優惠政策(新移民可以有一筆安家費)。
在特拉維夫的大街上,我壓根不知道怎樣才能生存下去。
我從上海帶去的積蓄只能維持3個月的生活開支,
我必須找到賺錢的辦法,還要早日把孩子接到我身邊。
我苦攻希伯萊語,學最基本的生活語言,
然後,我在路邊擺了個投資最小的小攤賣春捲。
以色列! 的官方貨幣是謝克爾,1謝克爾兌換人民幣2塊錢,
更小的幣值是雅戈洛,1謝克爾等於100雅戈洛。
我的春捲小攤,每天能賺到十來個謝克爾。
當我的小攤生意慢慢穩定下來以後,


1993年5月,我把3個孩子都接到了以色列。
孩子們初到以色列的時候,受到了不少鄰居們的責難。
以前在國內時,我一直秉承再苦不能苦孩子的原則,
到了以色列以後,我依舊做著我合格的中國式媽媽:
我把孩子們送去學校讀書,他們上學的時候我賣春捲。
到了下午放學的時候,他們就來春捲攤,我停止營業,
在小爐子上面給他們做餛飩下麵條。


一天,當3個孩子圍坐在小爐子旁邊等我做飯的時候,
鄰居過來訓斥老大:
"你已經是大孩子了,你應該學會去幫助你的母親,
而不是在這看著母親忙碌,自己就像廢物一樣。"
然後,鄰居轉過頭訓斥我:
"不要把那種落後的中國式教育帶到以色列來,
別以為生了孩子你就是母親……"


鄰居的話很傷人,我和老大都很難受,回家後,我安慰老大:
"沒事的,媽媽能撐住,我喜歡照顧你們。 "
可是,老大說: "也許,她說得沒錯。
媽媽,讓我試著去照顧弟弟妹妹吧……"
第二天是祈禱日,孩子們中午就放學了! 。
來到我的小攤,老大坐在我旁邊,
學著我的樣子把打好的春捲皮包上餡,
卷成成品,然後入油鍋去炸。
他的動作一開始有些笨拙,但是後來越來越熟練……
老大身上的轉變大得連我自己都想不到,除了幫我做春捲,
他還提出由他們帶做好的春捲去學校賣給同學。
每天早上,他和弟弟妹妹每人帶
20個春捲去學校,放學回來的時候, 會把每人
10謝克爾的賣春捲收入全部上交給我。
我覺得很心酸,讓他們小小年齡就要擔起生活的擔子。
可是,他們沒有表現出我想像的那種委屈,
他們說他們慢慢開始喜歡這種賺錢的感覺了。


鄰居太太經常來跟我聊天,告訴我正規的猶太家庭應該如何運作,
應該如何教育孩子:
猶太人從來不覺得賺錢是一個需要到達一定年齡才能開展的活動,
與中國的"教育從娃娃抓起"一樣, 他們始終覺得
"賺錢從娃娃抓起"才是最好的教育方式。
鄰居太太告訴我,在猶太家庭沒有免費的食物和照顧,
任何東西都是有價格的,每個孩子都必須學會賺錢,
才能獲得自己需要的一切。
我覺得這樣的教育手段比較殘酷,不是那麼容易接受。
但是,孩子們在學校也被灌輸著這樣的理念。
他們比我更容易地接受了這種猶太法則。於是,
我決定改變以前在國內對孩子們的習慣,試著培養他們成
? 楠q太人。


首先,我們家確立了有償生活機制,家裡的任何東西都不再無償使用,
包括我這個母親提供的餐食和服務。
在家吃一頓飯,需要支付給我100雅戈洛的成本費用,
洗一次衣服需要支付50雅戈洛……在收取費用的同時,
我給予他們賺錢的機會,我以每個春捲
30雅戈洛的價錢批發給他們,
他們帶到學校後,可以自行加價出售,利潤部分可自由支配。
第一天下午回來以後,我得知
3個孩子賣春捲的方式竟然截然不同:
老三比較老實,按照老價錢,
50雅戈洛一個零售,賺到了400雅戈洛;
老二則使用了批發手段,
40雅戈洛一個直接將春捲全部賣給了學校餐廳,
儘管只200雅戈洛的利潤,
但他告訴我餐廳同意每天讓他送100個春捲去;
老大的方式比較出人意料,他在學校舉辦了一個
"帶你走進中國"的講座,
由他主講中國國內的見聞,
講座噱頭就在於可以免費品嘗美味的中國春捲,
但是需要買入場券,每人
10雅戈洛,每個春捲都被他精心分割成了10份,
他接待了200個聽眾,入場券收入2000雅戈洛,
在上繳學校500雅戈洛的場地費用後,利潤1500雅戈洛。
除了老三的方法在我意料以內之外,
老大和老二的經營方式都超出了我的想像。
我! 真的沒有料到,只在短短數日之間,
以前只會黏著我撒嬌的孩子就搖身一變
成了精明的小猶太商人。
他們的學業並沒有因此受到任何影響,
為了琢磨出更多更新穎的賺錢方法,他們很努力地去學習和思考

——

老師授課的內容很對他們胃口,因為沒有奉獻精神之類的說教。
老師問過他們這樣一個問題:
"當遭到異教徒的襲擊,必須逃命的時候,你會帶著什麼逃走？"
對於這個問題,回答"錢"或"寶石"是不對的。
這是因為,無論是錢還是寶石,一旦被奪走就會完全失去。
正確的答案是"教育"。
與財物不同,只要人活著,教育就不可能被別人奪走。
他們很讚賞老師說的這麼一句話:"
如果你想將來成為富翁,就學好眼前的東西,
它們將來都會大有用處的……"


當老大在法律課上學習了移民法後,
他告訴我像我們這樣的家庭應該可以去移民局領取安家費。
我半信半疑去了,結果一下領回了
6000謝克爾的安家費, 這對我們一家來說可是一筆了不得的財產。
然後,老大跟我說因為他給我提供了資訊,我應該付給他
10%的酬金。 我猶豫很久,終於決定把
600謝克爾這筆大錢給他,他拿到錢後,
給我和弟弟妹妹都買了很漂亮的禮物,
剩下的錢,他說他會拿去變成更多的錢。
老大用這筆酬金郵購了一批在國內很
! 便宜的文具,然後去學校進行售賣,
利潤再投入繼續進貨,
1年以後他戶頭上的金額就已經超過了2000謝克爾。
儘管老大很會賺錢,但在實際上,老二比他更能領會猶太法則的精髓

——

猶太人共同的一點是,從事那些不用投入本錢的行業,
從事其他人不做的、無須花錢和投資的工作。
當老大在利用國內的資源賺錢的時候,老二也在如此做著,不過,
他賺的是不需要成本的精神領域的利潤

——


老二以他14歲的年齡和文筆,
竟然在報紙上開設了自己的專欄,專門介紹上海的風土人情,
每週交稿2篇,每篇1000字,每月8000雅戈洛。
老三是女孩子,因為比較矜持,也沒有展露出賺錢方面的才能,
但是我在她身上欣慰地看到了猶太人對生活的樂觀和優雅。
她學會了煮茶和做點心,每天晚上,她會精心煮一壺紅茶,
配上她自創的口味不同的點心,一家人圍坐下來邊吃邊聊天

——

老三的點心有點中西合璧的味道,兩個哥哥都很喜歡。
不過,這些點心不是免費的,兩個哥哥支付的點心費用,
刨開成本和每天需要交給我的費用外,老三也能活得很滋潤。
當我們家的資金越來越豐富的時候,
我們一家4口合資開辦了我們家的中國餐廳。
我占40%股! 份、老大30%、老二20%、老三10%。
當我們家的餐廳越來越有名的時候,
我也引起了很多關注。
當我獲得拉賓的接見後,我成了以色列的名人。
此時的我已經完全掌握了希伯萊文,再加上我的母語中文,
我最後被以色列國家鑽石公司邀請擔任駐中國首席代表。
當我回國任職的時候,孩子們也跟隨我一起回到了中國,
有了中國孩子作為比較對象之後,
我方才發覺我的孩子成長得比我想像的還要優秀

——


在回國之前, 每個孩子都去購買了很多以色列產的物品。
回國之後,老師來找我了,她說我的孩子在校園推銷來自以色列的商品,
從飾品到民族服裝甚至到子彈殼無所不有,她建議我好好管教一下孩子。
我告訴她,我無權干涉我孩子的行為,這是他們賺取他們學費的方式

——

因為,我已經不再負責他們的所有學習費用。
老師的眼睛頓時瞪得大大的,她理解不了像我這樣月薪
5000美元的母親 竟然會不給孩子學費。
我請她品嘗一下女兒做的在家售價
2塊錢一個的小點心,微笑著告訴她:
"這是我的孩子在以色列生活幾年以來,學會猶太法則的產物,
我相信他們將來都會成為優秀的人才……"
在隨後的高考中,老大進入了旅遊高等專科學校,
他說他要成為專業的旅遊人才,然後去以色列開辦自己的旅遊公司,!
壟斷經營中國遊;第二年,老二考入上海外國語學院,
他說他的理想是當一個作家,在不需任何投資和奉獻的前提下賺取利潤;
老三說她會去學中國廚藝,當一個頂級的糕點師,
然後去開辦全以色列最好的糕點店……


回國以後,我發覺很多中國父母都活在一種左右搖擺的矛盾心態中,
既希望自己的孩子將來能成為大富翁,
卻又似乎害怕孩子過早地沉迷於金錢
——



就好像, 既希望孩子將來能有個幸福的家庭,卻又害怕孩子現在會早戀一樣。
這是一種典型的葉公好龍
——


猶太人用敲擊金幣的聲音迎接孩子的出世, 賺錢是他們人生的終極目標,至於教育、學習
都是為了達到這個目標必須經歷的過程


——

而中國的父母,哪怕心中憧憬無比,但卻從來不肯挑明這個話題。
這句話很難說嗎？其實只是簡單的一句:
"孩子,我想當一個富豪的媽媽……"

He is skinny

Friends were telling me that Yee Heng looked chubby. This is not true, his face actually make him looked "bak bak" while his body is skinny. His weight has been maintaining at 8.25kg for few months, consider a bit underweight now. Well, he takes 2 times of porridge each day and 7oz of milk every 3 hours. We have no problem to feed him, in fact he loves eating. The only reason we can think of is he is too active, he spends a lot of energy in crawling, playing and now start to learn how to walk. He is able to walk quite a distance and smile with proud :)

Doctors gave few Pediasure packets for him. Heard Pediasure is the most expensive milk powder in the market and can boot up baby's appetite and contains necessary nutrition. Hopefully, he can gain back weight to at least back to normal curve.

Tip to let baby sleep at night

Both of us used to be headache to let Yee Heng sleep at night. He likes to play in the bedroom, crawling, open wardrobe door and mess up the clothes. Worse thing is he still wake up in the midnight to take milk. Recently, we discovered 1 method to make him sleep comfortably without making any noise.

Now, we try to bring him to bedroom at 9-10pm and feed him with milk with light off. While drinking milk, this is the time he get quiet down, not much movement and he will fall sleep and throw the milk bottle aside after finished. In short, he need milk and light off in order to calm down and turn to sleep mode. Then, we have personal time to do our work else he will disturb and need our attention to monitor him.

Before we go the sleep, have to give a little milk to let him feel full, so that he wouldn't wake up in the middle of night. We try to give plain water before as recommended by most of the peoples but it failed. He can differential water and milk, if give water, he will turn his head away and continue crying for milk. Sounds clever but we suffered :)

We hope this can be continued and share with those parents who have similar problem. Good luck!

He is 365 days old

I decided to start blogging in conjunction with my son 1 year old. Happy Birthday, Yee Heng. This blog also serve as my diary for his reading in the future. We decided to took leave yesterday, just to spend time with him but we did't do any celebration. In fact, we decided to celebrate his birthday in chinese calendar coming soon...

In the afternoon, we went to Megamall to buy clothes as my wife wish to top up her formal clothes as there are many wedding dinners and function coming on the way. So, Yee Heng had to follow us to do shopping there :) Hope he was enjoying at that moment... Later, we moved forward to Jusco for him to play at the playground area, he was so excited!!!
