Shopping......for Children SHOES..

Am I a shopalholic?? Yes..I used to be a shopalholic when I was "Single" and still working in Singapore. Almost every weekend, I will go for shopping,not to forget buy something for myself,of course, I was not aiming for those branded goods.
As long as the things I like,suit me and the price is reasonable,then I will
grabbed it.That was my past...

Now, after married, no working(means no income), my shopalholic habit has "GONE".
I only shop for whatever necessary and most of my shopping is goes to my son Ryan.I seldom shop for myself.

I have been planning to get a pair of new shoes for Ryan since the one he is having now started to get tight for his feet.
While browsing through some online store for children shoes, I came across this children shoes website - baby shoes.
Start-rite today is an eighth generation family business. They are a wholesaler whose brand retails through a network of over 400 independent and multiple retailers across the UK and internationally.Apart from it,Start-rite shoes achieved another first when, as supplier of footwear to the Windsor children, it was granted the Royal Warrant by Queen Elizabeth in 1955.

After browsing through this interesting website, I definitely fall in love with some of the shoes displayed especially these Trainer GSR 1905.
The shoes is ultra lightweight and non-marking whilst the cushioned sock offers additional support and comfort. The additional benefit is the anti-bacterial lining which eliminates any odours. This is definitely the best shoes for sport(ie: football).

How I wish I have a daughter, as the shoes range for girls in Star-rite are so tempting. I can't resist to google more on Girls' shoes section and I found some girls' shoes that I like.
Does it means... I am planning for my second child?? ...... " A Big Question Mark"......Let's you guys GUESS !!*****

Lastly, I found this useful tutorial in youtube on how to on how to measure your own kids' feet using Start-rite's programme called Click 'n' Fit. By using this programme, you can accurately measure your child's feet, determine the footwear size appropriate for your child and make your order from Start-rite. Pretty simple...,right?

Take your sweet time to have a close look on this tutorial:


Star-rite is not only offer best range for children shoes,but it does have provide a good information on how to get the best shoes which fit your child's feet ,not to forget, it does have "win free shoes" contest opened to UK residents only.Don't miss out this good chance!!

Today is My Birthday

*** Not Ryan's birthday,but is Ryan's mummy birthday ***
This morning, I told RYan that today is his mummy's bday,then he said...
No No...is Ryan's birthday.
I guess my boy like to have birthday few times in a year,because he likes
to eat cake.
Not to forget, ryan sing a birthday song(malay style) this morning before
he goes to school. So cute.. and I definitely feel happy today.

I wish myself " Happy Birthday "...

My Bad Day...

My Birthday is fall in August...another 4 more days to go will be
my BIRTHDAY. However,alot of bad things happened to me within these two
weeks.

The first case is happened last week when I went to renew my VISA.
It has been my fifth year for Visa Renewal and I always park my car at the
roadside(yellow line area) because the car park is always Full-house.
I reached there in the morning around 8.40am...unfortunately, I forget to
bring enough cash ,therefore, I drove back to Maybank to do the withdrawal and drove
back again to the Immigration Office.
Parked my car at the same place (yellow line area) which I used to park there
every year when I renewed my visa.
Walked up to the office and it was DONE within 15 mins...Super Fast!!
OMG...when I reached my car, I saw a slip of paper near the mirror there, I was
thinking it should be some promotion notice of certain goods.Unfortunately,
when I read carefully, it was a SUMMON from trafik polis...Oh gosh, it was my first
time to get a summon and one thing for sure, my wallet is going to have another hole
again.
I have just spend RM105 for my visa renewal and now I have to pay for the Summon.
Anyway, it cost me RM30 for the summon(not a big sum...but also money lol).

The second case is happened TODAY (23/8/2010). I went to fetch Ryan back from school and these two days Sibu was kept raining and some area has flooded.
Outside my house main road was bit flooded and it was jammed with so many cars, so
I thought of going back home from another route.However, I never knew that the place I intended to passby was so terrible...it was flooded very high and I got myself stuck in between. I should say " I am stupid", I should not drive all the way through
the flood water in the first place,but I also never realized that the water level
can be so high and it was not only flooded at that part of street, It was almost
the whole street was full with water.
I could not blame others..I should blame myself being " so stupid ",what to do....???
My heart was beating fast and my brain kept thinking, should I u-turn back in order to go back home...and If I were to u-turn back,of course, I have to pass through again the flooded area where I have pastby just now and for my car...it is pretty dangerous...my car engine can be easily stop working and I will be in the middle of the "SEA"(really looks like a sea..yellowish water).
Luckily ,there was another uncle who followed my car and he was stucked here with me.
Have a short chat with him on what is his next plan...at last, I decided to park my car at the road side(that car park has no water),then follow that Uncle's car back home with Ryan. This Uncle was kind enough to send me home...Thanks God!! I have a rescuer.
Before I went off to his car, I noticed that my Plat number(front part) has gone missing and I believe it was lying in the flood (the yellowish water)...what to do...
I have to spent Money again to make the new plat number,or else, police will catch me
again.
After reached home and have my lunch...my MIL sent me to nearby neighbourhood to
get the Plat Number done,cost me RM40.At that point of time, the sun was bright and the water level started to slow down...best time to fetch my car back home.So MIL
sent me back to the place where I parked my car. Still flooded,but at least the water started to slow down(not that high level).
Slowly, I drove back home safely. Thanks god....I managed to get my car back home.

I pray hard that no more bad things happened to me AGAIN.
My birthday is coming soon (this 27 Aug) and I wish all those bad things will bring
some good luck to me.Pray hard!!

Today, I let Ryan off from school...

Because he gets flu(runny nose) and cough.
It started last Friday and after home medication, shows
no recovery .So yesterday night, I decided to bring him
to Dr.Law for further medication.
Bill cost RM66 for flu,phelgm,Singulair(3 packs cost RM28) medicine
and 1x nebulizer.

Tonight, Ryan still need to go for 1x nebulizer.

This morning, his condition gets better. no runny nose since he woke
up and hope by tomorrow he can start school again.

My dear boy Ryan...have a speedy recovery!!

" Sand Castle and Christmas Tree "

I am back...after MIA for 3 weeks,at last I have time to update my blogs.

I have been busy with daily routine and was fall sick last few days(sore throat,fever and body-ache).
Today I feel much more better,just need to drink plenty of water to make my
throat feels comfortable.

Let's go back to the topic...It is another backdated post about Ryan's
creation.
My husband has been buying MacDonalds Set Meal just to collect the McD World Cup Contour Glass,for 5 consecutive weeks and he also bought 2 sets for each week.
The set meal came with ice-cream sundae and I kept all the ice-cream cups for
Ryan to play(as his toys).
Ryan has been using them to play bowlings,create sandcastle,christmas tree,etc...
Whatever he can think of,he will do it.So I just let him play around with the Mcd cup and see him play happily, I also feel happy.

Let's the picture do the talking now.......



**Sand castle**

**Christmas tree**

Do they look like SandCastle and Christmas Tree?
For sure...Ryan will say "YES".....
