I am back ... I am back ...

Dear my friends,

I am back to Sibu lastnight...still feel tiring after the long waiting at the airport,sit at the airport for about 6 hrs(transit in KL before back to Sibu).
Both me & Ryan really enjoyed ourself in Medan for the past 2 months...but something SAD happened 1 day before CNY. We expected to have a nice gathering dinner with my hubby plus my family during CNY eve...suddenly I got a news that hubby was not joining us due to his passport validity(less than 6 mths). Although my hubby has tried so many ways....all came to '0' and my poor hubby has to celebrate CNY eve by himself in KL. Hubby also couldn't join Ryan's 2nd birthday party. hiks hiks hiks........hiks hiks hiks.

I will try to update my blogs soon....so let's check it out !!!

Countdown for CNY & Ryan's 2nd b'day

Times flies fast....CNY is coming soon and also Ryan's 2nd birthday.
CNY falls on 26th Jan'09 and Ryan's birthday falls on 1st Feb'09. We will be celebrating Ryan's birthday earlier coz his daddy will be back to Sibu on 30thJan'09. Still yet to decide whether to celebrate on 28 or 29th of Jan'09. We will just invite my own family members.

This is 2nd time Ryan celebrating his CNY and his birthday in Medan. He is very very happy spending his holiday trip in Medan for these 2 months.

***Wish Everyone Happy Chinese New Year in Advance***

Away from blogging

Dear my friends,

I will be away from blogging for these 2 months as I am on my holiday trip back to my hometown Medan. Of course, I have lots things to be updated...need lot of times to update into the blog. So....let's check out my blog again in Feb'09.

I will only update my blog after I am back to Sibu on 10th Feb'09.

***Happy New Year to all my friends***

Potty Training Progess

After being trained for almost 5 months, at last my efforts are paid off.

Pee Pee:
Ryan will tell me when he wants to pee. I have monitored for this whole month, he will always come to me/take the pot & pass it to me when he has the urge to pee pee. But this notty boy like to wait till last min, then will pee pee. Sometimes he will run & run in the living room while I am taking the pot for him to pee.You can imagine how notty he is. As Ryan drinks plenty of water,give him water using sippy cup every hourly, so he will pee very frequently. Not to forget about the barley water, he will drink 2 cups of barley water (without sugar) everyday. Ryan likes to drink barley water alot. Ryan will only stick to diaper during nap & night time & outings.

Poo Poo:
Recently I can see some development in poo poo training, Ryan will give me a sign that he is going to do his big biz. He will point at the pot and wanna sit there. However, there is a time he will bluff me too. He will take the pot,take off his pant & sit at the pot for 10 mins, but nothing is there. Pengsan ** another notty act!

Hope Ryan will be able to complete his potty training when he reaches his 2nd birthday in 2 months time!!

My Holiday Trip

The Big Day that I am waiting for....at last comes & tomorrow afternoon Lex,Ryan & I will depart to JB,overnight there for 2 nights(5-6Dec) before going to Spore on Sunday(7 Dec). I will be in Singapore from 7-10Dec & we will be back to my hometown Medan on 11Dec together with my sis & BIL. We are taking Jetstar direct from Singapore - Medan & the flight will take abt 1hr 5mins, instead of taking Airasia from JB-Medan(this flight was cancelled & lucky Airasia has done the refund back to my hubby's credit card).

I will be staying at Chinatown area, renting a room(more cheaper compared to hotel) while my other buddies Chin & SuYing will be staying at hotel.

Our plan :go to Orchard Rd,Sentosa,Singapore Zoo,Singapore Flyer,VivoCity(@Harbourfront MRT),Bugis area,CityHall area and makan-makan.

It can be a tiring journey for me & hubby as we are bringing Ryan along. This year, we are not going to bring his stroller along as Ryan refused to sit at stroller nowadays. He wants to walk by himself. We hope he will be cooperative during the whole holiday trip.

Wish Us Have A Pleasent Holiday !!

NB: Agnes,SuYing & Chin - see u gals soon!!

Wedding Ceremony

Last Sat 29th Nov 2008 was my BIL's Big Day. I have to wake Ryan up early in the morning around 7am as the bride&groom would reach home around 7 plus. I have to rush and get Ryan ready before they reached home. Everything was ready by 7.30am.
Not to forget snapped a family picture for memories and Ryan also posed with the wedding car.
At night, we have a simple wedding dinner at the restaurant. Ryan started to get fussy and cranky while dishes started to serve. Both daddy & I having a hard time as Ryan refused to sit at high chair.No choice, he sat at either his daddy's lap or my lap. After 5 dishes were served, at last we decided to bring Ryan out for a walk as he seem getting impatient to go out for a fresh air. He was so happy can walk here and there till the dinner was ended. Such a tiring day!!

Lotus Root Porridge

Lastnight I was keep thinking what to cook for Ryan this morning as his breakfast & lunch ?? For the past 2 days, he was having meesuah chicken soup. Let's open up the fridge and check out what vege left inside the fridge...Oh, I saw lotus root. I remember I did read about Lotus Root porridge recipe . I wanna give a try to Ryan .... not sure he will like it or not.

After cutting the lotus root into small pieces, put them into boiling water, add wolfberries and red dates. I used chicken breast meat to add the sweetness to the soup. Cooked for 45mins. For your info, lotus roots are still crunchy after cooking for 45mins. Therefore I decided not to put the lotus root into the porridge when I cooked the porridge this morning.Kept the lotus root soup overnight.

This morning, I used this soup base to cook the porridge for Ryan. I did added in the chicken breast meat,wolfberries and red dates into the porridge too. It turns out to have a very sweet taste for the porridge. Ryan loves to eat these porridge too.

Sorie no picture for sharing this time as I was too busy & forget about it. Will do it next time!

SweeT SmiLe For The DaY

Smile Smile ... What is Mommy trying to blog about ?? When I was browsing thru Ryan's pictures collection tonight , I noticed some of his pictures are full of Sweet Smiles.
Therefore I decided to drag out some of the nice smile pictures and started to do my Smile Project. Frankly speaking, I am not so familiar with Power Point(almost forget how to use it) ... take few hours for me to figure out how it works and at last my project is done.
Phew ***.... Do I feel satisfied with my own creation ??? No comments. I need my Blogger Friends to give me some comments. Feel to dropby....*-*

Happy Weekend 2 all my dear Friends!!

Playing with Handphone (part 2)

Ryan is playing with my handphone again ... his itchy hand like to press the front button of my handphone which can play out some songs (rocks song). I found out that Ryan like to listen to Rocks song like Bon Jovi. Apart from pressing the handphone button, Ryan also like to dig out the button. All these 3 buttons were re-attached before using double tape *** I plan to re-decorate my handphone while I am going to Singapore next month.

I Love BARNEY

Musical Barney - thks to Grandma for this lovely pressie!

Lastweek ,my MIL bought a Musical Barney for Ryan on her trip to JB.

I love you
You love me
We're a happy family
With a great big hug
And a kiss from me to you
Won't you say you love me too?

When Ryan saw it for the 1st time, he was very happy. Then I was told my mil that Barney can sing a song, So I pressed Barney's tummy and Ryan kept say Mai Mai Mai (don't want) when he heard the song. He did not want the Barney to sing a song...OMG, my boy is very weird. I thought he must be happy when heard this song, but then....it is did not happen this way.
Then he carried Barney here and there and even sleep with Barney on that night. From that day onward, I never pressed the Barney's tummy since Ryan did not like it to sing a song. Everytime I asked him : Ryan, where is your Barney??He quickly go find and showed me his Barney.
Last few days, he even played his Barney on my bed...my bed has become his playground. I quickly grabbed my camera and snapped some pictures while he was busying with his Barney.

I hope one day can bring Ryan to see real Barney show. Ryan sure very very happy if really can see the show. He loves to listen to Mother Goose rhymes, so now I become the fate Mother Goose, have to remember all the lyrics and sing songs for Ryan everyday before his nap time. See Ryan happy, Mommy also happy. It brighten up my DAYS !!

Ryan has 2 barneys at home : Hand puppet Barney and Musical Barney. I hope can get whole set of Barney & Friends soft toys (Barney,Baby Bop,BJ & Riff)for Ryan on my coming Dec trip in Singapore.
Lets check out Barney USA website - http://www.barney.com/usa/friends.asp
