Hubby’s brother hardly to get his loan approve lately. He was rejected by banks few times as he has bad credit history before. Nowadays, most of the banker has stricter on approving cheap loans due to the increasing of the bad debts. With the latest personal loans, it’s help those people who has financially problem or needs cash as an emergency use. But it also limit from the bank for the approval unless you have a good credit record. They believe that those who have bad credit history might create another bad debt for them.

They don’t want to take the risk without any collateral. But, secured loans are becoming very popular as people seek to take advantage of the increasing value in their properties to borrow money at the lower interest mortgage loans can provide and the longer repayment periods. Check out for more information regarding loans at thriftyscot.co.uk if you have any doubt of it.

Thanks for tagging me again, Mummy In Vain. Both of us need this kind of tag very much as to increase our page rank. And we always tag to each other when we receive tags from other mummies !!!

Anyway, back to the tag, wow, creatures I hate most….many and I can’t even list it out.

The two most creatures that I hate are :

1) WORMS - I’m very scare and hate it evem though it is small and they don’t bite me, but my body will start to shiver if I see one crawling here and there, I’m sure I will faint if a pail of worms throw to me like what happen in Fear Factor. They are so ugly and dirty to me!!!  

2) LIZARDS - They look horrible and I’m now even more scare of it. Why? I still remember when I flipped through newspaper, and the lizard was on my hand, I thought it’s just a rubber pen, but I shaked my hand and looked at it, it’s a lizard without tail. I jumped from the sofa and screamed non stop until hubby came and threw it. 

So far no worm crawl on my hands or body….ooopppsss, “touch wood”, I dare not happen to me forever…

Time to pass this on…..

Hubby told me that he liked to play air pistols or airsoft gun with his friends when he was a teenager.  He still likes to play it now even though he’s so busy with his work. He will arrange his time and went for the game with his friends in Kuala Lumpur.

Since hubby’s birthday is coming soon, I thought to buy him a special gift this year. How about an air pistol at airgundepot.com? They offer a wide variety of pellet guns, air rifles, air pistols, BB guns and bb gun accessories, as well as a great selection of airsoft guns, blank guns, and paintball. Their guns are top quality and are perfect for target practice, plinking, hunting and games. I’m sure my hubby will surprise and happy with his birthday’s gift this year….

I was back to my parents house with Marcus yesterday, feeling want to go there. So, I just told hubby that I will bring Marcus to my mother’s place and back after dinner. Then, my MIL has time for herself. My mother was very happy when she heard that I will go and visit her. She has prepared everything and just wait us to come. She didn’t worked yesterday too.

My father came back early yesterday as to play with his grandson. Now, Marcus has his new “play station”, he wants my parents switch on and off the light for him to see. At home, he will call my MIL to switch it for him. Don’t know why he likes this kinda of “play station” lately

How nice if I can enjoy reading my books on this kind of luxury sofa. Now, you can design your own Sofas in any shape, size, fabric and color through Coolsofa.com. They will built it for you and delivery straight in front your home.

There are also many selection of sofa and furniture for Nightclub Furniture, Hotel Furniture, Lobby Furniture, Modern Sofa and Funky Sofa. You will be amazed when you look all of it !!!

After breakfast with hubby’s relatives yesterday morning, we then went to my parents house as usual. I told hubby that I want to buy something at Cold Storage, Ipoh Parade. While we’re in the market, hubby received a call from mummyinvain’s hubby, they asked us to go to Teluk Batik.

Hubby asked me whether I want to join them. I didn’t bring anything for it except some clothes and diapers. Since hubby’s free, so I agreed with that. This is also one of my idea as I want to bring Marcus to the beach long time ago. We quickily paid for the bill and back to my parents house. I packed some clothes and food while my mother fed Marcus porridge before we set off.

We started our journey around 2pm, and Marcus was having his nap on the way to Teluk Batik for almost an hour. We all having fun at the seaside. Just see my lovely son, he was happy and excited to sit on the sand and played with the water. He’s never been to the beach before and he felt curious with the sand

So…..cute to see him sitting on the sand and playing with sand and water…..

Happy family……

Never bother where’s the camera, just looked down to play with the sand….

As I said before that hubby’s grandfather is in critical illness, he can’t eat for the past few days and even walked. So, everyone from outstation came back last night and get together to see him. We all thought that he can’t live anymore longer. We’re so sad and prayed hard for him.

But he looked fine this morning, he ate 2 bowl of noodles and even can walk as normal. I was surprised and happy, but is it a good or bad condition? I heard before that when a person nearly to heaven, he or she may looks even more healthy than before. As Chinese said “wui kong fan jiu”….is that true?

My MIL will visit her father at least once every day now. He’s 90 years old and having illness, very bad one. My MIL told me that her father (hubby’s grandfather) will die anytime from now. I was so shocked and sad when I hear that. But I can’t do anything as he’s old and having lots of health problem. Doctor said that he can’t do any operation and most of his organs are not function well anymore.

I heard from hubby that most of our relatives will come back from KL tomorrow as to see him. Everyone was so down and looks like waiting for the day come. Oh, please, not so fast…..Hubby’s grandfather told that it is good to leave as he no need have to surfer for the pain. 

I need to take care of Marcus and blog less nowadays. Thinking to go to my parents house for day time next week and back at night. So that my MIL has more time to stay with her father when I go to work.  

It is very important to have great headshots look, not even for artors, but also important for online dating, social networking and even for normal people like us. It is not easy to have a nice headshot if we are not a prefessional Headshot Photographer.

If you live in Los Angeles, you can get the best headshot photographer called Doug Hac. This month she will opening Headshot Studio because she wants to help launch the careers of Hollywood’s next biggest stars. Check out more for the site and you can have a snap on nice headshots photo on online dating profiles or other business event which need great portraits of it.

 

Marcus turned 18th months today. Is a bit hard for me to track his development milestones, but i will try to recap what I remember in my mind…..

Physical : weight : not sure, but I hardly to carry him nowadays, hubby also feel tired after carry him for few minutes. Will update when I bring him for 18 months injection.
height : update later
teeth : 10

Language :maa-maaa (mummy)
daaa-daa (daddy)
kakk….kakkk (when he see any indo maid)
caat (cat)
mum-mummm-mumm (eat)
yeahhh (his grandfather)
maaa-mmaaaa (his grandmother - same like when he calls mummy)

There’re other words where I’m not sure what he means at this moment…..he will make his own sound when he wants to talk or show us something.

Emotions & characteristic :Huh, he’s a non patient toddler, if he can’t catch the things he wants, he will scream. If he’s not happy with something, he will show us his fierce face and voice. But he will always smile when he gets up from bed. This is what I like to see him every day. When he wants something like food, he will look for my MIL and show the way to kitchen. If go “kai kai”, he will come to me or daddy, and doesn’t want his grandmother liao. He will follow what you do and make you laugh non stop. Sometimes, he will pull, cry, roll to get your attention.

If I say “where is pao pao(full) ?”, he will put his hand on his lung, don’t know why, I keep on telling him to show his stomach, but he still put his hand up.

Diet :Morning - milk, cereal, oatmeal, milo, cheese or bread (mix and match)
lunch - porridge or rice
night - porridge or rice
supper - milk, bread or biscuits

In between, I will give him fruit juices, fresh fruits, milk, or bread….I thought to start to give him fish oil soon.

Before Marcus’s born, I have decorated my living room with a rug. It made my living room looked more comfortable and luxuty after putting it on the floor. Too bad, the color of the rug not sharp anymore after vacuum and wash it many times.

Now, I decided to buy a new one to put it on the floor. It’s not only for the home decoration, it’s goof for my son as he can play his toys on the rug. Doesn’t it feel more comfortable when we sit or walk through it?

I came across a website at DesignerFloor.com where they have excellent selection of area rugs.  They provide wide variety of affordable Traditional, Southwestern, Animal and Theme/Fantasy styles which are the most popular patterns in the most popular colors. I like the below rug, it’s so colorful with creative design. I hope to get one, but I need to discuss with my hubby first as he is the one who pay for it.

I have so many tags need to do, actually I have did this tag before in my Personal’s blog, but I would like to do it again here as I want you all to know more about me - Lovely Mummy

So happy to be tagged, thanks my blogger’s friend - Kiasumum

Here’s the 8 things about Lovely Mummy :

1) My name is Soo Sook Fung

2) I’m 30 years old

3) I was born in Ipoh and staying here too now

4) I’m happily married to Mr Teng Soon Kin in the year of 2004 with an adorable kid - Teng Lit Ean in the following year.

5) I love shopping much, I will go shopping at least once per week with my shopperholic gang, if not I will go by myself

6) Start blogging like hell since I can write for paid posts :-), of coz after I have my lovely son too.

7) I like to sleep, before I deliver my son, I can eat, sleep, watch tv and sleep again every day, but it’s hardly for me now..

8 ) I’m an emotional person sometimes, only in front of hubby, don’t know why, but it goes fast like wind.

Hubby’s birthday is coming soon, I thought to buy him a gift, but I’m still thinking what I should buy for him this year. Since I like to shop online, I have look through many websites as to get me some ideas. It gave me a good idea when I came across this website at greattiming.net. They offer many styles including a black, bracelet, chronograph, diamond, digital and gold from a variety of manufacturers such as Casio, Invicta, Skagen and more!

Since hubby’s watch isn’t function anymore, I think it’s the best time for me to buy him a new watch. How about this Skagen watch? It looks so cool and luxury. Hubby should get one new watch now as he always late for his business appointment. I’m sure he will like what I buy for him as his birthday gift.

 

It’s a backdated post actually. I should be posted it last month My childhood friend has gave birth to a baby boy last month and he’s almost 5 weeks now. Hehehe….My friend is breastfeeding and she called herself as a “cow”, aiya, too many milk produce for her son. She told me that now she can pump out 10ozs milk each time. Quite a lot lah !!!! Last time I only managed to pump out 5ozs each time….

I asked my friend to send me her baby boy’s photo to me as I need to post it in my blog. But she sent me the above photo which I do not want lah. His mother showed me her “finger” in MSN why I only want her baby boy’s photo only. So, finally, I also posted both photos that she sent to me….I think she’s happy enough now, right?

I have two childhood friends and we’re having boy for our first kid….

Hubby and I will bring Marcus to attend a birthday party next Saturday. The birthday girl actually is my cousin and she is a stewardess. We hardly to meet each other as she always travel here and there.

I’m thinking what to buy for her as birthday gift now. Is quite headache sometimes as we do not know what actually she likes. Her mother told me before that she is a cat lover, so I think I will buy something about cat items for her.

I found a website at gildedpaw.com which is an online pet boutique offering luxury items for dog and cat. I have keep my eyes on the airline approved cat carriers, how about the below one? I’m sure she will love it much as she can bring along her cat when she travels.

Hubby’s not feeling well after work today. He felt his stomach got lots of wind and no appetize to eat anything. Just wanna sleep on the bed. He didn’t see doctor until he really feel bad. He asked me to fetch him to see doctor finally.

While we’re out just now, Marcus didn’t showed any crying mood, just sat on the floor and played by himself. Once we went out, he then cried like hell. My PIL can’t see their grandson crying non stop, so fetched him out for one round.

It’s a raining day and I dare not like him to go out. Once hubby and I were back, they’re out, so I can’t do anything and asked hubby to call them back earlier. Now, this little boy wants to follow us when we’re out, he knows that he can go “kai kai”….

Most of the women especially those who above aged 30, may scare of aging, just like me. Skin problems like wrinkles, sagging, fine lines and high skin sensitivities will be appeared without notice when our ages increased days by days. I’m worried and scared about my skin, as I’m a vain mummy. I don’t want my son see why mummy so many wrinkles and fine lines when he grows.

I’m very concern about skin care products and I’m looking for the right products like anti aging creams. I then came across this Shira anti aging skin care products. It’s using safe and effective methods to rejuvenate and repair skin. Each facial care product that they produce is tested carefully to ensure its effectiveness.

For anti-aging and wrinkle reduction, I will try their Vitality Oxygen, Omega 3, Collagen Elastin, or other facial care lines. Shira natural formulas are safe, healthy, and produce incredible results, so you need not have to worry. I’m thinking to buy myself and hope that I can get better looking skin in almost no time at all.

I was shocked when I see one of my post being rejected by PPP. Normally I can resubmit the post after the correction, but this is they don’t allow me to resubmit to them, and I need to remove my post from my blog

Actually it is my fault, and I’m so forgetful lately. I did two paid posts without any interim post between it. I told myself that I have to write an interim post after I finished the paid posts. But I forgot and ended up rejected by them…..so “geram”

The post is USD7, aiiikkksss…what to do, just deleted it !!! So, I learnt a lesson now….I should and must write non paid post before I grab the opps….to prevent that I forget again…. :-P 

I never been to Orlando, same as hubby too, but we plan to go there one day with Marcus and my relatives too. Many of my friends who been there told me that I must go there for vacation, it’s best for beach holiday and even their theme parks. I’m sure kids will like it much.

If I go with my other family members, I think choosing one of the Orlando vacation homes is the best choice as our accomodation. If we stay in Reunion Resort, we can visit to Orlando theme parks with disney only 10 minutes drive away. If you are planning to Orlando for vacation too, check out to the site. There’s a section where you can know all the lastest of Disney News.

Most of my friends said that my son is a good boy when he’s outside. I do not think so as he will cry, scream and yell when he surrounded with people even though they are his relatives. Nowadays, I can see he become more and more active, or I should say him naughty…..

Just see the photos above and you will know it. If no one there, I’m sure he will fall on the floor. Must keep looking at him every second now, if not he will fo some dangerous action like climbing out from play pan. At the meantime, I do not want to put him sleep on the floor, he will crawl here and there, touching all those wiring and others without any sleeping mood at all.

This another game that he likes to play. Playing and chasing the bottles around the house. And my MIL and I will be his maid, pick it out for him if the bottles roll under sofa. If he can take it himself, it’s fine, but if he is cannot do it, haha….crying lor….These bottles are his “friends”, he can play it by himself without anyone accompany him, even though it’s quite heavy, he can hold the bottle up by himself…..

Since I start blogging last year, hubby bought a new laptop and digital camera for me.  I will always bring my digital camera wherever I go in my handbag. I can say I can not live without my digital camera nowadays, as I really need it to capture my family moments, my son development milestones, outdoor events or the memories of fun outing and post it in my blogs.

I felt that capturing photos is one of my hobby, I like to capture every movement on what my son’s doing, it’s fun and excited. But my current digital camera does not have much function for me. I thought to have a new camera like Canon Rebel XTi, it save me $100 with the price now $799.99 only. Anyway, I need to talk to hubby first as he’s the one who pay for it. LOL!!!

Hubby and I went to visit our godparents and grandparents with Marcus just now. Hubby’s grandfather not feeling well lately, he didn’t has any meal last two days even he drank water or milk, his lung felt very painful. He’s the type who doesn’t like to see doctor until he really can’t stand for the pain.

Marcus was very happy when he reach there as hubbby’s godfather took out his son toy sets for him to play. Somemore godmother gave him to eat cake while playing the toys. Suddenly, godfather asked me where’s Marcus photos??? I have requested it long time ago and when can I get it? Aiya, me so forgetful about it and this is not the first time godfather asking for the photos. He needs to put it in his house. I told him that I will give him as soon as possible after I have developed it.

It’s been almost 10 years ago. My cousin’s a drug addict and not well educated. He got addicted to drug when he’s about 18 years old. I shouldn’t talk about him here thought it’s not a good news to expose it to others. I didn’t seen him many years ago and I was surprised and happy when I saw him during Chinese New Year this year. He looked like another new person with fresh look.

I want to share this out if those of your family or loved one who involved in drug addict. This is not the end of the day. My cousin always needed money to buy drug as to fed his addiction, he has been stealing for money and always went in and out from jail and drug rehab. He didn’t further his studies and doing nothing every day, just want money and buy drug. He really wasting all his youthful lfe and my uncle and aunty very sad to see their son become drug addict.

Though he has been in and out of rehab, but it doesn’t really help, I think he’s lack of his own self determination. They are many addicted to alcohol too beside drug. I have seen and known of people who totally rely on pain killers. They really can’t live without the drug and they are in a mess.

Do you know that addiction is a very serious social ills. There are many organization, be it profit and non profit, goverment or religious sector has try to set up resource to help these people. But most of them doesn’t have initiative to help or rescue themselves. However, there’s always light at the end of the tunnel. Just like 1800NoDrugs is a non profile referral service for you to seek painkiller addiction treatment.

So if you know of anyone who is facing the drug addiction, alcoholism or a drug relapse, as a family member or a friend, do encourage the individual to either fill in an online drug rehab assessment form or give a call to any counselor at 1-800-NO-DRUGS. You will be glad to know that help is available 24/7.

As a parents, we often very worried if our kid is also one of them. I totally hope this will not happen to me. I think education is the most important way to lead our kids to a proper path. But I was glad to see my cousin to begin his life with the brand new day now !!!

Time flies fast, Marcus’s cousin sister - Noel is 1 year old. We attended a birthday dinner at Restaurant Ocean East, Menglembu Saturday night. Hubby and I didn’t eat much as we need to take care this little naughty & timid boy. Even though hubby and I brought him out to see people, but he still cry when he see many people around him. This happened again during the dinner. But I still have time to take photos with my lovely Marcus and hubby too…

 

I do not know why he’s so timid when there’s lots of people. Each time he will cry or yell until hubby and I can’t really have a full dinner. Luckily my mother was there with me that night. At first, Marcus didn’t want my mother too, but when my mother carried him out, he started smile and stop his crying.

But there’s a time where he’s a good boy and sat down on high chair, played by himself with empty beer bottles. Not for long, then I need to feed him food or take other things for him. Frankly, hubby and I didn’t each much and I need supper when I’m back home.

Little Noel with her parents - changed her clothes into phyjamas as she has poo poo on her body even though she has wear diaper lah…..Luckily her mother did brought her clothes else need to go home…

It’s been quite a long time that I didn’t housekeeping for my house’s store room. The room was so messy with all those old stuffs especially tools. Hubby likes to keep his tools like hammer, skru drivers, other car accessories with plastic bags here and there. It looks so unmanaged and I really do not have to clean and arrange it until hubby told me that we need to buy new garage storage cabinets.

I can put all his tools inside the storage cabinet, it will be more systematic and hubby can find his tools easily when he needed. This storage cabinet looks stylish, functional and the most important thing that it is durable. You may check through the site to get more design for different cabinets.

Congratulation to Khang Ching, my dear childhood friend. She gave birth to a baby boy in Melbourne on 16th July 2007. As I know that Melbourne is winter time, oh, winter boy !!! So cool !!! This little prince looks like her mother. My son has another playmate when she comes back to Malaysia with her baby…..

She started her blog, KC’s World last month if I’m not mistaken. I hope that I can go to Melbourne with hubby and Marcus one day….hopefully end of this year !!! So, I can visit the baby and stay in my childhood friend’s house. Since this is her first baby and only her mother helped her out without confinement lady, I hope everything is fine.

I still remembered I bought Barney VCDs for Marcus when he was about 1 year old. At first, he seemed no interest at all with the VCDs I bought. I thought he didn’t like to watch and I wasted my money to buy 2 Barney VCDs. I tried open it few times, and finally he accepted it. And at last he was addicted to it.

He wants me to open for him every morning once he comes down from upstairs. He will point it to me or my MIL to open for him. If not, you can hear his crying, screaming voice. Since he always watch the 2 VCDs I bought, I have bought him another 2 Barney VCDs. It’s not cheap though it’s original VCDs.

Now, he can sit on the floor, high chair or even walker to watch it quietly. He will smile when he see Barney or Baby Bop come out….and he will point to the TV, sometimes he will dance and move his hands to express his happiness. So cute to see him in his cutie face…I love you, my dear boy !!!

I still remember I hosted my domain almost 4 months, this blog is dedicated especially for my son and family. Actually is my friend suggested and recommended me to own a domain. So, after thinking for a while, finally I decided to own one for it. I always want to look for or design in cartoon or kid template, as I does not like my current website design, but I lack of my time for it. Furthermore, I’m a computer idiot and worry if my website having any problem which I don’t know how to fix it back after I have changed it.

I have came across this Website Design Reviews, where they will review my website and help me to choose and create a nice and unique template for me. Sometimes I feel bored when I visit to other site which is also the same template or layout with mine. My friends who always visit my blog told me why not to change to different layout thought it is your own website.

Actually I like the deep orange or red along with the semi silver effect give it an elegant look. I also want to use different font style as it has a great effect on the user mind. This is the one I hope to use it in my website, use icons. Sound cool, right? A few well designed icons can make the difference to the overall design and enhance the attractiveness of the website design.

It’s just start with $14.95 for the design, I think I will consider it to make my kid’s blog look nicer than before. But now, I need to earn more money from sponsored post first!!!

Today is 20.07.2007, its a very special number and date. it also my sister’s birthday. Here I wish her HAPPY BIRTHDAY !!! Oh, no present for her coz I didn’t go out to today…hehe

My sister doesn’t ask me for any gift or present after she’s married. Somemore she’s going to be a mummy end of this year. Wow, it’s a baby girl after scanning….But she seemed like baby boy much than girl. She wants a baby boy just like Marcus. She also wants her baby looks like him….HUH!!!!

She always ask me about parenting topics like :
- what to buy
- what brand is the best
- how pain was it during contraction and etc
- should I take epidural

She’s so worry and scare now. She should calm down herself. Talk easily, that time I also very nervous and scared too…Hopefully everything is fine to her. Marcus will has another playmate end of this year. LOL!!! And I will be aunty !!!

My friend from US called me last month, we have chit chatted for almost one hour. She told me that she just moved to a new house with her hubby and kid. She has bought a waterbed for few years and recommended me to have one. It is not just comfortable surface for you to sleep on, but also regarded as one of the healthiest of sleeping on waterbed. My friend told me that her daughter likes to jump on her waterbed and sleep on it.

My Water Shop has been retailing for waterbeds and related products almost 30 years. They provide customers with top quality brand name and discount prices. Check out more information through the site if you are interested with waterbed and its accessories.
