A Homemaker’s Diary

This Fisher-Price Rainforest Jumperoo has been a Godsent gift for me these days…especially when I need ample time to grab some instant lunch (I was on Sri Kulai microwave-able 4-minutes meals most of the time).

At least with the son put in the Jumperoo, I don’t have to be worried of him being tergolek, tertiarap on the floor. He can roll over to the left or to the right, but still is unable to turn back to the normal position, thus the cry for help..huhu!

I hope he can sit unsupported soon so that he won’t be so bored lying down or being on his tummy most of the time. Of course the best remedy for him to stop crying will be a hug from Mama, berdukung all the time walking around the house.

With an almost 7 kg weight, lugging him around a few hours a day, I don’t need to lift dumb bell anymore..huhu!

I bought this before I delivered my son many months ago. The intention was to use it while breastfeeding him. But since he nursed almost all day and night long, I resorted to breastfeed him while lying down.

So since I hardly even use this pillow for nursing (and have no intention to keep it for the next baby), I am letting it go for RM100. I bought this from ebay and with the international postage I think it costs me even more than RM100, but I couldn’t find the transaction receipt.

Last week I checked at Metrojaya, they are selling the non-travel type for RM188.

Please check out the details in myBrestfriend official website – Travel Pillow.

This is how it will look like once you inflate the travel pillow and put on its cover. The design of the cover is sunburst (in soft green).

For those who are new to all these breastfeeding “gadget” you can check out the features that most moms will find useful.

For anyone interested to buy, kindly leave comment with your valid email address, and I will get back to you soon.

It’s that time of the year again, when people get wed and hold their wedding reception. As a matter of fact, an ex student of mine already invited me for her June reception a few months ago. Thus prompting me to dig this old picture of orange wedding we attended in March this year.

I am not sure what is the favorite color theme for 2009 wedding, have to go to several wedding to come to a strong conclusion, but my guess is it will be something in golden tone. Like last year (2008) the favorite color is turqoise or something blue-tone.

To all getting married this year, may you be blessed and strong enough to brave the journey of married life, it could be a sweet experience throughout but can’t expect it to be less bitter. Whatever obstacles that may come your way, hold on and endure it together, as that’s the real test of love you have for each other.

On Sunday we went to Maxis Centre in KLCC to return the USB modem and get the Power WiFi package. It was the first trip for 3 of us to KLCC, not that we frequent that place that often even back then as a couple. I feel that KLCC is too crowded with all kind of people, making it really serabut to shop for anything..heh! Our favorite shopping malls are Subang Parade, Ikano and The Curve.

We managed to get everything settled (despite the stupid and rude customer service) and quickly left KLCC and headed to The Curve. Initially I was planning to check out forward facing car seat since our little one seems to be really restless in his current seat nowadays.

We went into Metrojaya and I asked Hubby to put our son in the Fisher Price Rainforest Jumperoo, and he loved it! huhu…Hubby was all into buying it (Hubby being tak sampai hati..hehe) but since the box is big, I thought we should go around and do more shopping before we get back into Metrojaya and buy it.

So off we went to Ikano, had tea at Kluang Station, went to Cold Storage and bought solid food for our son (some Gerber cereal rice, Gerber organic applesauce and Farley’s Rusk – not sure which one he’ll like since it’s his first solid food) and then we went back to The Curve to buy some items from Anakku boutique.

Since the current house is bigger and it takes me longer to reach him upstairs (and the possibility of not hearing him cry if we watch TV in the living hall), we decided to buy a baby monitor. Plus there is 10% discount in Anakku. Bought a few more long and short pants for his baju basahan and Sebamed cream (was looking for BUDS diaper rash barrier cream but the Mothercare outlet there are out of stock) and then we headed back to Metrojaya. I decided to sign up for Metrojaya member card as well since the Jumperoo is kind of expensive (sayang pulak kan the bonus point)..in fact I have been planning to be their card member for so long but since we hardly shop in Metrojaya before so no point in establishing membership..heh!

As I am updating this entry, my son is enjoying his Jumperoo..giving me a few good minutes to have some ME-time..hehe!

For those who wonder what’s keeping me quiet these few days, yes, we have moved to our own home and were not able to be online. Now that we have Maxis Broadband at home, I can finally update this blog.

The first choice was to get Celcom Broadband, but because it was hard to get the modem and gateway, we decided to take Maxis Broadband. After all I have been Maxis user for ages, the whole thing took less than an hour, and by the time we reached home from Sunway Pyramid, the line has been activated.

Even yesterday Hubby managed to work from home while supervising the laminated floor contractor. Hubby’s work space is now ready. Time to move in the work desk, the filing cabinet and his gadgets..keh keh. Pity there’s no air cond with less than 1 HP otherwise we could install one in his “bilik kerja”.

I am still waiting for Astro to call me to set the appointment to install the satellite dish..lembab la Astro ni…huhu! The normal TV reception is really, really bad and we have been surviving on TV3 bunyi-bunyian..(I have to layan Suria Kasandra at night..boring!)

Well, that’s it for now…Oh, great news, I got a Fagor dryer to help making my washing task faster and this Thursday, people from majalah Feminin & Famili is coming over to shoot step by step for bunga telur for their wedding related article..(apsal aku tak penah dgr pon majalah tu? huhu!)
