Since young, Vyktore is a greedy boy. Although he’s a picky eater (he eats only rice, no noodles), but nevertheless we brand him greedy. He’d stuff himself silly with a mouthfull of food whenever we let him handle the food himself. Usually, I won’t let him feed himself cause I’m worried that he chokes. But we need him to improve his dexterity, so no choice, finger food we still let him to try feed himself.

He’s pretty good at feeding himself now, except that we still have the same problem. If you give him a piece of Jacob’s Biscuit, he probably can finish it with 2 bites :|. That’s how greedy he can get LOL. And if you give him honey star, he not only take 1, but 3-4 and stuff them into his mouth. Then he’ll take another 3-4 and stuff into the mouth again :|….All in 8!!

What drives me up the wall is when he chewing half way, he’d have difficulty to swallow, then he opens his mouth and start spitting the food :|. Or sometimes there will be juices coming out from the sides of the mouth when he’s eating chocolate/fruits…*ants inviting scene for sure*.

This pic of him, he was actually eating a coconut tart. I sat there with him and kept reminding him swallow first, but he keeps putting it into his mouth and after a while, he pouted. Looks like a squirrel to me haha..but lucky he manage to swallow all.

extremely backdated…

OK, this is very very backdated. But if I don’t post it, probably Mr. Hon will get upset, so have to wrte lah. So Mr. Hon got a pingat (medal) from the present King since last year during the King’s Birthday. But it wasn’t until March they contacted us for the medal presentation. But then again, that time he weren’t around. Hence we skipped that session. In May again we received the letter and so happen he was around, so we finally went to get the medal from the King.

The day before, he went for rehearsal at the Palace. This is not the National Palace in KL, but the Palace in Putrajaya. Whoa, I didn’t know the King has a summer palace there :|. I thought his summer palace should be at some Island LOL.

Anyways, there’s seriously alot of protocols when you are in the Palace, can’t do this, can’t do that. Must walk like this, must sit liddat….gosh….and here can take pics, there can’t…must wear what colour, bla bla..endless list.

So I was Mr. Hon’s guest. They only allowed 1 guest, so I was there to be photographer cum guest. The Palace, I’d say it’s not that grand, but nice lah with all the chandeliers, especially the Balairong Seri (where the installation took place and I couldn’t take pics).

After the installation, we had buffet lunch with rest of the crowd, then we cabut from there. I manage to go around and took some PICS of the Palace. Overall, it was a good experience being there, afterall, when will he get a medal again…maybe not anymore LOL.

Updated: This pingat is known as PPN, Pingat Pangkuan Negara. No carry whatsoever title one, just a medal. But we also can call, Perlahan Perlahan Naik Medal LOL.

Have you heard of hoodia? This first time for me. Hence I went to search over the net what is this Hoodia about. I thought it must be some new product or some kind of festival we celebrate?? Nah…totally wrong. It’s a kind of plant found in desert!! The outlook of this plant is so similar to cactus that one could have pass them off as cactus family, but they are not. They are also categorised as medicinal plants. Probably scientist needs to spend some time to find out what are the medical benefits we could extract out from this plant.

I’m seriously starting to categorise myself as frequent traveller thanks to the many ticket sales going on with the Airlines. This year itself, I’ve travelled once overseas, and there’s gonna be at least 2 more to come. Then in country itself, so far there’s 2 and probably 2 more to come. I enjoy travelling, apart from getting sick of the flight. But another thing that worries me is the Hotel. When you get good hotel deals, it’s alright. But if you so happen booked the wrong hotel, you are totally sold. And because we are budget travellers, we don’t want to spend too much money on hotel, rather spend it on food. So what should we do…book early, and hopefully doesn’t clash with any holidays/events, then the rates won’t be so damaging.

Years before when I first left school, I could still remember my first job was to be a research assistant in some Quantity Surveying Firm. They are in construction industry. I find it rather interesting to work in such company as I was surrounded by samples of tiles, paints, bathroom fittings and what nots..even carpets too!! Sometimes, I’d just sit there browsing thru the catalog and admiring those expensive fittings such as the Grohe faucets, Armitage Shanks faucets and so many more. There were also times when I needed to call up the suppliers to get their new products sampling.

A lot of people invest heavily for their insurance for fear that in case something happens, they still have money to live for rest of the life. If they don’t live, then their descendants will at least have a chunk of money after that. But is that necessary? Well, that’s not the question I’d want to ask myself. For me, I think you should get some insurance just for coverage sake. Just ensure you have term life Insurance, Health Insurance. But the sum is really up to you.

of my children…

not only Faythe, but even Vyktore…

cause I’ve got Cheena eye lashes….

but they’ve got very long eye lashes…

that they won’t even need the Lengthening Mascara to make it longer…

I’ve always admire their eye lashes from young. Sometimes I’m very naughty I’ll stroke the eye lashes when they are sleeping…kakaka…Vyktore has even longer eye lashes than Faythe. They follow Daddy’s gene. Daddy has long eye lashes too. So one night when Vyktore was sound asleep, I went to take my camera and camwh*re his eye lashes haha…

Sometime ago, I made a promise. And then I totally forgot bout the promise. Till I received a sms…Hey dear, you coming for my ROM (registration of marriage) tomorrow? I was like oh shiaks!!!…And so I called her up and told her yes I’m coming. Lucky I didn’t had anything up over the weekend. It was lazy Saturday weekend :).

Mohanaa, this dear friend of mine, I’ve known her since Primary school. And we were in the same class in Form 1-5. She even sat next to me in Form 3. That’s how long we’ve known each other. Psst…if you think she looks familiar, yes…she is a newscaster with RTM (If she’s still there..). So if you watch the 10pm news at night, you will probably see this familiar face. And not forgetting, she was the Miss Malaysia India some years ago hehe…

So I MSN my partner in crime, Sue (I’m very amazed ini pompuan can still go photoshoot when preggy 8 months LOL). Then she think think..next day she say yeah..lets go. But before we went for the photoshoot, we ended up @ Jalan Ipoh to buy some accessories for our Camera. Yippie..I got new tripod :).

The ROM was held in Holiday Inn Glenmarie Subang. It was something different, cause usually ROM is done at the Temple etc…

We were there late, and it was raining cats n dogs…bummer!! So anyhow, by the time we arrived, the make up was almost done. So better not waste time and started shooting. We weren’t the official photographer, hence it wasn’t so pressure :).

One thing I really love bout Indian wedding/events, is the colourful sarees they wear. It makes the photo looks more lively :).

The whole signing the paper thingy only lasted 5 mins. And they were done. Then the guest had their tea at the lounge. Very simple ROM event.

So what else, we also sama sama makan :). And here are some SHOTS I manage to snap while I was at the event. Her wedding is in Dec, I’m very tempted to snap photos again…lets see how.

I did another round of Pregnancy Photoshoot 2 weeks ago. This time round it was for Paik Ling. We’ve planned for this very long ago and finally we got to do this before she pops.

Since she stays nearby, it was really a blessing I don’t need to get up so early :). So I sneak out around 745am while both my kids were still in wonderland (I’ve told Faythe the night before I’m off for a shooting). I arrived at Paik Ling’s place close to 8am and had breakfast there as well :).

We wanted to shoot some photos for Bryan, Paik Ling & Hubby, but we didn’t manage to do any at all :(. He wasn’t at all impressed with my giant camera in front of him LOL and kept avoiding me haha…

We had a lot of fun with Paik Ling though. We did most of the shots at the backlane for outdoor shooting. I like her housing area, backlane also so beautiful LOL. Then we went back to her house and did more shooting in her room. Most of the time it’s just Paik Ling, and some shots with her hubby, VT.

This photoshoot, we made it very fun and tried out many things. Paik Ling was very co-operative with me when I suggested some gila shots just to kick things around :).

OK, enough of all the cerita, HERE are the shots taken on that day. My fav shot being the last one in the album, with her shocking face LOL. She’s really very expressive.

I received this bottle of free product to review sometime ago. In fact very long ago. Complimentary from Skin MD Natural. I got very excited and straightaway hand it over to a colleague of mine. She has extremely chronic skin conditions due to eczema. It has became so bad that her skin turned dark and it peels off. And on and off I could see her scratching till the skin bleeds.

Hence I asked her to try this lotion to see if it works. In fact she has tried so many other Lotions that she almost have given up. She gave this cream a try and after 1 week, I could see some improvements. She feels less itch and the skin is more moist, not as dry as before.

Whoa really works like miracle. But what was the outcome in the end? Well, after a few weeks, her allergies return and she had pretty bad outbreak that she had no choice but to stop using the product. Not that she has got allergy towards this miracle cream, but apparently, the environment she’s living at needs to be clean up, that is the culprit of such outbreak. Nothing to do with food at all.

I guess she’ll start using the cream again once she has her house clean up and see how it goes. All the best to her :).

I gave those small packet of sample a try for my kids. I can feel the softness itself.
