Going Back To Ipoh

I have finally decided to take a private taxi back to Ipoh tomorrow.  Hubby who has been very busy with work lately has agreed to take a day’s off to drive us all back but I didn’t want him to speed all the way to Ipoh and speed all the way back to KL.  It would be too dangerous for him.  So I am asking him to spend RM180 on a taxi and I only trust this particular taxi driver as he has been driving my mum to and fro Ipoh for the past 5 years.  I had taken a ride on his taxi once and I trust his driving skills. He also doesn’t drive the old fashion bulky Mercedez taxi that emits nauseating fume.  He drives either Perdana or continental cars and I don’t mind paying a wee bit more for the comfort. 

I can’t wait to indulge in all my favorite Ipoh food.  I really miss home as I have not gone back for almost 1.5 years.

Alycia’s Birth Photos

In commemoration of Alycia’s 5th birthday on 5th December, I am posting some of her birth pix here :


When the anesthesiologist passed her to me whilst I was still on the OT table, Alycia winked at me. My heart melted. I could remember very vividly that Alycia’s face was as white as snow, her lips were very red and her hair had tinges of blond color. She was very chubby.  She was one of the most beautiful babies I had ever seen.


My anesthesiologist, who is also our friend, passing Alycia to me.

Giving birth to Alycia was the happiest day of my life.  It was a dream come true for me as I had thought I would never be able to carry a baby of my own in my own arms.

Thank you God for Alycia, my precious baby!

Spring Cleaning My Closet

When Baby C was asleep during her afternoon nap yesterday, I did some spring cleaning of my closet. I have not gone back to my parents’ home for almost 1.5 years and my closet is pretty messy. I found some old baby clothes wrapped inside plastic bags, all chucked and squeezed inside my closet. They once belonged to Alycia and Sherilyn. I am glad I found them because Baby C can wear them now. I also found some unused diapers but I dared not let Baby C use them as the diapers are more than 3 years old. I am not sure if it’s going to cause a baby any harm for using expired diapers. Moreover, Baby C is so prone to getting UTIs and her diaper area has to be kept sterile all the time.

I also found my old love letters which hubby (then boyfriend) wrote to me. There were also some old greeting cards that hubby handmade and drew them for me more than 2 decades ago, when I was just 14 years old! Also found a bag of items that looked like some NFL Merchandise which belonged to hubby. No wonder hubby kept telling me that he could not find some of his clothes and toiletries. He must have left them behind at my parents’ some time ago. I also fished out some of the sexy XS size tops that I wore during my pre Baby C days. They still look very new but too bad I can’t squeeze into them anymore and I don’t think I will ever be able to squeeze into them again.

I Want A New Laptop

It took me 45 minutes to upload 4 pictures from my brother’s laptop into my blog today. This would normally only take 5-10 minutes from my own PC. My brother’s old laptop is driving me crazy. He seriously needs to upgrade the memory of his laptop or get a data integration software. If he doesn’t plan to do that, I am thinking of getting myself a new laptop. If I plan to travel back to my hometown very often, it’s really a good idea to get myself a laptop instead of using my brother’s laptop that is so unreliable and terribly slow. I can barely get work done using his old junk lappie. I get really frustrated each time I use his laptop. My New Year resolution is to work hard and save enough to buy myself a new laptop!

World’s Most Beautiful Pearls

I read somewhere that says that according to the Astrology, the pearl belongs to the Moon and the zodiac sign ‘Cancer’. In the Astrology, the Moon influences human mind a great deal. Pearls pacify passion and mental inconsistency and strengthen the heart. In traditional Chinese medicine, pearls are grinded into fine powder and consumed to treat a wide range of disorders from abdominal diseases to diseases related to the eyes, throat, heart, urine, hydrosol, cough, scarcity of calcium, indigestion, tiredness, physical weakness, diseases pertaining to female sex and general diseases.

Apart from having medicinal value, pearls make very elegant jewelry and they are very versatile too. They can be worn at formal occasions and are the perfect jewelry to be worn by brides and bridesmaids. Pearl jewelry is a beautiful accent to the wedding dress, the sexy dinner dress or the office suit. Pearl jewelry can be worn by women of all ages from the young to the old.
