Farewell, Bangkok~

We left with a very heavy heart... I had to try very hard to hold back the tears in my eyes.

Us with Driver, Uncle Chu Sin and Help, Auntie Lakshmi

We're going to Miss so many things that we loved in Bangkok.
We've made so many precious memories.

But we'll bring them with us wherever we go!

I'd like to shout out~

I ♥ Bangkok!!!
Going back to where we came from, where we belong... 落葉歸根...

Tyler is 7 Months Old~

Milestones:

• 2 lower front teeth emerged
• Able to sit without support
• Able to be on all fours (push UP position) trying to crawl but so far only backwards.
• I'm not sure if this is considered as a milestone. Tyler is beginning to show signs of separation anxiety. Each time he sees me walk away he starts to whine and cry. Even when someone else is holding him. He prefers me or Tiki to sooth him to sleep.

Mealtime:

• Feeding formula about 3 to 4 times a day. 4oz to 8oz depending on his mood~ ;)
• Daily intake of 15 to 20oz.
• 2tbsp of Fruits & yogurt or baby rice for brunch.
• 1/2 cup of porridge (usually 1oz of protein, 1oz to 2 oz of veges, and 1oz of rice with sprinkles of ikan bilis, cheese)
• He's able to sit in the high chair during mealtimes now... But he gets distracted easily...

Sleep:

• Able to nap a longer period without waking every 30 to 40mins. Can nap up to 1 and half hour without stirring. Requires 3 naps a day still... He gets cranky or hyperactive when being deprived of nap.
• Sleep time is being gradually extended to about 7 to 7.30pm to prep him for changes in lifestyle.
• Still needs soother during all sleep. Sometimes wakes up for it.

7 Month Check:

Dr T. advises on the amount of solids to introduce to Tyler. Tyler's weight still lies within the 50 percentile so there's nothing much to worry about. Plus he's always jumping and playing happily. He seems to meet most of the milestones at his age. He took his 3rd shot of Pnuemococcal vaccine. Screamed for about 3seconds until I hold him up. =)
This is the last time we visit Dr T... We're all pretty sad because she's fantastic and I don't think we can ever find someone as good or nice as her in Singapore... We're definitely going to miss the service of BNH hospital cos it's definite that we won't be getting anything close back home...

Weight: 8.39kg

Height: 69.5cm

Happy Meal Day!

I'm SO happy today!

Yes! I'm lovin' it~

Although milk intake wasn't THAT good... At least he had 18oz today... Very minimum~

BUT!

Tyler did a FANTASTIC job with solids today! *clap clap*

He had at least 3tbsp of Banana Pear Yogurt for lunch after 2oz of milk.
(1tbsp of plain Yogurt, 1 cube of Pear puree and 1 small Banana)
This is the 2nd day I've given him yogurt and he seems to love it!! I had to feed him in lightning speed cos he gulp down so fast! It took me about 10 mins to finish feeding him... =)

For dinner tonight, he had 1/2 of a rice bowl of pureed Pumpkin Porridge after 5oz of milk!
(1 cube Pumpkin puree, 1 tsp white rice, 1 tbsp brown rice mix, ikan bilis/soybean stock)
I know he loves porridge and I sure hope he will keep loving the dish!

I don't even know how to describe my joy when I see Tyler polish off the food I've prepared for him... Hopefully he'll establish solids real soon and start to love and appreciate food like Mummy & Daddy do~ Then I can practice and improve my culinary skills!

Tyler is 6 Months Old~

Baby Tyler is 6 Months Old!

Milestones: 

• Able to flip over and back
• Able to sit like a tripod for a few moments
• Able to reach out for his toys
• Able to display unhappiness when toy is being taken away
• Laughs out loud during play time
• Talks out loud too
• Trying very hard to crawl
• Sings when he's sleepy

Mealtime:

• Currently putting Tyler in sling to be able to walk and swing about while he drinks milk (worked well initial week... getting bad once again and I seriously am out of ideas) 
• Merely 15 to 20oz a day.
• Taking about 2teaspoons of puree with baby rice for lunch.
• Taking about 1tablespoon of baby rice with veges or fruits. 
• (Doesn't like to sit in high chair... Only feed well when being held on lap.)
• Love baby rusk & finished the whole piece! But it's full of sugar, so I'll try not to give him so often.

Sleep:

• Still requires nap of about an hour every 2hour or so wake time.
• Gets sleepy by 6.30pm but getting difficult to settle as he still wants to play.
• Toss and turn to tummy down (very worrying initially... had to keep an eye every so often just to check that he's breathing)

6 Months Check:
Dr T is still worried about the amount of milk he's taking. Being 20oz as the minimum standard. Also, his weight gain is not ideal. (I AM VERY STRESS!!!) He's healthy and happy... (I'm not!) I'll try to encourage more solids. He was playing, shouting and laughing so loudly in the Dr's office while playing with the nurse! She was swinging him towards a string of hanging toy birds... However much he's like me, this part about birds is definitely not from my end! So, he was given 2nd dose of Rota virus and also a combo shot of Hep B, etc. He screamed with pain for about 5secs and stopped to a 3sec whimper after I picked him up.

Weight: 8.14kg
Height: 69.5cm

Am sick and tired of listening to useless advise about feeding and telling me not to worry. (If he's your kid, will you not worry?! URGH!!!) No constructive answers to my problems. Nothing's ever gonna get better... it'll only get worse! No use praying because it I have no faith anymore~ it's been 4 months! I'm tired... physically and mentally... Realley tired~

Solids at 4M4W1D!!

Today, I decided to start Tyler on his First Taste!

Initially, I wanted to start him on banana... BUT! My help accidentally placed the unripe bananas in the fridge last night~

Anyway, CARROTS!!
I steamed and blended a medium sized carrot in the AVENT Steam Blender (so easy to use!) Then added some formula milk into the puree.

I sat him in the Bumbo chair, turn on the TV, put on his Big Boss Bib and started flying the first flight of solids into the runway.... He opened his mouth and then, Tyler's expression was... BLANK! I think he was shocked at the foreign taste then when he realised, he gave the "sour" squinting face... It was quite funny... Just ashame I don't have extra hands to video this... Then he started pushing them out with his tongue and needless to say, I pushed them back... We played the game of spitting and pushing back in~ haha! I think he probably swallowed at least 1/3 of the portion of roughly 2 teaspoons I parted for him... which is not bad for a start!

Before

After

Going to freeze the remaining portions!

Sad to say, there has been no improvements in his milk intake... I heard it was suppose to be a phase... Well, this phase has been more than 2 months now~ Still taking less than 20oz in 24hours...

Hopefully, he'll enjoy food more than he enjoys milk!
(I'm going to be a really sneaky Mother cos I intend to add some of those formula into all his food...)

Tyler is 4 Months Old

My precious little one is 4 month old today!

Tyler "reading" Adventures of Peter Rabbit

He's always trying to pull himself up with anything he can get his hands one... Tiki and me were saying, he'll probably get 6-pack abs very soon with all the "sit-ups" he's doing all day long! He's learning to sit even before he can turn! haha...

Still very very obsessed with sucking his fingers... Every opportunity he gets, you'll see his fingers in his mouth! He starts putting toys into his mouth too! Gets really frustrated when he cannot suck well on the toys! haha...

Yum Yum!!

I'm not sure why, but Tyler is getting less chatty nowadays... I'm guessing because most of the time, his fingers are in his mouth or he's figuring how to put them in... Producing more saliva and starts to drool a little... Or perhaps it's due to his saliva... *Shrug*

Tyler's getting really playful!! He laughs out loud when we play peek a boo and other games with him... It's so funny and I'll laugh along with him... He loves to see me smile (vice versa), he shows his widest gummy smile when I do... hehehe... It makes everything all worthwhile!! hehe~

He is still not able to take long naps... Usually starts crying after 30 to 45mins... It's not easy to calm him down... I can see that he still wants to sleep... He'll only be able to fall asleep in my arms... But when I try to put him back in his cot, he'll yell and cry again... Sigh... I wonder when he'll start learning to nap on his own... Cos I feel it's also part of the reason he doesn't feed that well...

BUT! He is improving a little on his feeds... about 4 to 6oz each time for 5 times a day... I'm happy about it! Hopefully he'll keep this up!! I'm gonna trial on Nutroplex Multivits with Lysine this couple of days... But he hates it! Spits everything out when I give it to him... His tastebuds are sensitive, spits out any "foreign" flavours everytime! hehehe... Dr T is a little concern about the amount of milk he's taking, which makes me worry somewhat... Then again, as long as I get wet nappies, nice poo poo and a Happy Baby, I'm satisfied!! =) I don't want to stress myself or Tyler again... It'll drive me nuts if I get too anxious...

Wonderful thing is, he falls asleep by 7pm... So we get some time to ourselves... I'll wake him up around 10.30pm for another feed then he'll snooze till about 6 to 7am in the morning...

Tyler has his 2nd dose of DTP1/PV1/Hib today... Did a good job once again!! Screamed for 5secs this time and stopped! So proud of him~ =)

He took his Rotavirus vaccine last week when we went to see Dr T regarding his milk intake... This time we didn't feed him milk beforehand, I guess he was thirsty, so he took in the vaccine easily...

Tyler's growth rate of both height and weight lies in the 50 percentile... His head circumference tho is in the 10 percentile... I was a little worried, but he's developing well... Perhaps he just has smaller head...

Tyler's Weight: 7.2kg
Tyler's Height: 64cm

Chilly Bangkok

This couple of days, weather in Bangkok is absolutely Wonderful!!
Temperature around 18 to 20ºC... I love this weather.... So cooling!!!

We had to let Tyler wear a beanie before heading out

Tyler's been doing alot of sit-ups and crunches recently! Looks like he can't wait to get up by himself...
He tries to grab my fingers and pull himself up all the time!


On Friday morning, he was lying next to me after his morning feed, chatting with me and Daddy... All of a sudden he pulled himself halfway up! Both me and Tiki were shocked!! haha... Tyler actually grabbed our comforter with both his hands and tried to pull himself up! Then when he couldn't get up, he started to whine and get frustrated... hahaha... 


Brought him to take his Visa Picture in the afternoon... He didn't need much support on his neck this time as compared to the time when he took his passport photo when he was barely a month old. Anyway, he kept looking down while I was holding his back until I told the lady to show him the "twinkle twinkle little stars"... We got it after a single shot!! hehe~

I can't believe that he's going to be 4 months old in 2 days' time... Time flies! I'm imagining his 1st Birthday already... hehe~

Cry it out!

This afternoon around 4pm, during nap time, I let him cry for about 15mins after he awoken... He hasn't been able to nap well recently, so I was trying out the Cry-it-out method to let him learn to fall back to sleep... It worked well once... So I tried again...

Sigh...

It was a disaster!!!

He cried very badly, so I picked him up and soothe him down... It took him awhile to calm down... he was doing the crying hics... But anyway, he calmed down eventually...

At 5.15pm, I gave him some milk...

[He's having a hard time taking milk recently too! (I had to rush to Siam Paragon yesterday just to get him new bottles and teats to try~) Walking, swinging, singing, rocking, etc are all the things I have to do each and every feed just to make him suck and swallow...]

He was doing a good job, almost finishing all 4oz of milk when suddenly he just choked and possetted EVERYTHING OUT!!! EVERY SINGLE DROP... I think it's due too all that crying causing all the wind in his little tummy to push all that precious milk out...

Consolation was he still smiled at me... it didn't seem to cause him any discomfort. In fact, I think he felt better after throwing up...

I hate myself for having to do all these things to him... I know it's part and parcel of parenthood and I have to train or trial and error many stuffs! But I get heartpain each time I see him suffer or fail...

Sorry Baby Tyler...
Mummy love you alot!!

I Dream I Scream Ice-Cream!!!

Tyler chatting with Mummy after his morning nap!

Singing Wonderful Tonight with Mummy

Tyler is 3 Months Old

My Little Boy is 3 Months Old!!

Looking at Himself at his Baby Gym

He's start slowing down on his intake of milk. I currently only feed him 6 times a day but he's only willing to drink 3 or 4oz each feed. Sigh... I try to increase the amount but Tyler is very stubborn. Whenever he doesn't want to drink, he'll spit everything out and cry~ No point in force feeding him.

Dr T said that's fine... Since he's still putting on weight at about 200gm a week. But I'm still wondering if he's getting enough nutrition...

He's not very into tummy time although he's able to lift his head and chest up for short period of time (few seconds). He will also attempt to crawl like a turtle when he's on his tummy~

He's a little chatterbox! He can hold a conversation for longer period now and he talks very loudly!! "Ang goo" is still his favourite word... simply cannot resist the way he baby talks!! SOOOOooo CUTE!!

I'm trying to make him go to bed by 8pm... And so far it's been working!! Hopefully he'll keep up this good sleep!! So that Mummy and Daddy can have nice dinner and rest... Although Tiki is quite frustrated that by the time he comes home from work, I'm already winding Tyler down and not allowing him to play with him... Only can speak for a few minutes! haha...

Tyler's Weight: 6.7kg
Tyler's Height: 62cm

Dr T gave him the Pneumococcal shot today! As usual, Baby Tyler is SO brave!! Cried for about 3 seconds while I coax him... Dr T tried to give him the Rota Virus Oral Vaccine but he possetted along with his milk. So we had to wait another 30mins to try again... BUT again he possetted! He really hates the taste, I guess... So no choice we have to do it next month instead and we don't have to pay for it again... Dr T advise was not to feed him before the next appointment to prevent him from throwing up...

Everyone kept telling me he doesn't look like he's 3 months old... more like 5 months old... I don't know if that's true... I don't believe he's a big baby though...

Mummy's Worries

I'm starting to get very paranoid and worried over the health of my baby boy...

He is able to hit most of his milestones and his neck is getting very stable... BUT!

This morning, while I was feeding him his cough mixture, he possetted everything he drank earlier... He hasn't possetted so much in awhile already...

Then, when I was reading him the morning stories he started his very congested cough! I suppose this is the aftermath of the whole H1N1 saga... sigh~

I'm just really worried!!! Don't want anymore of the scary episodes again if I can help it! You're just so small and has already gone through so much...

When I glance at his beautiful face, so cheery and innocent.... I couldn't help the heartache thinking all that he is going through and has to go through in future...

Be Healthy and Strong, My Tyler... I think Mummy needs you more than you'll ever know...

Tyler is 2 Months Old

Today, we went to visit Dr T for a shot of DTP1/PV1/Hib1 Vaccination. He did really well although he did cry out just like the last time. I held his hand and sooth him. He was calm after just a few seconds.
Dr T was pleased with Tyler's growth at 75 percentile and about 1.2kg weight gain since his First month.

He was able to lift up his head and his chest slightly.
He followed Dr T's face from left to right, then right to left.
Dr T says he's doing very well! "Keng Maak!" That's good to hear.

Weight: 5.788kg
Height: 58cm

Since last week, Tyler has developed saliva... Our Tops gets wet from his licking and sucking... His hands too! There's the "臭臭" saliva smell lingering on his hands...

Usually, Tiki will help me with the Midnight feed (12am or 1am), so that I can catch up a bit on the sleep. So the other night (20Jan11), while he was changing Tyler after his feed, his son peed on him not once, not twice, BUT THREE times!! LoL~ After the first round, he cleaned him up, then Tyler peed again... Then got him all cleaned up again... Tyler gave his daddy a long and nice pee~! Tiki was pretty pissed himself after that too... haha... I was lying dreamily in my bed meantime, wondering how come the changing took like 30mins! hahaha... It was 1.30am when they came out... But by then, Tyler was wide awake! So he had to coax him back to sleep... Poor Daddy, he had work in the morning!

Past couple of days, Tyler has been cranky after his nap... When I wake him up from his nap for his daily evening turn-down cleaning. He'll cry and cry miserably like I was about to abandon him once I place him on the changing mat. I have to carry him and coax him until he cools down then put him back on the mat, then he'll start to cry again. I don't understand why... It makes me really moody rest of the day... I hope he'll get over this phase soon... Drives me nuts! haha~

Tyler's First Month

Tyler's Feedings:
For the first 2 weeks we did Breastfeeding for all 9 to 10 feeds with 1 or 2oz of Soy milk for supplement.
For 3rd week we did Breastfeeding for 4 or 5 feeds and Soy Milk 3oz for 4 or 5 feeds
Next 4th 5th week onwards, we did Bottle feeding of pumped out Breastmilk for 4 or 5 feeds and Soy Milk 4oz for 4 or 5 feeds.

He usually drinks every 3 hourly, and total of about 9 feeds a day...

Tyler's Visits to the Pediatrician (Dr Tidawan Werapiboon):
5th Day, 26th November, 2010. We brought him to see PD for routine follow up. Everything was fine and normal. But during one of the feedings, I discovered a "pimple" with pus on his neck, so I voiced that out to her. She run removed the pimple and run some tests with the pus and the result was some bacteria, so Tyler was prescribed with some 5 days doze of antibiotics and some cream to apply just in case.

10th Day, 1 December, 2010. Tyler had stuffy nose which was affecting his breathing and a bit of dry cough, so we brought him to see PD again to find out what was the problem. She said it was a viral cold. He had mucus only in his nose and not anywhere else which was somehow good news to us. He was prescribed cough medicine for 3 days and sensible use of iliadin 0.025% for nasal drop. PD dripped Saline water into his nose and sucked out mucus. I was to administer same thing everyday with Tiki's help to hold Tyler down. He struggled and cried badly each and everytime Saline was dripped into his nose and the suction process... MAJOR HEARTPAIN!!! Tiki was feeling it too... We just cannot bear to see him cry so horribly...

I cried once when I saw a few "strands" of blood when I sucked out his mucus. Apparently, I had hit the wall of his nose with the suction (nothing serious). It didn't help when all the Grandmas were watching me do it! I was feeling frustrated that he was suffering from discomfort of the procedures and angry that everyone was watching me do the "evil" deed and thinks that it was easy for me! My Heart really goes out for Tyler and yet I cannot help him to ease his comfort... I felt really helpless... So I cried for about 10minutes in my room after that... Then I held him close to me... He's so little and has to take medicine and go through all this...

15th Day, 5th December, 2010. We visited PD again because he wasn't getting better... But PD still did the same thing and told me to do the same... Flushing out the mucus with the saline is the best way to get rid it.

After days of practice, I could drip him by myself carrying him. He doesn't cry nor struggle anymore... He fully recovered after about 2 weeks... Now he's nose is all clear!

1Month 2Days, 23rd December, 2010. Brought Tyler in for his 2nd shot of Hepatitis B Vaccination. I was there to hold his hand while Doctor injected him on his left thigh... He screamed in pain but no sound came out initially for several seconds... Some tears flowed out, then he found his voice... Very 可憐 look on his face. I called out to him and place my face very close to his, then he stopped crying...

Tyler's Growth:
21 November, 2010: 3.47kg :: 49cm
24 November, 2010: 3.220kg (His initial weight loss was at a normal rate.)
26 November, 2010: 3.326kg ::  51.5cm (Nurse said this should be his birth height because the measurement on the day of birth might not be accurate due to different instrument.)
1 December, 2010: 3.55kg
23 December, 2010: 4.52kg :: 55cm (His growth rate is in the 50 percentile for boys)

Tyler's Milestones:

He loves being carried and refuse to sleep/left in any cot, or bed by himself... Being spoilt by all the Grandparents... Once we put him down, he will make alot of noises and screams until someone picks him up... Getting naughty, my boy~

He is able to lift his head up for a few seconds when lying on his stomach after his 1st week.

He is able to lock his eyes with mine after his 4weeks.

He is able to lock his eyes and follow my face after 4weeks.

He is able to follow toys and moving objects with his eyes and head.

Misc Moments:
7th Day, 28 November, 2010. He was sleepy and whiny around 7.30 in the morning, after feeding, so I started to sing Sesame street's opening song, Sunny Day, and gave him a few Swings... My big reward was  I get to see him give me a Big big SMILE... Makes every effort all worth it! =)

10th Day, 1 December, 2010. His Belly Button dried up and dropped off but sadly think it dropped off when the nurse was removing his diapers for weighting him... So we couldn't keep it for him...

He sometimes giggles and laugh out loud and makes me wonder what was so funny and wish I could share that joke with him! hehe~

Tyler loves to pee once his diapers are removed or during any awkward times when you are cleaning him up... Everyone of us in the house had a "taste" of my little one's fountain...

Tiki helps to calm Tyler down in the night while I prepare milk for him... Tyler can be very impatient when he's hungry!!

His favourite "Stay Calm" position in the night is lying against Daddy's Chest. He will wriggle to the left side of Tiki's Chest, near his nipple and position himself there... It doesn't just happen once or twice... It has became his daily habit...

Just like this...

My Baby Tyler & Me

Everyone Who Took Care of Tyler in His First Month

Daddy, Mummy, 奶奶，阿公，阿嬤，表姨。

For Tyler's First Month, we bought lots of cakes and vouchers for our family and friends in Singapore, Thailand and Malaysia! For our own celebration at home, we bought a Cheesecake from Four Seasons Hotel. It was very good!! The Grandmas, Tiki and me brought Tyler to K-village for a stroll as a custom. I took the opportunity to get a haircut! haha~ We had a good time out after being stuck at home for awhile... =)

It has been a hectic time adjusting to everything for Tiki and me... But we have come to slowly adapt to the situations. Thanks to our many help from our Family, Tyler's First Month of Life has been smooth sailing... Still a long road ahead for us and our Bundle of Joy~ =)

等吃...等睡...等生...幸褔!!!

I've been sticking my ass on the couch staring at my Macbook or watching documentaries with my Parents in the day... Other than that I'll be reading in my bed or snoozing... Once a day, we'll still head out for lunch or groceries shopping. Mummy will be in charge of preparing dinner with some help from Papa while I take my daily nap... I will be woken up to the house smelling wonderful scents!

If this is not Bliss, I don't know what else is... =) I suppose when we're young we take these things for granted... But after living independently for such a long time, I guess I'm able to appreciate these gestures of LOVE...

Friday night, we had dinner with Roy... His main purpose to Bangkok is to visit 白籠王, a famous divine being who advised many Hong Kong Celebrities  inclung Tony Leung and Edison Chan. Anyway, Roy brought 12 bottles of Bird's Nest with American Ginseng for me which was highly recommended by one of our friends. Surprisingly, it isn't as expensive as the Eu Yan Seng one I've been having and it taste so much better!! Happy! He also brought along 2 bottles of Pandan kaya for us! =)

Tiki and Me had dinner with Roy again along with Kelly and Roland on Saturday night. This time without my parents. Went to Somboon Seafood... I was so tempted by the Fried Oyster (Hoy Thoot) that I had one piece with the fried flour/egg! Luckily, nothing bad happened!!
I'm so glutton and Tiki always don't stop me!!! I'm just so spoilt~

10 Days of Warmth!

It's been 10 days since my parents arrived in Bangkok!! They've been great help around the house. Since our part-time maid had to take time off to care for her sick father. I love love love everything about having my parents around, especially Yummy homecooked food!! hehehe... So far, I think they're not too bored yet! hehe... Eating and chilling... So they said they're going to grow fat because of the cuisines here!! 

Some of the cuisines my Parents Made! 

Simply SHIOK!

Fish Curry

(wasn't able to get fish head from supermarket)

Feels Like Home Again

Since years ago, I haven't been spending alot of time with my parents. What I mean is staying with them... After such a long time, I'm experiencing my "Childhood" all over again! =)

We used to do KTV sessions and sing-a-long to songs to Oldies and Hokkien songs at home... So we've been doing it during their stay here by looking for these Nostalgic songs from YouTube. Brought back so much memories... 

I'm enjoying Delicious and Healthier home cooked food all the time. Needless to say, I've "retired" from any chores... Mummy is doing all the cooking!! YEAH~!

Things parents do for their children... It's just unbelievable... And I'm totally relishing everything! =) I got me wondering if I'll be doing the same in future...

I'm still going out shopping for groceries with them so that they'll get used to the different supermarkets! Probably next week onwards, I will stay home to rest.

During our Skype session with my brother and XingNing,  I could tell that she really misses her Grandma and she kept saying, "我要去姑姑家！" She's so cute!! Well, I suppose they'll come visit me next year! =)

Tiki got really sick from the yearly Off-site Dinner with his colleagues on Saturday night. Every single person was toasting/congratulating him for expecting a son and he could not reject. He had about 10 glasses of whisky on the rocks... He was still sober when he got home at about 10pm... But then he started throwing up around midnight...  ALL NIGHT!! Poor thing... We tried different remedies... Well, I did all I could to make him comfortable... It really worries me to see him like this. Mummy made some porridge for him before we head out for groceries shopping... Thank god, he became well in the afternoon after all the TLC~ =)

Mummy and Papa Arrive in Bangkok

My Parents are Here in Bangkok!! They arrived on Monday afternoon...

They bought a luggage full of stuffs from Singapore for me... Including a brand new pot! hehehe...

Guess what?!
My Mummy was able to clean my Chao Tar Pot!!! It looks brand New! She's really that capable at washing stuffs!! I'm serious! Nothing can 難倒 her~
(if i've known, this can be done, i wouldn't have to buy a new one...)

Chao Tar Vs After Wash

Mummy made dinner for us... Some kind of Hokkien Porridge she learnt from her Grandmother... we call it Kiam Ber~ I used to have it all the time when I was young. Ingredients include deep fried hard tofu, mince meat balls, rice in ikan bilis/soy bean broth.

 Marinating Mince Meat

I helped to Fry Tofu

Kiam Ber!!

Stir Fry Cauliflower

So far, I've brought them for walk walk around our area to familiarize again... They tried a couple of the street food, like Pad Thai, Deep Fried Banana, Deep Fried Pork Belly... They keep saying they're going to put on weight for sure! Papa is enjoying Animal Planet, Discovery Channel and all the documentaries everyday... They're relaxing and chilling everyday... =)

Enjoying Local Street Food

Another Weekend in Bangkok

Tiki and me had Char Bee Hoon for dinner on Friday night. This time I added different ingredients and it tasted better! =) I also added a whole lot of Brocolli into my Campbell Cream of Asparagus Soup... I know Campbell isn't so healthy, but I haven't had it for the longest time... =)

After dinner, we watched The Usual Suspects DVD movie which we bought somedays ago... Tiki was telling me there's a twist in the movie, that it's pretty good. I must admit it's really a cool psycho thriller! I guessed the twist right in the beginning of the movie but Tiki kept denying to keep me in suspense. Probably I've watched far too many and this was made in 1995.

Saturday, same ol' Emporium groceries shopping. I had to sit down a few times to rest while Tiki continued shopping... We had Japanese food for lunch AND dinner... We head to Aoi in Silom for dinner. Food was GOOD! I can't wait to eat Sashimi!!! I like to and mimick/imagine eating all the Forbidden Food and Tiki would always laugh and say, "Soon Soon Soon! A little while more~"
Got home and watched Gospel of John then Spurs Match. I fell asleep before the game is over... I doze off pretty easily now... ;)

Dinner at Aoi

Inaniwa Udon with Kakiage :: Inari Sushi

Sunday, we had MOS Burger for lunch... Healthier than MacD! hehehe...
Made Pasta for dinner. I haven't made cream sauce pasta for quite some time... For a change, I made Alfredo Sauce with Onion, Clams and Crabmeat to go with Wholegrain Spaghetti and top it off with some sauteed brown button mushrooms. I also marinated and pan fried a piece of Kurobuta for side. Tiki made Blackbean Peanut soup!

My Parents are arriving tomorrow!!! YEAH!!! FOR TWO WHOLE MONTHS!!!
I'm also expecting some gifts and goodies! They're are going to make TAN/TOK FAMILY cuisines for us during their stay too! 太開心了！！ hehe...
