To Drench in Trench

My first ever Burberry trench coat. Got this in Orlando. Love it, love it, love it. My only wish is for autumn to dwell a little longer this year. Rumour has it that snow is dawning soon, real soon.

Silence of the Baby

Any parent would tell you when you do not hear from your baby, it spells trouble. On this chilly September afternoon, I had the same fate. As usual when Isaac was no where within my sight I would call out for him. When he didn't come running at the sound of my voice, that's when my legs will do the running. I found him sitting on the floor with his right hand in a drawer, stucked. He let out a faint cry as he struggled to pull his little arm out of the heavy oak drawer. I immediately went to his rescue. Guess what I found laying in the drawer, cold and dead? My duster! I picked up the phone and called hubby in case my assumption lead to wrong accusation. It was funny when he replied 1) he had no idea that duster existed (yes he never dusted) 2) whatever he said after that was pointless. So it was ISAAC CHEAH. And until now I can't explain how he did it but he did it. How can a 15mos old break a duster? I did some thinking about my diet during my pregnancy. Spinach? Folic acid? Brick? Metal? Hammer?

Oh poor duster. RIP my dear, you have served your master well. I'm going to get your cousin (improved version) soon.

Over The Moon Kinda Cakes

No doubt these are delicious but the prices are just over the moon. We spent about RM200 on the above 3 varieties. No wonder they are called mooncakes. I missed those cute paper lanterns during our era where we gotta insert those colourful candle into the tiny wired hole. Oh how I missed those days. I couldn't even find a battery operated lantern for Isaac in this planet. Doh!

Isaac's Hideout

This cabinet used to house all the dry ingredients for soups, Chinese cooking, herbs and you name it. Now it is my baby's hideout. I had to remove all the stuffs and scatter them everywhere. Everywhere he couldn't reach that is. So now if I need to boil soup I have to open at least 3 cabinets to gather the complete line of ingredients. Talk about being busy!

Left Lost

In case you are wondering about the title of this entry, it means Left is Lost. We have a self-acclaimed Super-Packer in the family and that's none other than my dear husband. He disapproves my style of packing which is last minute, slow and detailed. Too detailed for him. So he took upon the great task of packing during vacation. Unpacking which to him is boring is back to moi. Bluek. After 10 looooong days in Orlando and tonnes of soiled laundry to pack, he did what he did best. We had a carseat, a stroller, 2 hard cases, 1 trolley bag, 1 hand carry and a diaper bag. As one would know that USA regulation states that unless travellers have a TSA lock on the luggage, they are not allowed to lock their luggages to facilitate inspections. And the trolley bag didn't have one. It was left unlocked. Because the bag is a soft zipper type bag it's not hard for things to fall out. So before we rolled the bags into luggage belt, I reminded SP (Super-Packer) to lock the luggage regardless cos I saw the bag so fat and felt something amiss. He didn't give me any reply. Result : Isaac's brand new Timberland snow boots fell out. Just the left boot. Upset habis! We called the airports and airlines and even went to the airport to lodge a report. Unfortunately they were no one at the Delta office at that time. Arrrggghhh!! So now we are left with a right boot. I may want to frame it up to honour SP.

*Anyway SP felt sorry and got his colleague who went to Orlando for Raya hols to get us a new pair. I haven't seen them yet but they are somewhere in Calgary. Both left and right.

Rainbow Yogurt

Duo flavoured baby yogurt. What an invention! You get 60g of 2 different types of yogurt in each serving. It's really split into half just like the coloured cups in pastel mouth watering colours. CAD2.99 for 6 cups. My baby's must-have breakfast!

Stewed Potatoes with Minced Pork

One can almost find this dish in any "chap farn" stall. It is simple yet has the power to remind you of your mom, her cooking and of home. Needless to say it is hubby's and my all time favourite too!
