What’s new in the treasure box…
Posted on August 5, 2010
I can’t believe it’s already August! 4 more months to Christmas and the holiday season.
I’ve haven’t made hair pins in awhile. Here’s an addition to the Ashley-Ann hair pins range.
They’re suitable for both adults and lil girls (age 3 and above) and costs RM10 per pair.
Limited availability as I only made 1 pair per design 
Amd get this - I named each pair after my customers! If your name wasn’t chosen, don’t worry. I’ve got more stuff to name!
Check it out here.
Here’s my model wearing a pair of hair clips I named Shireen.

Theme Day
Posted on August 2, 2010
It was theme day at the kindy last week.
Theme for nursery kids was Recycle.
Theme for the K-kids was Fruits and vegetables.
So I we got to working…..
We started working on Aidan’s stuff.
Thank God for the internet, I managed to print some Recycle logos onto sticker paper.
I made Aidan a neck tie and a bag out of newspaper and decorated them with the recycle logo stickers.
Check these out.
This is the bag made from recycled paper. I printed the recycle logo onto sticker paper and stuck it onto the bag. He looks so proud to be carrying that bag
Here’s the necktie I made for Aidan. Not sure if you can see it properly as I laid the tie on the bag.
And here’s what we did for Ashley’s fruits and vegetables theme.
This is Ashley’s basket of fruits and vegetable. I printed picture of fruits and vegetable for her on sticker paper and got her to stick all over her heart-shaped fruits and vegeatbles basket.
And on the day itself…they looked like this….
This is the back of Aidan’s shirt. I stuck the recycle logo on the back of his shirt too!
Love it!
Btw, I read about the hairclips Barb bought for her Ashley and couldn’t resist it! AShley’s wearing of one of it. Check out what else I got for her.

Burn Treatment
Posted on August 2, 2010
I’ve read many a times where little chilren getting burns and scalds by heat it is something which I hope do not happen to any of my kids. It’s to heartbreaking to see how they suffer but when shit happens, It happens right? Noone is to be blamed. It’s how fast we respond to these kinds of accidents that matter the most.
I’ve read many conflicting ways on burn treatment and the first thing to do to avoid the heat from penetraing the skin is to place the effected area under cool or tepid running water for 10-30 minutes within 20 minutes of the injury occuring.
Make sure the person is kept warm using a blanket or layers of clothing (avoiding the effected area) to prevent hypothermia - this may happen if the bodfy temperature falls below 35C when coolinga large burnt area in children and the elderly.
Cover the burn area in cling film and then seek medical treatment.
I’m not a doctor but this is what i read on the internet. There are other burn treatment information available on the internet. Do your own research and ensure that you equip your first aid kit with the proper medical disposables.
I can prepare myself to the best of my abilities but I pray that i won’t freeze if it actually happens to one of us!

his power wheels
Posted on July 29, 2010
Aidan is stil very obssessed with his collection of power wheels. He has a basketfull of them and each week, he has his favourite cars which he’d bring with him wherever he is - and even to school. He probably figured it out that it’s easier to carry around 4-5 cars with him as opposed to a basketful of them which is too big and heavy for him to bring up and down the stairs.
That silver Audi car? He calls it ‘Mommy’ car and Daddy’s car is the black convertible.
He loves it when we speed while driving (within the speed limits).
He loves it when we drive over bumps.
He loves it when we take a sharp corner while driving.
At times, he’d ask me innocently, “Mommy. Bang the car. Cannn?”
Gotta love that innocence in this 3yo.

Aidan @ 3y 2m
Posted on July 28, 2010
20 July 2010 - Aidan @ 3y 2m
Snapped this photo of Aidan while I was working in my study room. He was lying on the floor and had his bottom half of his body (waist downwards) under my chair. He just laid there for a bit, chillin’, staring up at me as I typed away…
I’m so guilty of not posting up his monthly developments on the blog. I did Ashley’s monthy development updates on the blog up till she was 4yo!
Ok so here are some updates on Aidan at 3y 2m
Speech
I love the way Aidan speaks. He’d say things like….
“Mommy…..cheh-cheh no love me…..”
“Lisa Marie (his classmate) love me….”
Or if he is half way playing and wants to go to the loo to do his big business, he’d tell his sister..”Cheh-cheh…I go (to) toilet. You no touch Aidan’s car ok? Ok cheh-cheh??”
Or if he tries to attract my attention while I’m working and I just agree with him without taking my eyes off the computer, he’d say, “Mommy. You didn’t see.”
He is such a squeeler. He likes to ‘report’ any of his sister’s wrong-doings to us.
Overall, he is improving in his speech. He knows how to express himself clearly to us.
He loves…
…his toy cars. He has a basket FULL of them and he plays with them EVERY day!
…his thumb. He’s still a thumb sucker…and he loves to play with my hair!!!
….food. junk food. non-junk food. fruits. Yoghurt. Vitagen. Cheese. What-have-yous…
….football! Me thinks he’s gonna be like his daddy.
…school! Surprisingly huh? considering he cried the loudest in school on the first few days of kindy.
Siblings
The kids play and FIGHT every single day.
Makes me mad all the time.
They’d play, then fight, then cry….then play again…and it goes on and on.
Aidan hardly ever bite Ashley anymore. I think (and hope!) that he is past that stage. I used to pity Ashley when she got bitten by Aidan. They’d be a bite mark on her for days!
He dislikes
..it when we speak in Mandarin. Whenever Ashley and I converse in Mandarin (with the limited vocab they we know of), he’d say, “No CHINESE!”
It’s nice to have a little one in the family. Ashley’s like grown out of her baby-ish ways. Aidan’s still our little baby to us

Pray for me?
Posted on July 23, 2010
(Pic taken on 3 July 2010) - Ashley with a Hershey’s chocolate on one eye…
Ashley was on the phone with my Mom this evening…
My mom asked her whether she prays or not…
The lil missy responded that she prays every night before going to bed.
Then…
My Mom/Grandma : Pray for me also ok?
Ashley : Hey!? You pray yourself….
Cheeky gal.
Have a great weekend!

The new Kakak
Posted on July 22, 2010
Picked up my new helper (Siti) yesterday from the maid agency.
So far so good.
First of all, thanks Jazzmint for recommending this agency to me.
They are very efficient and professional.
On to the maid.
First impression - let’s just say that I felt somewhat relieved.
But it’s only the first day and it’s our honeymoon period.
The kids were ok with her and she with them.
Will update more in 2 weeks’ time. By then she should sort of get into the groove of things….
*fingers crossed*

Goodbye Kakak Tini
Posted on July 20, 2010
It seems like only yesterday that Tini arrived into our household. Today marks the end of her 2-year stint in Malaysia and she boarded the plane back to Bandung, with mixed feelings - relief + sadness - but mostly, relief!
Relieved to see her family. Her kids. Her parents. Her husband.
And I could see that she was abit sad to leave us as well (or I hope she was as sad as I was!)
We never took her for granted during her entire stay here - always treating her well, like part of the family in hopes that she would extend her contract with us but sadly, family duty calls and she decided to go back home to look after her own kids.
She was only supposed to leave today at 12.30pm but she started the day like any other normal day.
Woke up at 5.30am (”Sudah biasa’ or so she claims)
Did the laundry, vacuumed, mopped, cleaned, cooked.
She made sure that our meals for the day (till dinner) were sorted out.
I had to stop her from working so that she could focus on packing her stuff.
She arrived Bandung at 5.30pm (Malaysian time) and I received an sms from her to say that she had arrived safely.
I’m quite sad that she has gone.
On the bright side, my maid agency informed us that we can pick up our new helper tomorrow.
Here’s hoping that she is a keeper. Like Tini.

Lil Miss Ballerina loves to accesorize
Posted on July 19, 2010
(Pic taken on 17 July 2010) - Lil Miss Ballerina
As I helped her to get ready for her ballet class, it dawned on me that this lil missy has grown up too quickly.
When she was a baby, I always anticipate when she will take a first step and say her first word.
Now that she is 5, sometimes, I wish she was back to being a little helpless baby.
These days, after she is done dressing up, she’d request for her musical jewelry box which she sometimes refer to as her magical box. In this box, she keeps all her rings, bracelets, necklaces and what-have-yous…
That morning, while getting ready to go for her ballet class, she decided to add a little accessory to her ears. She wore a pair of earrings from one of the princess sets she got as presents.
I bought her the mirror she is holding in the picture above sometime back when I we shopped at a street market. It was pretty inexpensive. I bought a black compact mirror with the rose accent as shown above and got Ashley a hand-mirror.
Yesterday, after she changed into a fresh set of clothing after her shower, I caught her gazing into the mirror, as though looking at the imperfections of her looks , tucking her hair behind her ear, positioned her clip-on earrings so that it stayed at the position she wanted. Before I know it, I’m sure she will be wanting to use wrinkle eye cream as an early prevention. Kids these days, they grow up too fast! Technology do play a part in it too. I want to hit that pause button for a couple of years, filter our those Lady Gaga and Justin Bieber songs for now and just want them to listen to kiddy songs!!!
P/S Check out my latest online purchase - this is what every girl should have in their handbag!
