simple cooking instruction

It's finally time for us to tell mil that she can feed Khye porridge. The reason why we hid from her was cos Khye could not sit properly in the baby walker, he would slough and it's bad for his backbone. Also she definitely cannot handle him on one hand while feeding him using another hand. Half the food may end up in his notrils like what happened when i first fed him :P

I wanted to tell her to cook a very very simple porridge with meat, spinach and carrot using our newly bought mini slow cooker. But our conversation lasted for quite long as predicted. She got over-excited.

Me : Ma, can start to feed Khye with porridge tomorrow liao.
Mil : Yes yes, I already wanted to ask you about that bla bla bla. By right should start already..bla bla bla bla. I will use stove to cook porridge faster.
Me : No need lar, can cook with slow cooker, i bought a mini slow cooker already. Easier.
Mil : Cook with stove also can mah, will turn soft and starchy too.
Me : Okay lar, anything also can, as long as soft enough for him. Then put...
Mil : (interrupted) I will put potato, i will mix different veggies....
Me : (trying to stop her) No no, put meat, spinach and carrot enough. Then...
Mil : (interrupted) Ok ok, then throw away meat, spinach and carrot, let him have the porridge.
Me : No no, put spinach & carrot then blend so that he can finish up everything. Dun blend the meat.
Mil : No need to blend one, just cook until it become soft then can smash them up already.
Me : That way also can, but blend better, easier to digest.
Mil : I try lar, see which way. Can add fish also, not the poisonous ones.
Me : Fish is ok, as long as no other seafood.
Mil : I already wanted to ask you about feeding him porridge..bla bla bla....
Me : Ok ok, so tomorrow i prepare the slow cooker and ikan bilis.
Mil : Actually, can use stove, no need to blend, everything will become soft and edible one.
Hubby: Just listen to her (referring to me) enough.
Mil : Cook porridge, add meat, carrot & spinach.

See? It's simple, rite? *phew*

pre/postnatal depression

If that is what you call it. My mood has not yet improved since i was pregnant until now. 2008 passes like a breeze and before i knew it, it's already end of Oct. My Khye's 1st bday is another 3 months time, according to Chinese Lunar Calendar. One good thing is my weight has gone down and down, 53.5kg now thanks to sleep deprivation, taking care of Khye and keeping my sanity in check.


Just a short update on my hurricane life:

1st
Bedtime for Khye was painful for both of us since Aug. No matter how much effort spent in patting or singing, Khye just didn't want to sleep at all. We even made it a habit to wipe him clean just before bedtime, to make him more comfortable. But whenever the clock struck 9pm, both of us would be in fear. Our bedtime has always been 12am-1am, and at times we would only get to sleep at 2-2.30am but ended up waking up at 4-5am cos he'd wake up and cry for attention. I seriously doubted that our room was haunted. After asking a few people for, we finally went to BM to seek help from Kuan Yin. Kuan Yin told us that we as his parents should not start to fear Khye when the clock strikes 9pm. As a conclusion, we're the culprits for him not able to go to bed easily as it has already registered in our mind that he'll not sleep easily. A night after the visit to Kuan Yin temple, Khye finally settled down and slept at 10.30pm almost everyday, peacefully. If you want to know how to find this place, you may leave me a comment.

2nd
People just don't understand why mainland people need to beat the 7pm jam on bridge. Have they not noticed the long stretch of lorries queuing in front of Tesco & e-Gate? Have they not stuck on the bridge for hours for unexplainable reason? Okay, some people may argue that we should get a property in island to avoid the hassle. I like mainland, so wat?! I like my double-storey house on mainland, i like the idea of walking straight into my house without waiting for lift, i like the idea of not having to walk so far to throw my rubbish. Cannot ar? Just becos of the stupid jam, i have to get a RM1M property in island? Stupid!

3rd
I like rushing so much. I like to rush while feeding my Khye. I like to rush when eating. I like to rush when bathing. I like to rush when i clean my house. I like to rush when i'm working. I like to rush here and there. I like to rush, if you dun, stay away from me lor.

4th
Khye is still slightly underweight after the doc visit last saturday. Must be due to the lack of sleep since few months ago. The rascal is becoming more and more active and a super duper busybody. He wants to touch and taste everything in his sight. Remote controls, bags, syilings, walls, doors, iron grills, chairs, etc. Dirty fella. The second pic is he trying to pass motion. I wonder how is he going to feel when he reads my blog next time, with his mama publishing all his funny photos :P :P

ala jaychou

That's the cloth we used to wrap his tummy when he was younger. As cool as Jay Chou?


But his cool expression didn't last long. I forgot it's the sign for the following reaction :( Ladies and gentlemen, this is the rascal i have to deal with everynite before we go to sleep.



teething

Khye is getting very cranky now, even my parents couldn't stand him. He doesn't want to sleep, he doesn't want to play alone, he doesn't let us go out of his sight. That explains why i'm losing weight so fast. I've forgotten when was it when my weight was only 54kg. Then we found out this. A tiny white dot, his first tooth.

He bites everything in sight. Our coffee table legs, sofas, rubber mat, books, papers, toys, remote controls and even the wood of his baby cot. Sometimes i'll just let him have fun with his biscuits. Let him messes around on his rubber mat. Poor me will have to clean up everything after his small party.

indescribable

He did it again, 2nd time.

I want to vent my anger into post. I want everybody to know what had happened last night, how hurt i was, how angry i was. But i just can't put it into words now.
