My parents, hubby, little Moo Moo and I went to Midvalley last Sunday. We reached around 12 noon and it was a pleasant day indeed as there were very less traffic. We even managed to find a parking space in less than 20 minutes time which is very rare for Midvalley as the traffic is mostly jammed up queuing to go into the carparks as early as 11am even on weekdays.
Moo Moo didn't managed to get her mid morning nap as she was too excited to be in the same car with grandpa and grandma.
Moo Moo started to act cranky after shopping for her panties at Jusco hence we decided to go for lunch at Garden Lifestyle Restaurant in hope that the little one can be nicely feed and get some rest. The environment and the service of the restaurant are good.
When the waiter pass us the menu, Moo Moo took over my menu and don't even allow me to look at it. She continuously close my menu when i attempt to open and look at it. Seeing this, the waiter gave us a kids menu instead.
Moo Moo is very happy to see the kids menu. She pay full attention to it, studying all the nice pictures in the kids menu. To everyone surprised, she suddenly pointed to one of the picture and says "Fish and Chips" happily while looking at the waiter. Moo Moo ordering for herself for the very first time and the picture indeed shows "Fish and Chips". After that, she finally allows me to look at my menu.
Our order for that day:
1 Curry MeeHon for mummy
1 Nasi Lemak + 1 ice lemon tea for daddy
1 Salted Egg Fried Rice + 1 carrot milk for hubby
1 Spaghetti for me
and 1 Sausage, Corn and Mashed Potatoes set for Moo Moo. She changed her mind to this when she sees her favorite corn.
Moo Moo took her lunch without much fuss. She finished almost half of her kids meal and some portion of my spaghetti.
Everything turns out quite nice except for the curry meehon. The bill comes out to be RM100.10.
Moo Moo dosed off in hubby's arm about half an hour after that hence we were forced to shorten our stay at Midvalley as we forgot to bring the stroller along.

Bunny Dear - Boy or Girl
It's a beautiful day today.
The Gynae had told me during my last checkup, saying that we might be able to know the gender of No.2 today. Hubby was supposed to go to the check up with me but something happened in between and hubby had missed the chance to see No.2.
The traffic is normal, i reached just on time for the appointment. My current weight is 63.4kg and i had actually lost 0.5kg since i first weight myself last February during my first visit to the gynae. The blood pressure and the urine test turns out normal.
Time for the scan. The doctor did a detailed scanned for me today to determine the gender of No.2. The doctor was joking all the way. Asking No.2 to open up the legs so that he can check.
No.2 is very co-operative. This time, the doctor is very sure to announce

Unlike when i am having No.1, the doctor just asked me to see for myself.
The doctor also says that No.2 is not shy at all and he is having long legs, just like his sister.

Pacifier
Little Moo Moo had started the pacifier during sleep time when she is merely 3 months old. She is currently using the one from Pigeon. She is supposed to be on Step 3 now but the transition from Step 2 to Step 3 just doesn't work!
I had tried to introduced her to the Step 3 pacifier when she is about 12 months old. Whenever i put it in her mouth, the pacifier will slip out of her mouth naturally as if it just can't stay fix to her mouth. After a few try, Little Moo Moo were stuck with Step 2 since then.
Throughout the past 12 months, little Moo Moo had since munch on not less than 4 Step 2 pacifier. I tried to switched her to Step 3 again last month but it still doesn't works.
I am planning to wean her off the pacifier soon and i had to do it fast as her addiction to the pacifier seems to be getting severe recently. I had been reminding her these days that the current pacifier will be the last one for her. If she broke it again, she will not be allowed to get a replacement anymore.
She knows that i will take her pacifier away from her every morning when she is drinking her milk with her milk bottle. Nowadays, she will hide the pacifier behind her back when drinking her milk. She will resume back her pacifier sucking when she is finished with her milk. I will then have to con her to hand out the pacifier by offering her daily does of Vitamin C.
Any of the mothers out there have a good idea to share?

Potty Training
I know a lot of parents out there started to potty train their children when they are still at their infant stage. I started that too with Little Moo Moo when she is merely 2 months old. I can still remember how big the potty is as compared to her tiny little butt.
Something happens in between (which me and even the baby sitter cannot recall) and Little Moo Moo had stopped using the potty when she learns to walk.
Both me and baby sitter had try numerous ways to encourage Moo Moo to use the potty again but ended up being disappointed. When she starts to walk, she will hide in a corner whenever she wants to poo. She will poo in her diapers and will only comes out from her hideout/corner when she is done with her big business.
During the last week, Little Moo Moo had suddenly agreed to be diaperless during day time. She had been diaperless for the past 1 week and only wears her diapers for afternoon nap and bedtime. Whenever she wants to use the potty, she will run towards me and tell me about her needs even when we are out shopping last weekend. She will pull down her pants and sit on the potty all by herself and will always end her business with a big smile on her face.
Although its just a small milestone, I felt so proud of my little girl. It's really true that one need not have to rush to potty trained a child. When the time comes, the child will automatically grow out of their diapers.
Good job my girl, good job indeed. Mommy is so proud of you.

Accident: Slammed finger
I was in the car with little Moo Moo last Sunday waiting for hubby to finish his errands.
I was seated at the drivers seat while Moo Moo at the passenger seat beside me eating her cereal bar. Everything was fine until Moo Moo climb to the back seat behind the driver seat and started playing with the electronic window.
I heard the sound of the window winding down so i quickly wind it up using the master control and lock the window. To my horror, Moo Moo suddenly cry out loud! It's too late when i found out that Moo Moo had actually slammed her finger in between the window!
I felt so bad as i didn't check on her before winding up the window. Her middle finger on the right was swollen. There's a red line in the middle of her finger nail. I was panic, i don't have any medication with me and i have no idea what to do to ease her pain. I just suck hard on her middle finger and hope for the best.
Little Moo Moo cry so hard while i hug her tight and try to comfort her. I try to ask her to move her fingers to make sure that it is all right.
She was so in pain for the next few hours. She didn't even dare to use her right hand while playing.
I felt relieve that Moo Moo's finger had recover the next day and her fingernails is not damaged.
Here is a link to treating smashed finger. I really don't hope that there will be a second time. However, accidents do happen and it's better to be well prepared/read up than be panic when it happens.

Confinement Lady In Malaysia
Seeking help from a confinement lady during the confinement period is a norm for Chinese in Malaysia.
Some mommy who are more fortunate will have the help of their mother,in laws or female relatives to help during the confinement period while some who were less fortunate might have to do it all by themselves or engaged the help of confinement centers that provide full service or partial service (for example, you can opt for ordering confinement meals send to your doorstep instead of having a confinement lady staying with you for the whole month and helping you with the cooking and baby).
During my pregnancy with Little Moo Moo, my EDD falls within the Chinese New Year period. The cost of hiring a confinement lady will be double the normal market price hence I hire a part time maid instead to help my mom preparing all the confinement needs.This time round, i had decided to hire a confinement lady as my mom is aging and it hurts to see her preparing and doing so many things during my last confinement.
It's always not easy to find a good confinement lady. My friends had advise me to engage a confinement lady as early as possible and if possible straight after the pregnancy confirmation (that means when pregnancy is still around 7-12 weeks) to prevent disappointment as many of the good ones will usually be taken up fast.
For the past days, i searched the web, visited parenting forums and talked to friends and i managed to gather a list of confinement lady with good reputations among forumers who are available throughout Malaysia. The list is as follows:-
