Jamie is a big girl now... Happy 8mths old to Jamie ^^

Yes, Jamie is a BIG girl now. She can now sit upright on her own and she had tried many new food. She is a very adventurous girl when it comes to new food and she never hesitate to have a taste of the new food if she is given the choice.

She had tried the following for the last 1 mth.
- cheese
- grapes
- strawberries
- kiwi
- honeydew
- baby yogurt

And she is having a balance diet with two solid food meals a day and milk 3-4 times a day. She gets to eat fruits after each meal too. Wow... She really can eat quite a bit.

Occasionally she gets to steal some rice, some bread (wholemeal white bread), some baby biscuits too... We didn't really control what she can or cannot eat, but simply just let her try. And if there was no sign of allegy, then we will continue with the food.

Tomorrow we are going to let her try egg yolk. Lets hope she doesn't have allergies to egg.

Let's take a look at how mature she has become...











Went shopping with Jamie last Sunday and bought the high chair in the photo, and a playpen mattress which made Jamie's playpen very much more comfy. Now she can sit and sleep in the playpen for a longer period of time.

Noticed her cute little sunglasses? I forgot to bring out her hat and hence bought the sunglasses for her when she had to be under the sun for a while. Isn't it cute?!!

Learning new things everyday...

Time flies, I had worked for a week + 3 days. And everyday is still a new challenge to me. There seemed to be so much that I have to do and can do for my new workplace. But yet I feel really blissful and happy working there.

I had thought my engine must have been rusty after not working in an office for 1.5 years, however, it turned out that I can 'swim' from the moment I was let into this new 'pond'.

I won't say I did a lot so far since I had only worked for 8 days. But then, I will say I believe there are many more things I can do and that I will be able to do too.

I guess some people find me weird. I actually like working. I like feeling useful and adding value and leading a fruitful life, helping another organization to improve their working system etc.

I am very grateful that I have a good helper too. I felt thankful over and over again that I can actually work with no worries at all. Even when Jamie was sick for a few days last week, I know I can trust my helper to take good care of Jamie. Only then I can concentrate fully at work. And yes, I have to keep saying this. I am really thankful that I can find a job so soon, and have a good helper to take good care of Jamie while I work hard to provide more for Jamie...

A Remake of the Predators

I really wonder the need to remake this movie.

First of all, it was not remake in 3D. And secondly, there was no big hollywood actors/actresses in this movie. So I really wonder why did they want to remake the movie. What's worse, was that it was quite obvious it was a budget movie.

What I find really interesting though, is the alien predators catching those who they feel is the predators in the human world to be gamed after. And it was quite amazing to see how the aliens had wanted to win over fair match.

For example, the aliens got rid of the previous survivor who was trying to kill the rest in his hiding place. They did so, so that they can have fair game. And the part when the Yakuzi fought the Predator. It showed how the aliens respected such fair match.

On the other hand, in contrast to the alien Predators, we had this human doctor who use all the scrupulous methods to stay alive and abused good men's kindness. It was really an irony how the same kind can try to kill each other, and not worked together to kill a common enemy.

It also tells of the one that looks most harmless, could be the real serpent in disguise...

Not a fantastic movie but yet I find the morale of the story still not too bad.

Movie Review of Twilight Saga (Eclipse) - Every Girl's Dream

Frankly, I still feel that the movie is a bit slow, especially the parts when Edward and Bella are talking to each other. It was the animal instincts in Jacob that perks up the story a bit occasionally.

I still remember the very first time I decided to watch Twilight, was because there was no other movie to watch. I did not read the story and had no idea what was the story about. When we left the cinema, the first thing that both me and Laogong felt about the movie was that it was SLOW and the storyline was really lame. OR rather, I should say in a nicer way, SIMPLE...

But Edward was then really someone very charming to me. Someone who I thought it's really sweet to have in our lives. Edward was the typical guy with the 'Naughty Look' but yet he was not the player type of man. This makes him more yearn for by all his female fans. And Jacob was then really a turn off because of his long hair. He was pretty skinny too then. Edward, who looked relatively taller beside Bella, was like a knight in shining armour (ironically, he does have a shining body).



I decided to watch Twilight - New Moon, partly because it seems natural to follow up on the part two of the movie. Surprisingly, Edward's drug addict alike pale-coloured, skinny and boney body was a BIG turn-off to me. And I felt that his lips was too red and the face was too pale, compared to the first episode.

On the other hand, Jacob grew so much bigger and fitter and manlier... His short hair made him looked boyish but yet freshing. His toned body made so many girls screamed in the cinema. He was like the unconventional prince on a black horse, always there to fight off any evil for Bella.

Though Edward was still always there for Bella, Jacob's loud expression of love and affection was what really made his fans went crazy.



At first, I really thought the story was lame. Especially when I felt that Bella was no superb beauty. Instead she was simple, plain, don't doll up herself and very clumsy. But yet, there was two men who were so crazy over her. But while I watched the Eclipse, I finally knew the morale of the story.

Yes, the storyline was still simple. But simple it may be, it tells about every girl's dream. Or should I say most girls' dream...

1. Edward had this typical playboy look but yet he was very old school and only will 'touch' Bella after they were married. Such men are largely extinct...

2. Jacob is the typical fun and outgoing boyish guy but yet he has this wild and animal side of him, who thinks aloud about his desires over someone he loves very much.

3. Every girl will like to have a man who has his gentleman/old school personalities and boyish/wild personality at the same time. Every girl will like more than one man to be madly in love with her and want her so badly. Every girl will likes to have more than one man who is willing to die for her. It simply means, every girl will like to feel important in more than one man's heart. It doesn't mean the girls are not contented, it just means they want to feel very very special.

4. Edward was the mature and gentleman type of man every girl likes but at the same time, you may find him a bit too boring, because other than lying on the flowerbed doing nothing, he doesn't seem to have any other hobby.

5. Jacob may seem childish and untamed, but yet he is fun, adventurous and you will never be bored with him. And his expression of love is so loud and verbal! This is every girl's dream, to have a man who enjoy telling her how much he wanted her to be his.

6. It tells the irony of human beings. As much as they wanted to have a man who loved them wholeheartedly and will not even look at other women, but yet when they are given a vampire lover who only have a heart for one girl and will stay loyal to this one girl as long as they live (which is forever), they may find it too boring to face the same face for eternity.

7. Jacob's loud expression of how he thinks it's okay for one person to love more than one person was the animal him who feels it's normal to find more than one person attractive. Isn't this a subtle desire in many human beings to hope they can love more than one person at a time?

8. Bella who seems plain, isn't just any girl on the street? And hence the storyline reflects how any other girl on the street had hope they can be loved by more than one man, or should I say more than one special man.

9. The vampire and the wolf are like perfect rivals. One likes to manipulate (by sucking another's blood and becoming his/her master) and one likes to be manipulated (don't you feel that Jacob just wants to be like a naughty little puppy adored by Bella?)




Seriously I will like to have such a handsome and strong puppy who loves me and me only ^^ And will do everything I want him to do :)

10. The story also talks about the fear that marriage will be the tombstone to romance. Bella expressed how she is fearful of marriage, partly because of her parents's divorce. And partly because she is worried Edward will get tired of her one day.

11. Eclipse also reveals many stories of the other vampire members in the Colin family and how they became who they are. The first two movies had emphases solely on Edward and Alice. And now we get to know more about Jasper and the other female vampire (can't remember her name).

12. Last but not least, the movie revealed that Bella really loved both men, and she chose Edward not because she loved him more, but because she had wanted to find a place she belonged. This also tells of how a child from a divorced family will behave or believe. They will always hope to have their own family or join another family to feel belonged, since they are always insecure or feel unwanted.

I wonder if there ever such a man that is both Edward and Jacob? Hmmm.. well, I feel my Laogong is the closest I can find so far :P Hahaha...

Actually I think every man has a combined personality of both Edward and Jacob. Some personalities are more conscious than the other, and some has another subconscious personality which they may not be aware of.

But seriously, every man will like to manipulate or be manipulated at the right time. It's all about timing and moderation. And if you know how to play the game, you simply can get any man in the world you want :)




And yes, I will want to watch the 4th movie of Twilight if there is going to be a 4th movie :)

Oh yaa, many girls are still screaming in the cinema whenever Jacob took over his shirt or appear topless

First Day as a Working Mother...

When Pyone told me Jamie missed me a lot today and was crying for me in the afternoon, my heart really hurts. But I know I need to work still. I kept reminding myself and Jamie that it's for our own good that I work.

Frankly I enjoyed my first day at work today!!! And I am looking forward to more new tasks and more new things to learn everyday too!

It makes me feel good to be back at a work station and feeling useful to an Organization once again. I think it is very hard for someone has been working since she graduated to really stop working and be a Stay-at-Home Mother. Maybe some women do enjoy staying home and spending 24hrs with their children. But I know after a few months of motherhood, that it is just not me. Even if I am not working full time, I will need my personal time too! I need to meet my friends, go for ladies night out and do my massages/facials or just go shopping alone. I used to be afraid of being alone when I was single, but after I was married and now with Jamie, I really appreciate and treasure every bit of lonely time I have. Sometimes, I wish I can have more lonely time even.

I do miss Jamie and I feel that I appreciate her even more now that I cannot see her so often. I really hope she feels the same too, and not drifted away from me instead. I promised her I will find time to bring her out or even get her to participate in my workplace events especially when she is older.

I had never missed her so much. I practically flew my way home wishing to see her ASAP...I hope to decorate my work station with more of Jamie's photos soon. And Jamie was soo sweet when she saw me! She wants me to hug her all night!!! And guess what, she even woke up early enough to receive a super kiss from me before I set off to work. And tonight she slept early too. Maybe she wishes to receive a hug from me tomorrow morning too.

And yes, I am slowly bringing all my barang barang to work. Feeling very at home already :) The colleagues are really nice. Even helped us to make orange juice for lunch! So nice of them!!! And since lunch is provided so it's really enjoyable to sit around at the table together to eat and chat at the same time. Yeah, no need to squeeze and sweat at the eateries. We can eat in peace at our own pantry.

And we have so many things in the pantry that we will never go hungry. Think we need to be really discipline so as not to put on too much weight. I remember I put on like 4-6kg the last time I worked here. So I really need to discipline myself.

Since we have microwave, steamer, induction stove, juicer, toaster/oven etc etc etc, we can cook anytime we like too! So Cool right!

Really looking forward to grow old in this Organization!

Jiayou Jiayou Jiayou Jolene~!!!
