Wall stickers decoration

It was quite a hit now in playing wall stickers. I know it from a Multiply seller when Mummy Moon first show it to me. I'm was not really interested at that time as I'm afraid it may cause the wall paint comes off.

A week later after I know this thing, I saw it selling at the morning market and it is much more cheaper (4 pcs for RM10) than those from Multiply. I quickly inform Moon on that and she grab some too.

After I see some results on wall decorated with these stickers, it is very nice and brighten up the plain wall. I wanted to try that out too! This wall stickers cannot simply paste for fun with any design else it creates a messy look. You can check out at Moon's place on her wall sticker's placement. It also needs some creative idea on where you want to place it.

Last week, I bought 2 different design wall stickers to try, RM2 each. There got many other designs like loving couple series, Disney series, black graphic series, plant series, garden series, kid series and etc. Glass stickers also available too.

The train set I plan to put on the wall next to our bed. The sea world one will paste it in the washroom. The stickers need to be peel off carefully, else will get a taring edge, if pull off too hard.


This is how it looks like. I should paste it to goes a bit uneven, it looks quite a straight line there. Nevermind la, I lazy to peel off and put again. The boy likes it so much and he did help me in pasting it up. He keeps gazing at it, counting the stars and naming all the animals till past his nap hours, LOL!

The sticker is not sticky type and hard to pull off kind. I don't think it will cause the wall goes dirty after it remove. So I think it is alright to play with it.

Seriously no appetite

Yesterday I experienced another hard day of feeding the boy. Guess what? he took 3.5 hours to finish his dinner! Oh, it is not, cannot even finish, left 2 spoons. I’m so so fed-up of him since lunch (2 hrs and 10 mins). I finally raise the balloon plastic stick and beat him kuat kuat during 2 meals time, no matter how I coax, scold, force, chase him out and even beaten, all done - he still keep the food in the mouth. I fed almost wanted to cry, it is like a war time when comes to eating time.

Why? Why? Only meal times he was like that, I really cannot understand, if given milk, biscuit, snacks or Yakult, all no problem, gone within minutes. Is this the sign of no appetite? I try to find out, maybe he got new teeth to sprout or throat ulcer? No, I don’t find any too.

Since last week, this is how he ate, he chew till very fine and half swallow, then follow I put in another small spoon. He kept chewing till don’t want to swallow and then he pull the bowl near to his mouth and spit out the mouth full of food. The whole bowl of rice keep doing like that, does he have any food down the stomach? I think very little only, coz he kept spit out and I put in another fresh spoonful. Yesterday night, by force I still keep feeding him back those he spit out. So, when all done it is 12 midnight. I gone insane and fuming, the boy not dare to ask for his bedtime milk and slept quietly. This morning, after a bottle of milk, I cooked some sausages, egg and baked bean for him only, he took almost 2 hours to finish. Now, I suspect he may got worms in his stomach.

My aunty know my hard feeding time and she recommended this traditional med to me for improve appetite. It is a powder base med and got to eat for 2 weeks time (twice a day) till he shows the sign of willing to eat with good appetite. She told me this works on her grandchildrens and no hesitation I get one and try on the boy.

Digexin 30g
The description says can improve appetite, indigestion, relieve cough and stomach discomfort. RM 10 for this 30g bottle. I hope it helps before I get the Appeton Multivitamin with Lysine.

# Not to travel now

The strike of Influenza A(H1N1) really hit us a lot, especially to those who need to travel frequent and those who love travelling. They need to filter out those country with high cases of disease death and infection; avoid getting there if possible and also need to take extra precaution like wearing mask and self-quarantine when back from overseas.

For me in seeing the seriousness of this disease spread, I rather stay back now not to go on any trip. Maybe I can use the trip money on my Christmas shopping later and get hubby a Jack Georges leather briefcase, a Lexington Collection - Sophia handbag for mum and a day tote canvas bag for myself. Yippie! I'm sure everyone will be very surprise.

# Health stocking

I got a girl friend who always loves to dress up and make up. Whenever we wanted to ask her out, we need to inform her 2 hours before hand in order for herself to have enough time to get ready. There was once I'm waiting her to get ready in her bedroom, I saw lots of stocking in her wardrobe. I was so surprise why she needs so many and in different length too.

Actually she was so mind the minor scar on her knee; she always needs to wear a sock to cover it. Not only that, she likes the series of jobst ultrasheer pantyhose and Knee Hi stocking because it able to give compression to her thigh and leg in help to create a silky looks and optimizing the leg health. Wow, see her pair of leg also well taken care of, no wonder the leg is so fair and smooth.

I took one of that and try on; really I love the soft and light feel very much. It certainly different from the regular pantyhose stocking I'm having. Looks like I need to get some for myself and my mum too. The Jobst UltraSheer stocking comes with few designs, all sizes and compression strength to suit your needs and different style of wearing. This high quality health stocking and socks are able to help those with venous disease, swelling problem and tired aching leg.

Lessons of Life

Got this in the morning and I think it serves a good reminder and encouragement at anytime and anything happen in our life. Do read on! This is something we should all read at least once a week!

Written By Regina Brett, 90 years old, of the local newspaper "The Plain Dealer", Cleveland, Ohio.

"To celebrate growing older, I once wrote the 45 lessons life taught me. It is the most-requested column I've ever written."

My odometer rolled over to 90 in August, so here is the column once more:

1. Life isn't fair, but it's still good.

2. When in doubt, just take the next small step.

3. Life is too short to waste time hating anyone.

4. Your job won't take care of you when you are sick. Your friends and parents will. Stay in touch.

5. Pay off your credit cards every month.

6. You don't have to win every argument. Agree to disagree.

7. Cry with someone. It's more healing than crying alone.

8. It's OK to get angry with God. He can take it.

9. Save for retirement starting with your first paycheck.

10. When it comes to chocolate, resistance is futile.

11. Make peace with your past so it won't screw up the present.

12. It's OK to let your children see you cry.

13. Don't compare your life to others. You have no idea what their journey is all about.

14. If a relationship has to be a secret, you shouldn't be in it.

15. Everything can change in the blink of an eye.

16. Take a deep breath. It calms the mind.

17. Get rid of anything that isn't useful, beautiful or joyful.

18. Whatever doesn't kill you really does make you stronger.

19. It's never too late to have a happy childhood. But the second one is up to you and no one else.

20. When it comes to going after what you love in life, don't take no for an answer.

21. Burn the candles, use the nice sheets, wear the fancy lingerie. Don't save it for a special occasion. Today is special.

22. Over prepare, then go with the flow.

23. Be eccentric now. Don't wait for old age to wear purple.

24. The most important sex organ is the brain.

25. No one is in charge of your happiness but you.

26. Frame every so-called disaster with these words 'In five years, will this matter?'

27. Always choose life.

28. Forgive everyone everything.

29. What other people think of you is none of your business.

30. Time heals almost everything. Give time time.

31. However good or bad a situation is, it will change.

32. Don't take yourself so seriously. No one else does.

33. Believe in miracles.

34. God loves you because of who God is, not because of anything you did or didn't do.

35. Don't audit life. Show up and make the most of it now.

36. Growing old beats the alternative -- dying young.

37. Your children get only one childhood.

38. All that truly matters in the end is that you loved.

39. Get outside every day. Miracles are waiting everywhere.

40. If we all threw our problems in a pile and saw everyone else's, we'd grab ours back.

41. Envy is a waste of time. You already have all you need.

42. The best is yet to come.

43. No matter how you feel, get up, dress up and show up.

44. Yield.

45. Life isn't tied with a bow, but it's still a gift.

# Poor medical service

Last year when Terry got hospitalised in the sucks P*NTAI hospital for burn, I got so much to say and complain to the medical team and nursing staff there. They were not professional and attentive to the patient's needs but very good in billing the patient for every single little things, especially if you are a medical card holder.

There was once when Terry pushed out from the icey cold OT, I found him all over looks purple and pale. The recovery bay nurse not even covered him up with heated blanket or set up a warmer for him until I open my mouth and ask for it. What if I'm not allow to go in to be with my boy, I'm sure he will get sick. This hospital don't deserved a single credit from me. When I check through a total of 200+ pages of itemised bill the warm blanket were actually charged seperately.

Child Safety Harness Leash

Kid harness and handstrap leash is a common thing in foreign country. I remembered back in 20 years ago, my aunt has been using it on my little cousin (aged 1+), when they need to go on board to and fro UK, Libya and Malaysia. She was alone with the boy in those days and because of this harness strap, it keeps the boy safe in her hand all times.

That was the first time I came to know of this leash and I'm pretty impress of the benefits. It's really a great helping hand when the kid got leash on. My aunt got less worried of the boy will get lost when she check-in, boarding, transit, pick-up luggages, push trolley and walking up and down at the crowded airport.

Comes to now, I used one on Terry too when he was 2.5 years old as I helpless when I shop alone with the boy. He likes to walk by himself, without letting me to hold his hand, carry or pull me to anywhere he wants to reach. I hardly get my shopping done, just keep busy chasing and my eyes tailing after him. Sometimes when he really not behave, it really makes me like a mad woman scolding him in the public.

When I first introduced this to him, he finds it so interesting and very co-operate to let me put it on. Maybe because during our few shopping trips with Mummy Moon and Yan Yan, he saw Yan wearing a harness handstrap backpack before and he finds it fun. He is very happy when I got it for him. He even remind me to put on whenever we goes shopping. He called this a "school bag", LOL! cause it is something over his shoulder.

It is uncommon to leash our kids here. Many parents think that the kiddo looks like a pet after leash on and some disagree using it as it limits the kid's freedom to explore. My cousin SIL (who is a mummy too) even scolded me before for leashing on Terry. To me, his safety comes more important than he looks like a pet or what. The society here also makes me so insecure when bringing a kid out. With the harness strap, I got the better secure feel especially when walk in a crowded place. He can simply walk out of my sight, if he not allows me to hold him tight. Besides that, I can immediately pull him away from prohibit area or dangerous zone before I fast enough to stop/ reach him. If my hands full of carriage, I'm not worried too, as the strap will be hanging across my wrist. It gives me a peace of mind too if I want to check out something from the shelf and let go his hand. For the boy, he can walk slightly free within a few meters away from me.

I'll only use this when we're not going out with daddy. Normally when me and Mummy Moon go shopping with kids, we both will leash them up. It draws attention to many pairs of eye looking on us and the kiddo. Some looks so surprise on it and I even over heard people comment about us when walk pass them.

I got this The First Years Elmo 2-in-1 harness & handstrap at Pavillion Parkson's baby section. It cost RM32.90, if I'm not mistaken. It is very easy to wear on, self-fastener velcro strip closure on the back. Others leash design which can find are like keeper bag with strap*, plush toy harness & hand strap and wrist harness handstrap.

If you have an active curious toddler, this is your best choice for outing, shopping and travelling. What do you think?

# Safety gets monitor

I got a friend who complaining to me recently, she got big problem looking after her dad who strike on Alzheimer's disease not long ago. His behavior is getting terrible day by day. No one at home can stand his bad emotion. At times, he got so frustrated and emotional throw up badly, maybe he knows that he got no used now and every day got to close up at home.

There was once when he went out for a slow evening walk and end up found him at police station cause he forgot the way to get home. Everybody is worried sick of his well-being, what if he not found in police station and lost in somewhere else. They can't accept if anything happens to him.

Probably the first thing they can help him is to make sure that he is safe and secure all time. The BrickHouse Alert Home System may come helpful in this case. It is a Medical Alert provider offers 24/7 fall detection medical alarm. It is device to wear on and it helps to monitor a person safety. In any emergency happen, with a press of panic button, he will get instant connected to live help. This Medical Alert alarm also good for those with senior or elder at home, it is good to carry one and you won't feel helpless if any accident happen to you.

# Pool game

A night out with friends for some drink is not complete without some dart game or pool. I played a few times before on the pool table and I enjoy playing it very much. Many times we just play for fun and we also enjoy watching others playing. I'm sure if I played often (means in other words giving myself more chances to go down to the club, LOL!) I think my skill can be brush up.

Besides playing it, whenever there is snooker competitions live on TV or in the club, we will go support and cheering for them too. It was just as excited as I'm playing at the table. The most I admired is the Pool Cue hold by some players. The high quality pool cue stick from pooldawg.com is real cool. It comes with many attractive graphic skin designs to choose from and many brands are available with affordable price. I'm sure every player depends a lot on the pool cue to give in the best hit.

Pooldawg.com also offering many pool cue tools and accessories like shaft, chalks, billiard ball sets and etc. I'm glad in one of the club in town I'm going, there are offering their customer to play with the branded pool cue. It’s really comes a lot of different than holding the regular one.
