Valentine Dinner

Hubby asked me where to celebrate this year Valentine, after thinking that we will need to bring Anna along no matter where we go, we decided to do this at home :)

The dinner was prepared and cooked by me, ready in 30 minutes:)
I grilled a boneless chicken (marinated with oyster sauce and onion for 2 days), steam a sweet corn and brocoli and some french fries. It is a simple yet very yummy, the chicken really turn out well, juicy, tender and taste reallygood.


This is the dinner's bill :

1.Marrinated Boneless Chicken - RM 15
2.Premium Sweet Corn - RM 3
3.Brocolli - RM 2
4.French Fries - RM 2
5. Sparkling Juice - RM 4.90
6. Love and Labor - PRICELESS!!!

During dinner time, I turned on Barney cd for Anna, so she can watched her favourite show, so me and hubby can have our candle light dinner peacefully. Me and hubby"found out "we actually know each other for 9 years and married for 7 years! This fact really surprise us, times fly! I am so glad that we still in love with each other very much, and we are blessed with Anna and baby Isaac in our marriage.

Just want to tell my hubby again, I love you :)

My Super Lazy Maid!

Finally, we decided to send my maid home after all the nonsense things that she did, she really challenged me till my maximum limit! When I asked her to bring the washed floor mat to upstairs and hang it at the balcony, she brought it up and hangs it on sofa!!! Yet, when I asked her, she said "sudah jemur luar"(I can hear from downstairs whether she open the glass door and the gate or not). When I walked up, and confront her, she gives me an ignorance look and said"Sini pun boleh kering"! Vomit blood or not??!! 

She also refused to wash her own clothes; she kept her dirty clothes in her room, and wears it again and again without washing it. When I tell her that she MUST wash her clothes daily, she answered me " Tak apalah, saya boleh pakai macam ini". She even used my house phone without approval and she had told us many many stories to cover all her lies. Deep in my heart, I really can’t trust her anymore.  I don’t even want her to wash Anna's bottles. So ended up, I had a maid at home and I still doing most of the house work. 

 

I always tell my husband we had hired a rich women work for us, why I said so? Coz she can finish 1 bottle sunlight dishwasher in a week, 1 little floor cleaner in 10 days and her toothbrush need to be change every 2 weeks!

After we have talked to her so many times about her working attitudes, and there is still no improvement and it even go worst, we made out our mind and decided to send her back on Sunday after church service. I only ask her to pack her luggage 15 minutes before we left the house. I don’t want to give her any chance to do anything awful, and I know if she had the chance she will! We don’t want to talk to her about this anymore, we just keep remind her we need to leave the house in 15 minutes time, and ask her make sure she take all her belonging. 

Finally, I am maidless again, but yet I rather to do all the house works compare to have a bad attitude maid staying with me.

Anna, Milk Bottle & Formula

I had successfully breastfeed Anna till she is 13 months, but I had a very challenging time to wean her from breast milk. My first challenge was, Anna refuse to suck from bottle. I had many different type and brand of teats and bottle at my house, Avent, Nuk, Medela...None of it she takes. Finally she choose Pigeon bottle! (Slap my forehead!)

So, the first issue settled. Second, I had to find the right formula for her. Again, I had to ask around in the supermarket for free sample. Enfa, S26, Nespray, Dutch Lady ...Anna spilled out every single sip! Finally, I got her soy base formula, Isomil. This is the last brand that available in the market and yet had not been rejected by Ms Fussy. Thanks God, she accept it and finish the 8oz of milk for the first time. The weaning process took nearly a month!

After 2-3 months, I changed her to Mamil Gold, and glad that she just takes it and didn’t notice the changes.

My little madam never hold her own bottle. She wants me to hold her in my arm and feed her. But out of sudden, yesterday she took the bottle from me, and go up the sofa and finished her milk. Me and daddy praise her and give her a big hug. Guess she know her little brother is on his way, so she behave more like a jie jie now :)
