Latest Stunt

Few months ago, Jesse started to climb her baby cot. But that time she only climb at a lower level. Recently, she tried to climb higher. She wanna get into her cot by climbing the side and of coz she gets stuck every time.

When she cannot manage to climb in, she will shout for help.

BabyLegs Model

Last weekend, we bought some babylegs. I got to know these products last year when Jesse was about 9 months old. But we never got the chance to get it here as there is no stockist in Brunei and we can't order online as they don't ship to Brunei.

Few days ago, while I was looking through some baby products through internet, I found out that babylegs has stockist in Brunei. Immediately, I emailed them. We went over to their place on Saturday and this is what we got for both our kids.

As their stock is limited, we only managed to get these. We will order the one we like as they have new shipment coming soon.

We have managed to snap some shots of them wearing it. Samuel loves them very much. He even request to wear them during his nap.

New Car, New Bed :)

It reminded me of a TV series that i used to watch a long time ago called "Silver Spoons". I remember this TV series, a little boy, Ricky, has all the cool toys and fancy furnitures in his house. One of the things that i can remember very clearly was his "car bed". For those who is familiar with 1980s TV series, you will know it. :)

Today, daddy and mummy decided to get Samuel a new bed. A Little Tikes Sports Car Twin Bed. Samuel was so happy today when he saw the bed in his room. :) It took him a long time to fall asleep as he was still so happy that his new bed is actually a racing car.

Something that daddy has dreamt of having when daddy was a kid is now, in reality, Samuel's bed :)

iPhotos

Recently I am busy with iphoto. Finally we can print our own album here in Brunei. We have been very reluctant to do the album for the children as we will need to order them online.

There are many designs and layouts to choose from iphoto. I have had a hard time choosing the one I like coz I like most of them hahaha... Because we wanted to do the hardcover type, and because the photo paper is thin, we will need at least 60 pages to look nice. It does not look nice with the hard cover album with only 40 pages, which is the standard album.

I wanted to do the magazine type ie. the soft cover but daddy prefers hard cover.

End of Term 2

Saturday was Samuel's last day of his school term. On Friday, we went for parent teacher interview. His teacher did not talk much about his progress. She mentioned that most of the time, he will take his own sweet time to do his own things. Sometimes, they will have to request him to do it faster. He doesn't have the sense of urgency. Again she told us that we should bring Samuel to see a child psychiatrist.

The teacher suspects that he has Obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD). The reason she said so is because of his obsession in fear of dirt and sound. I tried and read about OCD but I can't really relate him with OCD.

Fathers Day Gifts

Yesterday was Samuel's last day of school before the school holidays. He also had his poetry recital in school so he was dressed casually with his white gloves. He was presenting "Hickory Dickory Dock" that day. When daddy and mumy picked him up in school, he came back to daddy's car with a Father's Day Card. He didn't want to give it to me, probably not knowing that it was actually made to be given to Daddy. hehe. My very first Father's Day Card... :)

Later in the day, Daddy and Mummy sent Samuel to his music class while Jesse rested at home. Mummy got daddy his Father's Day Gift! It is a cool portable DVD/CD player. Daddy was and is still very impressed with it. Initially mummy wanted to get daddy an Apple iPod, having 2 little ones, daddy felt that it was more practical to get a portable DVD/CD player instead. hehe.

Some of the things that this LG DVD/CD player impresses daddy is that it is not only a DVD player that plays the normal DVD, DVD-R, DVD+R, VCD, Audio CD, MP3, DivX, wma, jpeg, etc...

It has this amazing USB input. I can put any movies, photos and mp3 on my pendrive and it can play it from there. With the USB input, i tried putting my USB SD Cardreader. It works too. So i can just put any big SD/MMC cards and view the videos and photos. (better than an Apple iPod, right?) hehe.

Besides the normal Audio Video Output, it also has an Audio Video Input. So i can actually plug my playstation or nintendo wii on it and play from this small dvd player. Its so cool!

To keep the kids happy, the bag that it came with, can be opened up, flipped over and zipped and can be tied to the back of the driver's car seat. It becomes an instant (portable) car DVD player too.

Daddy is so happy :) Thank you Jesse, Samuel and Mummy. Fathers Day will not be of any meaning without any one of you. Daddy loves you!

1st Trimester Pregnant

Nope, I'm not pregnant but I feel like I'm in my 1st trimester. After taking the medicine yesterday night, I felt extremely tired (different kind of tired, like the ones in the 1st trimester).

I woke up this morning, feeling extremely tired and no energy. We sent Samuel to school then went for breakfast, before we went back and rest. As Jesse is still recovering, she is very manja. I tried not to let her see me, else she will cry and manja even more.

I had a short nap before we went and pick Samuel at 11.30am. Came back not long I slept again. I did not eat much for lunch as I don't have the appetite to eat, too fatigue to eat.

I woke up about 2.30pm and by this time, Jesse was much better and refuse to take her nap eventhough she was very tired. Daddy fed her fever medicine at 1pm as she was still having fever.

This is the 2nd time I took this medicine. I wanted to avoid this but I need to recover fast. It is already 7pm now and almost 24hours since I took this medicine and I think I can still sleep for the next 24hours!

Family Package

On Wednesday, daddy visited the clinic as he was having fever due to his infection caused by his severe allergy. He was on steriods AGAIN. But this time was a different type. He is still on medication and his condition hasn't really improved.

Daddy's medicine

Jesse's Medicine

Mummy's medicine

Samuel's Medicine

Yesterday night, Jesse started to have running nose and mild fever. Today daddy brought her to see the paedatrician. We think that her condition must be serious as the paed usually doesn't prescribe antibiotics.

Later afternoon, I went and see doctor as I felt that my condition was not really good. I have blocked nose since yesterday.

This morning I heard Samuel coughing as well. So we decided to put him on medication.

I am clearing my annual leaves for the next 2 weeks. We will be flying back to Malaysia for a week. I pray that all of us will recover before we leave for KL.

A Melted Daddy

These 3 simple words are not just written (without any assistance) on a doodle board... they are engraved deeply in daddy's heart...

She is Not Simon from "Alvin and The Chipmunks"

Samuel loves to watch Alvin and The Chipmunks. Although at times he is afraid of that show, especially the part when Dave shouts for Alvin. His reason is that it was very loud when he calls for Alvin.

Everytime when Dave gives Simon the specs, he will request Jesse to put on hers as well. Jesse is his version of Simon, the chipmunk.
