Pork burgers - best seller or not?

Anyone tried this pork burger from Ninja Joe?
It can be found in Tropicana Mall.


Size wise the burger was 'are-you-kidding-me?-this-small'
Hubby finished it in 3 bites.
Price wise was 'are-you-kidding-for-this-size?'
2 burgers were about RM9+.
Taste wise was 'I-think-I-can-do-better!'

Verdict - first time and last time.
Next time we will jsut go back to McD.
The person who told us it was really nice
must have been really hungry
and had a really small stomach!
Sigh....but now that I have mentioned it
How many of you actually feel like trying it?
The place is actually quite full during weekends.
Wonder if it is just for the novelty of it
Or that there really is a market for pork burgers!

When we need it most

Sometimes when the going gets tough....
When we are gearing up for change....
When we voice our fears....
When we try hard to remain positive....
When we cling to the last straw of hope....
When we want to give up....
When we get tired but know we have to go on....

Give me an encouraging word.
Else please don't tell me anything at all.

My way may be different from yours.
You may not agree with my methods.
You may not even agree with my timing.

But it is my choice.
And if there is no harm from trying and continuing.
And if you cannot stand by my decisions.
Walk away.
But don't tell me anything negative.
Because sometimes.....

Note to self : toilet-training-full-gear-ahead

This is to remind myself that as of 26th Jan 2010, I started toilet training Christopher.

  • As of now, he doesn't seem to have control over his bladder. I am beginning to notice that he stops and thinks and then pees within a few seconds.
  • And I think he is beginning also to understand the consequences of this feeling he is getting and then what happens after that - which is a wet floor and wet pants.
  • He is starting to become conscious of what I mean by "shee shee", "wetting his pants" and my reaction to it.
  • He repeats after me that "Big boy, no diaper." and "Shee shee tell mummy."

We shall see how it goes.

Admittedly so far, I have been very lazy to toilet train him. What with the issue of public toilets!!!

But well....training pants out are out. We now have an extra towel downstairs and we have bought him extra pants. Full gear ahead!

But sometimes when I am doubled over wiping the floor I am wondering.....

By the way, my other resolution beginning this year is to wean him off his thumb!

Sometimes.....I can't do it anymore

Sometimes.....and only sometimes....

I feel I can't do this anymore.....being a mum, that is.

Had changed the sheets yesterday afternoon.
Christopher's cough was very much improved.
Runny nose stopping once in a while.
Hubby was feeling alright.
I...well....

Wasn't done with the laundry yet.
And then....

This morning at 5+ am, hubby woke me up.
Boyboy's nose was bleeding.
Turned on the lights.
The clean sheets were stained red - double bed and single bed.
Including 2 pillow cases and his bolster.
Boyboy's PJs were also stained red.
His whole face was clogged with blood.
His hands were filled with dried blood.

He was still sleeping when we turned on the lights.
Took a warm cloth to try to wipe his face.
He threw such a tantrum.
Took me a good 30 min to clean him up and get him into his clothings.
Apparently part of the tantrum was becuase he didn't want to sleep anymore and I was asking him to wear his long pants and shirt.
Until I realised it was already 6+ am.

Time for me to get to work.
Hubby looked at me.....he wanted more sleep.

I looked at him. I looked at boyboy. I looked at the double pile of sheets.
Sheets to be soaked.
Time for me to get to work.
What do I do with boyboy?
How do I stop these surprises?

Chinese New Year is coming.
For some, it's a time to let go and eat!!!
For me, I am thinking....how do I stop the enthusiastic relatives from overfeeding my son with mandarin oranges and nga ku chips and any other cookies for that matter?
So that at least he will eat his proper meals and not get a heaty body?

He walloped a whole half jar of nga ku chips only the night before. I am thinking if this was the reason why his nose suddenly bled this wee morning.

I am so tired. Sometimes I can't do this anymore. But I have another baby on the way. And 2 kids will require so much more from me.

Parenting. You love it and sometimes want to escape from it.

Westin weekend!

We had a free voucher to stay in either Westin, Sheraton or Le Meridien which was expiring in June. Decided to use it before I become too big to enjoy any of the hotel facilities i.e. swimming!

So, this was our weekend:

Boyboy always loves hotel beds partly coz he loves to snuggle in between mummy and daddy!

Loved the fact that Westin gave me mugs to drink my tea in!

Do you see what I see?

Some of our catch from the buffet table!

Boyboy enjoying the spread !!!

(yes....he had popcorn and candy floss!

And surprise surprise, he loves pineapple!)

Nothing like brewed coffee to round up the meal, the stay and the weekend!

***

We went swimming too but didn't manage any photos coz I was in the pool with Christopher and hubby was in the gym!

We ate in Lot10's new food court - supposedly all the great famous stalls from Petaling Street had been moved there. The beed noodles sucked! BUt heard the wanton noodles with duck was good.

Also ate in Pavillion foodcourt. And bought tea from The Loaf.

By the way, the cherry blossoms are out on the streets of Pavillion! Go check it out!

We are hoping to cover Malacca and Camerons before April is due.
