An old wives' tale

My mother in law says :

Look at the crown of the child before. If the crown of hair curls/falls clockwise the next kid will be a girl. If the hair falls/curls anti-clockwise, the next kid will be a boy.

Hope you know what I mean!

Anyone want to proof this theory?

Christopher's falls clockwise. (smiles)

Christopher in action

What has boyboy been up to?

Talking on the phone with kungkung (my dad).
He always asks me if he can talk to kung kung on the phone. And it delights him to no end when the phone rings. He will be the first one to rush and pick it up.

As of now, no other person calls us except kungkung and pohpoh (my mum), so we allow him the luxury of picking up the phone. He does it well with a "Hello. Christopher here." But that is provided you understand what he says. And talk and talk to him with only an occasional word or two from his limited vocabulary.

The other surprising thing he is into now is MY house! The Lego house, I mean.

Haven't uploaded the photo of him studying the house yet. But this was the house I made and he is opening the front door, the roof window, the back door and other windows and squeezing his fingers inside.

The letter box and the BBQ set gets dislodged ever so often and he will exclaim "oh!oh!" and give it to me. Coz he knows this belongs to mummy and if he drops it on the floor or spoils anything, he will get into TROUBLE. "Mummy angry no, ok?" he will look at me 'beggingly', hoping I wouldn't take the house away from his rough playing! :)

Of course I don't. It can be rebuilt after all.....even though he did take off the roof that day!!!

By the way, my favourite fruit is back in season and so cheap! Yummy....it is orange and has dark brown seeds. I love it when it is just going soft. Can you guess what it is?

All about the airplane

What can I say about this Penang trip?

It was really totally all about the airplane.

We went out to eat 2 times. Once in the foodcourt opposite Swatow Lane for lunch and the other time at a coffee shop near Swatow Lane for breakfast. I was totally disappointed both times.

Ordered Laksa for lunch that didn't meet up to the sourness, spiciness or the quality. Ordered Koay Teoy Ting (fishball noddles) for breakfast and ended up with more Pork noodles that Fish!!!

Any all other talk of the day was about Christopher in the airplane and the lollipops he got to eat (courtesy of his kungkung).

Of course, we attended the wedding which of course ended up with some rumours. And yes, hubby had a good time since some of his buddies were also invited.

Good thing we rented a car. Cost us RM129 for 24 hours (and a bit). Managed to go around the next morning.

Went to Gurney Drive and had trouble getting the kid back into the ar. It didn't help that I was as mad as him in jumping and running and enjoying myself. Gurney Drive does bring back childhood memories to me too!

One good foodie that I found good though was the fried carrot cake we had in one chinese restaurant in Midland Plaza. It had the right amount of spiciess and was very very tasty. Not too oily too. Reckon it was partly due to the unsatisfied craving from breakfast (where I wanted Char Koay Teow (fried noodles) but the guy refused to take my order!!!).

oh...and the plane ride was easy peasy! :) No ear ache whatsoever. Maybe it had to do with my insisting he swallow saliva every other minute, opening his mouth like a goldfish (I had to open mine in return) and his multiple sips of water (which ended up in 3 wet pants by the time we landed).

Christopher of course didn't keep to his seat especially the trip back since he realised he could get away with it (partly) and that it was more fun sitting on mummy's lap looking out of the window. But all in all, when the seatbelt sign was on, he tried very hard to keep in his cannot-see-anything-middle seat!

Now....hubby is talking about going back again before I deliver. Next time we will drive up!



Kiddo all smiles in the airplane!

By the way, the bleeding was due to a fibroid in my uterus.

Spotting again

This morning, I noticed that I was staining (again).
And given tommorrow I will be flying to Penang, I guess I should go see the doctor to rule out anything.

Must be the stress of the pass few days! Coz I doubt the lingering overwhelming smell of paint in the office has anything to do with it.

Well, we shall have to see what happens at the doctors. Better safe than sorry.

In the Lord I place my trust!

Stolen Car

Hubby's car was stolen yesterday....well to be exact, sometime between Sunday night and Monday morning.

It was a real headache getting the police report and now with the insurance claim.

We will have to get a new car nevertheless.....and that is quite tiring when you don't have a downpayment ready (no car to trade in), insufficient savings and expectations of more expenditure when the #2 comes.

It is between a Honda City, Vios, Persona or a second hand car now.

And now I have to add stroller and car seat to my list of shopping needed to be done.

I don't want to sigh.....but I feel it coming.
