Nicole is 5 months old now.
She starts learning crawling we believe.
When we put her down on bed, she likes to roll over to her tummy position, all the time. She can move herself to left and right, sometimes 180 degree, like a clock, when she wants to reach out of her toys or us;
and she also likes to move backward using her hand.
Now she's trying to lift up her bottom to move forward. Vic said baby Nicole knows how to pose downward facing dog position,
Hehe, my yoga baby :D
** **
BB also start holding her own bottle when we feed her.
Normally she stops drinking when there is 1 ounce of milk left in the bottle.
Few days ago I let her hold the bottle herself, and she can do it pretty well and continue drinking the remaining.
Now I'll just let her play with the milk bottle at the end of feeding.
Sometimes she pokes the nipple wrongly to her nose, and sometimes she spills milk all over the place, or even drop the bottle, but that doesn't matter at all.
I like to see her playing while learning new skills everyday ~
** **
Suddenly wondered why I have such a good mood this morning, then realized it's because of my little baby :)
She always have very good mood in morning, and I really enjoy the our time together every morning (if I don't need to rush to work for meeting).
She likes to play herself in her cot, turn around, play and messing up with her toys, calling us to hug her...
Sometimes I'll put her with us on our bed. She likes to turn and trying to touch my nose. When she did finally, she will give me a big sweet smile :)
Today, I can hear her baby talk to me:
"al.... faaaa",
"umm... pah",
"ah... maa",
"pa.. pa"...
My sweetie, when can I hear you calling me "mommy"? :)

惜福
生活中总有许多大大小小，琐琐碎碎的事情让人烦心，但是却忘了身边垂手可得的幸福。
如果问我，十年前的我，能够想象现在的我是这么的生活着的吗?
我想,我不能.我现在过得,比十年前的我能想象的,要好.
有一个爱家的先生,一个可爱的女儿,一份还不错的工作, I can't ask for more.
告诉自己,要珍惜啊~

三十而立
2011年5月4日，我三十了。
如果能活到六十岁的话，我的人生已过了一半。。。
但，现在的我，却没很热衷的打算该如何庆祝生日，
另一个人生更大的改变在等着降临。。。
* * *
等待，再等待，我只期望宝宝能健康平安的诞生。
宝宝已经overdue了，有一点担心。
今天医生说我们可以选择催生，但我又还没有心理准备要生了。。。 有点可笑吧！
两个星期前当第一次阵痛开始时，我整晚不能睡，以为要生了。
过后差不多每晚的阵痛，我开始有心理准备，打算随时入院。
但一天一天过去，宝宝还是乖乖的睡在肚子里，听她爸爸的话，没打算提早出来。。。
5月3日是预产期，当医生问我们要不要催生时，我竟有点紧张，觉得自己还没准备好，
有点临阵想逃脱的感觉。。。
最后与医生 约定再等多几天，如果还没消息才催生。
有点害怕，听说催生会比较痛。。。 am I ready for it??
三十岁的生日是特别的，因为有她。
最近特别喜欢看人家的宝宝，觉得每个宝宝都好可爱，希望自己的宝贝也是一样的可爱 :)
满满的母爱，等待着小公主的诞生。。。
* * *
最近喜欢晚上和他一起冲杯milo牛奶冰，然后两人窝在房间里看连续剧消磨时间。。。
怀孕期间，多多少少会忽略了他。有时他 会半开玩笑的说我冷落了他。
以前习惯枕着他的手臂入睡。怀孕后因为一直不舒服而习惯背着他，自己入眠了。
更多时候也因为容易累而早早入睡，错过了两人一直以来睡前聊天的亲密时光。
Fei, 谢谢你一路以来的陪伴和照顾。
知道我怀孕后期嗜吃甜食，常宠溺的带我到处去吃些甜品蛋糕的 :)
有时想想，怀孕是幸福的，尤其是拥有家人的疼爱与照顾。我想，这是我最怀念的吧 :)
* * *
我的人生，也许可分为三十前和三十后。
三十后，另一个阶段的开始。
期待，又紧张。
我，能应付得来吗？
一个小宝宝，一个生命，什么都不会，就是全心全意的依赖着你，
这个责任，是一生的甜蜜负担。

Coming Soon
Am 39 weeks pregnant now.
Baby is coming anytime...
Having false alarm since last Monday,
contraction started, not very painful but yet I could not sleep whole night.
Again, yesterday I think I lost part of my mucous plug,
and the contraction at night starting to be quite painful.
I thought today is the day,
yet another false alarm.
I can't wait to hold my little princess in my hand
and see her smiling at me ~
Pray,
for a safe delivery for both my baby and myself ~

Kids
Neighbour's kids came to our place to play. Vic brought out our BIG dog soft toy to play with them. The doggy is much much bigger then the 2 lovely kids, and they both love it. Later on, the elder sister, ard 5-6 years old, saw Vic putting back the doggy to sleep on our baby's cot. The little lady asked Vic: " Oh, you have a bed just for your dog?"
***
Vic also showed the kids our soft toy collections, including our Yong Mei and doggies. The kid asked if we have a shark. Vic then showed them the Shamu we bought from Sea World. The kid said: " This is not shark, this is killer whale". haha, you know your fish, kid...
***
Nowadays, kids are really smart. Most kids staying in our apartments are really well-mannered. They smile and greet you in lift. They are not too shy or quiet, very polite and well-mannered, yet still maintained their innocents and cuteness. I believe they have been raised and educated well by their parents. I guess patient, consistency and role-modeling is the key. Hopefully next time my little princess would be as cute and well-trained like these kids :)

Ante-natal class
Went for our first ante-natal class today, and it was a very good experience. I'd say it worth the money we paid for :P
4 sessions with 3 hours each, every Saturday from today onwards, we are going to learn a lot of pregnancy related knowledge, from preparation of parenthood, breast feeding, ante-natal exercise, delivery process to taking care of new born. What I like the most of today class is, our instructor threw us a lot of questions that we, as a couple, need to think about, before the baby is born.
An example is about the change of life. There will be lots of changes, either lifestyle, couple relationships or financial, that as couple, we do really need to sit down and discuss about it, and decide what would be best for both of us and the family. One question she asked was, do we want to put the baby as the center of our universe, or just part of our universe. Time management is very important for new parents especially. Sometimes couple might forgot about themselves or the spouse as they pay more attention to the baby, and it's actually not good to the couple relationship. I agree with this too. To me, even after having baby, I still want to have some time to myself or just me and him. One couple in the class said they have already planed for a trip together after the baby is born! I guess it's time for me and Victor to think more about this and plan for our future family lifestyle. After the baby is born, does it mean we cannot go travel, or cannot pak-tor just 2 of us anymore... ?
Another important thing that the instructor brought up is about role modeling, and that's the most important 'teaching' that we can do for our baby. I always want my kids to read more, then playing video games or watching too much TV during the early stage, but to achieve this, I guess we need to give a good example for the baby too, that's a lifestyle change from our side as well... =P
Most of the things taught in the class were kind of common sense, but sometimes we just don't really have detail thought about it, and without proper planning and thinking, time might just pass through and we might not do the right thing at right time, and by the time we realize, things might not go well the way we want it to be...
Moving into the new stage of my life, there are lots of things to prepare and to adapt with. I'm no longer the young and innocent girl who can do whatever I like. Sometimes when I'm alone, I can read a book overnight or watching TVB series until 4am. Now, I'm not just 'myself' anymore, I'm a wife, and going to be a mother soon. Am I ready for it....?

Rock-a-bye-baby
Vic sings this song every night to the baby before we sleep,
or anytime when he wanna talk to her.
Wonder next time she will ever remember this little moment with daddy :)
~~~
Rock-a-bye, baby
In the treetop
When the wind blows
The cradle will rock
When the bough breaks
The cradle will fall
And down will come baby
Cradle and all
Baby is drowsing
Cosy and fair
Mother sits near
In her rocking chair
Forward and back
The cradle she swings
And though baby sleeps
He hears what she sings
From the high rooftops
Down to the sea
No one's as dear
As baby to me
Wee little fingers
Eyes wide and bright
Now sound asleep
Until morning light
or anytime when he wanna talk to her.
Wonder next time she will ever remember this little moment with daddy :)

Eyes wide and bright

新年
好快，一个星期的新年假期就过去了。。。
回家真好！
这几天的我就只是爸爸妈妈的掌上明珠，什么事也不用做，
就只是吃饱就睡，睡醒就吃，才几天，体重又增加了不少！
照片看来，不止是肚子大了，脸 也圆了点。。。
这，也许就是所谓的‘养胎’吧 :)
爸妈疼我，很多事情都不让我做，
我像个大小姐似的在家休息了一个星期,尝遍了妈妈的拿手好菜,
爸爸还特地去订了盆菜来给我们试试。
就算我已快要三十岁的 人了，
在他们的眼里，
我永远是他们长不大的小女儿吧!

Kicking Hard
Baby is kicking hard recently… can really feel it now; it can be anytime, anyway. But when her daddy wanna listen to her, she’ll just keep quiet most of time, maybe she’s still shy to play to daddy yet… :)
Time flies… it’s already 6 months+. Once a while, I still can’t believe that I’ll be a mother very very soon. This is a little bit of surprise to both of us, but we are both happy about this sweet little surprise. Still remember when my monthly was late that time for 1-2 weeks, I already suspected about it. I could feel something is changing in my body, it’s just some kind of woman’s sixth sense, can’t explain it. The result from tester showed that my sixth sense is accurate ^^
I don’t know how I went through the first trimester. That’s was the toughest time for most preggies. I got tired easily that time, no mood to do anything, except sleep. No more facebook, no more shopping, no more chatting with friends, I had no energy to think of any other stuffs, my life was just eat, work and sleep, nothing else. I’m glad that finally I went through that time safely, and 2nd trimester was the most comfortable time. Finally I was back to normal, and I can start dressing up nicer, shopping for Christmas, plan for Christmas dinner in our apartment, and even went for a trip to Singapore and Sentosa!
Now it’s the start of 3rd trimester. Stomach getting bigger and bigger, and it’s now time to start buying all necessities to welcome the new family members. Shopping time again, and I really like to see those little clothes and little mitten, so cute ~~ Anyway, having a baby is expensive…
Having someone in your body is really an amazing experience, I just wish I can stay happy and optimistic most of time, so it can pass down to her and make her a happy baby next time :)

2011.01.01
1.1.11，又是新的一年了，祝大家新年快乐，Happy New Year 2011。
才刚刚新年，就收到了华人新年的春联了，也许该把圣诞装饰换成农历新年装饰了。。。
昨天晚上，在Vic 家放天灯庆祝新的一年的降临。第一次放天灯，紧张又好玩。尤其害怕不小心烧到邻居家造成火灾。还好昨晚天气非常好，无风少云，最适合放天灯了。我们买了三个，各自在灯上写下自己的愿望。大家一起合作扶着天灯，点上烛火，等热气灌满整个天灯后，让它慢慢飘起，越来越高。。。闭上眼睛，再次许下愿望，希望全家人身体健康，平安喜乐。。。
一月一号早上，每年Vic 家的例常活动就是参加吉隆坡台湾学校的庆祝活动，主要是到那儿去吃吃正统的台湾食物如牛肉面，鲁肉饭，炸鸡排等。
吃过了，又是一年了。。。
Wishing 2011 a much better year for everyone ~~

Resume...
好久没有上来了，这才发觉竟然一整年都没更新我的部落格。。。
Just discovered a blog of a colleague. She's a technical lead in our team, married mother with 2 kids, just 2-3 years older then me. When I first saw her, she looks like a "little women", 小女人. After I started working under her temporary recently, I was amazed by her technical knowledge. She's very sharp and fast. I feel comfortable working with her because she's also a very helpful lead. And from her blog, I discovered that she's not only good in her work, but she's also a very good wife and mother. She can cook, bake, and even make new dresses for her little daughters. Wow, to me, she's an amazing super mother, and definitely my role model. who can balanced herself well between work and family.
After reading her blog, I'm thinking to resume blogging again. Nothing much, just to keep a diary or memory about my life....
Time flies... it's going to be end of year 2010 very very soon and this is how I walked thru it...
1) After staying 7 years in Penang, I finally moved to KL to stay with Vic and his family.
2) Resigned from Intel, my very first job after graduation, left behind a lot of sweet memories and friends there...
3) Got a new job in KL, changed my field, and restart my career!
4) Dream come true.... backpacking trip to Europe, visited 6 countries, 10 cities and couchsurf-ed with 6 different hosts.
5) Finally moved to our home sweet home, after spending endless time buying furniture and decorating our little apartment.
6) Family trip to Bali
7) and a little sweet surprise awaiting me after I came back from the trip.... :)
Overall, a year full of surprise and changes, I finally moved my butt from comfort zone and marching towards a better (I hope) future. I think I'm adapting well to it (so far), with the full support from him...
There are lots more stories to tell.... and I hope I have the patient to write them down....
p/s: and for my travel blog (Canada and Europe), it's in my facebook, but both are not completed yet... :|

Mei and the Kittenbus
上个星期回KL 庆祝Doris 十六岁生日。她妈妈送她一张宫崎骏的DVD, 收录了这位日本动画大师和吉卜力所制作的著名动画，包括：龙猫，千与千寻，猫之报恩等，还有最新的《悬崖上的金鱼姬》。
过后，Vic 提起我们去年到日本的吉卜力博物馆（Ghibli Museum）看到的一部短片，有点像是龙猫的续集~ Mei and the Kittenbus， 一部像《龙猫》一样，充满童真的动画。Vic网上找到了这个youtube slideshow! Enjoy~~
这让我想起了我们的日本之旅(我的blog 不知几时才会完成:P )。三鹰之森吉卜力博物馆是其中一个我们说好一定要去的地方。要参观这个博物馆可不是件容易的事，一定要提早预定及买票，因为他们要控制每天的游客量，但在马来西亚又没有办法买到门票。最后我们是通过东京的民宿主人先帮我们买票才能成行。
Vic and Minsi in Ghibli Museum, Mitaka
龙猫在卖入门票
隐藏在树林间的龙猫
这是个很迷你的博物馆，半天时间就能走透。馆内不能拍照，他们希望参观的民众，尤其是孩子们，能亲自感受博物馆里的一切，而不只是专注于拍照。
整个博物馆像个大大的独立式洋房游乐场，主要的展览有宫崎骏的原画，工作进度表，动画原理和制作过程等，不是枯燥的展览，而是透过游戏玩乐的方式，让我们理解动画的制作。里头小孩子们跑上跑下玩得不亦乐乎，每个角落都有些小惊喜，让我们发掘。
此外，里头还有个小剧院，放映吉卜力制作的动画短片，其他地方是看不到的。我们那时就看了Mei and the Kittenbus，好喜欢这部龙猫的续集哦 :)
小孩们最喜欢的房间就是猫巴士了，他们可以爬上大大的猫巴士玩乐嬉戏。好羡慕，我也想坐进猫巴士里，但大人是不准进入和孩子们玩的 :(
经过猫巴士游乐场，再爬上旋转楼梯，就能到达屋顶，和天空之城的机器人，也是吉卜力博物馆的守护神合照。
屋顶上找到的神秘箱子：
煤炭师姑
总的来说，吉卜力博物馆比我想象中小，但我很享受在里面玩乐的半天。能感受得到博物馆的用心，让宫崎骏迷和小孩们放开心怀，开开心心的感受童真，就好像在他们的网页上写的：
This is the Kind of Museum I Want to Make!
A museum that is interesting and which relaxes the soul
A museum where much can be discovered
A museum based on a clear and consistent philosophy
A museum where those seeking enjoyment can enjoy, those seeking to ponder can ponder, and those seeking to feel can feel
A museum that makes you feel more enriched when you leave than when you entered!

隐藏在树林间的龙猫
这是个很迷你的博物馆，半天时间就能走透。馆内不能拍照，他们希望参观的民众，尤其是孩子们，能亲自感受博物馆里的一切，而不只是专注于拍照。
整个博物馆像个大大的独立式洋房游乐场，主要的展览有宫崎骏的原画，工作进度表，动画原理和制作过程等，不是枯燥的展览，而是透过游戏玩乐的方式，让我们理解动画的制作。里头小孩子们跑上跑下玩得不亦乐乎，每个角落都有些小惊喜，让我们发掘。
此外，里头还有个小剧院，放映吉卜力制作的动画短片，其他地方是看不到的。我们那时就看了Mei and the Kittenbus，好喜欢这部龙猫的续集哦 :)
小孩们最喜欢的房间就是猫巴士了，他们可以爬上大大的猫巴士玩乐嬉戏。好羡慕，我也想坐进猫巴士里，但大人是不准进入和孩子们玩的 :(
经过猫巴士游乐场，再爬上旋转楼梯，就能到达屋顶，和天空之城的机器人，也是吉卜力博物馆的守护神合照。
屋顶上找到的神秘箱子：
煤炭师姑
总的来说，吉卜力博物馆比我想象中小，但我很享受在里面玩乐的半天。能感受得到博物馆的用心，让宫崎骏迷和小孩们放开心怀，开开心心的感受童真，就好像在他们的网页上写的：
This is the Kind of Museum I Want to Make!
A museum that is interesting and which relaxes the soul
A museum where much can be discovered
A museum based on a clear and consistent philosophy
A museum where those seeking enjoyment can enjoy, those seeking to ponder can ponder, and those seeking to feel can feel
A museum that makes you feel more enriched when you leave than when you entered!

Toothache
MS: I have tooth-ache :(
Going to see dentist later after work at 6.45pm.
Vic: Poor meow. Be careful, else I’ll have more teeth when older :D
I can bite you and you can’t do anything about it.
MS: -_-|||

Deepavali 的早晨
已经几个周末都没在槟城，家里的野草长得好高了。难得这个Deepavali的long weekend我和Vic 都在，早早起身为房子‘美容’。请人来割草，Vic也把长得高过屋顶的竹子给斩得光溜溜的。看着干净整洁的草地和花园，心情也特别漂亮。忙碌的早晨将要告个段落，Vic上楼睡个午觉，我则把累积一个星期的衣服给洗了。在屋后晒衣服，左边的天空晴朗炎热，右边的天空却乌云密布，好特别吧！
好多友人问我婚姻生活如何呢？我的答案通常都是一句：Still the same, nothing different. 我想，像这样一个平凡的周末，两人一起打扫屋子，简简单单，心却是充实的，这就是我的婚姻生活吧！

The Country of Maple Leaves 4 ~ Stanley Park
Stanley Park is the backyard of Vancouver, an evergreen oasis of 400 hectares next to the downtown Vancouver, and that’s our next destination of the day. We rented 2 bicycles from a shop at the entrance, and started our exploration of the park.
This is the map of Stanley Park. We started from ‘S’ in the map, and cycled a big round through Beaver Lake. We were not able to make a full complete circle, as we originally decided to rent the bicycles for 2 hours, but we ended up with 3 hours for the ¾ round.
Some nice scenery along the way.
The green lungs of the city:
Yacht parking
Notice the divider on the road? They have very good system in the park: separate lanes for bicycles and for pedestrian, both ways. It was so enjoyable riding in a nice cold weather, without worrying that you might hit someone jogging in the park.
The totem poles, monumental sculptures carved from large trees by native aboriginal people in Canada.
The light house
Cloudy weather, best time for cycling as it’s not too hot or too cold.
Stanley Park is home to a wide range of resident wildlife including:
Raccoon – we met this cute little fellow half way cycling. Many people stopped by to take photo.
Duck A: I don’t want to friend you anymore.
Duck B: Hei, we are not friends. We are just colleagues.
How come this guy was talking using hand phone with swan?
It was as if a goose standing on top of my head :P
Vic: Where are we? Are we lost?
This is the Beaver Lake. We rested there for a while, and had some chocolate to restore energy.
There were some ducks resting in the middle of the lake. When they saw me squatted down eating chocolate next to the pool, 2 ducks swam quickly towards me from far hopping for food. It was so funny to see the ducks shaking their bucks and swam eagerly towards you.
We spent some time relaxing and cycling around the lake and jungle, then realized that we almost late for the 3 hours rental time. We cycled quickly and rushed back to return the rented bike, and yes, we make it on time!!!
After returning the bicycles, I was too tired and just sat down near a resident area. Those residential are very well maintained, the gardens are decorated beautifully with colourful tulips and all sorts of flowers.
Victor took a nap in front of the Lost Lagoon after the tiring exercise =P
After taking a good rest, we had our dinner in a Vietnamese restaurant before heading home. I always miss Vietnamese food in North America; tasty, big portion and cheap!
Wow, what a great day to begin a journey! I have fallen in love with this beautiful city in just 1 day!
