Your Asian mom

I am a very skinny person with no excess fat on my tummy. When i got pregnant, especially during the third trimester, the skin got stretched to ugly lines and worsened by the pigmentation. Baby is almost six-month-old, yet the ugly appearance is still there with the saggy skin folds. Until I heard advertisement at mix.fm, a local radio station, I never thought of  investing money on any product to treat the problem specifically. It introduces the Palmer Cocoa butter lotion. I got the 400ml product at Watson's in Wisma Merdeka shopping complex at about RM35. When I got home, after a shower,  i apply them around the affected area. The consistency of the lotion is quite thick but glides smoothly. Although the bottle states as "light scene", it is not that case. I smell like a kid who dropped her chocolate drink on the shirt. Even husband is complaining the smell, thought i was some kind of dirty and sloppy wife; Baby even puzzled when she gets near me for bre...

Most looking forward to weaning baby with her first food-banana and avocado as recommended by the babywholesomefood.com. Bree is 6 kg plus and has acquired almost all milestones in smiling, reaching and grabbing items, roll on tummy (of course lifting own head) and lots of drooling. Yes, she salivates a lot and gazing at the food which I eat in front of her. As compared to few months back, she is more active and restless while Im putting her in bed. I guess the fluid intake for her  now is not adequate that make her look sad, sometimes. I tried feeding her banana once, the item stayed in her mouth for about a minute and later she stucked it out with tongue. She is five-month old and it is another month before she really have to take in solid. I have prepared spoon, bowl and waterproof bib for her. The first step is to let her play with utensil...

A Malay Immigration officer was speaking fluently in English, without making eye contact, and it turned out that he was insisting me to purchase the passport cover worth RM5 each.  He claimed that the cover managed to prevent damage to the new system of passport with installed chip.   The man added that it is best to keep the document away from heat of source- left in the car or avoid from any corrosive agent or fluid. In Sabah’s mini Putrajaya (next to UMS), first floor at Block B building, I took about five hours to renew passport during last year of mid-December. The queue was exceptionally long beginning from the registration counter; document processing, payment and retrieval. For renewal, an adult Malaysian needs to bring the old passport, a passport-sized passport picture with white background and original Malaysian IC, as well as RM300 for 5 years term (or RM100 for two years). There are counters of photography taking and documents photocopies serv...

Well, it is the time for everyone to move on, as the God wants His human being to be able to enjoy the beauty of the life. At a brief moment, I do feel hurt, but I still cherish the moment that we used to spent together. Those memories make me think that you are a nice person and you deserved a happy life with her. I sincerely wish you all the best for your married life. I heard, that you're settled down,  That you, found a girl and your married now. I heard that your dreams came true. Guess she gave you things, I didn't give to you. Old friend, why are you so shy? Ain't like you to hold back or hide from the light. I hate to turn up out of the blue uninvited,  But I couldn't stay away, I couldn't fight it. I'd hoped you'd see my face and that you'd be reminded,  That for me, it isn't over. Nevermind, I'll find someone like you. I wish nothing but the best, for you too. Don't forget me, I beg, I remember you said,  "S...
