Preparation to welcome my little princess

由于预产期越来越近了, 心情开始紧张起来,很多人说第二胎多数比较可怜因为穿的用的都是第二手的。。。

以下是我为宝贝小公主精心准备的:

1)Medela mini electric breastpump


Four years back before I gave birth to Jordan, I bought Avent ISIS manual breastpump which was recommended by a lot of mummies, but i felt it was very tiring to use manual breastpump.












This time I invested in this medela mini electric breastpump after much research. However ths price has gone up a lot compared to 4 years back. What to do??? hehhee...



2) Bumwear cloth diapers






These are Bumwear 1 size cloth diapers which are getting more n more popular lately due to:


*cost saving

*environmental friendly


*time saving



*trendy design n pattern


I bought 4 to try. Hope i will like it.


Thank you Joanne who had provided me a lot of useful info regarding cloth diapering..





3) Babylegs

Babylegs are getting more and more popular now. I bought 1 pair from mummy n baby fair - mid valley to try out. I like all the designs but it is quite expensive.


4) Pretty little bb girl's clothes












5) Others

















These are the lovely gifts:

1) From Joanne





2) From Fui - sister in law



I have about 5 friends who will deliver this month too. Wish all of us have a safe labour.

Baking, cooking and yogurting

很多人都知道我向来不会下厨, 以前连煮快熟面都有问题。自从宝贝儿子两岁开始, 为了研究一些新鲜和适合儿童的dishes,我开始爱上烹饪,烘焙等。All my friends and even my family members do not believe that i start cooking n baking n also yogurting as my hobbies. Well, actually i started with some very simple cooking n baking.


I learned by:

  • attending baking classes
  • 阅读烹饪书籍
  • 上网寻找相关资料
  • 以朋友交换心得


I m very happy to say that what i baked normally my son loves to eat such as:

* raisin and walnut muffin


*raisin bread

*pandan chiffon cake

*blueberry swissroll

*chicken and mushroon vege bao

*ice-cream shap biscuit

*egg tart



Lately i found one very good website which i had tried out few dishes from this website n it turned out very successsful, the most important is my son loves all the dishes recommended in this site:

http://food-4tots.blogspot.com/


The dishes that i have tried are:

#steamed silky eggs

#special egg rolls with rice, salmon and spinach


#steamed egg rolls with fish paste


#mashed potato with corns


#Stuffed tofu poks



Today I do yogurt again which has become my weekly activity after I bought the yogurt maker, thanks Jay for recommending this yogurt maker to me and providing some useful tips whenever I need help.





The yogurt is ready by now and i will keep in fridge for few hours. Tonite Jordan can enjoy his favourite banana yogurt, orange lassy and dragonfruit ice-cream made from this home made yogurt

Jordan's mini library


从良浩还很小的时候我已开始为他选购适合的儿书,绘本,益智游习,字卡等。




无形中已为他设了个家庭式迷你图书馆。



Sometimes it is not easy to categorize and tidy up this mini library due to few reasons:


* too many different category of books and learning materials




*Jordan likes to take out books and not put it back like how i did






## The files in the second row are all the books or learning materials in set like flash cards or puzzles, which i want to make sure they are always in a set, so i bought files to keep them.






## All the baby books were already been seperated to another small book shelf for my daughter's use in the future







##Some colouring books and workbooks are kept downstair so easier for Jordan to take and do what he likes after dinner time







这些是我门都很喜欢的:




1) 24 books of "I wonder why" and CD from Grolier





2) Mandarin children encyclopedia from DK. These 2 books are good bcos of the simple explanation wt large and colourful photos to attract kid's attention




3) Logico set 2 - printed from China, so it is in mandarin. The cost is cheaper than the same set ( in english )sold by other company



4) Funbook with Noddy _ bought this set after Jordan finished logico set. 5) 红蜻蜓100个字6)Matching game to test the creativity and stimulate the kid's brain from Germany



7) When Jordan was young, I used a lot of flash cards to teach him, now is his turn to match the mandarin words with correct English words and pictures
8) Thread drawing game is one of the learning materials that he likes to play till today though i bought it quite long time ago.9) Leappad bought by Jordan's aunty from US. It is very much cheaper compared to the selling price in Malaysia especially during sale period.








10)A set of 5 books with CD from China about stories and informations of 5 interesting sea creatures.


11) I bought a lot of puzzles for Jordan, this is one of them. At first, he didn't show much interest, surprisingly after some time, he loves puzzles a lot. Now i even mix 2 sets of puzzles together and he can seperate out and fix all the pieces nicely.


12) A set of books from MPH about our solar system. Every year during christmas season, MPH will come out with some very nice books. This set was bought last year before christmas as a present for Jordan. He is interested to know about our solar system, so he always ask me to read for him






13) 37.2度杂货店出版的有声书-分为vcd and cd两种。

14)我会说华语3sets of vcd were bought to increase Jordan's capability to converse in mandarin. He likes this set of vcd but 1 of the vcds out of 5 was lost. I will try to replace it asap.


15) Jump Start Animal cd-rom is one of the top computer learning material from US. Since Jordan likes to play computer and he is also interested to learn about animals, so i bought it for him from POPULAR during last school holiday. There are 3 levels of game to let kids expose to some interesting facts about animals.





16)"The magic school bus" VCD by Scholastics are one of the latest science based VCD which is very popular in the market now. Every VCD has a science topic and the topic that Jordan likes most is - "the ant"



17) A set of Thomas and friends story books. I think most of the boys like Thomas and friends story very much.


18) Disney Children encyclopedia - set of 3




19) Other encyclopedias that Jordan likes very much:


* about dinasours




* about animals again



* about human body and space






* about human body - present from anuty kim Ling from Australia

* Oxford mandarin encyclopedia for kid - this book is a bit tough for Jordan at this moment, so i just keep it first until he is ready.




20) Mandarin books and educational game bought from KLCC bookfair









21) Mandarin books bought from Shen Zhen, China. Actually it is cheaper to buy mandarin books from China, besides there are a lot of variety for u to choose.





22) Story books







23) Books about good manners and good habits








24) Read along with Ladybird
