*muaks*

yesterday while i was feeding Dayana with her bottle i noticed that she can hold her own bottle now! wah wah! ok la, so she's not actually holding it all on her own but at least she's trying to, even though her grip is still a bit clumsy. lol. i still need to help her tilt the bottle a bit, else she'll just chew on the teat. heehee. so cute. my baby is growing up so fastttt. dengki tak if her mom wishes her to be small and cute forever? =P~~

Dayana and EBM

i realized in the past few days that my daughter couldn't really take much of frozen EBM. i don't know why. last week since there were many public holidays (Awal Muharam and New Year) i was with Dayana most of the time so i didn't need the use of my milk stock in the fridge. there were 7 bottles altogether so i decided to freeze them for later use. on Monday i unfreezed 4 of the bottles and left them for my mil to give my daughter. but halfway through the day Significant Other called me saying that Dayana was pooping frequently in small amounts and she seemed rather unsettled. which was weird because the day before she was fine. i first guessed it was the EBM that caused her get an upset stomach because the next day when i gave her fresh EBM, she seemed quite well, at least alot better than the day before.

this theory of mine was further strengthened when i sent her to my mom's place and my mom gave her frozen EBM, which also caused her to poop frequently, and in small amounts. so i know now that it's the EBM at fault. hehe. now the question is... why? weird. before this i gave her frozen EBM but she seemed to take it OK. or maybe that time i wasn't being observant enough and didn't really notice. i dunno. lol. is it because of how i handle frozen EBM? or the EBM itself? i wonder if any of you might know about this.

so... it's back to the pumping board for me. lol.

yesterday, since i was gonna pick Dayana up, i had dinner at my parent's house. i found that Dayana absolutely loves to babble sepenuh hati to my mom, and in a really loud voice too. my dad was amazed at how such a loud voice can come from someone so small, haha. i think it's probably because my mom talks to her in various tones of voices, of which she finds really interesting. but she takes one look at my dad and she bursts into tears. hahahaha. i think she hasn't been socializing with my dad for a long while.

one thing i noticed recently is that whenever Dayana lies on her back, she loves to lift up both of her hands in the air front of her, at shoulder's length. as if she just realizes that she has to hands to utilize =P. i find it really funny. even when you hold her cradle style, she'll lift one hand up for whatever reason only know to her. reminds me of 'hail hitler'. you know, like tabik hitler ittew, hahahahahah. my mil wonders the same thing too.

the FS will be arriving soon... lalala~

my lightbulb story

earlier today i had lunch with my colleague Karen at O'Briens. then i dragged her to Cold Storage because i wanted to buy a lightbulb (to hold over my head whenever i get a good idea. you know, like in the comics? hahahah, i'm kidding). the dim lamp that i use at night in my daughter's room suddenly decided to blow a fuse, so i brought it along with me during lunch with the intention of hunting for it afterwards. Karen laughed at me for simply holding it instead of chucking it in a plastic bag or paper bag or whatsoever =P.

anyway, i didn't even know Cold Storage carried light bulbs, but apparently they did, and they even had this electric board where to get to test your lightbulb to see if it's functioning or not. so i just grabbed the cheapest Phillips lightbulb that had the closest similarity to my own. i didn't even think of doing it, but Karen suggested trying it out first to see if it works. so we screwed it in and pressed a blue button on the board and presto! it lights up (duh). then i had this stupid idea to stick my own lightbulb in to see if it works or not. i wanted to know if it was the bulb problem or the lamp problem. so i did... and when i pressed the button, it lighted up for a second before emitting this loud crackly noise, sorta like a mini explosion. luckily we didn't scream out loud. we left the area hurriedly, leaving the discriminating evidence behind still screwed in the electric board. Karen looked around to see if there were any security cameras or not. luckily the whole Cold Storage didn't decide to black out. if not lagi teruk, we'd be screwed literally, hahahahah.

so i left Cold Storage with only one lightbulb. next we went to Guardian. i wanted to look for Pureen H.A.D. (semangat nak wash my CDs - that's a different story) and Karen wanted to promote me this hair serum because ever since i cut my hair, my hair became sorta kembang-y. i don't have time to straighten my hair, so i'm just living with what i have on my head for now =P. she mentioned that one of the shampoos made her hair really shiny and smooth, but her scalp got a bit dry because of the shampoo. without thinking i just said that she'd have to choose between having nice hair or a nice scalp. if she chose nice scalp, it would be fine because if for some reason her hair decide to fall out, she'd still have a nice shiny bald head to look at. HAHAHAHAHAHA (Karen, don't get mad ya. i always have a good laugh with you =P).

earth.mama.angel.baby

the size i initially thought it would be when i first set my eyes on it:



after purchasing one from Grace of Lil Danzell, this is what i actually received:

[photo available later]

i was so surprised i almost fell off my chair laughing. and for that price???

to be fair, Grace accidentally sent me the item in the wrong size. i had ordered for the 2oz size, but unfortunately she was out of stock. so she promised to send me another 1oz jar... 1oz + 1oz = 2oz, right? =P~~~

has anyone tried their Milkmaid Tea? reviews, anyone?

the three skills

something my friend mentioned to me today. i found it hilarious. and vaguely interesting.

a***su: najua's granny sed
a***su: lady kena ada 3 skill
a***su: wajib
a***su: sewing, cooking
a***su: and... play piano

and the best thing is, we both have no idea why we need the third skill in the first place.
ideas, anyone? =P

pixeljunk monsters

Significant Other downloaded the demo on PS3, and after having a go at it he decided to purchase the game. for this type of game it's actually quite fun. you won't even notice how fast time flies. i had a go at it yesterday after Dayana was put to sleep (which was about midnight) right up until 3am. for some weird reason i couldn't sleep, and it isn't always i get to hog the ps3. haha.

in the game you need to defend your little ones (little people? i have no idea what i'm defending, haha. heck, the character i'm playing resembles some kind of a turtle) from being attacked by various monsters. they come in waves, and you need to build towers to prevent them monsters from advancing further. some of the basic towers you can build are Arrow Towers and Cannon Towers, and you collect coins and egg gems after you successfully kill the monsters so that you can unlock and build the more stronger towers, like the Flame Tower and Laser Tower. the funny part of this game is you hafta 'dance' in your tower if you wanna upgrade them. lol. unless you're really lazy you can cash in those egg gems but rugilah since you can put them to better use. i dunno if it's your cup of tea but to me it's a great way to pass the time (until it's dark outside and you just realize that a whole day flew by just like that, lol). and what's more, it's a two-player game!

i'm waiting for Final Fantasy RPG on PS3 to come out. but i'm guessing for sure only the Japanese version will be out first, so i'm gonna hafta wait extra long before the English version will be released =(. unless i decide to take a crash course in Japanese lah. hahahahah.
