Holland boy

Yesterday, I went to a shoes store to buy my hubby a pair of new shoes. I brought my 5 year old daughter along and imagine her voice all over the store. Running here and there. Touching anything she can and you can hear me saying no this and no that. Oh! Then suddenly I said to myself. Well, why not let her be a child and I do my adult stuff.

While looking for the perfect pair, I noticed a white boy trying on a pair of red basketball shoes. I asked him, where he's from. He said Holland. I asked again whether he's with his parents and he said yes. Then I found out that he was only 15. His face does look his age but his body is like an adult in my place.Well that was good enough for me. I like tourists. But I don't want to scare them by asking too much. I actually would want to know how different it is out there compared to my mother land. Maybe next time when I meet an elderly white tourist.

New Born Baby - just an advice to new parents

Well, congratulations! You're now a father or a mother to a tiny human being. Love your baby like you love yourself. See if it's hungry, not so difficult to know. It will lick it's lip or actually just cry out loud. You must remember your baby can't talk yet so, it's the most appropriate way for it to communicate with mummy and daddy.

Most important thing to bear in mind, new parents out there, please. Your baby can't say mummy, I'm chilling cold in the middle of the night but both of you are so fast asleep, you didn't hear me giving small cries out of coldness. So please, give your baby proper wear at night. Always wear them pyjamas, so that, it's not hot in the warm weather and when night comes, it also protect them from cold.

Make sure that your baby get enough milk as suggested. If you're feeding them with bottles always remember to tap slowly at the back of your baby to avoid milk suffocation. If you're not sure how, ask help from your doctor, nurse or the elderly. Ask what you don't know.

How about travelling? Always make sure that your baby is protected from the hot sun. Give your baby the comfort it needs and if you're turning on the air conditioning, make sure your baby wear socks.

But what I want to express most is baby comfort at night. Please protect your baby from cold.

Fruit season and fasting month

M.....m....m........so delicious, soft and tasty. Fruit season is around the corner again and I am so excited over it.

Durians, mangos, langsat, dokong, rambutans, mata kucing, cempedak and many more. Sorry, all in the local language. Durian is the king of all the fruits here. Most people from oversea can't stand the smell or taste of it but to us locals it taste so majestic and delicious. If you're not from Malaysia you should come here. Challenge yourself to have a taste of it. Oh........
