Baby Daniel First Food

haha. my posts stopped when i was 16 weeks preggy. i was just too busy. had problem with my work, woony's friend came from korea, woony's parents came and finally my family came over.

so now my baby Daniel is almost 5 month old. kaklong told me to start him on solid but i think i'm gonna wait till he is 6 month old. firstly because i don't think i wanna let him go yet. i just love nursing him. i want him to always need me. selfish kan.. secondly, every health nurses and doctors that i spoke to advise me to start at 6 month when his digestive system is fully developed. and finally, i wanna share the experience with yaoponim.. he is now away for work and wont be back till 6th september.. so i guess i'll start then..

tday i'm being a little bit more diligent with my day. i've decided to prepare his first food. i've managed to clear the old expressed breast milk (its older than 3 month now), and expressed a new batch. and i've also made him my special pumpkin puree.. (with lots of love and a tiny bit of cumin).. doesn't it look yummylicious..

since i'm pretty sure he's not gonna eat a lot on his first try, i've freeze them in two separate container.. the first one was the clear plastic portioned container that was originally for freezing my expressed milk. only 1 tablespoon into each portion. the second batch goes into my Beaba silicone portion container which i lurveee.. 2 tablespoon of the puree goes into this.

just cant wait for 6th of september..

uh this is how i made them

1. cut your favourite pumpkin into medium cubes.

2. steam them for 10 minutes or till soft.

3. chuck it in the blender. add your fav spices (i use cumin but i think i'll try cinnamon next time) and blend till smooth.

i'm using stick blender for the first time and i just love them. more practical than using those baby food maker. and if you want it thinner, just add the water that was used to steam those pumpkin.much more nutritious than just plain boiled water.

belmont flea market

went to Belmont flea market with yaoponim, aya n smile today. its situated at the outdoor carpark of the only shopping mall in Belmont.. I cant really remember the name.. for those who travel to Perth, i would highly recommend this place. its the best place you can spend your money on. worth every penny or you might say dollar and i mean it.

its open on saturday and sunday from 6am till 11am. maybe they'll open till a bit later but i think the earlier you come the better. otherwise all the good stuff are gone. on the other hand, the later you come the cheaper the price will be.

we went at around 7.30am but its already full with people. its a huge market so be prepared to bring some water as the weather can be quite hot. i dont know why, nobody sell drinks here. the only options are McDonald and Red Rooster..

there's two type of seller here.
1. those who just want to get rid of their unused stuff
2. those who came to make money. and these people are usually migrant like us. :)

anyway, it is a very successfull day for me and yaoponim and maybe smile. aya didnt get anything though. here's the list of item that i bought. you can judge urself whether its worth it or not
1. really nice long dress. a bit too long for me but i'll think about that later. hihi $6
2. clear glass vase. love on first sight. can already imagine it on our dining table $2
3. huge white leaf serving plate with 2 leaf saucer/sauce bowl. i've always want a huge serving place for those ikan masak merah that i always cook. the fish here are just to long to fit in normal plate $1.50
4. dean koontz novel - the eyes of darkness $1
5. iphone 4s silicone case $6
6. iphone 4s clear screen cover $1
7. tukul getah woony.. ntah tatau nak pukul ape $3 (not worth it, don said we can get new one for $5) sigh..

maybe that's it. hmm.. thought we got more. but as i said before, totally worth every dollar. went back with a big smile on my face. THIS IS WHAT I CALL A SUCCESSFUL SHOPPING DAY..

next time i'll get the singer sewing machine. i think they sell it for around $30. it reminded me of my atok.. atok.. ina rindu..  and maybe some baby stuff. cant waittt!!!!

what shall ur baby call you

i'm really confused. i dont know if it shud be mama/papa, mommy/daddy, mak/abah, omma/appa, mom/dad

mak and abah is out. i noticed that i actually call my mom ma.. seems much more personal.. mom and dad is too westernised.. haha.. isnt mommy/daddy is quite westernised as well.. mulla.. i really dont know..

help me out peeps..

"sayang mama.."
"sayang mommy.."

"mommy, nak susu"
"mama, nak susu"

well.. mama sounds better right.. not too awkward.. lidah tak berbelit sgt kan.. dunno.. CONFUSEEEEE

16 weeks preggy

My pure white baby cot:

Childcare Sandfort Cot  

yippie.. i'm 16 weeks preggy now.. perasaan adalah sangat hepi.. kelaka tak first time i started blogging was 3 years ago when i got married and second time is now when i got preggie.. honestly, i'm not a good writer.. so a bit segan to publish anything.. anyway.. i have to write somewhere about this most important event of my life and i think this is the best way.. i would not lose my diary and can cherish this memory forever.. well.. as long as internet still relevant..


today, yauponim (my hubby) and I went to Target at Morley Galleria to get the baby cot. Too early? its $174.50 after 50% so we decided to just grab this good bargain.. honestly, i cant wait to buy the rest of the baby stuff.. tapi banyak2 mengucap dan besabar.. we prefer to know the gender first before buying.. besides, the'll be heaps more discount here on Boxing Day.. first or second day after Christmas.. but we'll wait a bit more, the price will drop further a week after..


yauponim wanted to get the teak color, but i just wanted pure white for my baby.. yauponim tuh mmg ada sikit old fashioned.. hehe.. anyway.. i'm happy with the purchase.. really happy..
