On a roll





Ooooo check out this pics that Pei Chyi snapped of Peanut while we were in Penang. Again, what a difference a DSLR makes compared to the point and shoot camera. I think all new parents out there should get one instead of hiring a photographer to take portrait pics of their babies. Cos the money spent on hiring photographer can be used on getting a DSLR camera instead. But of course it costs quite a bit of money to get one and I dun have $$ to spare de. I’m broke !! *sob sob. pulls out empty pockets to show everyone*

Btw, thanks Peichyi for giving me the pics!!!

I have finally switched from Maxis to Digi cos they have this awesome package for blackberry phones. I have to say, with this package, twittering, msn and surfing the web on the phone is really quite affordable. Only RM58 per month for unlimited email, IM, web browsing, everything lah! (compared to Maxis’s RM120 for unlimited plan). No need to calculate you already know there’s a big difference in the numbers lor. One has two digits and another has three. And the best part is, you only pay for SMS and calls that you’ve used. No commitment fee, no nothing! And with most of my friends, (in KL anyway) on twitter, SMS has become almost obsolete for me de. Save even more money! *suddenly on a saving money crusade*

Also I had to get a new phone cos my previous phone really cannot make it de. I mean, really, reaally cannot make it. Even my mum asked me to change my phone cos it’s embarrassing to carry around. The paint on the phone was coming off, lots of scratch marks, one part of the keypad is missing; I don’t even know how I lasted with that phone. But peanut loves it then though, cos she can bang it all she wants and i won’t even flinch lol.

And..CNY is around da corner and guess wot, we’re going back to Kuching. I mean, yes, we definitely have to go back cos it’s CNY yo and we’ll do that every year, but the thing is, my MIL has kindly asked us to go back on the first day of CNY instead of the second day; as is the “custom” for most Chinese folks. Where daughters usually have to spend their first day of CNY with the in-laws, and can only go back to their own family home on the second day.

Her reasoning being, that my parents don’t see Peanut often enough while they get to spend everyday with her, so why not go back on the first day so can spend as much time as possible with them. I was quite terharu lah.

Talking about MILs, I was at this Tau Sar Pneah shop at Macalister Road in Penang and when i entered this shop, this auntie who’s one of the salesperson there immediately zoomed in on Peanut and started talking to her. This auntie is probably in her 50s or 60s, and within a space of a few minutes, this auntie sort of started giving me “advices”, through Peanut. You know talk to Peanut, but actually trying to get the message to me instead?

First she told me that I carried Peanut the wrong way. I was carrying Peanut at my side, where each of her legs are sort of like hugging my body. Cos she said she’ll walk terkangkang in future *_*. Ohkayyy....whatever. And then she went on and say “babyyyyy are you hot or not??? Why your mummy let you wear headband in this hot weather? Ask your mummy to take it off. Later you sweat okayyy”.

Lol, first of all, it’s quite obvious that Peanut has no hair lor, so I don’t think she’s even sweating at all, or feeling hot and I don’t think wearing that headband will even cause her to be any warmer. The auntie also said something else to me, but having mummy brains, i also forgot already. But I walked out of the shop, thanking God that she’s not my MIL. Can you imagine her lecturing you and giving you unsolicited advice through your baby every day? Hahhahaha i think i will faint trying to keep my face straight lor.

Damn, my eyes are a bit watery at the moment. I get this when I’m generally not feeling a bit well, but i feel fine, so i guess it’s my contacts again?

Till then. Toodles!
