How to delete your facebook account

Since Taurus deleted her facebook about almost a year ago, I've always wanted to do the same, but my main concern at that time was hmm...let me see, I can't remember!! goodness. Perhaps Taurus can remind me.

BUt today, since i'm quite free, i've decided to find a way to permanently delete myself off facebook. Dunno it works or not la but it's worth a try.

Now why am i deleting myself off facebook?? Many reasons lor!:

a) because i think it's a serious waste of time. And it's not much use to me. I don't use it to organise parties, or to "network" and nor am i a member of any "ex-employee groups"
b) It's got to a point where I dunno how use facebook anymore since evertime i log on, it seems to look different, and I have no idea what some functions are, where the applications are and so on. For one thing, I'm not very tech savvy, and I can't be bothered to read up on each applications to see it means. I think I already have enough serious reading to do in the office lor!
c) I don't check my facebook everyday. I only log on when i have a message in my inbox or i'm asked to look at pictures. And the pictures always take time to load anyway. *yawn* And i find it a chore to reply to messages & comments or to "poke" you back.
d) i don't check out what other people are doing in their lives anyway. So who cares whether you're "deciding whether to go eat Yong Tau Foo tonight or not" or that "you're feeling moody". I mean, seriously, who cares???

Btw (must put disclaimer here), the above only refers to how I feel about facebook okay! So don't take it to heart if you're facebook's biggest fan on earth.


Anyway, if you go to the settings part in your facebook, you can deactivate your account. But deactivating your account doesn't mean you're off facebook permanetly. it means friends can still tag you in pictures, and sends you messages and stuff (please refer to (c)), and I dun want that lor! So ma fan! And i'll feel obliged to reply you. Also, you can easily reactivate it by logging in with your previous email and password. What's the point right?

So i did a bit of invesigating and came upon this link: http://www.facebook.com/help/contact...delete_account

and ta dahhhhh.....bye bye facebook!

well, not yet for another 14 days. Facebook will first deactivate you for 14 days. If within the 14 days you did not reactivate your account, they will permanently delete you. So let's see whether this works or not!! keke

So, how's Peanut??

She's now 5 weeks old, and she weighs around 4.4kg. that's 1kg up from birth. I know a friend who gave birth to a baby weighing 4.2 kg. How did he fit in the tummy man??! Dem big lor!

And she still doesn't sleep much at night. For example, last night she only slept at 5am so guess who had to stay up with her? Luckily my MIL can take over in the morning so I can sleep until 12pm. Phewww!!!.......Actually I dun mind being awake so much at night cos we're bonding, right Peanut, right? just that i wonder how i'm gonna handle the sleepiness when I get back to work...which is like in 3 weeks time?? (omg!!) How do other people do it? Lots of coffee? Sleep much earlier?? Drugs??I kid, I kid hehe

I've tried all ways to keep her awake in the day time, so she'll be sleepy at night but it's not easy-peasy lor. She won't budge. Thank God I have a tv in the room to keep me awake at night while watching her, but watching E! channel in the dead of the night seems different than watching it in the day.

As per PC's request, here are more pictures:

*waves wildly* Hi Aunty PC!!!!! or er..PC jie jie!!

can you stop taking pictures already? Sien leh

yup, that's it. Byyeee!

*sobs* part 2

I know taking care of babies at night is gonna be difficult but I didn't know it's gonna be that tough!! I'm now seeing mothers in a whole new light!

For the past few nights, i've been up all night taking care of Peanut, and I've slept very little. The first two nights were the worst. Peanut didn't sleep much, and was very bright-eyed and bushy tailed so I had to be up all night too. The worse thing is she refuses to sleep in her crib because everytime I put her down, she'll scream the house down. Stress i tell you. I don't know how Tilam does it man. No wonder she drinks at least 4-5 cups of coffee every day.

Now, Peanut needs to drink milk every 3 hours. And i need to change her diaper too every time she drinks milk cos she doesn't like it when her diaper is wet. So you can imagine la, she'll wake up at 12am, screaming to be fed. By the time she finished drinking her milk and me burping her, at least 40 minutes will have passed. And by the time I changed her diaper, wipe her clean, put back her pants, and her booties on, phew, it'll be close to 1 hour by the time i'm done with the whole diaper+milk operation.

Which leaves me with 2 hours of sleep, that is if I can fall asleep immediately, or if she doesn't wake up crying again halfway through. And this continues every 3 hours for the whole nite and the whole day. Wah, seriously exhausting man. Luckily i have my PIL to help me in the day time, if not, I won't be even typing this now lor!

I can do it!!
I can do it!!"
I can do it!!! *brave face*

I have also been singing her some songs la to rock her to sleep. Why didn't i learn more songs when i was in kindy har?? My song choices are seriously limited lor. I can only sing ABCs, Twinkle Twinkle, Baa Baa Black Sheep, Mary had a little lamb & Rudolph the Rednose Reindeer by heart so poor Peanut has been hearing me singing these on repeat. Dunno she sien or not. Eh, did you know that ABCs and Twinkle Twinkle Little Star has the same tune?? Same composer kah?? I only realised it after i've sang both for like the zillionth time.

Super dem sleepy now. and by the way, HAPPY EASTER everyone!!!!!!!

*sobs*

Tilam is leaving tomorrow!!!!!!!



*runs around like a headless chicken*




I'm scared.


Tilam might not be a lot of things.

For example, her meals are okay only. Very mediocre. I don't look forward to each meal time because the chicken is always too tough, and it's always kailan, kailan, kailan, and the cooking style is the same.

She asked a lot of questions too....

She is always sasking me what's this, what's that.

And the other day i went up to my room after lunch. So she asked me you went up to the room for what? I say to go do something la. She asked me again, to do what? Aijor.

And she likes to ask me whether i have enough milk while i'm breastfeeding. Like how I know wor...not as if my boobs have a measuring cup.

She is also repetitive.

I think i have lost count on the number of times she repeated her stories to me. Always the same stories, different day nia.

But she sure knows how to take care of Peanut, and that's the most important!! I just hope I can do half as well starting tomorrow!!

"Watcha looking at?"
Peanut on Tilam. Her clothing mis-matched as usual.

Bye Tilam!!!!!!!!! We're gonna miss you!! *sniff*

Sometimes I forget

Thank you God, for everything.

Full Moon

*phew*

Didn't know full moon is so much work!!!!!! Before Peanut, when people tell me about full moon, I will just assume it's a simple affair, just do a simple lunch or dinner, and that's it!! Bye bye go home!

Mana tau..

Okay the morning begins pretty routine enough, just that I have to wake up earlier on Tilam's order. As usual, I will need to have my usual cup of coffee, or else I won't be able to function. I suspect I will need a stronger brew in months to come. No more nescafe 3-in-1. BigB has it harder though, he had to deliver a couple of full moon gifts to a couple of friends. The edible full moon gifts are a must to whoever has given us a present to Peanut and us :) so thanks everyone who has given us a gift!!

Anyways....at around 10am, Peanut had her usual bath. Except that...she needs to bathe with a round smooth stone and 13 coins. Ya, have to be 13, cannot be more or less. I also dunno why la. Seems like a recurring theme that I dunno a lot of things. Anyway, the stone and coins looks like this! And the coins cannot be Malaysian coins okie. Actually I dunno why also, I said this because I didn't see any Malaysian coins.


Basically Tilam put it into Peanut's bath tub, and Peanut will have her usual bath. Em..the stone is supposed to make Peanut feel "safe" all the time, and the coins means that when she travels to other countries in future (maybe that's why there's no Malaysian coins, only foreign coins), everyone will like her. Hm...okay.

After her bath, Tilam dressed her up in new clothes and this new clothes has to be either in pink or red color. And of course after that we took lots and lots of pics. Once we're done with the pics, time to do the next phase!

Ya man, what's with the eggs??!

*scared* I'll be scared too la if I see that many eggs

The eggs, ladies and gentlemen, is for good luck! Tilam sat with Peanut on the floor and then she slowly took each egg and rub it on Peanut's face, while she baca-baca some nice things for Peanut. That's a lot of eggs so this took quite a while.

what the....okay i'll bear with this

egg #19

*siens* Faster can or not

Once this is done, me, the Mummy, needs to take the leftover water in the big pot and go to a big drain and throw the water away. And while throwing the water, I need to say "siew nua!!!!". Em...that means, "keep your saliva" in hokkien. And don't ask me why cos I dunno the reason. The problem is Tilam always explain all this rituals in cantonese, and I need someone to translate for me. By this time, I'm too tired and lazy to ask anyone else to translate for me anymore. Oh, did I mention that each of us need to eat an egg each too?

After this, all the relatives started pouring in for a big lunch. I think i got relatives-overdose-syndrome today. I'm totally drained out with all the requisite smiling and niceties that you are obliged to do when relatives are around. By 3pm, i was having a major backache. So painful lor!!!!! Is this the akibat of my secret showers?? or the after effects of the epidural?? Or for carrying Peanut for 9 months? Whatever it is, its a pain I never felt before man!

And this is not the end yet.

At around 3 something, we need to bring Peanut out to a place where there's a huge crowd, so that she won't be afraid of people in future. So we went to the nearest place that we could think of. Tesco! Basically we (me, Big B, and Tilam carrying Peanut) just took a short walk in Tesco. I think we were in and out within 5 minutes.

Once that is done, me and BigB went out to deliver the last of the full moon packs to Pei Chyi & Christine and that's it!!!!!!!!! Such a long day man!! I'm all tired out!

The end!

And you thought...

there's no more rules after confinement month??

No lor, there's plenty more!!! So have you heard before that:

a) You can't eat yam within 100 days after confinement? Cos your "down there" will be itchy. Unfortunately, i like yam. So yeah, have to tahan.
b) You can't eat pineapples either but I dunno for what reason cos I don't like pineapples so I didn't care to find out.
c) You can't drink cold drinks for at least another 10 days after confinement month? Bye bye icy cold coke light ( i miss you so much), and hate you, _________ <-- insert all the hot drinks that i've been consuming for the past one month.
d) No sex within 100 days after confinement.
e) Children can't kiss babies on the face, cos it'll delay their speech??
f) Babies can't wear shoes for the first year of their lives.

wat la, so many rules
