off to malacca...

by ourselves. dh chose to stay behind as it was a short 2D/1N trip with my colleagues.


we travelled in 2 cars (8 adults + 1 baby) and kept in contact via walkie-talkies. He blessed us with great weather, a smooth drive (no causeway jams even!) & no hiccups. we managed to keep to our schedule, enjoyed great food and generally had fun.


nothing much worth bloggin' about since dh was not with us but notably, li'l princess missed daddy a lot! every time we are in the hotel room, she'll walk towards the telephone, picked up the receiver and started calling 'daddy, daddy, daddy...'


do check out restoran nyonya makko (123, Taman Melaka Raya, Off Jalan Parameswara - Tel: 062840737) for heavenly peranakan food, fresh, yummy seafood @ the portuguese settlement (i went to stall #1 - sea terrace) as well as the night market & chendol @ jonker walk if you are ever in malacca. :)


as always, photos :




at the hotel lobby, waiting to check-in


trying to call daddy from the hotel telephone

hokkien mee @ sea terrace, portuguese settlement (as usual, i forgot to take photos of the other food coz i'm such a glutton)


perched on the old school high-chair, waiting for her food

view of the hotel pool from our room


fast asleep next morning (we were late for breakfast coz she just wouldn't get up!)


the only 'kampung' she'll probably ever get to see in her life (ramadan decor set-up in the hotel lobby)

so happy to be on the 'dirty' kiddie rides in the mall - luckily i always have anti-bacterial wipes in my bag when li'l one goes out w/ me!

one photo w/ mummy before we head home - she doesn't look very happy here, does she? think she was too tired (didn't get to take her 'proper' naps as we were on the road)

i've been blessed...

once more!! the regular meetup kah-kis were just talking about this last week... about how as we move further away from the newborn stage, the less inclined we would be to have another one! one of us even set the dateline for june 09 to hit the jackpot (its not me! i'm terrible with datelines!)! so now i have an explanation for the weight gain, the sore nipples when li'l one nurses and my craving for meat! bring me the churrascaria anytime! i now have a legitimate reason to pig out! :P on a more serious note, will i have enough love to go around? will i have the time and energy to chase after a active toddler and at the same time, change nappies & nurse every hour? how will li'l one take to her new sibling? and most importantly - will the new sibling be a 'meimei' or 'didi' for li'l one? i suppose - only time will tell!

strawberry milk?

warning: graphic post i've always thought that bfing gets easier (& better) with subsequent children - because you are supposed to know what to do already! unfortunately though, i am still dodged by the same problems 2nd time round... its largely because my li'l prince decides that night feeds are not important & me, being the 'lazy' one, choosing sleep over clearing the milk ducts... now i'm in so much pain that i'm close to shouting out my entire vocabulary of expletives at the top of my voice! doesn't help that dh doesn't appreciate nor empathise with me! and oh, that's milk tinged with blood by the way & not strawberry milk! i had to use needles to poke and try to find the blocked ducts - that's the reason for the blood. no fun at all... i gave up after 15 mins w/o finding all the spots.
