Lilypie 2nd Birthday Ticker Lilypie 1st Birthday Ticker


Raelan @ 2 and a half months old

Is it me or is the time a bit slow? I kept thinking that Raelan has gone beyond three months but he’s only at 2 and a half months old though we were only opening his baby gifts two months ago. I think maybe because his physical development is much faster than Raelynne’s one at this age. Raelynne was still quite small size at this age but Raelan has surpassed that and I kept thinking that he’s older than he is… hahaha…

Anyway, this little boy’s development is quite fast in terms of physical build. He also likes to talk alot. Actually he likes people to talk to him and he will respond back. So far he has not gone out from the house much. He is different from the sister whereby last time the sister will sleep when we are travelling in the car or in the stroller. However, this little boy will be wide awake and keep looking here and there and being very curious of his environment.

Everyone at home enjoys talking to him even though he doesn’t say anything that you can understand. Not sure if he will be talkative in the future or not. At this age, he also tried to turn himself as well.



Raelynne loved her first day

Raelynne went to school this morning for the first time in her life. It was actually a trial day for her as the teacher said to put her in for one day trial and see how she goes.

Based on the feedback obtained, Raelynne received many praises from her teacher. Raelynne also refused to go home when it was time to go. So most likely we are going to register her into the school. At least she is able to learn something new and Mummy can take 2 hours time off from her and just look after Raelan.

> Computer stuff

Being involved in the IT industry, computer stuff always fascinates me and I have always have a big interest in any IT equipments. Recently I browsed http://www.xoxide.com which is a site that sells computer accessories. It offers great computer casings, cooling systems, computer lighting, as well as other computer related products. As we all know, a computer’s temperature is the most important part where you should keep your computer as cool as possible.

The site offers many range of computer cooling system, whether it is a CPU cooling system or a computer case cooling fan, they have it all. That reminds me that I should increase my home PC’s cooling system so that it performs better. Currently, hot air is trapped inside the casing and I have already seen a few products offered at the site that can help me on this.

If you are want to increase your computer’s cooling capabilities, do check out this site as it is a one stop place for all your cooling needs. Don’t forget to pick up some other few cool gadgets as well from there.



Going to school

Tomorrow we will be sending Raelynne to school as a trial run to see if she can get used to it. The playschool is just 5 minutes away from the house thus it is quite convenient. It will only be a 2 hours thing but they are able to learn quite a lot. It goes from 9am to 11am and from Mondays to Thursdays only.

So we shall see if this little girl will fight with other people or “rob” others of their things. When you ask her if she wants to go to school, she said yes, but I can’t wait to see if Mummy can leave her there alone while she goes home for 2 hours.

> Watches

How often do you buy new watches or change them? As far as I can remember, I rarely change my watches nor do I buy new ones often. I am still wearing my watch which was given by my parents as a graduation gift 8 years ago and it still works fine. I’m not really into watches and do not have many. In fact I have only 3 watches in hand that I use. Though at times, I am tempted to buy watches which are nicely designed like Festina watches but somehow when I thought about it again, I do not need any additional watches. The current one is just fine. How about you? Do you go for new watches?

Maxis Mobile dead in Kota Kinabalu

Since early this morning, most likely around 2am or 3am, Maxis mobile signal went dead in Kota Kinabalu area which affected everyone who is using Maxis.

Being unable to call out or people calling in is really difficult. I now realised that mobile phone is such a necessity in our lives especially when it comes to official business. People can’t get in touch with you during emergencies or any other important matters.

To date, there’s no definite time when will the signal be up and a check with the Maxis retail shop across the road revealed that their network is down as well as they are unable to advise when it will be up again. They have the cheek to talk about their promotional products some more when we can’t even use our mobile phone.

So if anyone try to get in touch with me, the best is to email me.

> Market research

Nowadays it is very important to do the market research correctly for any products and services that you would like to offer. I have seen many companies failed because they did not do any proper market research or may do it wrongly. Many products failed to take off because nobody wants to buy them. I believed this has got to do with the company itself who offers the product but did not do enough market research to see if that particular product is well accepted by the consumers.

However, I have seen companies who performed their market research well as they are able to capture market share with their products and services.

Talkative boy

Raelan, our little boy likes to talk. Well talk as in coo-ing and making sounds. In fact, he likes people to talk to him, ask him questions, etc even though he doesn’t understand. Then he will respond to you with sound as if he is replying to your conversation. It doesn’t matter what topic, you can talk about commercial real estate, or talk about the sister, talk about the Mummy, surely there will be a respond.

Talk to him all the time and he will respond back to you. He can even laugh when you speak to him long enough and gives you a big smile. Yvonne has mentioned to me that this boy is talkative by looking at his lips… maybe it is true after all! Don’t forget he is only two months old… so I assume that he will be more talkative when he’s older.

Raelynne’s Birthday Celebration

raelynnebday01.jpg

This was meant to be posted earlier but I have been so busy for the past two days that leaves me no time to do this post. Anyway, we celebrated Raelynne’s birthday on Sunday, 22nd June together with my niece, Reayana who’s birthday falls on 23rd.

We made it lunch time since its more convenient for us and mainly invited close relatives only. Raelynne has been waiting for this day for many weeks now since we tell her that her birthday is coming soon. She was very excited.

I took her out to fetch her Kung Kung (FIL) and later to pick up the cake in the city. Earlier in the morning, she had a fever which lasted few hours and it went back to normal after that. Not sure why she had fever but then it was on and off until today thus I found out that I think her big teeths are coming out. She has about 4 more big teeths inside that yet to come out.

After picking up the cake, we came back around noon time and the food caterer already delivered the food in custom boxes. After lunch, the moment arrived where the cake was brought out.

I ordered two cakes from Secret Recipe, one for Reayana and one for Raelynne. I found out that nowadays they can “print” on the icing any photo or picture that you wanted.

For Raelynne’s cake, we asked her what she would like to have, so the first thing she said was choo choo train. So the closest choo choo train that she knows is Thomas. So I decided to get the Thomas picture for her cake instead.

Its a pity that I missed out the photo opportunity or video of Raelynne when I took out the cakes. My goodness, she was so overly excited and smiled so broad. Then she started dancing round and round and round. I think she has been waiting for this moment for a very long time already.

She also has been practicing how to blow candles :D . Look at the photo above, her lips showing how she wants to blow the candles. Of course other kids (cousins) also wanted to blow candles.

I think she was the happiest of them all on that day. Her happiness doesn’t end there and then as well. At night she was singing Happy Birthday to Kung Kung, to Yeh Yeh, to Poh Poh, to Daddy, to Mummy, almost everybody that she can remember. Then she tells you… Daddy, blow cake, phooooo! … hahahaha.

> Wall mount for TV

Last weekend we changed our room a bit to accomodate for the bigger family. Took out some cabinets and rearranged the rest. At least now it looks bigger in space. We are also letting Raelynne to sleep on the floor now since she’s a deep sleeper with the capability of rolling all over the place. Looks like the only thing we need now is a tv wall mount for our TV, or perhaps we can do away with the TV and have it replaced with a TV box where we can use our LCD monitor on the computer to watch tv instead.


The selection of baby names is becoming major problem for parents. The parents are getting help from different relatives even from consultants. After this, feeding with bottles is another major issue fro babies. Many health conscious mothers are avoiding for plastic bottles because it is considered as not better for health of babies. But, instead of these, glass bottles are more selling because of its wide range of variety.
