Custom Made Items

YAY! These 2 items which I ordered one week ago finally reached me today. One is a passport holder for Randal and another is a card holder for myself. Both are sew with the Sanrio character fabric that I like most. There are many cute fabrics from her too. Thanks Siew Chern for the nice items and I like it very very much. Will place my second order very soon.

Please feel free to visit her store..........!!!!!

Leap Frog Tag Reader

I like Leap Frog product very much and so does Kendra. She had been playing with her click start lately and so into it. I planned to get her some new cartridges as I can feel that she started to feel bored about the game she have now. While I'm searching for the new game, I found that this Tag reader is not bad too. Maybe will get for her as her Christmas present.......

Hotslings

I've been comparing some baby pouches lately and keen to get one for myself. I never used it before and doubt whether it's as useful as described. Among all, I like those slings from Hotslings. I like the fashion fabrics use in this slings especially the color and pattern.... can't resist to get one for myself but, the price is not cheap. Here are some photos to share with you:

Designer - Kyoto

Designer - Sweet Pea

Reversible - Leaves Noir

Everyday - Tokyo

hahaha.. they got the kids version too.....

Kawai Kanyu Drops

I knew this products quite some times but didn't plan to get it due to the price is not cheap and I scare my princess don't like it. But after influenced by the media and some good comments from others, I bought a can of it to try. Not bad, Kendra just love it and so does her mommy.

The one I bought is Kawai Kanyu Drops C20 (Orange Flavor). It contains Vitamin A, D and C to strengthen the body immune system, lightens common colds and stimulates wound healing. It also aids in the absorption of iron. KAWAI Kanyu Drop C20 is especially suitable for those people who eat little fruit or vegetables. It's made in Japan.

I got mine at Guardian @ RM66.70 with 20% discount for 180 tablets. And you can get more info for this products here.

Spiffies Teeth Wipes

It's so hard for me to ask Kendra to brush her teeth every morning because she just so lazy + sleepy when I wake her up in the morning. She is so reluctant to go to the toilet in the morning and keep on telling me that she don't want to go to school..... she thought she can escape by this......

Since I will be going to Singapore next week, I plan to bring back some boxes of Spiffies Teeth Wipes for Kendra.

And for your information, this Spiffies is a safe, convenient and easy way to clean your baby's mouth and gums. It's designed for children 4 months and older and used by everyone when brushing is not available. Spiffies contains xylitol, a natural sweetener that looks and taste like sugar but has 40% fewer calories than sugar. It has the natural ability to fight cavities, reduce plaque, and keep bacteria from adhering to mucus membranes such as the nose. Xylitol also has been shown to fight ear infections and is safely used by diabetics.

Nike Kids Apparel

I'm crazy about the Nike kids clothes lately, always sit in front of ebay and search for the good deal. Sure you will ask me, why ebay? I can tell you that it's not so easy to get it here (Ipoh) and I can have more choices over there.

So far, I've bought 4 set of the outfit for Kendra and so happy that I've received 2 set of it this morning. Can't wait to see Kendra putting on all the nice outfit.

Cake

GUESS....what is inside this box???? No, no, no... it's not dozen of coffees but a lovely cake indeed.

This is the cake we bought for Kendra from The Coffee Bean and she was so surprise when we show it to her. It's weighted 2kg and fill with the royal chocolate filling. On top of the cakes, there are 3 smiling flowers with some marshmallow, chocolate, smarties, jellybeans, creamy biscuits and etc.

My Stuffs

Hahaha..... at last it's on my hand. This is the stuffs I bought online at some US website and ask hubby's colleague to smuggle to me on his trip to Ipoh. Things are pretty cheap there and the exchange rate are low too.....glad to have all this items at a lower price compare to get it here. Now, I'm thinking to make my purchases at Old Navy and GAP again since they are having Spring sales now.

Gift for Little Rafael

Yes, this is the first gift for Rafael. It was bought by hubby in US and I found it was cute for this little prince. It's a gift set from Levi's which consist of 1 long sleeve creeper, 1 short sleeve creeper, 1 Levi's jeans and a keepsake box. Will bring it to him if I'm available to join my parents to Singapore next month.....see ya, Rafael!

My new bags

Thank God hubby able to catch the last flight from Singapore to Penang after 6 hours delay in San Francisco. He reach Ipoh around 22.30 and I'm happy that he is able to get me another Lesportsac bag when he transit in Changi.

As I have promise to some of my friends, I'll snaps the photos of the bag and post it here.

This is the "Molly" in Sweetie Pie print. For your information, this Sweetie Pie print is a limited edition print and it's out of stock in some countries. I like this "Molly" design is because of it's size. Is's big enough for me and have lots of compartment and pockets to stay organized. It came along with a small cosmetic bag. Bought it at SGD130.........

This week is a busy week for me because hubby was not around and I need to rush to fetch Kendra everyday.......TGIF!!!!

Since hubby is in US now and I've ask him to get Kendra a Leapfrog product. It's much more cheaper than getting it here. I'm very headache now because I don't know what to buy for Kendra......Leapster or the Click Start My First Computer. I did check the price here, Leapster is selling at RM554 whereby it's only USD59.90 in the State.... a big different in price if I get it here.

Ipoh J Card Day

Last Thursday was Ipoh J card day and too bad that I'm not here because I need to go to KL for my sales meeting. Few days before the sales, I already went to Jusco to ask the promoter there to reserve the things I want and then ask hubby to go and collect it on my behalf.

Early morning on that day, hubby called me up and told me there's so crowded there even the store haven't open. Hubby quickly went in to the store and collected my stuffs and went home. According to him, his t-shirt was all wet when he came out from the store.

Luckily my meeting was ended earlier and able to catch the 2.30pm bus to back to Ipoh. When I reached Ipoh around 5.30pm, I straight away go to Jusco with hubby. This round, I want to shop for toys as my friend SMS me and told me that lots of toys is marked down to 70%. That day I only shop and reserved Kendra's clothes and didn't buy any toys for her. And when I'm at KL that day, I bought her some clothes from GAP too. Wow, it seems she got lots of new clothes waiting for her........

Mamy Poko is cheap on that day.....only RM44.90 for the super jumbo pack. I cannot resist the offer and had bought 2 pack of it even I still have some stock. Other than that, we have bought her a set of Lego. It's very worth buying it on J card day as the retail price for this set is RM199.90 and on J card day, it got 10%+10% discount. Furthermore, we can claim back RM10 vouchers for every RM100 we spend on that day.

Let take a look on what we have bought for Kendra.

Finally I've found it

Finally I've found this alphabet macaroni in the newly open Cold Storage at Ipoh Parade. It's selling at RM6.99 per pack with 500g in it.

Crocs shoes

Since my company is the one of the distributor of Crocs shoes, I'm entitle to purchase it at a lower price than retail price. I start hopping around to find the design and colour I want to buy for myself, hubby and Kendra. Finally, I've come out the list.......
For myself, I'll have the cleo in chocolate/cotton candy, white/celery and for the capri (the middle design) I'll go for charcoal/sea foam and lastly the mary jane in lavender.
For Kendra, I'll buy her the kids scutes either in lavender/cotton candy or army green/yellow.
For hubby, I'll buy him either scutes in black/lime or sobek in white/green.

Snoopy's Cutting Masher

If you ask me what is the most satisfy stuff I bought during my Japan trip, sure I will tell you this is the one.......... "Cutting Masher with Case"

I bought it in the Snoopy Town in Harajuku at 787 yen. It's really convenient to use especially for us that always dine outside. I use it to cut the noodles into small pieces for Kendra so that she can have what I ate. Other than use it as a noodles cutter, it can be use as a masher too. I used it to mash everything before feed it to Kendra. It comes with a clear case which I found it's hygiene enough for you to carry it anywhere you like.

Remember to check this out if you happen to go to Japan.......

Japanese Snack/Biscuit

Felix bought a lots of Japanese Baby Biscuit for Kendra on his trip back. All are in very nice packing and Kendra like it so much. She keep on passing the box to me and hope that I'll open it for her.

I noticed that most of the Japanese food is less/without preservative. Like some snacks we bought in Japan during our trip, was expired 3-4 days after we were back to Malaysia. Like this biscuit and snacks was only can be keep about 2 to 3 months from the manufacturing date. I feel more comfortable to let Kendra have this kind of snacks.

Pocket Diaper

As this topic was bring out by some of the MJ members, I'm keen to let Kendra try on it to save some money on the disposable diapers. Still in the searching stage to find out more about this diapers as too many brand were in the market. Here are some brand that I'm looking into:

1. Mommy's Touch
2. Bumwear
3. Drybees
4. Bum Genius

Mommies out there, what brand will you choose?

Personalized Birth Annoucements

Just finished housekeeping the store room down stairs and managed to found the "full moon" pack of Kendra that we still left from last year.

As what you see from the picture, it's a cute box containing some cookies, chocolate, lollipop , toffees and a personalized card. It's a very creative idea of birth annoucements from One-Joy. Like it from the first time I saw their advertisement at the parenting magazine and insisted hubby to order it for Kendra. It worth the money to get it because most of our friends who received it like it a lot. For my second child, I think I'll order it again since I wish to give a fair treatment to both of my them.

Cheap Mamy Poko

I was told by my friend that Tesco is having promotion for the super jumbo size Mamy poko. It's 42.99 plus RM3.00 rebate if you buy the mamy poko pants. A SUPER best deal in town i think. The promotion period is from 19th April 2007 -2nd May 2007. Hubby and me were there for so many times but still cannot grab 1 for the size we want. Only size S and XL were available. Will go and try my luck again this afternoon and night.

Photo Book

I have seen this few months ago from a magazine and was told it again by my friend yesterday. The one that I read from the magazine is photo book and another one that my friend recommended me is pixart. Both are offer the same things but the price is a little bit different.

I have decided to get one for Kendra as her birthday present. I will upload all her photos from birth till the recent one to compile the book. I'm half way designing it and will place my order once it's done.
