Princess K, the fashion Diva

My daughter, even the brothers call her princess, has turn into a fashion diva and a drama queen. She must have her sun glasses, cap and watch on board Airasia flight to Langkawi. She found her princess saddles in Langkawi and insisted us to buy for her.

However, out of this trip, she conquered her fear of getting her feet on the sand and getting her hands dirty digging into sand. She was able to walk with her bare feet on the beach and dug with her bare hands.

Jack's First Stage Performance

Jack performed on stage for the first time in October last year. He practised almost everyday in school and came late September and early October, he told the teacher, he is tired and not going to do it anymore. We have an open mind since the beginning of this project. He is only 3 years old, if it happen, we are cool about it and if he refuses to participate, we are also Ok about. The teacher called me about it, I asked her to give him a break.

Just a few days before the concert, he participated in the practice session again. On the day of the concert, he clung to us and refused to go to backstage like the rest. His father accompanied him all the time. Again, we thought this is not going to happen! Fair enough, when come to his turn, he went on stage without hesitance and mastered his every move and act. So so proud of him. My Goodness, my 3 years old son, of course, tears in my eyes again watching my little boy!

Daddy was there all the time

Missing In Action

I have been 'missing in action' for more than 5 weeks now since my last posting on 29 November 2011. We have a very busy December and very relaxing early January.

Last December, for the 1st to 3rd weeks, we have both the bathrooms renovated. We moved to a nearby service apartment for 3 nights to allow the workmen to carry out the hacking and finish up some wet works. It was too dusty and dangerous for the children to be around. 

Previously, we have only toilet at lower floor. We decided to refurbish the toilet and add on a shower room. The children used to bath in their little baby bathtub or with a bucket of water in the toilet. As they get older, we felt it is not appropriate for them to bath that way. We renovated the bathroom upstair to accommodate a new bathtub. The children like having a bath occasionally. They picked up the habit since our last trip back to their grandparent's home.

The work was supposed to finish in 2 weeks time but was dragged to the 3rd week. Typical attitude of Contractor, everything can when you first talked to them.

We stayed 3 nights at a place called Saville, just by the old klang road. It was a 3 + 1 rooms apartment with 3 bathrooms equipped with cooking and laundry facilities. This suited us well with the cooking and laundry facilities and it cost RM250/night. You have to pay extra RM10/day for car park facilities. Next time, if you have some family members come to visit and do not wish to pay some high hotel prices, maybe you can check this out short stay apartment and short term rental.

In between, the children including the maid and myself were fallen ill with fever, cough and cold.

Finally, the bathrooms finished just a few days before Christmas. We were doing very last minute shopping for the kids' present and busy preparing Christmas lunch. We have few of our close friends joined us for the celebration.

Then, we were off to Langkawi again for a 4 days break. Like people always said things get easier as the children get older. We have no problem with the children sitting on the plane by themselves. The eat, sleep and really enjoyed themselves playing sand and water there.

So, I am back, will try to get some updates soon including IVF success stories. Another break coming up soon in 2 weeks time, the Chinese New Year and early February public holidays. Really need to get back to routine, children are getting a bit out of hand after the long break.

IVF Success Story in Malaysia

Dear Readers and Followers,

My new blogspot :IVF success story in Malaysia has been uploaded and up and running. Thank you for those who has contributed their information and I am very pleased with their 'sharing' spirit! 

I am still doing some research and still yet to post some other success stories. I hope the medical background/history in treatments of these successful couple will be able to assist or serve as guideline for those with the same problem or currently undergoing treatment.

K, the little princess

We went for a day trip to Port Dickson months ago. K, the little princess cried and refused to get her feet and hands dirty.

We made another trip to Port Dickson few weeks ago and this time, we are all prepared with the princess. She was all geared up with the booths from UK from her cousin and we prepared buckets of water for her to wash her hands. At the end, she enjoyed herself a little bit better than the last time.

The twins are 2

We have little celebration party arranged for the twins for their 2nd birthday last Saturday. No professional photographers, no caterer, no expensive cakes. We just have a little BBQ (food prepared by myself), a friend helped to take photos and the twins love their cake. The cupcakes were made by aisha.

IVF Success Rate In Malaysia

After talking, welcoming childless couples to my home and reading all other blogs about couples who are trying to get pregnant or has successfully got pregnant, I realised that all those childless couples out there are most interested to know the following:-

1. How many years you have been trying?

2. What is yours or spouse's problem?

3. Who is your doctor or clinic you have visited?

4. What procedure you have gone through?

5. How many failures before success?

6. How much does it cost?

Then, I was thinking, maybe I should do some research and start a blog called 'IVF Success Rate in Malaysia". The information of those who has successful upgraded their status from childless to handful or just got pregnant should share some of the above information and the information can serve as a reference to others who are going to embark onto their infertility treatment journey.
