I have come to accept the fact that morning runs/training will be almost impossible.
AIR woke up even before 6am. Initially I thought he wanted milk. BUt no, all he wanted to do was chat and chat. And he started to chatter to himself at first, but of couse subsequently dear mummy would have to entertain la. So I gave up trying to feed him milk and just entertained him. And after that started, I knew this was not going to end soon. If he was hungry, he'll fall asleep again while being fed, but no, not when he talks to you and his eyes looking at you, wide open. So I thought I shall postpone my run.
We went on and on and on and then I realised - I have to cancel it again. Yup...there goes my run. CAn u imagine - right from almost 6am thru to about 705 am, we were talking and cooing and making all sorts of sounds. Yesterday was the 1st time I actually heard him squeal in delight...
Hubby was going to drive on a long journey, so I didn't expect him to entertain AIR. He needed the rest after a terrible tummy ordeal the night before. So, there goes another attempt...
Now you know why I can't wait for AIR to walk...I can take him further with me. My morning walk to the nursery with him, albeit uphill all the way, is just too short to do any good. I wonder if I can get ant milleage over this weekend?
hmmmm
I expect a weekend of a lot of window shopping with mum and alot of makan2.
Enjoy the long weekend, folks!

Photo Printing Online
Have you ever come across online photo printing services? It's very popular overseas but rather new here. All you have to do it - upload your photos online, fill in your personal details (for the delivery services) and then walla! the photos will arrive at your doorstep within 2-7 days...depending on where you live..
I chanced upon this site - eoe online while browsing online for some other things. It's an online store offerring online photo printing, digital camera shopping (new and second hand too), online photo storage for sharring and personal as well as photography related competitions. I got hooked. And now, there's a promotion going on. It's only RM0.30 per 4R print or RM0.50 per 5R print. You can even edit/enhance your photos with their online services before printing.
Anyhoo...I'm loving it. Serious. e-Print is so easy. You upload your photos into an album of your choice, create one if you must. But of course before that, sign in and register first la...After uploading your photos, you can choose to enhance your photos. Then select those that you want to print, and the sizes of your choice. Then load then into your purchase cart. Like any other online shopping portals, you can choose to delete or change and of your orders.
ONce you are a member, upon checking out your shopping cart, your delivery details are automatically filled up. Change if necessary. If you choose to want to deliver the photos to another person or address, fill up the related form given. Check that all are good and proceed to make payments. Payments can be made via credit card (Master/Visa), debit card (Maybank 2U) or bank-in. Once confirmed, i.e payment made in full, if you are in Klang Valley, your photos will arrive at your doorstep in 2-3 days. You can always track your order anytime...check your order status under 'My Shopping'.
For orders above RM35.00, delivery will be free for all areas within Malaysia. Otherwise it will be charged. Delivery rates within Malaysia and Singapore and International differs.
So, why wait! It's the best offer you can get without getting out of the door.
I've tried it and I can take my time and cater to my whims and fancies while choosing which prints I want and change my mind every now and then. I don't have to prepare everything before hand and then go out and look for the shop, parking spot and then hurriedly get it over with.
Photo printing has never been easier with eoe online e-Print. Save time, save money and save all the hassle.

Again...
Now I'm beginning to wonder if its because of me, that AIR wakes up early.
Today is another example - my alarm was set for 620am. Prior to that, AIR stirred in his sleep abit. NOthing new. So when alarm went off, I was delighted as I thought I would be able to finally clock some milleage, albeit rather miserable one.
HOwever, AIR had something else in his mind too. As I got out of the bathroom, he stirred and looked at me wide-eyed again. So, looks like another postponement. Hubby was having an upset tummy. I wouldn't expect him to over see AIR if I did put on my shoes and go for a short run.
So, I stayed and 'chatted' with AIR again. He was more eloquent today. Hmmm and he added new sounds/babbling too. PLUS, today he turned himself from back-lying to his side, and continued talking. And by now, yup, it will have to be cancelled. :)
And so we kept talking and talking and talking then i gave him some expressed breast milk before his cough medicine. He still has his cough, which seems to be worse than last week. OVer the weekend, I thought it was gone. But no...poor boy.
We 'horsed around' abit more before I finally had to walk him to the nursery. He loves the attention the girls waiting for the bus gives him when we walk past them.
Another day of surprises and more to come. Now it actually makes me wonder whether it was me, or the lack of me which woke him up. Because when I went to the bathroom, perhaps my smell or my weight on the bed was gone, so he woke up. hmmmm....we'll test it out again....

Astro-NOT
I've always had the impression that Astro, yeah our paid-TV, is easy to install. I didn't know that its dish (outdoor unit, to be technically correct, DTU), has to face a certain direction...until last Saturday.
So, we're now all geared to watch Astro after the guys come and install it at our new place. TV and everything else in place. And when the guy came, his first reaction was, 'Alamak, rumah kat belakang ni ke?' i.e. your house is not facing the 'right' direction. Oops!
Errr, so how?
Option 1 - we place the DTU at the supposedly 'strategic' location and wire it back to the house. Long cable, poor signal, so need to add booster. (Hmm, i'm expecting this to be very costly too)
Option 2 - looking upwards from my balcony I saw 2 units which had the DTUs on a 7" extension (arm). So I wanted to use that also. OK, they'll call when the 'arm' is available. Shorter distance, better quality, no need booster, price is slightly cheaper, RM170 (as I expect) or almost the same as Option 1.
So, the day came and everyone was prepared to have the DTU installed from the balcony, outside the 3rd room. Installation took only about 15 minutes. Setting and searching for the signal - after half an hour, almost, nothing...still below the 60% mark. SO looks like Option 2 has failed.
hmmmm guess if we really want to watch PAID TV, then Option 1 it has to be. Aiya.....
So off they went to work again, after charges were discussed.
Finally, after completion, we've now got a 55+metre cable from the DTU to our decoder. And the charges? More expensive than that 'arm'.....What to do....

It's Not as Easy....
It's funny how easy I thought it would be. Set your mind and schedule, wake up and do it. That's all. Previously, that is. Now, I have another factor to add - AIR. Yes!! And seems like now the additional factor is not as predictable as I thought it would be.
Today I made an effort to wake up extra early just for that short run. However, after brushing my teeth, I walked out of the toilet/bath to see AIR starring at me eyes wide open. Gosh, 'shouldn't he be still fast asleep at this time?' thinking to myself....guess not. And then I thought my plans may have to be delayed...but soon after, he started to 'chat' and that's a sign that he's not going to go back to sleep anymore. Guess my plans are now shelved. hehehe
So chatting it was, and then came poopoo....and more chatting. Soon, it was time to send him to the nursery. And since i didn't get to jog, so I walked there with him. He enjoyed the short walk, looking all around him...and enjoying the attention people give him along the way. He used to love to smile at people, now he's quite selective. I suppose he's begining to recognise people slowly.
Our impromptu trip back to hubby's kg (that was his first long road trip) was indeed an eye-opener to him. He saw chickens running around, lots of cats and kittens and he was trying to immitate the cock crowing. It sounded like he was trying to poopoo...And after a whole day of making that sound...he's still doing it now.
He may soon have another new experience....we may be flying back soon.

AIR's 100 days old!
AIR is 100 days old today!!
So is there a term for that? You ride 100km, and it's called a century ride. 100 years is 1 century. So 100 days old? errrr...
From a tiny 2.92kg he's now a hefty 6.5kg boy. He used to be soooo fragile-looking, now he's so buff and tough. During his first jab at the paed, he cried so much and so loud. His 2nd jab at the same place, he barely cried. It was more of a sob. We were totally surprised!
And so much has happened and there will be many more to come.
The best part is the joy of spending time with him and seeing him grow up. Sadly, on weekdays we spend so little time with him. I hope I can do something to be able to spend more time with him.

Lighting
Yellow light (from bulbs) is supposed to be better than those white light (from flourscent lights), esp for the eyes.
My office uses 'yellow lights' and its really nice. I like the atmosphere it creates. HOwever, sometime last year, our office expanded and the new area uses flourescent lights. NOt a problem to adjust to it. BUt it feels like any other place la. Feel like an office. NOrmal office.
Then, 2 days ago, my boss told the few of us at the new area to move back to our previous seats. So we did. And now I get to enjoy the yellow lights again. Unfortunately I'm having a tough time adjusting to it. Yesterday was ok as I wasn't all the time at my seat. Today, trying to read and do some calculations on white coloured paper, proved difficult. I've got to take short breaks in between. hmmmm
Tired eyes...
Hmmmm....me no likey...from PC to book, I suddenly get this glare starring back at me. arrrrgh
I need a break! :)
