Today

Gerald boy got his 3rd dose of Hep B.
Current weight 7.58kg.
He knows how to stand in the cot by pulling the railing as support.
He started eating cereal, I think he likes it.
We got a walker for him yesterday, actually YeYe got it for him, he didn't like it yesterday, but I think he likes it today.
He started to be more difficult and would cry, or should I say cry-scream....loud!! if he wants something..... stubborn, got it from me.

Me :
Another craft party, but a mini one.
Florence, is the organizer, and I got to know 2 new young friends, Alicia and Wen. They are all chinese speaking.
We learnt how to do "Kou Jing Bao" from Florence. Easy as she had already prepared all the materials for us, we just need to sew. But when she explained how to draft the pattern, I went nuts............ I don't think I remember.
I kinda "interviewed" Florence. She has a blogshop. She specialized in fabric products and occasionally does jewelry. She is a full time handcrafter from Ipoh. She came down specially for this party, of course with some other plans too. She started 5 years ago and was tough in the beginning. What I found our is that everyone will reach a "point", where they need to do something, when they finally, all of a sudden, have the courage or determination to do something, to take the 1st step. And from that 1st step, she made it.... Success doesn't land on you, you need to walk to it, and find your way there. I am inspired. I will work harder.

Oh, I was overwhelmed with so many surprises.
I got an email to be interviewed and featured by The Sun, a FREE paper in Malaysia.
Soo Wern Jun is the writer and we did the informal interviewed yesterday. I hope the write-up would be good. And most importantly, my pictures would be amazing!!!
Secondly, I received another email from CLEO magazine citing they wanna feature my Lollipops in their Nov issue. Sent them some pics and hope it comes out well. Writer is Deborah Raj.
Thirdly, Nixen Teoh called, My Ex Boss in Guess. Asked me out for lunch on Monday. I guess he just want to "test water" to see if I would go back to work for him..... Unless his offer is so so good that I cannot refuse, else, nah........
Fourth, I had a drink with Sylvia Lee, ex colleague from Guess too. She is not working and is working on her online shop too, focusing in baby apparels. Little Buttons. But I think she has not reach the "point" yet. Hope she will make the move.
Fifth, tomorrow is FAB!! Bazaar @ Solaris Dutamas. I have made special display with cartons. My theme is "Reuse and Recycle with TLH!"
Sixth, signed up with Chic Pop 5 . Hope I can get a spot this time.

End.

Progress






























# 1 : suppose to bake Molten Choco Cake as a surprise for Tun's coming Birthday, but 2 attempts wasn't up to my expectation. My Sifu, Denise, had recommended me another simple recipe, Tim Tam truffles.... hehe... this is so much easier. Will try it out this week.
# 2 : Gerald boy has grown, in terms of behaviour, but not much on weight. He cried less, and we can carry him less as he can sit by himself quite steady and can play by himself. Started crawling, which means someone needs to watch him. He surprised me last Thurday when he suddenly stood up by holding on to the cot's railing. So surprised, happy and worried at the same time, immediately pull the railing up to highest, in case he climb out. Phew..... He seems to understand what we say, sometimes. He is currently 7.5kg.
# 3 : The Lollipop House had participated 4 bazaars/art market since August 2010. Sales from each events varied accordingly. Online sales was good last month before Raya. Wonder how will it be after that. I have a few more bazaar coming up, hence busy making more Lollipops to be sold. SOmetimes ideas just came flushing into my mind and I can't wait to start working but by the time I sat down in front of the work table, my mind is blank. I just do not have the habit of writing or jotting the ideas down. Another progress is that I have officially opened my 1st "Cube Store" @ Skudai Parade's Cube Cube Store. Started on 14/8/10 but till now only sold 1 unit. I guess I need to change the products there, to some cute stuff. Arghhh... so much to do with only so much time and 2 hands.
# 4 : Cooking. Still experiencing but the taste of dishes sometimes varies. I need to look into that.
# 5 : I need to EXERCISE!!!!!
