Spending more time Getting so tied up with the boys now, I think my blog has got only contains updates on De Bumbo Boys. Obviously QQ also seldom appear liao (when Jaz asked me about how is QQ just now). See what is she up to:
This little princess of mine finally turns 5 recently. With the brothers around, she is no longer a lonely child but frequently fighting or getting annoyed when her brothers disturb her things (masak-masak) she nicely arranged on the table. They love playing on our sleep number bed, jumping here and there, giggling till tired before they fall asleep each night. As my neighbour (QQ’s ex-nanny) said, my house is now full of “happiness” with kids yelling and crying all the time.
Keeping her hair long, she now loves to make herself pretty. “Tai Kor Lui”, right? How time flies. My ugly dark lil duckling is now a swan princess. Each time before we leave the house, she will ask me, “Ma, you don’t wanna make up ah?” Until hubby also concern all the bad chemical getting into her tender skin as she loves putting on make up on her face 
Although she adores her brothers, I think she sometimes still feel jealous when I carry the boys. She even asked me, ” Mummy, why you always carry them ah”? Aiyo…takkan wanna carry her meh, so big buffulo already. Anyhow she still gets to spend lots of personal time with me, such as going out with me when I run my errands, and even folllow me to my 2 hourly facial treatment (thought can escape and wanna enjoy my 2 hour facial also cannot now).
Recently hubby talked about no.4 and yes, it would definitely good if we have another girl to make our children balance.I like the idea of having 4 kids too, especially when they boys are schooling and I begin to feel lonely. But sometimes when the kids scream down the house or when the boys refuse to sleep at night, hubby and I would shake head tell each other, no way we can tolerate another nightmare!

Greedy part of me wanting to do so much, with so limited of time. This is the cloth diaper that I am talking about..
These are some of the prototype of the very first Mama Patch Cloth Diapers! Made of super soft bamboo velour, I I love putting my boys into it. However it still requires a cover as this is a fitted diaper.
At this moment, the diapers are not for sale yet, as I have to put them through some product testing by some experience Mama before I can even call them a Mama Patch Cloth Diaper.
Right now, I am still seeking for some mums who are willing to work with me on this first diaper project, so called “Design/Review Mama Patch Cloth Diapers”. If you are a cloth diapering Mama who has always prefer using *Fitted (*that requires also a cover), do hop onto this project to be a part of us.
For more details, do visit this thread at the Diapers Asia Forum for more updates.
p/s: hubby still complains a lot on the boys cloth diaper. He still thinks that disposable is much more convenient and comfortable for the babies…sigh……

My photo came out in the recent Dumex mag, Nurture and You. Nothing to be proud about, with my greatly horizontally expanded figure, but QQ got herself a nice Pelikan stamping set it from the contest.
We had a fun weekend staying at home as my parents and aunt came up to visit us. Instead of Korkor, Didi is the friendlier baby now as he could let anyone carry him. Since my aunt and mum were here, they could really give me tips and opinion for some of my on coming projects in Mama Patch. My dad commented how nice if we are all just living a few doors away as we can always catch up with each other. However we will also need to make plans to go back at least one time before the actual birthday party celebration to make their birthday arrangement (selecting their cake, decide on headcount and sending out invitation, and decide the catering services). I know it is gonna be a fun trip, sigh…if only we are not so tied up here with something to do on the coming weekends

I must be crazy, indulged into something so exclusive and pricey for my boys! I guess this will be my most expensive Cloth Diaper investment, and hopefully the last too.
According to some Cloth Diaper mummies, Goodmama organic bamboo velour fitted diapers has been highly ranked among the fitted diapers. In fact, some of the Goodmama diapers are so hard to get and crazy mummies in US has gone to the extend of bidding them, crazy bor?
After making so much research and learning about cloth diapering, my 9 month heavy wetter (especially didi) now manage to go without disposable, even at night. I am proud to announce my achievement to go GREEN, therefore I would not hesitate to get them the best cloth diapers in the market so that they can sleep better, one diaper, from night till morning!
Notice the flower prints? Hahaha….I love them! *crazy mama here laughing to herself* See if you can catch my Hawaii Beach Boys with their flower prints during outing one of these days.

I am crazy about babywearing, cloth diapers (CD) and fabric these days. I just drool over these beautiful little things, what’s more if it can make my children healthy and happy. When I started using the CD, I truly have doubt about it replacing the disposable. However after using them for sometime now during our short outings, now I begin to introduce CD to my twins at night. I am very careful and I even check on the boys in the middle night as I do not want them to leak on my expensive latex mattress.
Thanks to Chanel and Christene who are very supportive and helpful. I recently start using Fitted Diapers at night for Didi now (has been 2 nights and so far no leakage). If time permits, I will do a review for each diapers that I have.
Cloth Diapers are really expensive here. I am planning to purchase direct from overseas from time to time, whenever I find good bargains.
Microfleece Liners, Anyone?
I am going to get some microfleece liners and Night Liners (nappy cut) in soon. Anyone wanna share to save the shipping cost?

During CNY, the boys have got enough of new clothes so I thought these would be a good investment for the boys, in long term.
Fuzzi Bunz Cloth Diapers (comes with one Microfiber insert)
Fuzzi Bunz CD came in sizes so I bought L so that it can last longer (greedy me!)
China-made One Size Coolababy (which comes with 2 Microfiber inserts).
Upon seeing the price of Coolababy (only half the price of Fuzzi Bunz) and some good reviews online, I could not resist myself from trying these made in China-made CDs.
Materials in China must be so cheap until they can sew so many buttons to the diaper (for easy sizing). I must say it fits very well for newborn as it could be button up until very small. Material wise, almost similar to Fuzzi Bunz. However the Microfiber insert is a little bit thinner compare to Fuzzi Bunz insert.
The CDs are quite useful for my short outings and even when I run out of nappy during day time. Although I no longer need to use disposable diapers during short outing, they are still on disposable at night (dare not risk it as they are sleeping on my expensive latex mattress).
