It is the funny movie, done by Astro during Chinese New Year 2010. Every day, Didi ask us put on the DVD himself and watch from morning till night! They watch and watch every day until Korkor also can recite some of the very funny phrases from that movie now.

Since we went back to Kuantan during Cheng Beng, hubby took us to visit the fishing village, Besrah, where the movie was filmed. It is a very small fishing village, and there isn’t much to see actually. The kids were so excited as they recognise some venue filmed, and even Kakak could recognise the house that was filmed in that movie!

The little hut where the crying kids sat on top in the movie

Hubby took 2 extra days so we could stay longer there this time back since we seldom go back there now. In fact, I love Kuantan beach so much that I even tempted to celebrate the boys’ birthday there this year (wonder if there will be any guess attendance???)

While Didi was at the back on his royal car seat next to Kakak

while QQ has to sit in front coz both rows behind was too packed

Can see how we use our ring slings to shed the children from direct sunlight inside the car? Pretty useful eh…

Anyone who sees me in mamapatch facebook now will surely know that what I am waiting for at this moment.Yes, the moment Mama Patch reaches 1280 fans, I’ll have to change all my price to Promo Price on website, and send out all my replied emails in draft. There has been lots of enquiry coming in.

Pure Linen Series

This discount is a great opportunity for anyone who wish to try out wearing their babies. Even existing customers are grabbing more Ring Slings (28% is really a good time to grab our new launched Luxurious Pure Linen) to match their clothing!

Premium Fleece Cloth Pads

Besides  a great chance to experience babywearing, friends who were reluctant to try out the cloth pads initially actually turn in to ask more about cloth too. Am really so happy to see many them giving cloth a try this time, and I can 101% assure you that there is no turning back to disposable once you tried cloth pads.

Fun with medicine

Thanks for all well wishes, for us. We wish you the same too, to be in the pink of health before the arrival of CNY.

The boys are indeed getting better and today, Korkor no longer release smelly-watery yellow poo. That ends the misery of forcing them to drink so much of medicine, especially the “plasticky smell” medical powder sachet. Although they are only having flu and coughing now, drinking only 2 types of medicine is a bliss.

The boys love to play with the syringe. Tricking them to take medicine becomes easy this way. Of course they are smart that they would not drink those sweet syrup so we alternate a few syringes with plain water (it is easy as my boys love plain water).

Mama Patch CNY & Valentine’s Day Special Collection

In conjuction to this coming festive season, and also for the first time, we are offering a great bargain of 8% off for this Hot and Sexy Ring Sling collection. A great time to add another item to your wardrobe, matching it with your CNY clothing :) Check out more details at Mama Patch Website

Mama Patch will be close from 12th~20th February 2009 for this coming CNY celebration. Last shipment will be 11th February and resume again on 22th February 2009.

On the other hand, I am still rushing to deliver orders for Mama Patch so do not have the time to bake my pineapple tarts yet. In order to not neglecting my family, I am closing order for custom made pads and ring slings now so I can have more time for CNY preparation. For ready stock, you can still send in order and we will ship out before we leave home for CNY.


A typical day of a SAHM with twin boys

As the boys (now at 19 months) hardly nap now (only once a day), I no longer enjoy long online working hours. For the 2 hours nap, I have to reply emails, enquiries, update worksheet when receive order, kepo-ing and visit my friends in FB, take pictures, edit them and then upload the products and my blog pictures, snap the pads, make arrangement and pack things for shipping, go out run errand, pick up stocks from my tailor, and finally blog, chat, bake (if I have time)!

*Now you see*

For instant, this is what they did when I want to take picture of my sling for my website. As they just recovered from their flu and cough and have better appetite recently, now they both look almost the same again! Gosh, even myself can’t even recognise who is who now!

*Now you don’t*

As they were playing at the grill door, blocking my lighting, kept on appearing in my many camera clicks, then go play on the electric plugs (sigh….modern plugs are situated so much lower now at the risk of children touching them), we shooed them away.

“WAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!”

And this is what happen usually when I am in a rush to get things done, so that I can meet delivery and reply mails. I got stuck afterward for hours, trying to soothe my *si beh cheung hei* boys down, nurse them, coax them and finally by the time they fell asleep, their “want-to-play” sister is back from school again!

So now you know why it is so hard to get just one simple email or quotation replied from SAHM like me. Having a maid is not much better when it comes to managing the boys as they are also older now, and know who to choose to carry them. 

Breastfeeding Pacifying twins @ 19 months

Tell you, they even pakat to suckle together, face to face, play, giggle and laugh while suckle from my poor boobs. If the first one let goes of my poor overly-dry dangling boob, he will ask another to “tutup baju” also. But if the other half refuse, one will get very *boh-kam-wan* and continue suckle for comfort at his side until there is no ending for me :(

Some little achievement for the week

1. Release of Mama Patch Premium Fleece Pad at Mama Patch

2. New design flannel cotton pads : Floral/ Plaid Regular at Mama Patch

Anyone saw me in Facebook already knows how *burning and exploding* mad I was a few days back. Anyhow I had a great weekend at the Damai Picnic and I shall share the happy thing first.

Some pics from the picnic. I forgot my camera, but thanks to Faridah’s hubby for helping me to capture some of them.

Tell you, these bean bags are so beautiful and so comfy. How nice if I can afford to get a few of these in my house!

More pictures of the picnic here

Really, I did not expect this picnic to be so fun, especially for the kids (how I wish I am a kid again!) There are so many activities arranged for kids

  • fresh cupcake decoration kids can decorate (a small fee for children activities will be charged)
  • arts and crafts for kids
  • story telling

besides yummy BBQ and great talks/demo going around for the adults. Those who have not turned out, you have really miss this one. But if you are into babywearing, we will have another babywearing gathering soon, on this Sunday at Tiny Tapir, Ampang Park.

Don’t be surprise if you see pic of a man wearing his son on Mama Patch new product leaflets very very soon.  All the while it was me, the mother who wear the boys but Jessie suggested that it is nicer to have men do the babywearing instead. Looks cool huh? Thanks, Jessie for your suggestion.

Nah…he won’t wear his son in public la since he has 2 maids (me and Kakak) carrying his boys. But I still like to put the boys on him just for my photography sessions. We wanted to try on QQ but she refuse :)
