We couldn't think of any other good time to watch The Avengers but today. So Hobbit and I tried as much as possible to finish our house chores and cook brunch. We took care of baby's needs and rushed out to CW for a movie and some quick shopping. To scale the movie, I give it an 8. If it weren't for the jokes, I would have fallen asleep! Good thing they have quite interesting lines.
In The Library
05.09.12 (10:31 am) [edit]
Currently repairing my peerless mount...Haish! I am currently typing this post in the library while invigilating my students doing their research writing. Some of them are roaming around despite me telling them not to in the beginning of class. Anyway, I am just a substitute today and it is ironic how I am subbing my own previous class. The teacher who took over my classes when I went on maternity leave is now on a compassionate leave. So I have to sit in...Since my mind is just thinking about little Hobb, I let my students be, as of now... :)
Two Essentials
05.09.12 (10:18 am) [edit]
Right now my little baby Hobb has two essentials that I need to shop for every other week - disposable diapers and milk formula. The walmart coupons that was given, I spent them all buying milk and diapers! A baby in the family makes a lot of difference to the financial box and this could only be understood if you are a parent yourself or supporting a child. I am so glad I get to learn and understand such burden at an early age. It helps me a lot after settling down with Hobbit. Despite the financial hole, trust me...Having a baby is worth more than silver or gold. They can teach you things that nobody can. I love my little baby Hobb!! :)

Baby & Mozart
04.29.12 (3:29 pm) [edit]
Music is powerful to the mind. When Hobb baby was growing in my tummy, I made sure he had enough Mozart supply. In other words, whenever I am idle at home, or in bed, I made sure Mozart was serenading in the background. When I was doing my research if Mozart or music can actually influence an unborn baby, I found out that there were two sides of the story. One side believe that it psychologically affects the baby when the mother is soothed by the soft, gentle music when she is tired. While the other side said that nothing is really proven yet. Oh well..Through the mother or nothing has been proven yet, I just wanted something to prepare Hobb baby when he comes out and experience his new surrounding. I thought, when he listens to Mozart or any music, it's nothing foreign anymore. Oh well, me with my theory. One of my friend suggested that I should make live sound such as timbales, piano, violin, flute, etc for baby! Now that he's out, guess what? The one thing that calms Hobb baby down is no other than Mozart's music. Coincidence or familiarity??
Back to the Piano Again
04.23.12 (11:04 am) [edit]
After a long hiatus in music, Hobbit and I finally got to jam together last Friday to take away our boredom and also to put baby to sleep! I sat at the piano and Hobbit on his ipad to browse lyrics. Oh boy, it is so good to sing again. We even surfed Eventide to add to the music discussion thing. We have this dream to one day make baby our tenor or bass singer, if he likes singing, we hope. People say, hey, you've got to get another alto. That means, another baby right? Ahhh...Not too soon or maybe no?? Well, lets see! :)
Gift after Gift

We have a boat seating at home! Yay! Thanks to baby! Everything has changed in our house. Before we moved to our current place, we made sure that everything is sorted out. No clutter! Yet, when the little boy came, our house is a clutter once again! Well, mostly cluttered with baby stuff. The grandparents recently visited again and guess what? They brought many gifts from aunties and uncles back home. Not only that, they also bought several big stuff and willingly carried all the way here. Not complaining. Just want to move to a bigger place now. :)

Yoyo
04.17.12 (5:46 pm) [edit]
Have you played this toy people called yoyo before? When I was little, I remembered playing yoyo a lot with my brother and neighbors. We like to have yoyo race as to who could pick up the most throw. Then as I grew older, the game slowly died off and forgotten. How many childhood games we played died off too soon? I can name a few. Anyway, the other night I was strolling through a night market and came across this old man selling a few yoyos. I spotted them right on for it is just too familiar not to notice. I bet none of the younger generation knows about yoyo and some might not even heard of it. The yoyo I spotted was too expensive after asking for the price. Hey, yoyo in my time only cost like RM2. Who wants to buy for RM20?? I miss playing yoyo race with my neighbors back then..:(
Faulty Ear Buds
04.04.12 (1:45 am) [edit]
I spent some time reading about hearing loss last week and found out things I've never knew before! Anyway, today I was kinda free since mom is doing all the housework and baby Hobbs is well taken care of. I decided to take out my ipod and clean the previous loaded songs in it and replace them with some of my new favorites. When I was about to listen to the songs via my ipod, not a single beat or sound came from the ear buds. Ahh...the in ear buds are not functioning and I just got them a few weeks back! So I decided to ask Hobbit to go back to where I got them and ask for a replacement. To my surprise, I have to go or mail it all the way to Singapore just to get it replaced. Frustrated, I didn't bother about getting another replacement. I just went in to the Apple store and bought the default ear buds. Nothing too fancy next time for they always come to you with tantrums and faults!
