416...

saturday... a day that we have been waiting. ian's first stay in a hotel room. as i have mentioned in my older post that we will be going for our first trip to singapore. we plan to have a trial stay in a hotel before the trip. for us to see the problem and mistake so that we can improve them. is a bit risky for a first stay out at a place so far therefore we plan for one nearby. swiss garden hotel, kl.

busy morning packing and getting ready. actually mentally we have been planning and getting ready way before today. we left home earlier after we have done packing. we went to sunway pyramid to get my handphone repaired at a nokia service center. it will only need 1 hour so we look for a place to have something light as we are still full due to our nasi lemak breakfast. we need place to feed ian. is his lunch time.

papa pick to try out sake sushi. the price is quite costly compare to sushi king. we use to go to sushi king because we have vouchers from sushi king-diners club card. the vouchers are no longer attractive, therefore we had switch to manhattan fish, not attractive also and eventually now, secret recipe. ok, back to sake sushi. they have different kind of baby chair. just like what we experience before at sushi king, is a baby chair that has to be tied on to a chair type. but then in sushi king we actually put ian on a single chair then he can face us. but then in sake sushi their chair is those long bench type. so, ian will have to be aline with us. kind of hard to feed but lucky that mama is well train. hehe.. very often have to feed ian while he is on his potty, back facing me. here's some nice shot taken - ian with papa.


(i really like the way his head lean towards papa. sweet...)

we left sake sushi, pickup my handphone. ta da!! i am back in photo shooting. hehe.. sad that this had happen. why? i got to upgrade my handphone's software. so, it has to be reformat. all my data in the phone gone. manage to copy the contacts but not the calander data and the sms. more to the sms as i kept all the sweet sms after ian's arrival from papa. also some argument but facts sms. during our apart when i have my confinement in melaka. also the tough few months dealing with ian. probably is a sign for time to put those away. look forward. but still is sad to leave those sweet ones.

is always common to take us long to get to kl. slow moving traffic. so, as usual, ian slept in the car. we reach the hotel around 3pm. ian nap for more than 1 hour. wake him up when we are there. his sleeping time really being messed up. we actually plan to take a nap together with ian in the hotel when we reach. will only go out after that. no choice but to change the plan. ian will never get to nap. too bad, we can't take a rest.

room 416... that's ian's first hotel room stay. his reaction is cute when we bring him to the room. i put him to walk into the room from the door. he walk to the bed and pat pat on the bed. i put him on the bed and he move to the edge of the bed where there are pillows lying. he lean his back on the pillows with his hands on them. haha.. really cute. this happen each time we let him walk into the room. these are some shots taken.



(look at how relaxing he is...)


(the best mama could get... another family photo...)

we visit the pool as we intend to let ian have his first swim in the pool. papa feel hungry but too bad no food for us. unlike we use to be, we will always prepare lots of junks for us. but this round, only ian's food. that's the different after having ian. strange... we cross the busy road to tapau some food from the mamak shop opposite the hotel.

it have been a practise that i will let ian poo after his evening milk feed. so i put him to poo at the toilet bowl. i actually sit with him. sit at his back holding him. he is not happy sitting on the toilet bowl. he eventually did not poo. lucky that he did poo in the morning at home.

we let ian shower with papa. hmm.. he looks a bit uncomfortable but still ok. we both a bit messy with the bath but still ok. ian looks cute but too bad that we can't take any photo. hehe.. bet you know why. "shower with papa"... he is a bit hyper after the shower. shaking. really don't know whether he is shivering or hyper. might be shivering because is cold. i quickly dress him up to keep him warm just in case he is really shivering.

we went out for dinner at tgif, pavillon. met a cute little ang mo girl age 2 (according to her mum). she is really cute with the way she feed herself - bread, fries (even dip sauce), spaghetti, etc. she is also demanding asking for food from her mum. really cute. we tried to feed ian fries. i let him hold but he refuse to. we also feed him chicken and chocolate cake. we got a tgif balloon for ian. a white one.


(some shot taken at tgif, pavillon...)

then, we went shopping at isetan, lot 10. ian slept on the way from pavillon to lot 10. he even continue to sleep when i carry him to his stroller. bet you can tell how tired he is. since his last nap till 3pm to 8pm. we bought an orange shirt for papa to match with ian's orange shirt that we plan to wear on the day we go to singapore. we also bought some baby kiko t-shirts for ian. we have been buying too much age 2 clothing for ian. this round we start to buy a bit more advance. some age 3 clothing. hehe.. just a t-shirt and a pants. mama also bought a pants. sad that mama no longer can fit into a s-size pants. have to go for a m-size pants. my hip expanded after giving birth to ian. ya! we even bought a float for ian for his first swim at the pool.

silly mama... why? what happen? papa has isetan member card. so, we are entitle for first 4 hours free parking. mama took the parking coupon to redeem the free parking. mama just notice there is an additional bar code at the coupon when the attendant hand me back the coupon but i did not further ask for instruction. we slot the coupon into the autopay machine. it ask for payment of rm7. har? so expensive. we thought is 4 hours free and we definitely havn't reach that yet. but we just pay. while driving out, papa thought of the posibility that we do not need to slot the coupon into the autopay machine anymore. we can just exit with the coupon. since there already have another bar code. but how silly is the machine. should have note the additional bar code and should not ask for payment. silly...

no chair to put ian on for his night cereal feed. mama become the chair. locking him with my leg. hehe.. looks fine anyway.. ian is too hyper due to the short nap just now. he just can't get to sleep. again, papa is the one that put ian to sleep. mama slept first. having headache since afternoon.

we did not set any alarm. let it be natural. mama woke up first, around 8am. then papa after mama is done. eventually ian. ian really don't like sitting on the toilet bowl. again he refuse to poo. but nevermind. not that he always poo in the morning. so, we just let him be. papa suggest that may be we can buy a potty in singapore. we shall see how. then, ian have his second bath with papa. we note that we need to think about issue with ian's poo and bath.

gave ian 3oz of milk (usual, 5oz). we plan to feed him chicken porridge. we going to have chicken porridge at the hawker center at petaling street. a place we often went in our old days. we ordered a plain porridge only with chicken for ian. we keep some in the thermos for his lunch. found that is hard for ian to chew the chicken. take him so long to chew. is also hard for me to feed him. i feed ian while carrying him on my lap (no baby chair) while papa eat first. after that, we took a walk around petaling street.


(photo taken on our way back from petaling street to hotel to check-out. look at his moody face...)

while we are busy packing to leave, this is how we put ian on the bed. he is enjoying... guess what? he actually keep changing the tv channel using the remote control... hehe...



then, we check-out. no swim. no first swim yet. let's see whether there will be any first swim in singapore. we left the hotel and head to mid-valley for our regular shop for food. everything went well except for something happen (not going to mention...). we ended up no mood to shop. isetan actually has sales and we had planned to shop there. might manage to get some goodies like yesterday night. so, we just did a quick shop of ian's food, feed ian (did not feed ian much of the chicken. only pick some small pieces to feed. find it hard for him to chew those big ones) and we left. we tapau our food from subang on our way back.

there are tones of things to do. really tired. too bad, mama did not get to rest. but these are all predicted. could be over tired or not used to the stay in hotel, i eventually fall sick for few days. it could also due to the weather and also i did not drink enough of water. what i planned when we go to singapore is i will take my vitamin c once in the morning and once at night. hopefully will help to prevent me from getting sick after the trip. each time when i sick i really worry that ian will catch it. also must, must... really, really... drink enough of water.

papa ask me not to cook ian's dinner. let him have those baby can food as a trial. that's what we plan to give him in singapore. ian looks ok with it. so, now our plan when we are in singapore will be:

  • breakfast - 3oz milk + buffet breakfast

  • lunch - 3oz milk + cereal

  • tea time - as usual, 5oz milk

  • dinner - baby can food + whatever we having for dinner

  • supper - as usual, rice cereal


    it is definitely a good try or experience. at least we get to learn and get more prepared. ohh.. actually i did forget to pack some things for this trial. i quickly get them jot down so that i won't forget for the actual trip to singapore.
