Cheap Mummy Poko

Posted by Everyday Healy on April 5, 2008

Yesterday, mummy went shopping at Tesco. Tesco is quite far away from our house. However, every time Elizabeth’s “Mamy Poko Pants” finished, mummy will surely look for it at Tesco.

I am sure everyone knows that some of the things in Tesco are really cheap. “Mamy Poko Pants” is one of it. The usual price for “Mamy Poko” at Guardian, Giant, Pakson, Cold Storage or shall I said most of the convenient stores, supermarkets or hypermarkets is about RM 21.90 for the XL size 12 pieces pack. But, Tesco is only selling at RM 16.40 each.

What a big difference, isn’t it? Thus, mummy will always buy “Mamy Poko Pants” from Tesco. Mummy will buy at least 4 packs at one time. Sometimes, mummy even buy up to 6 packs.


This time mummy bought 5 as that’s what all left on the rack. hehe…

Anyway, don’t buy the large pack. Most of the time, the large pack is much expensive than the small pack at Tesco.

Granny No No No…

Posted by Everyday Healy on March 20, 2008

Granny just cut my hair few days ago.

“Oh, Granny! Are you sure you can do it?”

I guess Elizabeth must be so scared when granny trying to cut her hair. She seems know that scissors can cut. So, She stood quietly like freezing while granny placed the scissors by her hair.

Then, she signaled her granny “No No No” as usual using her little fingers after granny take the scissors off her head. I think she is trying to tell her granny not to cut her hair. hahahaha……. (That’s what granny told mummy)

Clever, aye? Mummy just don’t have to worry that she might struggle and get herself injured next time when mummy send her to the barber. However, mummy actually don’t agree on cutting her hair now as they are still very short. Daddy has the same opinion too.

So, granny cut Elizabeth’s hair without informing mummy. That’s naughty! Granny insisted little Elizabeth’s hair will look thicker by just cutting the hair a little bit shorter and make it like the bob style. So, What is the outcome? Is that true?

“Overall, if we cut the baby’s hair a little bit shorter or at least make the hair end at the same length, it will automatically look thicker.” True or Myth? True.

I have to admit that now her hair looks very neat. But, I just can’t shape it into so many styles like before, just like the one below. 😆

Oh! Suddenly my head feels cool. hahaha……

Cheap but lovely

Posted by Everyday Healy on February 1, 2008

Mummy is quite particular about little lizzy’s clothings actually. Even the shirts and pants she wears at home, mummy try to look for cute ones too.

What do you think about these pants and shirts? Cute? Lovely? Mummy keep them for CNY. As the weather is so hot here, little Lizzy might need some sleeves less and shorts too.

Mummy was attracted by the poker dots pants immediately she saw it. Thus, she bought 2. In fact, she wants to buy all the 2 colors but she can’t find the right size for the yellow one. The pink is unique too. It’s like a dress but it’s short. So, it’s such a cute shirts! :)

It’s not easy to get the size we want when we are looking for it in a big pool of baby clothes. I guess you already get it. I bought all of these shirts and pants during carnival sales. And, these are the grand sales items. Cheap but good enough just like the cheap hotel Las Vegas.

I think that’s the reason why most mummy prefer to shop for kids wear during carnival sales. Agree? 😛

Her new dresses

Posted by Everyday Healy on January 30, 2008

Little Lizzy, your are going to celebrate the 2nd CNY after your birth. And, mummy is so excited as you learn to appreciate beautiful clothes these days. And, like varieties of food too. Thus, mummy hope you can enjoy this CNY to the fullest.

Mummy started to buy new clothes for you about 3 months before CNY. By now, I think it’s time to stop buying. Mummy already collected 8 new dresses for you. At the same time, you still have quite a number of new pants and shirts for CNY. So… enough, ok? 😉

This is my favorite! It’s from the shop ” Flower Girl” in Penang Queensbay Mall. Simple and nice. Also because it looks almost the same as one of my toddler’s dress. 😛

Cute aye? Both are like “can can” dress. The white one with only tiny flowers at the top is from Poney.

Mummy will let Elizabeth wear the yellow one for the first day of CNY. Her smile can even appear to be sweeter once she’s wearing the bright and cheerful yellow. 😛

I bought the one which is full of tiny pink roses from a shop called “Studio Seven”. It has all kinds of English kids wear for little girls. Others are all from Penang GAMA Supermarket which I bought during special sales day. But, I can’t recall their brand names at all.

So, there are 7 here. And, here’s the last piece.

I prefer to shop for her all year long clothings during CNY season. As this is the time all the shops will get in beautiful kids wear for sale. There are more varieties as most parents will spent more on kids wear during New Year.

Little English Dress

Posted by Everyday Healy on January 29, 2008

Mummy just came back from night market. Obviously, this small pink dress is from “pasar malam”. Little Elizabeth seems so happy to see it. Frankly, this little girl loves dresses. So ladies, aye? At the moment, she still can’t be considered “graceful”. Who knows may be one day she will. hehe…

Of course, this will be kept for CNY. This dress fits her nicely. Most importantly, it’s very cheap. Last week, Mummy bought the other English cotton dress for her. And, it costs RM 80 ( around USD 26). However, this one with almost the same material ( in fact, I prefer this material more as it’s slightly thinner. Just nice for our super hot weather) only cost mummy RM33 (USD 10). What a big difference, isn’t it?

That’s the reason why mummy likes to shop in night market. There is always cheap and good stuffs. 😛

Pajamas for CNY

Posted by Everyday Healy on January 25, 2008

Chinese New Year is around the corner. So, it’s time to “show off” Lizzy’s New clothes for CNY now! In fact, I have bought many new clothes for her. But, the old ones in the house told me that most important children should wear new pajamas for the might before new year and the night we pray to “Tian Gong”.

So, I quickly spare a few pieces of new pajamas for her.


Not because of the old believe. But, it’s a great excuse for me to shop for my little princess. 😆 I really loves to shop for her clothes. LOL!

Anyway, as you can see mummy likes yellow and orange so much! I find it looks more cheerful if kids put on clothings with these colors. Of course, it’s more suitable for CNY too. “Wong” (prosperity) mah! hehe…

And, baby always wear decent pajamas cause kids are meant to be decent. So girl, if you prefer bustiers, you can get it for yourself when you earn your money. Not from mummy! 😛

They are from Disneyland

Posted by Everyday Healy on January 22, 2008

I am kind of regret that I did not bring my girl along to Hong Kong Disneyland. I think it’s more for kids actually. Anyway, I have bought some toys and clothes from Disney for my girl. Since she likes Pooh, so I get her one “Pooh” and one “Ratatouille”. And, it’s all in yellow. Why? It’s because Elizabeth looks quite dark when she puts on anything pink. Also because she looks nice in yellow. 😛

Of course, mummy is search high and low for something white base. And, here you go…

What do you think about this, little Lizzy? It’s a sweet shirt, isn’t it? 😉

That’s all the shirts mummy bought from Disney. Now there is a problem. Only the white one can fit Elizabeth now. Those 2 yellow shirts will be left aside until she is much bigger. May be around 3? OMG! Mummy always buy something too big. :roll:

Mummy:”I thought as long as it’s not white, we can keep as long as we want, isn’t it?” Only white cloth can turn yellowish after we keep it for sometime without washing it. 😆

Do you miss me?

Posted by Everyday Healy on December 21, 2007

I am sick for the past few days. So no mood to play. However, I start cruising around the house now. And, mummy is not going miss all the wonderful moments during my birthday party. I guess she busy with blogging again.

She is going to show you something I am good at now.

It’s Kissing. Since my birthday, I kiss my cousins, my grandma, my mum, my dad, my uncle and even “Pooh Pooh”. This new “Winne The Pooh” bag is my favorite birthday present. It’s from my “GuGu” — Uncle Bill. He seems know me well. I like it so much! Thus, I kiss and kiss… and kiss it non stop.

Also, this is the first gift he bought using his own hard earn money. He works for 3 days standing in the Shopping Mall as a sales representative before my birthday. And, this gift was bought with his salary. Mummy is proud of him.

These days I always kiss my teddy bears and “Patrick” the dog too. 😛

Besides, dad and mum enjoyed I kiss them good night. Anyone here want a kiss from little Elizabeth too? It’s never too far away as Elizabeth can send flying kisses now. 😉

I like my Baby sunglass

Posted by Everyday Healy on November 28, 2007

Oh, yeah! Look at this girl in pink! This is exactly my chicky baby. 😛

As you can see, she enjoyed walking around to showcase her sunglass. This is quite a good sunglass that I only get it for RM5 in the night market near my house. Its plastic is kind of soft and flexible. Hardly break. In fact, it should be considered unbreakable as it’s still fine when it got twisted. Perfect for kids use. And, it’s really tiny. Thus, fit’s my girls face well. 😛

Actually, I bought it quite some time ago. At first, we adults are the one who get excited with this sunglass. Always wanted to put it on for her. And, she will took it off immediately. She prefer to let us wear it. She really just enjoy take it off from us at that moment. But, as we praise her when we put it on her. She finally likes it. And now, she understands that’s hers. Whenever she asked for my sunglass, I will give her hers. She can accept that, but sometimes she just want to play with both. LOL! Naughty Elizabethl! :roll:

For Her 1st Birthday

Posted by Everyday Healy on November 26, 2007

White is always my favorite color for clothing. And, look what I’ve chose for my girl — a beautiful white princess dress for her 1st birthday. I think she will certainly looks gorgeous in this dress.  And, it’s best if she likes hair band. However, I am sure she will take it off as soon as I put it on her head, just like what she did to her hat. :roll:

Thus, I am still looking for the right accessory for her to go with this beautiful dress. As I search around, I had fell in love with a beautiful silver jewellery online. It’s kind of dainty. This child’s’ silver bracelet with single coin pearl has showed its simplicity at its best. I think this fantastic designer jewellery will match her dress well. I wonder if she likes it too?

Posted by Everyday Healy on November 6, 2007

Since my one and only fever experience, mum getting worried about me getting cold sometimes. So, she keep searching for baby jacket. She saw many. But, she still think it’s not something for me. (Yeah… she is always very particular when choosing my clothes.) Thus… she just keep looking for the right one.

And… taadaa…

Here it is. my 2 in 1 baby jacket. Yes! This is a jacket which I can wear both sides. So, instead of one, I got two jackets now! Sometimes just plain pink; Sometimes pink in stripes. Fun, aye? Nice?

It’s from Mothercare. Mum’s favorite. Many of my shirts, socks and tights are from Mothercare. Mum says, they are lovely, durable and stretchable. 😛

No Rubber Clogs on Escalators

Posted by Everyday Healy on September 20, 2007

Like this shoes? I just bought it about a month ago from Tree House, Penang. It is so cute and Elizabeth really look so “baby like” when she put it on. I love this design so much. Soft Homemade leader like baby flog. Does this look familiar to you? However, this pair of shoes has no crocodile mark on it. Anyway, the design is still quite similar with that famous rubber flog. Thus, I am quite worried… luckily Elizabeth can’t walk yet, so is still save for her.

I guess some mummies already know what am I worried about. If you still do not aware of the danger of wearing the famous rubber flog. You better wake up now, especially if you are still crazy over it. If you are Malaysian(only for Northern region), quickly grab today’s “The Star” newspaper and flip through it. You might see one big bold header stating CAP (Consumer Association of Penang) : Ban Rubber Clogs in the ‘Star Metro” section. If you are too lazy to pick up the newspaper or you are simply a Malaysian who live outside Northern Region or you might from other countries. Check this out, then you will know what I mean.

This is specially dedicated to all parents. Your dearest baby girl or boy, or even yourself might be wearing the wrong shoes which you might thought it is a great one. Be caution as you might seriously injured or lost your toes just by wearing a pair of highly praised rubber clog.

Crocs + escalators = entrapments

This is what I found out from TheStar.com, ( remember to click into it and see the full detail)

“According to reports appearing across the United States and as far away as Singapore and Japan, entrapments occur because of two of the biggest selling points of shoes like Crocs: their flexibility and grip. Some report the shoes get caught in the “teeth” at the bottom or top of the escalator, or in the crack between the steps and the side of the escalator.”

“Washington Metro’s Lacosse and other escalator experts say the best way to prevent shoe entrapments is to face the direction the stairs are moving, keep feet away from the sides and step over the teeth at the end.”

I might continue to make some updates regarding this topic if there are other serious incidents occurs. Hope you parents always got the right shoes for your dearest little ones.

Have a nice day!
