Best Mom Award

Got this wonderful award from Shirley who is a great & fabulous mom to her soon turning 2 years old sweet Anniesen :)



My best mum experience was a few hours after giving birth to my precious Ethan. It was just after I've woken up from the anaesthetic effect due to a last minute emergency c-section ;p Ethan was actually asleep when the nurse first brought him to me but he opened one of his eyes when I called out his name... as if he knew his name even at about 3 hours old ;p I just can't describe the feeling that I had at that moment when he opened his eyes and looked at me...I just melt and was just so extremely happy to see my then tiny lil' baby (he was 2.8kg) and straight away gave him a loving kiss...I will never forget that moment as it gives me a warm happy feeling even writing about it now. Ethan is our precious little treasure ...always is and always will and we love him unconditionally with all our hearts :)

The rules:
1. Show the award logo in your post.
2. Pick a picture you have with your kiddo(s).
3. Post should include your best experience as a Mom.
4. Nominate other blogger mom's out there that you consider the best mom, like yourself.

I shall now pass on the meaningful awards to two other supermoms i.e.both my SILs Lisa and Jasica :)

No water supply tomorrow (18th Feb)

UPDATES:
My apology as the notice was supposed to be "Water Supply Disruption" whereby the water supply will be reduced by 35% in most areas. Affected areas include KK, Kepayan, Kinarut, Petagas, Putatan, Penampang, Likas, Karamunsing, Tg. Aru, Inanam and Kelombong. Certain areas may however experience complete disruption of water supply.

I saw the "No water supply" notice from the management (extracted from the Water Department) at my apartment this morning. So if you don't already know, make sure you stock up some water supply that will last you and your family till 9pm tomorrow. I know for sure that my area in Kepayan, Kelombong (PIL's) and Likas (work place) will definately have no water supply from the morning till 9pm. But if I'm not mistaken there are a few more areas that are affected too.. So to be safe, just stock up some water tonite ;p Hmmmm...tht reminds me I should do my "white" laundry tonite to avoid the muddy looking dirt on the cleaned laundry especially when the water supply just comes on back...

Cancer warning for talcum powder

I've read and heard about talcum powder not good for babies (that was why I never use talcum powder on Ethan...) but I didn't know that it could cause ovarian cancer....so ladies and mommies do read on and pass the info around...

Cancer Warning for Talcum Powder

GEORGE TOWN: Be careful the next time you sprinkle yourself with talcum powder or inhale it as it has been found to cause cancers and tumours, said the Consumers’ Association of Penang (CAP).

Magnesium silicate hydroxide, also commonly known as talc, is the main ingredient in baby, medicated and designer perfumed body powder.

CAP president S.M. Mohamed Idris said the latest findings from the United States suggested that women who used talcum powder were 40% more likely to suffer from ovarian cancer.
“Talc particles are capable of moving up the reproductive system and becoming embedded in the ovary lining.

“Researchers have found talc particles in ovarian tumour and they have also discovered that women with ovarian cancer used talcum powder on their genitals more frequently than healthy women,” he told a press conference at the CAP headquarters here Tuesday.

He said that researchers from Harvard Medical School in Boston studied over 3,000 women and found that those using talcum once a week had a 36% chance of getting ovarian cancer, while those using talcum daily had a 41% chance.

Talcum, Mohamed Idris added, was also a health risk when exposed to the lungs as the puffy white cloud of powder ended up being inhaled by babies.

“Talc can cause the baby’s airways to swell and lead to pneumonia, and has been linked to asthma in children. Statistics show that several thousands infants die or become seriously ill each year due to inhalation of baby powder,” he said.

He urged the Health Ministry to place a warning on products containing talc and to stop the marketing of baby powder containing talc.

“Consumers should revert to using the traditional ‘bedak sejuk,’ which is made of rice flour or powder made from corn flour,” he added.
