Take charge of your life!

Hi folks, you know how important our health is to us. Even if we have tonnes of money we will not be able to enjoy it if we are not healthy right. Anyway, what I'm going to introduce here is not merely for sales purposes but mainly for the benefits that this health drink brings. I can tell you that this products is good especially after looking at the positive health effects it gives to my MIL, my mom and a few other people that I know after taking it.

The effect on MIL is pretty obvious as I can see her face more fresh and lively. She has more energy as she didn't feel tired even after 3 rounds of non-stop brisk walking at the sport complex yesterday. And she has no more sleeping problem and her arthritis has improved tremendously. My mum who is super sceptical when it comes to this kinda thing is actually taking it religiously everyday and she finds that she has more energy too. My dad is taking it because I wanted him to get well faster especially after the operation (of cause to help him with his hypertension etc too) as this health drink promotes fast healing too. Hence, I am introducing eXfuze to you mainly due to its health benefits and I believe you will definitely benefit from it.

FYI, this product is not even launched in Malaysia but it is selling like hot cakes already. So that I supposed proves how good and well received it is.

If you're wondering what are the benefits it can bring, read about it from the image below:

Here's the unofficial eXfuze website in Sabah. You can read more about the products and the benefits of each different super fruits i.e. Gac, Acai, Goji, Noni, Fucoidan, Mangosteen and Seabuckthorn – along with Pomegranate, Wild Blueberries, Aloe Vera and Concord Grapes from this site (just click the images on the left side bar).

Should you want to purchase this health product and feel more comfortable asking from me, feel free to contact me as me and hubby are both members for our own consumption :) And if you're interested but you're not from Sabah and you're not sure who to contact in West Malaysia, I believe we can provide you the contacts from our network :) So folks, take charge of your life by looking after your health! ;p

The preps

I didn't spend much preparation time for Ethan's birthday as we have already planned to have it at one of the halal Chinese restaurants in KK. Hence not much preparations were required. Nevertheless, two weeks to Ethan's birthday, both hubby and myself discussed about the venue for the party. We short listed the venue to 3 i.e. Dowish Seafood Restaurant, Golf View Restaurant (near Tong Hing) and Masakan Sedap Restaurant. After looking at their menu, price and venue we eventually picked Masakan Sedap Restaurant as we feel the price and food is reasonable. On top of that it has strategic location being quite in the centre for most of our invitees and parking is not a problem. Besides I heard the service is good too and after seeing the function room and talking to the lady boss we made our mind up ;p

Next I thought about the theme... Well, I didn't intend to impose the theme on the invitees but rather more for the cake :) And since Ethan is so into Mickey Mouse, I've decided to ask Deana (she baked Ethan's 1st birthday cake too..)to bake and decorate him a Mickey Mouse cake :) I did a search on the net just to get some Mickey Mouse birthday cake ideas which I stumbled and decided to go for this design and asked Deana if she could do a replica for me which she said yes :) Next, I was contemplating whether to prepare goodie bags for the kids or simply give away cupcakes. In the end I've decided to go for a Mickey Mouse cuppies and ordered them from Deana too. It's much simpler and easier for lazy ol' me as I won't need to hunt for the goodies and bags and no packing is needed too ;p And as usual it is a common practice or a tradition to have red birthday eggs during birthday celebrations. I however dislike the thought of using colorings thus I've decided to use decorated aluminium foil to wrap the eggs after stumbling upon this Mickey/Minnie Mouse aluminium foils from this online shop while looking at some cookies mould/cutters. And finally as I wanted to distinguish the birthday boy and the main table from the rest, I've asked my friend Jurra to put embroidery wordings on his plain top and decided to tie a helium Mickey Mouse aluminium balloon on our main table ;p So what do you think of the outcomes? Am I allowed to say its simple but not too bad? ;p

Look at the absolutely cutely decorated cake and cupcakes...I was delighted indeed! ;p

Top view

One happy lil' customer indeed! He cried and said "no, no, no" and tried to push the waitress from cutting the cake for distribution! That's how much he loved the cake Deana!! hahaha...

Oh talking about the cake, lil' princess of Sandra i.e. Maya, didn't want to budge at all from her seat coz Sandra said she is afraid the cake and the limited purple Minnie Mouse cupcakes will dissapear!! So kudos to you Deana for a job well done!! And oh did I mentioned that the kids were so eager and rushed to the front when I invited them!!?? hahaha...They must have loved and really impressed with your cake and cuppies Deana...not only the kids but the parents too :)

Oh I added the Mickey Mouse "thank you" note on the cuppies :)

The birthday eggs :)
The back says, "Ethan's is 2 today!"

And the front says, "Birthday Boy!!"
His helium Mickey Mouse baloon was a hit too...the other children were playing with it till it got untied and stucked on the ceiling. Luckily one of the waiters was kind enough to help bring it down and tied it back on the chair ;p

Ethan's 2nd birthday bash

To mark Ethan's 2nd birthday, we threw a party for our precious lil' Ethan. We celebrated his special day with our immediate family members, some relatives as well as some close friends and colleagues. We honestly wished we could invite more people but due to budget constraint we will have to fulfill that desire another time ;p Anyway, here is the video taken (thanks to Ulai!) during the birthday song and birthday cake cutting session :) I'll blog more about his birthday party and share some photos later on okay ;p

The kids were pretty eager and rushed to the front when I announced and invited them for this session...must be due to the mighty cute Mickey Mouse Clubhouse cake design and not forgetting the Mickey Mouse cuppies (thanks to Deana)which they have been eyeing and waiting to get hold of hehehe...you'll notice I have many helpers while cutting the cake hahaha..

Happy 2nd Birthday Ethan!!

We look back in time, tiny and very innocent

Seeing the world through your eyes

Memories we hold safe in our heart

To sometimes unwrap with a smile and the comfort of a sigh

Now our dearest and most precious lil' baby is growing up,

And a mighty cute and lovable lil' boy you have become :)

Happy 2nd birthday Ethan!!

We love you with all our hearts and unconditionally!!

Hugs and kisses from Mummy & Daddy

The aftermath

I wanted to post this entry much earlier but I haven't got the chance nor the time to do so...Anyway, this is what happened after selling my pre-loved cds - I went CDs shopping spreee weeee.... hehehe...so what have I bought for the past few months? Well here they are ;p

This is a special project with Chin Nee from Mamapatch. I'm one of the 12 mommies who bought the OS fitted at a special price to test out its quality in terms of material used as well as its function and fittings...pssttt see that cute wipe...I got it free from ChinNee ;p

OS cds - Mummy's Touch and Happy Heiny's cds from MumnBaby

Bunnyfeet Boutique OS cd covers, Baby Kanga OS cd and Chunki OS fitted all from Tiny Tapir

Planet wise wet bag and Haute OS Pocket from one of the US cd sellers...I totally forgotten from where hehee...

I've also bought a few inserts such as the GAD OS hemp inserts, RAR micro fibre and hemp inserts, NCD OS bamboo inserts and micro chamois fleece liners. And yes, I went broke ;p

Lil' E turned camera shy?

I've just noticed this new attitude of Ethan last week after hubby told me about Ethan's new behaviour...he seems to have shied away or rather dislike his photos to be taken by me lately...Probably due to the fact that I've not been taking his pictures as often as before for the past few months... thus probably he is not accustom to the idea of his pics being taken again and again by his paparazzi-like mommy anymore ;p Maybe I should start taking more pictures of him again ;p

Here are some pictures of him trying to hide his face from the camera heee...

'tis was the first time I notice him trying to avoid the camera thanks to hubby's alertness ;p

See the hand ;p

Notice the hand again...
Finally he managed to hide almost all of his face ;p
