2 K Stewart cheats on Rob Pat. Not a surprise

Here is the bomb that US Magazine just published last Wednesday. Their movie saga is my favorite vampire love. I used to watched the first installment of Twilight repeatedly and even skipped to the best scenes only to speak along their lines. I can remembered most of their romantic pick-up lines! I know, i am that fan-natic.

No big deal, there were loads of suckers for Twilight and they were way crazier than me. They even write poetry about this couple downfall. Well, you might not surprised too with this entry because you've read it from somewhere else but, i just wanna share what summarises everything that we read from the news. If you have your opinion, you can post comments at the comments roll.

Back to the scandal. Wuuu...

Looks like their off screen love life is not as good as on screen like people used to see.




It is first reported by US Magazine when they leaked steamy photos of makeout sessions of Kristen and her director from Snow White and The Huntsman, Rupert Sanders. Following this, a rather embarassing story of Kristen, she went for apologising about that scandal and for the first time proffessing her love towards Rob Pat. Well, he might had known about the infidelity long before the US magazine found out about it.


The next day, Rupert Sanders also did the same to her wife and family. Poor Liberty Ross, wife of Rupert, and two children whom they shared after 7 years marriage. She is a model for UK Vogue. Her last line on twitter before closing her account was simply, "wow". Isn't she cool. No b***** lines thrown okay.



Looking back on June, in an interview with Elle magazine, Kristen has said that she wished for something crazy to happen to her. It is like she had been expecting the scandal to be out and purposedly wanted to crushed everything into pieces and everyone's heart. She knows how big deal is she and Rob Pat is to the fans.


What can we rationalised from this scandal? From her statement before the scandal was out, could it be like she might be purposedly leaked the photo to the press? Or could it be she purposedly started out a scandal without thinking the overall consequences? Is the scandal true? Sorry to break the fans' heart, it appears to be true for now. If it's not, why the actress and the director go such a fuss to make public apologise? She could admit to this infidelity but it takes years for her to admit that she is in a relationship with her co star in Twilight.

Well, let's see from the bright side. On 2011, there were some friends of Rob Pat thought that Kristen will break his heart because they thought that Kristen does not love Rob as much as he does to her. Well from the press conference, she said, ..."i love him. I love him. I am really sorry." there! Truth is she loves him. That's kinda too late by the way, don't you think? Well, let's hope it works finally.


She might wish that this craziness will fall on her. It might be just random flirts that gone wrong. Then, suddenly the photos was leaked. Another question arise? Is it maybe Rob Pat let it leaked to teach her a lesson? They were seen fighting on the backstage of Teen Choice Awards just days before the photos leaked.

What i really don't understand is, (which was quoted from Rob Pat too few years ago on an interview) "i don't understand why people cheats on their relationship." He is clearly is heartbroken but come on, what relationship is without any hardship. Kristen said everything comes too easy for her that she hopes for something crazy to f****** happen to her. It is happening now, Kristen. Your wish is coming true. Another irony is that she ever said that she never wanted to be like Angie Jolie, a celebrity but just wanna be an actor. Confusing isn't it? When i read these quotes from her from the People.com, i was like, what? She has become one, and probably the bad one when the news of cheating went public. Don't worry, it is just this bad for the first week. People will accept what you did, and maybe will forget once other stories coming out. Come on, she knew better than us. It is Hollywood. Or is she merely throwing good act on that make out photos as to prove that she is one of hell good actress?

Crazy! Just be careful of what you wished for.

0 Braided Up Do with Buns at the Back

So i come up to the Birchbox.com site and found a tutorial on how to do the braided up do with buns at the back. It says there that this style is going to sweep out the topknot style (which i hadn't done yet in  a proper and recordable worthy) for now.

 I come up with my version of black hair, since the tutorial show a blonde hair done. I also adds some accesories on my hair too. 

It is so easy to secure the bun with this. Or if one doesn't have this , fret not, you can always secure the bun with booby pins too. This accesories , i donno what to call of this but i just love it to secure just any style of buns i do either it's on the top back , middle or lower back of the head, it is so easy with this. 

Here's how my version looked.

 I wear this hair to work today and people just love it. This style does not only can be brought to work  but, also to party, dinner or just chilling around. It really keeps your hair away from the face. But remember to let loose some of the flyaways or babyhair to keep the overall style looked relaxed. 

You can try to do this on your own too by visiting http://www.birchbox.com/video/how-to-braided-up-do/ and do check out more of hair styles from the Birchbox.com hair board web site.

0 Sunday , I Heart

This Sunday is the most beautiful day of the week. What else can be more beautiful than spending time with my boys? 

Introductions by mommy, peace out! V

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Mommy (this is what i call myself when im around my son, ok). Mommy thinks she's the older version of Blair Waldorf of Gossip Girl. Adore her style so much!

 I love this body hugging mini skirt so much and the chiffon ruffled top really feel comfy on a sunny day.  I had matching shoes from Reflexology Bata shoes , and Hermes handbag with ever contrasting color. Ditch that 'eww, they don't match, 'yell. I don't care, i rarely matched my handbag with my outfits and all. One thing i hate is my bulging tummy looked ridiculously obvious. It 's like one can see through  my spare tyres behind the the purple fabric! Damn.

Looking polished over there, Steven.. And i just love seeing my little son in action with his Batman Forever t-shirt that i bought from Greenhills in Manila, Phillipines.

These smiles melts my heart, makes my day.

My 10 months old son is learning the basic of playing football. Walking it is.

To end the Sunday and get prepared for Monday blues, blog about weekend after my little son is down to sleep. Purr-fect! 

How about you? How do you spend your weekend? 

0 Tower Cafe with Exclusive 'Rain'

Okay, since the last prayer in church today suddenly i was attacked with the craving of Kota Belud noodle soup. I had lost track of time of how long has it been since i had this noodle soup. I am back to this cowboy town every weekend to fill my son's with love but i rarely visit the stall of noodle soup.



What's with this noodle soup from Kota Belud? Well, the noodles are homemade and i say this town has the most delicious noodle i ever ate. So, if any of you reading this entry will be visiting this town in Sabah, stop by at any stall by the Pasar Tani or Dewan Tun Said Keruak and feast your tongue with it at a very affordable price.


Well, since many of the locals especially the Dusun and Sino (Dusun mixed Chinese) had mastered the skills on making this amazing noodle, they even started to open stalls at the suburbans, mostly at the Ranau Bypass Road serve this menu.

Basically, this menu falls into two kinds of serving method, the usual one served in a bowl (your preffered size;big and small though actually make very tiny difference in amount) together with hot soup, the steamed chicken flesh and vegie. Or 'kan lou mee' in which the noodle was mixed with creamy soy ketchup while the steamed chicken and all was served in a separate bowl of hot soup. Hmmm, just typing this on makes me drool over it. Hahaha...nyummm!



Must feast with crunchy fried red onions and add chillies and whatever extra ingredients that you feel like wanna add on. All ready on the table. Moslems must takes note that this might not be halal. Since there are stalls that would replace the chicken with 'char sau' or pork according to customers's demands. However, there are also stalls that will not serve pork but i cannot guarantee that the preparations  were done the halal way.

Whew, that's a long introductions for a noodle soup. Well, i went to this stall or should i say restaurant, Tower Cafe in Rangalau to satisfy my cravings with Steven, my little son, mom, and my sister after church. When we were slurping on the creamy 'kan lou mee' , suddenly there was a very familiar sounds coming from the roof. Sounds of raindrops in the mid sunny afternoon.

The Tower Cafe just passed the Rangalau Bridge

It was all sunny outside, yes we can see that because the restaurant is open air one. We were kind of wondering and start to ask questions to each other what the hell of that sound about and i don't really remember who threw the stupid joke, maybe it is raining but only in this very zone. Right after that, we saw raindrops falling from the roof and we were like looking around the restaurant, noticed that the vehicle parked around did not have any drops of water on them and the glass window only flares more sunshine.

Steven was the one who finally broke the confusions, "oh it's the water sprinkler. They wet the roof so that the dining area won't feel that hot during the day". Make sense. The waitress and loyal diners must feel funny looking at our reactions when first hearing the raindrops in the hot sunny afternoon.

The water sprinkler above the roof. You often see this sprinkler to keep the grass green at your backyard but, this one done for the roof!

The restaurant has two sprinklers which 'rains' the roof occasionally to keep the roof cooled. Very creative solutions to hot weather. No wonder even without the ceiling, with bare roof zinc it felt so relatively damn airy and cool to the hot afternoon.

As you can see, the cafe has no ceiling on. Usually a premise like this will feel very hot inside during hot afternoon but this one, certainly aren't.

We continued to slurp until last strings of noodles but while that, we kept on praising the owner for that inventions.

"never saw one rains their roof to cool off the premise".

"it really works, felt cool. adds more credits to the already tidy and clean yards of the restaurants".

"...they have to 'rain' it every certain period which is very convenient for them because they can just pump up water from the river behind the restaurant."


"unique place with the very usual and humble noodle soup......"

Truly a place for just chilling on Sunday. Definitely a place worth called as 'our' place with Steven. 

A lounging area. 

Okay, readers who originally from this town that might ever went to this cafe may find that it is not outrageous at all. But hey, do you ever went to a place with hot weather like Malaysia that uses this kind of principle to cool their premises instead of using aircond? Share it!

0 Feeding Schedules for Baby

It is only right to post this entry after sharing my experiences and to do's when weaning baby from breastfeeding. By the way, my baby is 10 months old now and is fully on formula and eating solid food ranges from rice to fish and chicken.

His feeding schedule for a day is like;

4-8 months : 4-5ounces for 7 times a day.
8 months -now : 5-6 ounces for 6 -7 times a day.

Time : 9 a.m. , 12 p.m. , 3p.m. , 6.30 p.m. , 9 p.m. Nightime feeding : on demand. There were times he did not drink at all and sleep through the night. Usually he would want it until twice a night.

Take note, this schedule only applied when he is on formula. All directions on preparing the milk must be followed accordingly  or the formula won't work as it says it does. There is reasons why it was named by formula milk.

When my son was still breastfeeding, he would be nursed on demand or every two hours. The midwives advised that it is important  as breastmilk is easily digested by baby's tummy. whoaa, no wonder he will pooped after nursing sessions.

My son, Chris weighing 8.1kg with height, 70 cm at 10 months old.

My son had been introduced with solid food since he was 5 months old but only once a day. I waited until he would  really open his mouth when the spoon is pointed to his mouth and starting to chew off food before increasing the number of mealtimes a day. When he reached 7 months old, his mealtime turns to twice a day, one in the morning, another one in the evening. 7.30 a.m. and 4-5 p.m.  respectively until now.

He could ate about a bowl of rice porridge mixed with vegies and protein sources like fish fillet, chicken, anchovies, beancurd and so on. But , my son is no big eater like his parents. Haha! However, between mealtime and nursing, i would give him snack to chew on especially when the whole family is eating and he just finished his meal. He will appreciates it that he could eat with the whole big people in the house. Snacks for baby could includes, fruits like bananas and papayas, or baby biscuits. 

Baby also has his mood and winds. My son is now will get a hang on something if he found something i thought be a bond to him at a time. He would objects if you are trying to take him off from the thing that he gets the hang with at that particular time. How to break the bond for instance if he found the baby powder talc and bites it badly, distract him  with other things which is safer for him to play.

So does when it comes to mealtimes,  sometimes he would go  really ballistic everytime the spoon with food in pointed to his mouth. One has to face hard time even to feed solid food to the child especially if the baby is not a big eater. Usually i will try to sing for him the song, "If You're Happy" or just distracts him with weird sounds or any fancy colored cup to play with during the session. It always worked out well.
---->
But, one should never force her baby to eat if he is not willing to. Let the baby guides you how much he could eat or when he is ready to eat. Only then you can determined a routine for her to follow everyday. Chances are the baby might still full from milk, sleepy, has an uncomfortable stomach or simply want to play outside or down the floor. So, parents have to watch closely on when their baby is going to have her mealtimes. Baby could not be too hungry or too full too before the session or she could get grumpy.

Parents always have to remember that they should always try their best to follow a certain routine because babies like predictable and repeatable things. Therefore, no matter where you bring your baby either to her grandparents or other relatives, or when you are travelling with her, routine is best to be followed at all times to withhold senses of security in her.

For example that you should never skipped breakfast or dinner for her if he always had one.

I think that's it for tonight. To new mothers who happened to read this entry, happy feeding your baby. You are one awesome mother (smile).

0 Those Were Mommy Son's Hard Time Together

My husband , Steven has been telling me couple or three times that i post entry on weaning baby from breastfeeding. But, it come to me like i had no idea on how to type them on.  i guess i had not known how to start the entry until tonight. It feels pretty okay by the way, at least if i forgot how to wean my next baby, i would simply browse to this entry. Maybe, in few years ahead.

Okay, here we go.  Mommas story. It has been long time i guess i did not do mommahood entry. Not that i am any expert in this or better mom than others but, i am simply sharing my experiences and I believe every mother knows what best for their babies.

I am telling you though my son is happy and healthy now with his formula, sometimes i still feel sorry of not being able to fully breastfed him. But mom always said to me that if i don't wean him at that time, it will be hard for him if i had to go to work far from home. It is actually not impossible by the way, but my situation wouldn't allow me to nurse him longer. Mom might not understand by that time how badly i want to bond with my son, but she has a point there.
My son was fully breastfed until he was only  exactly 4 months old and before he reached that, i gradually trained him to wean with bottle. Both of us having hard time during the training. I seriously thought that my son would've hate me for that. 


But, nope. He doesn't. He still wants to be hold and kissed and be pretend-belly-eaten by me after missing in his eyes for four nights in  a week. I really, really, thank God i have such lovely and beautiful son. I mean, he knows i am his mom! This fact enough to make me the happiest mom in the world. 

The training was not done in two to three days only but a month! But it was not necessarily done in every feeding session during the day but the important thing is your baby did experience the weaning with bottle. They might forget it once they get to nurse from the mother,  but if everyday given in specific  time of the day daily constantly, they will know when they will have to wean with bottle and mother can increase numbers of weaning  a day from once to twice in two weeks, then thrice a day for the third week and gradually increase them more until they fully weaned   during the days.

But, only until I really left for work do i still breastfed him at night. Every two hours until he was 3 months  old he could sleep on until three hours and in particular good night he could sleep through until four hours. Of course , when i left for work my son went very ballistic and throwing tantrums at night crying to be nursed. Poor him and mom was the one to soothe him and wean him. I could never because i always give in to my son's demand. How could i not? And when i get back home during the first weekend after i get back to work, he still show interest to be nursed but, sometimes he cried too because he was confused with being nursed and weaned.

But the second weekend i had to hardened my heart not to nurse him anymore to avoid him from being confused anymore. It was just so hard seeing him crying either weaned or nursed like that. Fortunately, he adjusted well. But weaning story does not just stopped there, i had to be clear here. During the training i weaned him with breast milk and continued to do so but, after some time my breast milk ran low and that's when I had to find the right formula milk for him. The hunt begin with reading online the best formula one could have and other mothers' experiences. 

First attempt introducing formula. It is well formulated but my baby's digestion did not tolerate with these. Had to give it up on this one.

Mine, I started with formula that my niece took when she was babysitted by my mom years ago. Enfalac. Wow, my baby couldn't stop pooping every two hours and then. I read again and spent almost an hour in the baby formula department to choose the right one for my son.

www.babycenter.com.my

But of course, before hopping into stores,  I read online from babycenter.com all the nutrients that a good formula must have and their benefits. Then , it is easier for me to surf every formula out there. I was searching for formula with benefits  is almost similar or better enough if it could supply what breastmilk would supply and best supplies, the antibody.  Then i found one, Nestle NAN 1 Pro which has the probiotics that functions to fight diseases and allergens. In my opinions, doesn't matter what brand of formula are you giving, i am sure that every mother knows what best for her baby. The formulas will not be sold after all if it does harms infants. 

We should understand that every baby is different and their body's degree of tolerance to certain chemicals are different therefore, there might be formulas that is not quite good for your infants' health but is doing great to other infants. We'll never know. All a momma needs to do, is be patient and do your homework! Read and do your research.

Finally, the bottle itself. It might have the baby dislike the bottle but is okay with the milk. Since the training begin , i had been searching for bottle that is almost similar to the mother's nipple. Tommy Tippee, Fiffy nipple range, and finally I found the amazing Breastflow The First Years. My son had been wean with it until now and has never given him wind stomach and heartburn.

My baby loves these bottle. I discover it from my former colleague, Nikita.  It is suitable for baby who breastfeeding. It is said that babies do easily switched from breast to bottle when using this very bottle. The milk flow also really of the resemblance with breastflow. It does what it says in its name. Nipples are very soft and the milk will only go out if sucked or squeezed. 

No matter what, and no matter if I already stop nursing my son long ago, I am still holding the belief that breast milk is still the best for infants and should be continued until infant is two years old. But, those momma that unable to nurse their baby, feel no guilty. As long as your  baby is healthy and happy, you should not worry.

Thanks for stopping by.

0 Thank God It's Friday

Yeah, finally weekend is here. I am going back to my hometown just after i finished my class. 

I am about to cook my lunch before going to school. And what 's in my mind for my upcoming entry? Weaning schedules for mommies! How to wean baby from breastfeeding. I had been through the hard times before going back to work. Though breastfeeding could still be done when you are back to work but not all moms have enough supply to continue breastfeeding. Finding the right formula milk for your cutie is no easy task either. Been to the mall counter to change for other formula brand. This needs a lot of patience since babies also will be going hard times to adjust herself. Lots of screaming and tantrums.  I am just excited to be mommy (which i have been for only 10 months now) but, being a mommy is no easy breezy task, no kidding.

Unrelated photos for the entry. Never mind, let my face be the decoration of this entry. I really like the grey lenses that i had newly bought online from Dee Unique House.

This is like a sneak peek to the upcoming entry. Why in the hell i go through typing this entry? If i were to do in a draft, thing is if suddenly i got writer's block, i'll simply delete the draft post. Not cool. If i post this entry, it'll force me to complete the entry anyway. Haha! 

Weekend is here. No formal clothes. Hair let loose. Free your mind. Chill. Cheers. I haven't started yet,  because i still have to work my throat off for one class late in the evening today.

My focus of weekend, Christian Wylie.

Have  a great weekend, everybody. New young mommies, stay tune for my upcoming mommies' entry.

0 Grin Face: Manly Things I Just Knew Of

There are tonnes of things that both men and women should know of about each other. There are tonnes of things that only most men knew and there are too most known to women only.

Let's get to the point.

How many women knew how to check their cars' engine oil level? Water level? Change their tyres? Me, on the other hand, only after a year of owning a car did i learnt to do all of the above except the last one. I never experienced tyre complication though i am driving two hours to go back to my hometown every weekend. I admit i am lucky.

A Proton Persona engine, Campro 1.6 IAFM.
Source: driverviews.com

The thing is in Malaysia, if one is to get his driving license they have to attend a workshop on how to's maintain their car conditions to the optimum health. As well changing tyres. So how in the hell i get my driving license? It was arranged by my wise tutor. It was a sweet favor back then, but it certainly doesn't felt that way anymore once you own a car and you are clueless how to maintain it. I didn't even knew how to pump the tyres either! I learnt it from my husband and every now and then when i had to travel alone and forgot the how to's pump a tyre, i would call either my brother or my husband. Pathetic right.

So what's with me? I had been blogging about places, movies, relationships and people, beauty, now cars?

Awww, don't get me wrong. I am not trying to look like i am an expert in car now that i learnt a lot. Huh! I know, it is as if i had been taking some time off from blogging for almost two weeks now that i am back and change direction?! It is not like that. If one is patient enough with my ramblings, i am actually trying to explain why i did take time off. I always did if something happened.

Let me start, my car had been a little rascal nowadays. It had been overheated to 2/3 of the temperature gauge. It was likely that the car would jam anytime especially when going up a hill. It happened once to me after Christmas last year and enough to gimme a really badass hardtime.

Money flies to get a new radiator.

The problem arises again last week and i was in a lot of stress because i suspected that something really bad is going on with the car engine. The car cannot perform at its best, and felt heavy. Once the key is rotated to start the engine, the seat felt like shaking. When i switched off the car after a cruise the fan would still be spinning. When it comes to engine problem, one would know that there would be lots of notes flying off the purse to the cash machine of workshop counter.


But, a blessed day for me and i am thankful that the outlet agree to repair my car by claiming its warranty. The warranty for my car is for 2 years or 50 000 km mileage. Else , i will be paying 3-4k for the top overhaul. Thank you, God. Everything happened just in time.

I am just going to share tips that i obtained from mechanics that i asked around face to face and virtual mechanics on car overheating. Main reasons a car could overheat is;

1. Bad radiator cap. If the spring below the cap is not bouncing then it might not holding enough pressure to hold the heating coolant. 

2. Stuck thermostat. It is supposed to adjust the tempereature of the car. 

3. Leaks at the radiator. Can be detected if you could see pool of coolant on the floor where the car parked. 

4. Clogged radiator. If the radiator clogged with rust and dirts. Radiator should be cleaned profesionally at least once every three months. 

5. Faulty water pump. This could prevent the water from running throughout the cooling system. 

6. Bad cooling fan. The automatic one would be running once the temperature reaches operating temperatures or when the aircond is switched on. Mechanical one will be running all the time but it will run faster if the engine heats up. 

All of the above are the reasons of a car could overheat. If you still do not know how to see if your car is overheating, look at the temperature gauge when it hits 90 and above, then it could be overheating. If you let it be, it could reaches until maximum which is the red zone and that's when the car will stopped and the engine is jammed. The temperature could reversed but this is only indicates that the car will be anytime jammed, so pull over.  If you face this when you are driving, you should:

1. Turn off the aircond or heater or any blower. Open the window, if you don't want to be steamed off in the car. 

2. Slow down and park the car off the road. Do not force your car to go any further to prevent further parts damaged. 

3. Open the hood. But do not open the radiator cap or you'll get hurt with the steam bursting up from the radiator. Wait until 1 hour to cool off the engine back before pouring more water into the radiator and the water tank. The water is likely to be dried off or decreasing when a car overheated. If you open the radiator cap, wear your hand with cloth to avoid direct contact with your hand. 

4. If your car had been overheated to the red zone, it is better to call for help to tow your car to the quality mechanics. If it's not, after water added, you can drive it to the workshop without the aircond on. If it heats up too quickly again you 'd consider that the idea to drive it off is a bad idea. Pull over, then. Call for help. 

5. Reduce brake drag because this will increase the load of engine therefore heat up the engine more. 

No one should compromise with the car overheated problem because it could damaged the engine. If the car engine burst, then the only solution to get the car back on the road is by doing full overhaul. Therefore, bring your car to the quality mechanics to check it for you then, the bad and damaged parts could be repaired and replaced before driving it again. If the problem was let be, the head gasket will be blown. When this happen, water could get inside the engine and will mixed with the engine oil. Bad, bad situation. The engine head could be warped.


If replacement of radiator or water pump or thermostat or service radiator had been done, top overhaul would definitely be the best and only solution to avoid larger cost.


How to know if your head gasket is blown? Easy breezy.

Open the hood, and the radiator cap, start your engine. If you could see the coolant or water from the radiator jumping out from the radiator opening after 5 minutes, then you know that the head gasket is blown.

Another way is by checking the dipstick after you start your engine for few minutes. Then off it. Take out the dipstick. If you see mayonnaise residue mixed with the engine oil, you know you had to do top overhaul for your car and have the engine head skimmed. Because of the blown head gasket.

Worse case scenario is when your exhaust blow white smoke with some kind of weird sweet smell. You will need the above action done too.

This is how your engine should look like when you break it up. Head gasket is supposed to hold engine oil from mixing up with water. When overheat happens, the head gasket would be blown if let be and the cylinder head would be warped too. 

When the car running with blown head gasket, you will feel that the car lose its power, heavy and shaky. I had experience this and i could never sleep well thinking about the car. So, to prevent any overheating problem with your car it is always best that you check your water level, engine oil, any leaks from engine or radiator or other components. Bare with me, please! Brake oil level is also crucials. Your tyres air pressure as well! I know! You are trying hard to read on. Anyway, drive safe, don't drink and drive angry. Be considerate and extra patient when on the road. 
I could recommend you to check out this blog, kerosakankereta.blogspot.com to have your virtual mechanic if you don't have any mechanics' number on your speed dials, too busy, too lazy or too far from real world mechanics. He has lots of car stories to be shared and  even answer to every questions and doubts you have. Cool. I followed his blog.
Thank you for reading!
