Say hi to 30s

Say good bye to 20s, say hi to 30s!

I have never kept my age as secret. I think it is not a big deal to get older everyday because that's what everyone must and will go through, no exception nor exemption! And your are right, I am 30! So what?!

I think women in 30s the best! We are overall financially stable, mentally matured and physically healthy. We have spare money to pamper ourselves, are open to new and exciting things and healthy to travel. I think it is nice to be in 30s.

Jo and Jayden had a simple birthday celebration for me...



Jayden: yi~yi~wa~ah~~~
(not sure he is wishing me happy birthday or asking for a piece of cake. I will assume the earlier one ;p)

Jo: Dear, happy birthday!

Yes! Happy Birthday to Fion!!!
Welcome to 30s~~~~~~~~

My baby is growing......

I was packing some of Jayden 'out of size' clothes the other day. When I looked at his smaller size clothes compare to what he is wearing today, my heart was saying "Oh my god... this little fellow is growing up very fast!"



These four sleeping suits of him show how he grows: from the very left (new born) to the very right (wearing today). To me, it's almost out of sudden!!

Just imagine a working mother who works everyday and spends only few hours with her son before she goes to work and after she is back from work. She actually spends more time in the office than with her son. One day, when she is free to really look at her son, he already standing upright in front of her, showing her all the new tricks he has learned...... I'm lucky I'm not exactly like one of these mothers, but I definitely missed some of his very moments when I'm at work.

The Escape

~ by my 10 months old boy

It was just like any normal night, Jo was busying at the laundry area and I was sitting on the sofa, giving myself a short rest after finished some stuffs in the kitchen. Jayden was sitting in the walker, by forced.



Something on the sofa caught his eyes. He started thinking of how to reach his target. He fixed his vision on his target and started getting out from the walker.



Every moves he made, his eyes were never looking at anything else but his target. And I was not surprised that he could get out from the walker without my help.



He got his favourite - the remote control. He was satisfied with his plan!

Jayden found himself a good helper! He gets close to sofa whenever he wants an "escape" from walker. My nightmare begins...

My new phone

I'm lazy to survey around and stingy to spend too much on a phone. I don't need much features, a simple average phone is just nice. So I choose Nokia 6303i classic.



A classic candy bar Nokia phone, with all I need and even more. I like its simple and classic design. It is light and thin, easy to hold and use. It comes with stainless steel cover, easy to maintain and long lasting. And it is cheap! I just got what I want!

什么电台广告？！

最近常常在听MyFM电台的时候想转台，不是因为电台节目素质差，而是广告实在太令人讨厌了！而且不是一则广告，而是好几则广告！

广告一：Guocera瓷砖
厂商请来了用户Fui Man来说明对产品的满意度。原则上用户的满意会让更多人想使用该产品，会是个有效的广告。但是一听就知道Fui Man是照着稿子念出来的，不是真正的用户访谈。既然只是一个广告手法而不是真正的访谈，为什么不请一个华文程度好一点的人来念稿子呢？我觉得Fui Man不但没有让我产生想使用Guocera瓷砖的想法，反而让我觉得Guocera的品牌形象就像念稿子的人一样 - 做作和让人反感。

广告二：Vees Deli Cooker
厂商主要用意在于呼吁听众不要陷入冒牌货的陷阱，购买时要认明商标。原则上是一个很好的讯息，也会是很好的广告。问题又出在了念稿子的人身上！他可能想要模仿香港模仿达人王祖蓝的说话语调，但既然要听众拒绝冒牌货，怎么自己又做起冒牌人呢？好好一个正面讯息就不能好好念出来吗？让人恶心！

广告三：iTalk
厂商用意在于提醒大家在观赏世界杯的当儿也可继续享有低通话费，所以不要因为观赏世界杯而忘了与身边的人保持联络。感觉不错，是一个善意的广告。问题出在广告对白：一对情侣说话到一半，男生突然大喊GOAL。嗯，会不会太奇怪和牵强了呢？如果我的另一半是这样，我应该会给他一巴掌。

广告四：不知名的咖啡
好像是新推出的超浓咖啡，献给会欣赏gao gao的咖啡的人士。没办法记得牌子，只记得最后很牵强的把gao gao喊成一连串的GOAL GOAL GOAL GOAL GOAL。又是一则想沾世界杯风的广告！

广告五：余仁生老山泡参
真是万万都没有想到连余仁生也来沾世界杯风！有心才会感恩，余仁生真诚感恩打响招牌，要感恩就会想到余仁生。之前的广告真诚感人，很成功！没有想到现在来一个败笔：大家通宵达旦的观赏世界杯都不再是问题，只要你饮用余仁生老山泡参。 四年一次也不需要那么的拼搏吧？虽然不至于把过去四年辛苦树立的完美形象给毁于一旦，但还是留下了个黑点。何必呢？

广告是广泛的告知公众相关信息，有创意的告知手法会事半功倍，但过度创意就会适得其反，不得其果。

以上内容纯属个人意见，如有雷同不属巧合，只是说明广告真的需要改进！

你快乐所以我快乐

一直以来我都说：现在是快乐的季节，出门记得要带笑容！但不知道什么时候换季了，我快乐不起来。原来我进入了伤心的季节，但我出门不习惯带眼泪。我的眼泪凝固在眼眶里，心显得特别沉重。

伤心的季节是很难过的，出门除了要带眼泪，很多人还会带着小器、猜忌、疑心和敏感。我是个懒惰的人，不喜欢带那么多无谓的东西出门，所以我觉得很累，不是身理的疲惫，而是心变得倦怠。在伤心的季节里，每个人都抢着当主角，渐渐地变得自我，甚至无法理喻。

我也在度过伤心的季节，但我选择做一个配角，我还是习惯于“你快乐所以我快乐”。虽然如此，在忙了一大转后，我有时还是会不经意想：为什么每个人都在抢当主角的时候我要把自己的情绪摆在最后一位？在我的心觉得累的时候，有没有人也来包容一下？

很多时候就是那么的无奈，但无奈的不是不被谅解，而是被误解。最无奈的是在被误解的时候，解释是没有用的。

Time for a new phone

Not sure my handphone was thinking of taking a bath or commit suicide, it fell into toilet bowl and ended its own life! So sad......

I went into a public toilet on Monday evening and put my handphone besides the flush button. It fell into the toilet bowl when I was about to wee wee. I immediately switched it off until next day morning. I thought it would be ok by then, but it was not!

I had a day without a mobile phone yesterday. A day without a mobile phone it's like a day without a hook - I can't hook to my family and friends... I had to use public phone to call Joe yesterday, and the last time I talked on public phone was about 8 years ago...

Today I'm using my sister's old mobile phone, Motorola C380. Not sure what phone to buy yet...... suggestion?

Our first outing

Jo's company had a Family Day at Sunway Lagoon. It was also Jayden's first family outing. I was quite excited about it and bought him a baby swimming suit even we were not sure which park to bring him to.

The day before, we decided to bring him to the Wild Life Park and Amusement Park, not the Water Park. It was a wrong decision! Jayden was not interested in anything he couldn't touch and he is too small to enjoy facilities in the Amusement Park. However, he had some great moments...



This was the first few spots we went to. Jayden was full of energy and was excited about what he sees. He was trying to touch the animals...



This was about few hours later, Jayden was tired. We had a short rest. He was attracted by the turkey. We continued our journey to somewhere where a lot of pigeons and turkeys were running around. Jayden was very excited when he saw animals running around him. I think he prefers something more real and interactive.



This was taken outside the butterfly area. We were about to leave... Jayden was quite tired but happy for his first outing with daddy and mummy.
