AL's 1st Birthday

AL’s actual 1st birthday was on 20July09 but we decided to celebrate on 19July09, Sunday because PaPa would be in outstation on 20July09.


It was not a big party. We invited only immediate relatives and we had a simple lunch in KFC Jalan Universiti. Why this KFC? In 2005, when KFC Jalan Universiti was newly open, it was the same place where we had JL’s 1st birthday. Since it was AL’s 1st birthday, we planned a small and simple party. We usually don’t organize any big party because we preferred to keep it simple and hassle free plus spending time just four of us.

The month before, we registered AL for Chicky Club which was free membership. Why? The main aim to register the club was to get the free birthday cake for her birthday. We didn’t pay for the part packages but we managed to negotiate for some party packs for some of the kids for free.

We ate and chat and ate non-stop – from fried chicken to cakes. Mummy might need to detox and go for colon cleansing for all the food consumed. Mummy got to check some colon cleansing reviews in the internet.


After all the eating session, we went home while AL slept in the carseat. When we arrived home, AL woke up on time for us to take photos of her with her presents. JL was helpful helping to arrange the presents and opening the presents for AL.



That night, it was only four of us. Upon JL request, we went for sushi. JL wanted to go Sushi K which we were reluctant. After that trip to Sushi K, it would be our last trip there because the food was lousy and not nice even though we got 10% using our JCard. AL took some sushi including cucumber, egg, Cawan Mushi and others except raw fish – a variety of small bites (AL’s food sampling). Mummy loved sashimi…

After dinner, we walked around 1 Utama window shopping with the kids. It was a simple, quiet but fulfilling time spent with the kids.

Hi Chanel!

I've read before that detox is not recommended for BF mommies, and even preggies like me.

Because when you do detox, the whole body is cleansed to get the toxic out of the system. When this happens, there will be a chance that some might flow into the milk (or into the womb for preggies).

I think if you plan to detox, you might want to do some research on it first.

I have this theory though, that if we just take the good colon bacteria i.e. Acidophilus (like in Vitagen) to help clean our colon, that might be safe enough. But some might go into the baby via the milk though and baby may get a little runny poop. But I guess that should be less worrying cos Acidophilus is good for the colon.

I like to take Elken Lactose-S. But it's been a while since I've consumed it (because of the same reason).

Whatever it is, I think it's best to talk to your doctor :)
