This would be a very short updates on our M.I.A.
This was a last minute plan when we had a friend who offered us a place to stay in her house in Melbourne and we got cheap flight tickets. What would you do if you were in our position? Just do for it and think later on the other expenses….
We decided to go on first week of the school holidays to avoid crowd and also peak season prices in December 2009. It was the first time for Mummy, JL and AL to fly to Australia. It was PaPa's second visit to Australia and his first one was to Gold Coast with his previous company trip in 2002. It was quite short one that we might plan to go back in future when the kids were bigger to cover some other places which we didn’t manage to cover. We would want to thanks Aunty LL and her whole family for having us which indeed save us a lot of money on the accommodation especially at this time that the Australian Dollars at the high rate.
After the trip, every one of us was darker due to too many outdoor activities. Mummy fell sick and PaPa was busy preparing for his exam on 03Dec09 (today). PaPa now would be in the exam room and we were praying hard that he would pass his exam.
Mummy needed to take time to calculate all the damages incurred during the trip. Hopefully we would not need to owe the credit card and pay more bank interest. We had not completed our Christmas shopping yet. On top of that, school or kindy would be reopened in less than one month time, Mummy must allocated budget to pay for JL’s kindy fees especially the beginning of the year fees would be usually more including textbooks and other misc. fees.
We just introduced formula milk to AL on 01Dec09 because Mummy’s freezer stock was running extremely low and Mummy had stopped daytime pumping. AL would still have her breastmilk direct feed at night. After two days, AL was rejecting the formula milk due to the taste differences. We hope AL would get use to it soon by this week. Praying hard….
Please give Mummy some time to compile the photos of the trip and would update you all soon……..

Welcome back! faster post the photo :)
try Japlo which the taste is similiar to breast milk. It is not as 'thick' as the other brand's formula and it has one ingredient which bb can get from breast milk. my girl rejected a few brands of formula and when i tired japlo, she drank it. at first i thot it was the teats or formula but its truly the taste of formula
will come again to see the photo, happy holidays.
