During The Day

My kids spending their day with grandparents.

At the dining area, having their lunch together!

Faint! My mom allow my girl climb up and sits on dinning table.

Can You Believe This

... from a MindChamps teacher? How long can I endure her?

This morning, as usual, getting things ready and my boy sitted at the entrance door wearing his shoes. Hugs and kisses from him before stepping out from the house.

Just before leaving the house.

"Mommy, Ms Susan says, I am not invited for he K2 concert on 11Dec2010, because I am not going to continue K2 with MindChamps next year."

Just wonder why he is not invited to the up coming concert of K2. Just because he is not continuing?

"Why? Only you?"

"Yes."

"All my friends get to go 17th floor, watch K2 practise but not me."

When I hear his comment, it really break my heart! Why must the teacher treat him so exceptional?

"If your friends go 17th floor, where did you go?"

"They sent me to another class."

Break my heart again after hearing this. Can't they just let him join the crowd? Just let him be part of the group by not letting him feel he is alone!

"Is alright." Can you imagine when I hug him back, tears flow out from my heart.

MindChamp Teacher Is So Annoying

This morning I feel so annoying with the way how the teacher in MindChamps handle thing again! She really upset me again and again! I have no idea what's wrong with the teacher, until that extend to put damages to my son!

Did I offended her? Or she just simply dislike/hate my boy so much. He is just only a kid, how can you be so cruel to a 5 years old boy?

Thanks GOD that I have made a right choice with no hesitation to withdraw him out from MindChamps by end of this year, unfortunately my boy still need to go to MindChamps for another 4 weeks!

What Am I Doing At This Time?

I am still awake at this hour, clearing out some of my personal things that I can't settle during the day when I am working.

Finished and completed the withdrawal form. Oh, by the way, if you haven't get any update from me during lunch meet up, I have decided discontinue my boy with MindChamps, he will be there till end of this year. Personally, I feel extremely disappointed with the teachers and management, sorry to say that, the way they handle things/issues, really sucks! Now then I understand and strongly agreed to have a good childcare, require good teachers with passion in their career and love children.

I believe there are more education providers nowadays whom do not have the passion and not at all of any professional ethics. How pathetic! It's about passing on knowledge and nurturing these young minds to be future leaders and they just made it so commercialize. (Just my two cents worth of view)

Next, was clearing my emails, can't read through every single emails, managed to read randomly. Thereafter, move to trash bin. Sent out email to my Financial planner to terminate my premium, Pru Smart Lady. I find a bit expensive to manage compare to another plan with having same amount of saving and coverage, pay less. Moreover, I bought this plan not more than 2 years, so not too late to change my decision.

And not to forget, very important, is to have some 'ME' time. Logging to my Facebook to get update and games! Yohoo!

Chaotic Life

Life has become so chaotic thereafter I decided to return back to work life and signed the agreement letter with the company. Within same day, I received a call from my aunt that my dad had a stroke. So my mum has to be there to look after him. He is coping well, recovering.

While my mum's absent, MIL is here to take over 1/3 of her position, only looking after my girl's daily needs, whereas the other 2/3 will have to depend on me.

Days without my mum around, no more home cooked food, really miss my mum's cooked food so much. MIL can't cope with the cooking, so have to order tingkat delivery (catering) for weekdays and eat out for weekends.

Days without my mum around, I tend to be extremely busy till I hardly have a time to stop for a deep breath. Don't need to mention about checking my personal emails and Facebook. I can feel the stress and even during the days, speed of my heart beat increasing.

Days with MIL, here comes the chaotic life. I have to rush to my boy's childcare to pick him up, I can't instruct her to help me out with some other stuff, she starts to nag, a bored look appears on her face and so on and so on. I do appreciate her help, during this period of time, while I am away, she did take good care of my girl. With her help, I don't need to consider a nanny or sending her to childcare. Only thing that I wish from my MIL is, try to smile often and have a happy face, I notice my girl frown a lot recently, this expression definitely is from her.

I feel so fortunate to have my mum around, she has been helping me out a lot, not only now I notice, this always has been in my mind, only now then I blog it. I am looking forward for my mum returns.

Our weekends basically occupied with unpacking (looks more like never ending things to me), house chores, family outing, and search for furniture that can fits in my new house. Hope everything resume back as per normal, so I can read books to my kids, spend my time with family and gather around for chit chat. Is so wonderful!

Bye SAHM

I have been a SAHM for almost 2 years 2months, drawing a full stop to end my SAHM life soon. Mother of two and still continue as a personal assistant to my husband, but added an extra responsible as an Application Support to a local company.

I am glad and enjoyed spending every single minute with my adorable kids when I am a SAHM. Although there were no extra budgets set aside for luxury life, that were the most precious moment that hubby given to me, I feel so fortunate to have a loving and caring hubby. Thanks hubby agreed to my decision and has been so supportive.

I am So Busy

I am having A BUSY LIFE... ...

I have been so busy lately,

wonder

what's been keeping me so busy?

Truth Of Life

We make them cry who care for us.

We cry for those who never care for us.

And we care for those who will never cry for us.

This is the truth of life, its strange but true.

Once you realise this, its never too late to change.

Granny Smith Apples

What a lovely name given to a green apple.

Selection Information

Usage: Very good for eating fresh, cooking & salads. They're also the primary ingredient for a Granny Smith Apple pie.

Selection: A Good-quality Granny Smith apple will be firm with smooth and clean skin. Granny Smith apples are a deep green with an occasional pink blush of the cheeks. Test the firmness of the apple by holding it in the palm of your hand. (Do not push with your thumb). It should feel solid and heavy, not soft and light. These apples may be less attractive, but the flesh is still good to eat after cutting.

Avoid: Avoid product with soft or dark spots. Also if the apple skin wrinkles when you rub your thumb across it, the apple has probably been in cold storage too long or has not been kept cool. Grannies occasionally show "russeting," a brownish network at the stem end.

Out Of My Question

While I was in the kitchen after dinner, as usual doing the cleaning and washing where my son is ready to go in bathroom. Before he enters, out from his mouth, "I love you mommy. You are so nice because you let me have VitC, watch TV and make milk for me".

Me, "... but I don't allow you to have sweets".

My boy stare at me, "There's out of my question, mommy!".

Ha! I didn't expect him reply me using 'Out of my question'. In return, I gave him a stun look!

Traditional Birthday Food

I don't get to eat mee suah on my birthday where my parents don't practice it. Since my MIL cooked mee suah for my hubby on his birthday, so I just follow, practice them and pick up this traditional birthday food and cook for my kids.

Mee suah usually served with eggs, oysters, pig's large intestine, mushroom, beef, shallots or spring onion. Due to health cautions, my gal is too early to consume adult's food and some other reason, I have modified most of the steps to suits for my gal, drop some ingredients and add-on other ingredients.

A bowl of mee suah that I have prepared for my gal as breakfast on her birthday.

Here is my preparation:

1. Prepared a pot of chicken stock or fish stock. I used chicken backs, wings and legs, bring them to boil, takes about 4 hours.
2. Cook mee suah in a wok of boiling water, stir well, mee suah usually cooks fairly quickly. Remove the cooked mee suah from heat, drain and put under a running tap for few minutes to wash away the starch and to prevent further cooking. Set in a serving bowl.
3. Once your stock is ready, add in your ingredients like vegetables, mushroom and etc till all cook. Pour everything over mee suah.
4. Lastly, add in hard boil egg before serve.

My Tots

After registered my girl for 'Healthy Breastfed Baby Contest', I am still at KKH, looking for helium services, I need to consolidate plus to compare their prices.

I saw babies, baby suppose to be so adorable but babies at KKH, I really can't bear to see them with lots of needles all over their body. I feel so heart pain, but at the same time I really feel so bless that my kids are healthy and active! I know every human need to go through all this stage, even animals but with such a young age, really make me sad. No matter how, moms out there, you have to hang on and be strong, your baby needs you!

无聊的一天

纯属无聊的一天！

真是无聊的一天！

我确实感觉自己很无聊， 活得很不充实！ 也应该是时候走进人群学习了！

We Have A Date With Fidgets

Yeah! Here we go, went to Fidgets with my two little precious!

Yes, without hubby around, only me and two of them.

Lunch time - Pizza for my boy. He ordered at the counter all by himself, and he was so proud of himself and enjoyed eating them.



My gal struggle a bit when having her lunch, after a while she's able to settle down and finished. Good job!



They are having fun and great time at Fidgets!



Thumbs up for me for the day as I survived with two of them!

Unruly Toddler

stage when children can be

Strawberry Shortcake VS Ladybug

I did some information gathering on Ladybug instead of Strawberry Shortcake theme. Why choose Ladybug? My girl already had the ladybug outfit, I don't need to get another set of clothes for her, she can wear it on that day, and moreover the outfit matches the theme too!

Proposed Ladybug theme to hubby once I have most of the information on hand, this included cake design, venue, and party supplier. Hubby still prefers Strawberry Shortcake, so I have to stick with the initial plan!

We are going to have Strawberry Shortcake birthday theme party for my girl!

Task Assigned

A task has been assigned to me yesterday - having Strawberry shortcake theme party and cake will order from Pine Garden's Cake. I have not try their cake and have no idea how good will it be, only know that lots of good comments out there, but one thing for sure, I will definitely get the chance to try it out on my girl's birthday.

This is my first time doing it, to coordinate and organise a birthday event, basically managing everything! Really stress me out!

I still need to gather more information yet no idea where to start from! Venue? Date? Time? Only family or include friends? Most important part - Where is my budget?

Should Thomas train given to boy and Strawberry shortcake for girl? I am trying very hard and struggling to be neutral, but end up we still choosing pink colour for my girl and blue colour for my boy! We really are a stereotype parents!

Busy Or Lazy

Lately, am I too busy or too lazy?

I just notice that I have tons of unfinished stuff pilling up awaiting for me to complete, and I am here doing nothing. I really hate myself for doing that, using busy just for an excuse in order to covered my laziness! Sigh!!!

Laziness, please keep a distance away from me!!!

Having Fever

My gal is having fever again.

Just after her dinner, while carrying her I feel her body very warm. Now I know what bothers her and no wonder during meal time she shows no interest on her food. Sigh! She just recovered last week, fever plus flu, then now having fever again!



Wanted to bring her to nearby neighbourhood clinic but most of the clinic closed at 5pm , so left with no choice, have to bring her to other clinic where located at TPY central.

After taken her medicine, her temperature yet to go down, still stuck at 38.8°c. The fastest and effective way to lower down her fever is to put on a cool pad.

Here she is, happily exploring around the house and refuse to go to bed!

Clap Hands

Here come the clap hands milestone!!!

Left Behind Messages

While clearing off some of my junk data from my mobile phone, I found some video recorded by my boy. He recorded his love for his mommy and daddy. He is so sweet and lovable, with his messages and kisses really melt our heart!

Here goes the video... ....

I love daddy, that was recorded on 27Dec2009, expressing his love to his daddy.

Found another video message that was recorded on 31Dec2009, I love you mommy!

Love you forever!

from Mum & Dad.

Totally Forgot

Blur me or having memories lapse, I notice that recently I tend to forget things easily!

Today, I totally forgotten about my gal's 9 months old assessment. Oh, gosh! I have to call up to re-schedule the appointment.

Ethen Full Month Celebration

Here is the star, baby Ethen celebrated his 1 month old today.

I am very excited as I get to see him again, so adorable. 1st time visited him was at TMC, after my best friend delivered.

Seeing him, really miss those days where my baby only demands for feed and sleep, I get to have more 'me' time and rest.

Nice to see each other and get updates! Ni, Wo, Ta (你, 我, 她) meet up again but another Ta (她) absent!

Oh! This has been keeping in my heart for a very long time. I am grateful to my best friend and her mum, dad & aunt for their help. I really appreciate their kindness. She offered her help to me at that moment (that was the time I am really lost) to take care of my son when he was 18 months where my mum was away for medication, hubby went for business trip and my leave had not been approved.

Here she is, my best friend's mum, with my girl.

Only managed to take a photo of her mum. I will take a photo of her dad and aunt when we meet again!

My son enjoyed his time playing with Roysten!

娃娃国

儿童歌词: 娃娃国

娃娃国，娃娃兵，金发蓝眼睛，
娃娃国王胡须长，骑马出皇宫。
娃娃兵在演习，提防敌人攻，
机关枪嗒嗒嗒，原子弹轰轰轰。
