Fiery 妈妈 1970-01-01 00:59:59 Lately, I can see a tiny bit of improvement from 哥哥. The frequency of me shouting has lessened, though I still have to keep repeating for a simple instruction. At least it's a good start. Maybe the cause of his improvement was having seen my nose bled last week after I got so angry. My blood bled for a good cause.Me on the other hand, still have not managed to contain my anger. Sometimes, I will still flare-up. Sigh! My poor 哥哥 kept apologizing for being naughty and I too kept apologizing for shouting. Hmm. I got to work harder.
Baby Pillow 1970-01-01 00:59:59 妹妹 has this habit of hugging and smelling her pillow sleep. But I do wash her pillow. No smelly pillow, okay! It's the tag of the pillow to likes to smells. My hubby and I were both baffled. It's really amusing to see her smell it. Sometimes she will offer the tag to us to smell too.Lately, I sew a little pillow and a pillow case using some fabric salvaged from some old clothes. And I sew in a tag I got from a cushion I bought to the pillow case too. Hopefully the next time when we go out late and pass her sleeping time, the little pillow will help calm her down and make her sleep in her pram. Right now it's impossible to still be outdoor after 8pm.
Flowers for Teachers' Day 1970-01-01 00:59:59 Teachers' Day is coming. This year, I have planned to help 哥哥 made flowers for his teachers. It quite easy! I think he should be able to manage. Read more:Flowers
T for Tyrant 1970-01-01 00:59:59 妹妹 is being so difficult lately. She doesn't want to take afternoon nap and only wants to be in the playroom.Gosh! Previously, she could stay there with 哥哥 accompanying her but now, I must be there too! If she noticed that I'm not there, she will hunt for me! The "best' part is, when she is watching TV, she wants to sit in between my legs and she would lie back against me. Wow! Really knows how to enjoy life!Poor me! Someone tell me how am I going to get work done now!
Me, me, me! 1970-01-01 00:59:59 Happy Birthday to me,Happy Birthday to me,Happy Birthday to me,Happy Birthday to me!Thank you for all you birthday wishes!Happy 冬至 to everyone too! Enjoy your 汤圆! "åƒäº†æ±¤åœ†å°±å¤§ä¸€å²äº†ï¼" That's what my mom always says. I always refuse to eat when I was a little girl because it makes me older by 2 years.^_^
Happy Teachers' Day 1970-01-01 00:59:59 Finally, we have finished with the Daisies. We made 4 bouquets of flowers, just nice for 哥哥's 4 teachers. Warren wanted to make more but we run out of the wrapper for the flowers. In the end, we settled for some loose stalks. The outcome is not too bad. Warren had fun making it. Read more:Happy
Wow! 1970-01-01 00:59:59 Every time 妹妹 says, "Wow!" when we go out, it would mean that we have pass by a shop with toys or with colourful things. She will keep saying, "Wow!" till we leave the shop. She is just so adorable!
Routines, I'm learning them! 1970-01-01 00:59:59 This morning when I carried 妹妹 out of her playpen, I presumed that she would just walked out to go the playroom. She didn't. Instead, she walked to the fan, pressed on the off button, and then walked out!If she wants to go out, she would get her shoes and pass it to me. Then, she would lift up her leg asking me to put on shoes for her. She will also try to remove her shoes when we get home but she only managed to unfasten the Velcro. I bet the next thing she will learn to do, is kick her shoes out! That's what 哥哥 did when he was a toddler.妹妹 is learning all the routines! Read more:Routines
Chef for the hour 1970-01-01 00:59:59 I bought Pepperoni and Mozzarella Cheese from Cold Storage last week when I visited my parents.Yesterday, I let 哥哥 had his hand on making his own Pepperoni, Ham and Mozzarella Cheese Toast. It's quite simple and he had fun with it. 哥哥 never like cheese with bread but he could finish the whole slice. He said he would like to make and eat the toast again today.
The men don't get it 1970-01-01 00:59:59 Everytime I ask 妹妹 to kiss me, she will do so with a very loud 'Mmmuaak!" But she is very stingy. She will only give me one kiss, nothing more. But it's better than none.When 爸爸 asks her for a kiss, she has no reaction. She simply ignored him. And she will push Warren away if he asks for it.The privilege of being a mother!
Cough! Cough! 1970-01-01 00:59:59 I noticed 哥哥 coughing a few times last week and I quickly started him with his medication. Guess even giving him his medicine before his cough get worst is of no use. If he is going to get it, he will get it.Today, 哥哥's cough has got a lot worst. Sigh! Poor 哥哥! I can hear him coughing away as I type. Let's hope he recover soon.Now, my next worry is he will not pass it to 妹妹. God! Don't let it happen! Read more:Cough
Social Butterfly 1970-01-01 00:59:59 Last Saturday, we went to McDonald's for a bite and this 妹妹 couldn't stop waving (meaning "hello') to a family seated behind her. In the end, the mommy of that family turned her chair around and made her join them. Hahaha! As usual, 哥哥 was very upset that his dear sister had been taken away and made a lot of noise. That mommy asserted him that his sister was merely joining them for fries and would return soon. 妹妹 did return to our table, after eaten several sticks of fries! Read more:Social

妹妹 the å§å§ 1970-01-01 00:59:59 We met our new neighbour at the void deck at the ground level. The grandma was with QiQi 妹妹 who's 1 year younger than 妹妹.妹妹 was so excited to see her. She went to sayang her and even hugs her. All these, she did so gently. I'm so surprised because she has never did this to any of us before. Maybe she can differentiate that QiQi is a baby and she has to be gentle like how her 哥哥treats her. But then again 哥哥 can be quite tough with 妹妹. Hmm. When I tried to carry her home, she got angry! She only 'moved'; when QiQi goes home too. Sigh!Before QiQi went in to her house, 妹妹 didn't forget to give her one last hug! Where did she learn to do all these?
妹妹 is in Hall of Fame 1970-01-01 00:59:59 Last month, I submitted one of 妹妹's photo to SingaporeMoms.com for their June Cutest Baby Contest and 妹妹 came in first! One of the rewards is entry to their Hall of Fame. And here it is ... http://www.singaporemoms.com/community/node/45117
Revenge 1970-01-01 00:59:59 You know how people always say, children are God's gifts, children are the joy of our life, children make our life complete …. These are all the nice stuff about children.You know what I think about children? I think they are sent here to take revenge for their grandparents! Ha ha!I remembered how my parents kept nagging at me …. Wake up, you will be late. Hurry, finish your homework. Eat faster, you food is getting cold. Pack your room, it's so messy. Now Warren is taking revenge for his Ah Gong and Ah Ma. Ha ha!Seems like I doing exactly what my parents did!! Ha ha! Hmmm … I have not been a good girl! Ha! Ha! Read more:Revenge
妹妹's first pair of shoes 1970-01-01 00:59:59 2 weeks ago, my 爸爸 bought 妹妹 a pair of shoes
. She has never like to put on socks or soft shoes. Everytime I put on for her when we go out, she will pull it out and throw.As usual, when I put on the new pair of walking shoes for her, she immediately tried to pull it out. I let her stand on the ground and she still kept looking at her feet, kicking away. I think she got used to it now.Every morning, I'll put on the shoes for her and we will send 哥哥 to school together. When we reached the school, I'll let her come down, holding her with one hand, she will walk 哥哥 to his classroom, wave to him, then walk back to the door. She has been doing this since we got the shoes. The teachers there commented that she walks like a ballerina tip-toeing as she walks.She's getting better now though she still prefers to crawl. Faster lah.
妹妹 can read 1970-01-01 00:59:59 I am finally able to video 妹妹 reading a word I scribble on a book. So happy to see the 'fruit' of my labour. ^_^
Glutinous rice balls 汤圆 1970-01-01 00:59:59 It was Winter Solace 冬至 yesterday. I had my first attempt in doing glutinous rice balls. Being my first attempt, I don't want to be so ambitious. I bought all ready-made ingredients.The outcome was okay. I'm not skillful enough. The balls keep breaking when I knead them and all peanut fillings came out. Lucky, I have enough dough.Oh well! Practice make perfect. I'll be better … next year.
I want more cards! 1970-01-01 00:59:59 My little 妹妹 wants more flash cards! I have showed her flash cards when she was about 6 months old. After 2 months, she could pick out the correct cards when asked. At the same time she also loses interest in it. Early this month, I showed her flash cards again. This time round, she seems interested again. Last weeks she just refuses to let me stop showing her the cards! I can show her 2 rounds of 5 sets of cards, which contain 10 to 15 cards per set, and she still wants to see them. If I stop she will be angry and she will start to pick up the stacks of cards and start to see it herself! I went to the Popular Bookshop to look at the flash cards they have. I found that either the cards too small or the words are too small. The topics are always the usual like colours, shapes, animals, body parts, etc, which I have already made. Seems I have no choice but to make some more on my own. There goes my beauty sleep again …
妹妹's 1st Haircut by Hairdresser 1970-01-01 00:59:59 I brought 妹妹 to a saloon for a hair cut. She has wavy thick hair and it's out of shaped. I'm going to miss tying hair but at least she will look neater. I was surprised she did not cry. I thought she will resist being 'wrap up' and with hair dropping all over her face, she will start making noise. It was not that bad. She only started to wriggle towards the end when she gets bored sitting quietly. I didn't like the hairstyle. I don't think she looks nice. Maybe that because I can't play with her hair now. It's ok. Her hair will grow. Read more:Haircut
哥哥 the Graffitist 1970-01-01 00:59:59 I just realized there are purple lines on my sofa, courtesy of 哥哥. To cover-up his crime, he uses cushions to cover it. Sigh! The furniture in the house has all his abstract artworks on it. Seems like he thinks drawing papers and white board are not good enough for him to showcase his talents. Wait till his father sees his artwork. I don't think he will please with them.
Free to roam … finally 1970-01-01 00:59:59 It's so difficult to bring the 2 kids out without 爸爸 now. Even since 妹妹 started walking 2 weeks ago, she refuses to sit in the pram. Neither does she want to be carried. She just wants to walk. It's so difficult especially in crowded shopping centers. People walking behind me might be cursing me for being a slow tortoise.Lately she is worst. She now refuses to let me hold her hand too! Big girl now wants to roam on her own.
Under-aged Masseur 1970-01-01 00:59:59 爸爸 has been complaining about body aches and has been visiting our neighbourhood Chinese physician for massages.The other day, 哥哥 said he also know how to do it and he promptly gave his 爸爸 a shoulder massage.Sigh! He can be quite a dear if he is not at his usual mischievous behaviour.
Weird 妈妈 1970-01-01 00:59:59 I don't know how is it that 哥哥 can love to eat Egg Fu Yong aka Fried Onion with Eggs? Many people have asked me this. Their kids hate it. Not 哥哥, no. He also likes garlic too. Weird
! My Hubby said that's because he is following his weird mother. Ha ha! Yeah, I like Egg Fu Yong but my way of cooking, which I learn from my father. 哥哥 also doesn't seem to like the Egg Fu Yung we eat outside. I think it's a bit too dry. Hmmm … Maybe I can influence him to eat Lady's Finger?
On my Birthday …. 1970-01-01 00:59:59 I had a memorable birthday this year. For a start, 爸爸 went to work only at 12 noon. No. He did not take ½ day leave. It was because he went to work the night before and only reached home in the morning at 6. Then, my best friend of 18 years sends me a bouquet of flower and cake (and my favourite!). What a pleasant surprise! 爸爸 said now he don't have to get me a cake. We were able to have the cake together. 妹妹 sure enjoys it. Thanks, Bonny!Then my mobile constantly beeps for messages. Birthday
greetings from all the mommy friends. So sweet of them! And there are more greetings from my site! Wah!In the evening, I made Glutinous Rice Balls 汤圆 (for the 1st time) as it was Winter Solace 冬至 too.Yeah, I did have a memorable birthday. Thank you everyone for making it a special one!
Presents Time! 1970-01-01 00:59:59 哥哥 was so excited to receive his Christmas present that he woke up bright and early on Christmas Day. You should see how he ripped off the wrapper. We bought 妹妹 a present too. I reckon she would like it too and I'm right! She is now pushing it round the house! Read more:Presents
妹妹 knows her ABCs 1970-01-01 00:59:59 I was playing with 妹妹 when she suddenly said "I". I thought she was babbling again. Then she walked to pick up something she saw on the floor. It's the letter "I"! Then she picked up some more and say it out as she picked them up.Oooo! It made me so happy! What a wonderful Anniversary present this is!
I can read 1970-01-01 00:59:59 I had a pleasant surprise on Friday when 妹妹 pointed to the word on a flash card and said it correctly. Oh, she can read! From the look on 哥哥's face, he was surprised too! I showed her a few more cards and she could read those too!I haven't been able to test 妹妹 because she would simply grab the cards when I asked her to pick the correct one. So this really gave me the boaster to continue teaching her.I encouraged 哥哥 to practice writing and spelling by telling him that he can now help me test 妹妹. But he would have to know how to spell and write the word first. For the past 2 days, he kept writing 妹妹's favourite word, ball, on pieces of scrap paper and kept running after 妹妹 asking her what the word is. I kept hearing 妹妹 saying ball, ball, ball ….Ai yo! Time to write a new word!
Fever Fever 1970-01-01 00:59:59 哥哥 suddenly started having a fever this afternoon. He was ok yesterday and this morning he was still jumping about, as usual. He woke up suddenly from his afternoon nap and I saw his face was flushed. Must be the chocolates he ate last night. Sigh! Hope he will be well soon. Read more:Fever
New School Term, New Start 1970-01-01 00:59:59 哥哥 is start his new school term tomorrow. He will be in K1. As usual he thought he is switching back to Kinderland Kindergarten. I told him he only goes there for Holiday Activities. He will still go to Hope Kindergarten. He wasn't that happy. Sulked for a while.I had a very tiring December School
Holidays. When school starts. It will be more tiring. Sending 哥哥 to school with 妹妹 in tow. Go marketing and rush home to make lunch. Then fetch 哥哥 from school with 妹妹 again. Let them eat, play, bath and try to get them to sleep before rushing to make dinner. Sigh! Back to my robotic SAHM lifestyle. My only hope is that it will not rain like it did last month.
