Colour-Blind 2008-06-10 10:24:15 Are you able to see this number ?It's the number 7. Did you get it correct ?My hubby got it wrong as he is partial colour blind. Each time my girl asked him about colours, he often gave the wrong information. He also will pass the wrong (colour) toothbrush to the kids. So he can teach our children anything, but NOT colours. Out of curosity, I tested my girl ........ and she is able to tell me all Read more:Blind

No Closure At All 2008-06-11 01:23:42 I thought I had a closure when my refund was approved. Now my agent called me to inform that my maid had lodged a complaint in her training centre (in her country) that I had wronged her.What is she trying to do??The police had already convicted her yet she was still twisting the facts.Sigh ....I hope she will not do any harm to my loved ones ...I don't feel good ....

Provoking People 2008-06-16 04:04:53 Recently, we noticed a strange and funny behaviour from our lovely boy.He loves to provoke people.The children often fight to be the first to have his/her milk being made. We told them that they have to take turns, like, today is jie-jie's turn, then tomorrow will be his.So when it was his turn to be the first, he went on to tell his sister, resulting in a squabble."HA HA HA ... me first!"His "HA Read more:Provoking

Aunty Wendy 2008-06-15 09:54:16 How are you AuntyWendy
?Hope you are well in your world and we miss you every CNY gathering we have.Time flies ... last year on Father's Day, my aunty Wendy departed from us suddenly.Not only Mother's Day reminded us about hubby's grandmother's death anniversary, Father's Day also marks the demise of my aunty wendy.This is how we are going to remember them on these two important days.
At 34 Months 2008-06-17 04:25:30 My boy will soon turn 3 years old in 2 months' time. How times fly~Last month when my boy was 33 months old, I wrote about his bowel issues.Today, I feel so happy for him that he could poo without taking any prune juice. He hasn't been taking for almost a month (because mummy wants to save $$ and decides not to replenish :P) and his bowels are getting pretty normal, and still BIG. Hehe.It has been Read more:Months
Sing Along With Her (Part 2) - Tong Hua 2008-06-24 01:03:46 Which pop song does your child like?I thought of a way to get my kids interested in learning Mandarin, is to let them listen to Chinese songs, be it children or pop songs.Currently, my kids are obsessed with this song Tong Hua, because this song is their daddy's mobile ring tone. They fell in love with this song when they first heard it and my girl had since mastered the song. My boy can sing a li
Going To School ... Soon ! 2008-06-23 11:20:13 I can't believe it, my baby, my son, has grown up and it's time for him to attend school.He is attending nursey next year and I choose the 8am slot. Still waiting for the confirmation of the timing, which will be released somewhere mid-Sept.I am cherishing every one-to-one moments with him as once he goes school, it will be a start of his long and stressful education journey ...

New Term, New Rules 2008-06-23 03:18:33 My princess had started school on Monday. Boy, was she too excited about it that she woke up at 630am and refused to sleep after her milk. Anyway, it's much more easier for me to prepare her for school, as I don't need to wake her up from her dreams.Upon reaching the school, I saw a different kind of scene, that is, students queueing outside their own classroom, instead of lining up in the assembl Read more:New Rules

Squeezing Toothpaste 2008-06-21 09:47:08 I have this habit of squeezing toothpaste from the bottom. Every morning when brushing my teeth, I have the same task, that is to squeeze the toothpaste from the bottom again.Why? Because my hubby loves to squeeze toothpaste using his palm. Can you imagine when the paste is half-empty, I had already squeezed them all from the bottom to the top, and his doing will make my efforts down the drain.Yes Read more:Toothpaste
The End Of June Holiday 2008-06-19 12:13:10 This week is the last week of the holidays and also marks the end of our waking-up-late in the morning. The mad rush weekday routine will be back soon. :(Except for her usual phonics lesson on saturday, she spent her days playing, reading and some writing (her phonics homework).And also I declared it's a Speak-Mandarin-Campaign at home, for the whole month ! Hehe!It did help her as we observed a g Read more:Holiday
Yo Gabba Gabba 2008-07-07 10:20:03 Yesterday was Youth Day and there's no school for girl.I thought we could sleep in longer but I was wrong! She woke up at the usual time (around 6.30am) and refused to sleep because she wanted to catch the programmes that she usually missed when she attended school.Though I don't encourage them to watch television the moment they woke up, I gave in this time as she hardly could watch any in the mo

Me! Didi! 2008-07-03 04:24:16 My son is almost 3 years old and yet when I ask him, "what is your name?"He patted on his chest and replied, "Me ! Didi !"I tried to correct that his name is Zenden, but he still insisted his name is Didi. Till now, he is still sometimes confused over greeting people.Haha, I was wondering if I always call him "darling", will he go around and tell the whole world that his name is DARLING ? Hehe!Whe
Total Failure 2008-07-02 20:38:22 Can you believe that being together with hubby for 15 years plus, I have not asked him to teach me how to ride a bicycle?Neither did him as he used to say, we can always ride a double-bicycle.But things have changed since we had children and sometimes he 'complained' that how nice it would be if I know how to ride, so that we could have a nice time at the beach.MEN !! *pout*As he was on leave yest Read more:Total

The Day Has Come 2008-06-30 11:38:14 Finally, the real school life sets in as my girl will be having spelling in English and Chinese every Tuesday and Thursday respectively.During the first half of the year, she does not have any spelling test. However, with the experience she has in phonics enrichment, I am sure she is ready for the school English spelling. My main concern is the Chinese "ting-xie". Hope she will fare well. Which pa
Holding Hands (Part 2) 2008-06-29 10:28:33 Previously, I wrote about my girl commenting hubby and me holding hands hereThere was a day we brought the kids for window shopping, while walking towards the lift, hubby seized the chance to hold my hands as the two children were holding hands together.Suddenly my son raised his voice, "Daddy !!! Cannot hold mummy's hand !!"He quickly ran towards us angrily, broke free our grip, pushed his daddy Read more:Hands
Familarizing The School 2008-06-29 00:29:55 With just left only 5 months plus before my boy goes to nursery, I decide to let him tag along on the days when I am not working, if weather permits.I want him to familarize with the school so that it'll be less hassle for me next year.glitter-graphics.comUsually I will leave him at mum's place and pick him up later after I send girl to school. Now I would want him to have the feel of going to sch Read more:School
How To Be A Happy Mum 2008-06-26 20:28:04 Previously, I wrote about discovering my interest in reading again. Besides the book "Rich Dad Poor Dad", my younger brother also lent me this book from Adam Khoo.I have already finished and now hubby is reading it. These two books are very informative as they really made both of us think .... think real deep as how to increase our wealth, for our future. Hehe ... and we are still thinking hard.I Read more:Happy
Mummy's Poo Business 2008-06-25 10:10:05 On my non-working days, I'm home alone with my son in the morning as my girl is in school and sometimes when I have a sudden tummyache, seriously I'm at loss what to do as it is dangerous to leave him alone.Yesterday, it happened and I went to ask my little boss."Boy, can mummy go toilet to put-put?""NO!""Please? I promise it will be a fast one""NO!"After negotiating with him, it was agreed that h Read more:Business

No More Koala Bear 2008-07-21 20:07:51 Previously when my son tagged along to school, initally he clinged on me like a koala bear. I think he must be shy. (Didn't know that the word "SHY" exists in his world! haha!)Now with the new routine (ie tag along everyday), he is so daring now to go inside the classroom and mingle with his sister's classmates and explore the whole classroom.Either I stand at the door to observe that he is doing
New Routine 2008-07-21 01:24:06 The other time, I was mentioning that I allowed my boy to tag along on my non-working days, in order for him to familiar the school.In fact, rain or shine, I have been bringing him along every day, regardless if I am working that day.Although it's tough as the weather had not been good in the morning lately and I had to supervise both of them to cross the road, I feel this way would be better.I do Read more:Routine
