Precious Moments

This morning my neighbour’s maid came over to pass us a CD with photos taken on Sunday. Look at how adorable these little people, bb and the beautiful triplet. Dear neighbour, if you happened to see your daughters photos in my blog, I hope you don't mind. I really adore them so much... they are so beautiful.

A warm bb

Weekend was a busy one. I went out on Saturday to attend a short course and only come back by 8pm. luckily hubby was there to take care of bb and by the time I reached home, dinner was ready for me too. He went out to pack some fried rice with Chinese sausage. Yummylicious! Bb was a little warm on Sunday night. I thought he was having fever. Checked him using the thermometer, no fever was detected. He slept and the next morning temperature was reading fine except his body was warmer than normal. I asked Sri to bring fever medicine along to mil’s house. By noon, he had slight fever. “Medicine”- this word upset him, it was such a pain feeding him. He tumbled with scream and cries; bite his teeth, spit out the fever syrup. Syrup spilled all around his mouth, down to the neck and stained his shirt. Oh poor boy, I think he is teething again. I saw him biting his security blanket very frequently. I fed him a little of pearl powder with water last night. It is belief to bring body heat down.

Hard to say Good bye

It is hard to say good-bye to bb nowadays, he has so much of awareness that he does not want to let me go every morning. Yesterday, he was so very upset, hung on to my leg and cried so badly. I was as usual late for work and not in any good mood to entertain but this time I shouted at him. Oh God, what have I done? His expression changed drastically, he reached out his hand for me while tears were rolling down fast to his cheek, mucus flowing out from his nose. What a poor boy who has a Big BAD mommy. Sometimes I wish I could be a 24x7 mom. Ohm…It must be hard for him to see me go and have to wave bye bye to me after all that crying. I am so sorry darling. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 4pm, I was in the Jabatan Pendaftaran Negara to collect my MyKad. It is ready finally. I went straight to counter eight upon reaching the crowd free department, what a contrast from few months back. Civil

28 months

Got this template from Jefferene , hope you don’t mind. This is my 2nd time doing it. I think I would also like to make it a point to update on bb’s development. BB is 2 years, 4 months, 0 week & 4 days old. Physical growth Weight: 11kg Height: not sure Physical development He is very lazy to walk now. Ask to carry all the time and quoted “Bb tired, mommy not tired, mommy carry”. Improved motor skills can kick football with daddy and kids older than him, he could throw ball using one hand too. Developed more muscle now especially in his upper arms. Love to jump and bounce high up with the help of us. Love to spins his body until he gets dizzy. The other day, he got over excited, hit his head over a glass tabletop while spinning, cried non-stop. Still does not like to put his feet on the bicycle paddle. Eating habit He drinks 4 – 5 bottles of milk per day (200ml each), 2 or 3 solid meals in between. He only eats a lot if the food is nice, mainly inclusive of pasta, porridge, rice, M

To impress

The other day a neighbour whom bb called grand auntie stopped by to have a chit chat with mil. Beside her was her granddaughter. When bb saw the little girl approaching, he was so excited and started jumping high up, he pointed to his used to be walker now bicycle and hurried it out to the garden where the little girl was. I think he was trying to impress the little girl. He used to bring out his motorbike and start showing kids that come by with his skills on operating the forward, reverse, riding, turning of the bike. I was a little surprise seeing how such young boy understood the concept of “IMPRESS”. Mil asked him to call grand auntie and che che (big sis), he shy away only to demonstrate his skill handling the bicycle. Later when Sri picked up a piece of flower to toss it high up letting it hover down forming a nice twirling image. He mimicked Sri while eyeing the girl with the edge of his right eye. Boy, this makes me wonder if it is healthy to impress girl at such a tender age

Can you believe it, I was in Lee hom's mini concert?

I was a crazy mama, Can you believe it I was in Lee Hom’s mini concert in Sunway Lagoon? It’s not because I am a super fans of Lee Hom but a super fans of FREE stuff... My boss gave away free tickets with escort via VIP entrance to the concert. It was not a very good night; rain started pouring cats and dogs since 6pm in PJ. I was worried about bb as he was very cranky the entire day due to lack of sleep. We traveled back to Port Klang to visit my parents and had “Ba Kut Teh”. A man who approached us to sell lottery ticket has scared bb. The man was very persistence even after we said NOT to buy; he went on to approach my maid and son instead and made bb cried so loud. BB was very upset and scared, I have never seen him so scared of a stranger before since he is always very friendly to people. He clangs on to me since then, I had to carry him during our shopping in Tesco Klang. I was thinking not to go to that concert but if I do that, my colleague is gonna kill me. Therefore, I had to

More conversation with bb

I brought home HL low fat milk. BB wanted to drink; he loves this fresh milk very much. He asks Sri to get his cup and tear the seal. This is his routine motor skills exercise. He then pours the milk into his blue cup slowly and steadily. After a while, I heard sound of something fell off from the kitchen, went to check, milk spilling on floor and table. Never mind, I did not scold him but told him to be more careful next time. 2 minutes later, “ping pong” cup and milk on the floor again, spitting milk out from his mouth some more. Argh! That’s it, he did it on purpose. I smacked his palm hard. He stared at me half-guilty, half-cheeky. Me: BB, good boy don’t do this, say sorry… BB: Sorry kakak Me: Say sorry mommy… BB: Papa Me: Say sorry mommy… BB: Papa Me: “B” (raising my voice), stop it, say sorry mommy BB: Sorry mommy Me: Say I won’t do it again BB: I won do it rgain. -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Me Bad Person

Before my Yoga class started last evening, I was hungry. Don’t know what heck went wrong with me nowadays, I feel hungry all the time. So I went to a near by food cafeteria thinking to grab a bun. I ordered to takeaway a walnut and raisin bun, it cost $2.10. The waiter packed the bread in a paper bag. I pinch a wee bit to put it in my mouth while waiting to sign my bill. The bill stated “Donut - $1.40”. I saw and signed it without making any noise and left. Oh God! What have I done? I don’t usually behave like this but I was in a bad mood. *Excuses* Have you been in a similar situation before? Do you just walk away or tell her she has made a mistake?

Ikea. Balloons. Pool.

Saturday We were at Ikea; I wanted to get a table lamp to work on my beading at night when bb sleeps. I let him play at a small children area in front of the customer service desk. He made friends with some kids there while me sitting at the long bench waiting for hub to finish his mail checking at the Starbucks. Our internet connection has been down for almost 2 weeks. He was very super pissed with the promising statement from TM net. “We will look into the matter” was what he gets for 2 weeks. I could hear him screwing them loud over the phone. Hubby can be very nasty at times. Again, who will not under this circumstance? After half and hour wait, we walked over to see hub and bb pointed at a stall selling balloons in front of Starbucks. What lovely twisted balloon they have, so colorful! There are flowers, pink panther, giraffe, poodle, and many more. Bb wanted the pink panther with flower but it cost $4, a little pricy. “Why not we buy a packet home and we do it ourselves?” He nodd

Do you give money to beggars?

As I lay flat on my Yoga mat, images of beggars on a damp street of the Friday Pasar malam flashing in my mind. A mother with a one-year-old child on her lap, he was drinking milk while another toddler sitting right beside her. She was digging her foot the time I saw her. Further up, there is another dark and skinny old man lying on a thin layer of cardboard. He put his palm together to form the prayer sign to passerby for sympathy. Beside him, it was packets of drink given by kind soul. I was going to give each of them a dollar. A gentle voice whispered to me. By the time I came back from all shopping, I left a 50 ringgit note and a one ringgit note. As I was nearer to the old man, I told bb to pass the money to the old man. He did, dropping the one ringgit in his plastic container. The old man shakes his hand hard to thank us. I feel so bad for the man. But then on a second thought, could he be a drug addict waiting for his fix? The mother again, I was not willing to give awa

The Soccer kid, NO. 36

Like any other children, 6pm is a heavenly time for Bb. He will drag his grandma to the near by park to let him move his butt and little feet for soccer ball kicking. He has build relationship with people around the park. For instance, there is this magician from Iraq exercising in the park. Occasionally bb would mimic his move and he would come smiling with “Hi, How are you?” Many grandparents bring children there to quench their playfulness with colorful kid’s gym equipments while elderly stretching their arms and feet of the day with an eye on their little one. I was with him yesterday for the first time. He put on his socks, shoes and sleeveless top with no. 36 printed on it. Yes, go 36! Mommy is here to watch you play. He showed me his power 36 and I cheered while recording his never to miss clips. Mil told me that sometimes he would buy ice cream for bb after the sweaty run in the park and not forgetting to grab a 4D ticket nearby as well. Her car number plate came out second pr

Don't disturb!

During dinner, mil was relating to me how bb has awareness of his little birdy bird and knows when it wakes up or sleeps. Below is a conversation happened between Po Po, BB and Kakak. Po Po : Do you want to pee? Kakak: Let kakak see… BB: Still sleeping, don’t disturb. (Referring to his penis not being erected) He Fans his palm outward to chase maid away- I didn’t know he can say “don’t disturb” haha... If he wants to pee, he will say BB: up oredy, pee pee....(run fanatically towards the toilet). Saturday, we stayed home the entire day. Sleep, eat and play together. Picture shown bb with his new underwear, wore it for a while only; seriously watching I think the Classic Mickey mouse show; Doodling using the art set I bought back then when he was not in this world yet. It's quite a good bargain for $10. It has two sets of crayon, color ink pen, color pencil, watercolor, a ruler, glue, a sharpener and brush. He was making good use of it by drawing on the art book and on his table.

夫妻之道

人类如鸟,有双翼,一翼是男,一翼是女。除非两翼健壮并以共同的力量来推动它,否则,这只鸟不能飞向天空。 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 夫妻两过日子要像一双筷子。一是谁也离不开谁;二是什么酸甜苦辣都能在一起尝。这种筷子只能是经久耐磨的象牙筷,而不是一次性方便筷。 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 令人不能自拔的,除了牙齿还有爱情。 Saw this in the email, thought it's quite meaningful and I need to remind myself of that.

Runaway

Dark hue befriended me this entire week. I was not “In the mood for work”. Everything around me seemed so quiet and static but not the noise in my head. I planned to runaway- escaping the pollution to treat my spirit to a little spa. (During off hour) Hah! I put on my headphones with (林宇中- 靠岸) playing. I am “In the mood of beading”, it has been a while since I last beaded. It is amazing to see lil meaningless beads evolving into something beautiful and useful. I am attempting for more exciting pieces soon. I think those rings look cute. What do you think? It is okay if you think otherwise as the saying goes beauty lies in the eye of the beholder.

Another comment of him

Bb: Gong Gong shirt dirty, bb shirt clean clean. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Showing his love for the maid (kakak) Bb: Po Po , carry… Po Po : Why? Po Po tired, kakak carry... Bb: No! Kakak tired, Po Po not tired. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- In the car before going to the park bb told Po Po Bb: Wait, don’t go! Wait for kakak. Sun has set and park is getting darker, grandma wants him to leave. He refused and said. Bb: Kakak, lights there (pointed to the streetlights), ong light. Po Po : cannot find the switch here, let us go home and on light. Kekeke…cheeky boy kena conned. ------------------------------------------------------------------------
