Update

Gosh! He is still crying after 2 weeks. I spoke to my sister a couple of days ago telling her my concern over bb’s behaviour. When ask by daddy or mil whether he cries in school; bb’s answer is always “NO! I never cry”, uttered with confidence. In fact, he cries furiously when I drop him to school daily. His excuses before leaving with the teacher are either, “I want to go back or I want mommy or I want my kakak…”.

Sis told me to boil an egg and keep it in his school bag; he will be okay in 2 weeks. Err…I have no idea why, it was a myth she heard from elder woman to soothes kids from crying to school. Has anyone heard of this tale before? Does it work was my immediate question to her. Well obviously, she said it worked for her 3rd child. I am very doubtful la but still I asked Sri to boiled one this morning for bb to bring to school. I am keeping my fingers cross. *counting- 1,2 3, 4, 5….eggs need to be boiled b4 he stops crying, wah, who is gonna eat those eggs???*

Of late, I have been seriously thinking about quitting my job after the 2nd one arrive. I am very disappointed with my achievement at this stage. I could not understand how I can stand doing this for close to 2 years. I have plans for the future; I am planting my roots now. It’s okay if others don’t understand, but I know for sure it’s gonna materialize when the time comes. I am very glad daddy is supportive of my decision.

Daddy is very sweet; he bought me Lo Hong Ka bird’s nest over the weekend. It comes with 10 sachets of pearl powder and another small bottle of bird’s nest FREE. There is a Chinese New Year promotion running. We bought ours at 1U. Well, let’s hope bb no 2. and my skin glow after consuming the expensive bird’s saliva. Yummy!

Never heard of the boil egg tale. Could it because he's got no friends in school? I rmb my niece used to hate school, low gai, cry, acted sick you name it but when he found himself good buddies in school all tt seemed to disappear.

The teacher might be laughing when they saw the egg. :)

One girl in YC class, never cry during the first few days but started crying in the morning in the second week but eventually stop after enter the class room.

From my observation, most of the kids stop crying after their parent left and settled down in the class after a while. I think bb behave the same, he might have stop crying after you left.

I never believe in those myth. Believe me, BB will definately stop crying one day, even tho you don't boil eggssss daily!
Tracy said…
Haiyo, u do believe in dat? Never heard of dat lar. So u got to buy lots of eggs for keeps and boil everyday until BB stops crying?

No worries, I'm sure he'll stop crying when he's accustomed with the environment and friends around him. My girl was like dat too but now she tells me she got a very good friend and she wants to go to school to see and play with her.

Wah, u are one lucky lady. How nice and sweet of hubby to buy Lo Hong Ka's bird's nest for. *thinking oso makes me swallow my saliva*

Jeferene,
I thought so too la, he can't be crying all the time. And the most amazing thing is he wanted to draw everyday using his color pencil and he showed us how he counts using his fingers. I think u r right.

beckysmum,
Ya, u r right. those are old lady tales I guess.

Dinner. Stranger.

LAST NIGHT was MIL’s birthday. We went for a simple dinner at Mt. Kiara, a Taiwanese restaurant. Bb was excited to be out as usual, trying to show off how to operate his Bob the Builder’s bottle to uncle Jo, Bil. He has been sipping water from that bottle ever since daddy purchased it, which is good, no more bottles in public. He also created rapport with waiter and waitresses there. There was a fat uncle got so fond of him and present-ed him a chopstick holder. (Like that also can. Hah!) Bb showed it to me, it was in the shape of a Japanese koi fish. I told him to return it to uncle, Sri told me he returned but uncle insisted he kept it. UR! Okay! “Well, then you can keep it” I told him. Later, he came to me telling he was scared. I asked him why, he told me the BIG BIG uncle scary. Actually according to Sri, that uncle wanted to carry him, he got scared. Mil told me this - Once a stranger offer to carry bb, he wanted to go with stranger, mil threatened him that if he goes, he will ne
