Wild Child

It was an agitating night and morning for me. First, boy was delaying his usual task before going to bed and in the morning, he was playing water in the sink while his sister was waiting for him to be shuffled to school in the car.  This sparked a voice inside my head, “What can I do to change his behaviour?” He is interested in TV, games, toys and anything else but study. As a fulltime-working mum, it can be quite tired after a whole day of work. Dragging my tired and at times stress mind to study with him can be overwhelming as he needed to be called upon many times before he is willing to move his body to the study room. Worried, I searched the net for my former teacher Dr. Earnest Wong. Yea, I was lucky enough to be trained by him many years back when I was still a college girl. Many people including my own husband do not believe in this kind of workshop or seminar. Hubby thinks it’s for the weak mind. He thinks we get brainwash and would have no help. I think...

Does your man grow grumpier as he gets older?

Does your man grow grumpier as he gets older? A friend shared with me over lunch table that her brother-in-law criticise a lot lately, very judgemental and angry. Daily conversations will be filled with petty argument. This is nothing new to me as I have one who reacted that way at home. Sometimes a good day can turn awfully bad due to very minor issue and if I tried arguing, I will get all kinds of crude remarks. So I choose to keep quiet with hope that things will get better and it does get better sometimes but not all the time. Women has PMS, men has their “WIND” too when they are stress with responsibilities in life.  I believe everyone has stress, some people handle it better but some don’t. It also depends on one’s life encounters. Imagine dealing with a stressful Hainanese man...

I don't want to go to school

Last night before going to bed, lil girl told me that she doesn't want to go to school. I thought she was just being manja and tired. This morning, she cried in the car when school approaching. I was quite puzzled and at the same time wondering something must have happened in school.  True enough, when I told the teacher about her story, she explained to me that they were writing in school and she was slow and can't finish her work. As far as I know, the teacher was kind and very loving and knows what she was doing.  I hope lil girl could cope with this and don't be too stress over it. Ivan had the same experience as well but he is doing fine now.  Sometimes, there would be no improvement without tiny bit of stress, guess she just have to cope with it.

Think of money

My lil boy was getting furious when neither daddy nor me answer to his queries. “I hate this family…” he shouted. Oopss…we stop talking and looked at him. “You guys don’t care about me”, he continued. Darling… daddy and mummy is thinking of ways to make more money, what do you want, tell us now? “You mean he thinks of money and not of his kids?” (Totally unexpected) I have to quickly explain: “No, no…Daddy think of money so he can provide a better life for you and mei mei, he thinks of money so that he has all the money to get you games and Bayblade that you wanted. 

What is this mummy?

In the middle of the night, Adel uttered – “What is this? Mummy what is this?” I woke up lazily to on the light and saw her holding Ivan’s hand and slept beside him. “It’s kor kor’s hand dell” I said, she blurrily stepped back to her own bed, which is just beside her brother’s and continue to enjoy her sleep. She had asked to sleep on her own bed for the past 3 days and so far she slept well, guess she has grown up and decided to give back some privacy and space to her mum and dad after occupying them since her birth. Time passes by so quickly; she is now entering 3 years 5 months. She sings “ Twinkle twinkle little lamb” not star because her favourite show is Timmy Time. She loves drawing; I kept some of her doodles – quite impressive.
