Who's sick now?
2007-04-23 08:05:00
My kids has been sick for the past week. They have not fully recovered yet but at least they are so much better. I just hope their appetite will improved too. ?? simply refuse to eat anything other than fish balls. At least ?? is eating in small portions.Anyway, I thought I was very strong. Hahaha. But I was very wrong. I just couldn't win the battle from virus the 2 kids released. Now, I'm having a very bad sore throat and sneezing constantly. Sigh. I guess I have to 'donate' some money to the clinic liao. In the mean time, the kids will see me walking around them with a mask on. I don't want to pass it back to them.

Urgh! We are ill!
2007-04-16 06:54:00
The kids have been free of illness this year till now. 哥哥 has been coughing for more than 2 weeks and we have been to the GP twice - no improvement. Then he passed it to 妹妹.Poor girl had phlegm stuck in the throat and has a very bad running nose. It must be 'tickling' her because she couldn't sleep and just keep coughing till she throw up the phlegm. She has been throwing up 4 to 5 times at night for the passed 3 nights. She couldn't eat and drink too because I think her throat must be very sore from the coughing. GP's medication didn't work too.I let 哥哥 skipped school today and bought them to the Paediatrician at Gleneagles. 爸爸 has a very important meeting with the CEO of HDB so I'm on my own. These 2 don't look and behave anything like they are sick. I have to chase them all over the place and I'm like half dead now. Maybe I'm the one who needs a doctor.Anyways, the Pead said 妹妹 should be better if her running nose clears. The mucus flowed back to her...

Love my hair?
2007-04-13 08:12:00
Every time 妹妹 get noticed on the street and get commented is of her hair!! They love her hair!I like straight hair because it's so much easier to manage and neater looking. But I have to admit, if I see someone else's daughter or granddaughter with hair like 妹妹's, I would love it too! Thick and with big curls which are only at the ends. Some people thought I had her hair permed!Don't you love it? ...... *shameless*

Carton Playhouse
2007-04-12 04:48:00
I kept the big carton from the washer we bought, thinking of using it as a craft material to make a playhouse. The kids can't wait. See what they did with it? I don't think I can make the house looking at the condition of the carton now. It will not pass the building inspection.

Wheeee .... We're having fun!
2007-04-09 08:05:00
I have decided to let my trusty Thomson washing machine of nine years to finally rest in peace. It's still working but it made so much noise I worried my neighbours would lodge a complain on me. Since it's so costly to get it repaired, I might as well get a new one. This time I bought a cheap Japanese made one. Thank you, Tommy, for serving the family for so many year. Time for you to take a long break.I persuaded my hubby to go to IMM (we went there to get out washer) early yesterday so the kids can have fun at the playground. I'm not sure how long we were at the playground but when it was time to go, they made soooo much noise. My poor kids! They seldom go to the playground because the one near our place is always being vandalised and I worried that something might break while playing.We left only after lunch and this 妹妹 was so beat that she fell asleep on my lap on the way home. That was after she struggled so much to get away from my arms. She had to lie down to sleep, si...

Meow is C-A-T
2007-04-07 04:02:00
I did some flash cards to teach 哥哥 spelling. I end up not using them because the results were slow and we didn't have time because these words will be tested in school.I didn't want to waste the cards I have prepared so I used it on 妹妹 instead. And boy was I surprised when I heard her saying "c-a-t, cat" few days ago out of the blue! I asked her again but she refused to say it again. Wow! Wow! Wow! Can't wait for her to spell to me again.

Spelling and 听写
2007-04-07 03:45:00
哥哥's school has started giving spelling and 听写 this month. Every Tuesday for spelling and Thursday for 听写. Homework has also increased. Now I have to spend more time coaching me. I think I'm going to have to cut down my PC time.So far, he had had 1 spelling with full marks and 2 听写 with the 1st one having a mistake and the 2nd one full marks too. I'm surprise he didn't get all right the 1st time because he already know the word. But I'm proud of him because he at least make an effort to practise (almost) everyday.Let's just hope his hardworking habit continues.

Happy Birthday, 哥哥
2007-04-02 08:07:00
哥哥 turned 5 yesterday. It's no April's Fool joke okay. We went to Swensen's at Jurong Point to celebrate his birthday.We always go there because it's spacious and the staff there is friendly, the service is good and we don't have to wait very long for your food. The staff there even came over to sing the birthday song to 哥哥. 妹妹 was so stunned by the loud singing and clapping, she began to cry! It was so funny!We had a great time! Lucky it fell on Sunday otherwise, we won't be able to do it. We have decided to go there again on 妹妹's birthday which is the last Sunday of this month. Yippee! Ice-cream for me again!To my son ...You don't understand the hardship 妈妈 went through when I was pregnant with you. Someday, you will. When it's finally time for you to meet us, you refused to come out. Everyone thought it was an April's Fool joke when I told them you are finally here to meet the world.Now, that you are 5, I really do hope you will continue to be a good...

Tag: Why I married my husband?
2007-03-31 18:45:00
I was tagged by Nicole on the reasons why I married my man. Must list 10 reasons. Surely there will be more than 10. We have been together for 18 years (8 years courtship + 10 years marriage) now. We both love the same kind of music and song. He used to play the drums and I used to play the guitar. Some match huh! But never played together before. I did teach him some basic guitar notes and we played together before. Such fun!We both like rock and roll and cha-cha. We even took lessons together before we were married.He sings very well mostly Cantonese song because he's a Cantonese. He was twice crowned the Champ in his company's karaoke competitions. He's sweet. He enjoys going shopping with me and I enjoy going shopping with him too. He doesn't mind going to the lingerie section too. He even bought clothes for me on his own before and it wasn't a bad choice. He buys me flowers till I told him I really don't want them anymore because I find it a waste of money.He's very hard...

Quiz: Who’s Your Celebrity Chef Match?
2007-03-29 07:44:00
I took the Who’s Your Celebrity Chef Match ? quiz to find out who which celebrity chef I am most like . . . and my celebrity chef match is Emeril Lagasse. I got to find out more about him now. Hehehe ... Bam! When it comes to whipping up something in the kitchen, you're rarely afraid to kick it up a notch. That's why your celebrity chef match is Emeril Lagasse, the king of notch-kicking. While some may be a little intimidated by cooking and recipes, you tend to have fun in the kitchen (and in life), throwing caution (and sometimes even recipes) to the wind. After all, it's only food.To you, the most important thing is to have a good time, which is why you probably enjoy sharing your culinary enthusiasm with friends and family. When you do entertain, you have a knack for throwing a little heart into everything you prepare — and there's no better ingredient in the world. So, what do you think of the results?

You don't even need to bring thick winter clothes. Just wear a sun shirt, shorts, slippers and don't forget the sunglasses too!Now back to my wish. Could I have a pair of wings, even for just one day? I desperately need to fly away for a break! I'm going bonkers!So, how is it? Could you fulfill my desperate wish, please!!! You need a break too, don't you?Hope to see you on Easter Sunday!With lots of love,WokkingMum

I died while shopping ...
2007-03-22 05:51:00
Well, I almost died of exhaustion while out getting a gift for 哥哥's ex-classmate's little brother's birthday. It's this Saturday and 爸爸 can't promise he will be back home early so we could all go together to get the gift or I could go on my own after settling the kids to bed. But for the past few days he has been arriving home late. I don't want to go to the party empty handed. So since the weather was good - not raining, I thought I could bring the kids and get a gift on my own. How difficult can that be?Bad move! I didn't even bring my sarong along because the trip wasn't planned. Double bad move!! Once we reach the toy store, this girl just dashed in, bring down toys from shelves like she was in her own house. Of course I have to pack after her otherwise I might get chase out. I don't even have time to look around.In the end I bought a gift I found educational (and I'll go get another one for my kids this weekend when 爸爸 is not working) and most importantly,...

New bed for me!
2007-03-20 02:53:00
I moved 哥哥's old children bed from the playroom to our room for 妹妹. Her playpen was so torn she could actually roll out of it. Too dangerous. It was a tiring job moving the bed alone plus I got to watch out for the kids. Luckily, I don't have to do this often.I asked 爸爸 to bring back some planks from his site so I could use it to block up the bed. Otherwise 妹妹 will fall out. I used wallpaper to wrap it. Hehehe ... Nice? Looks like the sky.I was worried that 妹妹 wouldn't want to sleep in there. I was preparing to sleep with her but she was okay with her new bed. She did move about a lot at first because it's so much roomy now then she quiet down and went to sleep. 爸爸 said to let her have her own room in half a year time. I going to miss the morning wake up calls and smiles then. 妹妹 having a drink before nap time. Sweet Dreams

哥哥's First Dentist Visit
2007-03-19 08:34:00
I have been planning to bring 哥哥 to the Dentist for quite some time. He has this bad habit of biting his toothbrush and his toothbrush need to be replace every 1-2 weeks. And he doesn't brush properly. So I thought bring him to the Dentist and let the dentist talk to him will be more efficient. hahaha ...His dental appointment was fixed today after school. He was okay for his visit. Maybe he was already mentally prepared. The only thing he wanted was to have me accompanied him in. After the cleaning, he told me to bring him to the Dentist everyday so he can get his teeth cleaned by the Dentist! He said his teeth now - very clean!

妹妹 just love to see the numbers showing up on the lift (floor) display unit. But because we stay on the lower floors she never had the chance to count very much. Today, while using the lift, I press on the highest floor - 16 to let her have the chance to see and count. I think she was very happy because her counting became louder and louder. Luckily, there isn't anyone else except us. She could count to 13! The rest were all something teen. I couldn't understand them! 13 is not too bad!Ohh, I have always wanted to put this down. 妹妹 can't prononuce the word 'open'. She kept saying p-pen! Hahaha! When I told her, it's Ooo-pen. She would say Oooo.... p-pen. Ai yo! P comes after O. That's why!

Tricycle Fun
2007-03-16 02:20:00
Riding the tricycle (at home) has been one of the regular past time for the kids during this school holidays. They want to ride in the morning, afternoon and evening. They had fun but I'm tired because I had to help push them. It was too difficult for 哥哥 to paddle when 妹妹 is sitting on the tricycle too. Luckily, I didn't bring them downstairs to paddle because 妹妹 didn't want to stop and she will scream her lungs out when I said stop. I think this activity will carry on till they either get bore or they find something more interesting.
