Self Service
2007-03-14 08:27:00
We lunch out today. 哥哥 wanted to eat roti prata and went ahead to order on his own. When the prata was ready, the prata-man gestured me to collect it. 哥哥 offered to get it since I needed to take care of 妹妹. I saw him walking slowing looking at the plate of gravy. He is worried the gravy will spill lah! The way he walked is so comical! Lucky, it wasn't crowded otherwise people will be cursing me for asking a kid to get his own food and blocking the traffic. I think it's good practice for him to prepare him for primary school. Now I have one thing lesser to worry.

Tag: 6 weird or quirky things about me
2007-03-13 09:10:00
I was tagged by Irene, Wenzel's Mummy to name 6 weird or quirky things about myself. Wow! I think this is tough. Maybe I didn't think anything about myself is weird.I think these are weird enough:I eat durian and strawberry but I don't eat durian/strawberry ice creams, cakes, puffs and kuehs.I can bear to see my own writing (I think it's not straight), so everything got to be printed where possible.I need to have bags in bag. 1 big bag with smaller bags and even smaller bags in them. Everything has to be in bags!The food in my fridge must be in ziploc bags or tupperwares and put on plastic trays.I can't lean against a wall. I keep thinking the wall will collapse and I'll fall.I make desserts for the family but I don't eat it myself.I would love to know 'weird' stuff of MontessoriMum, Sean Our Pride Our Joy and Cutie Princess Mummy

Cooking Joy and Woe
2007-03-13 08:10:00
the Skinny Cook featured one of my recipes, Sweet Chicken Wings, on his site again. This is the second time my recipes is being feature there. I was surprised on being asked to feature my recipes because I seriously don't think my recipes are that great to be featured in someone else's site. I have seen some really awesome recipes in the Net. Then Doris did that too. Wah ... these people really give me the booster to continue cooking. My family got to thank them for the dinner they are still having.Why did I say that? That's because sometimes, the way my family eat their dinner make me feel like giving up cooking all together. It's sad to sometimes having to throw away food. It's like throwing away my time, effort and money.My son said dinner is nice but he cannot finish his dinner (but at least I don't have to nag at him to take every bite now). My hubby said dinner is nice but cannot finish his dinner too. At times, he just gobble up his dinner. Eat like that can taste meh...

Hugs some more
2007-03-09 08:47:00
Remember sometime back I said 妹妹 loves to play the hugging game? Now she not only plays that but she also gives hugs as and when she feels like it, which is quite often. I can be cooking when 妹妹 suddenly turned up, looking up at me with her arms up. And she will be chanting hug, hug, hug ... Of course I have to hug her lah, so sweet! And it's usually finished with a loud 'muak' from her!哥哥 who doesn't want to lose out to 妹妹, has been giving out hugs too! Good influence huh?I'm soooo busy lately ..... receiving hugs and kisses! *grin*

Moving on to new stuff
2007-02-02 15:50:00
I think it's time for 妹妹 to move on to newer stuff other than English Card. I'm planning to make Chinese Cards and simple Maths equations to try out with her. 爸爸 will want be to buy ready made ones from Popular Bookshop but with the speed 妹妹 is learning, it will cost a bomb. This time, I do hope 哥哥 will be interested to learn too.See 妹妹's progress after 3 weeks of flashing ...

妹妹 knows her ABCs
2006-12-26 03:09:00
I was playing with 妹妹 when she suddenly said "I". I thought she was babbling again. Then she walked to pick up something she saw on the floor. It's the letter "I"! Then she picked up some more and say it out as she picked them up.Oooo! It made me so happy! What a wonderful Anniversary present this is!

I'm a big girl now!
2006-12-04 06:00:00
I didn’t make lunch today and we ate out. It was disastrous! This time it was 妹妹. She insisted on eating on her own. Not that I mind, at least now I can have my lunch while it’s hot but it’s really messy. I just hoped that the cleaners don’t curse me when I leave. Well, I guess it’s about time I bring out 哥哥’s old bibs. I haven’t had to use them on 妹妹 before. I hope I still can find them.When we leave, this girl refused to sit in the pram. Lucky 哥哥 was around to push the pram. Instead of walking, she ran! Still can shout, “Run!” as she ran! Then she fell and hurt her knees. She got up and continued running. Sigh! Guess what happened when I bathed her? She cried, “Pain! Pain! There!” Pointing to her knees. What to do? Told you not to run already. Video of 妹妹 having dinner on her own ...

Big Business
2006-11-23 04:06:00
妹妹 has this funny habit of doing her big business whilst standing. Maybe it’s because her poo is usually hard, so it’s easier. I started toilet training 哥哥 when he was around 妹妹’s age now. I let him sit on the potty seat (on top of the adult W.C.) everyday at around the same time to let him try to poo.For 妹妹, it’s a different case. She is reluctant to poo at specific timing. Maybe of her hard poo again. So I have to catch her while she is trying to ‘force it out’. So far I have been successful twice but I have to sit with her!!Sigh! 妈妈 now has a new role – Poo Catcher!!!

Twinkley Star
2006-10-18 16:36:00
When I was pregnant with ??, ?? used to sing Twin kle Twinkle Little Star s to my belly button every night. I told him ?? loved to hear him sing. The funny thing was each time he sang, the then fetus, ??, would stop kicking and moving, as if she quiet down to listen to ?? sing. When ?? was borned, ?? would still sing the song when she cried and she would really stop crying to listen. Till this day, Warren will still sing the same old song every time ??made noise. Now ?? no longer stop to listen but ?? still continue singing to her. My dear dear ??!This is the complete lyrics to the song:Twinkle, Twinkle, Little StarJane Taylor wrote the lyrics in 1806 Twinkle, twinkle, little star,How I wonder what you are.Up above the world so high,Like a diamond in the sky.Twinkle, twinkle, little star,How I wonder what you are!When the blazing sun is gone,When he nothing shines upon,Then you show your little light,Twinkle, twinkle, all the night.Twinkle, twinkle, little star,How I wonder what you a...

妹妹 the 姐姐
2006-08-23 07:11:00
We met our new neighbour at the void deck at the ground level. The grandma was with QiQi 妹妹 who’s 1 year younger than 妹妹.妹妹 was so excited to see her. She went to sayang her and even hugs her. All these, she did so gently. I’m so surprised because she has never did this to any of us before. Maybe she can differentiate that QiQi is a baby and she has to be gentle like how her 哥哥treats her. But then again 哥哥 can be quite tough with 妹妹. Hmm. When I tried to carry her home, she got angry! She only 'moved'; when QiQi goes home too. Sigh!Before QiQi went in to her house, 妹妹 didn’t forget to give her one last hug! Where did she learn to do all these?

哥哥 the Graffitist
2006-08-22 07:11:00
I just realized there are purple lines on my sofa, courtesy of 哥哥. To cover-up his crime, he uses cushions to cover it. Sigh! The furniture in the house has all his abstract artworks on it. Seems like he thinks drawing papers and white board are not good enough for him to showcase his talents. Wait till his father sees his artwork. I don’t think he will please with them.

妹妹's 1st Haircut by Hairdresser
2006-08-06 02:13:00
I brought 妹妹 to a saloon for a hair cut. She has wavy thick hair and it's out of shaped. I'm going to miss tying hair but at least she will look neater. I was surprised she did not cry. I thought she will resist being 'wrap up' and with hair dropping all over her face, she will start making noise. It was not that bad. She only started to wriggle towards the end when she gets bored sitting quietly. I didn’t like the hairstyle. I don’t think she looks nice. Maybe that because I can't play with her hair now. It's ok. Her hair will grow.

妹妹’s first pair of shoes
2006-07-20 21:06:00
2 weeks ago, my 爸爸 bought 妹妹 a pair of shoes. She has never like to put on socks or soft shoes. Everytime I put on for her when we go out, she will pull it out and throw.As usual, when I put on the new pair of walking shoes for her, she immediately tried to pull it out. I let her stand on the ground and she still kept looking at her feet, kicking away. I think she got used to it now.Every morning, I’ll put on the shoes for her and we will send 哥哥 to school together. When we reached the school, I’ll let her come down, holding her with one hand, she will walk 哥哥 to his classroom, wave to him, then walk back to the door. She has been doing this since we got the shoes. The teachers there commented that she walks like a ballerina tip-toeing as she walks.She’s getting better now though she still prefers to crawl. Faster lah.
