Boy acting out a song

2006-08-07T17:46:00.000+08:00

Here's a video on Boy acting out a song by The Wiggles. The way he does the "Shh shh shh" is really adorable.

disturb nights

2006-07-26T18:24:00.000+08:00

Mommy have been woken up 2-3 times everynight since 1 year ago. The reason for these awakings is not due to hunger. Everynight, Boy will cry ... don't know for what reason .. and Mommy will stuff him with water and he'll be quiet after that. Sometimes about an hour or so later, he'll start all over again. Following that, Princess would be asking for water (sometimes once or twice a night). If Mommy is lucky, she would have a peaceful undisturbed sleep for a day or two and the 'process' will start all over again. And lucky Daddy ... couldn't hear a single thing ... snoring all the way. Sometimes when Mommy is wicked (and tired), she'll ignore the whinings and cryings (slap Daddy on the arm - signalling him to attend to them) but most of the time she's kind. An example of yesterday night .. normally Princess with be sleeping with Boy in one mattress ... Mommy and Daddy in another. For whatever reason, these two days Princess have been rather sticky when it comes to bedtime. She would want to sleep in-between us. I was fine ... I let her. Halfway thru her sleep in the middle of the night, she (and Mommy) was awaken by Daddy's snoring. I whacked Daddy on his back to make him stop snoring (wicked huh!). Princess told me to carry her. I told her "No la Princess Titi (brother) is sleeping on his own - see) and told her to go back to sleep on her on. She told me "Mommy I cannot sleep on my own". So, Mommy had to lay Princess on her chest like she used to when Princess was a baby. Within minutes she was asleep. Every night I hope to have a peaceful sleep ... but at the back of my mind, I'm always prepared to be woken up. The sacrifice a Mommy .... :)

mommy is touched!

2006-07-25T11:29:00.000+08:00

21st July 2006: Every weekday when we came home, I would ask the kids to wash their legs in the bathroom. As usual Princess will request to do it herself. When she came out, I wiped her and told her to take her clothes and pants. Normally she's independant but today she decided to throw a tantrum by saying excuses like she doesn't know and "Mommy do". I was in a bad mood and scolded her. I was continuously scolding her and she was continuously whining and crying. I ignored her tantrum. Finally she stopped crying. I explained to her that she shouldn't throw tantrum like that .. giving her the example of the girl in the "I'm so mad" book. Its a good book that teaches children about managing feelings. Its one of her favourite books. She seem to understand my explanation. I gave her a hug and she said "I Love You Mommy". At first I didn't get what she was saying and asked her to repeat it twice. *Stupid mommy isn't it* I was so touched ... my heart melted. Mommy felt warm all over .. ahh. 23rd July 2006: Daddy had a football match so we decided to go to my sis house. Princess was bugging me to go since 9am in the morning. We reached there after lunch. Boy slept an hour but Princess didn't even take a wink. In the evening about 4pm, I decided to leave the kids at my sis to get some things at Giant. Princess said she wanted to follow me, knowing that she must be sleepy, so I took her along without telling Boy. Afraid that he'll cry. So we left. When I went back to my sis's place, she told me that he must have realised that I went missing and went crying in front of the door. When I saw him, I greeted him "Hello Boy". He was happily eating and when he saw me his expression shifted to his crying and weepy mood. Gosh ... I asked him ... "WHy are you crying Boy? You miss Mommy is it?". He nodded and said "Em (yes)". I hugged him ... "Mommy miss you too. No more crying ok". Its great to be a Mommy ... "They" make you feel so important isn't it??!?!

Kiddy rides

Continuation from Cassandra's birthday party (15th July 2006) .. the kiddy rides after dinner. Princess on her own Boy with Shane 'kor kor'

Another bz weekend

2006-07-18T17:15:00.000+08:00

15th July 2006: Cassandra, 6 had a birthday party at Starship Galactica, 1U. The kids enjoyed themselves so much ... started playing at 4pm until 8pm .... non-stop. Sometimes I wonder where they get the energy from!! By 7pm I was already hungry and tired .. so I rested. Princess came to me ... Princess: Mommy .. come play with me. Mommy: I'm tired Princess. Mommy want to rest here. Princess: Mommy .. you play with me ... you sit only. Mommy: No la Princess ... Mommy is tired .. you play with the rests la. Princess: It's nice ... (with that innocent look on her face) Mommy: *roll eyes* ok ok little while only .. we go eat after that ok. Princess: Yay!!! Boy eating on his own with lots of improvement .. not much messes Princess enjoying her sausage After the party, we had dinner in Esquire Kitchen with my sisters and families. Outside the restaurant, they have these animal kiddy rides that Princess used to fear but surprisingly seeing everyone on .. she wanted to get on. She was riding all by herself. The kids fell asleep right after they finished their milk in the car. Extremely tired! We reached home at 11pm ... what a night! 16th July 2006: As usual on a Sunday we'll have dinner at my mom's. Today Princess brought some toys over to play. When we were about to go home, Princess packed up her own toys into the box. There was a ball that was still lying around. Cassandra took the rests of the toys out and put the ball in. I asked Cassandra ... Me: Cassandra you took all the toys out and put the ball in ... then what's gonna happen to the rests of the toys? Cannot fit in. Cassandra: (Attempt to put the rest of the toys in) Princess: (Ran over to where I was) I show you Cassandra (Took out the ball, put the rests of the toys in, put in the ball and said) See see cannot fit in. Me: *sniggering* (cheeky girl) When my sis was about to go home she said to us ... Sis: Bye People Princess: (Look at her and said casually) My name is not people Sis: (Laughing - looking at me) What kind of kid is this?!!? Me: Hahaha Kids nowadays are really different .. the way they look at things and the way they talk its like an adult. They are much smarter that us when we were their age!

The way the kids rested their legs when they fall asleep in the car. No wonder they are siblings!!

vain pot

2006-07-18T17:06:00.000+08:00

8th July 2006: After the kids bath this morning, Princess took out the box of clips and asked me to clip for her. So I did .. and look at the number of clips and scrungy she insisted me to put on for her. Aiy! Girls are vain.

sorry baby

2006-07-12T16:53:00.000+08:00

Last night while getting them ready for bed upstairs, Princess left her babydoll on the table. She took the babydoll and told 'her' "Oops sorry baby I forgot to bring you to the bed". Hehe she sounded so cute.

routine on weekdays

2006-07-12T16:36:00.000+08:00

Weekday routines upon reaching home .... Sterilise bottles Sterilising the bottles would be our 1st priority. Wash kids clothes (in the machine) The dirty clothes from the nursery will be brought back home to wash ... in a washing machine of course!! Switch on TV for kids The kids will ask for their VCDs/DVDs .. mostly consists of Barney, Teletubbies, Rubberdubbers, Kipper, nursery rhymes and so on. Switch on TV for Mommy/Daddy Its either chinese series/sitcoms or sports. Set bottles Bottles to set up just in case Darien demands for milk early. Its always difficult to say .. his appetite is unpredictable. Fold clothes The clothes that was dried the day before will be folded today. It will be put into the nursery bags to be brought over the next day. Eat dinner We'll usually take dinner at about 9 to 9 plus. Bedtime By 10.30pm the kids will adjourn upstairs for their bedtime books and milk. Tedious day after work??!!?! Not so much comparing that their much older now. When they were much younger we had to hang dozens of cloth nappies and also folding them and not forgetting the number of milk feeds they require. Life is definitely much better now!

funny behaviour

2006-07-05T14:04:00.000+08:00

Scene 1 The nursery caregiver, Ms Ng related to be about this incident about Lil Darien. He didn't finish his lunch and went straight to the kitchen and ask for apple. The aunty told him to finish his rice first. He nicely finishes his rice and ask for apple. Aunty said not yet .. had to drink some water. When the aunty went out. He drank some and poured it onto his pants and told another aunty .. "Shh shh". Such a cheeky boy!! Scene 2 Whenever Darien doesn't get his way with things. He'll scold them by resting his left hand on his hip and pointing his forefinger at the person who's scolding him. Like how I scold them. Hehe. So cute. Too bad I was not there to witness. My mom related the same incident to me the other day when my sis forbid him from playing with chairs. It was really funny.

Developments

2006-07-05T10:29:00.000+08:00

Thank you Boy has been a pro in saying his "Thank yous". Like yesterday .. I passed him his water, he said "Than yu" .... at night, I made him milk .. he said "Than yu". Pain Pain Last night, I went to my gynae and did Implanon. I had a plaster on the wound. After taking a bath ... I replaced with a new plaster. While doing that Boy came to me and said "Mommy pain pain .. pain pain" and he had a "painful" expression on his face. Ah really melts my heart. Princess told me "Mommy .. quickly put plaster .. pain pain". These two little devils really brighten up my day. Words These are the few words Boy is saying pay = PLAY than yu = THANK YOU pis = PLEASE ren = RAIN pain = PAIN memmy = MOMMY daddee = DADDY popo = maternal granma kungkung = maternal granpa yee ma = aunty yee yee = aunty ah ma = paternal granpa kung = paternal granpa book = BOOK read = READ sit sit = SWEET SWEET eat = EAT and the list goes on ....

1..2..3..4...........15

2006-06-30T17:28:00.000+08:00

Princess is getting real good in counting her numbers now. She used to count 1 ... 2 ... 3 .... 5 .... 9 ... 10. Now she's good .. really good. Mommy and Daddy are really proud. :) Pictures taken at Las Carretas, USJ Taipan A mexican restaurant that I would recommend. The food serving is generous and the price is reasonable. The most important thing ... the food is delicious! *Smack* Boy nicked Princess's nuggets. Greedy bum! Princess enjoying her nuggets Nice taco .. simply delicious!

M for McDonalds

2006-06-29T22:23:00.000+08:00

When I picked up the kids earlier, I didn't have dinner yet. So I decided to get a quick one from McD's drive-thru. Upon reaching there, from afar Princess said ... Princess: Mommy ... M for McDonalds. Mommy: Yes ah ... M is for McDOnalds? Princess: Yes Mommy ... M for McDonalds. Boy: Ah ah .... Donald's. Mommy: Yes .. clever girl. Yes Titi (brother) ... McDonalds. *grin*

Wave wave

2006-06-27T10:06:00.000+08:00

We were driving back as usual from the nursery and all of a sudden Boy started to wave at a bus. Then I turned ... I saw there few girls waving at him from inside the bus. And from then on, whenever he sees a bus, he'll start waving. Goodness! I told him "Boy please don't wave at strangers". He ignored me and continued waving. :Þ

Bz Weekend

2006-06-25T17:48:00.000+08:00

24th June 2006: Barney & friends are in town again. Princess have been pestering me to go Barney's concert. We arrived there at around 12.30pm. The show was supposed to start on a daily basis at 1pm, 3pm, 5pm and 7pm. Its only a half hour sing and dance. Since the kids had a bottle of milk before arriving, so we catch the 1pm show. Upon arriving there .. it was packed like sardines. OMG! Mommy and Daddy (growling stomachs ... !!) carried the kids for a whole 30 minutes. Princess was a bit scared at the beginning but when the show ended she wanted to watch again. We told her we would come back at 3pm. She agreed and we went for lunch at Genki Sushi. Hmm ... I must be so hungry ... I find the stuff sushi beancurd is very very nice. Anyway .. we had a great lunch and decided to reach there 15 minutes earlier. Goodness .. its still packed. We let Princess into the stage area. Actually she wanted us to be there but we told her mommies and daddies are not allowed there. I told her we will be there nearby. Boy doesn't want to be with his sis at all. He was crying and crying. Poor Daddy had to carry him again the whole time. Princess was really enjoying herself there ... singing dancing and following their movements. So cute. Mommy is of course busy taking pictures. It was quite difficult trying to get a good focus because of the crowd. Hmm not bad ... watch two shows in a row FOC comparing to the last time we paid RM200 over. Hehe ... kiasu Mommy! Baby K-Zen's Full Moon: We attended a YL's full moon lunch at Marco Polo Restaurant KL. Right after lunch, we walked over to Starbucks for a drink. The kids were happily running everywhere .. climbing tables and chairs. Hmm .. yummy brownie!! Cheeky Boy! Climbing on the table

2006-06-19T10:38:00.000+08:00

Daddy celebrated twice ... once on 17th at my mom's and 18th with me. 17th June 2006: My mom did roast chicken, salad and some mash potatoes. We bought a Chocolate cake. Simply delicious! Yummy! 18th June 2006: We put the kids at my mom's and went for dinner to celebrate Daddy's birthday which actually falls on the 19th. Actually, we wanted to go for the Japanese restaurant at Sheraton Subang but it was fully booked. So, we settled for Holiday Villa Subang. After dinner we had a drink at a pub in USJ9 watching the world cup (yeah! how romantic) .... :)

Happenings on 3/6/06 & 8/6/06

2006-06-10T18:58:00.000+08:00

3rd June 2006: Baby Ashley's 1st Birthday Bash We were all invited to Baby Ashley's 1st birthday bash at Marmalade Cafe, Mont Kiara. Ashley was dressed in a cute little pink dress. The food is simply delicious especially the quiche. Princess didn't eat much though. She was busy play at the children enclosed area. Needless to say Boy was happily muching away. the little bday girl the busy bees playing with toys 8th June 2006: Aquaria The nursery was closed for a 1 week break. So the kids were at home the whole week with Mommy. I cooked for the kids the whole week. I looked at recipes and ask my mom for advice on what to cook for them. Its been 4 days and I happy to say I did quite ok. They love my food. They finish all their food everyday. *grinning* Today Daddy took the day off and we took the kids to Aquaria. Goodness .. we lined up for a good 40 minutes. Totally crazy - school holiday! The kids enjoyed looking at the fishes, insects and reptiles. Initially Princess was excited but when we reached the tunnel, she told us she's scared. On the way out, we bought some souvenirs. Boy was so tired that by the time we reach the car he was already asleep. Near one of the shark tanks

2006-06-02T17:57:00.000+08:00

30th May 2006: I brought Princess to Kidzsports again together with Cassandra and Aedan - my niece and nephew. They had their usual crazy time there. The last time when Princess was there .. I had to change her panty thrice 'cos she had a bit of leakage. This time Mommy is smarter ... told her to put on the diapers. Its bad I know but imagine how many panties I'll have to bring. Other than playing when we go shopping, she'll be wearing her panties. When the time comes for her to wee, she'll let me know and I'll open up her personal potty for her to do her deed. Training to be a gymnast!!!

Daddy's been into LOTR: The 3rd Age game recently. He's been playing almost every night until 2-3am ... even on a weekday! When Daddy was away for a drink, the kids will take over his game and pretend that they are playing. Princess will go something like .... "See I kill the monster already". Who is the culprit????? Aha!!!!! Here he is.

grown-up toilet

2006-05-24T15:19:00.000+08:00

I have tried many attempts to putting our Princess on the potty to poo but to no avail. She will still wait for her diaper to be put-on just before bedtime and does her 'deed'. One day I told her ... "Princess, if you're a good girl, poo in the potty then mommy will buy you a present". I kept reminding her for a few days. And the day finally came ... she told me "Mommy, Aunty Ng (nursery caregiver) said I'm big girl, I must poopoo and weewee in grown-up potty". I quickly brought her to the toilet to do her 'deed'. And there finally she's done it! It so happen that the toy I redeem arrived, so it was given to her as a gift! And from then on she has graduated to a grown-up toilet. I also bought 2 toilet seat covers .. cost us RM70plus. Sheesh and no discount!

small talks

2006-05-11T16:46:00.000+08:00

24th April 2006: The nursery owner - Ms Ng related to me about the conversation she had with Princess. It goes like this. Aunty: Did you enjoyed your trip to Bangkok? Princess: Yes. Its nice. Aunty: You say you'll bring me holiday but you didn't. You know .. when you left that day, I cried. Princess: No need to cry! Ok .. no need to cry. I bring you next time. 3rd May 2006: When I picked the kids, Princess was wearing the skirt and blouse I bought for her from Bangkok. Princess had a little conversation with Ms Ng that goes like this .. Princess: See my "baju" (clothes) so sexy (wonder where she learn the word). Aunty: Wah .. so pretty. Can I try it on. Princess: No .. cannot. Aunty: Why cannot? Princess: You big .. this small. Wait .. I buy you another one ok. Ms Ng said the way that she say it was like an adult. Sigh ... my baby is growing up so fast. Sniff sniff.

a day out with the KIDZ

2006-05-11T16:00:00.000+08:00

28th April 2006 (Friday): I brought Denisha, Cassandra - my niece and Aeden - my nephew for a day out at Kidzsports N Gym. They were playing there until 7 plus. When my sis and hubby arrived at about 6 plus, Darien played a little while then we went for dinner at Okra. Cassandra with Darien Aedan on the slide Princess waiting for Daddy to arrive

chocolates - one of our favourite snacks

2006-05-11T15:24:00.000+08:00

The kids love chocolates. Who doesn't - even Mommy and Daddy does. Especially Denisha ... she loves it so much. Whenever she sees any, her eyes will light light up - like she's seen gold or something. I bought them some belgium chocolates and they enjoyed it so much.

on a typical night at home

2006-05-02T18:00:00.000+08:00

Like any other nights when I fetch the kids back home, they would play on their own. While I was in the kitchen, I heard laughters from the hall. I went to have a quick look and there I saw two cheeky monkeys climbed into the playpen. The small one holding a small bowl where I put his cloth to clean him after meals. And there he was using the bowl wearing it like a hat and making his sister laugh. They are so easily amused.

Bangkok Trip: Princess telling a story

2006-05-02T17:51:00.000+08:00

Princess telling a "story" in the cab while heading back to the hotel.

Bangkok Trip: 20.04.06 ~ 22.04.06

2006-04-28T11:33:00.000+08:00

Hubs and I went to pick the kids up at about 4pm from the nursery. They told us that Princess was so excited. When we arrived at the LCC airport, we had something light at Coffee Bean. Boy enjoyed the scones. He had already taken his dinner at 3pm - he really can eat! When we were boarding, suddenly Princess told me "Mommy I don't want to sit this plane, I want to sit small plane". Oh my gosh! I explained to her and she understands. She was ok after we were seated. When we took-off they were ok too. We had cup noodle and a drink in the plane. The kids seem to enjoy the flight. We reached Bangkok International Airport at about 8pm. Upon arriving there, Barry and Amelia (my cousins - who were there for business) were already there to pick us up for dinner. We stopped by this very nice chinese restaurant (forgot the name). They serve very good shark's fin soup (with whole piece of shark's fin - don't think can get it here). Their peking duck is really great as well as their curry crab. Their curry spice is different from the ones here. The taste of their food there is totally unique and nice. Simply delicious! Too bad I was too hungry and forgotten to take a picture. We stayed at Taipan Hotel located in Sukhumvit Road with Barry and Amelia. That night I didn't sleep too well. Its the norm for me when I'm sleeping in an unfamiliar place. When we woke up in the morning, we went to eat in a coffee shop. The noodle soup was really good too. The soup is really unique. The kids love it too. After breakfast we went to do our shopping at Ma Boon Krong (MBK). Upon arriving there, I told Princess we are not buying toys today. Everytime we pass by a stall that sells those disney character stuffs and bags, she'll turn to me and say "Mommy I got many toys at home already". I told her "Yes Princess you have many toys already". I have no problem going shopping with her cos she understands. Wouldn't want her to be throwing tantrums in the middle of the mall. We did some shopping for the kids and a little bit for ourselves. The food there is ok but Princess likes the fish ball noodle soup. She was eating while humming to a tune. Must be nice - its a bit different compare to the ones here. In the cab, going back to the hotel We took a cab back to the hotel and it cost us Baht200 .... total rip-off! Princess didn't sleep in the afternoon, so when we reached the hotel she took a nap. When she woke up from her nap at around 8pm, we took a sky-train to Suan Lum Night Market. Had dinner there. Its not really nice. Bought some stuffs there too. Princess likes this cute little hand-crafted piggy. So we bought one for her. We didn't finished shopping at the night market because the last train was at 11pm. We went back to the hotel at 10 plus and the kids went to bed at 1am. So late! We took an early flight home at 10am. The only thing that we didn't do there was massage. Yes! Can you believe it! In Thailand and no massage! Sigh nevermind .. next time. Overall the trip was too short and travelling to a foreign country with kids is a challenge but we are proud to say that we managed well. Looking forward to our next trip again. Bangkok International Airport Departure Hall I bought this T-shirt in Mothercare. Was too tempted by the workings on it. Cousins Barry and Amelia Princess 'experimenting' on the plane

Boy's sleeping style

2006-04-28T11:27:00.000+08:00

Everytime he sleeps in the car seat, he'll be putting both his hands behind his head .... acting like big boss!!

Every child's favourite fastfood ... McDs

2006-04-14T13:12:00.000+08:00

Took the kids to McDs playground after lunch last Sunday. Its a drive-thru McD that's adjoining a petrol station. We all had ice-cream in the enclosed playground. They have a place there for the kids to place their shoes but I find it pointless since the play area is so dirty. The kids actually had a bath in the morning. When we went back home ... its bath-time again for them. Mommy .. .the hygiene freak!

Boy's Ooh oh - Version II

2006-04-14T13:03:00.000+08:00

laundry room

2006-04-07T16:28:00.000+08:00

Whenever the kids feel bored playing with their toys or watching TV they will go into laundry room to extertain themselves while I was handing clothes. They'll play with the clothes pegs and hangers. Look at what Princess did to her poor teddy. Everyone's heard of voodoo doll but a voodoo bear??!! When Mommy says smile Boyboy. He'll give me one big cheeky smile. Princess up to something after she's done her voodoo teddy.

journey back home

Princess simply loves nursery rhymes. When she sings lil' Darien will sway to the music. Its really cute. One of the few book collections in our room.

back in action

2006-04-06T16:38:00.000+08:00

I received a comment from Zara's Mama asking me why I was not updating my blog for so long. I think it has been more than a month since the last time I posted. Well, I had shingles for about 1 week plus and right after was out with fever, cold and cough. When I finally recovered my brother was getting married and I was busy with this and that. And now its all done .. and here I am - posting again.

Princess miss daddy

2006-02-17T16:03:00.000+08:00

Early this morning, Hubby went to China for business trip. So I fetched the kids to the nursery. Princess was still sleeping when I carried her into the car. Boy was wide awake, happily drinking his milk. It takes us about 45 minutes from home to nursery (without jam). Halfway through the journey, Boy slept and Princess woke up. We had a conversation ... it goes like this ... Princess: Where's titi (brother)? Mommy: Titi's sleeping ... shh shh Princess: Where's Daddy? Mommy: Daddy went to China ... far far far away. Have to take aeroplane Princess: *In a weepy tone but didn't cry* I want to follow Mommy: No you can't follow ... Daddy is working. When we go holiday soon, we'll sit in the plane ok ... Daddy Mommy, Titi and Denisha. Princess: *Smiling happily* Mommy Daddy Titi Denisha sit aeroplane. Reaching there, one of the caregivers wanted to carry her out. She cried. So I went over to carry her. She stopped crying. Later on when I was leaving, I heard her cry again. I didn't go into the house afraid that she might cry more. When I reach office, I called the nursery and asked Alice, one of the caregivers there why she cried earlier. Alice told me she said "Daddy sit aeroplane". I was so touched. Am almost in tears (yeah this Mommy is very emotional). She understands. When she was younger .. like last June 2005 when hubby went to India ... she was ok. Our little girl is growing up. photo taken on the 15th February 2006

Post CNY Review: Last day of CNY Day 15

2006-02-16T18:01:00.000+08:00

Last Sunday was the last day of CNY. We met up with Adric and family at 1U. We had lunch in Vietnam Kitchen. After finishing lunch, Princess told me she wanted to wee wee. So I opened up the portable potty for her and sat her at the corner of the restaurant. She was so shy making sure that no one was looking at her. This is the 1st time she went out without diapers. It was really an achievement and thanks to this portable potty from Tommy Tippee. It was really useful. The lunch attendees (hubby not in pic - he was holding the camera) Did a little bit of shopping and we dropped by their place for a little while before adjourning to my mom's for dinner. Mom cooked a nice sumptious dinner to celebrate the last day of CNY. Too bad I forgot to take pictures of the food.

Post CNY Review: CNY Day 14 - Visiting

2006-02-16T16:28:00.000+08:00

Last Saturday was the 14th day of CNY. We were scheduled to visit my friends, Alice and mom2ashley. We woke up late again ... 10am. We were in a rush and by the time we finished preparing everything was about noon. We were supposed to meet for lunch. We had some miscommunications .. so we ended up eating by ourselves ... hehe. After lunch, we went to their house. Alice had two boys, one aged 3+ and another one aged 7. The kids enjoyed their company and had fun playing with the toys. Alice's two boys, Sean and Scot. Boy searching for some toys. We reached mom2ashley's place in the evening about 4pm and the kids were really tired and sleepy. They were being really clingy. We were trying to get the kids to take picture with Ashley but they were not in the mood. Aww! Maybe next time. Cute lil Baby Ashley Boy's version of "Oh oh"

poor finger

2006-02-15T18:19:00.000+08:00

Last Friday while in the nursery, Boy cut his finger when he was playing with the plastic drawers. That's why when I buy these things, I will choose it carefully to make sure there are no sharp edges. When that happened, I was somehow annoyed and worried. Annoyed at the caregivers there for not looking at him properly but on the other hand, they can't be watching him every minute. Was worried because I don't know how deep the wound was and I had to bring the two kids to the PD without hubby 'cos he had a company dinner to attend. Seeing Boy in a jovial mood, he must be ok cos he did not cry or show any discomfort. He was looking at the aunty wrapping his finger up. So I was contemplating on whether to go to the PD or not. I went in the end .. he was due for his jab anyway. While driving there. Princess cried and when I asked her why she cried, she said "Titi (brother) pain". I was so touched. Such a sweet girl. I told her "No .. Titi is ok. Don't need to cry". When we saw the doctor, she said they don't have the equipments for cleaning up the wound etc .... gosh! I was thinking what kind of clinic is this. Gee! And I had to pack the kids into the car and go to another clinic. It was such a task .. looking for parking ... getting the kids out of the car .. making sure that Princess don't run out to the street. In the end, this doctor said he doesn't need any stitches .. thank goodness ... just a minor cut. Boy was so brave looking at the way the doctor did the dressing of the wound. The minute he realised I was there, he was whining and wanting me to carry. Sigh sigh.

look at his poor finger .... apart from the injury he's playing happily.

Throw Throw

2006-02-13T16:49:00.000+08:00

This video was taken on the 6th February 2006 at home one morning. Nowadays, Boy likes to take things, play with it a little while and then finally he'll say "Throw". Once, I asked him to throw something for me. He took it and quickly walked into the bathroom. Once he saw the dustbin, he said "Throw". I clapped my hands and said clever boy. From then on whenever he throw anything, he'll clap his own hands .. hehe self-praise. :)

Post-CNY Day 1 ~ Day 8 Review

2006-02-08T15:58:00.000+08:00

Chinese New Year Eve As usual during our eve of CNY, we'll have lunch at my in-laws and dinner at my parents. "Every year my mom will cook a nice reunion dinner consist of abalones, sharksfin, mushrooms, duck etc. The food is fit for a village."

"Look at the two little monkeys!"

CNY - Day 1 On CNY Day 1, we visited my in-laws, some friends', my parents and finally my Aunt Stella in Cheras. As usual like every year, we'll all gather at my Aunt's place for a nice dinner. Cheeky Princess doing a smiling pose Princess in her Chinese "cheongsam" Boy in his Chinese costume Princess's favourite cousin, Cassandra (my eldest sis's daughter) Princess performing "Baa Baa Black Sheep" in her pajamas at my Aunt Stella's house. CNY - Day 2 After the kids woke up, we went to Aunt Stella's house for mahjong session. The kids all had fun together. The house was like a mini casino and a mini amusement park. It was filled with laughter and tears. After the mahjong session was finally over, it was way past 2am. So we decided to stay the night. Luckily, we brought clothes (for just in case). This picture was taken before we went out. Boy was trying to put back all the alphabet pieces like we always do. CNY - Day 3 Since Boy slept earlier last night, he woke up at 9.30am and Princess slept late, so she woke up at 11.30am. "Good Morning Boy!" Princess trying to cover Boy with a piece of muslin cloth. In the midst of it, she woke him up. After being woken up by Princess, he decided to play some toys to entertain himself. Princess trying to wear her pants. CNY - Day 4 We had a few friends visiting our place in the evening and we went for seafood dinner. After dinner we went back to our place and the kids had a good time playing with the aunties and uncles. These pictures were taken in the morning after their bath. CNY - Day 5 & 6 : Genting Highlands Holiday Our schedule to go up Genting was supposed to be at 10am but we woke up at ten. By the time we finished packing and bathing the kids, it was already 11.30. We had McDs in the car and soon after the kids fell asleep. Daddy and Mommy had a peaceful drive up and reached there at about 2.30pm. We stayed in a room sharing with my sis & family. The weather there was great unlike in KL .. hot and humid. The kids went for some rides - Boy enjoyed the most ... happily 'driving' the cars that he was in. There were clowns and 'God of Fortune' (chinese - choi sun yeh) around the place and gave Princess a scare. She's always not into these kinds of things. She kept saying 'I'm scared' whereas Boy was like he couldn't care less of what's happening around him. Hmm .. dunno maybe boys are braver. We went to the outdoor theme park. My sis and I paid for ride entrance fee to accompany the kids whereas the daddies paid for a no-ride entrance fee so that they can take pictures and look-out for things. CNY - Day 7 My two friends and kids came for a visit in the morning. We had lunch outside and went back home to recuperate. For dinner, we went over to my Aunt Stella's house again. Princess simply love babies. Princess together with Baby Ashley (Cousin Jerry's daughter). We went home at 12am. Princess was so tired, she crossed her legs while sleeping. So bossy!! Hehehe. CNY - Day 8 Dinner at my mom's. As usual, the kids had a fun time playing.

not so loud mommy

2006-01-12T14:18:00.000+08:00

11th January 2006: On the way back from nursery, Princess asked me to play her music CD. She was singing happily to the tune. The music was a bit too soft side, so I tune up the volume a bit and Princess said to me .. "Mommy, not so loud after Titi (brother) cry". I told her "Oh ok .. clever girl". Hehehe it was so nice of her. Playing banging bottle Boy cover face with a picture book Princess had Patrick on her head. When I asked her. "What are you wearing Princess?" She replied. "I'm wearing a hat - Patrick hat". Hehhe cheeky girl!

whole day out

2006-01-11T13:19:00.000+08:00

10th January 2006: Normally the kids wouldn't ask for milk until they have woken up that is at about 8 plus to 9am. To my surprise, Princess woke up, half asleep at about 7 plus and told me .. Mommy I want milk. So, I made her a bottle and she was suckling on the bottle with her eyes close. After milk, she went back to sleep until almost 10am. Boy woke up at about 9am. I had him bathe and gave him a bottle of milk. After that he was happily playing by himself while Princess was still sleeping. After awhile when she finally woke up, took her for a bath and later on to Melinda's (niece - hubby's bro's daughter) birthday buffet at a restaurant. The lunch event was crowded with people and Princess doesn't fancy much of these kind of events. After lunch, we decided to do some shopping in 1U. On the way there, both kids had a bottle of milk each and right after, both fell asleep in the car. Upon reaching 1U, Boy woke up and Princess was still asleep for the next 1 hour. Passed by McDonald's and being kiasu, decided to join the Kid's Club since our kids are fans of fries and nuggets. And they have discounts from other boutiques as well. As soon as Princess woke up, we went to KidzSports. They had a great time there, leaving Mommy and Daddy with backache and sore muscles. There was this incident that really bothers me. Princess was playing in the enclosed area for 3 and below. She took 2 balls in her hand .. and suddenly this boy about 3 year/3 year plus moved towards her and took the balls from her hand. I told her nevermind and asked her to play something else. The "boy" was playing with the kiddy roller-coaster car. Princess appraoched him and wanted to play when he got off. He was being possesive and doesn't want to share with her. So I told her .. nevermind the "boy" is playing halfway and asked her to wait her turn when he finishes. She was still ok. The 2nd time, she was playing with a toy plane/tricycle and the Boy came to her and took it from her. This time that's it ... got on my nerve already. I went over to him and scolded him .. he just looked at me giving me that "I don't care look". Princess was still ok. Since the roller-coaster car was available, she went over to play. And suddenly, the Boy went over to her and grabbed. She fell down and cried. That's it .. I was already super angry. I carried her and comfort her. The worse thing was the father was all along sitting near there dreaming and couldn't care less about the whole thing until my girl started to cry. What kind of parent is this?! Allowing your child to be selfish, self-centered and possessive. Sheesh! I completely understand if he's a baby or younger but he's not. At least the parent can guide him when he's playing there but NO! Maybe his parent is also one selfish, self-centered and possessive "you know what"! We always teach my kids to share and take turns but of course not all things can be shared but simple things like toys and food are ok. There are instances where she's relunctant to share but we made sure we explain to her why the behaviour is not acceptable. We'll never allow her to be in that "manner" in public. Post pics soon.

peanuts

2006-01-08T21:14:00.000+08:00

Today is one of Daddy's good friends wedding. In the morning, he went for the 'pick up' bride ceremony.And by the time he came home was about 2 plus in the afternoon. Boy boy was already alseep but Princess was still awake. Gave her a bottle of milk and she was already asking me for biscuits and other stuff to eat. Daddy took out a packet of peanuts - those that you have to peel of the shell type to munch. As soon as Princess saw that she requested Daddy for some. And she, too is a fan of peanuts just like us. She was munching away happily with a satisfied hum. She was holding the packet of the peanuts and it fell on the floor. Then, Daddy being his funny self told her .. "Princess, quickly pick up the peanuts .. if not the elephants will come and eat". And he walk away sniggering .... silly Daddy! Hehehhe. Since morning, Boy had diarrhea. Since he was still unwell, I did not attend Daddy's friend's wedding dinner. Instead, we all went to my mom's place for dinner.

2006-01-07T21:48:00.000+08:00

Our Cousin Amelia wanted to cook for the CNY eve so asked us to be her guinea pigs. Forgot to take pictures of the dishes she cooked up but it was really fantastic. We had steam prawns, shitake mushrooms, mixed vege and steam salted egg with meat. All dishes were arranged hotel style .. so nicely decorated. Wow! For someone who seldom cook .. she's really good. Hehehe. Little niece Ashley is so cute. She's already 6 months old. She's responding a lot already and she's always smiling .. such a happy baby! When she saw the two kids, she was so excited .. squelling and calling them. Princess and Boy adore her too.

Christmas Eve & New Year's Eve

2006-01-05T22:15:00.000+08:00

CHRISTMAS EVE Had turkey in my mom's place .. bought from Las Caretas ... didn't roast this year. Thought of saving all the hassle of roasting but the turkey that we bought doesn't taste as good comparing to the one my elder sis roasted many years back. The turkey bought had so little stuffing and the skin tasted so bland .. sauce is also horrible. Sigh bad choice! So next year, we will be roasting ourselves ... at least we get better stuffings and sauces. After dinner, the kids unwrapped some Christmas gift that we bought. Yes I know the unwrapping shouldn't be until Boxing Day but they are impatient. :) New Year's Eve & New Year 2006 We went over to Westin hotel to meet up with my 2 sisters and brought the kids for a dip in the pool. This time round, Princess didn't want to swim because the water was quite cold. The kids had a fun time splashing for about 30 minutes or so and it started to rain .. bummer! We went back to the hotel for a bathe and later on brought them to "Kids Club" where there are toys and games to occupy the kids while the parents relax. My sisters and their family went for dinner and we went home. The kids didn't take much nap this afternoon. We went off at about 7 plus. As soon as they got into the car, they slept throughout until the next morning 8am. That's really nice. At least Daddy and Mommy have some time to ourselves. Hehe. We had barbecue at my mom's on New Year's Day ... simply scrumptious! Haven't had barbecue for months now. After I had dinner, I realised that Princess was coming down with a fever. Poor girl .. must have caught a cold in the pool. When she's sick, she's really good .. she's not whinny like Boyboy .. they are both totally different. After she took a dose of the fever medication, she fell asleep. They next day, she was well and was her hyper self again. Thank goodness!

Boxing Day Holiday

2006-01-05T10:10:00.000+08:00

BOXING DAY We stayed over at Riveira Bay Resort, Malacca on Boxing Day. We went with a couple of friends in the event of celebrating Elaine's birthday as well as Christmas. Took the kids for some kiddy rides, some beach fun and a dip in the pool. As usual, Boy dislike the touch of sand on his teeny weeny feet. From his previous encounter with the beach, we thought its again time to introduce to him the fun of building sandcastles but he's still not ready. He doesn't like it one bit. He just stood there crying and whimpering like there were snakes on the sand. Princess was happily playing with the sand. Tsk! Tsk! And we have forgotten the sandcastle buckets. As soon as we stepped into the pool, Boy was so thrilled .. smiling and splashing the water in the pool. When it was time to go, both of them protested and we had to tell them we'll bring them again tomorrow. Had to resort to white lies .. bad mommy and daddy! We all had Portugese food for dinner at the Portugese Village. Surprisingly, Princess was ok with the spicy fish. Probably she find it tasty. The houses located around the restaurants were decorated so nicely ... it was absolutely beautiful. Its a shame that we'd forgotten to take a picture of one of the houses. The following day, we had chicken rice ball for lunch and did some shopping at Jonker Street. All we bought were 3 fridge magnets (also chosen by Princess - but she broke 2 of it ... aiy!). Before we head for home, we drop by at Malacca Zoo. When we started walking suddenly, there was this huge elephant walking beside me and gosh! it gave a shock and guess who else got a shock as well? Aiy! We took turns carrying Princess around the zoo. You see .. we only brought along a stroller. By the time we reach home, we were already aching all over.

its gonna be only pictures

2006-01-05T09:31:00.000+08:00

My Dad bought the pool they're sitting on. Haven't had the time to get the styrofoam as a base so that when they fall and knock their heads, there is a protection base. No styrofoam .. no water .. that's why its sitting there in the living hall. The living hall looks kinda empty .. no choice .. the kids are still young .. so everything had to be baby-proof! See my pretty "long and curly" hair. I told Princess to put her finger on her cheek. See .... so vain! Princess says "I share share cornflakes with Titi (brother)"! Mommy says "That's a good girl!" Boy has been really 'helpful' these days. If he sees any cloth, clothes or tissue, he'll take it and start wiping the floor. Hehehe .. really cute.

splashing time in the bath

2005-12-29T16:22:00.000+08:00

the kids having a splashing time at the bath. Wonder why they were so happy. Well, Princess was splurting out water from her mouth and that really tickles Boy. By tickling Boy, Princess was also tickled. Both of them are so easily tickled. Happy happy babies!!!!!

She always make an effort to make lil' Darien happy even when he's crying. Clever girl. They are both getting along quite well.

2005-12-28T17:14:00.000+08:00

this is a new cookbook that I've purchased from MPH, Midvalley. I'm simply mad about cookbooks for babies and kids. Whenever I go to a bookstore, I will hunt for these books. This cookbook is more suitable for toddlers compared to the other book I had. I have yet to try out these recipes.

Sunday ...

2005-11-13T22:10:00.000+08:00

This morning Daddy went out quite early for a friend's morning wedding session. As soon as I woke up, I bathed Princess and Boyboy. After that, we went downstairs and Princess would ask for her Barney. Yeah Barney everyday ... and guess what .. Mommy can sing all of Barney's songs. Hehehe. Did a bit of washing here and there, cleaning up and prepared their porridge. By the time their lunch is over at about 12pm, I prepared my own lunch. After that, I asked them to take a nap. It was a challenge because this time round I let them nap downstairs. I put 1 kiddy sofa bed and 1 small mattress side-by-side and demanded them to sleep. Princess lay on it awhile then went off to play her toys. Boy on the other hand, as soon as I catch him getting up, I'll tell him naughty .. go back to sleep. From head up, he'll prop back down on the mattress. So cute. I left them in that position for awhile and went to the kitchen. After a while I went out again, I say Boyboy fast asleep all by himself. And Princess watching the TV .. gosh. I switched off the TV and told her to get some sleep. I dozed off after a short while and when I woke up a few minutes later, Princess was already sleeping beside me. Getting them to sleep is such hard work. Especially as they grow older .... they doesn't seem to want any sleep. Play play and more play. And in the end .. the Mommy or Daddy will sleep before them.

DeepaRaya Trip: Port Dickson

2005-11-06T20:12:00.000+08:00

3rd - 4th November 2005: We stayed at Guoman PortDickson Golf Resort. The kids were so happy enjoying themselves. Princess enjoyed playing the sand but Boyboy doesn't like the sand on his feet. He was making a big fuss but he was enjoying the pool so much. He's such a water baby. Princess on the other hand was scared and sat a the side of the pool for awhile. After seeing Boyboy enjoying himself, she decided to go into the pool as well. Both of them enjoyed so much until they doesn't want to get out of the pool. :) The service there was not that good. We booked for a seaview room but somehow the booking was messed up. And the water there was horrible. Was brownish in colour with a rusty smell. Had to get mineral water to boil and drink. This is the last time we are staying there. We met Mun Mun there. What a coincidence! We were looking for a place to eat our dinner and most of the restaurants were quite full so we decided to settle for one that are not too packed. According to her, she didn't complain about the water in Avillion. Initially, we wanted to stay there but the room available was with two single beds. Bummer! Anyway, it was a good break for the kids and us.

Genting Highlands

2005-11-02T15:59:00.000+08:00

1st November 2005: Took the kids to Genting Highlands for a-day trip. Reached there bout 3pm. On the way there, Princess had a 2-hour nap and Boy had a 1 and a half-hour nap. We bought McDs for lunch. Got happy meal nuggets for Princess and a McEgg for Boyboy. Princess was so tired, she slept and didn't eat it until she woke up. Boyboy ate the whole McEgg all by himself. Hehehe. Princess was so fascinated with the merry-go-round. She kept telling me .. horse. I asked her .. "Do you want to sit?". She said yes. Then when I let her ride in it, she asked me to carry her all the way until it finishes. Aiyaya! Overall, the kids enjoyed the trip there.

Boy is really sleepy ... *yawn*

Oops ... what is Daddy's hand doing there.

Daddy with the two precious gems. "Mummy I'm really stoned!"

Mooncake Fest 2005

2005-09-19T13:12:00.000+08:00

18th September 2005: Yesterday was Mooncake Festival. We had a small family gathering at Poh Poh's (maternal grandma) house. The kids were rushing with their food so that they can start their lanterns. Princess had some duck (her favourite is the skin), rice and soup .. and off she went for her lanterns and bubble blowing. Poor Boy! Too young to be outside. The "lantern tree" the kids and Aunty Esme decorated. Princess picking up rubbish to throw. Cassandra helping out to clean-up the mess. The kids preparing the lanterns for the tree. Princess holding on to her lantern while Cassandra trying to balance hers. Princess enjoying Mommy's home-made cupcake.

Fighting for Mummy's Attention

2005-09-08T15:59:00.000+08:00

This morning I was sitting on the sofa carrying Denisha. Darien was standing with his hands on my lap making so much noise. He was asking me to carry him. When I carried him, he had a cheeky smile on his face. Sigh .. such a jealous poker. Same goes for Denisha ... whenever I call Darien to crawl towards me, Denisha would quickly sit on my lap. Aiyaya ... sometimes, we'll resort to carrying 2 at the same time. Imagine if there is a 3rd? Gosh ... I won't imagine. Not enough hands .. :Þ

Daddy had a mini potluck with his high school friends at our place yesterday. Since our little Princess's 2nd birthday is today, we had a small pre-celeb a day earlier. Uncle Albert and Aunty Jessica bought a cake for Princess. By the time Princess cut the cake it almost 12. Goodness ... Boyboy was so sleepy and cranky (see the photo on the top left). He dozed off soon after I put him into bed. Princess as well. Sorry if we have missed out on anyone's pix.

Get-together with YHClan ..

2005-08-28T20:28:00.000+08:00

We had a get-together at Chilli's when Kim came down for her shopping during the megasale. We hardly talked much with the kids around demanding this and that ... (think we will have to think about another place where the kids won't be so bored).

We just opened up a Fisher Price toy cooking set that we bought during a Mattel sale. Princess loved it so much. Playing pretend .. cooking up dishes for us. Really cute. She even offered the toy to boyboy. Good girl.

Bathing Together

2005-06-08T13:09:00.000+08:00

This is the 1st bath taken at our new place. They are so cute playing together. Boyboy is especially happy - squeling and splashing everywhere. But I think the tub is getting a bit too small for both of them. Soooo crowded with two BIG babies. :)

This is the day where we shifted to our new house. We have a laundry room downstairs and upstairs we have a kid's playroom and a study/work room. The kids are adjusting very well in the new house. They have no problems in getting to bed. Somehow, I think they know. People say kids have instincts on things that's happening around them. Hmm maybe it's true.

Chinese New Year 2005

Today is the first day of Chinese New Year and both of our precious are dressed in cute chinese costumes. Princess is in a pink cute 'samfu', which mommy bought while shopping with daddy in MidValley. And boyboy, in his beige 'samfu' which mommy bought while shopping at Giant (hard to get 'samfu' for baby below a year old). Look at his two cute chubby cheeks.

First Shopping Outing For BoyBoy

2005-01-23T22:10:00.000+08:00

This is the first 'real' shopping outing for boyboy. We all went to Sunway Pyramid. Having two strollers now really takes up some time in setting up. Princess didn't make any fuss when we put her in her stroller where she usually does. Everything went ok. Thank goodness Boyboy didn't do his usual poopoo because he had already done it at home. Hmm .. pretty messy to be cleaning his poopoo in the mall. After the outing we took some photos outside Sunway Hotel with all those animal statues.

Sibling Love

Siblings In Harmony

Denisha is accepting her new brother quite well. She simply adores him. Hugging and kissing him all the time.

Jealous Poker

2004-11-03T16:19:00.000+08:00

Denisha is not doing too well adjusting to her new role. She's so jealous of her new brother - always wanting mommy to carry and cries most of the time. Thank goodness she doesn't hit him. Hope everything will go ok as time goes by. *Fingers crossed*

Another addition to the Family!!!

2004-10-31T18:00:00.000+08:00

A year has come and gone and *pop* another new addition to the family ... Little Darien Lim. Since Denisha has 'upgraded' to a new role as 'cheh cheh', she now has to share everything with her little brother. Hmm .... I hope its going to be ok.
