Upset..

2011-04-08T16:29:00.000+08:00

Just now got a call from Sebastian and his crying voice make my heart shank and soul disappear for a moment. Then I quickly go to his school to check out what happen to him. Luckily the distance from my office to his school is nearby can be reached within 15mins.

He told me that got had stomach ache and poo-ed on his pant because his music class teacher don’t allowed him to go toilet. I brought Sebastian along to look for his music teacher but she’s not around. I waited for 10mins but still can’t find her, and then I went to his class and speak to his classmates to check what exactly happen. His classmates told me that this music teacher doesn’t allow any of the students go to toilet during her session. What the heck man!!! I went back to the office again, and still can’t find her, then another teacher approached me, I think she can sense my unhappiness and my hokkien me face, she is Penolong Pengetua. Then I follow her to her office and tell her what exactly happen. And this Penolong Pengetua told me that this teacher is like that, everytime do wrong thing but don’t admit and she still can be a teacher? I told her I don’t care and I need an explanation from the teacher why she doesn’t allow the students to go to toilet? Come on la… they a just a kids, how can you ask them to tahan till the session over and furthermore, Sebastian is having stomach ache. I hope they can give me a good explanation after investigate it and I will demand for an apology from the music teach to my son.

Hello there....

2011-04-08T11:25:00.000+08:00

Ohh…. I miss my blog so much! I haven’t touch it for so.. so.. long…. blame on my laziness. I’ve been telling myself many times that I should keep this blog and continuously update it.

Sebastian is in Standard 2 now and exam is coming soon, I did not put him to tuition so I just do my best to coach him. He has grown up so much now that I can’t carry him already. I should have kick him to his room by now coz he still co-sleeping with us.. hehehehe

As for Sidney, she is in her final year of kindergarten and I’m so worried about her. Teacher still complaining that she doesn’t want to speak up, even if she speak, teacher can’t hear what she trying to say until get her to repeat few times.

Just hope that both of them growth healthily.

Sidney's Day

2010-10-24T20:41:00.000+08:00

Yesterday was Sidney’s birthday and also concert day but she was sick at the same time. Luckily she was not cranky so we still going to her concert.

We celebrated her birthday at Look Out Point and at the same time there are few more people celebrated their birthday, it’s seem that quite number of people sharing the same birthday ^_^

It was so cooling up there and windy; maybe it’s too cold that both hubby and I fall sick.

Not really a smooth day for all of us coz three people fall sick L

Buying Second Car

2010-09-25T00:00:00.000+08:00

At the moment we have one car only, so everyday hubby will send me to work. Hubby intend to buy second car so by the time Sidney goes to primary school, I can send and pick them up from school. It’s mean I might become SAHM… lol

Hubby and I went to test drive Toyota Camry, as hubby wanting to buy this car long time ago but due to budget constrain we have to put on hold first. This is a nice car and for sure the auto repair of this luxury car will cost a bomb.

To drive such a luxury car, we have to be alert especially when the car breaks down; at least we need to know the basic knowledge of the car function especially when the check engine light indicator turn on. Then we have to reset it to fix the problem but let auto repair shop do it instead of DIY.

NOT Happy Mid-Autumn Festival

2010-09-23T10:33:00.004+08:00

When come to festivals, everyone is looking forward for gathering with friends and relatives where they sit down together and eat together and gossip together but not for me.

All these while, my dearest SIL n family joining us for dinner whatever festival we celebrated whether MIL cook or we go out makan-ing instead of her in-law. She told us that her MIL seldom cooks during festival even on eve of CNY. She has been eating together with us for many many years, lost count. I really don’t have any problem with it, the more the merrier ma…. Rite!

So, last night she came and joins us for dinner as usual. Hubby and I came home late around 7.30pm because we went to buy duck ‘kar liew’. This is requested by MIL and they love to eat duck, so upon reaching home, I saw SIL’s car and I asked hubby, will they start eating already without waiting for us? Hubby told me they won’t la, sure will wait for us one. Sure enough when I get down from the car, I saw them eating happily and I am very very upset and angry too. My unhappiness shown on my face while walking toward dining table and they said the kids are hungry. Yes, I wouldn’t mind if the kids are eating but you all adults are eating too. At least, have a courtesy to call us and tell us, right or not. We are not going shopping and purposely come home late and it’s only 7.30pm not that 8.30pm or 9.00pm.

This Mid-Autumn festival is not happy for me anyway… forget about it la!

When we reached home, that two monster can’t wait to play lantern, actually not the lantern that interest them… it’s the candles. They play happily and we have to clean their mess unhappily… hahahaha

Chicken Pox

2010-09-15T08:44:00.002+08:00

School holidays are over and I’m back to routine, wake up early in the morning to prepare Sebastian and Sidney for school until next school holidays… lol

During the last school holidays we were supposed to going back to Penang but were called off as Sebastian infected with chicken pox. Luckily it was school holidays so he doesn’t have to skip classes for so many days… and today he went to school already.

So, we spent our school holidays staying at home watching TV, playing games and doing workbooks.

Sidney's Progress

2010-07-28T10:14:00.000+08:00

A little worry about her progress especially in academic, till now she still seldom communication with her teacher and even classmates. She quite talkative when she at home, she talk to her brother, she talk to her daddy and me but why she act differently when she was outside.

When teacher scolded her, she just stared at her not even a single word from her mouth. She will play with her classmate just that she don’t talk. I really was scratching my head!!

She has another year in kindergarten and going to primary one in year 2012, she will be attending Chinese School. So, I really need to work harder to guide her accordingly. She doesn’t recognize word even a simple one such as one, two, three….. etc. Or maybe I actually pay lack attention to her becoz I’m too concentrating on Sebastian.

I have only two kids and I can’t pay attention to both of their school work at the same times. Haizz…. Maybe the problem came from me for not guiding Sidney in proper way and this make her slow in her progress.

I'm still around......

2010-05-13T15:42:00.002+08:00

Yes.... I'm still around and i will be updating my blog today onwards. So, please support ya my blogger friends. ^_^

1984 - 2009

2009-07-06T22:11:00.003+08:00

It has been a month I didn’t updates my blog.

First, I have too many things on my mind but didn’t know what to write.

Secondly, I have many things to tell but didn’t know how to start. It’s all about my sister.

She gone for almost 2 weeks and I still miss her very much, I miss her sms, I miss her scolding, I miss her everything. I have a lot of thing to share with her, to tell her, to discuss with her and to fight with her. But all these are too late, when she is around, you don’t care much, you don’t talk much and you keep on fighting. It’s all too late now!! Not matter how hard you cry, how much you miss her, she won’t alive.

My youngest sister first diagnosed with cancer is at the age of 9+ and had her first operation in 1995 follow by chemo than relapse again in 2000 and her last operation was in 2006. Dr mentioned that there are no other options because there are multiple nodules (lumps of cancer cells) which are growing and which cannot be surgically removed anymore.

We tried many methods from Chinese sinseh to Indian Sifu for her to get heal. Whoever told us this sinseh good treated many cancer patients we tried until my sister getting tired of trying all the medicine.

Then she become very ill and admitted to hospital as she was collapse at home. I then rush home with hubby when mom’s called me as her hubby was at outstation that time. The moment I look at her seeing her unconscious look my tears start to drop non-stop. I keep on calling her name, check on her heartbeat.. her breath and she still alive, then I told hubby to quickly sent her to hospital. She was admitted to hospital on 26 May 2009 and never come home since then. Mom and my BIL takes turn to take care of her day and night and I travel to hospital everyday to see her. Day by day passed, she become weaker and weaker, Dr told us to prepare ourselves, get all her friends and relatives to visit her and get her son to accompany her everyday. The most regretted I was, the night before she decided to leave us. I am supposed to stay back at the hospital with my mom, BIL and aunt to take care of her but I did not coz I go home.

She finally passed on peacefully 21 Jun 2009 @ 9am in hospital leaving behind her beloved husband, Allan and son, Brandon. Her wake service was at Xiao En Centre and cremation at Nirvana Memorial Park.

I found blood stain...........

2009-06-02T22:57:00.003+08:00

I finally send my TAI KAR CHEY (Big Sister) back to agent as I really can’t take it anymore. I’m trying to close one eye on her work she does, the black face she shown me, the ‘sigh’ sound I heard every time I asked her to do work and many more.

Today she sounded unsatisfactory when my MIL asked her to clean the floor where my kids dirty it when they eat and told MIL that she will clean it when she mop the floor. Then she talk to MIL at very high tone saying that she does not want to work anymore, so MIL called me and told me what happened. Immediately I called agent and him to bring her back else I do not know what will happen to her when I back home. Coz I cannot tahan anymore.

Later when I back in-law house I checked on her small bag that she brought to in-law house for shower and I found my house key, this house key was kept at in-law house. I really don’t know how long she kept this house key, did she pass to anyone to duplicate it or she is planning to runaway from in-law house and back to my house to get her stuff.

When I back home I quickly when to her room and dig her stuff, I can’t any of the thing that I lost which is money and watches. But I found something... blood stain in her diary and wrote “I LOVE YOU” and “LAS (her name) LOVE WWN (I think is her bf)” with her blood. Geli or not…. I can’t imagine further and I told hubby that we are lucky we are still alive here. Don’t whether she did put any of her blood in our drinking water or whatever la. Immediately I change all the drinking water, throw away the opened milk powder, throw away the knife (dunno whether she got use our knife to get the blood) and also scissors. Now, I remember why her hand and finger always on plaster. Yucckkkk!!! Don’t want to think further make me even sick.

I am so… so… so… relieve now, coz she is not here anymore, I want to live happily ever after, will update the pix of her blood stain tomorrow.

Sebastian teaching Sidney

2009-05-21T17:37:00.002+08:00

Seeing impatience Sebastian teaching Sidney... so funny! Hubby said just like mummy... so impatience when teaching. LOL!!

Scratches on her face

2009-05-20T10:18:00.004+08:00

It’s almost come to half a year that Sidney went to kindergarten. Her teacher commented that Sidney is very quite, never talk at all for the first few months, even going to toilet that is why she pees several times in the classroom.

Yesterday, I got a call from in-law saying that Sidney’s face got scratches, then late evening followed by a call from Sidney’s class teacher. She apologies for what happen to Sidney’s face and told me that this small little boy playing with Sidney and accidentally scratched her face. She said she did not realize it until she going to have reading with Sidney coz Sidney did not cry at all. I thought there were an assistant but how come the assistant did realize at all. Hhmmmm…..

Upon reaching home, I looked at Sidney’s face and the scratches quite bad tough. So, this morning I went to see her teacher and have a word with her, telling her to be more alert in the classroom.

Beside, I’m also asking how is Sidney performance so far. She said Sidney improved a lot from the day she steps in but still she does not talk. She only talks to the teacher when she wants to go toilet and reading time or singing. Other than that she will just keep quite and do whatever teacher is teaching her except she does not like go swimming and gym class. She will just stood there and watch. But at home she is talk but not very talkative and asks question too. It may due to languages we spoke at home ie. Mandarin and school they speak English. Hope to see a better results on her this year end.

From Sebastian

This lovely card was from Sebastian, thanks my dear son!

Awesome Mom

2009-05-08T10:08:00.001+08:00

This weekend most of the restaurants will be fill-up due to Mother's Day celebration and am one of them celebrating with in-laws. Mom told us not to pack with others, so we will bring her out next week somewhere we could sit and chat happily.

This poem I browse thru web and would like to dedicate to all mummy and have a great celebration ahead!!

A mother's love
Is always true
It's all you need
To get you through

A mother's love
Can seem like hate
She's only tough
To keep you safe

A mother's love
Is always there
In simple ways
She'll show she cares

A mother's love
Can never compare
With anyone else's
Anywhere

A mother's love
Is here to stay
I love you, mom
Happy Mother's Day!

It's MY DAY.....

2009-05-05T21:57:00.003+08:00

Today, it’s my day… the day I was born 33yrs ago. I remembered my mom jokingly told me that I should celebrate for her instead of me during my birthday coz that time she is at hospital struggling to get me out to this world. LOL!!! Thanks.. mummy!!

So, today I got lots of wishes from sms, FB, email, phone…. whatever communication that can get whole of me.. thanks everyone for your wishes!

I had a good lunch with my colleagues but I have to paid myself as they will only celebrate with me when my boss back on Thursday, late better than nothing, rite!! Hehehe… And I got a bouquet of flower from hubby, thanks hub!!

Just now, I happily go dinner with hubby, ya... only two of us without two monsters around, peaceful dinner huh! And happily hubby drove to the hotel for our dinner; I find something amiss but just walk hand in hand with hubby to the restaurant. The waitress shows us our seat we reserved earlier, upon seating, the waitress asking for the membership card to enjoy the 50% discount. I grab my handbag and look for my wallet…. OH SH*T!!!! My wallet missing, so I asked the waitress whether we still can enjoy the discount without the membership card, no.. no way coz it’s the procedure that I have to show them. Luckily the monorails station just a stone away from the hotel and I told hubby I will take monorail to office to checkout my wallet. Haizz.. what a forgetful wife that hubby had and really lucky that hubby don’t have to send me back to the office at this peak hour where the road pile up with cars. LOL!!

15mins later I returned to the restaurant with my wallet and show the waitress my membership.. oh ya.. and the complimentary cake as well. Half way enjoying the dinner, got a call from MIL saying that Sidney having fever and vomiting. Hubby quickly asked for the bill, gets our cake and rush home.

Although it’s a rushing dinner, forgetful wife and sick daughter at home, I will enjoy my birthday very much and I can still have many.. many.. many birthday to celebrate, rite!!

Complimentary cake from hotel

Flower from hubby

Missed her field trip

2009-04-09T16:03:00.000+08:00

Sidney having fever for the last few days and she is getting better now. She supposed to go for her very first field trip yesterday but due to her sickness, she missed it. A bit of disappointment coz I really wanted her to go, so have to wait for next round of field trip.

Backdated: Sebastian's Birthday

2009-03-21T22:32:00.004+08:00

A little backdated post about Sebastian, he celebrated his 6th birthday on 6th Mar. We just went for makan-makan with in-laws and bought cake for him to celebrate at school.

He grown up so fast and I realize that I’m getting old edi. :)

Cake he insisted to buy to celebrate at school same like last year

Another cake we bought to celebrate at in-law house

I'm back in one piece....

2009-02-20T21:59:00.001+08:00

Wowwww…. It’s almost a month I did not touch my blog. I’ve been thinking whether I should stop blogging since my blogging bugs had gone missing, but I really em sey tak to leave my blogging world. So, decided to continue.

On CNY
What happened during CNY? Beside go visit relatives, giving and collecting angpaos, we went to KK for holiday. This is the first time we did not going back to Penang, so lesser angpao for this year, LOL!!

We stayed at Le Meridien at KK, besides shopping we went to visit Manukan Island and Wildlife Park only. Very relaxing trip and the kids enjoyed it so much.

On Valentine’s Day
We went out for simple dining nearby our housing area. It’s Thai’s food. Didn’t receive any flower or gift from hubby so do hubby, economy no good ma… so cut cost lor.. hehehe

On last weekend
We went to Sunway Lagoon together with mum, sis, BIL, SIL and the kids. The voucher I bought is going to expired this week, so quickly make a trip there. We spent almost a day at Sunway Lagoon from 10am till 5.30pm. Really worth it hor!! The kids played till don’t want to go home and all got tanned included me which every time I went hiding when the sun found me.

On Maid
Again??? Ya… again!!! This maid really a problematic maid, I should have send her off earlier but now too late. Her permit is going to expired this Sept so am not going to renew her again. She used hubby phone to call her boyfriend, her sister and dunno who else in Indonesia and the bill come to 1.2k.

Let me explain further, hubby phone normally put at TV cabinet and charging overnight without switch it off. This has been practice since we moved into this lil’ nest. It never happens to first maid. She is really smart and pretend to be dumb dumb like what Chinnee said. She know how to use phone and know how to call to Indonesia, all the calls she made is from 5am – 7am before we wake up. Each day at least 10 calls, each call lasted 20mins. Can you imagine!!! The first call she made was on 18 Oct, one month after she arrived at our lil’ nest. She went on making calls for the month of Nov, Dec and Jan. Feb statement is not here yet, so I presume her still making calls in Feb (we just found out last two weeks). Funny rite, how come hubby did not realize it coz the phone billed to company, thus we didn’t know about it until hubby’s account person called hubby and questioned him. LOL!! And his company so generous to pay the phone bill which each month cost around 600bucks!! If we knew early, I would have sack her. So, immediately I called my agent and told him about it. He came over on Saturday, and what he did before asking her question, he slapped her twice and she burst out. The agent immediate pulled her out while she is cleaning my room and threatens her to bring her to police station. So, agent told me that he will bring her back to his office and question cum counseling her. When she came back, she apologies to us and told us she won’t make mistake again. Since then, her soul is back to her, no more dreaming AT THE MOMENT. Till today, she did her work well at least a bit better then previous. Minus off the phone bill she owes us, she goes home with less than 2k. Worth it??

GONG XI FA CAI!!

2009-01-23T15:00:00.002+08:00

Hi my friends,

Wishing you all MOOney MOOney flows in the year of MOO MOO year!!

GONG XI FAI CAI....

Today..

2009-01-14T16:36:00.004+08:00

Today, after sending my kids to school and hubby to work, I became a delivery girl for a day and I’m willing to do it coz this is my first time I met them so I’m a bit nervous and my heart is pumping fast as if I’m meeting up my first love, LOL!!

This lady is very well known to all of you especially for bento lover, she is quite a established supplier of bento stuff, ya.. it’s Chooi Peng. This is my first time meeting her, we did not chat much coz I went there to collect my Pineapple Tart that I ordered from Miche. If I still remember, I think I only speak few word with her, ie. Hi, Thank you, Sorry to trouble you, Bye… ya… that it. Really paiseh ya, CP. Hope that we can have yum char session to talk more instead of these few words only. J

So, after collecting my thing from her, I proceed to second point where I would be meeting up another blogger mummy. She gave birth to twin baby boys and she is one of the supermom to me. Guess who?? Ya.. it’s Chinnee, really nice meeting you. You still look so sweet although you did not comb your hair, LOL! I tell you, her twin is really super cute, feel like wanna cubit them but don’t dare la… mummy is there watching. We had a nice chat together with her friend Audrey, really nice meeting you guys. Chinnee told me that today she will be baking, so I stayed a little longer doing KPC. After, she finished baking first round I’m about to go and I managed to take few of her cookies that she just baked. It’s really yummy!!

Thanks Chinnee for the cookies, also thanking CP’s colleague for bringing the tart all the way from Malacca and finally thanks Miche for the crunchy and extra ingredient of Pineapple Tarts, it’s yummilicious.

Sidney at school

2009-01-14T16:06:00.003+08:00

Day 1
Wake them up and Sidney makes little fuss, she does not want to take shower. I pray so hard that she won’t make a big fuss in the school. When reaching the school, she still OK no crying and bring her to her class room. Her teacher greeted her and she started to cry, so I let go her and quickly walk out from the classroom, then the door closed. Still hear she crying and I take a peep on her, after few attempts of trying to console her, she finally stopped crying. Then I left and waited at in-law house. Seeing her get down from the school van happily and asked her whether she enjoying schooling or not. She nodded her head and said wanna go to school again. Oh ya… she came home without her panty coz she wet her panty, LOL!!

Day 2
She did not make a fuss but still refused to shower. She still happily walks to car and chatted non-stop with Sebastian till we reached school. She got down from the car and walks to school compound and takes out her shoe. By the time she goes into her classroom, she started to cry and asked me not to go. I told her I need to send daddy to work and will wait her at granny house. She still sobbing and do not want to let me go till the teacher came and console her again. I quickly sneak out when teacher talking to her and I take a peep on her before leaving the school. Her teacher switches on the CD and asked the kids to stand in front to dance and singing but I saw Sidney just stand still looking at the kids. Maybe she still feels awkward but she came home with happy face and wanted to go to school again. Luckily!

Day 3
So, today is my last of leave that I applied. Yup.. I applied three days to be with my girl incase she make a big fuss. Today, she happily wake up and tell me she want to shower, I’m so happy and praise her so in my mind I’m thinking that my girl must be very happy going to school and will stop crying. Reached her school, she take out her shoe and put on the rack, again refuse to go into her classroom. This time, she pulled my leg and do not want to let go and started to cry. Try to talk to her but failed so her teacher take over from there. I did not look at her and quickly walk out from the classroom. Sometimes really pity her, not even reach age 4 as she is year end baby, she has to go to school already. Hopefully by next week she will stop crying, must pray hard.

Refused me to take her photo... she walked out from our room

Her reluctant look at me taking her picture

Orientation Day

2009-01-08T12:02:00.001+08:00

Yesterday and today was an orientation day for Sidney but Sidney did not go to school, coz I didn’t bring her to school. To me I find that the school arrangement on the orientation was so out of plan. On Mon and Tue was 5yo & 6yo orientation day and Wed and Thu was 3yo & 4yo orientation, then Fri no school. After that on Mon, all start schooling together. In order for me not to struggle twice as I really do not know how would Sidney react in school, so I decided to start her on next Mon.

I have a talked with her last few days for few times telling her that she will start school soon. She nodded her and happily brings out her uniform and school bag to show me. I hope that she really prepared herself to school next week and hopefully I’ll not be struggling.

And I’ve also reminded Sebastian to take care of her sister while taking school van. Pray that everything will go smooth sailing next week. Wish me luck!!!

I'm back... I'm tired, I'm upset and I'm going again...

2008-12-24T11:04:00.004+08:00

I’m back from company incentives trip. Total of 38 people going in two VIP coaches and we headed to Singapore. So, this year I’m not celebrating Dong Zhi with family for the first time.

I’m tired as I walked too much when we were in Singapore. As you know, if follow series tour, we have to get up early and back to hotel at late night. Although this is series tour but overall, this is very enjoyable tour, we really have fun there. On the first day we reach Singapore, we check-in into the hotel, then we rush to a short shopping at Bugis, as it was just a walking distance from the hotel we stayed. Then we met for dinner. After dinner, we were ferry to Orchard Road for heaven shopping. It was Saturday and the whole Orchard was so crowded, everywhere is people. Then we make our own arrangement back to hotel; so I called her and meet up with her. Second day, we went o Sentosa Island for a half-day tour and then proceed to our office at Sentosa for a short presentation on the resort. After that we headed to Singapore Flyer, then Duwk tour and finally open top bus ride. The last day, after lunch we headed back to our homeland.

I’m upset becoz my son not missed me at all. The three days away from home, I did not receive a call from them and I did not call home too, expensive ma!!! :P

I’m going again to Singapore this Friday as this was planned earlier before I gotto know that the company is organizing a incentives trip to Singapore. So, I go there twice and spend twice and the exchange rates 2x higher than us. Everything double up hah…. LOL!!

Last but not least, my family and me here to wish everyone here Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!!!

Lack of confidence??

2008-12-01T15:13:00.000+08:00

I realized that Sebastian lack of confidence when come to competition, the first competition he had was Taekwando competition held last month. It was OK when we were on the way to the venue and he himself looking forward for it too. When we reached the venue he still look happily until we stepped into the hall. He started to pull back and cried. I talked to him and console him then his teacher came and had a word with him too.

Then when come to his turn he do not want to stepped in and cried even the master and his friend console him and his teacher too go and get him vitagen to bribe him. It does not work, so I ran towards him and talk to him too and tell him that I’ll bring him to Mega Kidz if the stopped crying and go for the competition. I even told him you don’t have to win and I just want you to step in the fighting ring. I tried many methods to bribe him but it unsuccessful. So I gave up and told the teacher to disqualified him.

At that moment, I’m really disappointed not that he did not win, but he didn’t even go and try. The next day, we talked to him and asked him what is the reason he pull back, he told us that he scare and have lots people at that time, then hubby explains to Sebastian what does competition means and have a clear picture for him on the environment of the competition this and that. He nodded that he understand the terms of competition and promise that he will go ahead and won’t be scare anymore.

Then come to Piano competition last Saturday at his centre among the centre students only and closed door where few teachers as the judges and parents. They grouped into few groups and Sebastian was in second group and it’s consisted of 8 – 10 students. Again, we talked to him everyday and even the day before his competition for him to prepared. He looked happily and said to us he will understand and won’t scare. So, when we reached the centre that evening, he looks calm and ask lots of question, but when come to his turn where teacher ushers the students and parents to the room, he started to look nervous and can see tears in his eyes. Again, he pull back and told us he do not want to enter the competition. I can tell you at that moment, I am really angry and disappointed, I did not talk to him, I know I shouldn’t behave like that but I can’t control myself. I let hubby take over and I went out to take a deep breath.
Is he really lack of confidence but if really no confidence at all, he still performance perfectly during the concert time. What had made him act like this? I really have no idea and scratching my head now. Is there any classes to built up confidence or should I enter more and more competition for him to get rid of his fear inside him.

Sebastian's School Progress in Pre-2

2008-11-28T21:24:00.001+08:00

Sebastian progress in Pre-2 getting slightly better and he did OK on his exam. He did very well on his Mandarin paper although is not 100% but I’m happy with the results he got. The poorest was Bahasa Melayu, his teacher mentioned he need to brush up his Bahasa Melayu. I know I have not put 100% effort on guiding or teaching him, so I told myself next year I really need to put extra effort on him if not, I’m afraid he can’t catch up when he is in Pri 1 the following year as we have registered him in Chinese School.

I heard a lot of comments on good and bad about Chinese School with loads of homework and pressure. I’m telling myself not to push as hard on him as I do not want him to get pressure on study at very young age.

His teacher commented on the progress report “Sebastian has a good learning attitude. He has shown responsibility through his neat work. He needs more practices and encouragement in Bahasa Melayu”.

So, this school holidays I bought few workbooks for him to do at granny house, I know school holidays he supposed to be enjoy and not to do all these, as I know he will be watching the idiot box from morning till we back in-law house to fetch them. So, I rather keep him busy in doing workbooks and at the same time he can practice BM.

Chut-chut~LESS

2008-11-14T12:18:00.002+08:00

On last Saturday morning, when she wake up and walk toward me where I’m still half awake and told me “Mummy, I grown up already, I dunwan chut-chut (pacifier) anymore, I throw away OK”….. am I dreaming or what?? So, I’m not bother to ask or praise her, coz she changes her mind very quickly.

Day one past peacefully follows by day two and day three were at in-law house where MIL kept extra chut-chut incase she look for it. Then she saw the chut-chut, she asked MIL why is she still keeping it coz she don’t suck it anymore. She asked MIL to throw it away. My girl really grown up huh… she doesn’t suck chut chut anymore.

Until today, she is not looking for it and not even mentioned about it, it’s all come so naturally, we din even force her or use any tactic for her to get rid of it. Hope that she really grown up as she said, LOL!!!

Lunch Box

2008-11-10T16:33:00.002+08:00

Finally I went and bought lunch box at 100yen shop last Saturday, so no more excuses for not start bento-ing. LOL!!

Black Magic

2008-11-06T23:12:00.001+08:00

When I was typing this, my stupid dumb dumb maid come to me and tell me something …………………………

She come and apologies to me on all the mistakes she done, ok before I continue the juicy story, let me briefly tell about my stupid dumb dumb maid

Keep clothes for two or three days before folding and ironing, dunno keep it for what
Folds clothes like shit which I taught her many times already
Iron clothes like never been iron and I taught her that too, but still the same
Put my clothes into hubby rack and hubby into mine, until now she still dunno how to differentiate it
Mixed up all the pyjamas for Sidney n Sebastian, which I told her many times that to be keep in as paired
Very forgetful, tell her many times to check this and that what to bring when we go out but every time sure will forget one thing
Told her many times before go to sleep, make sure living room is clear not toys lying around but….. still the same
Reminded her when see people around, greet people don’t stand there like kayu, and it’s still the same
When ask her to look after the kids, she really ‘LOOK’ at the kids, ya… she is looking, staring at the kids only *slap head*
And many more to list down which I lazy to crack my head

Ok, let’s continue my juicy story, oppss ya, one more thing, she like to sing, she will singing when she do her work and talking to herself too… scary or not… ok ok let’s continue…

Her apologies to me and tell me that I can send her back to agent if I still upset with her work. So, I told her since you know that you make me upset all the times, then buck up your work and do it properly. Do repeat the mistake. Then she told me the reason behind why she always forget this forget that and dreaming is she kena ‘ilmu hitam’ (black magic). This ‘teman’ of her (I guess is boyfriend) do black magic to her and make her think of him only that is why she always forgetful and ask my help to help her to get rid of this black magic. She told me a lot of thing which I really don’t understand her slang therefore I stare blankly at her and told her that I don’t know all these things and I will call agent tomorrow and get it settle. She told me that she really wish to work with me just that her mind can’t stop thinking.

I don’t know whether her story is true but for sure is just her reason. Now, I really don’t know want to laugh at her story or to cry and I’m so sick and tired of these. Really want to kick her off.

Kindie.....

2008-11-06T22:28:00.003+08:00

I have finally enrolled Sidney into the same kindie as Sebastian currently attending. I’m longing to enroll her into this kindie but hubby wanted Sidney to go kindie together with his kor kor, so his kor kor can take care of her. So I give in for next year but the following year I will change her kindie as I really felt the current kindie Sebastian is attending is getting bad to worst. The teacher turnover is so high when he was in Pre-1 and when he in Pre-2 so far no changes of her class teacher but found teacher were sleeping in the classroom. Next year would be Pre-3, hopefully it would be a good one.

At first I wanted to change his kindie but seem next year would be his final year and he does not wish to change so I just let go. Do not want him to be so upset and get himself fit into new environment again.

Again not to miss out the Holiday Camp organized by his kindie, I’ve enrolled him too, since the last Holiday Camp he likes it so much. Managed to get one of the teacher to transport him so no worry for me now. BTW, he got another field trip next week, he will be going to Aquaria, actually am planning to bring him there during the school holidays, since he is going soon then I can save the trip. :P

Addtional "Ka Chang"

2008-11-05T10:06:00.003+08:00

See… see… another batch of ‘ka chang’ all the way from Taiwan. My colleague went to Taiwan, so we asked her to look around for all these stuff. Not managed to get all I want but only few of these better than nothing rite! I’ve also ordered few items from CP.

It’s seems that I collected lots of bento stuff but yet to do anything for my kiddos. Need to checkout my collections see got ‘fat mou’ or not, LOL!!

Maternity Wear

2008-11-02T00:00:00.001+08:00

I’m not planning for #3 unless accidently *touch wood*, so some of my maternity wear lend it to my friends and some was given away. When I was pregnant with #1 and #2, I just love to go shopping and shop around for maternity wear, so I bought quite a lot of maternity wear at that time as I want to look beautiful on my pregnancy. I still remember that on my sister’s wedding, I’m wearing high heel to attend the dinner and get scolded from all my aunties and uncles. Pregnant woman also wanted to look pretty too beside the bride, LOL!

I know that not many of you are not like me who still want to look beautiful; some even don’t want to bother about how they look like or their wearing. If you were just lazy to shop around for maternity wear, you can just do it at home and shop online for stylish maternity wear from basic maternity t-shirts to professional maternity work wear, furthermore you can find varieties of maternity designers to suit you like Ingrid and Isabel or Japanese Weekend Maternity and many more.

We are not just wanted to look stylish or beautiful but also want to wear it comfortably.

Football Fans

2008-10-31T17:00:00.002+08:00

Must quickly go and tell hubby that Carlberg is launching a web-TV channel at http://www.partofthegame.tv/ so I don’t have to fight with hubby on TV. He is a football fan and with EPL around, especially on weekend, he will just stick on the TV, now I can kick him to the study room and watch web-tv. They comes with 5 channel which showing all aspect about football, so hubby can really enjoying himself in that cozy room since our internet line is unlimited usage one. LOL!!

Additional Bento Stuff

2008-10-29T14:04:00.002+08:00

See, what I have asked my sister to get for me in Daiso. Now, I got a lot of this ‘ka chang’ but I’m yet to do any proper bento for my kiddos. Blame on the laziness me; btw I have not got any lunch box yet, LOL!!

Family Getaway

2008-10-28T22:14:00.002+08:00

Hubby went to Bali with his colleagues for his company trip and I did not follow, thus I’m arranging my own family trip to Ipoh for 3D2N as it was a long weekend. We drove two cars from KL and one from Penang and the meeting point is Ipoh. I’ve rented three rooms apartment from a colleague of mine; the apartment is spacious enough to accommodate a dozen of us

On the first day we went to Lost World Tambun, it’s was pack of people, nothing much there, just waste of time and $$$. Then at night we went to Ipoh Old Town to have famous chicken rice and had a walked at pasar malam.

The next day my aunt planning to go Bukit Merah then back to Penang. We did not follow so we plan our itinerary. Out of sudden Cameron Highland popped up in my mind, so I get the direction how to go Cameron Highland from Ipoh. Reached there noon, went for lunch then went for some marketing, lot’s of people and jammed everywhere. By evening, we headed back to Ipoh.

The last day we wake up early check out from the apartment and went for dim sum at Ipoh Old Town then walk around that area to buy some biscuits and salted chicken. After that we start our journey to Tg. Tualang for the famous “Tai Tou Har” then back home.

For the whole journey, we are enjoying, excited and tired too. In my whole life, this was longest trip that I ever drove from KL to Ipoh, then to Cameron Highlands, after that to Tg. Tualang and finally back to KL.

Last Saturday we were celebrating Sidney birthday and at the same times Sebastian is having his kindie concert. Everything was so rush, luckily there is my mom, sister and in-law helping out.

Sebastian’s kindie concert was held at 4pm at Hulu Langat one of the private school and we have to send him to the venue by 2.30pm for the preparation and we parent was directed to canteen where refreshments was served, and of coz this school won’t be missed out the opportunity to introduce their facilities to the parents too.

The concert start on time and finished at 6.30pm, should have ask the permission from the teacher to let Sebastian leave earlier but this was not pop in my mind at that time. After collected Sebastian, we have rush home luckily from Hulu Langat back to our home not that far. By the time we reached home is about 7.30pm coz we went to collect Sidney’s birthday cake and everyone was started to eat.

Although we were so rush that day but everything seems to worth it coz of them ~ Sebastin n Sidney, my precious stone.

She had her ear pierced

2008-10-17T22:00:00.003+08:00

Few more days Sidney is turning 3yrs old, so tomorrow we will be celebrating her birthday earlier at home with close family. I ordered Cupcakes from Alice but unfortunately she was not able to make it as she is not in town, she will only be coming to KL next week, thus I booked her earlier for Sebastian birthday next year Mar, hopefully she will be able to make it.

So, today I brought my missy vain pot to ear piercing, at first she was a bit skeptical, then I told her she will look very pretty when she had her ear pierced. She was convinced and follows me to jewelry shop to have her ear pierced. She seated quietly and let the promoter did whatever they wanted to do and once her ear got pierced, she cried out loud but just for a little while, then she started to run here and there already o.O

This are the earing that I bought yesterday when we were in Pavilion for lunch

Last Day (01.10) @ Langkawi

2008-10-02T15:29:00.005+08:00

Luckily last day at Langkawi the weather is getting better no raining, partly cloudy. Managed to get into the pool and playing sand at beachside which they have been making noise since day one we reach here. After that we check out from the hotel and proceed to Cable car which I have also bought the entrance tickets during the fair. Quite disappointed, the hanging bridge was close for work progress and it was very misty can’t see anything from the top. Then we went to Kuah town again for lunch and jalan jalan, buy some chocolates, and precede our journey to airport to depart to Kuala Lumpur.

Reached LCCT and received a sms from my friend saying the news advise ppl not to go northern due to bad weather no island hopping and I’m back to my home sweet home, safe n sound.

Overall is a very relaxing holiday, we spent most of our time at the resort.

Day 2 (30.09) @ Langkawi

2008-10-02T14:24:00.007+08:00

It’s was still raining so we can’t have outdoor activities so we went to Underwater World and Bird Paradise where I bought these entrance tickets during the Matta Fair. After went to these two places, no where else can go so we went back to resort and it’s still raining. So basically these two days we were in our resort and hopefully the last day in langkawi the weather is better coz we have to go to cable car.

Day 1 (29.09) @ Langkawi

2008-10-02T13:43:00.004+08:00

This is first time we brought Sidney to take flight and abit worried coz don’t know whether she will be cranky, crying, yelling and luckily she did not make a big fuss. We reached Langkawi on time but the weather in Langkawi not well, its drizzling most of the time. Then we went to Kuah town to have lunch after that we headed to hotel for check-in. Did not go anywhere on the first day coz its raining, went to the beach for a while then to Jacuzzi pool. At night went to Kuah town to had dinner.

Breakfast Bento #2

2008-09-28T17:13:00.002+08:00

This is my 2nd creation of simple breakfast, they loved it!

Sebastian @ Kindie

2008-09-24T11:20:00.001+08:00

My in-law was complaining to me that someone took Sebastian’s eraser not once but more than ten erasers gone with the wind. So when I reached home I asked Sebastian, where does all the erasers went to? He said that the girl sitting beside her took it and did not return it to him and this same girl taken most of his erasers. Then I asked him did he told his teacher about it, nope, coz teacher very fierce.

So, this morning I drop by the kindie and went into his class and when I stepped I saw his teacher was taking a nap, then I knocked the door and she quickly wake up. Don’t this a bad idea taking a nap in front of so many kids and some more in the classroom.

Then I told her what happen and at the same time that little girl walk into the class, so the teacher call her in front and asked her. She said no she did not take and teacher took her bag and check and found one eraser belong to Sebastian, and the rest of erasers don’t where it gone to.

After that, she explained to me why she talks very fierce to Sebastian. It’s because Sebastian’s very talkative, disturbed other kids when he finished his exercises, walking around in the classroom and some times disappeared from class when teacher walk out for 5mins and come and found him at toilet or other’s class *fainted*. Teacher told me that Sebastian is a smart boy he know what teacher is teaching him is just that he cannot sit still in one place and need to move around.

When her was in P1 his teacher telling me the same thing already, after he finished his exercises he likes to walk around and disturb his classmate. Now he is in P2 and he still doing the same thing. I wonder whether is this a sickness/hyperactive kid. Need to find out more.

Last Weekend

2008-09-23T12:21:00.006+08:00

Since my maid is here, although she is slow with her work but I got plenty of time with kids and hubby, furthermore, lesser yelling now, become more lovely mother and wife LOL!!

So, last weekend I prepared breakfast for kids and hubby, well for the kids one it’s a bit disappointed coz the eggs I’m using too small for the mould so it’s very deformed as well as the sausages is too huge so when I cut it, it’s like really out of shape. Well the kids like it so much and asked me to prepare again next time.

After the breakfast, they had Ribena ice pops which they waiting eagerly since Friday night. Then they had it again on Sunday which was mango flavour which I fresh squeeze from the mango I bought from supermarket.

They are looking forward for coming weekend to see what surprises I give them again LOL!

My Tummy

2008-09-16T09:58:00.000+08:00

Last weekend after Sebastian’s music class, we go shopping at 1U only him and me. Hubby was away overseas, and I left Sidney and maid at in-law house. So I can enjoy my shopping with Sebastian.

Was looking for swimsuit so I can wear it during our Langkawi trip this month end. While I was trying swimsuit with Sebastian together in the fitting room, he looked at me, as I was half naked only wear bra n panty.

Then he said “Mummy, why your tummy like old woman” he actually said it very loud in the fitting room, I really don’t know outside got people waiting but I asked him to lower his voice when talking to me in fitting room. At that moment, my heart sank and I just want to bang myself onto the wall. Uuuwaaaaaaaaa!!!!

I really wanna get rid of my sagging and ‘choa pei’ tummy. How????? Go for tummy tuck but I scare. Whatever is it from today onwards, I will watch out my diet and do more exercise.

Her 5th Day

2008-09-15T17:09:00.000+08:00

Today is her 5th day with us and has a word with her. She is #3 among 5 siblings, the oldest aged 24 and youngest 13. She claims she is 21yrs old but gods know how old she is. To me she looks younger than that.

She still very slow with her works and sometimes very forgetful too, for example last night she wash our clothes then go ironing by the time finish almost 11pm plus and she go straight to sleep. So, before I go to sleep I went to check out her work and found out the clothes, which already washed still in washing machine. This morning I asked her why she did not hang the clothes, she told me forgot. Ok, never mind, still new, give her another chance.

Today, I drafted out the timetable for her and get it translated in bahasa Indonesia to make sure she understands. Gave her one-month to settle down everything and hopefully she would able to catch up all the housework by then without telling me forget this forget that.

Maid is HERE!!!!

2008-09-11T23:49:00.001+08:00

From today onwards, I will my legs shaking at home and pointing at what I want and ask the maid to get it for me, then you will see my buttock growing bigger and bigger.. LOL!!!

I no longer needs to sweep floor, mopping floor, washing toilet bowls, washing clothes, hanging clothes, save my $$ sending clothes to dobby for ironing and lots and lots more which I lost count.

She spoke very soft until I don’t know what she trying to tell me and need to ask her to repeat it many times. The first thing she do when she arrived at my home is folding clothes, which I’ve not touch for few days, almost reach Mount KK.

Both my kids very excited seeing her kakak and keep on calling kakak non-stop *pening kepala*. Sidney was asking my why our kakak look different after coming back from Indonesia, so, I told her that this is a new kakak and she happily accepted her.

I have not given her the schedule which she needs to follow as I want to briefed her first to make sure she understand what is her job scope. I repeated many times and show her what to do and how to do. Hope she really understand what I trying to tell her.

Today just a first day, there is more to come and hope that is a good one.

First Tooth Dropped

2008-09-09T15:17:00.004+08:00

Sebastian tooth finally dropped. I do not know how does it happen as at that time I was working. Hubby told me that he was eating char siu rice and his teeth dropped with little bleeding. No pulling by mum and no seeing dentist.

Now, his second tooth is shaking, so waiting for it to drop by itself.

Shaky's Tooth

2008-09-04T10:43:00.007+08:00

Last week Sebastian told me that his tooth is shaking and I just ignore him without checking it too. Last night he came to me again to shows his shaking teeth and I take a peep, then I saw two permanent lower permanent teeth coming out but the shaking ones yet to drop off.

Can u see there is actually two permanent teeth inside and the shaky's tooth on the outer part.

When I was young that time, my mom used to pull out my shaky tooth without visiting any dentist. But now, I dare not to extract Sebastian shaky teeth even hubby too. Maybe this weekend goes back to mom house and asks her to extract it or better to bring him to see dentist, yet to decide.

My new maid is coming soon........

2008-08-31T02:13:00.002+08:00

Got good news from my agent, my new maid is coming on 9 Sep and I’m so excited about it but on the other hand I’m worry too.

I’m worrying the new maid ~ compare to the last one better or worst
I’m worrying the new maid ~ disobey my instructions
I’m worrying the new maid ~ flirting around as she only 21 yrs old (my last maid also a young maid)
I’m worrying the new maid ~ beating my kids
I’m worrying the new maid ~ a lazy maid
I’m worrying the new maid ~ telling lie
I’m worrying the new maid ~ unhygienic

This is my second time getting maid, first one was with us for 3yrs. Now I’m back to 3yrs ago with so many questions popping out in my mind. Maybe listen to too much complaint about the maid recently around me and this make me worry. I’ve even drafted the new schedule for the new maid to follow.

Heard from some of my friend they have to wait for few months to get new maid some even can’t give exact date coz now Indon maid is going to HK, Taiwan, Singapore and even Middle East as they pay higher compared here. But I’m lucky that I’m don’t have to wait long to get the new maid, is less than two months.

Pray that this maid won’t give us so many problems.

A Short Trip to Penang

2008-08-25T23:19:00.030+08:00

How we spend our school holidays? Our initial planned was going to Malacca to visit n stay at my friend house (free stay, free meals everything free except petrol n toll – am I rite!) but it was called off due to hubby outstation trip, so we heading to North instead which is Penang. Hubby was in Ipoh then Penang.

I drove all the way from KL to Penang with three monkeys and my mom. Luckily they did not make a big fuss during the journey to Penang, if not I will throw them one by one out of the car. It’s quite tiring driving alone and I hope I did not get summon(s)… hehehe

It was raining when we reach Butterworth and the rest of the days were hot. Did not go anywhere on first day, rest n relax at aunt house. On 2nd day, we planned to go Bukit Bendera (more than 10yrs did not go there) but the cable car was closed so we head to Batu Ferringhi. At night was at Gurney Drive and heading back to Butterworth. 3rd day preparing to return KL and before heading back we went to my late grandfather house.

Visit to Orphanage

2008-08-13T17:05:00.008+08:00

Was at orphanage last Saturday but for a while only as I bring along my two monkeys without helper. It was a hot afternoon, and both my monkeys making noise and wanted to go home so I called hubby for help at least to look after them but I left early too coz Sebastian has extra class.

This event was organized by Sales & Marketing dept and had a little party with food and games for the children. We also make small donations to the children on top of the donating them the raffles draw money from the Sales & Marketing Annual Dinner Night.

Will make another trip there this year-end since is just a stone away from my house.

08.08.08

2008-08-08T11:36:00.004+08:00

One year ago, I did this tag, and today, I did not fulfill my wish. Anyone of you fulfill what you have planned one year ago??

Today 08.08.08 is my 7th Itchy ROM Anniversary, and as usual waking up early in the morning and prepare to go to work. Tonight, hubby and me will go “pak tor” (dating) but yet to decide where to have our romantic dinner. Hmmmm…… maybe just ask hubby to “tar pau” (take away) Fried Hokkien Mee and stay at home to watch Olympic 2008 opening ceremony.

Just a note to hubby:-

"Love is more than just walking into each other's life.... It's about walking together in the same direction. Thanks honey..... for being there always!!

HAPPY ANNIVERSARY TO US!!!!"

Like Daddy Like Dotter

2008-08-07T23:25:00.003+08:00

Since my maid left I’m sleeping with my kiddos at their room and hubby sleep at his own in our room. Normally, in the middle of the night Sidney will wake up and walked to our room and wake up daddy to make milk for her and sleep at our room. (phewwww… luckily she’s not wake me up…. *evil smile*)

This morning when I walked to our room and wake up hubby, I saw this, so I quickly walked to take my camera and snap it.

See the way they sleep, almost the same rite!! hehe

Mummy, I LOVE U....

2008-08-04T22:48:00.001+08:00

When I caught her drinking vitagen without asking my permission… she will quickly hugs me and say “Mummy, I LOVE U…”

When I caught her smacking her kor kor… she will quickly hugs me and say “Mummy, I LOVE U…”

When I caught her bullying her daddy… she will quickly hugs me and say “Mummy, I LOVE U…”

When I caught her snatching her kor kor toys while her kor kor is playing… she will quickly hugs me and say “Mummy, I LOVE U…”

You tell me how to scold this cheeky girl, my heart also melt already with all these words.

My Cheeky Girl Fell Down

2008-07-31T11:03:00.005+08:00

My cheeky girl just like tomboy, she follow exactly what Sebastian is doing *headache*. Last night she fell down from sofa at in-law house. While she was jumping on the sofa seats, Sebastian trips her and she fell down from the sofa and built a 'bungalow' for us. She cried for a while then starts to jump again. *sigh*

I'm getting new MAID

2008-07-28T12:32:00.000+08:00

After the madness that I’m going thru for the past three weeks without maid, finally we have decided to get new maid. I’ve thinking for so long whether to get one or do it all by myself. I’m telling myself that I can do it even without maid, but I found out that my temper is getting bad to worst since the maid left.

I’ve been yelling from my room to the kitchen and from the store room to the bathroom just can’t stop yelling like a mad woman in the house. If you were to stay at the same condo with me, I think you could hear this mad woman yelling every night till 10pm when the monkeys go to sleep.

Even my hubby complain about me, he said he rather come home late than hearing me yelling like mad woman. So, can you imagine how worst am I?

Additional to my New Toys

2008-07-28T12:00:00.003+08:00

Got this from my sis in Singapore, and still waiting for my order, which hopefully will reach me by next week. I just realized that I only get the accessories but yet to get the lunch box, wanna go online shopping again.

This Saturday will try to make cute breakfast for my kiddos, dunno what is their reaction when seeing all these cute thingy. Will they enjoy their cute breakfast?

I'M OFFICIALLY A MAID NOW!

2008-07-21T10:24:00.000+08:00

Last Friday nite, I called her few times, she did not pick up my calls and she even switched off the phone. Then the next morning I tried again, and the phone totally off can’t even get thru. After that by noon when the flight departs from her kampong, I called up the airlines to check whether she did on board and NO… this passenger did not check-in, so I know the answer that she won’t be back.

After that I called up my agent to inform him that my maid did not turn up which she supposed to be and my agent told me that he will inform his agent in Indonesia to call my maid to reconfirm that she won’t be back so I can make a report to cancel her work permit… etc.

At the first place, if she knows that she won’t want to continue, why the heck she agreed to continue. If she told me she do not want to continue then she can have all her salary bank in to her. Such a stupid maid, rather lose the balance of her salary with me.

So, now I’m officially a maid to my beloved family.

Forgetful Mom, Forgetful Son

2008-07-17T10:56:00.001+08:00

I’m really a forgetful mom and also wife, every time sure kena from hubby when he reminded me to remind him on some important thing. And I have one forgetful son at home too. o.O

For the past week since no maid I felt more absentminded. Every Thursday, Sebastian got gym class so he will wear his Sport’s wear. Last week he wore his school uniform coz I totally forgot and he only reminded me when we are on the way to his kindy and he ask me “Mummy, what day is today?” So, I told him “It’s Thursday”, and then he replied back “How come you din change Sport’s wear coz I got gym today”….. in my mind saying “Oh sh*t!!” and replied him “Oppss!! Sebastian, so sorry, mummy forgot about it, please explain to teacher saying mummy forgot already, ok!”

Today, it’s happen again, he asking me same question and I have same answered for him. Then he said “Mummy, why you every time forget… forget… forget one” O.O I told him that he also very forgetful and only told me at very last minutes.

Another incident happen last week, Sebastian reminded me to buy one fruit to bring to school as teacher wanna teach them on fruit. So, I said ok and I totally forgot about it until the following day on the way to In-law house, Sebastian quickly stand up and ask me did I buy fruit for him to bring to school? I silent for a second, and answer him that I’m going to market now and buy it, so I asked him what fruit he need to bring. He told me Papaya, so I ask hubby quickly make a turn to market to buy papaya. *pheewwwwww*

Hhmmm…. Need to ask hubby to buy Ginkgo for me already : P

Classes for Sebastian

2008-07-14T17:49:00.003+08:00

Was informed by Sebastian’s instructor that she will organize the Tae Kwan Do tournament among her students. The dates have been confirmed and the venue will be at APIIT College, Bukit Jalil. Another even that I’m looking forward to beside his concert in the year-end.

Some of my friends and colleagues commented that am I getting too many activities for Sebastian, as he is only 5. I know I’m a KIASUMUM but I’ve also tried to limit those unnecessary activities. So far, Sebastian only attended Tae Kwan Do and Music Class, which is on weekend, is it too much for him?

First Time

2008-07-14T16:36:00.001+08:00

Yesterday was our first time that we brought Sidney to watch movie at cinema. We went to 1U to watch Kung Fu Panda, I know it’s a bit late, however we managed to catch up the movie before its end.

I’m a bit sceptical at first, coz Sidney doesn’t like loud sound or music and she will start to cry and yell when these loud sounds played. And to my surprise she did it without showing any sign or scariness. She enjoyed the movie from beginning till the end except for those peed and pooed break.

So, we are looking forward for next movie and will definitely bring Sidney along. Gambateh!!!

7 Days without Maid

2008-07-12T19:50:00.001+08:00

It’s has been one week since my maid left to her kampong. Everything still under control, only thing that I’m yet to get it done is the ironing. I really hate ironing. I only iron half of our working cloths; hopefully tomorrow will get it done.

Hubby asked me whether I can manage if our maid did not come back on 19 Jul. I told hubby I can if our maid really did not turn up next Saturday and I told hubby not to worry about me, what he need to worry is her mum.

The more house work I do, the fastest I get to slim down rite… LOL!!!

My New Toys

2008-07-11T15:38:00.003+08:00

Seeing so many mummies very into bento-ing now…. and make me wanna do for my kiddos too. I have bought few accessories when my sis went to Singapore but not many choices as most of the stuff they’re out of stock. I have also ordered some items from NST and yet to arrive, coz some items is pre-order item, therefore I have to wait.

So, hopefully this weekend I am hardworking enough to prepare cutie breakfast for my kiddos.

Happy Bento-ing……

Part-Time Helper

2008-07-08T16:34:00.005+08:00

Finally I got my part-time helper to lighten my housework. Although my part-time helper sometimes mess up my thing but they are really helpful. And the most important is I don’t have to pay a single cent. : P

Nicely clean up by my part-time helper

Nah.... my two helpers

Right shirt fold by me and left shirt fold by Sebastian, my part-time helper

So, I praise them for their good work, both so happy especially Sebastian. He is so proud. Later when I was in the room Sebastian running towards me and show me the milk that he make it himself. I’m so shock and told him nicely that he can’t go into the kitchen and make milk coz of the hot water. He got little bit of upset and I explain to him the reason. He nodded his head and had his milk.

Don’t how long does this last? Will he continue to help me on the clean up or mess up everything… LOL!!!

Call from maid

2008-07-07T11:58:00.000+08:00

I reminded my maid to call me once she reaches her kampong. I waited the whole Saturday she did not call me and only call me on Sunday early in the morning. She told me the flight delays till 3.30pm only depart and she reached her kampong midnight.

Later in the afternoon I got two-missed call from her, the she called again in the evening. I pick up the call and she asked me the money that I TT to her when she will receive. So, I told her for the next two or three days depending on the bank efficiency. She asks whether I can send the balance of the money, which still with me coz her mom, owe someone 18mil IDR, I said NO.

I had a feeling that she do not want to come back so she want me to send back all the money so she give me all sort of reason. I told her no way and I hang up to the phone. So, now whether she wants to come back or not, I don’t care, I spent almost 2k to renew her passport and work permit and I’m not that stupid to send all the money back to her.

Whoever die also not my problem, BIG LIAR!!!

Sports Day

2008-07-07T00:20:00.001+08:00

Sebastian’s Sports Day was held at Stadium Putra Bukit Jalil together with others centre’s within Klang Valley. This is the first time we attend the Sports Day, so I am really excited about it. All the parents was so excited, once their kids marching all the parents run to the front to take pictures of their kids including me, so kiasu, LOL! And I managed to grab one seat at the front and left my in-law, hubby and Sidney behind, coz mummy wanna take picture of Sebastian so no choice, sorry ya, hubby!! :)

All these photos were taken from mummy’s phone a bit blur not those DSLR, so now looking forward the pictures / video from school.

A Hectic Saturday

2008-07-07T00:03:00.001+08:00

Morning
Wake up early in the morning to prepare to send maid to airport and at the same time received sms saying flight retime from 10.55am to 2.55pm. Haiz… I have to reschedule my itinerary becoz of this stupid airline retime their flight. Instead of me n hubby going, I have to get in-law n the kiddos along, since Sebastian’s Sports Day is at 2pm. Reached airport went to check-in counter and her luggage was overweight by 11kg and has to pay RM165. So she paid for it then I went to money changer to get some IDR for her as a pocket money. Sidney was like koala bear stick to the maid and do not want to let go her. When her kakak went into the immigration, she cried so loud and everyone was looking at us as if I kidnap the little girl. So embarrassing…

Afternoon
So, quickly get out from LCCT and proceed to Bukit Jalil. We have to reach there by 1pm but with the jammed at Sg Besi we reached around 1.30pm. And their activities finished by 4pm then quickly rush home and take a rest before continue with another event.

Evening
Rush to visit my buddy as she just gave birth to baby boy but she was discharge from the hospital without informing me… o.O then from Bangsar we rush to Sri Petaling to attend hubby’s friend full moon party. We reached there around 8,30pm and all the food almost finished. Hubby managed to get a little bit of mee hoon, little bit of fried rice and few sticks of stay for four of us. The rest gone… and drinks also habis except for beer. O.O
Luckily I’m not that hungry at that time, so I told hubby that he stay at his friend’s full moon party and I’m going to my buddy house to see her baby.

Then, on the way back to my home sweet home. we tar pau supper and have a nice meals at home.

NO Maid for two weeks

2008-07-04T23:49:00.003+08:00

As requested by ‘them’, hubby had renewed the working permit for ‘their’ maid. This maid will continue to work with ‘them’ or me for next two years. So, tomorrow our maid will flying back to her kampong for two weeks.

I’ve done all the checking of her stuff in her BIG LUGGAGE that she will be bringing home. I dig out the entire stuff in her bag including her bra n panty that she nicely folds and check every single clothes from top to bottom and every single part of her clothes in her bag. Nothing has been found. Now, the bag has been locked by me and the key will only give to her tomorrow. And her luggage is really really heavy… I think is much heavier than her. LOL!!

I’ve also told her that her luggage is overweight and she has to pay the extra charges. If not she think that I will be paying for her.

So, from tomorrow onwards I’m going to do the entire house cleaning from sweeping to mopping, washing to ironing and etc… etc.. etc.. Hubby reminded me to check with the maid on all the stuff she keep so I won’t be like looking up and down for the thing that we need to use later when she is not here. Haizz… as if I stayed in BIG BUNGALOW house that I can’t even find all the stuff that she kept.

Why?

2008-07-02T21:32:00.003+08:00

Sometimes when having conversation with your kids is really funny, the way they talk, and they way they ask question. Sometimes you will just stick there as we do not know how to answer their question which is just a simple question.

While I’m taking my shower n Sidney doing her ‘business’
Sidney: Mummy… why I got no nen nen geh? (She is comparing hers and mine) o.O
Mummy: Sidney will have it when you grown up
Sidney: Mummy… why u shower?
Mummy: Coz mummy just came back from work and body smelly
Sidney: Why your body smelly?
Mummy: Coz mummy work whole day and it’s hot outside
Sidney: Why outside so hot?
Mummy: Coz no rain that why is hot?
Sidney: Why no rain?
Mummy: ………………………..
Sidney: Mummy, where you buy the shampoo?
Mummy: At shopping mall
Sidney: Which shopping mall?
Mummy: Jusco
Sidney: Jusco arhhh….. I want to go Jusco
Mummy: ………………………..

And Sidney continues to ask so many questions till I finished shower. O.O

Fighting Issue Again

2008-06-18T22:08:00.002+08:00

First they are fighting over the toys, then they fighting over the TV, after that they fighting over the books, they fight verbally……. and now they fight over the TOILET

Yes, they really fight over the TOILET. They fight which toilet they want to use, they fight who run faster to the toilet, they fight who get to use the toilet first, as if I only have one and only toilet in my house.

When Sebastian said he wanna poo poo, then Sidney will quickly ran over and said she wanna poo poo too. This cheeky girl will quickly push away her kor kor and sit on the toilet bowl and this poor kor kor had to go to another toilet to use. If the kor kor wanna ‘shee shee’ than this cheeky girl also wanna ‘shee shee’ and they start fighting. Haiz, these two monsters really make me crazy sometimes.

They can really fight… fight over anything and everything

Sebastian's Progress @ School

2008-06-14T17:38:00.000+08:00

Today went to Sebastian kindergarten to collect his Progress Card and have chat with his teacher for a while. At least the teacher that taught him is the same not like previous year.

Teacher commented that Sebastian very talkative, whenever he finished his work, he will start to disturb his classmates. This is what teacher commented on his Progress Card “Sebastian is a diligent boy and has a positive learning attitude. He has shown improvement in all his work. Keep it up and Well done, Sebastian!

Lookout Point

2008-05-24T23:25:00.010+08:00

We went to Hulu Langat for our dinner today as suggested by hubby. Chinnee also had been there. I didn’t know it was the place that was mentioned by Chinnee until I get there. From my house it takes about 10 minutes drive, quite near though.

Not advisable to go on weekend, if do so, please go there early if you want to secure your parking at the top of the hill. Parking on top is very limited, or you may park your car at the bottom and climb the steep steps to the restaurant. Luckily we managed to find parking up there if not gotto do a bit of exercise.

There are about four restaurants which are Look Out Point, Gasoline Café, Bread & Olive Café and BBQ. Wanted to try Look Out Point but it was full so we headed to Gasoline Café instead.

Two of the restaurants up there

Sat at cubicle

Steak with satay sauce. hehehe... only shown one of our dinner coz mummy is very hungry oledi.

After dinner we went to Menara Tinjau to see the KL scenery

Walkway to the tower

I still find the KL scenery from my balcony even better. Sebastian was curious, he thought got something exciting to see at the top of tower, when we climb on top the tower just to see the scenery he was little bit upset. He said we can see this everyday at home... LOL!!!

Taekwando

2008-05-24T18:08:00.002+08:00

Sebastian had taekwando exam last week. He woke up at a little moody but overall the exam went well. Today, Sebastian received his green belt as he had passed his exam. The examiner said Sebastian did very well except few of the pattern he need to practice more frequent.

Receiving his green belt from his master

Receiving his certificate (6th grade)

Missy Vain Pot @ 2yrs 7mths

2008-05-23T23:34:00.006+08:00

Sidney is turning 2yrs and 7mth today and now stands at 91cm, weight 13kg. My last post about Sidney when she was at 27 months. See, mummy did not update about your progress for so long.

Very talkative and can put all words in a sentence but her conversation sometimes is not very clear, it’s may due to having her chut chut in her mouth while talking. She is diaper less in daytime but nighttime yet to train her.

Her character is totally different from Sebastian. She have her own way of doing thing, she will listen to you when she feel like it. Or else, she will just ignore you.

When talking to her or telling her what is right and what is wrong, she keep nodding her head thought she understand what am I telling her. For a seconds, turning around she do what I told her earlier not to do.

She is daddy girl, very attached to daddy; anything she wants she will only look for daddy coz mummy don’t give. Almost every night she will walk to our room and look for daddy to sleep with him so she will squeeze in between us. If daddy is outstation she will walk back to her room and sleep, don’t even want to sleep with mummy : (

She is jealous when daddy is hugging me or holding my hand. She will start to cry very loud and get his daddy attention and want daddy to carry her or holding her hand only.

My Missy Vain Pot………………..

School Holidays

2008-05-23T22:31:00.001+08:00

Its school holidays for two weeks and the happiest one will be the kids. So, what is in my plan???

Already applied two days leave to accompany them which is the following week
Thursday will be going up hill for a day trip with my sis and the kiddos
Friday will bring them to Lake Garden, then Bird Park and follow by Butterfly Park
Saturday is PH will bring them to Water Park. Have not confirmed which water park to go. Ie. Sunway (sure crowded one), Desa (never been there) or Shah Alam (too far)
Sunday will bring Sebastian to watch Ironman, Sidney will be at my mum house, won’t bring Sidney along
Will get some workbook for Sebastian to do if not MIL will just put on TV for him to watch
Need to train Sebastian to write B, D, C and E coz he always write it reverse o.O

Although above is not a perfect plan but I hope Sebastian and Sidney will happy wherever I bring them. Hubby will not follow as he is very busy and furthermore that week he will be outstation.

So, this superwoman will gao dim everything!!!

Family Vacations

2008-05-17T00:45:00.000+08:00

I think many of you may have booked your trip to somewhere at very attractive rates or even a free seats since the two airlines is fighting with each other on low fares. I wanted to grab some free seats to Hong Kong again next year but all free seats have been taken up.

Then I planned for my local trip instead. I managed to grab free seats to Langkawi this end September and lower fares rates to KK next year. I wanted to get lowest fares to Langkawi or KK this coming school holidays or August school holidays but all seats offered are very expensive not worth paying. So, my boy got to ponteng school again this end September. I can still let him ponteng once a while but not when he goes to Primary One. :P

I’m also planning a trip to Pangkor Laut Resort for my ROM anniversary on 8 Aug 2008, only hubby and myself for 2nd honeymoon. But don’t know it will happen or not. Gotto discuss with hubby first. He is very busy nowadays and can’t make up his mind.

Happy long weekend!!!

Getting Better Now

2008-05-17T00:43:00.000+08:00

Thanks a lot for all you advise.

I’m getting better now after blasted it out yesterday and today. So, from now on, I will not get involve on the maid issue again. They insist to get back the old maid, go ahead and please don’t come and complaint to me at the end of the day. That’s it.

I just got back home from company dinner and clubbing. Our company is organizing a Thank you / Appreciation Dinner at the hotel nearby our workplace. The buffet serving at the hotel is very lousy, although all foods look yummy but it’s tasteless except for the Char Kuay Teow. After dinner, few of our colleagues suggested to go for a drink, so I joined them since I still in bad mood at that moment. We went to Borneo Baruk Club behind the hotel where we had our dinner. The club is not crowded maybe it’s still early and abit boring in that club, maybe no leng jai…. LOL!!

I'M SO PISSED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

My maid is leaving this weekend and she have to pack her stuff
I had informed her about her departure date and let her call her parent to pick her up at the airport
Brought her to Carrefour to buy clothes for her parents, grandparents, brothers and sister in law, she had her one long list what she need to buy and she spend around RM500plus on clothing. Of course not paid by me, it’s her owned income.
She tell me she want to buy mobile phone, so I will bring her to shopping on Saturday for her last round of shopping
Not bad hor… this type of employer and I know I’m not supposed to inform her earlier but kesian her la……
So far I really don’t have any major problems with her and she did not cause anything problem to us too
All complaints about her mainly from your MOTHER IN LAW
SHE is the one who mentioned to hubby and me that she do not need maid anymore. Reason being is maid giving her so much of problems
When I decided to let her go back to Indonesia, my MOTHER IN LAW keep asking me whether I really do not need a maid
Every other days sure SHE ask me about whether I will be getting back the old maid
My BROTHER IN LAW told my mom that I do not need a maid but my MOTHER IN LAW needs it as she getting old now and can’t do so much of house work
Out of sudden my SISTER IN LAW called my hubby asking why I don’t want to keep the maid coz she still want to work with me (my maid is telling my SIL this today)
I was so mad when hubby told me about this, why everyone is so concerned and pointing the fingers to me. And I had argument with hubby on the phone about this matters while I was still in the office
Why can’t they tell me directly if they need maid, for sure I will get one if MOTHER IN LAW really cannot cope.
For once, MOTHER IN LAW did tell my mom that she does not need a maid if this maid is leaving, but now why SHE said different thing now. WHY?????????
I told hubby about his MUM character and the way she talked, sure hubby said that I’m very sensitive. AM I SENSITIVE??? Maybe yes… maybe no… I don’t know
Today, once step into MOTHER IN LAW house; SHE started to tell me that my maid told her she still wants to work with us. So, I told MOTHER IN LAW that will discuss this once I finish eating
Called maid, MOTHER IN LAW and hubby sitting together and talk about this matter, I did not go into very details as I just want to no the answer whether my maid still want to work with us. She said yes. So I asked her why she did not telling me earlier that she still want to work and keep on telling my MOTHER IN LAW, FATHER IN LAW, BROTHER IN LAW and SISTER IN LAW, are they paying your salary? No right, then what the heck you go and tell them.
I remember that I did ask her before whether she still want to continue working with me, and she said NO
So, did she brainwashed by someone?? Of coz the person is not me
I’m very confused, mad, pissed off with all these.
The end of the story here is I WON’T GET BACK THE EXISTING MAID, IF THEY INSIST THEY WANT, TAKE IT, I DON’T CARE, NOT MY MONEY, IF THEY WANT TO GET THE NEW MAID, GO AHEAD, DON’T ASK ME. SINCE I’M ALWAYS THE LAST ONE TO KNOW IF THEY CAN’T MAKE DECISION. F*** OFF!!!

2008-05-04T00:26:00.000+08:00

I’m so full now!!! Just came back from Mid Valley where I had dinner at Tony Roma’s with my buddies. Did not bring my kiddos along, left it with my mum so I can have a peaceful dinner without any yelling and pulling my hair. LOL!!! Oh ya… thanks for the dinner ya, buddies!!!

I’m going to turn 32 soon…… ya soon…… one more day, I’m turning 32, I just can’t wait!!! Hehehe…..

So, don’t know what hubby will get me for my birthday. He is a bit “kayu”… so I don’t think he will surprise me with anything, unless I tell him what I want. What he normally does is, just bring me out for dinner.

A Hot Holiday @ Home

2008-05-01T18:14:00.010+08:00

Today did not go anywhere; just stay at home the whole day. Wake up around 9.30am, prepared breakfast, and then my two kiddos wanna go swimming. So we happily changed their swimming attire and went do to the pool and found that the children pool was temporary closed and the big pool was so dirty.

Both of them upset so I changed the plan from swimming to cycling and they went to play at the playground while waiting for the maid to bring down the bicycle. And they happily play around.

After playing with bicycle then they continue with sand art, which I bought from Carrefour last night. Oh ya…. I also bought durian from Carrefour after seeing Miche’s kiddos had the durian. But the flesh was not good. Will go hunt it again later.

True Color

2008-04-18T14:08:00.000+08:00

As she knows that she is leaving soon in July but in actual fact is in May, she start to show her true face / f***king face at my in-laws. My turn not yet, I think soon. She also telling my MIL lots of story which I just got to know it yesterday when my MIL told me.

First Incident
Yesterday, she yelled at my FIL coz my FIL said she do things now got head no tail (yau tau mou mei) and said this to my FIL, “Complain la… complain la… complain pada mem, saya tak takut sekarang, saya kerja sampai bulan tujuh saja.”

Second Incident
Yesterday, my MIL did not buy breakfast for her coz there is breads where my in-law bought from Pasar Malam, so MIL ask her to eat bread only and later in the afternoon only will cook. Then she shows her face at MIL and do not want to take the bread and wait till afternoon that MIL fried rice only she eat.

She asked my MIL to buy her gold bracelet coz she have been working so hard with MIL. Then asked my SIL to give her clothes that my SIL can’t wear. She even wants to ask from my sister to give her all the baby clothes that my nephew can’t wear anymore. She tells in-law that she has lots and lots of thing she wants to buy before leaving here.

I’m really shock when I heard this thru MIL yesterday. I have not questioned her about all these and I pretend I don’t know and see what is her next step. At first I was thinking to inform her earlier so she can prepare, then buy her new luggage bag, buy her some new clothes for her to bring back and give extra bonus.

Now, I will slash all these, if I want to be crueler, just ask her to bring back what she brought here. That it!!!

No more phone calls

2008-04-17T12:27:00.001+08:00

Since Monday I did not received any calls from Sebastian classmate. Last week alone, they call each other several times a day and I really don’t know what is the chatting. So, I told Sebastian not to call so frequently as you see each other everyday in school except for weekend unless you have something urgent to tell her so does she.

Last night, I asked Sebastian did he call his friend? Or did your friend call you? He said no, and I asked why? He said that I say cannot call many times so he did not make any call. Not that I do not want them to chat on the phone but not as five or six times a day, so I try to explain to him. He agreed with me and he told his classmate too not to call so frequent.

Am I too mean? Do you allow your kids to make call and chat few times a day

Sebastian’s classmate……….. and it’s a GIRL o.O

When I pick up the called I thought who’s kid playing with the mobile phone, as at that time the line is not clear, then she called second time. She said she want to speak to Sebastian and I silence for a second, then I told her that Sebastian is at home and I’m working so I can’t pass your call to him. Then she asked me to get Sebastian to return her call. o.O

Then I called home and asked Sebastian, he told me is his classmate and he gave my no. to her as she requested it. O.O

Later, I called home again and wanted to remind Sebastian to return her call but he slept already. So, I told MIL about it and to my surprise again, Sebastian already called her. He passed a piece of paper with the phone no. written on it to MIL and asked MIL to call his girlfriend and they chat for a while. O.O

Goshhhhh!!! He is only 5 years old and already had his classmate cum girlfriend called.

My maid is leaving soon............

2008-04-09T16:45:00.001+08:00

My maid is leaving soon, her last working day is May 18, but I have yet to inform her and book her air ticket. She doesn’t know that she is leaving us early as she thought her last working day is in July. Not that I want to sent her off earlier as her passport expired in June so her last working day have to be one month before her expiry date of her passport. This is my first maid and she has been working with us for three years, she is very young age 20 only, so you can imagine that when she was first here, she only aged 17. So far, I don’t have any major problem with her, all I want from her is to keep my house clean, do all the housework without me asking her to do so and follow my timetable that I given her when she first stepped into my house. Other then that I just close one eye if the matter is a minor one.

So, will I cope without maid around? I really don’t know.

Last time without maid I still managed to take care of Sebastian and housework but now, after three years of relaxing and honeymoon years without doing anything at home, I really don’t know I still can cope with housework and kids. Now to get new maid is really expensive it cost around RM7k++ where I only spend RM5k+ three years ago. Everything raises even the maid salary, now paying at RM500 – RM550 per month. (Pssstt…. I did not raise my maid salary from day one she work with me, the reason I gave her is she did her job on satisfactory level only and does not exceeds expectations level.)

At the moment, I won’t get any new maid but will get the temporary maid to clean our house once/twice a week until if I really cannot cope then only I will get in permanent maid. I hope that I can do all the housework by myself and at the same time take care of Sebastian and Sidney. *cross finger*
