Yea, my little shy girl has turned 2 on 11th of July. She is mindful of nice dress she was wearing and enjoyed the attention given to her, she knew it was her special day. A day filled with joy and happiness. A lovely simple cake specially designed for her. Lovely grand-parents and family members celebrating with her on her special day makes it a memorable one. She is a cheerful but shy girl. Very shy indeed. She was even shy to see me when I returned from a working trip. She would run away when she sees a “kor kor” (lil boy) that she likes on the TV. Gosh!
Look like lil bride.
Time flies, she is such big girl now. Lil boy has been admitted to Pui Chai 2 and officially upgrade to primary next year.
I have a friend I used to write when I was in secondary school; we kind of met in a conference back in Johor. I was a shy girl then and don’t really know how to express my feelings but we remain friends via snail mail. We still chat once in a while and his family would visits when they were in town. He would write to me when he feels down.I feel a little hurt that this friend of mine is avoiding me, he doesn’t talk to me anymore, you could really tell that when someone is not interested in talking to you anymore from words that they write. Well, what I am saying is, I don’t even know what I have done to offend this friend. Everyone comes from a different background, when a person is shy away from ordering someone to do something, it doesn’t mean they are not worth of being a friend. I like to think I am good in a lot of other ways. As far as I know, I am still friends and forever willing to share and support. Wishing them all well and just wanted to pen down my feelings.
I am sure most of us asked this questions when the school holidays is near. We didn’t have much plans except a spontaneous Saturday ended up in Bird Park again. Hubby asked, why you love Bird Park so much? … actually don’t you think it’s very nice? Up close and personal, you could see birds everywhere and it’s “The World’s largest Free Flight Aviary”. You could see all kinds of birds, it has 3,000 birds and 200 species from all over the world and it’s cheap for a family outing.
We are frequent bird park visitors but this is first time for Adel. She was afraid when I brought her near to small birdy wondering around the floor. She uttered “scared” but enjoyed herself very much. She threw many tentrums in the middle of the Bird show; she wanted badly to get on to the swing at the playground nearby. I forgot to charge my camera, so not much shot taken.
On the other hand, we are sending the young boy for a circumcision. He had problems with some infection a while ago. School holiday is probably the best time for this simple surgery. Not sure how his reaction would be but I could predict that he is going to give us hard time.He is the kind that would demand to plaster his small tiny little scratch on his hand or leg. I can’t imagine what he would react after having to remove foreskin from the most sensitive part of his body. Ouch! Good luck darling! 哥哥加油! 加油!
Gosh! I have been real busy after my colleague has gone for maternity leave. I told her to better treat me makan when she comes back. And she said, “thank you, I will help you when you have your third child”. WHAT? I told her, “No Thank you and I don’t need your help”. NO WAY I am gonna have the 3rd one. Scary! My second one is still screaming her lungs out at age 2 here and she pula suggest to have the third one. No, no, no and NO! I am very contented with two that I have now. Many have told me that they regretted not having more when all kids have grown up. I think I prefer to still stick with two now. Let the regret comes later. Keke!
What about you?If you have thought to stop having kids, what do you do to prevent yourself from getting pregnant? I have had friends taking contraceptive pills, some with a device on arms to prevent pregnancy, some use condoms, some did sterilisation. Any other better way? Was thinking of ICD (Intrauterine Contraceptive Device), heard it won’t intefere with hormone later. Got to start looking at it seriously.
Look at her watery eyes, has been crying very often lately when she don’t get her way. She is at this “terrible two” Phase. Poor girl just recovered from fever last few days.
Just got these earrings done for Ivan’s teachers to thank them during teacher’s day. Chicsecret is having mid-year sale now. Do spread the news and would appreciate if you would “Pong Chan” a bit. Thanks!
I woke up early on Sunday morning while everybody was still sleeping soundly; taking opportunity of the serene surrounding, I browse through some blogs and did a couple of bracelets. Later, I checked a few un-open envelopes. I was a little annoyed with one of the 2 credit card’s bill that I have, the charges were quite ridiculous considering I don’t owe much. Already not happy with their services, I cut the gold card into two with a pair of scissors. Crazy me right? Ha-ha! I decided to look for another bank that could offer something better.

I woke up with a heavy heart this morning. Ivan was hysterical last night; I have not seen him behaved like that before. He woke up quiet as usual getting ready to school. When we reached school, I asked his headmistress how is he doing in school and I was told he is a bit slow. He stared down at the floor; the sunlight makes the three dark- red scratches at the side of his cheek and nose bridge obvious. At that moment, a taste of lemon juice flows through my heart. I started thinking, is it me or is it the systems that make him behave that way? The headmistress told me that their study is getting tougher and tougher as they are preparing them for Chinese school.
“I thought he is improving?” I replied. “Yes, but compare to others, he is a bit slow.” Frankly, I felt down after hearing what she said at that moment because I think Ivan has done marvelous already in terms of his mandarin. But I must admit, he is not so good in BM and English, which needs a bit of hard work. I must really spend more time to be with him. He scratched himself on the face while saying “I will destroy myself” last night. He is whispering to me now, lost his voice from too much crying, kicking and throwing things. Guess I will too behave that way for having to work so hard with so little fun at age 5+. My husband used to tell me, “Fun and learn” (school’s name) only learn and there’s no fun at all.
Today, he came to me submitting this lovely box and told me. “Mommy, this is for you to put your watch.” Doesn’t it look lovely? But I only have so few watches, may be I should put my handmade jewelry in there instead.
