Feeling Guilty

For the past 2 weeks, I have been 'addicted' to this drama series -" Women of Times". If you do subscribe Astro at your home, you should know. It is aired at 7pm, AEC channel from Mon-Fri.

Actually, I do have this bad habit of addicted to drama series, previously when I'm still single, my hubby(boyfriend at that time) always rent whole set of videos and let me keep watching it straight after back from work till early morning....Maybe, Jona LOVE to watch tv, partly because of me too....while I heavily pregnant Jona, I got small tv in my bedroom, so, hubby pity that I'm so immobile, purchase lots of DVD/VCD and let me watch every night before doze off....

Once Jona born, I automatic 'stop' this habit liao, maybe due to motherhood gua....and, when I moved to new house, I informed firmly to Dadi that no tv in my bedroom, so, when I preggie Isaac Noel, less watching tv, end up...Isaac Noel till now, just dislike watch tv rather he prefer outdoor activities (believe or not: Jona can watch tv inside the house, while Isaac just so happily playing outside in my car porch??)

Back to my guilt: suddenly, yesterday I just realise that I have been 'ignored' my son asking for momi attention once I back from work....the feeling is so bad...these past week, I have been ignored of Jona school progress, homework, request playmate and Isaac request to go playground, etc.....and these past few weeks, I realise Jona & Isaac being so unhappy, either keep crying, fighting, screaming, etc.....

So, yesterday, I told myself: Enough is ENOUGH!! My sons is my priority...I will sacrifice all my interests and time only devoted to my sons to see them grow up happily. And, yesterday evening, it is back to old momi liao - bring them to playground, play as they like, back home, drink water, play toys, eat dinner, sleep.....
(Isaac is the happiest person cause yesterday nite, when I taking my dinner, usually, my mom will bring Isaac out for walk walk. Yesterday, he just don't want, and when force, he just request to be pao pao rather than walk)

I told Dadi about my new schedule: After boy boy sleep, I will tidying the house, etc and wait to watch the drama repeating again at 11.30pm. He so pity me, he said, he will try to see whether he will be able to buy this drama series in VCD/DVD wor...so, I can watch it anytimes I like...he,he..can you believe it? I don't!!

Praise, Encouragement word...

Till today, I still remember the encouragement word that my youngest sister - Caroline sent to me when I'm in the labour ward. It really touch my heart with her sincerity...

Before I delivery Jona, she sent below SMS to me:

"The power of GOD within YOU is greater than the pressures around you. Expect GOD's blessings!'

She just know that I need those word before I deliver, cause of my past experience. I really lost confident, scared, nervous, panic, all those bad feeling just poping in my mind....and these word till today, still fresh in my mind when I faced any difficulties...

I guess same goes around for everyone. Everyone need encouragement, praise, comfort, etc from time to time in their life...just like my 2 kids. Both just love momi praise so much...The more I praise them, the more they showing their talent, good behaviour or skill to me...

Like Jona (yesterday night), when I praise him sing very good, he will automatic finish singing 'Twinkle Twinkle little star' without any error or pronounce it wrongly...All correct!!

Once upon a time,...

Once upon a time, there are 2 warriors in Puchong. One is called Jona and another one is called Isaac. Jona is a bit 'devil' heart warrior while Isaac is more 'soft' heart warrior....Both warrior went to do some 'hunting' together one night.......

1.While Jona arrange his little 'zoo' (game), inside the zoo, there are 2 warrior - Jona & Isaac. Both visit zoo - got tiger, giraffe, elephant and monkey.








2. Isaac is busy playing his own toy car + Jumbo - elephant + 'No Head' people (cause Jona took almost everything)




While everyone thought the world is so peaceful, since both playing happily by themselves, and momi happily watch drama without been disturbed...

4. And, who know, out of sudden, the weather changed. Jona, the devil warrior came to 'attack' Isaac, wanting to snatch his toys. Reason given: ' Share, share mah'...(cause I always told Jona, must share playing the toys with Isaac)







5. And, this 'soft heart' warrior try to attack back!! By, trying to snatch Jona toys too...












6. Too bad, he has got not enough strength to fight Jona, and end up, being a loser - crying asking for momi to help...






7. And, this winning warrior will smile all the way showing off what he got!









8. And, this 'moon-shape' face feel so upset and has to be comfort by his momi...











The end of the story: Momi didn't manage to finish watching the drama series, and this time, the winner of this game is Jona!!

That's what happen among this 2 brothers...sometimes, there is 'Love in the air'....and most of the time, there is 'fighting warrior' in my house....

Not enough sleep

It has been almost 2 weeks plus liao since Isaac didn't wake up and ask for his milk milk in the midnite, and you know what.....Daddy miss the most of this moment - cause he want to see Isaac funny action in the midnite when ask milk milk and also he feel heartache when Isaac didn't drink milk milk at night anymore - meaning less chubby liao....(recently, he just bought 6 cans of Isaac milk)!!

For zombie mommy, of course, I really happy to see Isaac outgrow of it(he is only 20mths). Meaning, less disturbing at nite and can sleep more peacefully...

Why mommy happy:-

1. If Isaac want milk milk at nite, even though daddy is the one wake up and make the milk, Isaac still want mommy hold the milk bottle and pass to him (even tho he didn't open his eyes ler??)
2. And, he want mommy accept the milk bottle that he finishes after few minutes later. Funny or not?

And, I thought I can finally has good sleep since lil Isaac is not asking for his milk milk. Who know...Jona appear again!!

Around, 6 or 6 something(sometime around 5.30am), Jona will wake up and immediately 'rush' into his parent room and start asking mommy to wake up.....aiyoohhh....funny part, he didn't even bother to disturb his daddy or Isaac, but, only disturb his mommy. Why ar??

You said lar, can get enough sleep or not.... :(

Wonder when only I will be able to sleep peaceful..ha,ha...I think the answer will be easy...till one day, when GOD ask me to go HOME.....

Reasons:

1. When my boys still young, of course, I have to wake up, make milk, or etc....or they wake up early, I also have to wake up early to entertain them...
2. When they enter primary or secondary school, I have to wake up early to prepare their breakfast, etc...
3. When they enter Uni, and start working, having own family, etc....by that time, I will sleep less and automatic will wake up early (like most of old people now)....because I don't need that much sleep anymore....

He,he..so you said ler??

Ouch...it's painful

Sometimes, I just don't know how to punish Jona anymore..Since baby till today, he only has 1 BAD habit - like to pinch people...only pinch his family member.

The victim is of course no other than his lil brother - Isaac. Pity Isaac, always has scar here and there and esp on his cuttie face some more(and nanny always complain to me saying cannot let Jona pinch Isaac on face anymore - otherwise, next time no handsome liao). But, really got any remedy to stop him from doing so?

See, almost everyday Isaac will be pinched by his Kor Kor - for whatever reason: snatching toys from Isaac, or sometimes, Isaac purposely disturbed Jona(kena pinch), or Isaac block Jona view (also kena pinch and push), etc....



The red blood scar is yesterday pinch effect, and other which has changed colour into browish is either recently or past....

Mine even worst (sorry, forgot take picture lor), mine kena pinch till bruise + got a bit blood blood ler....

I always pray to GOD that one day Jona will come out from this BAD habit - pinch...

You see I Good, I see You Good...

This morning, I have a short conversation with DH, about his needing to travel again, etc....and so sudden, I just realise that each one of us - do sometimes see/'envy' other people job/career/whatever....Just like old phrase goes:' Every family has their own problem'.
'If you wear my shoe for a day, you will know the actual situation, just like when I wear your shoe for a day' (sometimes, we see other people life so good, etc, and other people also see our life so good, etc)

E.g: DH complain to me again that he need to travel again to North to deliver some goods to client (the good worth around few hundred thousands Ringgit) in a day trip - and it is really tiring driving all the way with partners. For me, I think it is more fun and exciting cause I just could imagine when we had our family trip...all the way, in the car, is full of laughing from 2 brats, fighting among them, stopping over for quick lunch, zzz etc....Little did I know that when you did the repeating jobs/tasks for so many times, it become no fun and excitment....

Just like my job: request me to travel so frequent, and I just dislike of travelling again by plane. Even when I travel with family. As long as it involve aeroplane, I get phobia of it. Whereas my DH just can't wait for me to ask him to join me for my business trip again from time to time....

Get what I mean? That's life..It is all depend on how you look at it and adjust to it...

Potential to be Designer??

Yesterday when I went back home, suddenly Jona told me that he want to do 'Happy Mother Day' - pointing to the colour and has the brush on his hand.

And, I prepare a piece of paper for him together with colour, and, there he sit and do his 'Happy Mother Day' card lor.....of course, Isaac is happy too, cause he can play with his brush + colour + paper (he still has short attention: after few strokes, he finish liao and show to everyone)..."see, ta daa..."

After finish his drawing of heart shape inside a box, and with little bit help from daddy, he manage to draw so nicely and out of sudden, he search high and low for the magnet and stick to the fridge....



See, the result: All these is done by Jona without any help from us!! I really impressed with his creativeness and it is just a beginner for him(dont know where he got the idea of using the magnetic and also hang a bag beside his card)...
p/s: maybe inside the bag got Mother Gift... he,he.

Parent Day (16th June 2007)

This morning, I feel really upset and angry when my hubby informed me about this....

When he sent Jona to school this morning, immediately Mr.Lee (the headmaster) apologise to my hubby several times - saying that it is one of his teacher mistake of forgot to inform us that last Saturday - 16th June, is a Parent Day (and we are invited to Jona school for it). He even told us that all the students arrived with their parent except Jona!! That $%^^@$#$ teacher, do you believe, all the student message book got the message except Jona!!

I just couldn't believe this type of thing could happen with only 18 students in the school (6 students in each year - Year 4, 5 and 6), but, of course, human do make mistake...but, when I just got to hear this news from my hubby, I really got into anger and if I was the one who received this message from Jona school, sure I will burst into anger and scold the headmaster. Luckily, he pass the message to my hubby instead of me....

And, he keep apologise non stop and keep insist my hubby spend extra times for several days - so, he could brief my hubby about the parent day, school, etc...that we missed out!! He want my hubby sent Jona to school earlier for coming days and spend few minutes with him....(good as well, so hubby could involve in Jona school activities rather than always give excuse). I think maybe it is GOD will as well that we missed those Parent Day, so, GOD give hubby another chance to mix with Jona school teacher/headmaster and involve in Jona school activities....

When I think of it this way, I feel much better and happy about it. Rather than curse the innocent teacher about her mistake. I do think she also do feel bad about it...and, maybe, with this, she will treat Jona a bit nicer??

Shopping CARNIVAL

Even before Govt announce 'Sales Carnival', I have already spend few hundreds ringgit on clothes(my clothes only)!! It mean I have already start my own 'shopping carnival'....I just feel shopping before sales start is much more relax and enjoyable...

He,he...last week, Tuesday, purposely apply a day off - reason: bring my mom for medical check-up as well as shopping for half day without kids!! Isaac - as usual, with nanny; and Jona - paid RM20 extra so, he could stay a day at his daycare....he,he (of course, daddy feel suspicious and not happy that Jona is not following me go kai kai)

Morning - we went to medical check-up, then, proceed to annual pap smear test...and then, shopping at 1Utama.

And, this is what I have bought for myself & mom & aunty Carol:

2 working blouse and 1 t-shirt (left)
& 2 sweaters (for my travelling purpose - since I frequent travel during winter season)


All - 50% discount (the quality is good too)

And, this is what my mom has bought for herself (t-shirt) & white pendant (cross shape)






Aunty Carol bought herself few working blouses and sweater too...

At the end of the day, 3 of us really do enjoy the shopping so much, and we wish we could spend our times again like this in coming future - so fun and enjoy and relax (of course, wishing got money to spend lor ;) )

And, do realise that this sales carnival: 6th June - 2nd Sept, quite a lot of shops didn't offer any discount.....

Anyway, will need to shop for few items again: clothes, pant, casual shoe and handbag(all for myself) before I called it:'THE END'....hooray (will do a quick shopping with aunty Flora + 3 toddlers + grandma this weekend)...fhuiyooo...won't know what is the outcome.....

Holiday Activities (Pt 2)

And, last week (before school reopen again), daddy again promise to bring Jona to Genting (reason: Jona look so boring at home).....of course, mommy and Isaac has no objection at all....
Look at me...what's that, yi yi?
All I could said, Isaac and my youngest sis, Carol is the happiest person....Since both Jona & Isaac is still so young, we decide we just play all the games indoor (outdoor maybe, when they grow older a bit). We purchase 1 senior ticket (RM 12 only), 1 adult ticket (RM 26) and 1 child (RM24!!!)..and Isaac is below 2 yrs old - free! Mommy cannot take any ride that need turning/rotating and daddy too lazy to handle both kids, end up, we pass this task to grandma and aunty Carol.... only slow motion and steady games...
See, all the photos is only grandma, Aunty Carol, Isaac and Jona....daddy as the photographer and mommy just eat, eat, eat lor...while waiting...

Pay per ride (Isaac favorite)

You see, it is quite a waste that we purchase one day ticket and we are a bit regret to purchase ticket for Jona - indoor game...cause he just insist NO!!! No matter how we persuade him to have a try..instead, Isaac is the one who insist that he want to ride this and that...as you see, all the game that we try is the type: slow motion....like cho cho train(Jona love this so much that he rides twice: once as passenger, second time as the conductor - ring the bell), Reindeer, Boat....Isaac take Merry-Go-Round twice!!

Show 'ker lian' face when asked him to try the ride

After cho cho train, we had our Dim-Sum lunch at Ah Yat abalone...then, thought of proceeding playing again several indoor games....who know, half way waiting for Isaac and grandma turn to play merry-go-round again, Isaac doze off....:)

And, later follow by Jona....
And, mommy take this opportunity to go shopping for a while, and daddy sneak into casino....both of them must be so tired and by 4pm, they are still sound asleep and mommy and grandma still busy shopping in Padini store, when out of sudden, daddy called, said, 'Let's go home'...aiyooohh...so fast huh...

So, once get into the car, both nattie & cuttie awake...aiyah...

Anyway, the trip to Genting is really fun & enjoyable.

Holiday Activities (Pt.1)


Holiday started, and out of sudden, every day, Jona nagged his daddy saying he want to go to zoo, and forced me buy Barney - Let's go to the Zoo CD....everyday, he keep watch the CD and took the same camera as BJ (pretending he going to zoo and took picture of the animals)...till daddy agree going to zoo on first weekend of school holiday...hooray...

Bad news: Last minute, my sis wanted me to babysit her son, Gaby - 1 yrs old while she and hubby went for holiday with group of friends at fruit orchard in Kuantan!! Since we already promise Jona going to zoo and doesn't want to dissapointed him, it mean we have to bring Gaby as well...imagine the ratio 3 adults:3kids(4yrs old:20mths:12mths).....

We arrived around 10am, watching elephant show, walk around(esp.Jona pointing to the map, asking daddy to bring him see this animals, that animals,etc....), while me babysit Gaby...and he sleep half way when we walking around Savannah area.....and little Isaac just keep pointing and asking question: Where? Where? meaning, where is the animal that Kor Kor said....(as you know, most of the animals esp tiger, leopard or lion is either sleeping or hidding far far away, and imagine, Isaac sitting in stroller, of course will be keep asking question: WHERE??)

Around 12.30pm, most of us, is exhausted and tired...we took some snack at the fast food restoran, while Isaac busy playing with the toy machine(putting RM0.50 per ride), Gaby is fast asleep in stroller while Jona just sit and eat his nuggets.....

Conclusion: Jona is really enjoying the zoo visit (but just doesn't seem to enjoy taking photo). Isaac, is enjoy walking and looking around curiously - being naughty...But, it seem Gaby is still too young to enjoy zoo visiting, I could said. Overall, it is really fun, tired and exhausted handling 3 kids. None of us, could take a rest while rotation handling the kids cause each one is assigned to 1 kid....he,he,..I really respect or salute those family who manage to handle 4 -5 kids with only daddy and mommy....

(that's all the photo that I able to snap....cause really no opportunity + my hands is always occupy doing something. I think we will visit the zoo again when Isaac is a bit older, but, definitely no no no of bringing baby around next time)

Brotherly 'LOVE'

Jona really grown up and acting more like big brother to lil Isaac...

Recently, when we plan a trip to Genting Highland, automatic, Jona volunteer helping Isaac wear his 'second-hand shoe' - pass down from Jona....


'Wait ar, Jona wear for you'

The scenario is so sweet and adorable - seeing big brother helping little brother to wear his shoe..and inside the car, when Isaac accidentally open his shoe, and wanted to wear it back....he just automatic called his kor kor to help him to wear back his shoe!! (Kid so funny, always remember the first time who help them..and their thinking is pure innocent)

The shoe still look really new. Bought by daddy for Jona 1st birthday, and who know, Jona didn't wear it (cause he only start walk when he is 16 mths old)...and we totally forgot about it. So, by the time, Jona can wear it, it is a bit too tight and only wear several occasions..

Simple Conversation with Jona

Yesterday night, on the way to have dinner, Jona request me to play with him - Go Getter puzzle game...

Mommy: Jona, mommy cannot read your puzzle book or play with you while the car is moved
Jona: ?? Ok...(keep the puzzle box aside while still holding the manual book).
Jona: Mommy, come play with Jona.
Mommy: Mommy cannot play now. Otherwise, mommy will throw out (showing him, ueekkk, ueekkk sound)
Jona: No worry, mommy..Mommy ueek, ueekk, Jona will pat pat mommy back (while talking, he show me how he will pat pat my back)...

So nice....my boy really grown up liao..

This morning, 1st day back to school. While grandma & daddy busy searching high and low for Jona colouring pencil box

Jona: Daddy, it is ok. No worry
Daddy: Huh??
Jona: No need find. At school, Jona can share colour pencil with Teacher Kwan. She got small small one.
Daddy: Huh?? ...he,he..ok, ok...

(And, after sending Jona to school, immediately Daddy called mommy....telling from A-Z, how smart his son wor....so proud, ..blah,blah...said I sure will feel proud cause Jona so smart)....

Never get bored...

Last week, Jona fall down again....among 2 siblings, Jona always get injured or fall down. I just don't know why....

And, as usual, myself and my mum always will 'rotating' eating dinner...after taking her dinner, she will bring Isaac for 'kai kai' while I quickly take a shower, having my dinner (cause my lil boy boy always want his mommy!!)

So, after dinner, Jona will asked me to bring him out to look for grandma + Isaac....and that night, he really so mischievous and naughty....just never listen to me while I shouting "Jona, be careful!!"...

And, out of sudden, he just 'pettepop'....and showing his sour face and walk like cripple man...He has just fall on the floor (to be exact on the roadside)....

And, keep saying painful, painful..ooouch..dont touch, blah,blah...when I want to wash his wound with alchohol - he will scream said "no, no, no, go away...so painful" while crying a little bit niah...



Isaac being naughty lil boy too - will purposely go and try to touch the wound and Jona will said gently..."no, no..it's painful"..."don't touch, ok?" :)

On one side, the wound cut quite deep, and the blood keep 'rushing' out....



So, for temporary, to stop the blood, I paste cartoon plaster which Jona love it so much and insist another side also need plaster, otherwise, painful lor....at the end, Isaac cry so pity also want the plaster (which is out of stock liao!!)

Lazy Mommy got Reward!

Yeah, it's really true - I'm the lazy mommy esp when it come to buying baby milk formula, teat, drinking bottle, etc (consumable stuff)..esp. milk formula.

Why? Cause I really hate when babysitter or my mom told me that the milk formula only left half can, etc...and it is during weekdays. Another reason: During weekdays, I only like to drive to work and back home directly after fetch my lil darling - Isaac Noel...really hate if I have to drop somewhere else just purposely to buy some thing.

That's why my mom or hubby said, I can open my own grocery shop (alamak...forgot snap photo to show you the proof). Currently, in my kitchen cabinet, got 7 tins of Progress GOLD milk for Isaac Noel and 1 tin + 1 pack of EnfaGrow A+ for Jonathan(cause soon he will upgrade to EnfaKid, so, haven't keep new stock yet)!

I usually love to purchase at least half dozen or 1 dozen, if there is any promotion for these milk...cheap and better keep stock lor, rite??

Yesterday, this lazy mommy got Reward for being lazy(my colleague so rajin purchase milk - finished 1 tin, buy another one). You know, currently, Cold Storage and Wyeth has promotion for Wyeth milk formula(box) at Ikano main foyer...so, lazy mommy thought, got promotion, sure the price is cheaper + can get some freebie...So, I went with my sis (Gabriel - who just turn 1 recently).

Saw the price for the new launch milk box at Cold Storage (not sure whether it is cheap or not)..took out h/phone - calculator, tap, tap, tap...for 15 mins, discussion...finally just purchase 2 boxes each...reached counter, have to argue a bit with cashier (will post in my next post) and paid up.

During promotion, if you purchase 2 tins/2 boxes entitled for a spin....so, just simply spin for fun....and got "SURPRISE".

Sale person: Ok, You can chose any gift from the table.
Me: Are you sure?
Sale person: Yes, yes...
Me: mmm..ok, then, I go for Toys Hamper lor...
Sale person: Ok, Ok, you take lar....by the way, Toys Hamper is the most expensive one among these gifts (value RM 100)...
Me: ha,ha..you sure or not?
(best part is, my sis, who did the spin after me also got SURPRISE, and she also took another TOYS Hamper - you said both of us lucky or not??)

see, Toys Hamper (sorry, don't know why the photo 'senget' one side)

On the way back, after fetch Isaac, he so happily grab the hamper, and keep talking (baby talk)...don't know what...so happy...sure he said, wow..my lazy mommy got so lucky, because of Isaac Noel like to drink milk milk lor...

he,he...yeah, my hamper, my hamper....


Reached home, Jonathan immediately grab the hamper and open up....WOW...not bad, lots of toy/Wyeth premium (even though most of the toys is Wyeth previous premium gift).....don't bother lor..as long as it is free.....the best one is 'Binocular'...really canggih ler....
