Wasting $$$ again....

You know, Singapore now is also in the midst of 'crazy sales', same as for Malaysia carnival sales.....But, the best part of Singapore is, the govt start this promotion: Every Last Friday of the month - the shop will open till midnight and got some crazy sales going on...

Just so coincidence, last Friday, while I still in S'pore, I got this chance - shopping!!! Since I'm in the area of Orchard Street - in front of Takashimaya....can't let go of it....

On the ground floor of Takashimaya, there is 'Craziest Toy sales' - really huge huge discount....and, me keep remembering Jona message of buying robot for him, end up purchase 3 toys. I really limited myself already - really so hard to stop 'sweeping' my credit card and stop my bad habit of shopping over limit :(

I could said it is cheap - spend only S$ 52 for aeroplane with remote control(forgot took pic), robot changing to 'dog' and 4 assemble cars... you said cheap or not?? Actually, I do want to buy more....but, dare not lor....not able to carry those toy is one reason, nagging from hubby + mom is another reason.

Indeed, once I step home, hubby and mom keep nagging non stop make me feel really guilty of buying toys again....

Hubby: See, the toys scattering around the house....really there is too many toys in our house...maybe, next trip, you should really stop buying liao....show his sour face some more...

Mom: When your brother still young, I never spend money on toys so much..He only got 1 set of LEGO to play and he is so happy...see Jona and Iz, never appreciate their toys cause they got too many of it....(true also lor)...

Ok, ok....I told myself...next trip: no more toys for my boys liao..... :(

Singapore again.....

Here I'm....writing from Singapore..another short trip to Singapore for Business trip...

This round, even though it is only for 3 days 2 night, I will be switching 2 hotels due to fully booked!! Imagine.....

Too bad, I might not able to fullfill Jona & Isaac wish again :(

Before I leave, Jona told me: "Momi, remember buy me a present, huh"...."Ah ma, momi take aeroplane go singapore"

And, night before, Jona keep asking me to buy 'Transformer' in Red and Blue colour....and Isaac too 'Momi, i wan buy mer, mer mer'....he,he...

Jigsaw Puzzle Mission

I'm really not sure whether this mission is possible or not to be completed.

Carol gave this jigsaw puzzle to me as christmas present, I think in 2001, if I'm not mistaken. I have kept it inside a box (in store room) till recently when I do some cleaning up, only I found it again(totally forgot about it at all).

Then, my hubby offered to frame it for me if I could finished it, and my mom also volunteer helping me out....

And, I set myself a time frame - said before Christmas this year, I should be able to frame this puzzle in my house (he,he...4 mths plus, shouldn't be a difficult task right?) I, myself not too sure.

To encourage me, my mum has done all the initial preparation: like separate it into different categories - so easy to place it later stage by stage. Thanks MOM!

Till today, I still haven't started yet ler....alamak...tomorrow need to go outstation again....what do you think huh?? :P

Happy 4th Birthday, Jonathan!!

HAPPY 4th BIRTHDAY, My dear boy: Jonathan!!

And, guess, what....his earlier wishes as you could see, being fullfilled except his birthday cake!!

Momi, herself eagerly wanted to try out something special about jellycake....but, at the end, Jona LOVE his birthday cake so much...he even keep saying thank you, momi, thank you, momi.... so, I guess instead of Dino cake, which turn out to be Aeroplane cake is not bad idea at all ....so cute the cake ler...everyone said it is really cute and nice (all kids love it)...

And, Dadi manage to buy his priority wish of getting a Dinosaur...Instead of grandma purchase remote control car, Aunty Carol volunteer purchase it for his 'God-son'. And, grandma end up purchase shoe for Jona upon Momi request (more valuable use).

Aunty Flora give 'trampoline' (sorry, forgot how it called liao)....where Jona & Isaac love it so much, and keep jump, jump, jump......it is for exercise tho....so, Jona & Isaac can become more taller and grandma or momi can have healthy body too ;P

Finally, not forgotten, Isaac Noel, give kor kor a sticker album + stickers book. Even though it is the cheapest pressie....never the less, it is Jona favourite pressie and he just love it so much....He just told us, Isaac pressie is his favourite and he bring it to sleep with him!!

This morning, it really touch & melt my heart. Jona came to my room, when I told Jona: "Happy Birthday, Jonathan!". Jona replies: Thank you, Momi. Thanks for the present you give. Thanks for giving Isaac......

p/s: we celebrate his birthday one day earlier....

Birthday Wishes....

This year, Jona already know what he want for his birthday present, even though still not good enough in asking....

Since end of June, Jona has been talking about birthday cake, present, present, etc....I guess he might know that his BIG day is coming soon - 23rd July 2003. On this day, he will be exactly 4 years old!! Wow, times really flies so fast......

By the way, "Happy Birthday, to Auntie Chinnee"...her birthday fall on same day as Jona....he,he...

Funny conversation:

Momi: Jona, what you want for birthday present?
Jona: mmmm...Dinosaur, A Big Dinosaur

Later few minutes,

Momi: Jona, what do you want for birthday present?
Jona: Dinosaur, A Big Dinosaur
Momi: What you want daddy buy for you?
Jona: A Big Dinosaur
Momi: What you want grandma buy for you?
Jona: A big Dinosaur
**slap my forehead**

Yesterday night when I asked him again....(after practising with him several night)

Momi: What you want?
Jona: Daddy, buy me Big Dinosaur, Grandma buy me Car and Battery. Momi buy me Dinosaur cake....Isaac, grandma buy car and battery is for Isaac(this one he added himself)....Wow, good boy!!

So, now, all of us has a mission to complete....to see whether Jona will get his wish come true or not....check on 23rd July...

Redemption

Yea, yea....just by so coincidence, the milk that both my boys drink, the milk company do allowed some form of redemption either you collect the spoon or the tin foils.

So, recently, I make some redemption for sponge book for Jona/Isaac, Fisher Price Story Book for Isaac and MPH Voucher for myself....

When the book arrived, Jona is the happiest person in our house (nowadays, he just love Postman so much!!). The sponge book indeed so nice and luckily both boys enjoy it so much. Who know, both willing to sharing - 3 for each persons.

As you could see, it used Disney character to bring the messages inside the book - Shapes, Colours, Animals, Opposites, 123 and My Feeling...

Inside, one page mention the word and another pages showing picture of it....how wonderful...

And, I got this book just by using 160 points if I'm not mistaken. Worth to redeem lor....and ,recently, when I went to their website, this sponge book status "Out of Stock"!!

Travel: Singapore...

I have been thinking, since I travel so frequent throughout the year, I might as well, jotted all the countries that I has been.....

Ok, here we go.....now I'm in Singapore for few days trip....

All I could said for this trip was: everything was fully booked!! Hotel, I just couldn't find one hotel in Orchard Road - guess few reasons: Sales in Singapore, some big conference being held - Epilesy and it is a school holiday in Indonesia (no wonder I see so many Indonesias shopping around)...

Geeeeee.....if I know, I won't come to Singapore this time....so not conveience at all.

By the way, this time, I really have no mood to shopping at all....either just too lazy or don't know what to shop since my 2 princes is no longer baby.....and Dadi warned me not to buy anymore toys for them....

So GERAM.....

I really pissed off today....imagine my office server down since last Saturday and until today it is not being fixed yet - meaning no access to our inbox, quotation, server, internet (thanks GOD, luckily, since yesterday the internet is working again), etc.....

Imagine, every day come to office, keep chit-chatting, access internet (till I'm also getting fed up already) and DO NOTHING!!

How this happen? Well, let me tell you....

Initally, we have 1 IT person, but, resign recently, end of last mth due to 'unhappy' with management decision wor....He bring one of our Ukraine colleague outing to Genting on weekend (when this colleague came here to do some setting). Of course, IT person submit his claim and being rejected by my management. Reason: it is not in our policy that you bring distributr/colleague outing on weekend, can claim company (which I think it is logic as well).

So, he couldn't take it, and immediately submit resignation letter. And, my HR colleague did request my boss to hire new person to handle IT stuff, but, this stupid boss just said no need. We got backup from HQ wor......and he didn't even bother to change our server login and password!!! (but pandai pandai change the office access password for entry to office!)

And, last week, Sat at 2.30am morning, someone know our login and password for server, has changed the password!! And, monday morning, came to office, all kelam kabut!! Email down, server down, internet down, can said everything DOWN. Cannot access at all to re-start server....

And, come Tues, thought, everything will be ok, but, who know still down except internet being ok....he,he...of course can access internet good thing, but, when access whole day, get boring also ler....

Today, even worst!!! Everything not ok at all, and internet getting slower.....

Aiyah...if keep on like this, I also don't know liao...maybe, I just need to apply leave and sleep at home lor.....all I could said, this stupid boss really no eyes see lor.......just because of his egoistic and no back-up at all, it create today havoc!!! And, don't know when everything will be back as usual....

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....

Gift content: Enercal milk formula, Wyeth Bag, Hand Towel, Activity book with sticker, Photo Frame, Soft Toys-Lex, Binocular, Another activity book with marker pen, 2 pencils 2 balloons, Lego, Wooden Toy(adjustable).

can't wait to grab my favourite toy liao...see two pairs of leg behind the gift :)

But hor....**scratching my head** meaning I have more toys to tidy up liao....aiyoohhh...

Conversation between Jona & Isaac

I really old liao....now, trying so hard to crack my brain to refresh back the conversation between my 2 boys....it is really interesting and funny when I heard both communicate:-

Scenario 1:

Mommy is busy watching Astro channel AEC (singapore drama about blind girl, etc...) and Isaac is don't know what reason crying most of the time (after back from nanny house)....

Jona and Isaac sitting in front of the DVD player

Jona: Zac, zac...don't cry, ok?
Isaac still crying while pointing to DVD player...
Jona: zac, zac, you want watch barney is it?
Jona: Mommy, Isaac wan to watch barney, can I open for him?

Mommy very shiok watching AEC, only left another 15 mins..

Mommy: Don't want....later ok?!

Jona: zac,zac, mommy want to watch tv now..zac, zac, later Kor Kor open barney for you ok? don't cry (while rubbing Isaac hair)

Scenario 2:

Both sitting on the floor

Isaac: chor chor, chor chor (keep repeating call his kor kor)
Jona: yes, zac zac...
Isaac pointing to his leg, showing the mosquito bite
Isaac: bite, bite (meaning mosquito bite)
Jona: ooo...never mind, Jona will ask mommy apply vick for you ok?
Isaac just nod his head..

Really melt my heart when I see both communicate so lovely - got brotherhood love...but, wait till you see both fighting.....nowadays, both just can play so peacefully giving mommy a break to watch my favourite tv or read quick newspaper...

Tag: The meaning of My Sons Name

Chanel tag me: ooooppps...I'm not good in doing Tag, but, this Tag seem to be so meaningful, I will try my best to do it..

Ok, start with the eldest son:

Since daddy has no comment or idea of what name to give, so, I have been honour to give 'English' name to my son and since Jonathan is the 1st grandson for my hubby side, his grandpa also have no idea of what the middle name is......and we just choose the simple and meaningful one...

I have few misscarriages before I concieved Jonathan, and I wanted so much for a baby at that time. Once I got pregnant again, immediately I thanks GOD for hearing my pray, and decide to give my baby name - something related to praise amazing GOD for hearing...and that's why Jonathan name pop out from my mind...

Jonathan - meaning 'GOD has given'

For Chinese name, since I'm a 'banana woman', and hubby too lazy to think, end up asked 'si fu' for advice(which it really upset me). And, hubby wanted the name to be in Cantonese pronounciation.

Wai - chinese pronounce wei for 'wei ta' (magnificient)
Hynn - chinese pronounce 'xuan' (to be delighted with oneself; name for the Yellow Emperor)

Jonathan Chee Wai Hynn

For youngest son:

When I know I will have second boy again, immediately I decide to give him special name (cause he seem to be a happy baby inside my womb for 9 mths). Isaac full name is given by myself without consult any 'si fu'....of course, with help from my family(esp.Caroline - my youngest sis) and approval from hubby.

Isaac - meaning 'laughter'

And, everyone just keep asking me, why Isaac has 2 English name and not Jonathan....the answer is simple:

1) When I'm expecting Isaac, everyone surround me, also plan to name their son Isaac (just coincidence they watch the HK popular drama - regarding the pilot story...one of the pilot is called Isaac), so, I wanted my boy name to be a bit different from other 'Isaac'.

2) Also, I realise Isaac name is too short compare to Jonathan...wanted both has almost same calculation in alphabet....

3) Plus since young, I do have a dream/hope that I could give birth to my baby on year end (Dec), but, none of them is born in that month, so, I just added Isaac second name as

Noel - meaning 'christmas' in Dec

which end up as Isaac Noel - baby, full of laughter with Christmas spirit...(which the combination is so special and nice meaning too)

And, for his chinese name, since he has gotta a nice English name, so, I just add the chinese name with meaning of praise to the Lord. In the end, actually Isaac full name, mean "baby, full of laughter and happy, in the christmas spirit, praise Lord everyday for everything..."

Soong - meaning 'praise the Lord' (I just added extra 'o' for 'Song')

Isaac Noel Chee Wai Soong

Ok, I'm not good in asking mommy to do Tag, but, I will try:-

Josephine- Jonathan & Isaac Noel

My favourite boy boy...

Isaac nowadays getting naughty + cute + adorable....everyone said he is 'mommy boy'. You know why? Cause whenever mommy goes, he will follow from behind...just can't live without his mommy lor - all I could said...

I never have this kind of problem with Jona at all...he is just so independent since baby...but, nowadays, he get jealous so easily....all because of Isaac Noel = sticker to his mommy too!!

While Jona is playing alone by himself....and mommy is resting at sofa, reading SMS, this little fella just jump next to me, and do some many pose...to attract his mommy attention lor....see, see

Lazy boy or over pampered??

I must write this down now, or I will be totally forgot about it....for us (myself, grandma and daddy), this is really funny...it came out from a 4 yrs old mouth....

Usually, every morning, daddy will send Jona to his school by car even though it is only few minutes walk (by car, it take only 4 mins - just one or two turning from our house)...but, due to daddy laziness, he insist on driving a car (always give 1001 reasons: too hot, so tired, etc.....)

Now, his boy, I guess inherited either his excuse or being over pampered by daddy or whole family - to be exact....

This morning, is an exceptional. Since daddy need to go outstation for few days (Thu-Sat), so, this morning, usually, the arrangement will be I will have to send Jona to school and took half day leave (morning) cause after sending Jona, I will have to send Isaac to nanny house. My working hour is 8 - 5 (unless I willing to start late and back home late - which I dont' want at all).

Few days back (me and daddy conversation):-

DH: Darling, Thu I need go outstation and be back on Sat only to rush to Gaby birthday.
Me: Huh?
DH: So, can you arrange aunty driver (the aunty that send Jona back home everyday - one way) to send Jona to school on Friday morning, 1 x only?
Me: Cannot lar...that aunty already said morning, cannot, cause it is her husband to send kid and her husband doesn't want to fetch any other kids at all.
DH: Then, how ar?
Me: I can send lor, if you want...
DH: Then, you will be late to work, cause after send Jona, you have to send Isaac too...
Me: Yalor...or, I can asked grandma to send Jona to school by walk? Grandma sure love of this idea - since she can have simple walk walk back home, exercise a bit mah...
DH: Don't wan lar...pity Jona, he will be tired...sure he dont' wan...
Me: Aiyah....you cannot pamper him too much lor..everything must use car one....let him be 'kampung boy' sometimes lar....
Blah...blah...blah...
DH: Ok lar....up to you lor...

Just now, my hubby called me:-

DH: Hello, you know what?
Me: Blur..blur...what?
DH: 'How come no car one?' ' Why ar?' 'I'm so tired'. 'Where is the car?' 'Sooooo tired'....and show moody face some more....
Me: Jona complain?
DH: Yalor...i call home just now....Jona keep complaining to grandma.....
Me: Aiyoooo....just simple walk also want to complain huh? You lar...pamper him too much...
DH: Some more hor, Jona arrived school, complain to teacher also ler
Me: Huh??!!
DH: He tell teacher 'I'm so tired'....'walk, walk'....so tired..... (smiling and laughing so loud).
Me: wow..like that also can ar....
DH: Yalor ......he tired lor..i told you already...
Me: Wei....I think hor....from next week onward, you should send Jona to school by WALK!!
DH: Me??
Me: Yalah....
DH: Yalor hor...good idea, so, I can exercise as well mah....
Me: Yalor...when weather good good lar...hot sun, dont' wan lar...pity Jona...

(he only said wan, never materialize....I know him too well liao)

See what I mean?? So young, also can complain so much liao....just one day walking ler, not too much.....imagine now at 4 yrs old, complain non stop, when big liao...sure finish lor....kah,kah...

Tag: 10 Things I Hate About My Hubby

Chin nee passed this Tag to me, and I think I shouldn't let her down anymore...she has been so nice of keep passing me Tag to do...will fullfill her wish this time.

Actually, it is not that difficult at all if I want to write things that I hate about my hubby, and just so coincidence, yesterday I had a MSN talk with one of the close mommies about our darling hubby.....but, guess everyone is not perfect at all include myself...so, to be fair to my DH, I will put it this way.

10 Things I/He Hate About Him/Myself:-

1. He is so quiet almost all the time even though we argue, he will just 'zip' his mouth which I rather he 'fired' back at me or start a heat conversation.
Me: He wish I will stop nagging him or kids..

2. He is too hygiene. He can use up to 5 - 10 pieces of Baby Wipes just to wipe our sons face or hand only...imagine, or he could use up to half box of tissue papers just to wipe some split of water on the floor, etc.

3. He like to 'stick' his eyes to his computer all the times..

4. He just love to delay all the task assigned to him - handling kids, fixing broken pipe, etc..

5. He didn't care of his own health at all...

6. He drive like F1 driver, never bother about me and kids at the back...only when he pull emergency brake, then, he will said 'sorry'....

And, only now I realise that I couldn't think of anything else that I hate about him....I should thanks to Chin nee for forward this Tag to me...Otherwise, I will be keep thinking that when I wrote about this Tag, I will have more than 10 things to write about my hubby..... :)

Little Rascal....Got U!!

Initially, I thought Jona is so naughty and hard to manage - cause he just love to climb here and there, and fall down so frequent until I just lost count how many.....never did I realise Isaac is even worst and on top of that, he even daring compare to his ko ko!!!

Manage to catch this little rascal climbing into the drawer and SIT inside and play with the stuff inside the drawer....it happen so fast when I was tidy my mom garden outside (just for 5 mins)...and ta ta...little Isaac inside the drawer....

He just love to climb and sit inside the drawer, which nowdays has become his habit - every time he did it, my mom or my sis will get 'heart attack'...they just worried that the drawer couldn't hold Isaac weight anymore.... :)

Birthday Celebration.....fun, fun, fun

Even though daddy birthday has past (last month - April), but, the joy of seeing my 2 princes sooo excited about it make me wonder: is my boys really grown up?

They seem to be really enjoy the whole scene: from seeing the cake -> putting candle on -> sing birthday song -> make a wish -> cutting the cake -> final part, eat the cake..

Seeing the cake:
Jona: Wowww,..it is MOUSE!!! Really pretty..
Isaac: moue, moue (meaning mouse)...keep pointing his finger on it and try to poke on it several times
(while mommy keep thinking it is a ladybird, kah,kah)..

And, throughout, putting candle, singing song, and cutting cake, Jona is the leader. He want to put candle and sing the whole song while we just clap and smiling. Isaac, for now, only as 'penonton' - guess soon he will mastermind all these skills.

Overall, both boys really do enjoy the birthday celebration (esp. the birthday cake) for the first time throughout these few years (attend lots of birthday celebration). Maybe, because both can participate in putting the candle for daddy, sing a birthday song and EAT the cake....

Isaac definitely is the 'cake-eater'...He just eat and eat non stop and do enjoy every much each pieces of it. And, won't let other hold for him....He so good in holding the spoon to scoop the cake....

Following day, both still want the cake as breakfast, tea time, etc....don't know because the cake is so cute and nice that tempting them, or the cake really taste nice???

p/s: the cake is so cute ler....and cheap too (bought it from Angel Cake House and cost only around RM42 for 1 kg)...
