Jona - Hair Cut

When Jona was a baby, he is fine with haircut using baby comb+shaver (so easy to use)...But, when he is one year old, bring him to saloon, want to bald his head for 1st time. Who know, hearing the shaving sound, Jona really scream out of his lung. From that time onward, no no no to saloon.....

Even worst, even using normal baby comb + shaver attached to it, also no no no to him...aiyoo...if I know from the beginning, I definitely sure won't bring him to that 'bad' experience in saloon.....so, left Jona with his hair like girlie (his daddy comment)...ha,ha...

Until recently, on his exact birthday, 23th July 2006, I suddenly ask daddy to bring Jona for hair cut at barber shop....My mum still enjoying her vacation to Europe (for a month!!), and I already act like crazy woman handling both princes + workload.....so, Jona hair really grown fast.....

Few days before hair cut, I already keep remind Jona go for 'cut','cut' 'cut'...and he repeat the same....So, on that day, we put Jona on the chair, and when the barber start to cut and trim, Jona almost want to cry...but, when I told him to see mirror in front of him to show him, it is ok and look at the barber, he just out of sudden, OK....

I really impressed. My Jonathan is really a BIG boy boy now...no more crying of hair cut....after hair cut, immediately he show his big thumb, meaning GOOD!! he,he...and all the way home, keep telling daddy, "Daddy, Daddy, cut cut cut"....non stop....he,he....

The hair look exactly like army hair lor....no more baby hair or soft soft hair....

So easy with barber, and cost me only RM5....he,he....definitely will bring him to barber and no need so tiring - 'pujuk' him to cut cut anymore....mission completed!!

'Mickey' mouse

On Sunday, 18th June 2006, DH called me (I was in Taipei):-

Part 1

DH: Hello darling, how was your day?....blah,blab...
Me: Fine.....blah,blah...
DH: You know, our house got a diaster!!
Me: What do you mean? ( Really panic!!)
DH: You guess lar?
Me: How to guess...Tell me quick lar...what's happening?
DH: Got mouse in our house!!
Me: Huh??!!! You mean 'mickey' mouse? Eeeeeeeiiiiiii
DH: Yes. Yes...ha,ha...
Me: How you know?
DH: On thur nite, I sleep downstair after watch football mah, then, suddenly, see something black black run under our TV cabinet...Got up, try to catch the mickey, but, he ran so fast into our downstair room...cannot catch lor....
Me: Eeiiiii....i really scared of mickey lar...do something lar...
DH: Me too...very geli lar....how ar?
Me: ??? You asking me? eeeeiii....

Finally, when I back home, DH bought the 'perangkap' and we manage to catch the mickey on Tuesday morning.....

Frankly speaking, this mickey is really cute and chubby - small size/not so black lar...but, too bad, he enter wrong house....so, because of mickey got bacterial, germ, etc...hubby force to kill the rodent to prevent bringing unhealthy germs to our house - got 2 princes ler....

Part 2 (the funniest part)

Hubby back from work, tell him, we manage to catch the mickey.....standing outside the wet kitchen (door close + see through the sliding window)

DH: mmm...I guess that nite, is not this mickey lor
Me: ?? Huh? you dont' scared me anymore you know...
DH: That nite, mickey is a bit bigger, not so small, and it is so black..this is so tiny and brown colour
Me: eeeiii..how lar...are you sure? Try to see closer lar and identify it whether it is the mickey you chase or not....(how stupid am I asking hubby to identify the mickey - like identify the pencuri/perompak....he,he...)
DH: Ok..ok...

(open the door) and go nearer..

DH: CONFIRM! CONFIRM! Is that mickey I see that nite...ha,ha
Me: Sure or not? You don't simply admit it...
DH: Confirm lar darling....just now didn't see so close mah...now, confirm lor...anyway, after kill this mickey..you try to put the 'perangkap' again..see whether got other mickey or not...okie?
Me: ???

Throughout the catching mickey experience, it is really funny, excited, panic, all mixed feeling among me and hubby.....and, one thing for sure, my dear hubby SCARE of Mickey ler !!! he,he....just realise it, he,he..he never ever tell me before....ha,ha..

My boys - like mummy OR daddy?

Everywhere I went, when I bring Jona around, all will immediately said, "this must be your son, huh?" "really look exactly like you ler.." while Jona just shy shy hiding behind me....got one time, went to photo shop to print Jona passport photo...collect the photo, the sales man said..."if one day your son lost during shopping, sure you no worry...he look exactly like you!! Everyone can recognise him!!" ....

Now, when I bring Isaac out for shopping, no one tell me he look like me anymore....he,he..of course lor, everyone said, "maybe, he look like daddy"...cause daddy not follow for shopping outing, can't compare lor....

One thing, that really stick to my mind is...when Jona born, my in-laws family, keep saying Jona resemble their family or look like my hubby even though it is reverse till the minute before Isaac born! They just don't want to admit Jona resemble me more...kiasu kot...first and the only(at that time) grandson to my in-law doesn't resemble their family.....he,he...

When Isaac arrive, immediately, they said Jona resemble me, and Isaac resemble their family genetic....wow...so mean one!!

Anyway, I just wondering, resemble who to who is not important...cause both is my cutie nutie little boy which can make mummy gone crazy and climb like spider on the wall.....and only, myself + DH know the best!!

Jona - little artiste

mmm..after see the painting, how much you would rate Master Jonathan Chee Wai Hynn for his art? Ha,ha...till now, I still have no time to clean the wall yet, my little boy really gettting uncontrol nowdays...He only will behave when mummy around...with daddy or grandma, he is KING of our house....

want to know how the art of the wall created? Here is the story:-

One evening, daddy just back to work, and feel a bit tired....play with Jonathan for a while before he out of sudden, ZZZzzzzzzz....grandma seeing daddy back, went to kitchen to prepare dinner as usual...cause Jona big boy mah...daddy can easily handle.....Jona, clever boy, once daddy fall sleep, he quickly, get a crayon and start 'put his idea' - drawing on the wall....with different colours!! Btw, mummy is out of country again, guess that time, Taiwan....and little Isaac Noel, overnight at nanny house....so, lucky ler, DH....

The most funny story :-

(Mummy always call home every day while travel - just want to make sure everything is safe and alrite)..

Me: Hello, darling. Everything alright at home?
DH: Ha,ha..yeah..don't worry...I can manage it.....
Me: How my little darling Jona? He ok?
DH: ha,ha..huh, ooohhh....(sound a bit panic)...he ok...just he think our house wall is a bit out of date and so boring..
Me: huh? what do you mean??
DH: he,he....he draw the wall with multiple colour...
Me: WHAT??!! Why you let him doing it?
DH: He so clever ler.....he do it when i fall sleep...how to stop it? by the time, I wake up...he just laugh and show me the drawing...how to scold him? he so cute ler....
Me: Aiyoooo.....(can't imagine how it look like)
DH: Never mind lar.....it look good, you know....add something extra to the wall mah...our son good ler in art.....he,he...relax, relax...kid mah...like that lor....next time, I won't fall asleep and watch him closely ya......
Me: (Talk only...always got surprise for me)

Jona always make our life full of laugh and fun since he born....

Boy oh Boy

Sometimes, I just wondering whether it is esp. true that "Boy is always NAUGHTY and PLAYFUL"??

Since birth, till now, Jona has lot lot of 'bump' either on his forehead(always), back side of the head, face, knee, hand...just mention any part of the body, you will see the scar (always one after another)...

Recently, when I back from China - business trip...just step my feet in the house and take a nice and relax sit on the sofa, where DH playing with his computer...grandma sewing blanket, Isaac sleep zzzzzz....Jona so active, jump here and there, and within second, he 'bang' his head at the corner of sofa, and this time, really serious...alamak!!

He immediately got a bump on his forehead, near to his left eyes ( I guess just an inch away to his eyes)....really got mummy + daddy + grandma a shock of life....and slowly the bump getting bigger and Jona keep crying pain - "aiyooo" "aiyoo" while try to rub the swollen site....and end up, got big 'bump' + blood scar.....

The next day, his left eyes become smaller (Jona already got smaller eyes), just like being hit by someone....luckily, really no 'kena' exactly to his eyes...otherwise, really don't know what to do ler.....

Poor mummy boy, now really got nice and deep scar next to his left eyes....no handsome anymore ler....just because of his naughtiness...really hope Isaac won't be soooo naughty like ko ko ler...but, from the trait, Isaac slowly start to show active and naughty lor.....every day learn from Jona....how to be 'guai' ler...

aiyooo....boy = boy....mummy just going to have lots of false 'heartattack' everyday, every minute and every second with 3 man in mummy life.....

Life is full of fun and surprise, I guess!!

Ko Ko -> Di Di = Mummy Gone CRAZY!!

mmm...know only I really feel the jealously between Jona and Isaac....before Isaac came to this world, Jona is everything..what he want - attention, love, caring, cuddle = all go to him....so, maybe, when Isaac, his little Di Di came to this world and share with him all attention, love from daddy + mummy + grandma + aunties, Jona just not use to it...

When he stay with my mum and youngest sister in my hometown, Jona is really well behave, all those good attitude, until everyone praise him is good boy since became ko ko...go kindy, no crying at all....

But, since he back to Puchong (home sweet home) really, become little MONSTER!! Everyday, he definitely make his family gone crazy esp mummy + grandma.....just list fews of it....

1. Everday, once I bring Isaac back home from nanny house, step my first foot into the house, even the sofa is not warm up yet by my buttock...I heard crying sound from Isaac...you know what...Ko ko 'kacau' Isaac again.....Jona know Isaac weakness point, so, everyday, he just wait at the door for Isaac, and once Isaac back with smiling face, there the little monster go....he make tiger sound "waw, wawww, waaaawwwww....."..beginning low tone, when Isaac has no response, the tone increase louder and louder until Isaac cry.....ha,ha..his tactic work!! Jona so happily walk away with satisfied smiling......and, it make mummy + grandma 'kelam kabut' calm Isaac, or scold Jona...he just don't care at all......

2. Or, when mummy turn head to one side for a while, Isaac crying, cause Jona pull his leg/hand so rough or beat him....as long as Isaac not crying, Ko Ko won't feel happy..... :(

3. Etc....

Why like that? :( Good little angel become evil little monster.....I guess all because of jealousy among sibling....just wish and pray, one day, both will be playing happily...

HFMD

Wowww...it really scared me off when my mum called me up end of last Friday, while I still in the midst of sleeping mood.....

She is panic and wanted to come back to KL immediately after the HFMD situation getting worst in Sarawak....My sister kindy close for 2 weeks with immediate effect after one of her student got infected with HFMD...Of course, parents of smaller kids getting worry just like me lar...but, for my sis, she is really happy cause it mean out of sudden, she got 2 weeks holiday ler......she said just feel so relax from hearing toddler running here and there, or jump or fall or whatever they did, really drive her crazy lor.... :P happy for her too.....

But, not for my mum...She really love Jona so much that she scared Jona might get infected, and she want to protect him by coming back to KL the soonest the possible(which too bad, all flight is fully book until Wed - 8th March)...poor grandma....panic and worry till the day arrived!

So, stop schooling for Jona after 1 mths.....

Why my mum so worried is because end of Feb, out of sudden, after the HFMD outbreak, Jona still go schooling and back from school, he sudden got fever(not so high), throat a bit inflammed and running nose.....Bring him to see paed and confirm it is just a normal fever which might due to playing with water lor......ha,ha.....Grandma just let her grandson play with water after bath...Jona just like acting as 'Kipper - the dog'....

No matter how....I really can't wait for 2moro to come, cause my darling Jonathan will be back!! Hurray...his daddy got excited already..keep talking "my darling Jona will be back in 4 days, 3 days, 2 days...." and this morning, "Jona will be back tomorrow lor".."can't wait ler"..."i will kiss and hug him first compare to you"......can see daddy excitment of his son finally back to KL after 1.5 mths in Sibu....

Actually, HFMD outbreak is not too bad ler, at least, my Jonathan back to KL earlier rather than coming back on April.....kah,kah..pity my mum lar on the other side...she want to stay longer and have fun with her friends.....

But, definitely she will going back again soon......with Jonathan!! (pokai his mummy ;) )

Working hour: 8 - 5pm

Previously, my working hour is 9 -6pm...at first, can't really see the impact of having same working hour with most of people out there...until I move to new house (jurassic park -as my colleague said) and have Isaac Noel in my life.....

Rushing to send and fetch Isaac in the beginning really put tone of stress and pressure on myself...until 'beh tahan' anymore....who said can tahan? Wake up early morning (sacrifice my sleep) and send him to nanny house -> beat traffic hour to reach office in time -> start working pressure/stress from boss -> leave office MUST sharp 6pm and fetch Isaac around 7pm (otherwise, nanny pull long face).....

So, end up, asked everyone involve (hubby and boss) to compromise....To boss: request change office hour to 8-5pm -> reason: being really stress up..think will effect my work performance in long run....immediately agree...hurray!!! yes!! mission 1: completed! To hubby, ask him to send Isaac to nanny house in the morning, so, I don't have to rush here and there, and can slowly 'warm up' and prepare to go to work directly....pity me. Agree immediately...YES!! Mission 2: completed!

So, it has been almost 1 mth I start new working hour...the pressure and stress of traffic hour really reduce dramatically....hubby said, can see my smiling face back again and didn't heard that I keep complain day and night once reach home...no more bad temper......he can feel that I really happy with new working hour...of course lar!

Who said not happy...let me tell you....

I wake up around 6.30 cause my alarm clock - Isaac Noel will bilbla,bilbla on his bed....then, start brushing teeth,etc and kiss Isaac, play with him for a while, instructed hubby what to inform nanny...off to work around 7.15am.....used NKVE(even though have to pay extra RM 3.70) but, guess worth the pressure in traffic jam...arrive office around 7.50am ler!! work, work, work..then, around 5pm, back - he,he....reach nanny house around 5.30 or 5.35pm....so early....

If I want to do something else before fetching Isaac, I have plenty of time.....no more rushing to beat the time or traffic.....

Cool ler.....30 min, from PJ to Puchong...imagine!!..That's why I really LOVE my new working hour.....hope it will last and not just temporary.....

Hubby - Babysitting?!

Ha,ha...until now, when I think of it, I really still find it funny, nervous, panic, etc(anything you name it)

As usual, once a year, our company will have a strategy meeting in local office (mean a serious meeting with EC - executive committee). So, coincidental, this year strategy meeting is on Monday (27th Feb 06). I already told my hubby that strategy meeting is really stress and serious, so, I might not be able to call/sms him or anything for whole day. He fully understand.

My hubby never ever dare to babysit either Jona or Isaac cause he is not confident with them. Since nanny charge so high for babysitting Isaac at night (RM 35), can see my hubby really reluctant to let nanny 'suck our blood' anymore. He volunteer to take care of Isaac by himself. At first, I don't agree cause he no experience ler...what happen if he cannot handle Isaac(Isaac very very naughty ler)? All those funny questions pop into my mind.....Finally, I gave in...Last friday, he already take care of Isaac after pick him up from nanny house around 7pm (I was on the way back from PD after partner meeting). He called me asking this, that, blah,blah to handle Isaac....Thanks GOD! No problem at all....and this boost his confident...ha,ha....

On Monday, as usual, he pick up Isaac around 7.45pm. And, once reach home, Isaac Noel cried so loud(actually, I could said not crying but screaming!!!)...My hubby got panic, call me(which I guess my handphone will burst cause non stop!!) sms me, leave Isaac crying voice messenger......but, I just couldn't pick up, cause it is my turn to do strategy presentation (7 -8.30pm)....

When I went back home, my hubby face still in pale and panic.....so funny to see him tell me his tale story of taking care of his second prince.....he said "Isaac Noel just cried non stop...and like scream out from his lung....no stop ler..u know, non stop for half an hour!!! It really drive me crazy and I can even climb on the wall ler...Even though I give him pacifier, he don't want(of course lar, hubby give wrong pacifier ;p ), milk also don't want (of course lar, Isaac a bit like king - he asked milk, must milk, if not given faster, then, sorry ya...he will throw tantrum for few minutes!)..." He keep repeating same thing, cry non stop lar... until he make some milk for darling Isaac, only then, he stop crying and sleep like nobody business.....

"Wow, your darling son huh, cannot ler....really bully me teruk teruk one"....I only answer him back..."Now, only u know huh? How teruk I jaga him since day 1 ler"...."Yeah, yeah, darling, now, only I know....really really sorry ler. Next time, I will rush back home to help you take care of both princes ya?"

Yes..yes...my dream almost come true...I can start thinking of going out with my friend again soon (guess lar).....this babysitting never come cross my mind at all to 'indirectly' let my hubby to experience babysitting his lovely son....maybe, GOD heard my pray....

Cause he always give me reason if I asked him babysitting Jona or Isaac.....guess really must let my hubby try on real scenario...only then, he panic, SOS also cannot answer, then, he will start using his 'man brain' lor in handling baby....kah,kah...

Next day, darling hubby tell me again"Next time, I have experience already, really know how to take care of Isaac, if he cried, immediately, fast, fast make milk, and pop into his mouth" with full confident in his face while he talking to me....

"Yeah, yeah, I hope so lar".....reply from me but deep in my heart, I really proud of my darling cause he finally do want to try babysitting Isaac all alone by himself without real practise...."Kudos, darling dear".....

Mummy or Nanny better in handling Isaac Noel?

During CNY, I took a week off from work, just to take care of Isaac Noel - since nanny want additional 2 days off....

Not said I compare my skill with nanny, I know my skill in handling Isaac or Jona is still 'cha sui' one...of course Isaac's nanny is better than me (she has 4 kids ler)....But, few reasons make me think twice whether she is capable of handling Isaac or not....

1. I told her that Isaac can manage to drink up to 5 oz at home and during CNY, I manage to feed Isaac 5 oz every 3 hours...But, when Isaac went to nanny house this week, drop back to 4oz and sometimes, only 2oz or 2 and half oz after 3 hours. I'm not sure whether nanny have no patient in feeding Isaac or what?? Just make mummy worry so much....or maybe, because of different teat....Nanny feed Isaac using Anakku special teat (made from silicone). If Isaac dont' suck, the milk won't flow out.....But, back home, I tried to use same teat, but, just not successful, so, I switch it back to Pigeon teat - rubber teat, and Isaac LOVE it so much (nanny dislike rubber teat, cause after steam for several time, find it have kind of smell - she said, scared long term, cause cancer wo)

2. During CNY, Isaac start to stop feeding at night..Maybe, day time too full (being fed by mummy)....but, after went back to nanny, Isaac start again feeding at night. Does it mean that Isaac is not full at day time? I really black out, cause Jona never feed at night..So, Isaac could be my first experience......also, every day, Isaac back home, immediately cry for milk and sleep...can drink up to 6oz - 7 oz before night sleep??!!

3. And, if I go travel, putting Isaac at nanny care for a week, once I bring Isaac back home, I find that he will reduce weight. Not that heavy when carry him??

But, of course on top of all these, nanny really has good heart and patient...never see her got angry...and she is very hygiene too...Isaac take bath twice at nanny home, but, back home, ha,ha..mummy very very lazy, only once....but, of course, did wipe Isaac from time to time, and wipe thoroughly before sleep lar...

Guess, since I request nanny to take care of Isaac, I need to trust her in taking care of Isaac and doesn't need to doubt so much.....maybe, I just need to be relax and not over thinking....

Jona experience in kindergarden

Today, my mum enroll Jona into another kindy cause the previous one is not reach my mum expectation..why I would said so:-

1. The teacher is not experience at all.

2. While all other students learn to write on piece of paper, he just let my Jona boy play by himself (at that moment, my mum curi curi saw Jona playing a ball under the table!!!) - maybe, the teacher doesnt' want to teach Jona anything because he is just temporary student...

3. On first day, Jona cut his tiny little finger. When my mum check with the teacher, she just ignore and said Jona must cut himself at home. (which is impossible, cause on the way back on 1st day schooling, Jona keep telling grandma "Ah ma, Ah ma, aiyoh - while pointing to his little finger)..And, there is blood too..the cut is really deep until whole afternoon and night, Jona keep saying "Ah ma, aiyooh!!"

So, today is Jona first day schooling at new kindy....

Maybe, this one, looks more like real kindy. Jona got a bit of shock and scared seeing some children crying. So, he hold tight his grandma hand, won't let her go for quite sometimes....After he calm down, grandma went off (but, curi curi stay lar). Saw my Jona boy being comfort by assistant teacher. She gave him candy. And, then, Jona just follow wherever she go. Few minutes pass, Jona give back the candy to the assistant teacher... ha,ha...so funny - he don't eat candy, so, he will pass back to teacher one....good boy!!

After schooling, Jona is so happy to see grandma come and fetch him. While on the way back, he hold grandma hand, and walk side by side. Then, he saw so many cars passby him. He said " Ah ma, car! car! car!"...Then, he saw bicycle, and tell grandma " Ah Ma, what's that?" Grandma got shock....ha,ha...didn't know that Jona will asked so many questions after schooling for 3 days...

Seeing my mum inform me all this new make mummy feel so lousy cause didn't see how my Jona boy is so excited going to school and so happy.....

Just realise Jona is really growing up..he seem to be more obedient after CNY - does it sign that he is growing up? He love to play with friends too.....

How I wish I could be there to see all these happen for the first time.....just wishing n know it won't happen.... ;(

My little Jona - First day at kinder

This morning, while still blur blur at work, my mum called me up(at the moment, she is in Sarawak with my darling Jonathan). She asking for my opinion of which kindy(kindergarden) to enroll Jona(just temporary upon my request for 2 mths).....

Kindy in Sarawak is really cheap compare to KL. But, I really not sure of the level yet, cause it is my mum who did the research.....

She told me " This morning, I asked Jona to carry his little bag and walk to one of the kindy. He seem so happy and walk, jump and sing all the way. Then, at the kindy, he seem to be enjoy so much the friend and environment there.....When I went to another kindy, Jona seem to be ok - no crying and willing to be left alone".....

After discussed with my mum, I hang up the call. Just sitting there for a while and wondering...."is mummy little boy grown up already?" Suddenly, I just realise that I have been too protective of my Jona..He seem to be so happy to go to kindy while his 'lousy' mummy keep thinking he is not big enough or old enough to go to kindy, scared he can't protect himself, blah,blah,blah...come x1001 excuse......when thinking of it, I feel like time is moving so fast and without realise my Jona now, attend temporary kindy in Sarawak with so much joy and fun!!!

Maybe, I should enroll him at kindy nearby my house when he back to KL.......The reason, why I delay enroll him because he still young (now 2.5 yrs old) and I don't want him to be pressure at school. I just want him to have fun playing and enjoying his life before the real school started......maybe, my thinking is old....I'm not too sure about it now ....

Another thing, now, kindy fee in KL is so expensive....checking the price...for first registration fee, I have to pay RM 1100 and every mth - RM 180.....wow.....meaning, I have to put aside additional RM 3080 just for Jona schooling (not real schooling yet).....how about when proper schooling time???
