All about my Sweet & Wonderful Family consist of Dadi, Momi, Jona and IZ
I just 'LOVE' to see babies naked..Don't know why?
So, for both my sons: since they re still baby till now, I already start taking their nude photo.
And, I just realise, when both my babies naked, I can't really differentiate which photo is Jona or Isaac. Both looks alike ler...
See what I mean f.....
I couldn't agree more when people said Isaac is fast learner. I just realise it is especially, yesterday nite, during my BIL wedding dinner, he can just sit there whole night 'play' by himself (of course, there is time when he is cranky)...ha,ha...we just let him play with his plate/bowl/chopstick/etc...what to do, to make baby quiet.... On second row: Around 10 mths old, he know how to press the mobile phone and put at his ear, pretending he is making a call....Guess, seeing too much Papa & Mama using phone.... See, just so brave to climb chair and tricycle in pretending paddle the tricycle....**OMG** Mama just so scared he will fall down (coz previously, Jona always fall down), but, so far, he manage to break the record...he,he Bottom row: Wowww..this is just fanstatic and adorable...seeing little angel is playing with his toys without distraction...He just climb the chair and sit by himself and play the toys WHEN Jona not around, but, just for few minutes: he start climbing again....around 11 mths.
On top: Isaac is climbing his walker, and steady play with the balls. He never tho that he will fell off (which in reality, he indeed never fell off from it compare to Jona previously).. - only 10 mths old.
Finally, mama can really feel a bit of relieve....Jona start to communicate with us smoothly...Nowdays, Jona can have simple conversation with us without any problem or needing any body languages. I guess Jona is 'category' as slow talker - start only at 3+..
Isaac crying wanting to snatch Jona's toy:
Jona: "Isaac, no cry..."
Isaac still crying..
Jona: "Good boy, Isaac, Good boy..no cry, ok? " "Nah..." Give him other toys..
Immediately Isaac stop crying
(Walau ler, if now, mama go and 'pujuk' Isaac, sure cannot one. Jona so good huh?)
Yesterday night, my car got small accident - bang into our house automatic gate, due to Isaac accidentaly press the button while I driving into the car porch...looking at my car
Jona: "Mommy, what's happen?" Looking at my face
Mama: "Nothing, Jona. Just looking at the damage lor"
Jona: "Mommy, no sad"
See I didn't reply..
Jona: "Mommy, no cry, ok?" (while patting my hair)
Mama: ???? he,he, my boy so good one ler..can comfort mommy lor
Jona really changed a lot nowdays.....grow up lor...aiyoohhh....
Yesterday nite, I really have a shocked! Not because of anything lar...it is about my young princes - Isaac Noel. In mommy + daddy + anyone mind, all see little Isaac as a gentle, humble and the most important 'cute cute baby'.
Never to my imagination, yesterday, I really see with my own eyes that Isaac start 'fighting' with his ko ko and fierce some more....
All started from mommy: "Aiyah"...actually, I love to watch 'You Fu' drama series from Singapore mah (from 7 - 8pm)...kesian mommy ler, I only got chance to watch this due to time conveience....
And little Isaac so naughty, just purposely go and press the channel (he just love to do it), so, Ko Ko help mommy to press it back (when mommy order Ko Ko to do so) since he just play nearby....Finally, Ko Ko might get upset of keep helping mommy change the channel back and can't concentrate playing his shape and shape house, immediately block the tv view so, Isaac couldn't press it, and Jona take own action: of pushing Isaac away so hard. And, little Isaac just fell down. Isaac got angry and crying (as usual, ask for mommy help)...before I could go over and carry Isaac, so sudden, Isaac sit on his own and 'grab' ko ko birdie so hard ler...just like tiger kill his prey (with fierce expression on his face - like 'tak puas hati' of being bully by his KoKo all the while)....then, Ko Ko just go and complain to everyone that Isaac 'grab' his birdie lor.... :P
I have a feeling that 'World War IV' is starting in my house liao.... **alamak**
Anyway, as mommy, it is really nice to see that Isaac start to protect himself rather than keep being bully by Jona since day 1, I bring Isaac back home from hospital.... Isaac need to learn self-defence soon or later....
I just fall in LOVE with the photo in middle (above) - so natural and fantastic!!
Bad part, he still love to draw on the wall (sometimes) even tho he know it is not allowed (aiyoo)
This is BEFORE the room being convert into play room...so messy with lots of unused stuff..golf set, bouncinet, etc...
This is the AFTER re-design of the room. I design one side as 'study place' for Jona when he enter pre-school next year - after school, doing homework. For this corner, I went to IKEA to do some shopping - only spend RM 139 for the red table. Just put the easel together same row with table so, Jona could do some drawing or mommy write something for Jona...
On another end, I placed a 3 tier cupboard for Jona to put his story books, colouring books, stationery (even tho he hasn't really go to school yet, the cabinet is almost full).... mmm, should buy a bigger one in future...in this corner, I place keyboard also (both Jona and Isaac love music so much). Jona can even sing "Do Re Mi, Do Mi Do Mi, Mi Fa So La Ti La Do"...and next to it, some simple table toys for Isaac. While Jona play with keyboard, Isaac can play with his table toys...
On opposite end of the study corner, I placed all the toys there. So, who ever want to play with toys, can sit and play there. So, at the end of the day, if Jona do colouring, then, Isaac can play his toys at opposite corner without disturbing each others (bravo to mommy for this idea, he,he....)
Finally, I do some 'touch-up' of the room. To make it more attractive and lively for kids to have fun.....What did I do? I put some alphabet floormat near the toys corner and keyboard corner. So, the kids would have more comfortable place to sit on while busy with their activities...and, on the wall, I stick some nice and colourfull 'decoration' - sun, cloud, flower pot, fish, deer, snoopy, etc.........
Comment from my family:-
Daddy: "Wow, u re too free lar...now, you can open a daycare/nursery...with this size of room, you can accomodate 5 kids....mmm, should charge RM 500 per month...."
Replies from mommy: "eeeiii...if you could give me some modal, then, I might open the daycare/nursery lor"
Jona / Isaac: Yesterday, I 'test' them out...they just love this room so much...Jona just so busy sit on the chair and do some colouring while Isaac just too busy playing with the toys...then, later, both play keyboard together.....then, later, Jona play with his balloon and Isaac just practise his new found skill of 'throwing' the basketball into basketball net....
Replies from mommy: "Yes, yes....my mission completed with success.." Guess because of my kids, I could come out with some idea of how to design their play room into nice and comfortable one even tho I'm not a pro interior designer. At least, my kids love it.
Hooray, school holiday start = meaning I won't be stuck in traffic even tho I woke up late (hi,hi...actually, I still don't feel the school holiday mood yet, maybe, Jona is still young - not really schooling yet)...
This morning when I wake up at 7.15am, after wash my face, Jona came to my room (as usual).
Jona: Mummy, where Isaac?
Mummy: **smile** and show where Isaac sleep to him
:p so funny...early morning, Jona is already looking for Isaac...and funny is, Isaac still sleep like 'KAYU' or 'PIG' on his matress but, Jona can't find him.... he,he...make mummy Monday morning so excited and funny...think of it, still will laugh...
Maybe, can't blame Jona too...still blur blur, plus mummy put so many 'white' pillow at the edge of Isaac matress (scared this little pig fall down lor)...and yesterday nite, Isaac wear white pyjamas with some cartoon in the middle ...so, how to find Isaac in early morning?? ;p
Can see that Jona, even tho, always fight with Isaac, but, without Isaac in the morning, Jona just feel so boring...same for Isaac too = that's what BROTHERS for (that's why, mummy want to have at least 2 kids)
Yesterday nite, I have been thinking a lot about what actually I want in my life...
All started when I got a new from my colleague that he will be leaving soon - better package/offer and career advancement/grow as he said..Actually, he still will doing the same task/job, just different is the salary package and different company...I really do feel happy for him even though it is by no surprise (he has been telling me, he want resign since day 1 I know him ~ for 5 years!!)And, the Pros is: He still young + bachelor = lots of challenge and opportunity is waiting for him..
And, yesterday evening, when I bring Jonathan & Isaac to playground as usual, I meet another mommy who telling me that from next year onward, I won't be seeing her during weekday anymore. Reason: She change job, also same: career growth, job satisfaction (self growth)..and most important thing: MONEY, can give her family a better life..She also said, in another word, sacrifice time with kids for better living/MONEY...
When I think back, actually, I do have few opportunities of being promoted which being offered by my company since 2003, 2004 & 2005. Too bad, I reject all of them!! Now kinda thinking back, what a waste... me really like donkey...
At the end of 2003, my boss offered me to be posted as expatriate either based in China or Korea. To set up new regional office, help open and stable the market, assist the local distributor to prepare to handle it themselves, etc. Duration: 2 years. Or, posting to Australia, for 6 mths period each times. At that time, without thinking or consider about it, I reject the offer...Even though, my brother keep encourage me to grab that offered, assure me that I'm able to handle it. As for my hubby, he neither object/protest nor encourage me at all!! He just don't bother at all....That moment, I really firm with my decision: "If you still asked me to take the offer, I will resign....he,he...(thinking back, I really 'siao lan' lor...really crazy)... can said like that to my boss.
Reason: I just can't spend less time with my precious son - Jonathan...
Then, in 2004, my boss offered again another career advancement. Be the head dept of medical division. And, nicely, I reject that offer again.
Same reason: Because of my precious son. I just want to see him grown up, be there for him when he need me, see his first milestone, etc....I know if I accept this offer, I will have less time for family, cause I have 'more burden' and stress for my job - to do the BEST..
Finally, end of 2005 / early 2006, last offered: Being regional Manager to manage 3 office - China, Korea and Malaysia for the product I'm assigned to...which you know the answer by now liao...I didn't grab it either...
Yesterday scenario, really make me take a seat and think why certain people in different situation/background would take such move - career advancement, money, self satisfaction (even tho sacrifice their time with their kids) etc..and myself still 'like idiot' or 'donkey', still handle same position/job for few years already without any career advancement...
Do I really want it to be this way for my life?? Even tho, I keep saying because I want to spend more time with my kids, but, I'm still working and 'tight' with my job schedule/task which I don't really see any different at all if I took my ex-boss offered few years back with more money to spend ler!!
Conclusion: Till now, I still can't decide it and zzzzzzzzzz off half way (too tired gua).....while thinking of it yesterday nite, but, awake when little Isaac cried and said 'nen nen'.... ;p Guess, being working mommy is just not that easy at all, but, seeing my baby Isaac, said 'nen nen', cried, without open his eyes - immediately grab the feeding bottle for milk milk and then, pass it back to me gently and doze off within second really do give me lots of satisfaction, I could said at least!!
(what nonsense I'm talking here....)
Really, if possible, don't lost your passport....It is really like a nightmare!!
Actually, in early 2005, I 'lost' my passport. To tell the truth, I actually, didn't know where I misplaced it or lost it(thanks to my pre-pregnancy symptom), I, myself didn't know till the night before I need to go to Singapore, only I realise - my passport is gone!! Police advice me to write passport lost due to thief in my statement, so, no need investigation and I can get my new passport immediately which is not...
I go through all the trouble of getting a replacement - wait for 3 mths to be investigate and have to send my request to Sarawak Immigresen to do so (cause I'm Sarawakian mah)....and finally, I get my passport and back to normal life after few mths. In another aspect, I'm free from travelling :) and my belly getting bigger day by day...
To cut story short, to my horror, I spend almost whole working day getting my passport renewal yesterday!! Can you imagine that - from 8.30 - 3pm?? Thanks to my company, which asked me to travel to Europe in the middle of Nov, which indirectly force me to renew my passport ASAP...
At 8.30am, I started already queue for the machine renewal passport at Damansara Height Immigresen (heard my colleague said superb fast)...but, when is my turn after queuing for 30 min, the officer in charge, told me I have to renew my passport by taking number (upstair). Reason: I lost my passport before...
Ok, at 9.10am, I got my number showing, that in front of me, there is around 150 people waiting....wait, wait, and wait...finally, at 10.40am, it is my turn...Hooray!!! To my dismay, after checking several minutes my document, he said, "Sorry, you cannot renew passport here"..."cause your passport lost, and we need 2 copies of passport all pages, 2 copies of IC, 2 copies of Birth Certificate"..."I will be working here till 4pm, come back see me once you have all these"...then, I told him, I'm not sure, where I keep my Birth Cert liao...and he kind enough to ask his colleague, and they told me..."You have to go back to Shah Alam, where you get your passport replacement before, reason: they didn't print your old passport details on the last page of this passport, so, we can't renew for you"..... ????!!!! What? How could it be possible??
Keep curse myself of so careless of misplace my passport in 2005, while driving to Shah Alam immigresen and arrive at 11.50am...The officer is not friendly at all...when I show her and told her what happened, she just give me number and ask me back at 2pm.....can you imagine?? I told her, I have been whole morning in immigresen Damansara Height already, and in angry tone, she told me "We have lots of people waiting here!"...
Spending my time, eating lunch slowly at KFC till 2pm...and wait back to the queue again....Again, my turn, the office ask same questions again...."why only 2 years?" I explained, and she said, ooohh...maybe, we cannot renew for you...and she asked her officer...both talk so long and tell me again, the last page no printed, etc....
Finally, at 3pm...I get my passport renew..and the officer 'sindir' me some more...."Next time, you should come straight to Shah Alam, so, you won't waste whole day"..."After 5 years, should no problem to renew at the machine lor"....
&^$(%^$$#....Morale of the story: Don't ever misplace or lost passport again lor!!
Since young, Jona has this habit of throwing toys or anything after he bored with it..and when I plead him to pick up and put back into toy basket, he just ignored me...
Suddenly, yesterday nite, after I put Isaac to sleep for a while, I bring Jonathan to his toys room, and show him how messy it was and ask he to pick up the toys and put into the toys basket....
Jona: Ok...
And, start collecting the toys on the floor and put into basket, one by one... he,he...mummy really surprise and proud..so happy that finally, my son is a big boy and willing to help mummy lor...and the toys room just turn into nice, well arrange toys room again in 15 minutes (of course with mummy help)
Well done, Jonathan!!
See my 2nd Prince - Isaac Noel is sooo daring compare to my 1st Prince - Jonathan...Isaac really LOVE stunt action (which mummy heart always beating so fast)....
Yesterday, Isaac insist he want to cycle his ko ko tricycle ( can see quite big bicycle for Isaac). He can climb and sit on the tricycle and his tiny legs try to touch the padle to move it....
Without any support from daddy or mummy, he can hold the stearing steadily...bravo and well done Isaac !! He is only 13 mths old!!
Compare to Isaac, Jona happily sit at the back of tricycle or holding/playing with his toys - KFC clock or fire bridge car on the wall....vroommmmm.....
Guess Ko Ko is not as brave or daring as Ti Ti lor..
That's my boys!!
My job need me to travel quite extensively....and today, I need to travel to Taiwan till Monday (23rd Oct) and stay at home for 2 days before 'off' again to HK till Sat (28th Oct) next week....which mean that I will 'miss' my darling sons so much and dont' see them for 2 consecutive weekends...
This morning scenario between Jona and myself is quite 'cute' and 'sad' for me to accept...
I was double check my stuff this morning around 7.15am when Jona suddenly pop up in front of me...As usual, after he wake up, he will come down straight from his room (while grandma wash and brush teeth). The conversation start:-
Jona : Good morning, mummy
Mummy : Good morning, Jona
(saw a cab outside our house)
Jona: There is a car outside (then, he walk to the sofa)
Mummy : Yes. Jona. Mummy going outstation again. This time, going to Taipei and back on Monday.
Jona: mmm..ok. Good bye, mummy
Mummy: ?? (just thinking: wow, my son really grown up lor...know me going outstation)
Mummy: You must be a good boy when mummy not around ok?
Jona: OK.
Mummy: Don't be naughty ya?
Jona: OK
Mummy: Give mummy a hug and kiss
Jona obey hug me and give me a sweet kiss.....(I almost cried...)
While walk to the door,
Jona: Good bye, mummy
Mummy: Good bye, darling
In one year period, around Isaac nanny house, I met with 2 'minor' accident....not really big deal actually, but, just think of remind myself....
Nanny house is opposite to playground, as you know, lot of children either playing swing, football, etc...
One afternoon, after fetching Isaac, and only drive 20km/j, suddenly, a boy kick the ball so far that it roll to main road (imagine how strong his kick - good footballer in future, he,he) and just coincidence, roll under beneath of my car....I didn't realise it, cause busy talking and playing with Isaac while driving slowly passing the housing area. Suddenly, heard loud 'boommm'..both me and Isaac got a SHOCK and immediately I stop my car and see....only realise the ball roll underbeneath and my car run over it....can see all boys in the field show dissapointed face....SORRY, not mean too...
Next day, no one is playing football in the field, but, following day, guess some parent bought new ball gua..they happily start playing again....
I told my hubby this incident and he said, I should buy new ball for them....what?!! Hello, it is not my fault and somemore, I'm not millionaire ler....if every day like this...habis lor.. i better change job to become a banker/printing money by myself...he,he....
Yesterday, another incident happen just before I reached nanny house. After making a corning quite slowly and on correct lane, I guess with 40km/j, suddenly see one boy cycle bicycle so fast (like Shumey), and he is on my lane!! When he see me, suddenly he got panic and try to stop his bicycle which unluckily, not able to do so, and 'BANG' into my car so hard...but, he is lucky, cause I already stop my car and hoping he is able to do so..who know...then, I go down from the car, and asked whether he is ok and wanted me to send him home...while rubbing his leg and adjust his bicycle, he complain...*I sudah nak stop, basikal saya ada brek, cuma awak #@!$%@* ...can heard that he complain that I'm wrong but with very small voice (he just little boy around age of 8 - malay boy)....
How daring boy nowdays??!! And, the neighbour around Isaac nanny house saw this incident, told me that it is really dangerous and the kids always cycle on main road without precautious....
Really hoping in future, my darling Jona or Isaac Noel won't doing that all by themselves without mummy or daddy supervising...
I just wondering which mummy or daddy won't be upset if all these happen to our own kids....yesterday, Jona came back from school with high fever, and non of the school teacher or the driver inform us that Jona got fever till my mum carry Jona from the school-car only realise Jona got HIGH fever (38.6 C)!!
I really quite upset with this pre-school...really, if I got chance, I will **slap** this principal for broken her promise. Initially, when the school had open day end of last year, she keep calling me to persuade me to enroll Jona in her school...almost every night...and when I mention will enroll in July, around end of June, she call again....
Once I enroll Jona to her preschool, below is the scenarios that happens which really make me think I have make terrible mistake:-
Scenario 1: 2 weeks attend preschool + daycare = one evening, when I go and fetch Jona from daycare, teacher told me that Jona today, 'pinch' one girl (who happen to be my next neighbour DD). This old lady teacher said, maybe, both playing and accidentally Jona pull the girl hand and the girl try to avoid, and 'ta ta ta'...I do said apologise on behalf of Jona...Then, this teacher ask me to promise not to tell the principal that she told me...Just let the principal inform me about this incident.....never to my imagination that the principal in return 'accuse' me that Jona learn pinching stuff from home?! What? Jona is the eldest, who he would learn it from home?! So far, we never pinch him except use rotan to cane him lar....
Scenario 2: This happen also when Jona in the daycare...Teacher told me, Jona very naughty, make one kid fall backward...when I asked further...this is the actual scenario....Jona inform teacher, he want pee pee, and this 'old lady' might didn't heard it, so don't bother, and Jona just pee pee on the floor....of course lar, 2 yrs +, what do you expect? And, before this teacher mop it, another young boy (same age with Jona) purposely walk over the urine and slip off and bang his head backward...And, teacher accuse it is Jona who being so naughty and scold him...do you think this is fair?
Scenario 3: Everytimes when I fetch Jona back from daycare, once I reach the school,and Jona see me, immediately he will grab his school bag and tell teacher "teacher, teacher, mummy is here' (repeating), and then, stand near the grill (I mean door grill not gate). The teacher, always reply in strong tone 'Jona come here! Sit down, and don't move!' ' You only stand when I have open the grill and ask you to go!'....What the hell?! My son just being so excited seeing mummy and want to go home, that's all after long day in preschool + daycare...can't he has some 'freedom'?
(I never have problem when I bring Jona out for shopping either in Tesco, etc. He will always follow me politely....I just wondering, if you open a daycare, you should be a caring teacher/nanny to guide and teach n talk nicely with the kids - wonder all these bunch of teachers did receive their diploma in childcare or not)
Scenario 4: This happen recently, last Friday. Jona came back from school, and when my mum want to fetch Jona from the school-car, the driver told my mum 'fall down' and off...And, then, Jona told my mum '(his classmate name), fall, fall,aiyo'. Both his palm is so red (luckily, no ulcer, etc)..So, I call and ask the principal what happen to Jona in school today....
You know what she told me "no, no, nothing happen in school...I asked the driver and she told me, she never told your mum that Jona fall down. He might just fell down all by himself when he open the car door"....WHAT?!!
Scenario 5: As I mention earlier, Jona got really high fever yesterday, when he back from school....why no one from the school call us to inform us, to bring Jona back and see doctor?? Shouldn't the teacher being a bit concern about little kids that schooling there?
I really piss off with the school and principal...all in her mind, is money, money, money...she didn't even teach at that school...anyway, I already enroll Jona in another kindy for next year (really hope this one is much better and secure and more professional in handling kids)...
p/s: lots of mummy also really unsatisfied with their kid performance, teacher/principal attitude from this kindy....few of them told me (while we're chit chatting at playground during evening time)they also withdraw their kid from that kindy and move to another better kindy.... he,he...of course lar, we paid so much and this is what we get in return - really not a good investment tho....
Guess now I should start joting now Jona / Isaac Noel latest development progress from time to time (before mummy forgot totally about it) - got this idea when my younger sister, Flora asked me when Jona got first tooth, Jona don't want milk, how you 'encourage' him to drink, etc....
Jonathan (3 years and 2 months old)
Progress: Nowdays, Jonathan really love books. Everyday, back home, definitely hold book + colour pencils + pencil.....even though, when I force him to pronounce some words which is hard for him, and later he did, I will praise him and bring him to 'mini mart' to buy sweet/candy mah...who know, he want go to bookstores and select one colouring book that he likes!!
Till today, he still bully his Di Di, but, after that, he will rub Isaac head, said 'sorry, Isaac' or 'don't cried'....so sweet....both now, start to enjoy each other companion...
Isaac Noel (1 years old)
Progress: Start his first few steps already...too active. Like to climb and sit on chair and 'goyang' his leg...or, climb and sit on his ko ko tricycle and make sound like 'weeewww''weeeewww''. Don't know how he get it..??
But, for Isaac, FOOD is number 1. Got food, don't bother anything... ha,ha...can swallow or eat anything you can offer to him...
Also, nowdays, if Ko Ko hit him, or not allow him to touch any of Ko Ko stuff or we don't fully his wish, he will 'roll' himself on the floor and cried so loud?!! Or, even scream so loud to tell us, Ko Ko beat him....when we carried him and comfort him, immediately he stop cried, and start to 'scold' his ko ko ...with his baby language - 'eee, aaa,aaaaaaaaaa'
So funny, see my boys progress day by day....
p/s: hooray..now I can let Isaac wear his new cutie mutie shoes
Happy Birthday, darling Isaac. Today, exactly at 8.45am, mummy give birth to you at Pantai Medical Centre, Bangsar...and dr informed mummy and daddy in OT that you're BOY with weight of 3.46kg...
This round, mummy didn't shed any tear in the OT, maybe, mummy expected that you will be SAFE: healthy and normal little boy that GOD bless mummy and daddy again...
Times really fly so fast, last year on this day, you still so quiet n cute n sleepy and adorable...and today, you develop into healthy, naughty, smart, really so adorable and so cute and handsome little prince....in another word: from egg into larvae, you already show mummy, you have good and pleasant attitude...so gentle and sweet.
