my small cranky monster

my mum went together with us.
my small monster


yesterday I met up with Serene. went robinsons closed door sale. bought some things. My girl was very cranky yesterday when coming back. Yell all the way in MRT from city hall to Jurong east. all the pple inside cannot tahan. heard some comments that why we bring her out, we should have keep her at home. I think by keeping her at home wun solve the problem, wanted to let her get use to surroundings and learn to cooperate with us.

I think my endurance level is going higher and higher. Have to learn to bear with all the yelling. Just doesn't know why she behave in this way and she is coming 13mth liao. The PD will only say maybe she is not comfortable. Maybe change milk powder etc. But all the scientific ways dun seems to help. She has been like that since the 1st month. And we know its not colic because until now she is still like that. sighz........

Maybe I should use the character given by the fengshui master last time. I din used the words given by her, I choose own words for her name. Perhaps the words are still too strong for her as her personality already very "strong". We are considering changing her name if things still dun improve next few months.

1st few steps with support

this week, my small girl can walk her first few steps without support.

These are the first 2 pieces of work I have done, before I did the rest during the kuantan trip.

More photos on Kuantan trip

Sunday morning b4 the program of that day started.
Saturday nite, after the dinner, my girl went up the empty stage and do some funni dance.
my girl found some play mates during saturday dinner. But my girl was very rough, not at all lady like. The gentle and sweet looking girl in the picture is not willing to let my girl hold her hands.

kuantan trip

I am back from Kuantan trip. Very tiring to bring a kid along. too long journey and bumpy road. My girl puke on Saturday evening, before we reach the hotel. We didn't manage to play most part of the treasure hunt as we are mislead by the GPS and gone long long way to dun know where. Only manage to find one place, which is the pandan waterfall. After that we tried to make our way to hotel and that was when my girl puke in her car seat. And till now, the car seat stink...

I think next time cannot bring kids along if really want to take part in the challenge actively.

post some photos of the whole trip.

sentosa underwater world

last Thursday. I brought my mum and small girl to sentosa underwater world to see fishes. My small girl now can appreciate fishes.She can say 'yu2'. I have tuition around 4.30pm, so we cannot stay long in sentosa. Only went to underwater world then we went back. Last wednesday nite, there was this very strong wind, one of the tree outside the underwater world fell down, and the mess was still there when we went on Thursday.

the fallen tree

Malaysia trip

tomolo early morning. We will be going to Kuantan by car. My hubby sign up for the Suvival challenge, so we are going to be on the road most of the time for the next 2 days. Dun know if my girl can take it....hopefully she wun be too cranky.

A fall

My big girl fell down from a chair on friday evening when she was eating dinner. She fell head down and knocked against the floor. There was a big bump on her forehead. After applying some "wonder cream", it was not so obvious yesterday and today.

But she is not scare, she is still climbing up and down chairs.

unlucky and lucky

Today is my unlucky day and my lucky day. Why?
I wore a "new" pair of shoes which I have bought and put inside cupboard for long time. And I wore it for the 1st time to tuition. My 1st tuition visit. And just after I cross the road at Admiralty MRT, my shoe came off. And I got to take the part that came off and walk one side up and one side down towards the void deck. I was thinking of what to do, still got a bit of distance to walk b4 I can reach my tuition kid house. And so paiseh to ask them for super glue or something to stick my shoe, it was the 1st tuition visit leh......

And I walk less than 30 steps towards the void deck, then I saw one uncle with a wooden box. The box was actually closed up and he was about to go off. I don't know why I have a strange feeling and I actually went up and ask him where I can find a person who repair shoes. And he say he is one..haha.....what a coincidence, so coincidence until I cannot believe my luck.

突然之间,我觉得他的头上有个光环. I sat there on a chair and wait for him to settle my shoe's problem. Took about 15mins. And I reached my tuition kid house just in time for tuition. I was so lucky today that I can't believe I will have this kind of luck.

updates

Have I been doing things constructive?
Recently just finished attending Basic theory and advance theory at BBDC.
Even though I got my basic in 2003, but I have forgotten everything basically...hhaha..
Have to start from scratch.

I will be taking my advance theory test on 11 May, which is my birthday. Not on purpose, there is only one date. Then 12 May I will start my practical session. Almost every morning I will be there learning.

And yesterday one tuition agency phoned me and say there is a tuition assignment.
Even though the rate is a bit lower than expected, I decided to take the assignment.
At least there is some income for me. teaching a little bit is good also, if not will get rusty very soon.

I can still take up a few more assignments. But have to wait for good lobangs.
Then I can learn driving in the morning and teach in the afternoons. Then evening still can fetch my girl. Will be quite good. one week teach 3 days will be good. And 2 days can spent with my girls.

悼阿桑

蛮喜欢阿桑。
她才34岁，这么年轻就因癌症离开了。
希望她没有带着太大的痛苦离去。
从网上搜索了<<叶子>>MTV。








叶子 是不会飞翔的翅膀
翅膀 是落在天上的叶子
天堂 原来应该不是妄想
只是我早已经遗忘 当初怎么开始飞翔

孤单 是一个人的狂欢
狂欢 是一群人的孤单
爱情 原来的开始是陪伴
但我也渐渐地遗忘 当时是怎样有人陪伴

我一个人吃饭 旅行 到处走走停停
也一个人看书 写信 自己对话谈心
只是心又飘到了哪里 就连自己看也看不清
我想我不仅仅是失去你

谈判失败

今天我们带大魔头到sembawang shopping centre的giant去买纸尿片。大魔头用的是Pampers。可是没有她的L size.我们也希望她能够换一个较便宜的牌子，毕竟她也该学习到厕所去，不能一直这样用尿片。我指着drypers的包装袋说:"哇，你看这么漂亮，是L的。Girl Girl用的那个已经没有L了，我们换这个好吗?这个有rabbit的和car car的sticker. 是orange colour的。怡伶最喜欢的颜色。"

她摇头。

(再问她几次。)

她开始不高兴。说"不要"。

我又苦口婆心劝她改变心意。
"这个很美，怡伶包这个很漂亮。" (她摇头)
"妈妈很喜欢这个，我们买这个好吗?" (她看着我，一副很无辜，很体恤我的表情。然后把整包纸尿片推向我，说:"妈妈包")

我转头看我老公，然后哈哈大笑起来。[觉得不可思议，她竟然会说出这样的话]


最后只好进行谈判。

先找来她最爱吃的糖果。她高兴极了，拿在手里。我们开始对话。
我:"你要糖糖吗?"
她:(点头)
我:"妈妈买给你，然后我们买刚才那个orange colour 的 L size好吗?"
她:(思考几秒钟)
她:(摇头)"不要"。
我拿了四包糖，全给她。然后对她说:"妈妈买四包糖糖给你，我们买那个L size的 diaper好吗?"
她:(毫不犹豫，猛烈摇头)"不要"
后来我还拿了各式各样的糖果引诱她，但都不成功。

再后来，我们找来了"紫色恐龙"Barney的拼图。
她拿在手里，很想要，但是我们一提到纸尿片的事，她便把东西还给我们，说"不要"。
不论我们用什么物品引诱她，她都不受诱惑，定力真的是超出一般人。

虽然谈判失败，但是我很确定她明白什么是谈判。
因为她并没有无理取闹，要我们买东西。
她知道要买那些东西的交换条件就是要换纸尿片的牌子。
而她是很"死脑筋"的那种。宁愿不要所有的东西，也不肯换牌子。

之后她一点悔意都没有。回家的路上也没有提起糖果的事。
她完全不觉得自己有失去什么。依旧开心，一副自得其乐的样子。

对我们来说她失去了很多机会。我们开出了很多很好的条件，可是她却错失了。
应该赞扬她有"原则"吗?还是劝她不要死脑筋呢?

boring story telling session

Video of my big girl story telling session. My small girl as usual is the only audience. And she is bored. haaha... my small girl reaction--trying to be attentive....puzzled look on face........getting bored......playing with things .....yawning.....

And my big girl start off the story without much logic, then continued to be very interested in her own story telling...........then keep on repeating the same words........

some old photos downloaded from my hp

These are photos of my big girl. Year 2006 and 2007

犯贱

人都有这样的毛病。
离开后总想着回去。

才刚进入放假的第三个星期，
一颗叫"犯贱"的种子开始萌芽。

突然想念我的学生。
虽然没有我，他们的日子照旧。
应该只是我自己单方面的想念吧?
我的4E3和2E5，你们有听话吗?

想念和自己并肩作战的同袍。
(你们还"活"着吗?)

人不能"闲"太久。太久就会被引诱"犯罪"。
但想起那些繁琐的事，就会马上打消这样的念头。
想到我的学生天使般的容颜突然都变成了魔鬼的脸，
想到堆积如山的作业，怎么改都改不完。
想到主任的话:作文批改要有眉批、总评、针对训练目标给评语......(下删50字)
[难道我这几年的作文都白改了?]
想到很多不知所谓的政策，毫无意义的琐事。
不想做又不能不做的事，让我非常痛苦。
想到那些飞过来又挡不了的明枪暗箭，
何必把整个教育界搞得乌烟瘴气?
为了五斗米折腰，算了吧。

为什么要把自己搞得惨兮兮的?
这么辛苦，病倒了，人家也只是说:你最好快点好起来，不然学生看见你这个样子......(下删30字)
"这个样子"又怎样?生病又不是我愿意的。你喜欢就让你病。
我又不是林黛玉，不可能病得像个美女。
生病的样子本来就不好，可能你可以病得很美，听说你有个"白雪公主"的绰号。
如果你真是这样还过得去，可惜你连bimbo都不是。EQ和IQ都那么低，
真不明白谁让你在这个圈子里混这么久。

算了，还是停笔吧。
再写下去就真的是犯贱。

猜心

做母亲的必须学会的一件事。
孩子不会说、不想说、不知道怎么说的时候，
你都要知道他们想说的究竟是什么。

这几个晚上，大魔头在夜里总是睡不好，
一直发出"哼 哼 哼"的声音，
有时候会像是在发自己脾气，气得踢脚。
总是翻来覆去睡不好。

夜里的对话总是这样:

我:宝贝，什么事情?
魔头:哼......
我:什么事情?跟妈妈讲什么事情......
魔头:哼.......
我:要奶奶?(nei nei)
魔头:......
我:是不是痒痒?(常被蚊子叮，总是吵着要搽油)
魔头:哼......
我:肚子痛?
魔头:哼......

[重复同样的问题3次]

最后，

我:什么事情?跟妈妈讲什么事情......
魔头:哼.......
我:要奶奶?(nei nei)
魔头:(点头)

------------------------------------
有时候真的没有耐性和她进行这么久的一问一答。
对她大吼一声后，她有时会乖乖趴着继续睡觉，
有时候就放声大哭，一副很委屈的样子。

-----------------------------------

最近因为不用上班，所以让她睡到自然醒。
但是她自然醒的时间已经从早上8点变成9点。
很多时候若我9点不叫醒她，她便继续睡下去。
这种睡觉的基因可能会遗传吧?
她老爸也有这种被睡虫缠身的问题。

本着一颗慈母心，想让她有更充足的睡眠，
谁知道好像害了她。晚上有失眠的迹象。
有时候在房里走来走去，唱歌，学学校老师的对话等
一两个钟头还无法入睡。有时候她会拿抱枕遮盖眼睛。
学校老师说她中午也睡不着。
看来我要让她更有规律的生活了。
就从睡觉开始吧。早上8点一定要起身。
就算我不用上班也该如此。
不然"慈母多败儿"这句话真要应验在我身上了。

trying to be teacher

I downloaded some videos from handphone to computer. One of them is a short clip of my big girl trying to teach my small girl how to read the cards. But she is not a very good teacher because my small girl is not paying attention and most serious thing is she teach the wrong things...haha....she anyhow pick one card and anyhow associate one word with the card.

bottle tree village

yesterday we went to bottle tree village. The one in North side.

look at my face

Look at my face! I am smiling but I still have a drop of tear on my cheek.
My girl was "reading" the ikea catalogue, we want to go elsewhere already. And she refused to move. We pretend to walk away. She got angry and cry loud loud. She was angry because we did not wait for her to finish flipping all the pages in the catalouge.

More fun

Ikea AGAIN

I hope my girl will not have the wrong impression that she can go Ikea to play every night.

Happy Birthday!

Today is the actual birthday of my small girl. She was born on last year April fool's day.

Though she is so much unmanageable than my big girl, I am very thankful that she is healthy. There is nothing more important than health. I hope she will gorw up to be a happy girl.
