I decide to bathe her only when she come bk, as i dun wan to give the teachers more problem. she needs to keep the arm dry, so have to use plastic sheet to wrap up the arm b4 bathing.

san san fractured arm
my san san fell from playground yesterday. about 1m high place.The teachers thought its not serious as no swollen and she can still lift her hand, so thought nothing much. Din phone me about it. That was in the morning. Evening time, my hubby fetch her. and he said she still looks ok. just a bit quiet. Then when I went over to in law house at abt 7pm, san san's arm was a bit swollen and she din use her right hand at all. just touching it will make her scream. it was so painful for her. couldn't move her hand. hubby went for urgent meeting and was back late. the clinics were closed and even chinese docs were closed. So we decided to go KKH. at least they specialize in children's problem.
The wait at KKH yesterday night was ok. The experience was quite good,as compare what I heard from others.We sent leng leng to jurong first b4 taking san san to kkh. She had xray and a bit of fractured arm. so now in cast and bandge. will probably take abt 1 mth to heal. The doc say the broken part will heal back ownself as kids generally heals better.
Today both monsters stay at jurong. Tonite then we will return back to yishun. And tomorrow afternoon, ah san is going to celebrate her 3 year old bday in school with a fratured arm...what a memorable bday for her..haha.

favourtism
Maybe I am guilty of that.
But mine is not really consistent.
Whoever made me angry, whether its monster 1 or monster 2,
I will be angry the same.
Whoever that makes me happy by being obedient,
I will show more tlc.
yesterday nite, at in law's house. My big girl was cutting something using scissors. And san san was doing puzzle. san san dun know how to do, so she ask big monster to help her. then big monster refused to help. Then san san cry, scream, yell. That was very very loud. I wanted to take the cane and cane both of them. But decided to let my in laws handle the way they want to since it happened in their house.
Then big monster still refused to help and san san keep crying. So i scolded big monster for not helping her younger sister, which is one of the expectation I expect from her being an elder sister.
She went over to help reluntantly and started to yell at san san, asking her to do the puzzle herself. Then she started crying also.By now ah san stop crying, as big monster already went over to her side to help. Now its big monster cry.
My FIL open the fridge, take out a sweet and give to big monster, asking her not to cry. When san san saw the sweet, she stretch out her hand wanted to take, but FIL take his hand away from her and pass it to big monster. san san pause for a about 5-6 seconds, I already forsee a volcano eruption. And true enough, after that few seconds, san san exploded and cry even louder than b4.
I am actually very upset. Why is it that the elder one always the one being favoured? Yes, san san may be very unmanageable and unpredictable, but she is still small. when big monster was that small, she was very cranky as well.I am glad that my parents dun practise favourtism and i am most thankful that I have a brother who take so good care of me from young.I am also secretly glad that I did not give birth to a boy. If not I'm sure under that kind of "traditional" thinking, the "eldest", the "heir" type of mentality, the child is going to be completely spolit by the old folks.
I immediately told big monster to split that sweet into half and give meimei half, if not she cannot eat that also. Then my MIL went to find some more sweets, wannted to give san san. Then big monsters saw the new sweets, she pass the one FIL give her to meimei. But sansan threw it on the floor.
Please dun think that a 3 year old cannot think or analyse. She can also sense the "unfairness" in treatment. and it may leads to her trying to get more attention in a negative way.
But leave it to them. I dun want to appear to be a "bad person" doing bad things. In my own house, I will definitely punished both. But there, they cannot stand the way we punished kids, so just leave to them. But really hope they can be more fair in treatment.
But the image of the hand that pull away from sansan left too big an impact on me. I keep visualizing my FIL's hand moving away. The deliberate attempt to prevent the sweet from being taken away by san san. As a mother, I left sad for my san san. The image was so vivid that after one day, its still so crystal clear. I hope my san san will not remember the hand that pull away from her. I hope she will not feel the same way i feel. I want my san san to be happy.

happy day
Yesterday leng leng finished "primary one" of the yamaha JMC. she choose a simple song to play. The rest of the classmates are very good, they played quite difficult songs, which require using of left and right hands. My girl cannot do that, and her confidence level is low.
Ah san celebrate her bday also. bought the same design cake every year.but seems to get sick of the same longan and peach cake from prima deli. Next week friday, sansan will have her actual bday celebration in her childcare with classmates. That will be a 2kg barney cake.
The next bday coming up will be june june 1 year old bday. will buy a different cake this time, if not all get sick of eating the same cake.
Yesterday evening, we went peek a boo playground collect leng leng's prize. And the girls played there for about 1.5hr. They are very timid as compared to other kids. They only dare to climb up to the 2nd floor, and then take the same staircase down. din played with the rest of the things there. They busy help to "clear" the place by collecting the balls on the floor and put back original place. so they actually doing all the housekeeping work.haha..waste my money.Pay 28 bucks for them to do housekeeping work at the playground. The rest of the kids busy messing up the place and they busy picking up all the balls and put back.But they enjoyed doing that.

how japanese educate the children on nuclear issue
This Youtube video is very interesting. Japanese are indeed very creative people. And the way they educate their young is also very innovative. If only our chinese language teaching can also be a little bit more creative.......
It not that we cannot be creative, but as long as the exam format is still so rigid, there is minimum we can do...

colouring contest
Today I received an sms which inform me that leng leng's colouring came up 1st for her category 3-4 years old.
A surprise. I just thought bringing her to colour as she likes colouring recently. Din expect she can actually win something for herself.
She will be delighted as she can now go to the peek a boo playground for about 8 times FOC. And also a sationery hamper worth 80 bucks. And a trial globalart lesson.
I think she will be very happy. especially can go to the playground.
She used to colour so ugly. Now she can really colour nice nice. She actually dun colour as neat as others. But i think her work capture the attention of the judges because of the multi colours she used. Other kids colour one thing with one colour, but she got a habit of using as many colours as she like on one object. maybe this is why she win?
tomorrow
Tomorrow hubby is coming back....finally....after 2.5 weeks.
seems like a very long time.
my san san yesterday nite got a donald duck voice....
this morning still donald duck voice.
runny nose still not cured yet.
and still got cough and phelgm because of the runny nose mucus which went down the throat.

lousy cab driver driving skills
Today when take cab to jurong, 5 mins b4 reaching destination, sansan puked.
Luckily I got prepare plastic bag, quickly collect the puke puke. And didn't dirty cab and her clothes.
I already told the cab driver not to drive too fast and drive smoothly. Seems that he dun know how to do it. Maybe he too use to accelerate and brake very often, end up not smooth the journey. sansan cannot take it. B4 she puke, she even yell out“不要开快快！”. But no use, already going to puke.

PV at chongfu
The primary school phone me about the parent volunteer matter already. In mid april, thre will be a meeting session. After that I think the PV thing will start. Hope can clear the hours by this year. Next yr I may not be free if I go back sch to teach.
And have not really decide whether to let my girl go chongfu or not. Actually pei chun is still a better choice if not because of the distance problem.But peichun dun have to do PV as can go in directly without balloting. So to be safe, will do PV at chongfu. If decide not to go still ok. see how...2 more years to go....

同情心
4岁半的女儿很有同情心。
这点让我感到欣慰。
但是我却无法很好地向她解释什么是地震和海啸。
因为要对一个只有4岁半的小孩讲这些灾难，他们很难明白。
对他们来说就是“谁玩火？”或“谁玩水？”
该怎么说才好呢？
但是看她那么专注看电视新闻画面，
看她那么关心曾经去过的日本和米老鼠的家，
庆幸她是懂得关心人的孩子。
我的小孩也成长了。

加油!
遭灾难重创的日本,加油吧!
日本人面对危机时的冷静与团结精神,值得我们学习。
其实用本地水灾和日本海啸做比较，要说明的只是一种处理危机的精神态度。
新加坡人真的非常欠缺。不要再小题大作了好吗？该反省时就反省吧，
承认自己缺乏素质，不要总是依赖政府解决问题。
自己成长吧，新加坡人，别让自己变得更可笑！
看到日本灾民在最艰难时刻还能井然有序排队取水和救济品，
我想这是新加坡人做不到的。
看看nex新图书馆开幕那天抢书状况就知道了。
当然，还是可以说是两件完全不同的事。但是。。。。。。
我要说的只是一种精神，一种态度。
倘若有一天我们做到了，
地铁车厢外就不会再出现人挤人的画面了。
现在的日本人，他们的文化素质，他们的自律和责任感，
我们望尘莫及。
在灾难面前，不论是谁都会变得渺小。
此刻，希望大家不分国籍、种族和宗教，
一起祈祷。。。。。。
为处于水深火热的灾民，为世界各地挣扎求存的人，
送上最真诚的祝福。
大家一起加油！

cab phobia
san san had overcome the fear of taking cabs. She has taken 3 times without puking. I manage to convince her taking cab by giving her a small piece of pandan cake in a plastic bag, which she hold in her hand while sitting in the cab.
Then once I go up the cab, I ask the driver not to drive too fast. And to drive smoothly, dun accelerate and brake so often.
So these few trips all ok.

吵架
这几天的报章上都有两位文人吵架的新闻。看了几天，心里非常郁闷。
我不喜欢。因为这样破坏了“文人”在我心中的形象。
其实我是有自己偏向的一方，但是太多的虚实难辨。
究竟是哪里出了问题？哪个人的话有问题？有人说谎吗？谁在说谎？
我不喜欢看这样的报道，因为以我的个性，我就是要知道什么是真相，而真相又偏偏越来越模糊。
其实人与人吵架，有时候可能是因为心情。或许心情好时，碰到同样的人，同样的事，一切就没问题。
而心情不好时，碰到什么好事，都有可能变成不顺心的事。
我看了第一篇报道后，第一个印象就是，有没有可能，那天就因为误听了一句话，而引起这个风波？
“A Dr Tan",有没有可能是“er.....Dr Tan"？
有时候人在不确定对方是谁，或看不清楚，或要引起对方注意时，可能会用一种迟疑，不太确定的方式说。
可能是这样吗？
我不知道，只希望这件事很快就平息。
真的不希望有人说谎，因为这样会再一次破坏“文人”在我心中的形象。

今天才知道原来脸书还有很有趣的名称。叫什么？
“非死不可”。哇！好绝！
其它名称没什么特别，不就是“脸簿”，“面簿”，“面子书”等。
叫“非死不可”很好。在脸书上乱说话，真的就“非死不可”，太贴切了。

tuesday 疯狂星期二
这是到目前为止，我最喜欢的绘本。
超有意思的。
疯狂的星期二。原本是英文的绘本，但中文版的也不赖。
David Wiesner的Tuesday.
特别喜欢那种带有一点诡异有有点趣味的绘本。
让人眼前一亮，带来惊喜。
因为看了一本关于阅读绘本的书，所以喜欢上绘本。
这本疯狂星期二也是书中介绍的一本好绘本。
如果是以前的我，一定只是翻翻就算看完，
现在我会慢慢的欣赏，思考及体会绘本作家处理文字与图案及排版方面的用意和用心。
像这本绘本，有一页有两只青蛙躲在云后，我竟然一直没发现，看了教我如何阅读绘本的书后才恍然大悟。
与女儿分享这本从图书馆借来的绘本，大女儿也没发现躲在云端的青蛙，后来我告诉她，她十分惊奇。
感觉到她也很喜欢这本书。
最后第二页，如果没有细看，一定猜不到最后一页猪飞起来的结局。
但最后第二页的猪尾巴已经给了线索。
看绘本，一定要很用心看细节，很有意思。
只是觉得原版的绘本太贵了，舍不得买。
家里的书又多到像个小型图书馆，不敢再买。
但是这样好的绘本确实值得收藏。
真是糟透了，看到书就想买的毛病一直改不掉。
colouring
My big girl now like colouring alot and can colour better. So i think the correct age to do colouring should be 4.5 years old. B4 that they just anyhow colour.
Now she actually enjoyed colouring.
Now she actually enjoyed colouring.

星期三
明天是星期三。
不在规范的环境下工作的每一天都是星期三，
但也可以是星期一，说是星期二也不无不可。
因为每一天都差不多。
平均每天只正式工作几个小时，
其它时间都花在思考、回忆、温习。。。。。。
还有家里琐事，怎么整理都还看不顺眼的房间。
除了乱，还是乱。。。。。。
什么时候可以有摆放整齐的东西？
什么时候可以有焕然一新的感觉？
很想写点东西，
但觉得驾驭文字的功力大大不如前。。。。。。
每一天，不管是星期几，都要好好过。
每过一天，都要感恩，因为每一天都可能是最后一天。
去年的死里逃生让我领悟了许多。。。。。。
不要想太遥远的事，重要的是活好现在，活在当下。
只有现在走好，才能继续走下去。
才能继续走好。

place others above self
Alot of things, we should not be too自我.
If we see ourselves as the main character in life, and everyone should revolve around us, then we are wrong.
Things should not be taken for granted.
No doubt ownself is important. We should respect ourselves 1st b4 we learn to respect others.
But the care and compassion part is something that should not be missing in life.
I do not want my kids to grow up to be self centred people who only think for themselves. I want them to have a heart, to feel for people.
Alot of people who are self centred, are due to their upbringing.
I have to keep reminding myself that I want my kids to learn to be considerate to others and learn to think from other's point of view.
I teach them to share their seat on bus and mrt and if possible give their seats up to the needy. How do I showed it to them? I stand while they sit, and when the seat beside them is empty, I do not go over to sit, even though they ask me to. But I will tell them the seat should be given to the people who need it more. She should be satisfied with me standing beside her. I do not need to sit with her.
And when waiting for mrt, I always tell her to let people come out b4 going into the train. And when going supermarket, I always tell her not to stand at the entrance or door and block other people's way. Have to think of others and be considerate. If I tell her do not stand at the door, people will knock you down, it become placing herself b4 others, and she will always think she is the biggest in the world. I must let her think in the other way. Do not stand at the door, becoz you are blocking others. You are causing incovenience to others.
I hope she will become a caring, considerate person in future. Not a self centred one and not one who always think of herself 1st.

mosquitoes
recently I see mosquitoes in the house again. Sometimes 1 flying, sometimes 2 flying. And i manage to hit 1 the other day. This morning I hit another one. And now while I am typing, I saw another one flying pass. And the speed is very fast, I dun think I can hit it. probably I need to use spray. Will hunt for it later. Must make sure no mozzies in the house.
Scare of dengue and also my girls' skin are bad, esp san san. a small mozzie bite can end up into a bleeding wound due to scratching.

expert reading
reading english from a chinese book. And if that's translation, its all wrong...haha..pretending to read.
bubble tea using meiji milk
seldom see bubble tea using this. most of the time they use powder. So this shop seems quite unique. But the bubbles taste so so only. In bugis, near guan yin temple.
I normally visit the temple, then will go to this shop to order one bubble milk tea.
yao lan stunt
my yee june can now turn over in yao lan when she wakes up. Last time my cousin weijie when my mum babysit him, can also do that. He can even sit in the yao lan and pop his head our to see.Then he fell down from yaolan..haha
Now yee june is learning to do stunts in yao lan also. She is bolder than her sisters. Ah san last time dun do that. When she wakes up, she will only lie there and wait for pple to carry her out. yee june is a more mischievious one.

fengshui
do you believe in fengshui? recently I have a growing interest in this area. If u ask me if I believe in it, I will say yes. though not very scientific, but alot of it has got logic. When things are not going well, there is no harm believing it and see if it helps to change certain things. When things are bad enough, it can only be better.So no harm trying.
driving
I have tried driving a few times with hubby sitting beside in car. But still not confident to drive alone. and better dun try also, if not if anything happened, touch wood, dun know who to call for help. If I can drive better, the next 2 weeks when hubby fly, I can take the car and drive the kids to Jurong, but I think better dun take the risk. The car will again not be used for 2.5 weeks. Very wasteful, but no choice.
I have to take Bus and Mrt. Even if I want to take cab also cannot. becoz my ah san do not want to take cab. She knows she will puke if she takes cab. She is very prone to motion sickness. even on jerky cars and buses, she will puke too. So I have to choose the correct transportation for her.

flying again
hubby is flying again. This coming friday. This time longer. A part of his MBA course. To USA. For about 2.5 weeks.
Hopefully after tis round, there will be less flying. Lucky I'm not working in school this year, if not I will be super stress with 2 monsters and work. Now only teaching a few tuitions, and more flexible timing. Hope to find some more tuitions. Hopefully after hubby's course, everything stablize down, I can have a bit of night tuition.
Actually I still enjoyed teaching alot. Its actually the school system that I cannot stand. And certain management pple up there, who make school an unbearable place, or exploit teachers.Giving unresonable and senseless work.
Teaching tuition makes job easier but I dun get to see alot of work done by students, compo also one piece. Sometimes I enjoyed marking those funni essays my students wrote when taught in class. Now only get to see very limited pieces of work. Maybe teaching in sch is more fun, but teaching tuition is definitely less stressful.

chinese medicine
Today I brought ah san to yu ren sheng to see chinese doc. sembawang branch. She had eaten quite alot of western medicine starting last week. anti biotic also. But still alot of phelgm inside. So i thought of bringing her to tiao2 her body, and make her immune system strong. Most impt is get rid of the phelgm. She got 1 week of medicine. Tomorrow, I will be bring the big monster there as she just finish her last packet of yu rensheng med just now. still not fully recover yet, Will go for another round to make sure she is all well.
I think chinese med is more mild than western ones. So will not harm the body too much.

wave bye bye
Yee june now can wave bye bye to people. She also know how to stretch her hands out if she wants pple to carry her. And if she do not want, she will turn body away.
no teeth
My yee june at 8th mth is still toothless. not a single teeth. And she just start to eat rice cereal not too long ago. B4 that, she rejected it, only drink milk. Now she can eat a bit of food.
She still cannot sit up herself. if we dun support her, she will collapse down. But she can crawl very fast. I think if she go baby crawling contest, she will win a prize. She is much more cheeky than her sisters. very itchy fingers. When she see new things, esp paper or plastic, she will crawl very fast towards it,and even if she cannot get the thing, she will try all means, to the extent of getting her whole face red from hitting the wall. Once my brother lift the remote control high up, she even try to crawl up my brother's body to get the remote control.
A very mischeivious monster.
