Lucas is having a sibling

2011-10-10T13:27:00.003+08:00

Officially annoucing Lucas becoming gor gor loh!

I am 4 months and 7 days pregnant and both bei and me are extremely happy. Not sure about the gender yet as baby didnt want to reveal anything to us.... guess didi or meimei as long as baby is healthy, adorable, lovable will do.

Will be sleepless night again and back to the same cycle of waking up every 3 hrly and changing and washing every now and then...

Bei has been the best daddy and hubby, he strive hard to make our lifestyle better.

We have both aged, cross 30 everything seems to break down and more health problem arised. I pray so hard that we will be healthy forever so that we can stay by each other side and grow old together seeing each other "bo gei"...

I pray for more energy to be a supportive wife and be a obedient wife... hahah think at times i complaint and nag too much... haha but no matter what i think bei still loves me alot...

gosh, i am going to be mother of two but i am still behaving like a child myself... haha

Loving Lucas and Bei so much each day!

Thank GOD is Friday

2011-03-18T09:05:00.005+08:00

My babylicious diaper cake business has kick start since Lucas was born but till date I have only sold ard 15 diaper cakes and is all selling to close friends SO can't really earn much from there... haha... but i still enjoy every single cake i created from Diaper and babies clothing... haiz, hoepfully I can set up a shop just doing such handy craft!

I WANT TO BE.....

2011-03-11T16:52:00.004+08:00

SAHM with no worries and always HAPPY

I wanna watch lucas grow up every single second....
I wanna put him to bed everytime he feels sleepy....
I wanna be the first to comfort him when he crys....
I want LUCAS to be always by my side....
I don't want to see his unhappy face when i send him to nanny every morning....
I wish everyday was weekends and Weekdays never comes.....
NOW that I am in office I am missing him badly....

BUT not now or not any time soon....

SO

I am counting every single day/hour/minutes/seconds of blessings that I have Lucas and Ah bei in my life.... for now I know and I thank GOD that they are healthy and HAPPY with me.....

GOD take away my envious heart, teach me to be CONTENDED and be thankful....and DRAW me CLOSER to YOU!

Counting Blessings and Worries...

2011-03-11T16:02:00.003+08:00

This is for my Ah Bei....

如果你有吃穿住，你已比世上75%的人富有。如果你有存款，钱包有现金，还有小零钱，你已是世上最富有的8%了。如果你早上起床，没病没灾，你已经比活不过这周的100万人幸福多了。如果你从没经历战乱、牢狱、酷刑、饥荒，你比正身处其中的5亿人幸福多了。我们在生活中大可少一些抱怨了。

Turning another year older in 2011 and i have live 1/3 of my life away already... ageing makes me feel alittle scare of pre mature death.... there is so much "what if"...
I have not settle so much of my life yet and what if something happens and there is no more sally! What will happen to my ah bei and Lucas and momo?

Was talking to ah bei one day about pre mature death...
Sal: b, will u re marry again if i am gone?
Ah Bei: NO
Sal: I think u pls re marry cos I think u need companionship.... but pls find someone who love u and lucas and is willing to be with u for bitter or sweet...
Ah bei: I say NO to marriage but didnt say i wont look for another or MANY other women ma... where got no companion.... haahaa...
Sal: @#*& u think u look like "Liu De Hua" huh! u no money plus u got Lucas who wants u?!?!
Ah Bei: U leh? Will u remarry?
Sal: Hmmm... I think I will but again maybe not cos what if the man dun like Lucas... Real parents love is unconditional but a step dad wont love lucas 100%... haiz... pls dun die on me 1st... we die together ok... but LUCAS how? like that cannot die... must stay for him... Haahaha

SIAO i think too much already

OFFICALLY I only work on MONDAY, WED and FRIDAY... the rest of the day is LUCAS day!

Hungry Vs FAT

2010-12-02T12:51:00.003+08:00

hahaha.... I am a FAT SHORT PENGUIN!

SO WHAT?

Have been hungry almost everytime but cant eat much when comes to meal time... wonder if there is a big worm inside me?

slimming down Vs Eat and be FAT?

I rather EAT.... hahaha....

Bei says I am old liao and not attractive liao.... THAT's SAD cos I just want to be pretty in just his eyes anyone else says i am old, ugly or fat or horrible is perfectly fine for me cos I dont need them to like me... hahaha... BUT coming from bei I am UPSET :(

Bei says he is joking but he always look at young slim sexy char bos leh!

Gave birth liao can hv excuse to be ugly meh? I dun think so.... but is rather difficult stay pretty with no effort put in.... with Lucas crying while I doll up myself is not easy.... so at times i gave up being pretty (ehh... cannot use pretty, say pretty i want to vomit myself).... haha... just for Lucas sake... SO bei pls just pretend that I am always your MOST pretty woman in ur life and every other day okie....

Okie u can see Charbos but not giving comments and comparing them with me okie... they are young and not married so not fair to compare OKIE....

Bei still look appealing and sexy to me everyday and he is my hero and my life and my everything....

Bei, pls stay healthy and sexy just for me and Lucas okie...

Love u bei and Lucas and Snowball

Thank God everyday for hving bei and lucas healthy and happy :)

The corporate world

2010-10-28T09:22:00.002+08:00

Corporate world is the real world

Come on' face the fact baby!

This is what I always tell bei....

the world you are in now is the real world....

ur superior will sweet talk you if u r a good worker...

ur superior will complaint to you about the bosses....

BUT

all superior are just 2 face people by choice or without....

they are just the sandwich tier workers stuck in btw bosses and subordinates....

they will be giving you promises about pay raise and bonus...

when they face the real boss they will be giving the head start how to cut cost and lower your salary....

HAHAHA....

Welcome to the real world baby!

Being in the corporate world for my pass 10years (wah, shit i am damm so old oredy!) I have seen and experience good and bad superior and bosses.... we just have to wear fake mask to work if you dont like your job or ur bosses! Hahaha...

Was chatting with someone from the management level earlier and she was talking about her subordinates using up all her annual leave and MCs... She asks " shld I get her to leave or let her stay till CNY?" is a tough answer actually.... she is old and helpless and she needs the money to maintain her family yet she is not an efficient worker.... if the company keeps her is purly for compassionate reason but then again haiz....

CONCLUSION:

HAIZ, I wish i can be a tai tai soon and stay home be a good houseFLY and good Milk mummy....

I promise to do all the housework...

iron all bei clothes....

provide XXX for bei... Hahaha...

cook for family....

milk for Lucas....

and importantly stay pretty and chio looking for ah bei....

Aunty?? Ehh... i am not sure i am or not BUT i am putting effort still to doll up myself.... so maybe not lah hor???

Melon going to be ONE

2010-10-28T08:59:00.003+08:00

Lucas is going to be ONE in another 21 days....

Words Lucas murmured ard:

mama (mixed up mummy and mam mam means eateat)

Papa

Ah Ma (he will shout so loudly when calling Ah Ma)

bai bai (bye bye)

Lucas can really say "bai Bai" and wave his hands whenever he leaves ah ma's place... he loves going to ah ma place cos there is 3 other kids at ah ma house playing with him.... but everytime after he is back home, he will be looking so lonely and upset cos got so many toys but nobody to play with :( Haiz makes me want to hv 2nd melon just for Lucas....

Lucas is learning how to walk now but he has collected so many "Baruku" for learning to stand before he can walk... he just had a fall right in fornt of me and ah ma last night and he cried so hard and loud after he fell!

BUT something I love about it is that he will only want me to carry him after he fall..... hehehe... he knows i will sayang him and cuddle him so tightly until he stop crying...

Lucas appetite at 6mths comparing to current is so different...

@ 6mths:

whatever u give he will just swollow without complaint

he will finish 3 rice bowl of porridge

willing to wear a bib

@ Current

he will grumble and cry if he doesnt like it

will pretend to vomit to show that he dont want anymore!

he will only eat 1st bowl of porridge so fast that u cannot slow down if not he complaint

the 2nd bowl he will pretend to vomit

the 3rd bowl he will be crying and pushing everything that comes near his mouth

baby at this age is really smart....

he will cry if u put a bib ard him...

As for mummy and daddy.... before and after we are always still so tired.... how we both wish I can sleep for 1 whole day without any worries......

My 2 man in life

2010-10-20T17:20:00.003+08:00

I miss those days with bei alone.....

for my melon we hv give up many "couple time" or even "me time"...

and i wondered.....

when will i hv another movie with bei or a holiday with bei again....

used to laugh abt people who cant do much things when they started to hv babies...

now i think i am in this situation then i realise is really hard to let go of taking care of Lucas.....

Reason or rather we cant bear to leave Lucas with "someone/anyone":

will lucas be sick ?
can that someone handle lucas?
hv lucas eaten?
can lucas sleep?
will we bother people too much?

Was chatting with Bei the other day and we hv 2nd tots about hving 2nd little melon.... haiz, is a JOY but cant we cope physically and financially?

Maybe ask us again when Lucas is 3 years old....

I am loving my 2 man very much and so much more everyday passes by....

bei has been a great father and a great husband (minus off the nagging part)...

I hope Lucas will have sibling (no "s") but not so soon... will see if mummy and daddy can cope physically/metally/financially :)

Love you alot bei and my melon lucas

seeing u guys soon :)

Selfish? Over Protective? or this is JUST Motherhood?

2010-10-05T09:36:00.003+08:00

MOTHERHOOD!

SORRY but I am rather pissed, upset and frastrated with friends and people around me who don't or have not experience motherhood yet.....

Why do people or I would rather say is friends whom I know for so many years dont have the basic courtesy to tell me that they are sick/unwell/recovering BUT not fully well yet!

Is really HEARTPAIN to see Lucas falling SICK

Not enough sleep or rest is common for me and bei already, we understand and know this is parenthood and giving up rest time for Lucas is neccessary and we are all willing to do so BUT pls pls pls friends just pls go far far away from us if u are sick!

Call me over protective or sensitive BUT u will never understand till u become a mother yourself!

Have U or rather maybe in the near future see your child:

shiver and cry until no voice when U give him a neubuliser.....
slim down within few days
use to eat 2 full bowls of porridge but now cry after half bowl
cant sleep well

I HATE INCONSIDERATE PEOPLE

I am tired and frastrated... sorry if I have been rude but I just cant bear to see Lucas been sick....

How to make edible paint for my melon LUCAS

2010-10-05T09:05:00.003+08:00

Any plain flour, mix with water to liquid consistency and add beetroot juice for red, or pandan for green, and you'll get "edible paint" for baby to play.

Hvnt done that yet... but sounds fun and Lucas shld enjoy painting too....

LUCAS IS ONE sooooooon.... is great feeling that he is a big baby oredy... the love for LUCAS is just something I am not sure how to describe...

now i truly understand what is unconditional love

14 Jul 2010 at 0955hrs Goodbye Miki

2010-07-14T16:13:00.007+08:00

I have put Miki to sleep this morning at 955am on 14 Jul 2010. Her condition became very jialat yday. I went home after work yday and saw her lying motionless on the floor, usually she will be breathing very hard and still can move her head abit and able to drink milk with my assistance but yday she cant do anything at all.... her tougue is also not functioning and keep rolling back when i try to lift her up. when i stringe feed her to milk yday her tougue keep blocking her throat. Last night I couldnt sleep well, the whole night was a tortured to keep thinking about putting Miki to sleep the next day.....

It has been a month that she has suffered and I think she has been a strong gal.... she did try her best to be well and she was able to lift her own body up 2 weeks ago and could jump alittle but the 2nd stroke strike her again and made her really paralyzed and made her right eyes so damaged and hurt. Her right eyes was so blister and it started bleeding few days back..... feeding her everyday and night was a torture to my heart seeing her getting weaker and weaker by days and weeks.... it was really painful to see her suffer this way.... i been too heartless to let Miki suffered so long..... I guess I shld let her go today.... it wasnt an easy decision and i had to face it all alone by myself....

Today is the 4th visit to Doctor Dennis Choo at Mount Plesant Hospital, I went early at 830am as I wanted Miki to be his 1st patient. Walking to the counter the lady ask what happen to Miki today? It really took me awhile to raise my voice to tell her I am putting Miki to sleep.... these words that came out of my mouth just pierce thru my heart and i wish Miki wasnt ard to hear me saying this..... i feel so heartless.... her heart was still pumping and her left eye was still looking straight at me.... it really hurt like shit to say i wan to put Miki to sleep. The worst is to fill up a silly form asking how I wanted Miki to be cremented.... i got to decide how she was cremented and sign off that i agree with the decision made. How I wish My heart could have just stop for that moment for Miki.... I cried and cried while I finish writing and signing off the form. At the room I ask for a moment spend with Miki, I pray for her and I hope she will be happy in Heaven with God.... nurse came and insert a IV tubing on Miki left hand... Dr dennis came shortly and put Miki to sleep.... i shut Miki eyes but it could be shut off.... i kiss her on her forehead and told her I am sorry and I really love her.

Miki has been a great companion.... she will sit beside u everytime u come close to her.... i miss her big round eyes and I so miss her now.... i m so upset..... sorry i hv to write here cos i really need an outlet to cry n cry out loud....

Hubby didnt want to be there for Miki.... how can man be so heartless? I ask Andy this question, if I was Miki and before I die... will u be there for me? It was painful to see pets die.... and even more scary if one day my parents or someone close to me just die like that? I wish I didnt have emotion so I will never be able to feel upset and cry so badly.

Snowball is alone at home now and I wonder if he realise what's going on and where did Miki went? Will Snowball missed Miki? I cant bring myself to go thru the same thing for Snowball again..... is a painful decision and experience that I never want it at all anymore.....

Can hardly open my eyes cos i cried too hard....

Goodbye Miki, u will be missed by mummy and snowball always... and Lucas will miss u badly too....
14 JULY 2010 at 0955hrs for Miki my beloved gal..... I hope Miki did meet Jesus and is happy in Heaven.....

God Loves U my forever dearest Miki

Long term nursing care for my little Miki

2010-05-31T09:36:00.005+08:00

My Miki was limping (left leg) on thursday Morning and 1st thing I did was to ask Ah bei if he had beaten Miki and cause the injury......

Ah bei said: "Siao ah, I beat her for what... i will only beat ur stupid snowball....."

By night she couldnt move much but still able to eat and pee by herself.... I was so worried as she is already close to 10years old oredy....

The next morning which was a public holiday(Vesak Day), Miki was completely lying on the floor not moving and she had pee all over her.....

The only Vet which was open is only at Mount Pleasant!!!! I never like going to Mount Pleasant.... the Vet there is always very heartless! They will always recommend to put dogs to sleep and nothing else! I still remember few years back when snowball had his tail snapped off from a closing door and was bleeding very badly.... the vet at mt pleasant actually commended that snowball shld be put to sleep if his wound dun heal!!!!! He must be MAD! cos snowball is young and strong and still ALIVE now!

Had no choice but went to Mount Pleasant but was totally a different experience... Miki met gentle Dr Dennis Choi Kang (shld be a taiwanese).... he was gentle on Miki and super caring too...

DIAGNOSE: MIKI HAS A STROKE ATTACKED AND NEED LONG TERM NURSING CARE :(

28 May 2010

Day 1: She was still eating her normal solid biscuit and drinking water by herself... still able to poo and pee but refuse to wear diaper... completely no strength to stand up... I wash her up and blow dry her coat... Miki seems extermely upset with herself...

Day 2: She refuse to bite any of the biscuit and only wants stringe feed with water... soften her biscuit and hand feed her.... still able to poo and pee but refuse to wear diaper... by night fall she was able to lift her own body up but couldnt stand longer than 1 min....

Day 3: Miki refuse soften biscuit and I could only feed her milk.... honey and water.... Miki again pee on her own body again... I went closer to her and gave her a pat and told her is ok and she will recover soon...

Day 4: (Is a Monday, I had to go to work....) woke up super early today just to feed Miki Medicine and milk just before leaving for work... and hopefully her diaper wont fall off again before I am back.... by 7pm she shld be so so hungry...

hope that Miki will recover SOON......

Lucas on Solid - Meat

2010-05-26T11:40:00.002+08:00

Yes, my melon started his 1st meal (FISH) yesterday at Ah ma's house! Ah Ma prepare "gor hee" fish porriage for Lucas....
At first I was... Huh? He is only 6mths plus leh... why start fish so soon? But anyhow, Lucas started eating and he really loves fish... he glup down the whole bowl of fish porriage!

Andy's mum like to feed Lucas with things I dun think he shld start so soon.... I feel that is difficult communicating to Andy mum things I dun want Lucas to eat or drink or do....

Classic example:

when I use to breastfeed Lucas she will tell me is ok to feed FM and also give lotsa water.... I can never convince Ah ma that with breastmilk no water is needed! Haiz.....

haiz... yet still with a thankful heart

My Little Melon is growing!

2010-05-26T10:46:00.007+08:00

Days went by so so fast..... I was pregnant! Seems like this was only yday that Lucas was still inside me! Lucas is already 6 months and 9days old!

During Lucas's baby shower (Huijun my fren was carrying him)

This was 7 weeks at Dr Lim clinic, mummy needs to remove her stitch.... and I was so scared! Ask me again during that period I wont want a 2nd pregnancy! C-section was way too much suffering for me to bear!

This was Lucas's 9weeks and mummy me had a hard time handling Lucas by herself surviving on the 2nd week(aunty heng, my best confinement aunty went home)...

Question that went thru my mind:

1) y do babies cry so much?

2)Lucas can u tell mummy what u want and stop crying?

3) Why are u awake again? I tot u just had ur milk awhile ago?

4) Why do I have to suffer so much?

5) is breastfeeding so impt? (feel so abuse and used)

6) Why cant u suckle properly Lucas?

7) I need to sleep, can u pls just fall asleep soon?

8) pls grow up fast!

9) extremely frustrated with small little things....

10) my wrist is still in pain ever since Lucas is born! (and I wonder why)

Above all.... I am so blessed with a SUPER DUPER GREAT HUBBY "Ah Bei"

1) Daddy never failed (hmm... not true, once in awhile too tired)to wake up to feed U at night...

2) daddy love to wash up Lucas

3) daddy teach me how to clean up ur titi... (cos i dun hv those dangling balls... whahaha)

4) daddy knows how to change diaper very well

5) daddy can make Lucas sleep at night (better than mummy i must say)

6) daddy can bottle feed Lucas better than mummy too!!!! (even till now)....

7) daddy can really "tahan" mummy's sudden change of temper! (I remember I kept crying becos I am extremely stressed up and tired and my milk supply was super LOW...)

Lucas @ week 10... he smiles more often and has his little temper.... trying to flip but not successful....

We just started to understand and enjoy having Lucas ard.... now we fully understand... what is Parenthood is!!!!!

Lucas @ week 11 (was few days before CNY)...

Haha... bei says: Heng ah, we have Lucas to collect back some Angbao... not like last year give n give no returns.... Hahaha...

Mummy says: Lucas smile more okie, then people will give u more angbao... hahaha

Lucas @ 12weeks.... bought a CNY romper for Lucas at last minute shopping on the eve... guess Lucas can wear this for this year only....

Mummy is going back work right after CNY and have to put u to Aunty Nanny soon....

*Boo hoo hoo*, mummy cried so badly on the 1st day when u are at nanny's place!

And mummy started working and didnt hv much chance to take picture of Lucas growing up.... at times I wish I was a SAHM....

Lucas got himself another Godpapa, Godmama and Godgrandmama and papa... that's Quekpa, Quekma and Ah quek's mum love Lucas so much....

Quek Papa says: Must get lucas a hat.... this hat was Shernise hat and we borrowed it from her for 1 day while mummy went out to look for a more manly hat....

Quekpapa offer to look after U on one Sat evening so that mummy and daddy can
go partok and watch one movie! It was a good break but we miss Lucas so much.... wonder how many sms i have sent Quek n pea.... very nice of them :)

Quek's mum even cut hair for lucas and bath him before we pick him back :)

Mummy says: Lucas, when u grow up must remember Quekpapa, mama and Quek Ah Ma ya :)

Till date, I enjoy motherhood and I am so so in love with Lucas and of cos My Ah Bei!

Lucas love playing with daddy (bei love making funny noise and face at baby)

@ Mt Elizabeth hospital waiting for mummy me to finish check up.... hmm Ah bei use to accompany me into Dr Lim's room but now everything is for Lucas sake.... I always ask ah bei to repeat to me that he will place me 1st before anything....

Just yesterday bei scold me for talking so loudly on the phone with my dad and got Lucas woke up (cos ah bei got to cuddle Lucas for so long before he could sleep)... HAIZ, my son is too used to my loud voice he wont wake up becos i speak so LOUDLY.... Lucas just dun wan to sleep so early that's ALL.... I was so upset that bei shouted at me for making Lucas awake #%#**@ kns bei just forgotten to place me 1st anymore...

Last week we when out and i realise that bei left me walking behind while he carried Lucas walking so quickly.... wonder y man tend to forget how hard we women had to go thru labour n hving the baby.... haiz....

He was so little

And talking about bei cuddling Lucas to bed... haiz this has been a practice since Lucas is borned. Now he is so used to be carried around and cuddle to sleep and he refuse to be place in his cot to fall asleep and both me and bei have to carry Lucas most of the time now....

NOW baby Lucas is much bigger

Started to roll his eyes and checking out stuff ard him...

2009-11-10T16:26:00.000+08:00

Please Mom and Dad....

My hands are small. I don't mean to spill my milk.
My legs are short -please slow down so I can keep up.
Don't slap my hands when I touch something bright and pretty. I don't understand.
Please look at me when I talk to you. It lets me know you are really listening.
My feelings are tender -don't nag me all day. Let me make mistakes without feeling stupid.
Don't expect the bed I make or the picture I draw to be perfect. Just love me for trying.
Remember, I am a child, not a small adult. Sometimes I don't understand what you're saying. I love you so much. Please love me just for being myself, not just for the things I do.

RULES: Small tan in another room and Me and Big Tan in our own bedroom

Ok, got to stop here, Lucas is sitting on my pee bag again... Need to pee now... i am like running to toilet every 1 to 30mins... hate peeing at times...

Nanny means $$$

2009-10-24T00:13:00.002+08:00

Haiz, still sourcing badly for nanny...

Called a nanny just now just so nice she stays opp my block BUT....

I need her in feb and her grandchild is out by april... My question is what if both baby cry? she will definitely attend to her grandchild 1st and not my Lucas....
she talks abt $$$ ... says i got to pay her $600 per mth but once Lucas reach 9mths $$ must top up cos of eating solid food.... My question again, how do i noe if my $$ goes to buying lucas food or her grandchild's food?
Can she manage both babies?

Guess this nanny above is not an option again :(

2009-10-22T18:12:00.002+08:00

Hiak Hiak.... and i wonder why I do not have much cravings or pregnancy @#*#@...

Bei has more cravings and mood swings than me! Pack of sour plum given by miin and quan is also eaten by bei.... I gain weight and he gain weight too, wonder if i need to pass him my stretch marks lotion. Bei woke up everyday feeling so down and moody and will nag his whole journey to work.... if only he is really the person pregnant i guess that will be so GREAT... hehe :O)

Things I love about pregnancy:

I dont have menses cramp for 9 months... yooo hooo :P
I have bird nest to eat
dont hv to do housework
bei loves me like princess
have more excuse to get bei fetch me around to the door step
can avoid smokers with valid reason
everyone around me take care of me so much... feel so good leh...
i hv this very good gal fren "Michelle" she will always buy me breakfast EVERYDAY!

Things I dun enjoy during pregnancy:

Water retention (so badly that i swell like pig)
becoming uglier and rounder
cant hv raw and shell food
cant jump and run ard like mad
cant play with snowball n miki
cant wear HIGH HEELS (I miss my heels so badly :O( )
cant wear my pretty dress
panties keep rolling down to the bikini line cos tummy too big liao.... and i refuse to wear ah ma panties....
contipation (badly.... )

Overall i guess i love pregnancy still just because of LUCAS and AH Bei.... for both of them... anything for me to suffer is ok.... I love U guys so much....

Excitement? Not so.... but worries....

2009-10-21T14:44:00.003+08:00

Nanny or Maid? Some question that I am still asking myself? Haiz.... i hate the feeling of asking ard and getting many scary stories abt nanny and maid....

There is so many "IF ONLY" ideas in mind:

"IF ONLY" i dun hv to work and can take care of Lucas
"IF ONLY" my mum can help
"IF ONLY" bei's mum can help
"IF ONLY" baby dont cry and i can bring him to work
"IF ONLY" Lucas is pocket size I can pack him in pocket anywhere i go
"IF ONLY" there is no worries.....

Days are getting closer and I hv no single idea what is like when Lucas is born and if I can manage Lucas and after maternity how and who can help to look after lucas....
Excited or not? Guess I am more worried than excited now.... GOD, take away all my worries and send me guardian angel to help out all my worries....
I was chatting with Bei few days back and was saying.... must save more money, when is still just 2 of us only.. no money can still anyhow eat and stay home dun spend money.... BUT when Lucas comes along.... he hungry means must drink and eat and "IF" he is unwell means must see doctor and the PD is more expensive than adult doctor... the more i think of it the more worries I have now....

How I wish I have a GROWING MONEY PLANT AT HOME!

Nanny or maid?

2009-10-21T14:31:00.003+08:00

Interesting write up from "first time mama and papa blog"

Nanny
We all know that it will be great if our baby can be taken care either by ourselves, or someone who we can trust. Such as our parents and etc...

However at times, due to certain circumstances, we have no choice but to pass our baby to someone whom we don't know at all. So, if you are passing your baby to a nanny, here are some questions that you may want to ask before accepting the nanny.

You have to understand that some nannies are very picky, just like you as a parents. You may have your own sets of thinking and the nanny may think otherwise.

I think here are the top 10 questions to ask nanny:

Religion. Many nannies are Taoist. They will have figures at home or they will offer incense sticks and etc. in the morning. Can you accept that? If you can, do you allow your child to see them in action? If not, how?

Food. Have you started your child on solid food? If not, does the nanny agree with you? Many modern parents are into breast feeding or, feeding breast milk to their babies as long as possible. Some of us will wait for the baby to give us signal. Many nannies are under-informed in this area. Is she open minded enough to learn from you?
Weaning: When you start weaning your baby, what kind of food will the nanny prepare? Or once your baby has started on solid food, what kind of food will she prepare?

Vaccination: Have you vaccinated your baby? If not, does the nanny accept that? If she does, how is she going to ensure that your baby does not get infected by others? How about the nanny? Has vaccinated herself against some common diseases? Can you accept that? Also, after vaccination, what is she going to do to ensure your baby is well taken care of if your baby has fever? Some nannies prefer to give panadol first before the baby has fever. Either for prevention sake or, for convenient sake.

Breast feeding: If you fully breast feed baby, does the nanny is willing accept that? Especially if you are going to pass it to her before you break the routine? Some nanny recognize the toughness of taking care a fully breast feed baby.
Family: Who are the members who is going to help her to take care your baby? Her kids? Her hubby? What are the kids' age? If the kids are small and your baby has not get his or her vaccination, your baby will get sick easily. Any smoker in the house? Any elderly in the house? What is the state of health of the elderly?
Equipments: Does the nanny has the necessary equipments to sterilize your bottles? Or, what method do they use to clean your baby stuffs? Boiling water?
Education: Are you going to give the nanny the some dvds/vcds for your baby to watch? Is she or her willing to play the dvds/vcds according to your schedule?
Your family members: Does she allow your family members to visit your baby at her place? Some nannies do not like it. And some family members love to sit at the nanny's house to watch them.

Fees: While, if everything is agreed upon, here's another important question. If you found your nanny through agent, you have to ask the agent upfront. What's the agent fee? Before you get the agent to start searching for you. Let's say he found it, ask him what's the nanny fee? How about solid food? How much does she charge? Also, how much does she charge if you need her to take care of your baby during off duty hours? For example, weekends?

Maid (Indo or Fil)?
Do you need a maid?
When the little one arrives, sometimes it is good to have an extra helping hand. However, do you really need one? This is the advice from a friend of mine. Her name is Emily Quek and she wrote this for everybody in a forum. So all credits go to her.

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

Fil or Indon - depends on your needs & preference. Then again, it's about generalisation only... does not necessarily mean 1 nationality better (or worse) than the other. Some pointers (bare in mind some are generalisations):

Indon:
1. Lower salary
2. More hardworking
3. Can take hardship
4. Keen learners (will pick up languages & learn new things)
5. Less likely to 'ask' for things or bargain
6. More willing to accept rules & regulations
7. Better cooks (cos Indon cooking methods more Asian than Fil)
8. Not as prideful & can accept reprimands
9. Not as alert or smart (keen to learn not = to fast learner)
10. Not as clean

Fil:
1. Higher salary
2. Will eat snake when they can (or if u prefer, work 'smart')
3. Not as able to take hardship (turn in early, wake up late, etc)
4. Think highly of themselves (hence, not as receptive to new things, may try to act smart)
5. Know their 'rights' & WILL ask for things or bargain
6. Tend to agree to rules & regulations on the surface, if they do not like it, may not follow lol then got lots to argue later on.
7. More used to using low fire to cook, so not as good a chef as Indons
8. Full of pride & may not take well to being told off (even if they are in the wrong!)
9. More alert & smart (sometimes too smart, so dare to argue, bargain, or DEMAND for things)
10. Supposedly cleaner.

These are just some generalisations. I'm sure there'll be people who can tell you that their Indon maid is very clean or their Fil maid cooks very well.

Then the diff between a brand new (raw) gal & an experienced one are:
1. BN mouldable, not 'infected' by bad habits (though need not mean they dun have any to start with).
2. BN must train from scratch (very tedious).
3. Exp ones can probably start work from day 1, just need to adjust to your preference... but some may be stubborn & stick to old ways too
4. Exp ones know what to expect, so may compare & bargain.
5. BN usually mean have to deal with a certain period of homesickness, esp Fil. Almost guranteed one. If they appear fine, something is definitely WRONG... hahaha..
6. Of course exp ones more expensive than BN ones

Agencies have different packages for girls of different nationalities, whether exp or BN & whether from home country or transfer.

From home country usually means they have existing loans which you probably have to pay up in advance for them (higher start up cost, but eventually deduct from their pay). Transfer should mean less or no more loan to shoulder, could mean just pay agent fee & bring girl home.

I think most important is to get a reliable & trustworthy agent. Bio data for girls are shared & passed around, so does not mean a pricey agency gets the best girls. More important to get a fair agent who understands your needs, so that they can find you the best match... & in times of need, they can counsel your maid for you.

But I always tell my friends (my agent tells me the same thing): think carefully whether you truely need a maid. If not, dun go through the hassle & trouble... if you do, you need to be aware of the possible pitfalls & know how to handle whatever might come out of it...

Just for Laugh....

Saw this from my friend's blog... think is really FUNNY... hehehe

If your father is a poor man,
it is your fate but,
if your father-in-law is a poor man,
it’s your stupidity.

Practice makes perfect…..
But nobody’s perfect……
so why practice?

The more you learn, the more you know,
The more you know, the more you forget
The more you forget, the less you know
So.. why learn.

A bus station is where a bus stops.
A train station is where a train stops.
On my desk, I have a work station….
what more can I say……..

Flying With Baby – Minus The Tears

2009-10-20T11:14:00.003+08:00

YES, we are going to PERTH again coming May 2010 BUT it will be without Lucas :O(
and i Wondered if I can stay apart from Lucas for 10 full days.... I miss holiday badly... feeling alittle guilty about booking flights even before the arrival of Lucas....Daddy says u will be ok alone in Singapore with ah ma... keeping my finger cross as we hv not told bei's mum about it yet...

Saw read up about flying with baby.... is interesting...

You don’t have to stop travelling once baby arrives. The keys to enjoying smooth air travel? Proper planning and staying calm.

What’s the best age for air travel?

Baby is never too young to travel, except for his first seven days. In fact, the younger baby is, the more low-maintenance he is.

What medication/immunisations does baby need?

Before international trips, allow four to six weeks to meet with your child’s doctor for advice about medications and immunisations. Keep a copy of your child’s vaccination records on your trip. Avoid giving baby sedatives on long flights as it can have the reverse effect. Sucking on a preferred drink can have the same soothing effect.

Plan-ahead strategies

1.When reserving your flight, say you’re travelling with an infant. Ask for a flight that’s not fully booked and get a front-row seat (for more leg room). Often, these seats are also near the toilets, so you can change baby’s diapers urgently.
2.Book a bassinette for baby to sleep in during the flight.
3.Arrive at the airport early to check in before the queue starts forming.
4.Look for flights that won’t upset your baby’s routine, like night flights or those that coincide with baby’s naptime.
5.If you’re changing planes, ask for a courtesy cart between gates.
What should I take in my hand-carry luggage?

Pack at least two weeks ahead and keep your list in a prominent spot. Choose a bag with a waterproof lining and wide shoulder straps. Keep baby happy onboard with these:
Bibs
Bottles
Bottle of water. Many parents take 1.5 litres of bottled water.
Pre-measured servings of infant formula. Most planes have formula onboard, but supply and brands are limited, so bring your own. Take more than you’ll need on the flight in case of delays.
Bottled baby food or boxed cereal
Feeding spoon
Face cloths (three)
Changing pack comprising five to eight disposable diapers (depending on flight duration), wet wipes, diaper changing cream, tissue, cotton wool and three zip-lock bags (for soiled clothes). This way, you don’t have to take your entire knapsack and baby into the tiny loo.
Two changes of shirt and pants (cotton separates is best for easy changing), in case of spills etc. They also help baby “layer up” if it gets too cold.
Baby wrap, for comfort, to keep warm or to swaddle smaller babies.
Pacifiers, to help soothe an upset baby.
A bag of treats like biscuits, toys or books to distract her. Recommended: anything shiny, mirrors, rattles, light-up musical toys and soft cuddlies.
Baby sling, for smaller babies. It also leaves your hands free for luggage.
A lightweight stroller.
Medicines, especially infant paracetamol for pain and fever relief. Also consider a colic treatment, saline nose drops for stuffy noses and teething gel.
Extra shirt or cardigan for yourself.
A muesli bar and some packed nuts. You may not get the chance to eat your airline meal.
A camera, so you can capture memorable travel moments with baby, especially if it’s her first flight.

In-flight tips

A baby is allowed to sit on your lap until she’s two years old. For long-haul flights, however, book a separate seat so you’ll both be more comfortable.
During landing and take-off, encourage her to have a drink or suck on a pacifier; swallowing relieves ear pressure at high altitudes.
If your baby gets upset, cuddle her and walk along the aisles – it will be less of a problem for baby and you, and other passengers.
If there are rows of spare seats on the flight, asked to be moved.

Which airlines are baby-friendly?
Families travelling with young children are usually invited to board the plane before other passengers, so you have easier access through the plane and time to settle your children in their seats. In general most airlines offer the following to help make travelling with baby easier:

Sky cots. These bassinets are for infants aged up to 12 months and weighing less than 10 kg to 14 kg (check with your airline) not occupying a seat. Available on request, these are fitted after take-off.
Changing table. Most aircrafts have toilets with a pull-down changing table.
Baby items like diapers, creams, powders, wipes, bibs, baby formula and food are available on request, but stock is limited.
If your infant has a separate seat, bring a car seat for her to sit in. But it must have its own built-in restraint system and be approved for use in motor vehicles.
Amenities kits. Many airlines give out kits containing things like talcum powder, wet wipes, bib and toy.
Baby stroller service. You can borrow one free-of -charge from the airport so you won’t have to carry a 10-kg baby and a hand-carry bag all over. Most airports offer this service, but supply is limited.
Twin travel. Inform the airline if you’re travelling alone with two infants, as special arrangements are required, like a child seat.

Miki is getting OLD

2009-10-19T19:05:00.007+08:00

My dog Miki is getting so OLD.... she start to scratch herself and cause her skin to bleed so much... end up i have to cone her this way.... poor Miki has to wear the cone for now...

(above is not Miki...)

Haiz, feeling so sad for both Snowball and Miki... i hardly hv the energy to play with them anymore.... sitting down playing with Snowball is not easy especially when he turns violent and starts to jump on me...

Snowball and Miki often gets beaten up by ah bei too for not pee-ing at the wrong spot and barking too much.... at times snowball fur will be wet in the morning cos bei use the mop to hit him....

haiz, think snowball is poor thing and bei also is poor thing now... cos bei needs to help me to clean my dog's poo poo and i know he hates it.... just becos i am so pregnant and cant bend now.. he is un"willing" to help out....

Bei recently ask me.... "can give ur dogs away? I really hate them.... "

I love dogs since young and I am now torned apart btw my dogs and bei.... and i foresee next time bei will use Lucas to send my dogs away... "keeping my finger cross and hope that wont happen"....

People always start giving away their dogs after the baby comes and that goes to my sister too... she gave miki to me after she had her baby.... I dont want that to happen to Snowball or Miki.... I still dun believe that if i have baby I cant have dogs.... i know Lucas will love Miki and Snowball just like i do.... so pls dun take snowball and miki away from me... snowball and miki will stay as long as they are still alive... and I pray that Miki and Snowball will live a strong and healthy life...

See, snowball is so adorable since young.... he is hugging my favourite teddy bear "pepper" to bed.... see his paws is so pinky....

Still remember.... during wedding, i made bei agree that "if he loves me, he must love my dogs" and he did agree with that.... bei, can u keep ur promise pls? Dont take my snowball and miki away pls....

Ah bei has been coughing so badly at night... raffles medical medicine did not work for him, he told me he needs stronger medicine. Bei and family only likes to go Dr Tan at AMK.... wonder if is really Dr Tan medicine that works or is the mind set that Dr Tan can cure him... hahaha... maybe bei should tell Insight to include Dr Tan under their panel of their company's doctor...

I was sick few weeks back, hving fever ... flu and cough... and now is ah bei turn... haiz, the weather is terrible...

So used to aircon after I am preggy, i suggested to bei that we should off aircon to sleep last night since he is sick and is not good to have aircon.... slept at 9plus without aircon, i woke up at 12mn ALL WET and smelly... could easily scoop my sweat out in between my boobs and my melon... WOKE bei up forgetting that he is sick... haha... ended up with aircon till 7am!!!

Haha, he always pretend to be sick so that he can take my drowsy medicine whenever i am sick..

Sal: B, why u are not going up to sleep yet....

Ah bei: I need to drink water, u go up to sleep 1st since u are sick...

Sal: Ok, u come up quick after u are done ok....

Ah bei: **grin** Ok, in awhile... (as i am walking up to the bedroom, bei will take my flu medicine)

(After 10mins...)

Ah bei: Ehh... u not drowsy ah? (bei's eyes getting smaller... and he smile)

Sal: Ooi... u eat my medicine again AH?

Ah bei: No la.... i feel abit flu also.... (smiling away...)

Sal: Kns....

but now he is really sick and the medicine is not working on him... Insight has made him work too hard... reportSsss after reportsSsss... guess is also the late night work that cause him to fall sick... I am so proud of u, ah bei... JIAYOU ba, Lucas will be proud of u too....

Even pray to God, "PLS RELEASE MY POO POO..." crying and sweating really like a pig..... went to the gynae the next day and was given a SUPER powerful medicine... after i took the medicine, poo poo was like tap water.... "thanked God for the creation of intelligent human that created such medicine"
I am weighting 53.5kg now at my 30weeks and 4 days prenancy and i looked rounder and uglier now... melon is heavy and cause me to have very painful backache :(

2009-08-17T09:36:00.010+08:00

Before I had my Melon....

Still the shortest among all but there was no tummy...
We could still stay out late.... and be crazy wanna be students...

NOW.... I look more like a SEALION...

Check out the melon in me....

Yes, I m out of shape.... this was taken 3 months ago... can imagine how big my Melon has develop since....

In FACT,

I am very happy that I finally hv this precious melon... it was not easy, bei and I planned it almost for 1 year and before we gave up... GOD gave us this melon seed... *winks* a melon that is a WELCOME to the family :)

Questions I always ask Ah bei:

1: Bei, I love you... do you love me? Can U say "I Love you to me everyday" (I always have this silly tots of... "wat if this is the last chance u can say "I Love you" to your spouse?)

WHEN WAS YOUR LAST TIME U said "I LOVE U" to your hubby? (me... EVERYDAY=)

2: Bei, if baby is out hor... I am still your number 1 leh... baby comes number 2...

(Bei ask me few days ago... "Ur daddy number 1 or I number 1?... hmm... of cos daddy la, he is my daddy and i love him alot leh...then u comes number 1.1 lah... cos i love u also!!! "Bei: OK, then u are my number 2 also!!!!" ..... Me: " NO!!!! Cannot, ok i give u number 0.9 then my dad comes number 1... u are 1 decimal point more than my daddy ok...") That's how silly I can be...

3: Bei, do i look sexy? U still like my sexy melon body? (Hahaha... )

4: Bei, I can see my own toes and also my little friend... can u help me to check if they are ok? (I even hv problem cutting my own toe nails... haha... )

5: Will I still have bird nest to drink every week after I gave birth? (Bei answered: Yes another type of bird nest is whiter but i need your help!! Hahaha... )

I really felt like a princess with melon at this moment of my life.... and i rank my ah bei 10 over 10 FULL MARKS for begin a SUPER nice hubby and melon to be daddy...

This little princess Charmaine is only 3years plus and she has been diagnosed with neuroblastoma (4th stage Cancer)... at her age i guess i was running around knowing nothing about what is cancer and what is pain and suffering... there are so much blessing in life that we never know how to cherish and appreciate....

I know God will be there for you :O)

"I pray that Daddy in heaven will take away this terrible monster from this brave strong gal... I pray for strength and painless therapy.. i pray for recovery for little charmaine.... pls heal this little gal and send all your pretty caring angel to her every moment to keep her well again... I pray that charmaine mummy will be strong and have no worries financially.... I pray for help from every source and by word of mouth..... i pray that Charmaine will fight this monster and be up again like any other children in the world.... Amen"

This song from Chris Tomlin describe how i feel at this present moment of my life...

There is an endless song

Echoes in my soul

I hear the music ring

And though the storms may come

I am holding on

To the rock I cling

How can I keep from singing Your praise

How can I ever say enough

How amazing is Your love

How can I keep from shouting Your name

I know I am loved by the King

And it makes my heart want to sing

I will lift my eyes

In the darkest night

For I know my Savior lives

YouKnowing You'll see me through

And sing the songs You give

I can sing in the troubled times

Sing when I win

I can sing when I lose my step

And fall down again

I can sing 'cause You pick me up

Sing 'cause You're there

I can sing 'cause You hear me, Lord

When I call to You in prayer

I can sing with my last breath

Sing for I know

That I'll sing with the angels

And the saints around the throne

Image of my Godson....

One Step At A Time Cover - Jordin Sparks

Peter is so COOL...

My Beauty Craz....

2008-09-27T17:26:00.010+08:00

Was talking to a galfren at work about age and getting old and then how can we stay pretty... and here i go... (realise that I start to grow really old so fast and my skin is not as nice anymore :(
ITEM no 1 : Water Mask from Laneige

(never have i spend so much when i was younger... used to wonder why women can spend $ on such stuff and there is not much result..... NOW, i believe it already, women is just like investment... we have to start young so that there is compounding effect of goodness.... Haha, so hopefully i am not too late.... )

WHY I choose this: Laneign is made for lazy me cos I can simply wear the mask to bed and wake up next day feel great about my lustrously revitalized skin the next day! ... haha... is crap or I am trying to deceived myself...

What LANEIGE says: Water Sleeping Pack Plus penetrates the skin immediately upon application; infusing it with a concentrated supply of moisture while you sleep.

Item No 2: Amino Acid Collagen (some japan product given by my sweet galfren)

(Haha, ask me again i oso never believe in such stuff till actually now... cos I havent really see the effect on me yet after 1 day of trying it.. Haha... and I went to pharmacy to check it out each pack cost ard $58 and can only last 1mth+.... wah, where on earth this was created? to make us women feel is a must to drink it so as to be beautiful for our hubby to drool and continue to love us and adore us!!!!! )

Why I choose this: CRAP... is free so by choice I just received gracefully from my sweet galfren... hehe.... after this pack if there is result i will still get it lah... but it will really hurt my pocket in order to stay short pretty and attractive for my ah bei (Hey, bei if you are reading pls understand my "Ku Xin" to stay pretty and chio for you.... :O)

What Meiji sayS: Is sugar free and is a type of amino acid that is essential for maintaining healthy skin. Amino Collagen is made from 100% low-molecular fish collagen (collagen peptide),which offers higher levels of absorption than pig-derived collagen and contains only 27 kcal.After purification, the selected ingredient is made into low-molecular collagen through our own enzyme processing. The transparency of the solution proves the purity!

ITEM no 3: BRAND’S® Iron + Vit B Complex with Essence of Chicken

(Hmmm, ok for this i believe alittle cos mummy always say tired drink abit of brand's will be ok liao.... so with that I bought it for my ah bei and at times for myself)

WHY I choose this: Cos is in tablets form and is easy to swollow and doenst taste of smelly chicken... Yucks i hate it when I was younger my mummy will force me to drink Brand's Chicken Essence... wah piangs the taste will still lingered in the mouth for awhile before it's really gone... oh ya and it taste like coffee if is in liquid form.... and i hate coffee... haha... Another reason why i choose this is becos is priced reasonably.... haha... and i think my ah bei needs such supplements

What's BRAND's Says: Helps you lead an energetic lifeIron aids in the transportation of oxygen in red blood cells. Vitamin B Complex (or "anaemic vitamin") contains Vitamins B6, B12 and folic acid(this is good for wanna be preggy me) , which are required for the production of haemoglobin. BRAND'S® Essence of Chicken increases iron absorption in our body. This powerful combination helps fight anaemia, reduces fatigue (MY AH BEI needs this) and replenishes lost blood (sounds like me... lost blood alot.. haha... ).

Item no 4: Anlene Milk (Low Lactose) High Calcium Non Fat Milk

(Seems like i am allergy to this milk... or rather milk in all... cos my tummy dont feel well after drinking milk.... Went to the super market that day and while choosing which Anlene I realise something ... I am old but I refuse to admit to it... Cos I bought For age 19+ years instead of the Mid 30+ range... Haha... )

WHY I choose Anlene: Cos good for bones ma.... and due to old age my bone start to be alittle mulfuction.... haha... I wake up here pain there pain... haiz.. is old age... wonder how many more years can both me and ah bei grow.....

What ANLENE says: Anlene is a new range of dairy products specially formulated for adults - to help maintain optimal bone strength.
It is 99% fat-free and tastes great.
Anlene has all the goodness of high calcium milk or yoghurt and is enriched with essential bone nutrients, which lock in with Phyto K.

Item No 5: Ocean Pure Evening Primerose

(Started to eat this cos my mummy, friends and colleague says is good for charbos like me who always got cramp here and there... )

WHY I Choose Ocean: Cos bo liao go walk walk at John Little fair and they are the only 1 that has great offer BUY 1 free 1.... (wah, after I finish my last product of the day I realise I am still very Meow Mi about spending money on beauty products.... but got improvement lah.. cos last time i will NEVER spend on it at all.... now is of no choice... spend or ugly... )

What Ocean SayS:
•Maintain healthy skin, nails and hair (I need this cos my hair and nails are horrible :(
•Help women cope better with their monthly cycle (Wah, I super need this loh)
•Relieve joint aches
•Maintain healthy blood lipid level and healthy cardiovascular system

That's all for my beauty spending of the year.... and I bought all these only this year... guess this is how much i am worrying about my age.... I am short and i dont have a choice but i do care about how fast i age :( and importantly my ah bei will always love me even when my skin all grow "crumper crumper" and my pop pop grow with the flow of gravity... Haha... :)

and I wonder...

2008-09-27T16:39:00.011+08:00

Hmmmm... since 1979 till now, goodness me and bei going on 30s next year.

We both slept too much in the day and couldn't sleep at night (Yes, bei can't sleep... that's so not him.... he can simply fall asleep at anywhere anytime and IMMEDIATELY....) anyway, ok we were lying on the bed and he suddenly ask...

Bei: " hey next year 2009 we only got to know each other for 3 years only hor.... seems like so many donkey years liao.... "

Moi:" what U boring liao izzit.... kns, #@*@ we always so sticky to each other so of cos feels like so long liao ma" ..... Haha, in my heart, i was thinking the same thing too... wah only 3 years nia seems like freaking 10years liao.... HAHAHA...

Bei:................................ no sound.... ZzZzzZZZZZZZZZZZzzzzzzzz

(who says bei can't sleep.... again he fall asleep again.... )

And I wondered when will we have little sandy (not sandies means only 1 child... that's more than enough for small short me)... always though getting preggy is as simple as @#*# and the next few weeks pop my tummy will grew big and bigger... nah, is never that simple after all... whenever i go out I always look around and see people getting preggy from as young as teens to my age to aunties.... (hmmm, i think i belong to aunty catergories liao.. :( sienz... )... My ah bei always ask, why those people wants to get preggy but can't but those who dont want.... then alamak they get preggy..... anyway, let it be for now..... if my tummy can't get bigger then i just enjoy couplehood with my ah bei....

Again... hmmm... if I have little sandy i guess bei and I cant be going out for late night supper or movies.... cant be riding bike anymore and cant go for holiday anymore.... alrite then for now is just me and ah bei and momo ... pepper and sugar....

Marie Digby - Stupid For You (Original Song)

2008-08-19T01:28:00.000+08:00

Ba pap ba da da da ba pa ba pa paaaa ba da pa pa paaa

It's not everyday
That I find a person quite like you
Perfect every way
I finally found the nerve to confess that it's you - that I want
I don't care if I act a fool
I would damn near beg for you
Set aside, all my pride
So don't keep me hanging here
Cause this girl is falling stupid for you...
Oh, oh stupid for you...

The proper thing to do
Is for me to act like a lady and wait
For you to make the first move

But I don't think you're getting the point
That it's you - that I want
I don't care if I act a fool
I would damn near beg for you
Put aside, all my pride
So don't keep me hanging here
Cause this girl is falling stupid for you
Oh, oh stupid for you

Why's it always feel like I am
Chasing love when nothing's there
And here I go just making the same mistakes...

I've fallen stupid for you...
Oh, oh stupid for you...
Oh, oh, oh, oh

Another Chapter of Life

2008-07-07T15:54:00.003+08:00

"Life is like an onion: You peel it off one layer at a time, and sometimes you weep."

Sometimes I wonder if life could just be "always Happy".... dont have to work.... dont have to worry about paper money.... dont have to be scared.... dont have to face the real ugly world.... dont have to be voiding....

and I wondered....

If i named my child a happy name will he/she be happy always? Haha...

Hmmm... planning for little sandies... but will life still be the same as before...

Married Life....

2007-12-28T04:25:00.000+08:00

To marry, it means the following
1. To be with that person for the rest of your life. Means seeing him every single day, breathing with him and seeing him everyday. ( that was the life most women want, but it doesnt really apply to men....)
2. Living with the person's flaws. Does it really mean to enduring his/her temper, farts, burping, snoring and even some rubbish bullshit habits (sometimes people jus take each other for granted...)
3. Trying to get along with all his friends. Essential to accommodating him so he will feel happy that you click with his friends (word is to try... is not easy when his/her friends doesnt really treasure what we call friendship...)
4. Trying to get along with his family(Essential to accommodating him so he dun feel like the ham in the sandwich.. that's not a problem at all)
5. Sharing your hard earn money for house, car, children etc.( alrite, can it be your money is my money and my money is my money.... )
6. Accommodating to each another by giving and taking (Less then often, is usually taking each other for granted.... life is jus full of challenges)

7. Working out the differences in each another(Compromise and compromise... when will that be... )
And the list goes on.....

Married life doesnt seems to be a bed of roses... doesnt mean it at all....

Ah Bei is my drugs....

2007-10-24T00:24:00.001+08:00

I SO miss yOu my ah beI.....
Ah bei is out for duty tonite... nite seems to be so empty and slient without him sitting just beside me playing his PSP or him snoring beside me....

I was in love with him when we got married... just had this feeling that it was right and he should be the person to spend the rest of my life with after knowing him for just barely 6 months...

I guess i am really growing in L-O-V-E with my ah bei so much.... even at times he is still naughty or when he ask for time alone with his friends for activities that i classified as "unhealthy activities" ...

Read a book recently (the art of understanding your mate) and it says women like us always want to have a perfect husband or boyfriend but we never realise that nothing is perfect in this world and husband and boyfriend dont come perfect as well... i do agree that i wanted change in ah bei so much that i tend to tell him to change so many things after marriage... and those things were things that was with him for the past 28 years... truely and might not be so possible that it will happen in a few days or months... guess i jus hv to give ah bei the benefit of doubt and the time and to love ah bei as who he is and for who i have married.....

Was on the phone with ah bei today and i was telling him that i am rushing home from my evening meetings which ends at 9pm to see him and send him goodbye for his duty tonite.... ah bei told me over the phone... "hey, am i your drugs?? Cant do it without?" haha... ya i suddenly realise that i am really so so attached to him that i look forward to spend time with him almost every minute when i am off work.... never was i the kind of person who love to rush home after work... BUT now that i am so into my ah bei life just changed... i just so want to rush home to be with him.... just be with him doing doing is jus so happy.... hmm... i am so missing him now... how i wish he was here beside me....

I fall in L-O-V-E and i am in L-O-V-E with U and i am now grOwing SO In L-O-V-E with U....

Why Do people Cry and What is really promises?

2007-10-21T05:16:00.000+08:00

Why do people cry:

1) It could be Disappointment
2) Or it could be tired of Waiting
3) maybe could be loneliness
4) or is rather because we 1st love...
5) not knowing is right or wrong...

What is really a promise?
1) a Broken promise ALWAYS..... a promise that never met.... a promise that wasnt meant to be.... a promise jus to pacify..... a promise that doesnt comes with a trust....

When can we really give a promise and keep to it? Are Promises meant to be broken again and again? Why people jus dont realise how much hurt it may cause to the recipient....

It mAtters Alot... if you dont realise its hurts....

15 steps to stay H-A-P-P-Y...

2007-10-17T19:15:00.000+08:00

Was thinking about how to make myself a happier person and i came across this write up by wikihow....

Everyone just wants to be happy. That's why people go on diets, spend too much money for clothes, or suck up to popular people - because they think it will make them happy! Happiness can be a "comfortable-good" or an "excited-good" or a "chilled-out-good" because it has many flavours and faces, depending on whom you are with, or what you are doing. However, if you get to know all different people, you will see what makes the happiest people happy.

1) Change your thought process. If you catch yourself thinking that things aren't going to work out, then think again. Remember that most things work out better than you fear - so imagine that your fears are ungrounded and that success is ahead. Rather than thinking of the problems and getting desperate, imagine the best outcome and then work out what you need to do to make that happen. Follow your "inner guidance system." If the thoughts you are thinking are not giving you a good feeling, then think about something else that will make you feel good in that moment. Monitor your thoughts consistently throughout the day. Sometimes this may not be as easy as you think if you are stuck in a "negative" train of thought and your brain chemicals are getting fired up and forming an "anxiety or anger" pathway. Anxiety, fear and anger patterns can be interrupted by focusing on doing a math problem, counting backwards, counting in odd numbers, doing a sudoku puzzle, etc. - this will dissipate the rush of chemicals that are making you feel bad. Immediately then go back to picturing scenes/remembering things/imagining, planning stuff that makes you feel GOOD.

2) See the world for what it really is. You have friends and family that love you. Learn How to be thankful. Think of all the things you have to be happy about. Relax, calm down, take things slower. No one has everything, and everyone has something of sorrow intermingled with gladness of life. The trick is to make the laughter outweigh the tears. We cannot change the past, but we can enjoy today, and look to the future. But if we are prepared to take credit for the past and accept that everything that happened in our life, good and bad, has made us the person we are - the battle is half won.

3)Lighten up. Don't take yourself too seriously. Stress can cause many mental, physical, and spiritual problems in your life. One of the major causes of stress is worrying about things that are out of your control. Learn to recognize these things and if you can truly do nothing about them, then just let them go. Take time to laugh at yourself and the situations you find yourself in. Laughter is a powerful, positive medicine and the calmer and more peaceful you can take things, the happier your life will be.

4) Be yourself. You can't please everybody. Don't let criticism worry you. Don’t compare yourself to other people – at work or in your personal life. In the first place, no one knows what other people are going through. More importantly, when you compare yourself to other people, you always tend to see yourself on the "short end". So this is never a good or helpful thing for you to do. One way to get in touch with yourself is through journaling. The goal is to open up completely to yourself and learn to be your best friend by knowing that the truth (to yourself) will set you free from fear! Practice self-acceptance no matter what. Never do something you're not comfortable with. You'll respect yourself for sticking to your guns, and that self-respect will make you happy.

5) Make a scheduled time every day for relaxation. This is a good time to go over any therapy that you’re working on. Having a "relaxation" time or a "quiet time" every day strengthens you, allows the stress and tension in your life to evaporate, and keeps you more on a positive, even keel.

6) Get a job you love. If you have a job you hate or dislike, seriously consider changing your job, or even changing careers. Having a job that makes you look forward to your day when you wake up in the morning is critical to a happy, fulfilled life. Making special time to enjoy interests, hobbies, and family, not only makes life happier, but helps us be more productive on the job.

7) Develop a strong relationship with your family. That includes trust. If you are in an abusive family, you must find a way to stop the abuse that may include separation. If you want a stronger relationship with your family, you're going to need to be honest with them. Tell your family about your life and don't insult them - it hurts them just as much as it hurts you to be insulted.

8) Choose the right companion. Get involved with activities that reflect who you are, and get to know people who like the things you do. Don't rule out the Internet as a place to find a significant other, just get to know them over the phone or through a few months of emails before agreeing to a meeting in person.

9) Choose your friends carefully. Nearly everyone needs someone who cares for them and treats them well. If you have friends who are treating you badly, then ditch them and find friends that do care about you. If you can't find any friends like that in your current circumstances, then look elsewhere. If you're feeling sad, there's nothing like going out with your friends to make you feel better. Surround yourself with friends who are positive, encouraging, and helpful. We all need this continuing, positive encouragement to make solid positive progress in life.

10) Do what you can for those less fortunate than yourself. Volunteer at a hospital or be a part of a program, which take care of patients in some way. When you leave the hospital, you will be so much happier knowing that you've done something meaningful, something someone else can appreciate.

11) Wish the best for others and mean it. It is so easy to be jealous and petty and forget to celebrate the good fortune of your coworkers, friends and family.

12) Keep learning. Whether it is a new hobby or a new dance, just keep learning something that interests you. Just find a new interest and go for it!! It will give you something to keep you occupied, and a new outlook on life.

13) Set goals. Live up to them. When you accomplish a goal, it's a great feeling. If you put all your failures down to other people, you put yourself in their power. Take responsibility for when things go wrong in your life.

14) Be healthy. Give your body and mind what it most needs in order to function in an "optimal" way. "Optimal" in this case means being the healthiest you can be, and the most psychologically balanced you can be. Eat a healthy, balanced diet and ensure that you get all the vital vitamins and minerals that your body requires for its optimal biochemical functioning. Supplement your diet with the appropriate vitamins and minerals. Get plenty of exercise. This will prompt the production of the "feel good" hormones that make you feel happy (endorphins). Plus, there are all the other obvious fitness and disease fighting benefits, too numerous to mention here.

15) Strive for long term goals vs. short term satisfaction. It is very easy to gain short term satisfaction, a quick high, a fast relief from your current problems. But it is what it is , a "short term" satisfaction, its effects die out very soon, leaving you again with this empty feeling. Set long term goals, set a goal which takes some time, some thought, some effort to achieve. This will make you continually work towards improving yourself bit by bit and will give you the satisfaction of bringing a permanent change in your life. A permanent revolution.

and in conclusion.... "Happiness is nothing more than good health and a bad memory." - Albert Schweitzer"

Fields oF Gold .... Every Breath you take....

"Fields Of Gold"

You'll remember me when the west wind moves
Upon the fields of barley
You'll forget the sun in his jealous sky
As we walk in the fields of gold

So she took her love
For to gaze awhile
Upon the fields of barley
In his arms she fell as her hair came down
Among the fields of gold

Will you stay with me, will you be my love
Among the fields of barley
We'll forget the sun in his jealous sky
As we lie in the fields of gold

See the west wind move like a lover so
Upon the fields of barley
Feel her body rise when you kiss her mouth
Among the fields of gold
I never made promises lightly
And there have been some that I've broken
But I swear in the days still left
We'll walk in the fields of gold
We'll walk in the fields of gold

Many years have passed since those summer days
Among the fields of barley
See the children run as the sun goes down
Among the fields of gold
You'll remember me when the west wind moves
Upon the fields of barley
You can tell the sun in his jealous sky
When we walked in the fields of gold
When we walked in the fields of gold
When we walked in the fields of gold

Every Breath You Take - Delicated for my ah bei..

An interesting article shared by someone i hardly know... is a long story but take alittle time to read it.. worth reading it cos it makes me ponder for alittle while about things i should be doing in my own marriage life...
Conclusion: Marriage life could be much much more interesting if me and ah bei wants to place more emphasis on it.

==============================================
On my wedding day, I carried my wife in my arms. The bridal car stopped in front of our one-room flat. My buddies insisted that I carry her out of the car in my arms. So I carried her into our home. She was then plump and shy. I was a strong and happy bridegroom.This was the scene of ten years ago.The following days were as simple as a cup of pure water: we had a kid, I went into business and tried to make more money. When the assets were steadily increasing, the affections between us seemed to ebb. She was a civil servant. Every morning we left home together and got home almost at the same time. Our kid was studying in a boarding school.Our marriage life seemed to be enviably happy. But the calm life was more likely to be affected by unpredictable changes.
Dew came into my life.It was a sunny day. I stood on a spacious balcony. Dew hugged me from behind. My heart once again was immersed in her stream of love. This was the apartment I bought for her.Dew said, You are the kind of man who best draws girls. Her words suddenly reminded me of my wife. When we just married, my wife said, Men like you, once successful, will be very attractive to girls. Thinking of this, I became somewhat hesitant. I knew I had betrayed my wife. But I couldn't help doing so.I moved Dew's hands aside and said, You go to select some furniture, O.K.? I 've got something to do in the company. Obviously she was unhappy, because I had promised her to go and see with her. At the moment, the idea of divorce became clearer in my mind although it used to be something impossible to me.However, I found it rather difficult to tell my wife about it. No matter how mildly I mentioned it to her, she would be deeply hurt. Honestly, she was a good wife. Every evening she was busy preparing dinner. I was sitting in front of the TV. The dinner was ready soon. Then we watched TV together. Or, I was lounging before the computer, visualizing Dew's body. This was the means of my entertainment.One day I said to her in a slight joking way, suppose we divorce, what will you do? She stared at me for a few seconds without a word. Apparently she believed that divorce was something too far away from her. I couldn' t imagine how she would react once she got to know I was serious.When my wife went to my office, Dew had just stepped out. Almost all the staff looked at my wife with a sympathetic eye and tried to hide something while talking with her. She seemed to have got some hint. She gently smiled at my subordinates. But I read some hurt in her eyes.Once again, Dew said to me, Divorce her, O.K.? Then we live together. I nodded.
I knew I could not hesitate any more.When my wife served the last dish, I held her hand. I've got something to tell you, I said.She sat down and ate quietly. Again I observed the hurt in her eyes. Suddenly I didn't know how to open my mouth. But I had to let her know what I was thinking. I want to divorce. I raised a serious topic calmly.She didn't seem to be much annoyed by my words, instead she asked me softly, why? I'm serious. I avoided her question. This so-called answer turned her angry. She threw away the chopsticks and shouted at me, you are not a man!At that night, we didn t talk to each other. She was weeping. I knew she wanted to find out what had happened to our marriage. But I could hardly give her a satisfactory answer, because my heart had gone to Dew.With a deep sense of guilt, I drafted a divorce agreement which stated that she could own our house, our car, and 30% stake of my company. She glanced at it and then tore it into pieces. I felt a pain in my heart. The woman who had been living ten years with me would become a stranger one day. But I could not take back what I had said.Finally she cried loudly in front of me, which was what I had expected to see. To me her cry was actually a kind of release. The idea of divorce which had obsessed me for several weeks seemed to be firmer and clearer.A late night, I came back home after entertaining my clients. I saw her writing something at the table. I fell asleep fast. When I woke up, I found she was still there. I turned over and was asleep again.She brought up her divorce conditions: she didn't want anything from me, but I was supposed to give her one month's time before divorce, and in the month's time we must live as normal life as possible. Her reason was simple: our son would finish his summer vacation a month later and she didn't want him to see our marriage was broken.She passed me the agreement she drafted, and then asked me, Do you still remember how I entered our bridal room on the wedding day?This question suddenly brought back all those wonderful memories to me. I nodded and said, I remember. You carried me in your arms, she continued, so, I have a requirement, that is, you carry me out in your arms on the day when we divorce. From now to the end of this month, you must carry me out from the bedroom to the door every morning.I accepted with a smile. I knew she missed those sweet days and wished to end her marriage with a romantic form.I told Dew about my wife s divorce conditions. She laughed loudly and thought it was absurd. No matter what tricks she does, she has to face the result of divorce, she said scornfully. Her words more or less made me feel uncomfortable.My wife and I hadn't had any body contact since my divorce intention was explicitly expressed. We even treated each other as a stranger. So when I carried her out for the first day, we both appeared clumsy. Our son clapped behind us, daddy is holding mummy in his arms. His words brought me a sense of pain. From the bedroom to the sitting room, then to the door, I walked over ten meters with her in my arms. She closed her eyes and said softly, Let us start from today, don t tell our son. I nodded, feeling somewhat upset. I put her down outside the door. She went to wait for bus, I drove to office.On the second day, both of us acted much more easily. She leaned on my chest. We were so close that I could smell the fragrance of her blouse. I realized that I hadn' t looked at this intimate woman carefully for a long time. I found she was not young any more. There were some fine wrinkles on her face.On the third day, she whispered to me, The outside garden is being demolished. Be careful when you pass there.On the fourth day, when I lifted her up, I seemed to feel that we were still an intimate couple and I was holding my sweetheart in my arms. The visualization of Dew became more vague.On the fifth and sixth day, she kept reminding me something, such as, where she put the ironed shirts, I should be careful while cooking, etc. I nodded. The sense of intimacy was even stronger.I didn't tell Dew about this. I felt it was easier to carry her. Perhaps the everyday workout made me stronger. I said to her, It seems not difficult to carry you now.She was picking her dresses. I was waiting to carry her out. She tried quite a few but could not find a suitable one. Then she sighed, All my dresses have grown fatter. I smiled. But I suddenly realized that it was because she was thinner that I could carry her more easily, not because I was stronger. I knew she had buried all the bitterness in her heart. Again, I felt a sense of pain. Subconsciously I reached out a hand to touch her head.Our son came in at >the moment. Dad, it's time to carry mum out. He said. To him, seeing his father carrying his mother out had been an essential part of his life. She gestured our son to come closer and hugged him tightly. I turned my face because I was afraid I would change my mind at the last minute. I held her in my arms, walking from the bedroom, through the sitting room, to the hallway. Her hand surrounded my neck softly and naturally. I held her body tightly, as if we came back to our wedding day. But her much lighter weight made me sad.On the last day, when I held her in my arms I could hardly move a step. Our son had gone to school. She said, Actually I hope you will hold me in your arms until we are old.I held her tightly and said, Both you and I didn t notice that our life was lack of such intimacy.I jumped out of the car swiftly without locking the door. I was afraid any delay would make me change my decision. I walked upstairs.
Dew opened the door. I said to her, Sorry, Dew, I won't divorce. I'm serious.She looked at me, astonished. The she touched my forehead. You got no fever. She said. I moved her hand off my head. Sorry, Dew, I said, I can only say sorry to you, I won t divorce. My marriage life was boring probably because she and I didn t value the details of life, not because we didn t love each other any more. Now I understand that since I carried her into the home, she gave birth to our child, I am supposed to hold heruntil I am old. So I have to say sorry to you.Dew seemed to suddenly wake up. She gave me a loud slap and then slammed the door and burst into tears. I walked downstairs and drove to the office.When I passed the floral shop on the way, I ordered a bouquet for my wife which was her favourite. The salesgirl asked me to write the greeting words on the card. I smiled and wrote, I 'll carry you out every morning until we are old.
====================================================

Seems like i have being married to ah bei for so so many years even thou our marriage life is just a short 6months ago. Sometime getting too comfortable wit each other might be good and bad. Had a conversation with aunty HongEng and she makes me realise that i have married Ah Bei for who he is and not for what i want him to be. She shared with me further that some habits might not be good for ah bei but I cannot expect that after marriage ah bei has to change for me becos i am married to him. Aunty HongEng says that as ah bei wife i must always give him respect still and be a supporting role to him.
Hmm.. why do i always need constant reminder again and again to treasure what i have now.... Ah bei is a very good husband... where can i find a husband that can take 5hours to mop the whole house and me sitting around staring at him while he mops... where can i find a husband that can fetch me around to whereever i want.... Giveing ah bei some free time to do things that he wants doesnt seems to be too unreasonable.... but why am i imposing so so much rules into ah bei life after we got married.... Another self reflection I must check again on my life with ah bei...
I truely love this man that i named him ah bei... and i want to call him MY ah bei till we grow old together...

Artist: Sixpence None The Richer

Presenting My all time favourite Song

With Every Breath

Hallelujah from the heavens
Hallelujah in the heights above the earth
Hallelujah all His angels
Hallelujah for the last will be first
Let everything that has breath praise the Lord
Let everything that has breath praise the Lord

Hallelujah in the morning
Hallelujah for the beauty of His scars
Hallelujah in the twilight
Hallelujah sun and moon and shining stars
Let everything that has breath praise the Lord
Let everything that has breath praise the Lord

When the night seems so long (throw your hands to the sky)
You can sing a new song (wipe the tears from your eyes)
When you're weak, He is strong
He can heal your wounded soul
And calm the storm inside

For all your times of laughter
In every hopeful prayer
When the world weighs on your shoulders
Through sorrow and your despair
With everything, with every breath, praise the Lord
Let everything, let every breath praise the Lord
Let everything that has breath praise the Lord
Let everything that has breath praise the Lord
Let everything that has breath praise the Lord
Let everything, let every breath praise the Lord

When the night seems so long (throw your hands to the sky)
You can sing a new song (wipe the tears from your eyes)
When you're weak, He is strong
He can heal your wounded soul
And calm the storm inside
