Happy Mother's Day

This going to be my 2nd Mother's day..2 years old lilttle Bao still does not understand what is Mother's day. Guess when he is about 4 then sure he knows.

No special celebration will have on the actual day, my mum was no longer here...I miss her a lot...though she has been away from our life for more than 7 years, but i still dream about her occasionally. She always seem happy and healthy in my dream....like back in her days before she was ill.
~Happy Mother's Day to you my dear mum!~

Last week bought my MIL a dinner to celebrate mother's day for her, went to her favorite Vegetarian restaurant at Ipoh.Hope she was happy with my arrangement, both of her sons are overseas now :P

How about my own big day???Poo daddy will be back and we plan to have our own "Parent's day " celebration at a shot! Where to go and what to do???Already have some rough idea...but let's keep it to ourselves first!!!


Lastly, Happy Mother's day to all great mothers!!!

April 2010 ending......

Today is end of April, time flies.....

An update of myself....
I fell down from my son racing car....caused my coccyx bone (tail bone) fracture...pain for one week...recovering now :P

What else to say, do not know....nothing seems special other than my injury...Perhaps talk about my son?! :P

Gary is 2 years 2 months now, he is growing up, no more baby look but more to boy now.He bahaved quite well this week, he knows i'm having pain...and did not give me a lot of hard time. I always think i'm very lucky that i having such a good and adorable kid. He understands what caused my injury, his mum fell down from his race car when playing with him ....shame to mame ...Muahaha!!! He even demonstrated to me how i fell....

I have nothing to complain about this little fella, only his milk intake....why he dislike milk???..still can not find any answer...I never give up, changing and changing my style in feeding him milk, latest trick is feeding with cup and spoon. Guess my milk bottles need to put on shelves, "jialat"...these are newly open bottle that i just bought from cheap sales.

His happiest moment is the time when i pick him from school, he will run to the door steps, juggling with other curious kids so that he can get the first place standing in front of the grille door....So funny looking at this "kiasu" boy. His father said, this must be learning from his "kiasu" mum.HaHaHa!!!

Oh ya!!Another thing....He is a born lawyer, he always like argue with me, see....before he understand fully ..before is speak fluently....he already start arguing with mum.

Mum said :" Hey, this is Honda City hor?"
Gary       : "No...no....it's nice car car"
Mum said :"Ya..nice car, but name is Honda City"
Gary  said angrily  : " No..No....No...nice car car".


Mum said : " Do you want to talk to daddy on the phone"
Gary  :"No...No...dun want"

Mum said :" Hey, Park your car..we are going to Gai Gai"
Gary ride his car to the door step.
Mum said :" No..park back to the original place"
Gary said :"No....park here"

Gary :" Go there....go there" asked me to make right turn when we in the car
Mum said :"No...can not go there"
Gary :"No..go..there...Gary wants go there"

Gary point to a train picture :" see....Thomas"
Mum said :" No...it's a train"
Gary said :" No..No...No...Thomas"
Mum "........."

Happy..Body Fat reduced!

Today, i was brighten up with a good news..my body fat is reduced from 30% to now 24%...i realized this when i have my bi-annual body check up.This  indeed a very good news to me, my body fat % was always at the border of 30%+++. I know this must be the result of my healthy eating habits and routine exercise :)

Taming his temper

It's a challenge now to manage a 2 years old boy, angry outburst turns on when things not going  his way.Frequently see this happening when my boy is sick, hungry...or too tired. Me loose my cool sometimes and things only get worst.

I find it is more effective to use the soft approach,be patient and calm, listen to him, do whatever he commanded, soon his tantrums will be fanned off.
Reacting to kids' meltdowns with yelling and outbursts will only make the situation worse and teach him to do the same. But keeping ourselves cool and calmly working through a frustrating situation is showing and  teaching our kids appropriate ways to handle anger and frustration.

No one is perfect, we will sometimes feel frustrated with all unreasonable requests from an angry child, what do the best is walk away from the situation a while, give yourself a short break and then going back to attend to him....giving him a warm hug and kiss, you will find your child cooling down and start talking to you and telling you why is he upsetting.Many times, feeling listened to and understood is all our kids need to regain their composure.



Trust me...this is the best way to handle your kid...to tame his temper :)

Talk to me

Gary is now 2 years old…and started to have some very simple communication with us. I like to talk to him in the journey to nursery and baby sitter, we talked about the surroundings….things that we see. He is an observant child, he see things faster than me, even for some little tiny things, are most kids the same?

This morning while I was dressing up in the bathroom, he walked to me…He woke up on his own, came down from the bed…walked to me..and the first sentence he talked to me was “”Mame….daddy? …car …car.” I guess only I know what he tried to say. He was trying to ask “Where is daddy? I want to play car car with him”. This little fella,only thing in his head is car and ball…nothing else.

I noticed this little bao learning new word from school everyday, from “Boo Yao” (Don’t want) to “some more”…He helped me to collect laundry from the yard, I passed him one pair of socks, then to my surprise, he said “some more”. Wow, impressive!


Little Bao, talk to me....i like to hear your words....

I miss you

Poo Daddy told me last night that he suddenly missed little Bao, my reaction was :”What? I thought you miss him everyday and night?” Then he said “Ya lah, but yesterday's feeling was very strong!”.
“So, what you do next?” I said.
“Continue working loh” He replied.
“@#$%#$.....” I mumbled.
Sometimes I do too, in the middle of the day when I was busy doing my job, Little Bao’s cutie face will flash in my head….or sometimes when I walked in the mall during lunch hour, I will think of him.People always said, your son/daughter was your lover in the previous life. This myth is somehow true, as we will only think of our lover at anytime, at anyplace.

Recently I feel very touched on an radio advertisement….Something like this...the advertisement is in Cantonese.

“ Mummy, How are you? I’m fine here”
“ Mummy, I miss you very much, I hope you are fine too”
“ I dream every night, I see the fierce fire….and you hold me very tightly with you whole body”
“Mummy, do not worry about me, I will be good here, I know you can hear me and protect me from heaven”

I repeatedly hearing this many… many times on the radio, it’s a fire extinguisher advertisement. I still getting heavy every time I hear. Mother always prepared to sacrifice everything to love to protect her kid…including her life. That’s the born to be instinct deeply embedded in every living creature.

Natural healing

I bought a book by Dr Tom Wu during recent visit to a book store, not intentionally looked for this title, it just coincidentally Dr Tom Wu's books are now having promotion.I always interested in healing power by natural ingredients, so i took 2 of his books home.



His way of natural healing is very simple, not involving too much of do and don't.....What we need to do is just taking frequently mixed fruits smoothies....I did not invest in heavy duty blender,i afraid my "3 minutes fever" character and do not adhere to this practice :)
Using a normal blender resulted a more "crushed" feel in the smoothies, not really smooth as smoothies, i can still find small pieces of seeds and skins in the mixed, well..i think this is still fine for me as a beginner.

So far i have practiced for few days,i do not follow exactly Dr Tom Wu's way, i cheat....ya..i cheat!i only drink once in the morning and evening...I do not want to force myself to the corner...Just taking this as a habit gradually.

In his theory, we need to have 3 bowel movements a day, how can i do that? It's hard...so far the max is 2 times i can go...

Re-opening

Hi all....

Friends are complaining why i did not send new post...and i have all sorts of reasons and excuses.

For those miss us....here we are now!!!




Gary at his 2 years old birthday celebration




Playing with his toy car which come together with the cake.


Gary is 2 years old now and i started to send him to half day school.Not school actually, to be exact...it's a play group.Everyday 8.30 to 12pm,then i need to utilize my lunch hour to pick him from school and sending him to baby sitter.

On the first 2 days,he was ok, so i did not have hard time to send him there.

But the second week, he started to cry before reaching school,he has good sense in geographic, at main road ...not yet reaching the junction, he already started to say "no..." "mame, baobao "to me....He didn't want to go to school.

He cried very loudly when we reached school, then teacher carry him in...and he was like being kidnapped by someone else...Pity him. According to teacher, he only cried for a while then he got ok for the whole morning...I trust her, coz when i pick him up after school, he seems ok and happy.

This week is the third week my prince schooling, other than little noise he made on Monday morning, the rest of the time are perfectly alright.He is improving day by day. Poo daddy has his daily report everyday on how is son doing at school, i will call him to brief him, he seems a bit worry that his son dislike schooling.Don't worry...our son doing well!


Last week he made an paper craft...a paper elephant...I feel so proud of him and almost melted in my heart...Oh, boy...he is growing up and this is the first piece of art that he made.I'm keeping this together with all my precious.

Gary, mame and daddy love u!!!
