Been complaining a lot...

The feast is just over. Gosh, there were about 40 guests here gathering at my in-law house. The house was full of noise and the kids were playing happily and crazily too. Actually, i was a bit unhappy, all because of my MIL. She had been complaining a lot since few days ago, be honestly, i really do not have idea what does she want. She complained the dirtiness and complained we didn't help her out on the house chores, but gosh, my FIL had been cleaning the house by using the hoover steam vac for few days to ensure a sparkle looking home before the guests arrived, however, MIL still complaining a lot. Her complains annoy me a lot, now i seriously think to spend our next CNY in CN to avoid listening her never ending complains.

A lot of sick kids

A lot of my friends' kids are sick during this festive season, probably they had been taking too much of CNY foods and triggered the sickness. Most are having same symptoms like fever, cough and sore throat. My girl has eyes infection too, no idea where did she get it. I have bought the eye drop 2 days ago from the medical center, i was pretty surprised when i saw those on duty nurses wearing modern medical scrubs there. Gosh, those nurses looked so pro and gorgeous. My hubby even said their uniform looks more modern than my dress. :p

Titanium watch

Hubby bought me a titanium watch as a Christmas present. He was so lovely to give me a surprise. Actually, i never like to wear watch because my hand is allergic to watch band, be it a leather, silver or titanium. So be honestly, i was just a bit confused why did he still spend a huge amount to get me a watch which it is not necessary to own. He is a lovely man but definitely is not a thoughtful man!

No more co-sleeping

Our king sized latex mattress is finally arrived at our doorstep this afternoon. After few years of co-sleeping with the kids, we finally decided to move the boys to other room. Both of the boys are fine with the decision and they in fact can't hardly wait to sleep in their own room. They have ocean theme room, so basically everything is in blue color. My girl wanted to have her own room too, but pathetically we just have 2 rooms in our unit, so for the moment i still cannot promise her any. Hopefully the boys won't come disturbing me at the midnight.

Goodbye 2011

How time flies, a much awaited year 2012 will be arriving in 9 hours time. How are you going to celebrate tonight, the last day of year 2011? A blast together with the final countdown? I envy you if you will have one of any kind of celebrations later. I have not been attending year end party for years, and I can foresee I won't be attending any too for the next 10 years. Actually the last day of the year is just like any other day, even my boys have replacement class and are going to art class tonight as well. Hubby is working also. So it even makes the day less meaningful. Anyhow, i am here wishing everyone Happy New Year and have a prosperous year ahead!Oh, i had this Subway tuna sandwich for my lunch, yummy and satisfied food to mark the last lunch of year 2011.

Wish to have pretty eyelashes

I have been thinking to try one of those best eyelash growth products so that my eyelashes can look longer. I actually even wonder could the eyelashes grow longer to my desired length before CNY. Can it be a magic wand? My friend told me before that i could have frequent trim to my eyelashes because eyelashes are like hair, the more you trim the faster they grow. I in fact never try this method, but i will if the eyelash growth product cannot help me. In short say, i will never forgo any chance that can make my eyelashes grow longer.

Can't wait any longer to "fly"

I have been so looking for the date of my flight to go back to my home country, yes, another 39 days to go. It has been a year since i last went back so i seriously miss the foods and my family and my friends there. And, i miss the hot hot weather there too! So in order not to waste the hot weather, i have planned to bring the kids to Manuka Island, and i even bought the funny t shirts for 5 of us so that we can have perfect matching on our island trip. Just can't wait any longer to go back home!

Learning phonics

I just found a great you tube video downloader. Actually i had been looking one but what i have found so far was not my favorite downloader. I definitely prefer the current one which allows MP3, AAC, MPEG, FLV, and HD Formats. From now onwards, i can download all the phonics teaching methods to my iPad and let my kids learn them. I do not know phonics so most of the time i don't know how to teach them. Luckily i can get the sources from Youtube!

Year end again..

How time flies, it is year end again. It was like yesterday i just celebrated my Christmas, but now Christmas is just around the corner again. Yesterday when i was at the mall, i saw Christmas decorations were everywhere and Christmas songs been kept broadcasting too. I have ready to give christmas cheer for my family, relatives and friends. How about you? Have you got your Christmas tree ready? And have you prepared Christmas presents for your loved ones? Woo...i just love year end!

Go back to corporate world

I will have more personal time after my girl attends to school next year. Perhaps i will look for one of those Technical Recruiter Consultant Jobs so that i can help reducing hubby's burden. I have always wanted to get a job again so that we can share our household expenses. I totally know it is not easier to be a sole breadwinner for a family, what's more we have 3 kids. Let's see how, if my hubby supports my willing, then most probably i will get a full time job again. Hopefully it is not difficult for me to get a high paid job here.

CNY holidays soon

How time flies, it has only 94 days to go to CNY. You know, i have been waiting for this day arrives so that i can go back, i just like to see more sunlights and meet my family and friends there. I have never liked the Winter here, the weather just makes me feeling sick. Unlike in MY, the sun is big and hot which is perfect for swimming, picnic, diving and etc. Islands are everywhere in KK, but sadly to say, my kids have never been any before. So for the coming CNY holidays, i will bring them to go. They will definitely like the clean and white sands there, and they can dive too. My boy even ask for one of those underwater cameras so that he can shoot the underwater scenes and show to his friends.

Words Learning for a 4yo

Recently i found this book at DangDang, i bought the first book after i read their reviews. I was pretty skeptical about the techniques so i just ordered the first book instead of getting the full set which has 7 books in it.

I taught my Eli the first page at the night i received this book, Eli's response was good, perhaps i should say his response was better than my expectation. He could memorize the first 16 words in less than 10 minutes, and he showed interest in reading this book too. So without much thinking, i ordered another book 2, 3 and 4 immediately. As for the rest, they are still in old version which without colors and pictures, so better i wait for the new version arrives to make them into a complete set.

What i like this book is, it shows the simple words first, then comes to 2 words, and gradually in sentence which the sentences are made up by those learned words. My Eli felt excited when he could read the full sentences by his own, think this is the motivation to keep him learning.

Christmas, can't wait any longer

I hope my friends won't say me crazy if i send out the Christmas Party Invitations to them end of this month. You know, i just can't wait to celebrate white Christmas with all of my loved friends. I have been waiting for the Christmas ever since my birthday over and i have been practicing my baking skills a lot so that i can bake variety of Christmas cookies for my loved ones. Other than that, i have even got all the Christmas presents ready. Oh, i am not crazy but just too love to have this day coming.

A week holiday

The one week national holidays will be here soon, anyway, holidays are just like any other days for me, even more busier than school days. Hubs suggests we can have a short vacation but the boys prefer to stay at home and playing their gadgets. My elder boy has even kept reminding me countless time to buy the ps3 hdmi cable so that it will be available during the long holidays. Sigh, traveling can never arouse their mood and interest, so i always say my kids are different from their peers, don't they?

SZ to BKK

AA is offering free seats ticket, i browsed and checked the airfare from SZ to Bangkok in next Summer is just about CNY110 per pax, that's cheap and i am so tempted to get the tickets and brings the kids to Bangkok next Summer. If possible, i will get a self driven package while traveling in Bangkok. I had bad experience taking public transport in Bangkok before that's why if with kids along, i would rather go for renting the rv and drive myself. Of course, it is necessary to have rv insurance and check the affordable rv insurance quote before we go so that i can manage our family travel budget well.

Get the kitchen sink changed

I have always wanted to get my kitchen sink changed. Finally my landlord agreed to let us change the current kitchen sink to stainless steel sink. I prefer stainless steel more, at least it won't get rusty after using over time. At first my landlord was not agreed to change it but he said "YES" after he knew i would pay everything without sending him any bills. See, that's my landlord, a very calculative young lawyer.

Cannot fit into size L

I bought myself a PU jacket yesterday online and i received the parcel this morning. Sadly to say, i cannot fit into the jacket although i bought size L. Gosh, i think i need to stop shopping fashion online until i shed off those extra body fats. I need one of those proven and effective best fat burners, can anyone recommend one to me. I don't mind to pay as long as it helps burning my body fats. I need to have nice body shape again before Winter comes.

My soon-to-be 28 months old girl

My girl is almost 28 months old now and still a breastfed baby, not exclusively though. She takes once or twice growing up milk per day, other times she likes being a leech, latching on me whenever she sees me in lying position or sitting position. Her overly demand of sucking has been causing a lot of inconveniences for me, i feel exhausted but i still have no heart to wean her off my boobs. I like the quiet time bonding with her and such moment is precious when she comfortably being held in nursing position. In fact, i have received quite lot of pressures from people especially my hubs, they just want me to stop. Some of them think perhaps i do not produce enough milk for my girl, and some of them say my milk now is actually nutrient-less, so better i wean her off. I am so in dilemma, stop or continue has been lingering on my mind for a while.

People will throw me a "wow and unbelievable" look when they are told i am still breastfeeding my toddler girl. Is it really such an unbelievable act when a mother is still breastfeeding her toddler girl? I have a friend actually breastfed her boy till her boy was 4 years old. Well, i don't think i am able to nurse my girl like how my friend did. I am getting prepared to wean her off my boobs because she will attend nursery in another few months time. Time just flies, my ever fragile baby is now a cute little girl, and very soon, she will go to primary school, then high school, then Uni, and then go dating with boyfriend. And very soon, she will hunt for her custom engagement ring, don't you agree that all these will just happen in the blink of an eye?

So slacking off

It has been about a month since i last updated this blog, yeah, i have definitely lost my momentum to blog. I am so slacking off in maintaining my blogs, yeah, BLOGS. I own not only one blog, but few. Because of my slacking attitude, few blogs of mine have been deserted. During my absence, did you miss me? Well, i don't think i have much readers as i used to have, just think who wants to visit a deserted blog? Be honestly, my mind is stuck, i actually have lost the ideas in updating blogs. Updating blogs seems like a toughest job for me now as compared to motherhood job. Hopefully, i can back to blogging world again after the kids returning to school. Keep my fingers crossed, the school reopens in another 11 days.

Promise ring

I knew what was a wedding ring but never knew what was a promise ring etiquette because i had never received one from my boyfriend who is now my hubby. I only knew the true meaning of it after being told by my friend. She had her promise ring from her boyfriend, wow, sounds so romantic to get such a ring. But one thing funny is, they have been together for 3 months only, oh gosh, how to acknowledge this "fresh" relationship? Hope they won't break the commitments they have made as time goes by.
