June - July

Just realised that i haven't updated the blog for coming to 2 months. Not that there aren't interesting things happening, its just that sometimes i am simply too lazy to pen down.

So here's some some major events that happened.

Little girl celebrated her 4th birthday 3x at my mum's place, the school and at our own humble house. This year's theme was princess. She requested for a princess cake and dress like one too. Times flies, in Dec little boy will be turning 3. Gone are the innocence of them, and what is approaching is more reasoning from the kids. Sigh!

In July, we celebrated the birthday of my younger sis, who turned 21st this year. Noyhing fanciful, just buffet dinner at Jurong Point. Well, this little sis of mine is such a fine young lady now. Wish her a bright future. :)

There is also the Racial Harmony Day at school. Managed to borrow a Malay costume for little girl. Looks more like a little nonya on her. Little boy still can fit into his jinbei, which he wore last year at school. (shows he hasn't grown much) :p

Updates

Pandon me for the lack of updates. A few months again, i've started this little business, http://www.etsy.com/shop.php?user_id=7550559, with my sis. Its still a pretty new store, so we are still trying to figure out which are most popular to customers.

Oh yes, felt playfood is a very new concept in Singapore, but its pretty popular in US. US parents believes that the plastic playfood contains lots of toxic, thus they would rather invest in other types of playfood for this children.

So now i am busy with sewing the items customers order. And on top of it, the usual, doing housework, monitoring the kids do their homework, cooking, etc etc.

The past 2 months+ hasn't really been a fantastic one for us. The kids are down with cough and cold, which lasted for more a month, stop for about a few days and back again. It's get real frustrating when the kids are sick, more so if you've tried all types of methods to build their resistence and nothing seems to work!

Ah Boy

Friends who known little boy would always label him as a sweet nature boy who doesn't run amok or behave like other boys or how boys should behave. Its true to certain extent. I don't have the problem of having to chase him when we are outside, and he don't usually fight or snatch toys with other kids.

But unknown to others, this little boy of mine has a fiery temper and a very very stubborn boy is he. (from dad's genes? :p) He would rather cry for close to an hour than to do what you asked him too.

Just like this afternoon, all i wanted him to do is to wear his pj then go to for his nap. This little boy of mine simply refused to do so. Had to bring him out of the bedroom and close the door with him outside 3x before he finally agreed to wear his pj.

Hiyoh, with such a temper like his (getting worse these few weeks), everyday becomes a chore. Imagine having to coax him into doing this and that, a simple task who usually takes 5 mins can end up being completed only in 15 mins or more. Let's just hope this is a passing phrase, (which i belive it is) and he will co-operate with me soon.

Snip, snap, snip

My hair has been dropping like no one's business (of course, other than mine), and i'm getting bald! Thought that by cutting it shorter, tangling will reduce, and perhaps dropping will reduce too? (I certainly hope so).

I hate going to saloons, except those $10 express cut type. Reason is those saloons love to comment on my hair, some excepts are, "oh, your hair dry, fizzy, blah blah blah....", end up they just want me to buy their products. So why should i spend tonnes to listen to their comments?

Anyway, this time round, i thought i shall just try cutting my own hair. Had cut little girl's hair and little boy's not too long ago. Spend like 1/2 hr standing in front of the mirror in the toilet (simply too lazy to vacuum the floor), comparing whether the right or left side is long, which strand of hair is shorter, etc etc.

And ta-dah! I did it. From the mirror, its seems fine. Have yet to show anyone if its of equal length. But actually there is a need to, since i tie up my hair most of the time. Conclusion, saved $10, and i had "fun". :p

Her little request

In less than 2 weeks, little girl will be turning 4!

It seems like yesterday when she just celebrate her 3rd birthday and now she is turning 4. This year, she requested for a princess cake, well almost everything princess. She is just so much into princesses nowadays. And the weird thing is she has never really watch any princess cartoons, etc before.

To grant her wish, i've already ordered a Belle cake and trying hard how to dress her like a little princess without spending lots. Have made a tutu for her, now trying to find her a matching top and how to beautify that tutu.

While this mummy wishes that she stops growing old, she can't wait to grow up! Sigh!

Till the day of the celebration at school...

Overloaded

Not me, but my dear laptop.

This is the 2nd coma it suffered this year, the 1st being somewhere in Mar. No laptop = handicap, no facebook, no surfing! Such is the life of "modern" society. We tends to feel handicap with IT. I am no exception!

For now, till then, have to use hubby's desktop while dear old laptop checked into the computer hospital.

About toilet training

About 2 years ago, i toilet train little girl, not fully but during the day.

2 years later, i am toilet training again, this time little boy and litte girl. Little boy for the day, and little girl for napping and night. Started little boy on a much later age, abt 1/2 yr later, reason being i just don't want to stress myself.

Toilet training begins on sat (31/05/09), that morning, we had countless accidents. Wet like 3 pants only for the day, that i had to buy more shorts for him. Sun we didnt managed to train him, was out almost the whole day. From mon onwards, there was only one or 2 accidents each day. :)

As for little girl, she was diaperless for her nap as well as night since sun. Since far so good, no accidents. Well, we exchanged terms, that is if she can go diaperless, she can get her princess birthday cake as well as a toy for helping daddy and mummy save $. It somehow work wonders on her.

Next plan will be diaperless for little girl when going out and diaperless for little boy during nap time. Will see when its best to implement that. :)
