Lantern festival came and went. Whenever I carry the lantern, it just reminds me that soon, we will be celebrating CNY…

But this year, with an additional Max to carry the lantern, so funny lor…. Marcus and Mabel took the ones with candles, and Max of course carry the same kind but without candles. He was like dragging the lantern on the floor, and he keeps dropping the lantern on the floor. The walking was so slow. And when I want to carry him, he didn’t want to be carried. then he squeezed the lantern so hard… but he enjoyed. Then we eventually walked to the playground, god, he was so energetic on seeing the playground. I had to follow him up and down… me backache after that. He would climbed the slide… gosh… and as usual, he doesn’t know when to stop, had to sort of like forcefully carry him away.

Saw this somewhere. thought it was meaningful:

There would come a time when we have to stop loving someone because we found out that they'd be happier if we let them go.

You will know when you really love someone is when you want him to be happy even if their happiness means you are not a part of it.

You know what they say about those wooden bamboo chopsticks? How from manufacturing it was bleached, but not disinfect? Then how it was packaged into the little plastic bag (still not disinfected)? Then now, worse still, some recycle the chopsticks…

Hmmm, this is a very complicated thing. Remember the Styrofoam box..? some manufacturers manufactured it, sold it and it was widely adopted. Then came the scare about all the stuff on Styrofoam box.

Now all the hype about wooden chopstick…. Well, probably it will take a concerted effort to boycott using the wooden chopstick. Then again, if we dun use wooden chopstick, what can we use? We can use plastic fork and spoon, but worse still, wooden chopstick can be broken down when thrown away, plastic cannot.

On a lighter note, about marcus…

Hmmm, he quite poor thing, think his skin is sensitive, ever since about a month ago, his face has a lot of rashes. His friend teased him about him having a chicken pox. Then during the sept holidays, after much cream application, his face was much better. When sch reopens again, the rashes came back again. His lips have also been cracking up, it was quite bad in term 3, now it is much better again.

Since wed nite, he complained that his left eye was painful. Then on thurs morning, his eye was very swollen. So in the evening, brought him to see a doc. Doc gave some eye drops and also some cream for his face. Doc says that apparently a sand got into his eye. Anyway, doc also said that he may have sensitive skin and his skin is quite dry. So after he feels better, may think of changing his soap.

And also the doc says that having a sensitive skin may hamper his growth. No wonder he’s so short. Hence, after he is better, I may also buy the medicine for him to eat to spur his growth.

but the responsibility falls greater on the manufacturer. If the source is the paint used in making the toys, then go after the person who supply the paint.
oh, so now, manufacturers are excusable because they want to maximise their profit??? they want to maximise their profit, so they can ignore health standards? so we should compromise our children's health for them to maximise their profit? get a life, you can earn money, but dun earn your money in this kind of unethical way.
buyers want the lowest price? who started this thing of price slashing? china!

this girl is a sad story. that's the problem of giving birth too young, having stardom too young. can't cope with fame
Just enjoyed spending time with Max every day. He’s smarter and he’s getting cuter and cuter by the day.

1) he is smart. He knows how to hold 2 small rubber hands with just one hand. He will grab the first one in his hand and then he will use his thumb and second finger to hold the other ball. No one taught him that.
2) He now realized that he has new found freedom ever since he learnt to walk independently. He enjoys walking round and round the house and climbing up and down the stairs. He also enjoys going out… he is very excited when he knows that he is going out. He also now wants his own set of bowl and spoon, juz to play with when he’s having dinner. Slowly I think he will learn to push the spoon into his mouth to feed himself. He bites his spoon and refuse to let go.
3) I will slowly teach him to say some words. He now knows how to show the number 2 and says 2. he is very talkative. He seems to be engaged in a conversation with you when you teach him things. Of course, he knows how to quarrel with people too, esp with his siblings. When he loses out, he will take their hands and want to bite.
4) He is very mischievous. When marcus and mabel is sleeping, he would go and disturb them. He would shake their head, ruffle their hair, put his mouth on their face, like kissing them like that.
5) he is very good at crying first. That day when he toppled the photo frame, I juz said a little more stern, ‘ah boy!’ suddenly he turned around and cry so loud. Then he walked towards me and buried his head on my laps, then ask me to carry him. When I did, he buried his head on my shoulder and cried somemore. All this while, I didn’t even scold him. Then when I pat him, saying him, he looked up and smiled.
6) Sometimes, when he doesn’t want the maid, he will raise up and his hand and shake his hand, like asking the maid to go away. He also knows that by raising out both his hands, he’s asking people to carry him.
7) He is very cute. So cute….. and last nite, he was playing with a plastic cup. He actually wanted to drink the cold water from the cup, but since marcus has finish the water, the cup is empty, I let him play with it. He was experimenting with the cup, then he placed the cup over his mouth and talked into the cup. When the siblings laughed, he knows it’s funny and he kept on doing it to make us laugh.
8) It was nice to watch him sleep. When he sleep, he looks so serene, like so angelic. What a contrast from when he’s awake. When he sleeps, I think he really looks like me.

On Sunday, brought the children to pasir ris to cycle. He enjoys sitting on the chair and letting the wind blow against him. Pasir ris has upgraded the playground. The children enjoyed playing. Will bring marcus and mabel there more often to play as it’s good to climb and move around. In this way, marcus can then grow taller. Do you know that he is actually being referred because he’s too short for his age? Slightly below the percentile. So got to monitor him.

Anyway, there is swing there, max enjoys the swing. You can see from his face that it is very ticklish… when I have time, I will post the pictures here.

All in all, we had a good time. Will bring them there more often. Picnic. We have a tent, so we can all go there and just enjoy the sand, sea and sun.

Darn, blogger again…. Luckily, didn’t blog much. this was what i wanted to blog yesterday.

Ok, let me recall what to blog….

There were many things to blog
1) stress! So many important and urgent things to do and so little time to do. The symptoms are showing, loss of hair and hormonal changes

2) Max is so cute. He can now walk independently, even if you want to hold his hands, he would not allow you to hold his hands. He shows you he can walk on his own. (sound just like my character) now has to look after him even more carefully. He enjoys the staircase and the curbs, (all the dangerous things, again sound so like me) so he enjoys walking up and down the steps, this one of course with help.

Last nite, brought them to pasar malam. Let them take a ride. I was surprised that he enjoyed it so much! He was smiling and laughing most of the time…. Too bad, my hp was on low batt, otherwise I could have captured it. His smile was so innocent. And when the ride stopped, he actually screamed and cried so loud. He is very notti, he cries so loudly until everyone looked at us.

3) of course, recent news, earthquake in Indonesia, resignation of Jap PM.

been a along time

ok, been a long time since i update.


let me see, how is life for me? great... busy with work in the day time, fetch kids back home, then busy with kids in the night time. got to balance work and children and family. not only kids need our attention, sometimes, your the other half also needs your attention too. takes two to maintain, if not, improve relationship. When all the kids are sleeping, that's the best time to catch up with your the other half. that's why children must go to sleep early.


last time when staying in punggol, a mistake to let the children sleep in the same room together with us.

good to be busy... when i'm free, i'll look to do some other things for my children, like posting video on them. i owe max a compilation of his photos. i've quite a few photos of him since young till now. i need to put them together.

and then keeping myself updated on the jolie-pitt family. check out these two photos i saved. shiloh is so cute!! i actually RSS feed the website, so that i can always have updated news on them.


ok, i've downloaded the game audtion, but it just won't start. that is something i have to solve. once i can play, or more of Marcus and Mabel can play, i'll let you all know my profile. we shall 'chiet' online.
