Saturday family day ^^

Saturday, sunny.

Bought 2 rompers for my girls as CNY sister attire ^^

Had been a while since Renee or Phoebe took a ride.... so i forked out $2 for them to have some fun... The blue car looked very stylish... but it wasn't moving much at all... still, we took our family pic ^^

These sisters continued to play together as they got home... couldn't believe that Phoebe would laugh by just looking at her sister...

Renee helped me with the pizza dough, even though that was not in my plan... since she insisted... so she has her hands washed but her feet on the silicon mat for rolling the dough.... If that's not enough... she sneezed into the dough as she rolled... and started to lick the roller.... ok that's enough... mummy shall take over from here... ; p

发发牢骚

根据没有根据的报道显示,女性的寿命一般会比男性的较长一些。其中的原因是女性比较原意表达自己的情绪。相反的,大多数的男性通常不会轻易地把心中的情绪表达出来。

打个比方,一个密封的汽水罐要是累积的气体居高不下,终就物级必反,爆开来!

为了延续我的生命,我又要在此发牢骚了。。。可是写到这里,我的思绪已经安抚下来,不想发泄了。很好。。。就这,我抱着想发牢骚的心情来到这里;然后有放下了一切。

根据没有根据的报道,被半天吊也会影响寿命。所以劝各位,别想太多了。只要把自己放下就可以释怀。毕竟,人真的太渺小了。哈哈哈!

吃饭咯!

大女已经好一阵子没有吃饭,或任何正餐了。

这个周末,老公烦恼着该带一车生病的人到哪里去。。。又不要户外,又不能太热闹。。。

想破脑袋还真是让老公找到一个好地方! 破们浩浩荡荡到了Breadtalk的总部! Surprise! ??

我是很惊喜。。。还有更惊喜的!

那就是,我们家大女自己吃饭啦!我点了鱼片汤加白饭,睿锦要我把汤淋到饭上。。。我开始还担心这个小朋友又要玩食物了。结果她就自己一口一口慢慢吃,也不让人喂。哈哈!
这个星期最开心的是老公的生日礼物搞定,再来就是睿锦乖乖吃饭了!

买 tissue?

Renee had fallen sick with fever, flu, cough and soar throat... This poor little elder sister was on her way to recovery.

Friday evening, she ran to the kitchen, with runny nose, and told me "Mommy,  买tissue...买tissue吗?"

Immediately I drew a handkerchief nearby to clean the watery mucus off her face. I told her "let's use cloth instead of tissue."

She cried loudly, stamping her feet... "ahhhhh! !! 买tissue!  买tissue! "

It took me another minute to realize Renee cakap apa!  She was hungry!!! She was actually asking for 马蹄酥!!!!

O__O"

两个小娃娃

这两周,辛苦大家了。

我家的两个小娃娃相续病倒。

很高兴他们都渐渐地康复了!

在此晒一下两姐妹的淘气照! 哈哈哈

我一个人向前冲

是的。。。

自从2011怀了睿锦至今我已经很久很久没有跑步了。

今天,为了追巴士,我跑了。从我家楼下,快步下楼再冲过两条马路,然候直奔巴士站。我做到了!安全上车。大家都看得目瞪口呆。。。怎么现在的人都不追巴士了吗?还是。。。没看过辣妈跑步的美丽姿态?嘻嘻!

睿锦上学记

大女正在适应期当中。

校长, 老师和帮手们都很热心,很有耐心地开导家长们。。。

睿锦的情况是正常的。她需要的是时间来适应这些改变。

今天,我稍微又提醒了她一下,说明天要上幼儿园找朋友玩儿,跟着老师学唱歌了。一洗完澡妈妈就会来接她下课。

她有时会撒撒娇,有时会唱起儿歌来。所然有99%她到了明天会哭着去上学;但是我发现她对于'学校'这个字的反应改善了一些。

这天晚上,睡前准备,我们照常提起了女儿关于学校的活动。突然间,爸爸问道:"睿锦, 你最喜欢哪一个老师?"

小姑娘想了想,回答:"那个大大的auntie。"

我顿时不敢带她上学了。我还真怕被那位老师打死。。。

我赶紧纠正:"Teacher Vivian"

睿锦又道:"大大的auntie! "

我这次死定了!

全家福

人生本来就有一点模糊。。。

不管什么阶段,都是朦胧的。。。

看看我的可爱帮佣帮我们照的全家福吧! ^^

Father and daughter...

Ever since Renee went to Skool,  our home had been a little quieter, although her sister, Phoebe, is still making lotsa of noise.

Ever since Renee went to Skool,  her dad had been a happy - and - sad chauffeur...

Happy that he could fetch Renee to and fro, happy that he could *zook*一下就到。

Sad that he had to pay for another $90 season parking, walk quite a bit still... pay $7 ERP to or fro or spent an hour to get stuck at Lornie Rd. ..

Nevertheless,  it's all for his precious girl... so he wouldn't mind, hor dear? (And you thought I'm going to sponsor for ya parking, right? Ok, I'll consider)

Specially when something so sweet and funny happened during the ride back home tonight...

(Quiet.... Renee was seldom quiet)

So, daddy showed some concern, "Renee,  what are you doing?"

(Still quiet...)

So daddy prompted again, "Renee, Renee, are you there? Why (you) so quiet? What are you doing?"

(Still quiet...)

Daddy persisted, "Reneeeeee. ... Ooi. ... What are you doing?"

(After a while... This cheeky girl finally responded)

"睡觉了。。。"

Can't believe that I'm the fool again...

I thought this "love" will never end... how was I to know... HAVEN'T I TOLD YOU?

Just in less than 24 hours ago, I plucked up the courage to express our views on how dissatisfied we were at the fact that toilet was over used as a "bomb shelther" where she played with her phone every day, every toilet visit, without fail. We had been closing on one eye as long as the work was done properly... but let's face it, that's not the case anymore. Besides being slow, you were messing up the priorities...

Hello, even if we didn't see it, we knew it... It's not like we will peep at you but please don't make me do it...

Which was why you were fore-warned with the courtesy of your employers... trying to give you one last chance... before I help you to safe keep your phone...

Looked like my dear friend who lived in the toilet didn't understand the consequences of taking my words on deaf ears...

Thinking that I would be shut down from the rest of the world once I confined myself in the home office? You were partially right, that happended sometimes, which gave you the wrong impression that you could mess with my warnings in less than 24 hours? Bad luck... it's just your bad luck!

You, my dear friend, went into the toilet for 45 mins, at least, and for the first 30 mins (when I already spotted you and counting the minutes) were so quiet. Bet you didn't know I'm also a quiet person? I stayed in the kitchen to "hear" you wash your clothes without a single sound.... for 5 mins.....

So I thought, okay, fine, Let's not do it the harsh way... I shall wash my hands to show you how washing sounded like in reality. So, you panic and started to move some pails ard, pretending to start washing stuff by making some noises (after 30 mins?), finally!!

You, my dear friend, really think that your employer is a fool? You came out at 12 noon (after 45 mins of washing just some clothes?) but your were last seen on WA at 11:40am? Haa... you must be kidding me! So, where should I start?

"You, finished washing the toilet?"

"No, just the clothes."

"Oh, I thought you were washing toilets... I see, please keep the door opened when (you are) washing toilets or clothes."

DO YOU GET WHAT I MEAN?

Second day of school

A sense of accomplishment...

Renee played games, sang songs, ate 2 spoonful of plain rice, took a bath, drank milk and a nap at school!!!

Okay, I need to be honest... I was the one who bathed her and both daddy and mommy took turns to pat her to zzz....

Tomorrow will be our last day as 陪读妈妈... I had mixed feelings. I would need to be at home with Phoebe. So, I wish Renee and my mom all the best!!!

May my girl turned into an independent and self disciplined girl soon.

从何开口。。。

第一次，我们开一只眼、闭一只眼。。。

因为我们想道，你一个人千里迢迢来到陌生人的家。或许需要一点空间收拾心情和适应环境。 所以，你躲在厕所里数钞票也好，数大便也罢，我们给你一点时间。

转眼间，九个月的时间一下子就过去了。。。最近有一些变本加厉咯。

竟然可以一天几回都躲到厕所里，一待就半个小时。有时更是一个小时，连个水声都没有。。。到底你是时空转移到家乡去了；还是每天都要数大便、数头发呢？

有时我会问道，“里面的你，还好吗？”

里面的她回答，“我很好。”

你他妈好还不快出来！厕所是你的房间吗？

今天，我又问了，“里面的你，还好吗？”

同样的回应 ；我忍不住了。。。

“你在里面干啥呀？”

（一滴水声也没有）“我在冲凉。” （加一点心虚的笑声）

太好了，把我们都当成白吃了。。。

我心里想：你有种就永远呆在里边儿不要出来啦！

我明白你家里有点事。我问了你又不肯说。让你放假散心你有没能恢复好好干活。我迁就你就是了吧。。。 你不想吃、我也不逼你吃。你想怎样？当我们的助养千金吗？我也想啊。。。可是我们家没那么阔呀！怎么办呀。。。

倒霉的是，有一些事，在开始时就应该纠正的；时间一久了，就难开口了。。。 我学到了。。。真的不需要为他人想太多；因为自己想的未必是对大家都好的。至少自己也不会为难了。现在我绝对有勇气开口；但是真的很害怕小宝宝会变成待罪羔羊呢！

First day at school

Some sort of school... to be exact, it was spelled as Skool ^^

I thought it went pretty good. Renee started off her day at the centre without cranky loud cries. She sat by a table of playgroup mates and all started to play in parallel.

After a while, she started to take toys from her peers without asking... uh-huh. .. she had nobody to ask when she was at home because she's the only one playing! Good lesson for her... The kids were very protective over their toys. They would shun away when a hand came "snatching"...

"Renee, if you want to play with that toys, you'll need to ask nicely...", I guided her (Teacher didn't teach this)

"Can I... pls... Thank u!" (extremely softly as if she was negotiating with ants)

"NO!", said one.... "NO!", said the other...

Hmmz... Okay, it didn't mean that you'll get what you want even if you asked. So she learnt (in fact, we learnt)... within the next 15 mins, Renee totally adopted this bad culture.... whenever a kid asked for toys, say No! She did it, too... I had to spend some time to correct her!

As I watched her play from a distance... Some kids (mainly boys) came to (harass) me...

"Teacher... See this...too too train...", went away and returned to repeat the same old thing... million times....

"Teacher... hahaha..." then ran away...

"Ah. .. grrrr. ... ohhhh...." (I didn't understand a word)

And a boy came to me with his pants (on his hand)... yes, bo cang kor... gesturing for me to help him put his pants on... I didn't even dare to turn my head around, before I could react, a teacher/helper grabbed him away..

Renee was playing well (alone most of the times), when she suddenly cried loudly for "MOMMY!!!" When I went to her, a lego brick came flying across the table hitting on her chest. It was a flying 'gift' from her classmate.... a rowdy kid who almost had troubles with all other kids. Before I flipped the table, I counted to 10 super quickly within myself and told him with a firm voice, "Hey, it's not nice to do that, please don't do it again." (BTW, the teacher/ helper didn't see and didn't do anything about it)

After this not too pleasant incident, Renee became a little unstable. Also due to her hunger and fatigue, since she woke up early and didn't take their breakfast. I brought her to a corner where she laid down for milk... Just when she was slightly calmed down, for less than 10 mins, the kids came running merry-go-round her, stepped on her hair (accidentally, of coz) and one playful bigger boy, for no good reason, stepped and fell on Renee's chest.... So, this poor little girl started crying again, saying "Mommy, pain-pain.... pain-pain....." This took me another 10 minutes to pacify her...

Most of the time, once she's fed and calmed down, she would join the kids at the table to play with plenty of toys... A sweet little jie-jie (althought she looked tiny, yes, she is a jie-jie) who was the first who talked to Renee bybasking for her name, came by and told Renee "Don't cry".... She's a very sweet girl although she didn't share her toys...

Today, Renee's first day, went through ups and downs... She had mostly fun time, playing with toys, joining their sing-along session, lunch, and story telling time... minus away the hungry+tired=cranky moments, I guessed she had done pretty well for her first day at school. I was most of the time sitting at a distance away to watch over her, hoping that she could become more independent and learn some of the good stuff from the centre.

Hope we will have better time next week... I'm still nervous... Haa!

BTW, mei-mei Phoebe woke up.early to send her sis off today... so sweet little girl ^^

Eve of First Day of School... prep!!

Mommy was certainly more excited than the girl... i kept walking Ard the house trying to figure out what was needed to be packed... and I almost labelled everything... "Renee Tay" had almost become her own brand....

Will involve Renee in packing her own bag once i get the idea of what needs to be brought... except for her snacks... because she will start to eat during packing!

Haven't been so excited for a while... May I enjoy success in my first 陪读妈妈 role tmr... freaking scary!! MGBMPP!!!!
