阿老不在家 - Week 3, finally!

Time is a unit of life, said Lucy, the lame movie.

The more miserable you have lived, the longer you will feel that you have lived... And vice versa.

During the beginning of Lulu's reservist, time seemed to have slowed down... Day after day after day...

The second week past pretty quickly even without any interesting weekend outings for the girls. Not even a picnic or a swim ~,~ just a walk downstairs.

Followed by making of CNY goodie. Could have a few more pieces of Phoebe hadn't mashed them in between her tiny but strong palm.

The third week went in a flash, it's not like we are enjoying ourselves so much that time ticked away quickly... Somehow, everyone had wished for the time to past faster so that Lulu can be back to see his girls (incl me) real soon!

So, when I said real soon, did I say it's tmr? Hahaha!! Good thing I had gotten him his Brown bear who shared the same Bday ^,^

The girls had their fun night bonding/ playtime as usual. Not a fan of thumb sucking... But babies just seem to love it @_@

With occasional fights over wet toys... Hmmz...

Dear's outfield breakfast, lunch and dinner... I must say that NZ has the most wonderful welfare, even if the weather ain't at its best...

If you think the outfield ration food sucks, check out the breakfast view from the tank. Beautiful sunrise, a promising day. Priceless!

Lulu's dessert... And supper snacks... Sure you are doing reservist?

Look at lulu (before) 风度翩翩

Now, look at Lulu (After the snacks and desserts that kept him warm during the wind-blow-blow-freaking-cold nights) 脸圆圆咯！

8th ICT is coming to an end. Can't wait to hug my beefed bear on Friday!!! Congratulations to Lulu, I'm so proud of you ^,^

An Interview with a Log

It was an interesting conversation, even though it was more of a one-directional communications.

The log shared, we listened. With an occasional stiff smile out of politeness.

We debated but to no avail. It's a norm. I just got too complacent after some time and forgot how it worked. It didn't take me too long to recall the best protocol to get out of the awkwardness.... 

To be honest, I was slightly depressed after hearing the "unspoken thoughts" but I quickly picked myself up (at least I recovered faster than my even way more depressing appraisal) to reflect on what do I do next...

It's really simple to straighten out the thoughts... 

Firstly, we can't please the whole world! You can't disagree with this, can you?

Secondly, most of people could only judge others but not themselves. That's why it's important that we accept feedback with an open mind and heart. Though I'm still working on this, I truly value whatever my ears received today.... it's a privilege! 

Thirdly, whatever type of feedback it is, that's solely a personal opinion of an individual based on, potentially, a biased perspective. We ought to make our own judgement call by processing them.

Lastly, it is what it is. We are all trying our best to love somebody, in our own ways.

In a nutshell, I would say that I am proud of my girls and I know that I will continue to feel the same way for the rest of the years to come. Which parent doesn't? Well, I guess I know one... but hopefully one day, something will change that mind. ~HLLY~

阿老不在家-Week2,Day1

"Good morning! Enjoy your breakfast!"

This was what I would send before I turned in whenever I slept late... Very late.

"Good afternoon! How was your lunch?"

This was what I would usually ask whenever I woke up...

"Good night and Jiayou!" Whenever I picked Renee up from her nursery class.

Dear's reply? "I am outfield"

Guess I only figured out that outfield meant he's not going to have his breakfast, lunch and dinner... Or even sleep? I have no idea what outfield is about... I shall find out more when dear is back...

So in day 1 of week2 since Dear had gone to serve the country, in another country... Phoebe missed her daddy too much...

Putting the doodling on our tiles aside... Yes... She did that... She's the first who did that to our house...

We went to The mall downstairs this evening for a walk as it's my FIL's Bday. They went to BHG and Phoebe started shouting "Papa! Papa!" When she saw the "Obama-looked-alike" poster of a man in Renoma underwear... Seriously, that model looked more like Obama than Lulu... But Phoebe called him papa so loudly and so many times... T_T"

We exchanged wefies and selie so that the girls got to see daddy... Although Lulu looked very exhausted and hagard, the scenery was really great... So so so cool!!!

Lastly, i just want to tell Lulu that life is great here. Everything is the same including my performance appraisal meaning that my pay will remain the same, too. Let's cope with the fact and move on. Jiayou ^^

琦琦与我

之前，还以为睿锦长得像我。毕竟有人是这么对我们说的。

直到琦琦出世，我一看就知道，小女真的会像我。。。NPNT, 你们看看吧！

就连大女看了都以为是妹妹。哈哈哈！

阿老不在家-周末篇

Today started off pretty fun when I bathed both kids together for the first time... Haa! I should do that more often since they could have fun with bubbles together. Haha!!

Followed by Water parade... 

Everything was okay until I had to drive to city...

Seriously, I didn't enjoy driving at all. Why the hell did I get a license for? Although it was great convenience to chauffeur kid to school and to outings on weekends. 

It took me a few rounds to get familiarize with the routes... So, when daddy had gone to serve the country, I truly miss him even way more when I got onto the road...

We made it to Marina Square despite a little bit of holland. What? It's just MS!!! holland 个屁！shit happened...

The kind of relief when seeing the mall was more exciting than getting a parking lot. Wahahah! You could tell from everyone's expression.

Return was also an exciting journey, when my co-pilot actually pointed me a different way. I want to thank the 非常热心 taxi driver for reminding me about the headlights by stopping my car, alighting from his and literally told me on the road. Hahaha. Shit happened way too often. Just like Renee had pooped twice today!!

Anyway, I was really glad to get what I had wanted to from John Little today. 

So happy now but I would need a cup of warm milk to calm myself from this exciting weekend. I want to be 宅女and stay at home all day lonnnnng T_T

P/s: 阿老，我已经把我们家auntie 洗得亮晶晶了。嘻嘻！

阿老不在家 - week 1

Dear will be outfield starting tmr, from 17th till 25th Jan, good 9 days!!!

Every time after a skype session, we will miss him even more!!! Yesterday, Renee went to her kitchen set and said she wanted to cook fries and burger for daddy. LOL >,<

So, our girls had been self entertaining all the time when daddy was away ;p

Jiayou, dear! We will also Jiayou at home... Hahaha! ^^

阿老不在家 - Day2 and Day3

Day2 - we skyped!!

Phoebe and Renee called PAPA so dearly!! Dear looked so tired. Need to be up from 5:30am till late night... Jiayou oh!!

Day3 - Renee asked "where is papa?" In the middle of her play with Phoebe

So this poor girl had cough and slight flu became so exhausted after her 4 hour nursery class.

Renee's conversation with Phoebe

R: "Phoebe, drink your milk!"

P: "huh? orh..."

R: "Phoebe, 你要不要喝？"

P: "orh, 不要不要！"

Although they are still learning to share and play together, I am glad to watch them spending time with each other ^^

Dear, Jiayou!! Your girls are missing you dearly!!!

阿老不在家

阿老为国民服役3周。

我们一家女子们自得其乐！

非常感谢来帮助的家人们！

不知不觉

小琦不知不觉地一天天长大。。。

现在1岁5个月的她已经学会了许多词汇。

这天晚上，我们在房间里一起唱歌、说了说三字经。怎知道原来她会一点点哦！

人之？--- 初！

性本？ -- 善！

性相？ -- 近！！！

习相？ 。。。（只跟我傻笑。）

苟三字经不？ 。。。（继续傻笑。）

性乃？ -- 迁！

教之？ --- 道！！！

贵以？ 。。。 （去跟鸭子玩儿了！）

过后我再一次尝试。

人之？。。。 妈妈，娃娃！

人之？。。。 娃娃！！！

接着的5分钟我都在重复地唱着小琦的最爱 --- 泥娃娃！

哈哈哈！

A hug and a kiss

Despite the dark clouds...

I had received a kiss from Renee and a hug from Phoebe... They are now the pillars of my support ^^
