Nice Monday!

Recently Ja boy seems to be getting frustrated easily... guess cos me and ck not spending much time with him:(
Hence on Monday, we decided to end our work earlier (anyway I was not feeling well) and we went to fetch him from school (He was overjoyed!!). Then after which we brought him to his favourite Vivo city..
Actually we always do the same thing @ Vivo. I guess it's the time spent together that's more important. It's always dinner @ ck's favourite (jia xiang mian - sarawak noodles) located next to kopitiam, followed by 2 coffee takeaways @ Starbucks and then proceed to the play ground for Ja.
After that we went to his favourite Toys 'r' us to LOOK @ toys (no buying) b4 eating his kids's meal @ BK.
That's all we did and we spent about 4 hours there! BUt it's all worth it cos Ja boy was definitely very happy and satisfied.
Think it's soo important to spend quality time with them. It will raise up confident, happy and secure kids with a good self esteem. All that are needed to give them a good headstart to life!!:)
See how happy he was!!!:))
Of course, we told him poor Jewjew waiting for him at home so he eagerly went home to play with his meimei and posed for pictures with her!

(Mmmm... so satisified:)
Talking about Jewjew, really thank God we have a good maid to take care of the 2 kids, cook for them, bathe them send Ja to school, run errands for us.etc etc.
Of course if you asked me is she perfect? OF course not!!! I can always list down 101 things that I can point out to her. But yet again, I always ask myself: "Will I be able to live up to my own expectations and getting paid for just $350 a month??!!" That thought alone brings more grace and compassion to my heart.
Just last Sun, one mother in nursery commented that she doesn't like the look of my maid, saying that she feels my maid, Jona doesn't love Jewjew. I asked her why and she said cos Jona is always asking Jew to sleep sleep sleep! Oh gosh! I 'm like "DUH!!!" Cos if Jew doesn't sleep then she will be cranky after svc and we normally need to stay longer in church.. in fact, it was I who wants Jew to rest more!
Anyway, that lady mentioned that my maid has got a BF and so on... Well, if she doesn't bring these stuff back to my house.. who am I to interfere and decide for her life? For $350???!
We don't even do that for our church members let alone a maid!
Come on, as long as your helper fulfils what you expect and doesn't cross any boundaries, don pick on them! remember it's only $350, not $350,000!!!
(anyway... this mum just recently changed her maid....mmmm?
Like what ck's aunt always said, "Respect them and they will respect you! Treat them as your family and they will do likewise in return."
(ps) anyway the best way to see if your mail ill treats your children is to see how they respond to her.....
