Updates! Updates!
Yup have not been blogging for a while.. busy working (hahaha)
Ja's tooth finally dropped! Last Sunday was his FIRST 6th birthday celebration.. His tooth was already shaking and almost dropping in church.. I cant pluck it out for him... cos my hand grew weak.. I have this thing about blood and stuff:(
Zhihong tried to do it.. hahaha but his finger was bigger than Ja's tooth!!! Hence his one finger was holding on to at least 2 of his teeth!! OMG!
Anyway, it wasnt successful as Ja said it was painful.. Nevertheless, he was feeling quite "burdened" cos that loose tooth was really bugging him..
We went on to celebrate his birthday and had BBQ at Palm Garden with our family.. Fun and tired. His "Kampong" friends from Palm also joined us and ate up most of the ice cream cake!!!:(
(Don't know why he wanted CHICKEN LITTLE for his cake??!)
(Ja and Grandma posing)
(Ja and his Uncle Zhenjie)
(Family together!)
(Ja and his Uncles, Aunties and COUSINS!)
That very night... around 3am... Ja woke up up and said:
"Daddy, Mummie, see my tooth dropped out!"
And he was holding on to the tooth in his hand! Thank God he did not swallow it like what Ruxin did!
(See my "Boh Gey"!)
(No difference if I smile discreetly!:))
See! Ruxin you don have to worry... his lower lip is still able to cover that empty hole.. look as good as new! Just need to remind him to smile discreetly and not laugh out loud! Hahaha!
Just today, he celebrated his birthday with his classmates! This will be his last year with them as they will be graduating to Primary One next year. How time flies! It's been 4 years since he studied in Kinderland. As good as a Secondary education! Wow!
(A bunch of "Monkeys"!)
(I love my Kinderland Friends!)
Well, more celebrations this coming week! Will be celebrating my Dad's birthday together with Ja this sunday.
Tmr is Ja's actual birthday, uncle Aaron called and said he is coming back for this weekend! Yes! U didnt hear wrongly! So next Monday, Uncle Aaron will be bringing him our for an outing:) Wow! It's good to be kids:) Envy Envy!

Finally!!!
Tuesday, May 19, 2009
Finally!!! Tonight marks my last night as a FULL TIME mum::)) Gosh! Time flies but I must say it has not been easy though...
Tmr if NOTHING GOES WRONG, my helper Jona will be back from her holidays. And that will mean Peace and Joy for me and Ck again! Hehehe..
The last 3 weeks have been stretching, but I was glad I went through it, cos it really made me feel more like a mum (at least for Jewel) cos ever since she was born, Jona has been her key care-giver.
Ck and I feel really bonded to our kids now! These 3 weeks made our capacity greater.. cos we have to coax them to sleep, wake up really early, ferry them to nanny's place. fetch them back home after a day's work.. and especially Sundays, I have to single-handedly prepare everything before we set off to church!
Hahaha I know Jiaying is very sian of my bragging already:) But I must say my porridge making skills have gone up since Ja's toddler's days! Mmmm.. maybe age is catching up so my woman's cooking instincts have also gone up!
Anyway, after tonight, I won't have to ferry them to and fro everyday rain or shine.. I can also afford to work later without having to worry about putting them to bed!
The next big thing? Well. Prince Ja's birthday is coming up.. 28th May
He was so funny.. woke up really early this morning and took out our table calendar. And then he took a red pen and started to mark out his birthday and the number of times he will be celebrating his birthday.. (with his cg ie Siew Choo's cg, with Ck's family, with his classmates, and with my family!) Wow! 4 times!!!
So we are arranging for his mini party this Sunday. This time round, we plan for a family gathering as we do not wish to tax everyone of their time and $$$$! Ja has grown up and he is like Ck.. who likes small gatherings with people he is comfortable and familier with.. So guess 6 years old is a right age to down-size his party to a smaller scale! Good for me too! Phew!
But those close uncles and auntys out there, do help me encourage him by wishing him a happy birthday when u see him in church ya?
Toodles!
P.S. I can start wearing nicer for svcs now that Jona is back! Hee hee!

It's dropping soon!

Ja is going to experience his first ever "Boh Gey" season!!
We were watching tv when he suddenly turned around and showed me his shaking tooth.. the bottom front tooth...
Initially I didnt take much notice as he has been telling me his tooth is shaking but really it wasnt..
But yesterday as I tried to feel it, it was really shaking!!! Oh Gosh! My first thoughts were.. "What should I do? It has been 20 plus years since I dealt with shaking teeth!!
Anyway, he was very funny cos he didnt dare to eat apples though he very much wanted to eat! And every minute or so, he would go in front of the mirror to view his shaking tooth and went around Palm Garden to ask everyone to try "shaking" his tooth.
Guess he is very excited about his first tooth drop!
So friends out there, take more pictures of him before he turns "Boh Gei"... you know.. the season of every child when most of the time he/she will be smiling with one or two missing teeth!
Erm... should I start sending invitation for "Tooth Fairy" to come soon????........

Happy Mothers' Day!
Monday, May 11, 2009
Mothers' Day this year is a different one for me! Of course there is one more little one to celebrate with me... which i doubt she knows what's going on too!
Secondly, I didnt get to really 'enjoy' cos was busy with the 2 kiddos.. Bathing them, cooking lunch 4 the little one, packing the bags, dolling up myself and then driving them to church! Phew! I told Jiaying i felt like a wonder woman today! Everything was done at a very fast speed!
Thirdly, Ja started to drop me little cards and love letters as early as last week! He is sooo sweet! Instead of passing me the cards personally, he would drop them at the mail box and told me i've got mail! Of course, i pretended i didnt know what was going on and acted really surprised!
He also made me a flower from straw and paper.. Guess this is the reward of seeing my labour into fruition when this boy has now grown to be a young man who can write and do handicrafts already!
Didnt really celebrate much today.. We just went to Jurong Point to eat n buy groceries as usual..
Ja had a very funny conversation with us yesterday.. We were planning to bring him to the zoo on Mon. Hence we made some rainy day plans.
Ja: 'ok, our plan A will be to the zoo.. but if it rains, let's have plan B and C! Plan B is that we will stay home and mummy will cook rice for us! Plan C will be that we stay home and mummy will cook spaghetti for us! Yeah!'
DUH???!!! Do i look like Aunty Jona???

Not Again??!!
Tuesday, May 5, 2009
Just when I thought the worst is over.... as in Jew's fever finally subsided and diarrhoea finally ended.....
Ja is now burning HOT!! Wow.. At this rate I am going, I may be next! Really SIAN man!
Right now as I am blogging, Jew just fell asleep.. (she fell from her play pen earlier!!! OMG!!! This girl is so "Sam Seng"! She was trying to climb out of the pen as she didnt want to sleep!! Boy did she WAILED! But think it's a good lesson learnt for her as she really not scared of anything one! SIGH!!
As for Ja, he is burning with a temperature of 39 degree! Still not too high like Jew's fever.. Anyway, he is moe co-operative and will allow me to sponge him..
But it was quite funny cos I knew he kana the fever as his friend offered him Honey Stars on the school bus..
He always have this thing with Honey Stars or other flakes.. Each time he eats just a tiny winy bit, he will be down with fever..
He didnt believe me though.. and always thought a bit wont kill....
This time round he knew it!!! Ah ha! And yet he kept saying it was Jewel's fault for passing the germs to him! This boy!!
Anyway, Ja is very freaked out by the Swine flu outbreak.. and kept asking if his and Jew's flu is the "old" one or "new" one... He said the old one wont die but the new one will!
Hahaha.. thought thats quite funny though!
Well, this must be really test of motherhood part 2! Thought I had passed part one years ago with Ja.. Guess this module never will end for as long as I live!
Jaja please get well soon!

3 Days!!
Saturday, May 2, 2009
Day 3 has passed since i resumed to the previous lifestyle of not having a helper around.. only difference is I m now having 2 kiddos tagging along instead of just one Ja in the past!
Well, things are good so far.. just that Jewjew fell sick and is running a high fever of 39.8 degrees!!!
That day Jona left, I sent her to the airport at 3am.. came back around 5am... woke up by Jewjew at 8am.. and just before I sent the kiddos off, IT STARTED TO RAIN CATS AND DOGS!!!
Wow! What a test!
Anyway, I sent Ja to Aunty's place for his schoolbus... and then brought Jewjew to the doc in the midst of the heavy rain! After an eventful morning, I went to off to work..
That was Day 1...
The next day, Ja missed his schoolbus!! I had to rush down to Aunty's place to drive him to school.. Then "deposited" Jewjew there... went home to do some laundry and chores... then went to cg...
That was Day 2...
Yesterday, I wanted to put the 2 kiddos at my mum's place so that I could meet my clients...
Nevertheless, Jewjew started to have high fever!!!
In the end, I stayed to take care of her, went home with Jewjew as Ja stayed over at my mum's place..
Still burning hot!!! Hence, I had to sponge her and sponge her till she went back to 37 plus degrees.. Phew! I almost sent her to KK Hospital!!!
Then I did laundry, washed some stuff, did some chores and with Jewjew sleeping now, I can finally BLOG!!!
Well, that was how I spent my 3 days maidless.. quite enjoyable thus far.. A bit deja Vu as I was reminded of those days with Ja years ago..
I must say the vocation of a HOME MAKER is definitely not easy! But yet again, if I had the option of a stay home mum, I would gladly OPT for it! Cos the rewards of being there all time for your kiddos and upkeeping your own house are so satisfying!! In fact I was just telling Jiaying that I don't mind being a stay home mum!
But yet again, we have to face reality.. The reality that I need to WORK to maintain our lifesyle.. Well, balance is the key to life! Let me try to balance things out for the next 18 days to come!
Before I end, I must give credit to Ja! He is such a good Gorgor.. when I needed to bathe and there was no one at home, he would entertain his meimei for that 20 min shower I took by doing all sorts of stuff like singing, dancing, making animated sounds, playing hide and seek!! And Jewjew simply loves to be entertained by her gorgor! Just as long Ja doesn't always keep kissing and hugging her:)
Jaja, Well done!
Jewjew, GET WELL SOON!!
Eve, Hang on there!
