Jellio Jubilee Sky

This was the end of the 2nd month of swimming for the junior. Julian seemed to enjoy the lesson very much. He was very much a little confident boy in the water, able to kick from a short distance to the edge of the pool. I like the lesson being conducted at the deep pool, this give the kids a more floating feeling and making them to kick to keep themselves floating. Julian finally managed to get the stroke and squence correctly after numerous correction. Of course, making coach Andy a little impatience with his playful self. Well done Julian!

Incident #3 I always like the kids to ask each other politely if they want the other party toys or things. Julian always has things he wanted from Janelle. Its seem that Janelle always has something which he find more interesting than his own toys. He likes to ask without the magic words, Janelle at the other hand will enforce a good habit from Julian to end with a "PLEASE". She will always keeps her promise to pass the item to him when he request politely. However, that is not the case of Julian. Yesterday, Julian held on a pack of his Pokemon card that I brot from Malacca. Janelle asked if she could take a look when both kids were in the car on the way to school. Julian refused, so I asked Janelle if she has requested politely 1st. As a good behaviour trendsetter, she asked for the item and end with "PLEASE" (a magic word the kids will look out for). Yet Julian still replied "NO", straight onto Janelle. Janelle was of course turned grumpy and Julian nonc...

Law has brot back the bad habit again, despite I told him not to do it many times. Not to sleep with the kids. The kids have actually learnt to sleep on their own with each other coy but unfortunate a few special times daddy spending with them. Julian has picked up the habit to have one of us with him to doze off. Well most of the time, I am not his choice. Unless Law was on duty and he was left without any choice. These two nights I decided to take over, hoping to break the cycle. Re-training is not easy all the time. Julian, just as usual will fuss about having daddy to coy him. I asked Law to get out and try to get the kids into sleeping momentum. I told them we will have a short story session before bedtime, the story will be about baby - their childbirth story. Both kids were amazed of their own birth story, and in order for me to continue next day. I only tell them a portion of it and try making them to bed. Next day, Julian ran running to me that he wanted me to continue the bab...

Open up my shoes rack, I realised I have many pairs of shoes. High heels, low heels, platform shoes. Then the kids shoes, crocs, sport shoes, dress shoes etc. However, many of the shoes (for the kids) are too small for them. They have overgrown them way too fast before one pair can be wore out. The most logical thing is not to buy too many shoes for them but one shoes cant be wear for school, casual and function. Recently I order more shoes for the kids again. hahaha.. I got Janelle a pair of Teva and a fitflop sandal, and there is still a pair of Crocs Mary Jane waiting for her. Janelle wanted a Fitflop sandal cos it was so comfortable to her. Now she is happily wearing her FitFlop to school and we remind her that she has to take great care of this sandal and keep it indoor to prevent it from stolen away. I accidentally heard the teacher giving "Wah Woh" in the morning when she saw Janelle walking into the Childcare centre with her new purple Fitflop. Law asked if the boys h...

I was laying with Julian in the kid's room chatting with him. There was a need for me to spend more 1 to 1 moment with him, something that I owned him alot. Mum: "Julian, do u want another baby?" Julian: "Baby, where?" Mum: " Look at mummy's tummy, come and listen. There is a baby in there." Julian: "Really! let me listen." He put his ear on my tummy. Mum: "Can u hear anything?" Julian: "Yes! there is a baby in there." Janelle walked into the room, and Julian pointing to my tummy and told jie jie what happened. Janelle: "No Lah, mummy tummy doesnt have a baby. She is just fat fat." Julian: "No, there is a baby inside there." Mum: "So Julian wants a didi or mei mei?" Julian: "I want didi!" Janelle: "No, mei mei. Di di will snatch your transformer." Julian: "Oh ok, mei mei lor." Everyone laugh!

People are doing this to me again. Sometime no point to be a good people trying to offer help, when u need them to get back to you by certain time and yet they just ignored u. What does that show? I helped because you are Law's best friend's wife, else I wun even bother. W Why why? I dun understand, I kept meeting people who dun know how to appreciate. 做好人就是在浪费时间。那麽一次的经验就够了！

Incident #1 We always like the kids to be adventurous with food, so we get them to try all kinds of food as much as possible. Chilli, vege, meat, etc etc... Julian doesnt like vegetable, even with extreme rainbow mood, he will only take spring onion that is chopped into mini chocolate chip size. He claimed that he has taken his fair share of vegetable for that day. We will always let the kids taste our food when the dish was very well done. In order for Julian to try, I must be extremely lucky else he will super shut his mouth and wun open up at all. No matter how fierce I looked at him. A man with steadfast principle or simply stubborn. Incident #2 I wanted to get him a simple sport shoes for the coming Hong Kong trip, so I brot him to Bata shoes shop. Spotted a few pair which is relatively cheap and nice looking. I asked him to try, he refused! No matter how I tried talking him into it, even with Japanese sushi lunch and candy. He simply refused, he held on to his slip on tightly and...

The moment I saw the photo, I wanted to laugh it loud cos I dun remember having red ribbon on Janelle's pleats. I believe her teacher have added in for her for the shoot. Does she look familar? Do you think she look like the Little Red Soldier from the olden China? Janelle has graduated from her Kindergarten 2 education and that marks the end of one milestone and the beginning of next in the coming year. While I was still thinking how am I going to get back my childcare deposit for Janelle, I got a form from the childcare centre on the withdrawal. I am glad there is such form powered by MCYS which make it officially to the childcare. Then came another headache - when should be the last day? After discussing with Law and Janelle we decided to set the last day on 17 Dec. Yet deep in my heart I actually feel the pain to have to pull Janelle out of such a wonderful and caring center.

Finally, I get the chance to cook the Wantan that I got from Yong Peng. Infact I got 1kg of Wantan skin and distributed some to my colleagues and friends. Wanted to pass to Xian and Mum but just couldnt find a time to go over. I am just too lazy to cook much tonight, so I told Law that we will have simple steamboat instead. Did some marketing in the morning and bought some minced pork and prawn for the filing. Yong Peng Wantan Skin Minced pork and prawn. I only add 1/3 of the prawn mixed with the pork. You dun need alot of one wantan skin. This amount is just nice! Dun need much skill for a beautiful wantan. I am getting Janelle to help me with the task. Easy on the small hand. Wantan ready for boiling water. As I dun want my steamboat soup to turn milky, I pre-cooked the wantan 1st and wash them in cold water.

Just registered the PAssion FunWalk. Faith and Rayna will be going with us. Finally, the kids could attend an event like this that doesnt crush with their enrichment lesson. Cant wait to take pictures.

Everyone is talking about abacus and speed calculation and I have no idea if Julian able to understand simple addition so I decided to test him one night. I asked him how many is 1 + 1 by demonstrating below. He looked at my hands then me again with a reply. "Eleven". "WHAT" was my reponsed to his answer. Janelle was beside him and she quickly told him the correct answer which was supposed to be "2". Julian giving no puzzled look, was quick to defence his point of view. Julian: "No, not 2. Is Eleven!" Mummy: "Julian, 1 + 1. What is after 1? 1, and ..." Julian still refused to change his point of view, did not give the answer we all wished. Julian: "Is Eleven." he stressed again. I didnt give up, and thot that 1 + 1 may be gave him the visual effect of "11" that was why he thot it could be "11". I decided to try again, this time I showed him two fingers on each of my hand which made up 2 + 2 = 4. Mummy: ...

I came across this lady doing chinese calligraphy at Jonker street. What amazed me was that she lose her hand and she can still write beautiful set of words using her arm. She was offering her service to compose poem using our names for RM20 on an A4 size paper. I watched her doing on for a customer and find her so talented and quick witted to come out a nice poem incorporated with names. I can only take photos if I buy the service offer by her. I gave her mine and Law name and she came out something nice. 黄莺报喜江山美 国志凌云小桥家 勇拓人生凤比翼 天赐良缘岁光华 I suggested Sabrina to did one for herself and Mushan.

Andy had pressed on the joining of club again and I have to give him an answer by this week. If not, Janelle will have to stop attending weekday practises. Understand that Janelle cannot be going for free classes for long, since other parents are paying monthly to the club. Should Janelle? I really have no feel of the school load in the coming 2011 and since Janelle class is in the PM this make training even tougher. However, it will be a pity to stop halfway and Janelle has express interest and determination to continue her practises 3x a week. $$ is not an issue, time will be tight for me as next year will be quite different cos there will be an additional new member in the family in mid next yr. MIL will most likely busy with the new additional. How???

Every year, I dun know what kind of present I want and I will wait and see if Law really took all the hints I have given for the year. Nothing in particulars but at least a range for him to chose from, they can be very expansive to just a small gesture. All I want to know if he really noted down what I said. This year, he actually got me something I wanted and even to the type of frame as well. Finally he got it right as I nearly gave up hope on him, wish that after this episode he will never take me for granted. I got my 1st Rayban sunglasses today, as I cant take the arc sunglass cos of my face. RayBan latest collection Wayfarer suited on my well and Law managed to get the frame color that I always like very much. Polarised glasses are really different comparing to my normal Levis glasses. It dim down bright light and ability to project the color more intensively. Ever since I wore my Polarised Wayfarer I never want to go back to normal sunglasses anymore. It is really a price for go...
