boys

2006-09-06T20:23:00.000+08:00

It's the Sept hols. Signed the boys up for chess course in Goldhill Plaza. It is not easy as the course runs for 5 consecutive days. Today is only Wed and both Agnes and i are getting sick of United Square! At least the boys are enjoying themselves and can play a decent game of chess. After 1.5 hours of plying chess in school come home still want to play!
on an unrelated topic, I seriously feel it would be for the better if M does not come to HG as much! maybe from Wed to Fri? Hates it when she runs me down in front og my sons! makes me feel useless, incompetent, inferior.... no wonder I have no confidence in my coaching skills, in things that i do..she is DAMM BLOODY NEGATIVE! I AM GETTING SICK OF HER RUNNING ME DOWN! I do not feel I am the mistress of my house, everything I do is useless, I cannot mop my floor clean, cannot wash the boys clothes clean, they are not white enough, cannot teach the boys correctly, cannot control the boys..... I wonder what have i been doing!!!!DAMM SICKENING

2006-08-21T09:55:00.000+08:00

Thank goodness A is better now. The family recently caught the stomach flu virus. for the whole of last week, Z, me, the boys and even mummy took turns for fall sick! thank goodness everyone's well now..and it all started with little Nat!
Z has been acting up lately..I supposed the TT( terrible twos, threes) He has been throwing temper at will, favourite being " i don't want!" and "go away!" Very trying times indeed. last night only had like 2 hours of sleep cos he had nightmare and refused to be pacified! have to pat him all the time! somehow do not remember the 2 bigger ones being like that! but Dom would said that they were like that, except the i have forgotten abt it! perhaps!
bought the 2 bigger boys to sentosa on B's b-day. Edna came along. It's been a long time since the boys went out with her and both were clamering for her attention! you wish there was 2 of her! poor thing! it must have been overwhelming! nonetheless, we all had a good time. the luge was the best! underwater world was a nice surprise with all the changes. expensive trip though...spent abt $130.
It was funny how B insisted on a b-day cake! he said that without it, the b-day celebration is not complete! He commented that we did not sing the b-day song properly, did not sing 'happy birthday brendan' in the song. but added that it is alright and we can make up for it next year!
on Sat, brought them to the newly renovated tiong bahru market. it is better than before, airy and more seats. B loved the chwee kueh, ate abt 3. both B and A ate 3 chicken wings..something new tt A discovered and loves! took them to the night safari after dinner1 it was a nice surprise for them.
all in all, after the horrible sick week, the weekend from fri onwards was nice afterall!

2006-08-04T09:35:00.000+08:00

I am very and happy to say that Z is very settled in school, and that is, after only a week! He could tell me'bye, havea good day' to me when I send him to school. no crying at all! all the teachers were amazed that he settled down so easily. one other girl who was there 2 weeks before him, is still crying and either her maid or her mom has to be with her...till his day! not say i want to say....yeh Z!
A is up to no good recently. teacher gave him the 'model student award' for jul. there after for the whole week, he misbehaved in school and at home. first shouts when singing the national anthem, played in the toilet, refused to admit his mistake, got his name written on the white board (he would have less outdoor time as a punishment) and the last straw, urinated in his pants during computer lesson- and he did not bother to tell teacher, continued to sit on his pee and played on the computer! whatsup with him man! asked him why, he said 'i don't know'...can die boy!
hopefully things would be better from today onwards! I just think they(the boys) take turns to irritate you...sigh....

First Day of School

2006-07-17T23:23:00.000+08:00

It was Z's first day of school today. At home, he looked forward to going. While I was bathing, he was already carrying his sch bag, asking if i am ready to go! hwr, when we reached sch, he did not want to go in and was very sticky to me. had to sneak out at 10. apparently he asked teacher :' is mummy coming later?'
went back to observe him after sending A to sch. he was having luinch. ate on his own...rather, 40% of it. saw him trying to reach out for a slice of apple (which was placed quite high in a container..teacher called him an apple thief!!) he hit and snatched for his classmate over some crayons...made her cry even more!(she was crying from the time she stepped into sch!)
i supposed he is not used to sharing as at home, his 2 big brothers tend to give way to him. he later snatched toys from some other bigger children...sigh....
anyway, see how tmr....

2006-07-10T19:53:00.000+08:00

It's been what? 2 months? must be the holidays! too stressed out trying to entertaining them, end up not blogging!
got the boys, at the the 2 big ones interested in doing the HAMA beads. since then have spent about $200 buying the various coloured beads and and shapes! thank goodness for the GSS, there was a 15% discount, else might have cost more!
horrible as it sounds, got B into the habit of doing assessment everyday! poor thing one might think! he finishes one english, math and chinese assessment each in like half an hour! (only that i do not have the time to correct..or too lazy lah! but generallyt he gets it correct...)
B learning to get his bronze medal for his swimming. maybe he will take a year...but who is chasing him? thinking of sending Z for swimming lesson. thinks he might be able to do it.

Exams..exams...exams...

2006-05-02T15:54:00.000+08:00

B just finished his english and chinese oral. his compo exam is tmr and written papers next week. freaked out last week when checking through his work and he told me he does not know 6-4 and 13 -5! help..... best part is, when i asked B what is 6-4, A told me the answer!
he has these sort of questions for exams(based on last year's paper) : fill in the blanks with + or -; 6_ 3 = 15 _ 6. sigh...how does one expect a pr 1 to understand the concept of = ? they are just learning + and -!
at least now he is doing some assessment books and even influencing A to do his!
last week, Z had red eyes, apparently viral infection. ok now. yesterday A had some red spot in the right eye which grew bigger this morning. doc said tt it cld be because he coughed too hard! and i think i am coming down with flu! must have caught it from the boys! better start eating Vitamins!

Toa Payoh being invaded

2006-04-06T15:19:00.000+08:00

Helped B's teacher today when the class went to Toa Payoh for a 'learning journey' of the neighbourhood. Imagine 36 boys with only 4 adults! and that was only one class. for the past 3 days, 3 classes of P1 boys have been going down to Toa Payoh.
It was a riot, just having to handle one class. hats off to his form teacher!
First we make our way to NTUC. on the way there, we spotted a rat. the boys ran after it and wanted to catch it! at the NTUC, while the manager was trying to brief the boys, many were distracted. could the the poor man turning green! and B's class was the first class he briefed. imagine 2 more! the experience must have swear him off children for a while! theboys were given $3 to do some grocery shopping that the mum instructed them. however, seeing the things that they were supposed to buy and things that they want to buy and with a limited buget, many choose to ignore mummy's shopping list and buy their own things instead! does this reflect their future actions? ignore mummy and choose to do what they want instead. sigh....
at this point, it is abt it is only 10am and the 3 mummys are tired already!
after that, we had snacks and then was to go to HDB Hub to visit the HDB gallery. the air-con cooled us down, got the boys more hyper. while at the 'fabric of a nation' exhibition, managed to occupied the boys by asking them to look for various items on the fabric! thereafter was a walk around the town centre. of course these precious boys complained of the heat, tiredness, etc etc!
notheless, we made our way safely back to school, with dog poo(simeone accidentally stepped on it, causing the bus to stink!)
now teacher say Sept there is a trip to the zoo and she needs our help!...heeelppppppppp!

2006-03-30T21:54:00.000+08:00

So stressful. with all the HFMD going around. Have been helping out with temperature taking in A's kinder for the past 2 weeks. I must say that he is rather happy that i go and help out in the school. Seeing him sing during assembly, he is so different from B. where B has the don't care less attitude when singing, A puts his whole heart and soul into the singing!
Today, just got to know that one kid in A's class has HFMD. add to it, 2 of B's classmates have it too....stress.....
since incubation is abt 1 week, if they were to have it, it would manifest around now!

2006-03-19T21:11:00.000+08:00

nice end to a nice one week long holiday. after celebrating pa's B-day at BL, took the boys to clark quay to watch the st patrick's parade. was quite simple, but joyful and colourful enough. the only day when i think the men would wear the green hat...
of course, the boys would want to take the bum boat after that. sea was quite choppy but a nice ride, nonetheless. the bum boat driver kept on asking us if we want to take photos and he would walk towards us to point out the sights! so kind of him.
took the boys to CBC again to play at the beach. Z did not dare to step on the sand initially. kept on telling me that his hands and legs are dirty! only managed to conqure his fear when i had to get the boys out to bath and change! next time, Z boy!
only horrible thing that happened, somehow a crocoach managed to get into the car and as i was abt to come out of the car, the stupid thing crawled onto my legs...yew....still shudders thinking abt it. that's why Dom had to go and fetch mummy..did not dare to drive the car tonight!

2006-03-18T22:50:00.000+08:00

Phew, tmr last day of sch holidays. Must say though, this one week have been rather fulfilling. Brought the boys to stay at Changi BC. Though Z was totally excited and refused to sleep on the first night (which frustrated D totally) the next night was ok as he was tired out. The boys and i got burnt swimming (the tan was much needed). Z really daring and he loved the water alot. he wanted to go on the slide with the brothers. the boys also had fun bowling- rolling and throwing the ball!
The next day (Tue) celebrated A's birthday with some friends and relatives(Licia) at the clay modelling shop in Serangoon gardens. a cosy affair, only 10 children and their moms. the children made fridge magnets. I think everyone had fun.
Wed was my own time. went marina sq with petsim and bought a MP3 for dom in creative. very tempted to buy the speakers for the tv, only $300+ for 5 speakers and woofer - backside itchy!
Thurs bought the 2 big boys to CBC again with Matthew to swim. cld not bring Z as he was having a cold! get even more burnt!
Fri was spent in Sentosa, though only 3 hours. found Edna and her friend, Jenny at the beach and the boys decided to spent their time playing the sand and water. Got lagi burnt! but i think the boys loved it!i think we are now the 'chow-tar pancake' family, like what the boys say!
A loved his birthday presents, esp all the legos. got 3 knights kindom and 1 bioncle at the last count! (four more unopened presents as of today!) thanks for your prezzies. i love it! - A

2006-03-02T15:13:00.000+08:00

Totally enjoyed my makan and drink with Edna on 28th Feb. The shopping was good too. Dom likes the shirt, esp the stripped one..Good taste Ed! Still thinking of the clogs, considering buying it!
Apparently the boys missed me when I was away. B actually asked me why I went home so late the next morning!
It is amazing how a little bribe caould inspire the boys to be better behaved. A was constantly reminding B to do his work properly and not to fuss so that mama can buy a toy for him! In his words, 'kor you cannot say cannot do, cannot do ok? or else mama won't buy toys for you!' mummy was baffled. she could not remember when she had said she was going to buy a toy for them!

2006-02-24T16:12:00.000+08:00

finished Ed's present at last. i must say for first timers...not too bad lah!
the boys finished their homework earlier today! yeh! no major fuss, no quarrelling... so peaceful... thank goodness.
don't know why, but the boys cannot wait for their teeth to drop out. keeps on saying, 'soon my teeth would be loosen and will drop out!" must be alot of their friends have their teeth dropped out and they can't wait for theirs to do the same! At least in B's class, the teacher is keeping a journal of whose tooth have been dropping inthe class portal! very funny accounts!
The boys are falling sick again, A's coughing, B's having a running nose and Z's coughing! and i can feel the flu bug ascending upon me..hope we would be ok on Sun.
some of the B's classmates' mums organising a gathering tmr....might not be able to make it...sigh...

2006-02-21T15:25:00.000+08:00

brought the boys bowling yesterday at Safra Yishun. They have bumper lanes for the children so that the ball does not go into the longkang. B managed to do an average of 60 while A did 50. not bad for first timers. in one occassion, A's ball got stuck! rolled too slowly lah! I think they had fun! might do a bowling birthday party for A next month.
Z having an infection. Fever comes and goes. did not sleep at all the night before. i had to carry him to sleep, when i released my hands off, he woke up.Z only allowed me to sleep when the alarm went off at 5.30 am! sigh.....

2006-02-18T10:56:00.000+08:00

Arrrr....making sure the boys do homework can be world war 3! can die asking them,esp A to do can shorten my life by one year! he has the heart to do, but punture easily. i think he pressures himself too much. he cried during phonics class on Wed cos he said he cannot worte nicely.. i guess he feels he cannot write as nice as B! i head big big, don't know how to assure him!
taped up the boys' big green Lego container last week cos they was not helping. told them cannot playwith lego for a week. today started pesturing me for it! told them can only have it after completing homework. they trying to finish up fast now!but A is full of grumbling as he does his...keeps on saying he cannot write properly!

2006-02-14T20:57:00.000+08:00

brought the boys to the barber today! i swear he was having a peaceful time until the goh boys invade his shop and he did not not know what hit him! Z has a more boyish cut now.. no one better ask me if he is a girl! I was having lots of that question...rubbing salt into wound...
i ahve been watching replays of the chingay everyday since the 4 Feb! aren't they ever sick of it? esp Z! sigh.... B just had he first chinese test on Mon and i totally forgot abt it until Mon morning! I good or what? he steady only. got 14/15. not bad considering no revision at all. still brought them swimming on Sun! If Dom knows that i forgot abt the test....sure kena fired!
B's teacher on the ball. set up a class portal for the class. will blog daily on what happened and the homework to be done!

2006-01-05T23:29:00.000+08:00

3rd day of school is over. the 2 boys could not be more different. whilke B was a;lright the first 2 days, he fussed this morning, did not want to go to sch. until i said that i copuld send him to sch, then he calmed down. and when he said he wanted to be early in reaching sch and i told him i might be later if i drive, he then told me, come mummy lets go, else we would be late! so funny! i supposed he just wants some assurance!
as for A, he could not wait to go to sch. from 9.30 am, keeps on asking if it is time to change uniform. then asked if teacher would still be there, whether teacher would have gone home! i supposed he is used to the child care time, 11 am seemed so late compared to 9 am. he seemed much more participative compared to B. even if he does not know the words to the song, he seemed happy just following the actions. said did not like the first 2 days of sch cos sch is so short (only 1.5 hrs) and did not eat anything in sch! today he had a full day and was happier! funny boy!

2005-12-14T21:32:00.000+08:00

Finally successfully baked my first fruit cake. the first one was a flop. sotongly taught the temperature was 285 degrees C. Guess what, was 285 degrees Farenheit! and so the cake was burnt! sigh...what a waste of raisins, currents, sultanas and brandy! Ju you come back, I bake one for you to eat!
Boys fell sick again..all three took turns to be neubralised. luckily now ok. brought the two big boys to see the music school. now B wants to learn the piano and A wants to learn the violin.see how la..let A learn the piano firs, then convert to violin?

2005-12-03T17:27:00.000+08:00

now i only blog once in like, half a year of more? can't wait for Ju to come back! less than 2 months more.... sure quarrel more!
sigh, now A down with gastric flu, Z with flu and B with threatened bronchilities. if B does not get well by Wed, Dr Heng wants him to go for X-ray! B just read this over my shoulder and protests about going to the X-ray portion! Have to neubralise him 4 times a day, 6 am, 12 noon, 6pm and midnight! poor boy and poor me, have to do it with him half asleep and you know how difficult it is!
A so cute, commented about Dr Heng putting things in his backside. the poor boy got himself lost in Robinsons 3 days ago! quite tramatic for him and me, but i think he took it quite weel.
As for Z, he is very fussy these days. will only wear the cow sandals and nothing else. will insist of changing by going to the bathroom himself and taking/attempting to take off his cloths. the latest that he is ding today, climbed onmy brown sofa and tried to open the boys' room door. i stared and him and he can tell me "open door". my goodness, what would he be up to next?

2005-02-20T23:53:00.000+08:00

Discover Danny's blog. so funny! enjoyed going there!!
Brendan really has creative ways of trying to get out of trouble. today, he and Aidan played water in my toilet sink! played until one side of his pants was wet. when my mother-in-law asked what happened, he told her innocently,"i played so much until my sweat dripped down onto my pants." ai ya, what can you say to that? 10 points for innovation, no points for lying to grandma!
had a heavy weekend. attended 2 lessons on being a coach, ended up thinking alot about self, ie where do i get my energy from?what motivates me? and many more... cheem la, life....

2005-02-17T22:41:00.000+08:00

omg..has it been a year since i last blog?..sigh..super busy...
what's happening? the boys are alright. growing, supposed! Zachary has managed to get himself out of the high chair and stroller despite being strapped in! must be something about being born in the year of the monkey! the poor boy has now got to be put in the play pen, or else how i get to do some work? poor thing.. then again, who asked him to climb? he is learning to walk now. once in a while will let go hands...not much though! just realised that he quite 'hum sub' like to play with baby girls! in church like that, outside see other babies also like that!
Aidan was so sweet that day. saw me putting clothes in the washing machine to wash, asked me, 'mummy while you put so much sugar in the washing machine?' after starting the washing manchine and while i was preparing Zachary's lunch, realised that there was no noise coming from him. went to look for him in the toilet, saw him scooping the soap powder. asked him what he was doing, said that he is helping mummy to scoope sugar to wash his clothes....how to scold him for playing with the soap powder, he was only trying to help!
Brendan was quite sweet over the new year, wanted to give everyone 2 oranges when we went visiting to each house. end up on the first day, started with 12 oranges, ended with 4. on the second day, started with 10 oranges, ended with 6 only!!!!
the 2 big ones seemed to be coping quite well with their extra classes.just that it is tiring sending them and keeping track of their homework that is tiring. poor Brendan complained that he now has 3 sets of homework to do! Catholic kindergarten on Fridays, phonics on wed, chinese on thur...
Oh, Brendan did a 'chun lian' of sorts before the new year and he hung it at my mother-in-laws ' house. thought it was 'wu he sui hua' (when Edna saw it thought might be nian instead of wu, not the either makes any meaning!) when Dom's uncle saw in, being the illeterate that he is when it comes to chinese, he thought my mother-in-law bought it from somewhere!

2004-12-16T01:29:00.000+08:00

B so sweet lor. yesterday when my FIL(father-in-law) rested at my place, he coughed quite a bit. my dear son heard it, ran to the grandfather and told him, grandpa hyou cough.. so must drink the honey. then you can speak again! so sweet! mummy said my FIL was very touched!! sigh, sweet talker lor!

2004-12-13T16:37:00.000+08:00

Put up the tree with the boys on Sat. the stars turn out nice, the 3-D ones. the felt stars, felt it was flat! ha ha! will try to take a snap shot of it on mummy's camera and try to put it up!
Z is cutting his first tooth! had a runny cum block nose the whole of last night. poor baby! poor me also, did not sleep the whole night. had to carry him upright and trying to get him to sleep! hope he would be better tonight!
would be busy for the next few days until sunday at suntec. hope the booth would work out! hopefully can get contacts and sells the products and maybe cover the cost of rental of the booth!
still have not finish the christmas shopping! with the suntec thingy coming up, my in-laws just back from their long holidays...it's a wounder if i can finish shopping by next week! always like this ...sigh...think have lots of time, but end up things happen and will 'pia' last minute! lucky bought some already!

2004-11-30T23:53:00.000+08:00

It's been a long time...brought the boys to see sesame street live. all of them enjoyed it, even Z. i think he was attracted by the movement on stage, clours and songs. the 2 big ones? most happy when they sang the alphabet song and when cookie monster sang his 'c is for cookie song'!
z is now sitting up very steady on his own. attempting to crawl on fours. tried doing it on his pj tonight and grew a 'bua-lu-ku' instead! had a big knock on his head on the floor! poor thing.
yesterday on the way home from school, A talked to one indian foreigner worker at the lift lobby. as i walking from the car to the lift looby, i could hear B telling him, Aidan don't talk to stranger! mummy, aidan is talking to stranger..could also hear aidan asking him, are you a stranger? sigh. after trying to teach a at home not to talk to strangers, his answer? if i talk to strangers, they will catch me, then i cannot see papa, mummy, ma ma and kor kor? then B added on, cannot also see zachary you know? poor aidan. he look so sad and then turned to say, sowe mummy, i don't talk to strangers again, ok?

2004-11-07T21:13:00.000+08:00

wah very long never post already. computer crashed. have to get Daniel to save it!
now no maid already! very busy being a maid. actually much happier this way... once i can get over the stage of no need to finish everything today, take things easier, feels ok. no need to be responsible for another person, a stupid one at that!
licia going back to work in Dec now that J is alright. good for her and J.
went to NAFA last Thur to sign B up for art class. ma-chiam Pr 1 registration! Licia got there at 7.30am to chop place for me and one woman behind her created a big fuss, saying that she will protest if the school lets that happen! ended up i was about 10 places behind licia and her friend, veronica. when registration open, found out that for B's year, only 11 vacanies were left and thurs was the first day of registration for the public! fierce man! luckily when it was time to register, islipped my form to licia ans asked her to register for B. Hee Hee! lucky the school don't care, so managed to get a place for B. so next year, Clarissa, Marian, Brendan and Christopher(Veron's son) would be going for art class. so exciting!

2004-10-26T21:05:00.000+08:00

Gave Z some durians to eat on Sunday..actually licked a little off my finger. he gave that disgusted look! i think the more durian you eat during pregnancy, the more the child would not like to want durian when he is born.(at least true for A and Z)
after Edna praise my nails today, came back home and my nails broke! urghh! really singaporean cannot praise one! sigh!
Z more steady on fours now. tried to raise himeself up for quite a while in BL, then dropped onto the bed!

2004-10-19T22:50:00.000+08:00

J had his open brain operation yesterday. as of now, he is still in ICU but have been complaining of head pain(due to the op) I think all went well.
that stupid maid of mine...why am i so lucky with maids????? somehow on sunday when she closed the car door, manager to clipped her finger. for some reason or other, kept on rubbing her finger(bad habit of hers which i have warned her time and again not to do). today when i happended to see her hand, guess what, her finfer nails turned black! still she don't want to sewe doctor. had to drag her there, got referred to A & E. so sickening. what is the matter with these people. really brainless. yesterday, before all these, got her to talk to her agent. she has not been performing. whole life say hand pain, head pain... guess what she told agent when agent asked her why she com out to work? she say come and try try. wow lau... mummy shot thru' her head when she heard tt! when i asked her further, she say come and try her luck to see if employer can give her good life...i also boil....
to keep or not to keep....maybe can give her one more chance, but in the meantime look out for a new one... so sian, maid problem.... should give the ministers maids like these, then see what they say!
enough of grumbling...btw, Z has started to crawl. although not on fours yet..just crawling on his belly using arm power to get from point A to B! way to go, son!

2004-10-17T15:27:00.000+08:00

my darlin' lil' boys!

2004-10-01T10:30:00.000+08:00

It's children's day today..yeh for the boys. they must have had a good time in school yesterday, came back with lots of presents from their teachers and goodies bags. even had something from chinese class! B had a mini food and fun fare in school yesterday. asked him what he ate, drank and played during the fun fare, he said chicken nuggets, sausages , some games lah and drank the sunflower drink! huh? got mummy and I puzzled. realised after a while, he drank good-old-chrysanthemum drink!
also realised yesterday that A instead of pronouning 'henrietta' as that, he pronounced it as 'henry after'! sigh...could not correct him.
oh, bought a new fridge. i love it. taller and bigger. guess where i got it from? this super old looking shop in ang mo kio.apparently they are a wholesaler. so while most of the shops were out od stock for that particular model, they have it and the best is, got the fridge cheaper than Best Denki by $600 and Goh Ah Bee by $230! makes my day boy! only thing, have to pay cash!
can't wait for ju to come back on Mon, even though it is only for less than a week. but i guess this means we are going out shopping on wed?:)

2004-09-27T21:28:00.000+08:00

wow..Has it been so long since I last wrote??? Has been busy...Buying and wrapping ju's present (as if it takes up so much of my time!) anyway, have recently managed to influence B to use colours in his drawings.
just talked to licia. Poor J. Developed menginitis in the hospital. Have to be given antibiotics intravenously. apparently being so small, his veins hardens easily and when that happens, have to be poked agan for the antibiotics to flow. he has already been poked more than 15 times. poor boy. Licia was saying he is so afraid of needles now.
J had a scan today and it seemed that the fluid in his brain is not draining well. tmr going for an operation to put a tube that links from his brain to his abdomen. this tube would be left inside him and would not be taken out unless there is infection. as for the abnormal growth of his veins in the brain, Licia said that there would be an operation on 18 oct. they have opted for an open brain surgery. there is more risks where J is concerned as his abnormal veins as quite deep in his brains. must pray for him.
Licia seemed quite ok. she has been spending all her time in the hospital only to go home to nap.

2004-09-07T22:26:00.000+08:00

Brought the boys to Sentosa yesterday with 3 other mothers from B's school. Between the 4 moms, there were 7 children. we took the nel to harbour front, then took the cable car across. imagine 7 children..the train was so noisy! everyone was staring at us. (actually the mothers were equally noisy! with such noisy mothers, how can you expect to have quiet children???)
by the time we reached sentosa, it was 3pm. just enough time to catch the bird show at the ferry terminal. the children were not really interested. the boys(there were 5 of them) were asking, can we go now? can we go to the underwater world now...boys..
spent about an hour in underwater world(abt 5 rounds of the travelator..must make money's worth) saw the fishes being fed.
thereafter went to the dolphin lagoon to see the pink dolphins. the children all had ice cream and the 2 boys very SK, don't know how to eat ice cream, esp A.(so sad!!)
one of the mothers know this guy working in sentosa, so had a free ride up the sky tower. ok lah...7 mins up and down and for that pay $10 for adult and $6 for children!(thank goodness we don't need to pay..so expensive)
the other mothers continued with the musical fountain while the boys and i proceed home(my breast were bursting with milk!) took the cable car back again (did not know that now can only take cable car or bus or car into sentosa. was looking forward to let the boys take the ferry. so sad.
reached home and found was running a fever (38.5 degree) and sore throat! sigh must be all the running and shouting!
the boys aked me to bring them to take cable car again today....still running fever. hope it subside soon. if persist to Fri, doc afraid that might be dengue.

Latest news on J. apparently he he has been saying 'don't want' one everything, including his sisters who went to visit him. everything was 'don't want'. Until somehow when Licia showed him some M&Ms that he said'want'. good old M&Ms. he is now on baby diet and is able to drink some Milo.
Poor Z has eye infection. doc said it is as a result of his cough!
so happy got more money back for Edna from her crapy ex-school. this first impression of the school? why so many 'or lang'as in the asian version. when we reached the school, saw her teacher's car. my first impression...sure huan na or or lang. sure enough was a Mr Raj! so typical!!anyway, he wanted to give ed back $500 only. got back from the school $1000 and still get to keep her bus pass!(purposely don't say anything abt the bus pass) I think the sch very messy, no system, teacher blur..say abt more only...ok ok ok.sigh!!!!don't study there also good lah...
anyway, Ed, now it is all up to you already..
Thanks Ju for the sandals. they are beautiful.

i so angry.write alot last night, blogger did not publish it...what a waste of time! in short, the boys are alright. no more blur blur ear. Z on neubraliser though.
Licia is alright. her vision is ok now. had a talk with her. J's fevre still refuse to subside, hovering around 37.5C. docs cannot do anything if he has fever. could not find cause of fever. have taken blood and urine samples. the docs have shifted him tot he high dependency ward and trying to lift him out of sedation. according to L, J have been refusing to response to anyone. just stare blankly. docs afraid of brain damage. however, it seemed that he responsed abit today.

2004-08-30T23:49:00.000+08:00

wa, has it been half a month since i last tag? time flies when you are busy! last i heard abt J is that he is out of ICU. noe at high dependency ward. however, still having fever. from what i gathered from mummy who understands from aunty pauline is that one of the reason why J is still having fever is that the needle that is poked through his skull to drain the blood might be infected. docs are removing it or supposed to have removed and replaced the needle. poor boy. my parents-in-law met L & L at TTSH today (my father-in-law went ot take the results of his biospy..thank goodness nothing wrong). acording to them, licia said that J has to be operated on no matter what, just need to decide on the best course of action. cannot imagine haveing to make that kind of decision.
B's blur blur ear is alright now. it is Z's turn to see doc. kena neubralise again lor..sigh.. he alright lah. taking antibiotics also. poor baby.
the two big monsters have been pestering me to buy new trains, new tracks, new additions to the existing tracks. everyday will look at the brochur and tell me, mummy tomorrow you buy this ok? if the shop don't have then you buy this, or else you buy this! wow biang..at this rate, their father will go broke!
B grown up now. he can make Z laugh and Z loves it. always looking at the big kor kor in anticipation! A leh? can't be bothered with Z. can when Z crying, back faced Z and said Z don't crwy, kor loves you!!!!

2004-08-14T23:24:00.000+08:00

That bloody maid...real idiot. Pa scolded mummy and I for scolding her. what the fuck! to think tt i got scolded because of the stupid maid's stupid attitude. don't know what to do. is she plain stupid or keng? like i said, she damm kuai lan. i think it is the bloody country and the bloody attitude. will never progress. damm sick of the maid issue. just wish the boys are grown up now, no need to have these maids around. if don't have maid, can tingkat dinner and have those aunties to clean and iron clothes, but might not have time for the boys and then mother-in-law sure have alot to say, like the one year when i was not working and did not have a maid. have maid, no doubt she can do the housework, but will give these kuai lan attitude, sigh..........
damm fucked up man.damm shit man.

Singaporeans so terrible! went shopping with Z on Sat. Took the MRT from Kovan and guess what, for 4 stations, no one gave me a seat to sit! this yong girl in front of me pretended not to see me and went on playing with her handphone! horrible!
went to church with the boys on Sun. for the first time, did not bring toys or colour pencils for the 2 big ones and they were quite well behaved! brought them for lunch thereafter. and guess what B told the waitress? aunty , i want sharks fin soup! she was shocked! did not know how to react!
today national day. went to IMM for dim sum lunch with mummy. the way B eats his lunch...wowww he grown up already! sat down and eat everything on his own. can tell me very good. A only want to drink soup! i feel so sad, yet happy. my B grow up already! after lunch, met with a bad jam on the way back from IMM. took us 2 hours to get down from the 5th floor to the exit of IMM! 4 hours lunch! Edna went tuition and came back! the maid so bored in mummy's house that she started to clean the shoes in mummy's house!
wanted to buy KFC to eat while watching NDP. and guess what? no chicken in the Boon Lay outlet. have to wait for 20 mins before the chickens could come from taman jurong branch . that was after queueing for 10 mins lor!

2004-08-03T22:09:00.000+08:00

My goodness, know how B sings the national anthem? 'mari kita yayak singapure, sama sama mer youyou, bagariya, sita sita sita ya muliya, semula singapura.(then he mumbles some words) sita sita and eat bah hu' and he starts giggling and repeat the sentence on eating bah hu and goes on giggling. what respect he gives to the national anthem! I tried to correct him, but it got worse and i don't know how, he went on to eating bee hoon! (A in the meantime, sings 10 green bottles sitting on the wall!)
Wanted to go hougang mall to change the 'mall and more' cards to $50. however, when we got there at 12noon, it was packed. the security guard refused to let us queue and said that the quota has been taken up. mummy was very angry. she went and countthe people in the queue and told the guard that there were abt 60 only and since only one person can only redeem one voucher, we should be allow to queue. the guard refused and mummy nearly quarrel with him. another aunty came along and 'helped' mummy, saying that she was there earlier, but the guard refuse to let her go in. however allow sone others to queue etc etc.. and then mummy and her loudly concluded that the guard had been bribe by the people! wa piang, mummy also very unreasonable! tried to explain to her that the guard might have given some form of identification to the people so that they can go back to the queue, but she refuses to listen. had to distract her and bring her to ntuc before she makes a scene. even then, at ntuc, she was still grumbling away.........
news said more bonus this year...Ju you how? got more bonus or not? so jealous, maybe should get bonus from D, afterall have not worked for a year...and have looked after his 2 sons well and given him another son at that!

So sad, Ju left for Brunei yesterday. suddenly like i have got nothing to do! the past month have been sort of running around for and with her, not that i am complaining. anyway, she will be back soon.....
guess what B has been learning in school? came back home singing, "yellow yellow dirty fellow blue, blue your mother's got a ba-lu-ku. green, green your mother sell ice-cream!" A actually learnt from him and the two of them were singing it the whole night! drove me nuts!
Z does not want to sleep tonight. It is noe 11.51pm and he is still wide awake and asking mummy to play with him! oh dear! have to let him drink milk then sleep, i guess and i hope he will sleep through the night tonight!

Bangkok was alright. i supposed i would go back for sightseeing. shopping though cheap, did not find anything i would really want. all my purchases at pai bug purchases. thank goodness did not buy the imi hermes bag, thanks to ju. maybe should have bought the levis bag? but then again, the stupid attitude of the salesgirl, no lose lah. and the most worthwhile purchase, the 10B substance sandals! yea.... don't know what prompt me to complain abt substance loosing my sandals when i send in for reapire, but yea, got a replacement in bangkok for 10B. and to think in singapore they would let me buy any shoes at 70% discount!

Just came back from the Doc. kana eat antibiotics. for the 2 boys and I, Dr Angela is now richer by $133! must encourage one of the 3 boys to be a doctor next time, maybe another be priest and another be lawyer? Wah, it is a chore bringing all three out! especially the 2 big ones!luckily Zachary still gong! know what the 2 monsters call the doctor? Dr Monkey! my god! the moment they enter the clinic, it is full of their voices! Dr told B his throat is very red. B asked what it meant. I told him that if he shouts any further, he would not be able to talk if this throat becomes redder..immediaetly he starts to whisper and said that if he can't talk, would have to use sign language! he also kana eat antibiotics!
Mummy also saw the doc. had some fungal growth...
Boys no music class tmr..sigh...means cannot go out tmr!
Poor B, cried for the father before he slept. must be missing him and his more relax ways..I must have too strict with them.Lights out very fast, no time to play...cane comes down easily....but then again, they sleep earlier this way and I can rest earlier also....
