My Princeton boy had grown up!

I always like to call him bb, and everyone knows he is my precious lil Prince. I dote him so much that sometimes i might spoilt him. People told me, Princeton is a well-behaved child, he can learn, and he is good by nature. So as Parents, we must know the Line.

I read from books that, a child up to the age of six months, a parent need not worry that comforting a crying child will result in spoiling, but after that time they should encourage children to comfort themselves, let them begin to associate crying with a ritual. Parents should prepare themselves for children being obstructive and attempting to test limits between the ages of 18 months and 3 years, should set firm and clear limits, should provide choices for children during stand-offs, and should not become aggravated or feel guilty about doing these. Yes, all these are general guidelines, but we should used it and learn from it.

Princeton had been in the child care centre since 1st April 2010:) He was 23months. I remembered very clearly my first three days with him in school. He survived his first month there after going through all the crying and shouting. He adapted well after that, and I'm glad our effort pays:) He made many friends there, and he learnt how to talk and express his thoughts after 2months in school. He simply enjoy having lesson and his playtime.

During his first year there, there wasn't any complain about fighting. All i remembered was that he was bitten twice (badly). Friends pushed him, his arms was hurt or his legs gotten bruises. But now, no more friends bully. Teachers feedback to me, Princeton self defence skills was great, he fought back! His friend used a dustpan to hit him, Princeton quickly grab a broom and whacked back! The teacher told me, she don't know whether to laugh or to scold them. hahaha...... Another time, Princeton's friend Ashton, used a book to hit on Princeton's head. Before the teacher could stop, Princeton was so angry that he used a bigger book and beat his friend back 10 times! The teacher stopped him, but Princeton forced his way through and continued! Teacher Shelly told me about it, and i had reprimanded him. I told him, if your friend beat you too hard, you can beat back, but beat back one time can already. hee....

It's very difficult to teach them in this area. I couldn't possibly asked Princeton to stand there and got beat and bully right? But i wouldn't want him to start the fight too. In the past, when he got into a fight, he will cry. Now? No more tears, he will stand firm and fight. LOL.

To me, these are parts and puzzles of growing up. Esp boys... if we take it too hard, then how to see them through primary school and secondary school? My sister once saw the video in ikea whereby Princeton was beaten up by another boy. She asked " huh.... you can take it ah... if she saw it her own eyes, she sure go help tian" Well, of course i'm heart pain.... In a fight, there's no right or wrong party. Doesn't mean my boy cry means your boy bully mine, Vice versa. I told Princeton, if people beat you, you can go and tell teacher or you run away. But if you want to fight, then you cannot cry. He nodded his head (dunno fully understand or not)

At home is a different case. Everything he must learn to give way to his sister. Everything he must learn to share with his sister. He loves to make fun of Paris, but overall he dote xin alot. Everyday first thing he comes home, is to kiss meimei and hug her. Children reaction tells all.

This is a video of my bb first 3 days in school, hee.... see how much he had grown? From a blur blur bb, to a big size toddler now!

The other video was taken 06 August 2010 when the school was celebrating National Day. See, its one year ago! And they r going to have another party soon. haha....  I will go snap some photos too this year. Do your best Princeton boy, continue learning (the good & better ways). Be our strong and independent man. Daddy and Mummy so proud of you!

Paris's growing up progress

Our little chubby princess is coming to her 11th month. Before we know it, she is going to celebrate her first year birthday! Zhenyu and i still deciding if we are going to hold a big party for her, just like we did for Princeton boy. Maybe not going to invite alot of people, but relatives and good friends:)

Paris could stand with support very steadily. She could listen to simple instructions too! Amazing ya? Yesterday sister came over for dinner, she told Paris "cannot touch the fruits!". Paris stared at her, (her hand stopped moving). Sis continued to say NO, and told Paris cannot touch the plate again. Paris move her hand away then crawl to me (with a very sad look). Wahaha!!! That scene was so hilarious! Sister praised Paris, clever girl!

Indeed she could understand our facial expression and her reactions show everything. When we asked her to clap, do twinkle twinkle and even flying kiss, she could do it! She can call papa and mama now:) Very clearly, but of course not very consistent. I believed she can improve if we keep teaching her. I'm sure this is not bb languages, as she look into our eyes when she called. . When she wanna eat, she will say mummm mummm....... and she is really one greedy gal who loves to eat anything under the sun.

Sister kept reminding me to let her try more variety of food. Don't let her end up like Princeton, who don't likes to try new things. Hmm.... i thought my boy already considered very good. haha... Paris love to eat cheese, bread, rice, fish, potatoes, carrots, pumpkins, minced beef, and she definitely enjoy drinking soup just like her brother!

She had two lower  front teeth now. I could see her upper teeth growing on the way. A pity still no sign of hair growth, lol...... I guess after two years old then will grow out bah. Can't wait to see her start walking, and playing catching with the brother!

Stay healthy my Paris gal, we love you!

James&Daphne House Warming

Today we went over James&Daphne's new nest! It was at a fantastic location at Boon Tiong Road. Walking distance to Tiong bahru Plaza and the famous Tiong Bahru Market:) They held the buffet at the Multi Purpose hall just beside their block. Big and spacious! Princeton enjoyed running around lol... he had fishball noodles before coming, and got no much appetite for the food there. We brought my mil with us, fil was working this afternoon....

Tian was getting better, but still could hear his phlegm. Yesterday after his phonics lesson, we brought him back to rest. This is the first Saturday we stayed at home, ha... usually we will bring the kids out. But gonna force that hyper love playing rascal to nap.

We didn't stay long there, maybe an hour plus? Princeton boy kept pestering to go gaigai(shopping).... We went to Great World City, tian was delighted as he never gets tired of window shopping. He saw a twin baby boy, and excited to make them laugh and sing song to them. haha.... The twins was aroused by Tian's entertainment. They are about the same age as Paris, the father told me they are at 11months. We went to the Food Junction for early dinner. After that we brought him to see his favourite Dinosaur Toys then left about 6pm.

My helper caught a flu at the shopping centre:( Princeton boy was about to recover, and another person fall sick. Tomorrow i have class, hopefully i would be able to attend.

Princeton sudden cough & flu

Monday, Princeton boy had slight fever, but recovered soon the next day. Many of his classmates were sick, many were coughing and sneezing when i fetched him last week. Was praying that Tian's immune system can be strong enough to resist those unwanted virus. But still...... today he suffered from the cough and flu bug:(

I had been guilty that i did not breastfeed him when he was an infant. If not due to my unbearable wound pain, i would have breastfeed him at least 6-7months, just like xin. That's why i would do everything that will helps him in his health. 

Many parents would save alot for their children, so do we. I'm proud to say both tian&xin got  5digits savings figure. But whats the point of saving so much when we don't provide them a better and a healthier lifestyle when we can actually afford??? Medicines for examples, parents rather feed them with endless coughing syrup than to seek alternative to Chinese medicines. Even our family doctor told us before, western medicines would harm their livers if taken very often.  Infants and toddlers should refrain from these colorful thingy unless its high fever, then no choice.

I hubby about the sudden cough from Tian. After work, he immediately went to Yu Ren Sheng and bought 3packets of Hou Zhao. Each packet cost 78 bucks! Daylight robbery isn't it!!! I am not working, and we don't belonged to rich income family. But still we would balance which is more important, children's health or the extra savings in the bank?

We are taking serious consideration about getting a home cleaning system. The 'Rainbow' delivers clean, water-washed air to your home while you clean. And more than that, the Rainbow can deodorize or aromatize the air in your home. Especially our beds and pillows..... the dirtiest part of a house is our bed, because we don't wash/bath them. Changing bedsheets alone definitely is not clean enough!! Imagine u don't bath but change clothes only? Yucks.... That's explain why we got all the breathing problems, esp the children! I had discussed with hubby, he will consider and i believed he will put the children's health in the top priority.

Money can be save again. But children's  health cannot wait. Of course those who really cannot afford, then no choice. But if we can, then why wait? Or would you rather to keep all the money in the bank and see your children fall sick? Of course no right?? There's a saying, Money that can solve a problem is not a problem.

I really pray Princeton boy can recover soon, but am glad tat he is still very active learning and playing:)

My brother 10th years death anniversary

My brother who was younger than me by one years old, suffered from brain cancer. He fought bravely and he managed to endure for 1.5years. It happened not long after we got our "O" Level results, he was in the express stream while i was in the normal stream. We did our revision together, and exchanged notes together.

He fainted during midnight on Labour Day, i could recalled vividly.... There was a loud bang from the living room, and everyone of us rushed out. My mum shouted for helped. Luckily my sis's ex bf was in and he drove us to NUH. Bad choice, we could have brought my brother to a better hospital. He might have survived. The doctor first said it was FITS, then said he would be unable to drive and do sports next time. Then the doctor said it was brain tumor. After that the doctor said it was a cancerous brain tumor. Then the doctor said it was a malignant one. Sad right? A healthy boy like him suffered from these type of torture. After his first operation, he insisted to join me back in school. He told me he didn't want to be lack behind, he didn't want to miss any modules. We were both in Ngee Ann Poly... I remembered he loves the ham&cheese sandwiches, cheesecake and ice mocha at The Atrium...

He even took the exams! He cleared his first semester, and we were very proud of him. During our second sem, his condition got worsened. He often suffered from FITS, and would fall into coma. But still he endured and complete his exams for the second semester. Soon after, he was admitted to the hospital again. The doc then said he needed another operation. I skipped many of my lectures that time, as i needed to take care of my brother during night time. My mum will see him during day time. Fortunately i have my poly friends who helps me alot.. They kept all the notes for me and helped me with my tutorial and projects.

Zhenyu stood by me during that tough times. He accompanied me during night shifts as well. We would accompanied my brother for poker cards game when he was conscious that time. All he want is to survive... if only we had enough money for better treatment.

He didn't even got a chance to celebrate his 18th birthday. He have got so many regrets. He loves foot reflexology, but never had a chance to have one good one. Life is so short, he loves studying and yet many people choose to give up. He wanted to live, and yet people choose to end their lives.

He will always be in my heart. Ah boy, please bless mummy with joy and good health.

Our home alone time with the little Ps

Every saturday is a challenging day for me. Bcoz time is very tight and i always gotta rush. For example today... my helper is not around, and mum got to go hospital visit my grandma. Me alone handling the children as zhenyu is working today as well.

The problem is i got to rush Princeton boy for his phonics class at 10.45... luckily my mum is willing to help me with Paris. I drove them over, send tian up for his lesson, park the car and took over xin. Mum left after that. I brought my girl around and waiting for tian to off school. Then brought the two of them for mac breakfast:) Eat until halfway, my inlaws joined in. They had prepared fish porridge for their baobei.

My inlaws praised me, wow, u can take care of both on your own? I smiled and said yah as long the brother don't go hay wired:p My mil immediately said, of course must be able to take care your own (even without maid or your mum), don't be like other people cannot make it still wanna so many children! I was like, wah..... who is she referring leh. (but i didn't ask)

We strolled back to my inlaws place after breakfast, and tian had a 15mins playtime at the school playground. My mil seems to favour tian more and my fil seems to dote xin more, haha!! We went back shortly..... the lil Ps had quality fun playtime with their grandparents! But soon, its their milk/nap time, and its another level for me to handle two at the same time. Mil went to do her housework, and fil read his newspaper.

Hubby came over at last near to 4pm! He was very hungry, so we had an early dinner while the children were still having their nap. They slept around for 1.5hours, and were energetic to play again! Hubby was tired of course but still cherish his timeout with them. 

People might think, husband working, come home should rest. Sorry, what makes you think that stay at home mother is not as tiring as working husband?? Let alone i'm not 100% sahm, i have got alot of school assignment waiting for me to complete in 3weeks time! 

Don't be mistaken, definitely not zhenyu who have this type of selfish thoughts. He understands that no one has the right to compare whoever duties are more stress or are tougher. There was once, a person who pinpoint that his/her work is more stressful than mine, and that i can never behold what he/she is doing. If he thought that this particular job is stress, i confirm cannot take it. I actually kept quiet, i did not became defensive or starts an argument. Bcoz i was utterly disappointed at that time of point. 

Let me asked you, 你做过我这份工吗? 你有尝试过做工回家还要照顾孩子吗? When i say take care means whole night. Although i have maid and mum at home, but I'm proud to say i took care of them at night even though i was working last night)Unless I'm sick, then maid will take over. So u never been in my shoes, please don't comment. Even though u can be a Minister or President, what makes you think that my threshold of stress cannot be on par as yours???

Anyway, its over... i can forgive, but sometimes its not possible to forget. My mum wasn't happy about maid going back thingy. But to me, my point still stands... haiz... so 自己辛苦一点，as i never believe in relying on parents or inlaws for taking of the children. Yes i can say that because i am not working now. But my line is parents/inlaws only helps to 看头看尾。Never expect them to be your maid or your nanny. If i cannot afford a maid, then too bad, i will have to take care myself. If i think its very difficult or tiring, cannot take care by myself, then don't bothered to go for so many children. Why will i have so many thoughts? My mil shared many of her views with me today, which i agreed... (shall not go into much details)

I was once a working mother, and now a sahm. So, therefore i could understand both situations. 我可以很大声的说: 全职在家里照顾家庭不显得比做工妈妈来的容易。Once again, i emphasized, everybody got their own stressful part. Doesn't mean i everyday happy go lucky means my duties are easy. It don't mean that i cannot take pain and give up easily. I may be idealistic, i may see things and people very positively. Because i believed that positive thinking attract positive ions. 

Ok, time to join Princeton boy in bed. Hope they can have good night sleep, hee... the dad is very tired.  

Princeton's school outing to THE ZOO (again)

Many people must be wondering... wah how many times Princeton had been to The Zoo?? Kind of bored isn't it? keep going to the same places for so many times... Well, we thought so bcoz we are not toddlers like them:) Children at this age loves going to The Zoo, no matter how many times they had been there. They simply love to see "Real Animals" :)

The childcare centre had organized a school event to The Zoo yesterday. We were informed one month in advanced, and zhenyu took leave to accompany his boy to the outing:) He took the company zoo pass as well so that the 3 of us doesn't need to pay for the entrance fees. We did not drive there although we could, bcoz we wanted Princeton to experience and join in the fun together with his classmates! The journey there was fun, you can hear children laughing and children singing. They were making big woo ha when they saw aeroplane! hee..... All the kids were very well behaved, and they were chatting with each other what animals are there in The Zoo:)

The weather was good, we reached about 0930, and everyone busy taking group photos. Only 4parents went including us. Zhenyu and i helped in taking care of other children, instead of holding our boy's hand. Princeton had his own partner and he is independent of walking on his own. Though i'm with other kids, the corner of my eyes were still with my boy:p

The principal was with our group, she didn't bring us to many places....haiz.... as usual, saw some butterflies, spiders, bats, frogs, goats and horses only. Princeton boy was disappointed, and kept asking where is the Lion and the leopard???? He cried...... haiz. I promised i will bring him here again to see those big ones. He had a pony ride, and that smooth his mood, haha!! Zhenyu was quite surprised Princeton was daring enough to sit on it:) He told me next time he wanted an elephant ride!

We had lunch at the KFC. Zhenyu and i sat one corner while Princeton joined his friends for popcorn chicken and whip potatoes. We left at 1.15pm, bcoz its nap time for the children. We left tian at the centre, and we came back for a shower and took a nap too. Tiring..... hee...

A pity not all parents allowed their child to attend such event. Some of the classmates weeped badly becoz they can't go. The parents told me that they rather bring them out themselves. Well, for me, i felt that its a totally different experience.

House warming at Jasmine new nest:)

Today my helper went to the embassy to settle her exit permit as she will be going back for her brother's funeral on Thursday. She left the house as early as 0730am, and dear hubby woke up and took care of Paris.

Me and tian woke up at 10am, and i started to get things ready to Jasmine's house warming. Jasmine aka Yuhua was my primary school mates. We knew each other since primary one! But get closer during pri three when we were in the netball team. Jasmine was all the way in the best class EM1, while i was in EM2. She had excellent results throughout her studies life, and i must admit she's good in numbers!

She is my a brave woman who take care of her daughter solely. I shall not talk about her private matters here... just wanna say not many woman can be so noble. We were the first few guest to reach her place. She prepared steamboat lunch. Her gal 6years old wasn't as friendly...hmm.... she seems abit antisocial. Everything also not willing to share with Princeton. This boy got upset and cried becoz Joelle refused to gave him markers to draw on her board. I got my iphone to trade in for her markers, then she's OK with it. But after playing for half an hour, she came over and took away the toys from tian again. Well, i guessed this is the behaviour of the only child at home. Princeton boy also cannot share well with other kids. But for a 6years old kid, i believe they should know how to share le.. hee.... i shall not say it too early lol.

Anyway Princeton was also very impatience. There were two other kids there, they tried to cheer tian up. Kept telling Joelle to give in to didi..... My boy isn't any better in sharing toys. Sad to say that.... haiz... but at home he will take turn to play with meimei. At least anything he wants to take, eg my iphone or my sis iphone, he will asked and say please and thank you. And whenever i want it back, he will return. But no child is perfect, just to hope they can have the basic manners.

The weather really killing me.... dunno how many times must i bath everyday. So many ppl fall sick, i must do my best to keep the lil ones in good shape!

JOYFUL 10th my beautiful Princess!

Today marks the 10th month of Paris bb:) She is our smiley cartoon girl, as well as my pil baobei. Last time i was worried that pil would be biased because they dotes Princeton boy so much that no words could described it. Now i felt so blessed that their LOVE for Paris was even one higher level UP!! Same goes for mum, my sister said mum pampered Paris like a gem lor.

Thank you GOD, Paris is growing well, she is a strong gal as compared to her brother. Although Princeton boy is so much healthier now... Slight cough and flu during rainy days is still inevitable:( But he could recovered very soon from it. Today after tian's phonics class, we make a trip to his childcare centre. Princeton's English teacher made special effort in helping me to find photos which they took for the students during class lesson. She also uploaded some of the music which they taught the children. While waiting for her, tian's Chinese teacher came over and have a chat with us. Chen Laoshi was one of the most experience teacher there. She was very attentive to Rong Tian, and we appreciate her frequent feedback. We were chatting about the behaviour and attitude of the children, and how she overcome their tyrannical manners. She said girls are more tamed then boys, and boys are by nature alot more mischievous. We need alot of patience and explanation in teaching them. And there must be a discipline master whom all kids are afraid of - Mrs Chandra. haha.... And yes, Princeton boy really fear of her. Chen Laoshi also said that, we cannot always find excuses for our child, eg:they are still small, they are tired/sick, they are being playful/naive. She cite me an example that, one of the tamil boy is sick, so often throw tantrum in class. But she said, even if tat boy is not sick, he also cannot sit still and listen to instructions. He would even play with his own food and other's food during lunch time, and disturb others when they were taking a bath. The parents would often find excuses to say that, no lah, he is a boy, so very playful and naive. Chen Laoshi was very firmed to the parents that, we cannot always find excuses for them, how long are u going to protect them? They can never learn.... 

Then i quickly asked for her view about Rong Tian. She said, Princeton is an easy kid. She told him once, and he can listen. Wow....! I was like, yes meh?? She also said, yes he do fight with friends, and he have his own group of friends also. He is a smart boy, as in when he sensed that the teachers was fuming, he would be the first one to sit down and keep quiet. She wants me to spend more time in reading stories to him, so as to build his attention span and to improve more on his focus abilities. 

After chatting, Zhenyu warned me, you see? Stop giving your boy excuses. We understand that this rascal can be really out of hand. I know canning is needed, but i still hope by explaining to him, he can learn. We don't wish a good boy like him being spoilt by me:( Please buck up my dear boy.  

Juju Hokkaido Hot Pot with the children =)

Hubby fight for a half day off for his duty on Sunday. He wanted to bring the children out for lunch as well as to visit my grandma at NUH. We had a very nice steamboat lunch yesterday at Paradiz Centre. Our usual hang out place because we love the food there, fresh and service not bad. Princeton boy loves the soup base alot (No msg very tasty), drank two big bowl with rice and fish.

We enjoyed the steamboat for about 1.5 hour!! Tian sat still and ate happily, while xin fell asleep after drinking her brown rice cereal with milk. After eating, we went for a walk at cold storage (Tian fav place supermarket). He likes to see all kinds of fruits, and able to name most of them. Even avocado and pineapple he was able to name it. Taught him some new fruits like lemon, mango and dragonfruit. He enjoyed touching it and feels the texture.

We took a walk outside the shopping centre just then Paris was awake. Zhenyu brought the kids into a fish aquarium. Princeton boy gets excited and curious. Too bad i do not know how to name the different kinds of fishes, if not i would have taught him. We walked pass musical store, as usual my boy wanna take a photo with guitars, drums and piano:)

It was about 5pm and we decided to leave. Called my mum to see check the condition of grandma. Zhenyu said we shall pay her a quick visit despite the kids around. Grandma was sleeping when we reached there. She opened her eyes and waved to us. Tian waved at her and called her Lao Ma, he even touch her hand and asked 'R U OK??'. Although great grandma couldn't hear, but she could feel it. Really hope she can get well again, wanna see her get up to read newspaper and eat her porridge. I promised to buy her favourite duck meat everyday...

Tian skipped his nap again, but yesterday he did not make a fuss. He slept early at ten pm, woke up at 8am today. I went to the wet market this morning with my mum, as sister is coming back for dinner tonight. Wah.... it's really not cheap to buy vege and fishes nowadays. And i only want to buy the best type of fish for the lil Ps.

School term going start soon! Hopefully i can get a much better grade than the last semester:) Jiayou!

Dayout with my boy

Hubby is on duty today.... in the morning, we had a good time playing with xin, after that is her nap time. Brought Princeton boy out for late lunch at Jurong Point. Then we went to his usual hang out places like Kiddy Palace and Arcade. After that he kept his promise, accompany me to do some shopping. I saw Paris clothing are on sales! So cute, haha...

After shopping for an hour plus, Tian told me that he was tired. When we walked pass the movie ticket box, he said he wanted to watch 'ROBOTS' (Transformers). I told him next time, but he insisted and started crying. haiz.... We joined in the queue, and the tickets were all sold out. I request the counter staff to told Tian about it, and Tian cried out loudly after hearing the jiejie saying NO MORE TICKETS. Kept telling him and trying my best to explain to him. He was very sad, i just hold his hand and brought him back to arcade instead. He calmed down awhile after that he said he was hungry... So we went to MOS burger, grab some fries and his favourite corn soup.  Wanted to bring him home, he remembered i told him we will be taking MRT. (When i was trying to coax him as he was crying for transformers) OKay, i brought him for a short ride. Who koes suddenly he began to throw tantrum again, so we quickly alight at Chinese Garden.

The is is the first time he wanted me to carry him. 'Mummy carry me ... i tried already.'  I carried him and we took a cab home. He was very energetic in the taxi, because it was so comfortable and cooling. When we reached home, i bathed him and on let him watch Barney. I took a quick shower too, but when i came out, he had already dozed off on the bed, haha!! I accompany Paris, brought her for a walk downstairs, then feed her porridge. After she napped, I went to bed to rest also.

Tian slept from 5-7pm. I woke him up for dinner, if not i dunno wat time is he going to sleep at night! Today could see some improvement in him sharing toys with meimei. Hopefully he can grow up to be a brother who loves and dotes his sister.

A mini gathering at May's house

Today is sat again, but not the usual sat because early noon after i send Tian for his phonics, i gotta rush mum and my eldest Uncle to the hospital. Yes... my grandma admitted to NUH again. Did i mentioned about i dislike that place? Well, because i had lost faith about the doctors there ever since they done all the torturing to my brother and failed to save him. But what to do.... we are not rich to give them the best doctors and the best treatment in the best hospital.

I wanted to pay grandma a visit, but Tian's lesson ended in an hours time, so i couldn't make it. Tmr zhenyu is having duty, most prob will make a trip down on Monday. Mum already told me not to bring along the kids to the hospital.

We went to my best friend place for a mini gathering. Princeton had been bugging me for bb kyrine. This boy extremely loves small babies... Last time he also dote his sister alot, but when xin began to snatch toys with him, the brother became defensive. Princeton was very happy to play at May's house, and today there is a new 'toy' for him to kiss non stop. So paiseh..... the kissing fish went abit overboard. Tian and Jaden don't seems interested to play with each other. The french fries on the table looks more appealing to them. haha...

We stay till almost 3.5hours, tian skipped his nap again. By the time we reached home and bathed him. He told me mummy i don't want to nap.... i want to poo. And by the time he poo, its already 7pm. Zhenyu went to dabao dinner and bought a cake for my helper too. Tmr is her birthday... For the past 2 years we didn't buy any cakes, just a small gift for her only. But this year, Princeton boy was so delighted by bd cakes and singing bd songs, so we shall have one tonight:)

Xiaolin bought Paris a supplement called Rosehip syrup, thanks so much! It contained vitamin C with no artificial flavour or sweeteners. Will give a small amount of it for xin every morning:) I'm glad xin is a baby who loves all kinds of food, haha..... but i  hope she will be like her brother who dislike junk food (chocolates, sweets, deep fried chicken and oily food) But on the other hand, i wished that she can be a less fussy eater who is willing to eat all meats and vegetables... unlike Princeton boy who detest green vege:(

Zhenyu will be on duty tmr~~~~~ Sunday is my precious family day lol. Was thinking to bring the lil Ps to watch Transformers. haha!!

Grandma is sick

My paternal grandparents had passed away since i was very young. Grandpa was gone when i was only 2, therefore i got no memories about him. My mama (granny) was only 70, and she was gone too when i was in secondary 2. She was a wonderful granny, and of course the best mother in law my mum can ever have. My maternal grandpa passed away shortly after my father's death. My poor mum, lost all her MEN within a few years. Now only left with my maternal grandmother who is now aged 93. Powerful right?

She was in good health all these while, she doesn't have any health complication like high blood pressure or heart disease etc. She loves to read newspaper everyday, simple meal could satisfied her. Last few months, her legs got swollen. It was so painful that she cried everyday. My mum was very upset about it. But at least she still have the appetite to eat. After a month plus, her leg recovered miracle. But her diarrhoea and vomiting came suddenly. Medication could not stop, and we suspect that her intestines are not functioning well anymore. She had not been eating for a week plus le... and now she had no energy at all. Just lying on her bed :( 

Zhenyu as a grandson in law teared when he saw her yesterday. It was very heart aching. Although we understand that she is so old and its natural for the olds to get sick. But somehow we just felt very sad. Brought the lil Ps to visit their great grandma too. When i told Princeton that Lao Ma is very sick, Princeton could say Lao Ma Leg very pain, must sayang Lao Ma. A toddler like him can be willing to visit lao ma, but there are people down there don't even bothered. I must SMS and remind people to come and visit their grandma or mother??? And excuse me, not because I'm free, not because i don't need to work, that's why i can always go and visit. Don't tell me you work 24/7? And if u r working so hard, earning so much money, have u ever give grandma a cent??? Oh OK, maybe yes, only during CNY $20??

I'm not trying to say i put in alot of effort in taking care of grandma. But at least let's do a minimum to pay her a visit whenever we can. NOT UNTIL funeral then appeared to do one hundred and one thing, FOR WHAT!!!!? Treasure now when she is still around, buy her some food and go and see her. Not when she had passed away then stay overnight at the funeral OR go and buy so many stuffs and burn for her! TOO LATE GENIUS!  

There are many pathetic fools down there, i dunno what are they thinking. What i can conclude is, Poor people frown for $$, Rich people also frown for $$. I still pray for my grandma, hopefully she can feel better and recover. This is a picture of my beautiful grandma when she was in her 30s.
