Stay @ home Hari Raya Puasa

Today is a public holiday, we did not had any outing because Paris had not fully recovered, and i am very tired these few days.... Mainly because i gotta monitor very closely on Paris. Especially during midnight:( So to be frank, i didn't sleep at all for the past 3 nights. Daytime got to entertain the brother, this boy really drained all my energy. My projects are piling up the mountain, exams in oct! And i know the end of my days is drawing near....:( jialat....

My back are aching (which seldom happen). Pray for my gal speedy recovery... Today we had spent quality time with the children. Zhenyu brought Princeton to the nearby park for a walk. While i stayed at home and nap with Paris. The dad and son enjoyed one hour plus! When Princeton came back, he told me, mummy i very hungry!! The scene was so hilarious! haha!!! I quickly prepared bread and biscuits for him. He ate very fast and kept smiling :) I believed he had a great time with his dad.

Princeton is 3 years and 3months yesterday. His progress is on the track i believed. Not slow neither is he a fast learner.... He is learning to write numbers and alphabets through dotted lines. Motor skills need to be practise everyday, and i will do it with him constantly. As for his diet, Princeton dislike vegetables:( We could only brew the vege into soup, and luckily he loves to drink soup:) But until now, he is still having separation anxiety. My super glue..... Sometimes i can't even go for a bath lor. How to overcome this?

Paris is coming one years old! Zhenyu and i had ordered a Barney cake for our gal:) Going to have a simple celebration for her lol. Next month shall bring them for a cruise  trip, gota get ready all their clothes. hee.... although is only for 3days, we do hope to make the fullest out of this trip.

Paris one years old precelebration!

Yesterday, me best friend May and xiaolin came over to celebrate Paris 1 yr old birthday! Kind of early ya? Her actual day is on the 9th sept, but May is going to due for delivery anytime, so lets do it now! haha. Thanks so much for the cake, xiaolin order specially and the cake is so fresh and taste so great! Thanks for the present aunty xiaolin and angbao for aunty May:)

Paris was not on her tip top form, as she was at her teething period, and virus fever attacked her on Friday. We rushed her to the hospital as she was trembling despite having the medicine. Her lips turned purplish and this really scared me to death. We didn't want to wait and monitor, straight to TMC. Luckily there was no queue, the doctor suggested a blood test, and thank God, all was OK. We were told to give the medication on time, as the fever will come and go for 2-3 days. Fortunately, she still had appetite for her daily food and milk, as well as cereals and biscuits. I pray for her speedy recovery. Not easy for me these few nights. Woke up every hour to feel and touch her. Daytime usually she will be quite active. It was during the midnight whereby the fever really shoot up to my heart attack.

After the cake cutting and dinner, xiaolin and wenxian need to make a move first, they are going to RWS to watch the water fountain. I told zhenyu, lets bring the kids there too. He agreed, and we quickly packed the bag and changed the kiddos.

Tian was playing happily with Jaden, haha... Happy playing the baby slides, screaming and laughing loh. We left together, and reached RWS in less than 20mins. Tian enjoyed the outing! Very excited to see bb kyrine as usual, hee.... After watching the water musical fountain, we went to the candy empire whereby Tian was happily pushing the trolley to do his shopping!

Paris was rather moody:( I guess she was tired and sleepy. Dozed off when we were on the way back home.

Today, we brought my mum and the children to visit my sis and Zachary! This hairy bb had grown even taller ! He drank alot lol.... Good job sis! My sis slimmed down alot, she could even wear her old jeans! She listened to my advise, drank alot of ginger tea and tonic soup to sweat it all out, and to get rid of all the wind and water. Well done!

Confinement is not about putting on weight and become as fat as possible. Neither can we eat so little so as to be on diet and wish that we could lose weight asap. All these thinking are wrong. Very wrong. We gonna eat good quality food, and in good portion everyday. If we could breastfeed, this can speed up our losing weight process. I'm glad my sis looked so radiant and healthy now. She is happy too:) Jiayou my dear sis, see you soon!

Parents in law with their precious grandchildren

Zhenyu had an event at Sentosa with his colleagues today. Therefore, i brought the kiddos over my inlaws place for dinner. Princeton told me he wanted to show yeye and nainai his puzzles, i agreed to his request. (usually i do not like him to bring any forms of toys over, vice versa.)

The lil Ps do not get to see my inlaws everyday, even though they would always peep at Princeton (The childcare centre opposite their block). I believed this is why my inlaws treasure every moment with them whenever we go over for dinner. They get to feed their precious, as well as to carry and to play with them. My inlaws were especially happy today, when they saw the puzzles Tian was able to complete. My pil were very impressed, and kept praising the boy. And thereafter my mil praised me:) I was delighted too of course. Thinking tat this is not the toughest puzzles Princeton boy could accomplished. There are tougher ones at home. heehee...

However, one cannot be conceited or boastful about it. I do like to give my boy the recognition he deserved, but do not wish to show off about it. Let alone doing comparison with his peers. He is weak in his language and pronunciation, as well as he needs improvement in his motor skills. I do not put him down, but instead i encouraged him to speak with confident. It's OK if our children is abit slow. But if we keep thinking and hoping that they will be as clever as other children, then it will only make ourselves ugly, and the children feeling low esteem and stressful. 

That's why i never regret the decision to quit when i was expecting Paris last year. I get to be the first one to see my kiddo's milestone, and of course, i get to decide for my children. Many caregiver likes to help parents to make decision. Which i felt is quite pathetic. Sorry to say that, because if we as a parent cannot decide for our children, then who else can?? Name for example, many got to listen to the oldies ( for respect or for religion purpose), whichever. Food another example, must let them decide what food to cook for the children. Places! Also must follow what the old folks say, and must obey the timing to come back some more.

OK, true enough, we should seek advise from our parents, as a respect or to please them. Nevertheless, they had more experience than us, and its always good to seek a second opinion. But we as a parent, should take our own stand. Some things we ought to firm and we are always the final call. NOT a third person. Nobody has the right to tell me what time i should bring my kids back home, for god's sake please. We are adults, and we definitely know what is best for the children.

My mil brew some soup for Princeton boy today. He simply loves soup. He got his Jelly (birdnest) for desserts too. I had my share too, thanks mother:) I'm lucky that my inlaws don't interfere in our matters alot. I meant, they are very independent and open minded. I cannot imagine if someone would to tell me, what clothes must i wear for my children. I think i will go bonkers. Because since my lil Ps were born, I am the only one who can decide what they should wear. It's seems a trivial matter, but yet, parents got to follow what the oldies say. Sad right? 

My concern is very simple. Children belongs to us. We should take ownership.

Punishment for Princeton boy

The dad is reprimanding his son now, while I'm updating this blog. My previous blog is too lengthy, so i decided to post this video on a new entry. Plenty of my thoughts.... thinking what can i do, for the best interest for my children.

Every parents had their own teaching. Relatives and friends can give feedback, share their thoughts with us. We should take it constructively and think about it. If more than one person says the same thing, then we should really start reflecting. More often than not, we ourselves DO NOT know what are we doing, and how does it affect the children.

No matter how good a child can be, he/she sure to have a moment of bad behaviour. Or i should say no child is born to be obedience. But again, if we still continue to think our child is still young, still naive, give in to him/her just to make sure he don't make a fuss. Then sorry, we are so wrong.

Different people had different perspectives on how Princeton boy is. Some simply thinks he is very bad some really thinks he is an angel. Many tell me that he is considered quite well behaved. Still there are people who feedback to me that i had been pampering him too much. How contradicting ya?

I can only say, how many children at the age of 3 can stand and face the wall for 15mins? My boy can. The dad said 5mins initially. But ended up 15mins, and he was really very tired already.

Children at this age still need ample of rest, that is nap. Even primary one children still crying for nap. Princeton boy is not asking much, he just need one good hour or even 45mins. I don't believe the longer they nap, the better it is. Yes, for an infant. Not for a toddler. Sleeping for long hours only makes them lazy. (except when they fall sick) An efficient nap is not any longer than 2hours (for a toddler). This is not said by me, is from a parenting talk at Tian's school. 

Please don't quote me on the above. I am definitely not trying to say my boy is the best or i have got the best parenting methods. I am just sharing my thoughts, and i do believed our children behaviour proves how well our parenting efforts. Princeton of course needs to buck up more, so do i.

When children are sick, parents first thing in mind : CANNOT GO OUT. Is that so???? The answer is wrong. I am not asking you to bring them to shopping centre, or to sweat them under hot sun. When they are sick, the more we should bring them to the park, or somewhere with trees that we can have more fresh air. Unless we are talking about sick until cannot walk, then OK, no choice but to stay at home.

I doubt we are going for a third child. Even though we want, we will make sure we can afford, the care taking of the child are well planned and lastly, both of us can be as committed (like before) in taking care.

Fruitful, yet challenging weekend!

Saturday, which was yesterday, i fetched Princeton boy for his phonics lesson as usual. Then went home to fetch Hubby and Paris. Who knows our car's radiation got problem again. Luckily i managed to reach home in time, if not i would have stuck in the middle of somewhere.

Its OK, no fret. We quickly prepared the bags, as we wanted to bring the children for a swim. Took a taxi over to fetch our boy, then headed to The Chevrons. The children were over the moon, especially Paris. She laughed and kicked non stop. After 20mins, I bathed Paris, cleaned her up then soon she fell asleep. Too exhausted from the swim, haha. Princeton boy wanted to go bowling alley, but when we were about to leave, he insisted he wanted to play the pool table ( he is throwing tantrums, nothing about the pool table i believed). He is getting grouchy, as it was 4 pm already. Sigh..... cried all the way in the cab, saying ' I want Chevrons'.

Got home, drank milk then dozed off on the bed. When he woke up at 730pm. Zhenyu talked to him, and then scolded him about the incident. After that, the dad took out the cane, and whacked him on his backside. Very deep scar:( Princeton cried of course, and shivered in fear. We let him finished crying, then i explained to him again. After having mum's fried bee hoon, we brought the children to visit my sis and my nephew!

Princeton had enough rest, hence he was well behaved at the place all the way. We left around 11pm. I had a nice chat with sis, and was glad that her appetite was good and everything was smooth.

This morning, Princeton woke up especially early at 7am! Crazy.... i knew that was a bad start, later sure go hay wired. But still we are hoping for a miracle. Jio my best pal and Xiaolin for dim sum breakfast at The Chevrons:) The restaurant opened at 11am, therefore we went to the mini library first. The children were enjoying themselves. That place was quite entertaining, some more is FOC lol.

We ordered quite a few variety of dim sum, porridge and fried noodles. Princeton was getting cranky, i guessed it bcoz after eating, he wanted to get off his seat, and requested to see fishes. (Usually he will play the iphone after having his meal). I carried him and take a look at those lobsters and crabs. After that, he started to find fault already. Wanted to play with a pair of scissors which i used to cut the fried noodles earlier on. I refused of course. Even though i knew he would throw tantrums. He cried louder and louder. I wanted to carry him out of the place, bcoz  he was disturbing others. But if he doesn't want me to carry, there is no way i could carry him up. Zhenyu was coaxing Paris to sleep outside the restaurant....

Princeton cried over the scissors and the fried noodles until zhenyu came back. The dad was very angry, and grabbed him out of the seat immediately. He reprimanded him outside the restaurant, and when we came out of the place, I saw that Tian stopped crying but when he saw me, his crying came back again. This outrageous boy is getting from bad to worse. I understand no child is perfect. He is old enough to understand even though he is tired, he cannot throw his tantrums like this. Zhenyu was so pissed off because Princeton had promised him yesterday that he will behaved today.

Whenever children cannot cooperate with us, we should keep our cool down. For me, if Tian wanted to cry, i'll let him cry all he wants. Like what i did today. After May and xiaolin left, Princeton cried at the lobby. We wait for him to finish crying loh. I won't act like a gan chiong spider and quickly bring my boy home. This will only makes him turn worse, and he never can learn. He will only learn that from parents that, the best way is to avoid. Then the child will always take advantages of such situation, whenever i cry, i can go home. BEST. The main reason that he threw tantrums is because he really woke up very early at 7, and he slept late the day before as well. My style of parenting might be different from others. For me, if you're tired, sleep in the car or pram, and our events will continue. This is a matter of used to it. So, i hope one day, Princeton will understand that it's useless for him throw tantrums when he is tired. He just gonna get used to it.

Tian cried until he gave up, said he wanted milk. After drinking, he slept soundly. We then brought Paris home, (Paris's porridge time) and brought Princeton boy to the bb shower. We put him in the pram, he continued to zzz. After an hour, he woke up, refreshed and back to normal again. He was excited to see Yanling's bb girl. I believed he really dote babies alot.

We then brought him to Jess's place for the curry pot event. Jess is the parent of Ashley (Princeton's classmates). We had a mini gathering with the kid's ex teachers as well. Stayed till 6pm, then we got to make a move. Brought Princeton back for a shower and dinner. He is playing with xin now, i hope he can turn in early later.

His dad scolded him just now, but this time Princeton apologized. Hubby was rather angry about the restaurant incident, but he told Princeton that he forgave him this time. Mainly because subsequent event, our boy was up to his expectation.

I would have brought along his favourite toy guns or even my sis's ipad! So that if he wanted to throw tantrums, i can make used of that. But i didn't. Because this will only spoilt the kids and makes them think that if i throw tantrums, mummy will coax me with my favourite things! Then that's it. Since young, i never have toys in the car, and let alone toys to entertain them when they got nothing to do.

My uncle suggested that i should cultivate Tian to read a book when he gets bored. Yes, he is right. This is the best way to keep a child occupied. I will read with my children everyday, so that they will love reading in the future. It is fundamental skill builder which improves a child concentration and focus. This is my KPI this year !

  

Busy period

I had been too relaxing these few weeks. Or i should say, my time management ought to be improved. As Princeton was not feeling well last few days, i had no time for my assignments at all. The only time i could keep up, would be during midnight while the children are asleep. 

Yes... though it's tough, but still its our responsibilities to keep the children occupied and of course to take care of them especially during night time when they fall sick. I am lucky that my mum stayed with me, and we could afford a helper. Others wondering, i am not working, why can't i do the housework? People who knew me well, would understand that, not that i DON'T know how to cook, or i DON'T know how to iron clothes, mop the floor, do the housechores. Sorry, i was not born with a sliver spoon, the amount of housechores i could handle, is far more than you can imagine. I used to be a 'maid' long time ago. I used to HANDWASH all the clothes for my family of 5. Our washing machine was out of order for 3-4 months, mum had no money for a new one. I mop the floor everyday after school, and i ironed my sibling's uniform too. I was secondary one i remember. At that time, i felt miserable, and i felt mistreated. I felt my parents were biased. But now, i thanked them, because this makes me a good housewife, and it cultivate my patience.

Ever since i'm married, Zhenyu had promised that his wife will never have to do any housechores, ever. Of course i don't rely everything on my helper. Sometimes i do my own cleaning too. I would want my children to have a habit of cleaning up their place, and Princeton is doing it now. He would placed his dirty clothes into the kitchen bathtub. He is learning how to tidy up the bed every morning too. I don't believe in doing everything nicely and smoothly for the children. They must be able to handle hiccups and learn from the lesson.  

Today i did not attend my lecture. Wanted to stay at home for my assignments.... Princeton watched his animals documentary dvd, while waiting for me to finish my work. After watching, he felt tired, and went to bed himself. He dozed off after drinking milk.... I can continued my school tasks, and later accompany hubby for online movies!

Thank you mummy for brewing tonic for me again tonight. My sister doing confinement, and am i:) haha..... just hope that i can stay strong and healthy, so that i would be able to take care of my children. I do not like Parents saying they are busy or tired with work, hence they leave the children with their parents to take care (the whole day/night). My point still stands, our Parents only help to oversee, not obligated to take care nor to discipline them. Let alone to wish that our parents can help them with schoolwork etc. All these are the parent's job and responsibilities. We cannot expect parents to do this and that. They are suppose to be enjoying life now, not to be your slave or your children's servant.   

Paris as at 11months 8days old :)

My Paris is 11months old! Time flies and she is turning one years old! She is our happy apple, Princeton lovely playmate, daddy's gem & my pil's baobei. I'm thankful that their grandparents do not belong to those typical old folks, whose traditional values promoted having many offspring, preferring sons over daughters. I felt these thinking is very silly, as i can see many real life experience shows that daughters can take care of the family and show concern for their parents much more than the sons. So, please don't be so old fashion, boys and girls are to be equally loved and equally important. Unless you are telling me, you son is going to succeed the emperor's place. 

Paris started to eat her baby biscuits. We trained her eating the whole piece, and she could fisnished it by herself. She is using bottled straw to drink her water too. But still she prefered us to feed her from a cup, haha. 

Last sunday midnight, the viral fever attacked Princeton. He was still as active and smilely. He did not attend his child care, instead we brought him to see ah yee and zachary. He was fine during daytime. Siyong's father even praised him that he is a well behaved toddler who can sit still and eat a proper meal.  (Haven seen him haywired before, haha)

Tuesday, we brought him to the clinic for checkup. Then lunch with xiaolin and wenxian together with bb kyrine. Princeton always very excited to see kyrine. hee... Then we went for movie, The ZooKeeper. Princeton only managed to watch for an hour, then he wanted to go kiddy palace. I will not give up bringing him to the movie theatre. This time he is tired and not feeling well. I believed he will finished watching the next movie. Jiayou!

Today Princeton boy went back to school. Very happy to see all his friends:) Hopefully he can get well soon and i know that each time he is sick, makes him a stronger boy.

The birth of my nephew ~ Lee Ke Jie Zachary

The day we had been awaited for, is finally here! My sister had successfully delivered her boy, Zachary Lee:) Thank God for the short and smooth labour. My nephew is so FAIR, RADIANT,HANDSOME,CUTE, ADORABLE, he is PERFECT :)

Look very much like my jie fu, so you can imagine how good looking he can be hor. wahaha!!!! Thick eyebrow, big eyes and is very 'hairy', LOL!!! Well, to be frank, not every babies are born so beautifully. We belonged to the lucky ones, as the children do not have any Jaundice. That's why the food we eat during pregnancy are so important. Your bb is what you eat... esp when we are breastfeeding. 

My sister only put on 7-8kg for her total weight gain. Power right?? Won mine, which was 8.5-9kg. She had balanced and healthy diet, and she tried to eat only food with high fibres and high protein. Less on carbohydrates as carbo will turn into sugars. ( not advisable to take in too much for preggy women) She took tonics too just like me. We were fortunate to have mother/mil to brew birdnest/soup every week. Even till now, my mum would still brew herbal tonic for me bi weekly. So do my mil. Many said that after birth, we woman will turn haggard and old. Yes i agreed.... but of course there are minority who can maintain as they took the effort to eat well during the confinement, and even after the 40days, they still eat the good food. So i hope my sis will be a good girl, rest as much as she could.

What good genes Zachary have:) I will dote this nephew of mine, just like my own son. As i had two lil Ps to handle, i'm sorry that i do not have much time to buy things for my sis... I'll make sure my ang bao will be the biggest ok??? haha!!! Will be ordering the floor mat for Zachary soon. Princeton and Paris fall in love with their cousin at first sight :p Princeton automatic disinfect himself with the steriliser provided, and told him me that he wanted to "sayang" Zachary. Xin kept touching the bb and smiles.

Thank GOD again for little children. I am started to imagine how fun and crowded my family will be! Hurray!

National Day! Gathering at Uncle William's place!

Thanks Uncle William and Aunt Sharon for the wonderful lunch & dinner! Yup, we spend the National Day together again! Yippy! Sister and siyong bought a jersey for him plus a birthday cake. Thanks so much:) He really likes the Chelsea Jersey!

Aunt Sharon, mum, sis and i played mahjong, while the men had their poker cards games. Paris took her nap, but Princeton boy wanted to join in the mahjong. He sat on my lap, and watched me play. After awhile, he decided to go watch TV with Candice ahyee. I'm happy, won abit this time round. hee... It was 5pm, and Princeton boy getting cranky. He was tired:( Yes i agreed with my uncle, cannot always use tired as an excuse. If he is tired, then he must learn to go to the sofa and lie down. He shouldn't always get grouchy whenever he is tired. Sad right? So old le, still no sign of improvement.

I do not wish to end up like a Helicopter Parents:( Because i love my children. Overprotecting only will do them harm.

http://www.drsapadin.com/articles/featured/helicopter.php

This is an article to share with my friends, as well as to keep myself in reminder.  It is so meaningful that i read it 10 over times. I even printed out and paste it on my massage board.

Helicopter parents have good intentions, but they need to back off sometimes & allow their children to learn how to fight their own battles. Every time anything happens to today's college aged students, mom & dad are calling & raising hell. When will these young people become adults? I know how to say/write, but come to do of it, its difficult. But I'll still try my best to be on the right track. Cheerios! 

NDP celebration at PCS 080811

Every school had their ND celebration this morning, and the children/students were wearing red and white, holding their flags and waving happily! & Princeton boy was singing Happy birthday Singpore while we were driving him to school:)

I bought him two sets of clothing, (red&white) in the morning session, and ethic clothing for the afternoon. When we fetched him this evening, Teacher Shelly told me that Princeton had won the best clothing outfit for the Ethic outfit competition!! haha.... We didn't know there was a competition actually, just wanted to choose something nice and presentable for our boy.

Teacher Shelly dotes tian alot, just like teacher May (Princeton ex teacher who left some time ago).... She always likes to hold his hand while strolling even though tian was independent to walk with his partner. I was told by teacher shelly that Princeton could answered all the quiz correctly:) How many stars are there on the flag? what are the colors on the flag?  and what is the shape of the flag? Its 3 simple questions, but my boy made me proud! Well done my lil Prince. 

Zhenyu is on leave today. We watched a movie at Jurong Point, Planets of the Apes. Wow..... not a bad show, worth to watch it. After which, we went to book for our cruise trip coming Oct. As there were some changes of plan, we decided not to hold the birthday party for Paris, instead we will bring them for an enjoyable cruise ride. There are alot of kids facilities and they are going to love it:) This will be our first family tour, i hope many more to come by:) Thanks daddy for the arrangement!

Pre-celebration birthday for my greatest husband and the most wonderful dad!

This is the 11th years we are celebrating his birthday. Be it with other family members in the house, or with friends, be it with a big group of people, or just me only, my chubby hubby will be just as contented =)

This year, we wanted to make it a fine dinner together with our children. We do not like the idea of "Wait till the kids grow older" concept. Because, we never know if we could live for the next minute.... so why wait??

We reached at around 730pm. The place was bright and spacious, and The Line of buffet spread was indeed a wide variety. Princeton and Paris was curious looking around the place, and of course many eyes were on us, obviously. Zhenyu felt quite awkward why the whole row of people are smiling at us, and kept looking over our direction.

The waitresses were attentive and friendly too. The manager came over and welcome the lil Ps, gave Princeton boy a lollipop too! After settling down, big daddy quickly grabbed the food for the children. Tian had silver fish fried rice, and brewed chicken vege soup. He also ate one big bowl of fried noodles! Then he ended with some gummies and fruits. Paris was cheerful for the first part, but after that due to her teething, she was rather grouchy and sad:( Luckily it was towards the end of the dinner.... I was coaxing my princess, and soon she fall asleep after 15mins. The brother made zhenyu's day:) He was very well-mannered, cooperative and zhenyu was very pleased with it.

Though it was a challenging dinner for us, but we felt satisfied that we got a chance to spend a nice dinner with our children. Happy birthday Lao Gong! (from wifey and your precious ps)

Princeton during school lesson

Presbyterian Community Services Singapore (PCS) is managed by an Executive Committee whose members are elected annually by the Synod of the Presbyterian Church in Singapore. I chose this childcare centre for many reason. One of it was because it's just a block opposite my in laws place, second it's a church cc, and it teaches them the values i believed in:) Thirdly, it's non air con and the environment is clean and airy.

Princeton will be promoting to Nursery coming end of Oct. He is daytime toilet trained since last month. I didn't specially trained him, he just said he wanted to go to the toilet. I believed its peer influenced, when he sees most of his friends doing the same thing, he would want to be in the same group. However, if he wants to poo, he would tell me, mummy i want to poo poo, i want to wear diaper to poo. I would still wear the diaper for him. 

Today their school is taking class photos. Princeton wore his new pair of shoes and he was excited about it! Kept saying, later take photo must smile pretty pretty. hahaha! But collection of the photos i guessed got to wait for one month or so. I remembered, he used to take the front seat, but now he is sat right behind (the last row). Well, not bcoz he is older or bigger size than the rest. hmm... I hope he can get a seat somewhere infront, so that he could be able to pay more attention and learn/absorb even better.

This morning, the whole sky was so dark. The downpour was about to come, i was praying please rain only after Princeton reached the school. While we were in the car, my bb suddenly sang : Rain rain go away, come again another day, little Princeton little Princeton want to play. (very clearly pronounced). As i was driving, therefore not in time to video it down. And you know wat?? God seems to hear his song, and the rain came after he step into the classroom. Thank God!

TABLE gathering on sat and Dinner at Marche 313 on sunday

It was a happening weekday for us and the lil Ps. We had the 4th round of Table steamboat dinner, at Jasline's parent place at Toh Guan. It was full attendance this round time:) Soon, our group will be more crowded with the arrival of Javier and Delwayne (hope i spell it correctly). We are waiting for jasline good news ya? haha.

The children enjoyed themselves alot, especially during the cake cutting celebration. I was planning to give zhenyu and wentong a surprise, who knows Princeton's eyes was fast enough to see the candles. He was shouting ' i want birthday cake!' Zhenyu was joyous to blow off his 31st birthday candle together with his precious boy and wentong. The Bongs left first, as Jaden was tired and wentong got to work on Sunday. Just before the Aws was about to leave, Delroy took out Thomas train and Princeton boy wanted to play with it. But they were leaving, hence Princeton was sad and frowned.. Delroy said no immediately, haha. And both of them started crying together. Princeton boy still upset over the Train, we tried coax him by candles and cakes. He wasn't pleased at all... we left him alone then. After awhile, he cooled off and told me mummy let's go home.

Sunday we woke up quite early at 8am. Took an afternoon nap with the children. Zhenyu and i decided to bring them for a walk at orchard and dinner at Marche. Been a long time since we had the food there. The place was very children friendly, (with built in playground) and the service was better than expected. Princeton boy was so hungry that he kept eating his big plate of rice and mash potatoes! He drank half a bowl of mushroom soup too! A pity he do not want to try beef and pork.... Zhenyu bought 2 plates of Rosti with chicken sausages to share. A salmon steak for me, a seabass fillet for mummy and a sirloin steak for himself! We tried their fruit crepes and fresh fruit juices. And end up with ice cream desserts. 

Sister called, and wanted us to go over her place. Actually we wanted to stroll around the place lol. Her friend Junn and lil Eliz were there too. We took some photos and they needed to go home, as it was 9pm and Eliz was tired. Princeton boy was happily mopping the floor, after which he watched some youtube clips with ah tio. We left about ten thirty? bcoz Paris was making noise.... need to train her to sleep anywhere/anyplaces. hee.... 

 

I just came home from a Medical checkup( sponsored by Prudential). They took 3big bottles of blood from me. LOL.... My eyesight was perfect, haha... weight and height was OK (no overweight nor underweight),  but my blood pressure was extremely low, 70/40! The doctor was worried, and asked if i felt giddy. I said no, only hungry, wahaha.

I did a pap smear test as well, the whole report will be sent to me 2 weeks later. Everything should be fine! Cheerios.
