Paris's musical lesson:)

This morning, as usual both lil Ps woke up really early. I'm very sleepy, as yesterday i couldn't sleep at all (due to the tonic my mil brew). Drove hubby to changi camp at 6pm, i almost dozed off on the way back! Came home, bath and prepared Princeton boy. As we were early, we went for mac breakfast before his phonics started. Who koes after eating, he poo...... and poo ALOT. Brought him to the toilet and clean him up, then quickly go for his phonics lesson.

Roamed around the market for an hour. Went to stock up some necessities, and some health supplements for the family. Calcium pill for me and my mum, vitamin C for all of us. Went to the Chinese medical hall to stock up <Pao shen> as well, because I'm always feeling tired. After Tian's lesson, he said he wanted to eat noodles, so i brought him to the market for lunch. He ate almost one plate.....! Good appetite:) 

We then drove home and fetch Paris and maid.. i took a quick bath, so do Princeton. The weather is simply too hot and humid, freaking burning hot day. Princeton finished his one litre of water in 3hours time. 

Reached the music place at 2pm. Half an hour early. Paris was happy with the environment as it was cooling and toys entertaining her. Soon came another gal, 11months. They were interacting... looking at each other where suddenly that girl pushed Paris down:( The cry bb of course screamed on top of her voice lol. But within one min OK le. Made her second attempt to go near that friend again! And Paris was being pushed down the second time. I was near her, but wasn't paranoid, because i felt its perfectly OK for children to push&pull around and beat around. Snatch toys here and there. If not they are not children already. As long not head injury, or life threatening, let them be. No point being a helicopter parents, scared this scared that. This is the experience i had learnt. My naive and overprotective reaction had caused Princeton to be 'timid', lack of confident, and slow in his speech. 

I'm OK when my children cry. But I'm worried when they make others cry.... Will feel very guilty when they caused unhappiness to others. Hopefully all parents can be more open in the way, don't get too worried when our child gets hurt. They gonna learn in some way or another. But i must make sure the lil Ps don't get too violent (biting or poke people's eyes, hit their head etc) Fortunately, i haven seen such acts. Even pushing, Princeton had never do that before, at most only snatch toys:p Paris only push her brother loh. Others she don't dare.

Today was a trial for us, as recommended by Xiaolin. The class was crowded with 6 babies! Usually only 3, maximum 4. I am positive with the teaching styles, and i like the teacher alot. A very approachable teacher and friendly too. I would like to enroll Paris for the class, but the time slot for her age group is currently full. Need to be on waiting list.... She will get back to us again.

Princeton boy got hay wired towards the end of the lesson:( The teacher's son snatch the toys from him, and this big baby cry. Very embarrassed. Quickly say sorry to them and explain to Tian that these are not his toys, he said he wanna go home play bubble. We left the place, and he was OK again. Phew..... Reached home, he knocked out within 5mins. Play bubble in his dreamland lol.... How i wished he can understand that being tired is not excuse for throwing tantrums.

Paris also another pampered one. Girls very difficult to teach.... bcoz i don't bear to beat daughters. Zhenyu and ah ma confirmed won't discipline.... Don't mentioned about my inlaws, the way they kiss and hug her, i know 'finished' already. hahaha....

A great experience today. I hope to bring Paris out to explore more gyms and people. Want her to interact more so that her first day of school wouldn't be too dramatic:p

Singapore parents, Singapore children

Seldom bring my gem out alone, without her brother especially... Only to the park 15mins walk from our block, or just downstairs for a stroll. Told myself from today onwards, whenever i go, i'll bring along Paris, because very soon she will be going to child care centre ~ which is 6more months. Anyway most of the time she is with me, coz my concept is whenever i go, my children goes. Just don't like the idea of leaving them at home. Unless very sick (touch wood!) But if very sick, shouldn't i stay at home and take care of them?? It's quite ironic that some parents can enjoy themselves outside/going overseas without their children.

Anyway there is no absolute right or absolute wrong. Excuses often can make things sound abit right, but whether or not it's up to individual. Most importantly, we are happy lor. Other people's business i couldn't care much, but if i do make comment, i really mean i care. Example my sis and my close friends. My sis had a hard time handling this naughty Zachary. I gave her the encouragement that difficult babies will turn out to be easy children. Ever since the birth of Zac, i felt my sis changed alot. She changed into a person that will seek advice, hear advise, and share experiences. Not that last time she couldn't, but just that now she do it in a more humble way and of course i like it! hee.... Now scold her she also can take it. She understand that people say her for a reason. Last time she might thought that everything she must be right, refused to heed advice. Oops.

I have faith, she will be a successful mother cum wife. A noble working mum who can do wonders. Her thinking are close to mine. If there's a differences, i'll be glad to share mine with her. Whenever i have got dilemma, the first person i would talk to is my sis. 

When a third person discipline my children, I'm really thankful for that. Because some blind spots, i really couldn't rectify. So if people reprimand my children, i am more glad to take it. On the other hand, if we can't do that, (which means we always think never mind they are still young, or always find excuses to side them, or have the thinking: Mind your own business). Then there's only one consequence ~ let your child rot and become a piece of shit.

People don't say for fun. People don't comment because they got nothing better to do. Just like teachers, if the school teacher feedback that your child very naughty, kept bringing games into the classroom to play. Are you going to say, oh because he is bored??! 

If one day i became so stubborn, please help me by waking me up.

Deepavali at The Chevrons

Did not bring the lil Ps to Vivo today. As Zhenyu said it's an ideal weather to bring the kiddos for a swim! The dad insist today Vivo sure very crowded... maybe wait till normal weekdays then bring them for the 'balloon place'.

Paris woke up at 730, and Princeton woke up at 930. We told them about the swimming plan, and Princeton prepared and get ready very fast! Brush his teeth, and changed up within 10mins. Took the float and wore his sandals. We got ready everything, and set off at 1030.

The weather was perfect today while we were in the pool. The other time was abit too sunny. Princeton had learnt to kick his legs in order to move around the pool. So do meimei! Two of them were competing who could be faster. Paris swam around 20mins, and i quickly brought her to bath and changed her up. Let her drink some hot milk and put on a sweater for her. As it gets more windy... Princeton was still playing happily with his dad. They were practising who can grab the watch that was being threw inside the water. Princeton was sank inside the water a few times, but stood up himself:) hee.... Initially he was quite scared, but later on he got used to it. We wanted to train him not to be afraid of the water. Once he got into Kindergarden one, i'll register him for the swimming lesson held by the child care centre.

We had lunch at Han's, everyone of us was hungry. Esp the lil ones! Princeton ate one whole plate of mushroom omelette, half a bowl of mushroom soup,one small bowl of fried rice, and a small plate of spaghetti. Paris ate one bowl of fried rice, then fall asleep already, haha!!! She is really tired! We went to the mini library, and Princeton had some fun there. After which we went to the bowling alley to play pool. Seems like Princeton had the same interest as hubby:) He is knee in learning:p

By the time we were about to leave, the rain started pouring. Wow... heavy rain. Zhenyu drove the car to the shelter, and we were safe from getting wet. Paris was still sound zzz.... Reached home around 3pm, changed the kids and coax them to sleep. Princeton nap from 4pm to 6!! Two solid hours.

He was lazy to wake up, until i said, Zachary is HERE!! He immediately get out of the bed and ran to the living room to welcome his cousin! Paris woke up from her nap shortly, and was smiling happily when she saw ah tio and Zachary:)

We had a fantastic dinner and almond dessert. Thanks to mum for all the hard work. Tomorrow gota start preparation for my upcoming exam this Monday. This is the toughest paper of the 3 modules. Please let my brain absorb as much as possible.  

Camping inside the tent

Ah tio bought this Toy Story Tent for Princeton boy when he was 3years old. Princeton loves playing camping with his meimei. The tent makes me think of the old days, when i used to play with ah boy. Of course we do not have such nice tents, we used our mattress to set up a tent, and we will play inside, laughing secretly. Fun and memorable moments....

This morning went marketing with Zhenyu, as tomorrow sister and jie fu will be coming back for dinner. Bought One whole kampong chicken, as well as one black chicken (to brew tonic for sis and myself), Salmon and pomfret, lean pork meat (you ba), pork kidneys&Liver, and some green vege. Cost $50++ ..... Because sis came back only once a week, so i usually will spend abit more for her:) Usual days we also eat nice food, but tmr will be even better. The lil Ps will have their cod fish with broccoli and potatoes, steam egg and soup. All planned:) This is our dinner tonight. The soup was not captured. Thanks mummy for the nice cooking!!

Princeton boy begin to eat some vegetables now. And he started to drink fruit juices (non-iced). He likes grapes juices and fruit punch, haha. It's a PH tomorrow, hubby and i going to bring the children out for some fun. Then come back around late noon for Zachary!

Today my first paper i felt was a bad start, many things goes wrong.... haiz. Dun wanna talk about it. It's over, i just gonna enjoy my day tmr! Happy Deepavali everybody!

Outing alone with the little Ps

Tian&Xin din not have a good sleep last night. Especially Tian... Kept tossing around. Perhaps its too hot, but i can't on the air con as he was having slight cough. I did not sleep the whole night.... thus this morning i was having headache and really sleepy.

The lil Ps woke up as early as 730, i woke up Zhenyu around 9am, asked him to bring Tian to Pioneer Mall to see doctor. He was very sleepy as well, replied he got no confident to bring Tian alone. I got quite worked up and told him to get up to bring Tian for breakfast. He actually could replied, don't bothered me, i wanted to sleep!

He wasn't in his usual self, i was frustrated and get up to bath myself, and got the children prepared. He realised his mistakes and apologized, said he will get ready and join us. I ignored him, and in less than half an hour, i brought the two of them out alone. He can sleep all he wants! 

You are the one who said will make effort to spend time with your son, to bring him for a walk or to accompany him alone (without me). So that Tian will also stick to you and follow you. Now i gave you this chance, and you said you are tired! Yah, i understand last night you helped me with your notes till 2am, that's why this morning you are too lethargic to wake up. But come on, i never bothered you to take care of the children at night. You should be thankful for that.

I was really mad, carried everything and Paris, hold Princeton's hand and walked out of the house. Brought them to PM for mac breakfast, thereafter Princeton went to see the doctor. He was given some cough mixture, and till now he hasn't cough yet. Guess he had recovered. (Pray hard he don't spread to xin....)

Fortunately, the children were very well behaved during breakfast today. Could sit still when i was queuing for food and finished the food mannerly. It was an enjoyable breakfast:) My first experience bringing out the kids alone. Not that difficult ya:) I got confident to bring them out for outing in the future!

We came home around 130, zhenyu came down to fetch us back. He was sorry, but too late, I'm still pissed off. He said no more next time for his reaction today. I only asked that he can be more confident in handling the children. Yes, we are tired, but when come to them, we must be able to throw our tiredness behind and put them in first place. He himself also said before, Parents must take ownership, must be able to think that handling children is an enjoyment not a hassle. Many people always think its very tiring, playing with the kids or taking care of them became a 'Chore' or a 'duty' instead of a pleasant habit/ or i should say a usual activity to do everyday.

Today really not his usual self, but anyway he had apologized and since we are back, he had been spending time with the children. Just wanna bring across the massage that, be glad when your wife is dependent on you. I can be very independent, but if that happened, please be worried. I could handle the children solely, no problem! But i wanted to get you involved, because you are the dad. I'm not trying to make things difficult for you, but I'm trying to strengthen your relationship with the kids. We can do everything for the children, just to see their smiles and laughter.   

Joey&Junjie's second Prince Lucas!

We attended Lucas bb shower this afternoon at Jalan Kayu. Big semi detached house... spacious, wide varieties of food. That's Joey's parent house, rich people.... hee. Junjie was my ex navy friend, he was one of the NSF whom i get to know during Navy days. He was one of the brothers during our wedding day too.

Joey obviously slimmed down very very fast. My... wonder how she do it. She put on around 18kg! Now left 8 kg back to her prenatal weight. She is a sahm and will be taking care of her elder son Lewis as well as her full month bb Lucas. Great and responsible mother. No wonder JJ loves her so much!

Princeton was in good mood initially.... until Lewis had his 'AK47' out. Haiz... Princeton boy wanted to have the gun, he couldn't get it and cry. Gosh.... Big boy already still cry and throw tantrums. Really cannot make it. I thought he could share and take turns, but no. Yes, i understand that it was 5pm, very late and he must be very tired and therefore very crouchy. BUT still he shouldn't behaved like this. Luckily Joey took out some small guns to pacify him. He was ok after that. After some time, suddenly hear his crying again!!!! This time, dunno why Lewis beat him, and this cry baby cried out again:( Super MA LU...... Too pampered in school, because teacher always side him, dote him more than others.

He cool down then.... joined in Lewis in fish catching games again. Princeton finding fault this time, used the toy to drink water in a wrong way. Trying to be funny. Zhenyu went over and forbid him, then he 'tap' on zhenyu's face. Not really beat i think. THANK GOD, zhenyu didn't punished him. Phew...... But because i stared at him, he got very upset and cried again. This time he wanted me to carry.... My friends were about to leave, so we left together.

Last night we slept late, and woke up early today. That explained his behaviour this afternoon. But still, he shouldn't just cry and cry.... So big size, people will be thinking why is this 5 years old being so spoilt. Quite disappointed with him.... ALthough initially he was quite OK. He needs to learn to understand, these toys belonged to Lewis, not his.

Paris was the happiest today. There were quite a few rides for her to play. And the place was very spacious for her to ride around, kept smiling all day. Even Junjie could carry her and walk about. We reached home at 6, the lil Ps fall asleep in the car, and nap all the way till 8...... We just finished dinner. I'm very tired actually. But thinking of playing with them, my energy came back!

Hope to have a great Sunday as well!

Mum's 60th birthday celebration~!

Yesterday evening, we brought mum to Vivocity Crystal Jade for dinner. We went to many other outlets before, JP, Great world, causeway point, HV, Taka, Suntec etc. But Vivo Crystal Jade very different from other outlets. The place was posh, in red and black deco. We were seated at a seaview looking opposite sentosa island. The best thing about it was the service. One word, Excellent. The managers wearing in coat were all very attentive. Very. They offered to help me carry to pram all the way to the table when we reached, and when we left. Even the service staffs were well mannered. We are serviced like VIPs, thumbs up. 

The food was nice, and i believed the dim sum are fantastic too.Tmr hubby say will bring us there for dim sum:) No wonder my friend Junjie love to go there. Good food, good service. Of course price tally with everything.... Princeton and Paris enjoyed the dinner alot too. With Zachary around, makes them double happy, haha....

God, please bless my mum with good health. I hope to bring happiness to her everyday, with my lil Ps and zac, I'm sure ah ma's life will be filled with excitement and laughter, haha!!! Sis and i love you alot!! Happy birthday mummy!

A Nice and Happy Day

Today was Zhenyu's second day off:) As promised, we went for a movie . After fetching Princeton to school, we had our breakfast at the market, after that we bought breakfast home for my mum and quickly head to Jurong Point. Mum was helpful to oversee Paris for me, hee.... So that me and hubby can have some quality time together.

It's a sci-fi horror alien show, story plot OK, graphic effects not bad. But we still preferred the last show we watched ~ Real Steel! After movie, we went straight to Bonia and got mum a birthday present. She said she wanted a nice dinner bag, and we granted her wish:) I chose the latest design of all. I couldn't afford a LV/Gucci bag for mum, only could buy her a $300plus handbag. When i go back to workforce, i will buy more bags/perfumes/shoes for my precious mummy! 

After buying the present, we went Prima Deli to order a birthday cake. Tmr we will be celebrating at Vivo city. I had make the reservation at Crystal Jade as well:) Shall buy her a bouquet of flowers too! Happy 60th birthday mummy! The most beloved ah ma the little Ps and zachary can have, the most fabulous mother-in-law Siyong and Zhenyu can ever ask for. Thank you for everything, because of you, life is so colourful!

Went back to my inlaws place for dinner this evening, they prepared tonic soup for me and zhenyu again. Don't put on weight also difficult, haha... But its OK, as long i stay healthy, i will have the strength and confident for my children. Princeton boy always overeat at my inlaws place, really big appetite. He had two bowl of pork porridge, two bowl of fish soup, then he ate butter with biscuits. All within an hour...... Luckily he is tall, weigh 17.6kg now:)

Very happy these few days, as hubby can off and keep us accompany. Tomorrow will continue my exam revision then bring Paris to the park nearby.

Zhenyu is back!

Last night Hubby is back from his 10 days sailing! He came back one day earlier:) Thank God for his safe return and smooth sailing. I went Changi Naval Base to fetch him at 9pm. The children were waiting anxiously for him at home.

When we reached home, the children were screaming in joy and Princeton boy ran over to hug his dad! Paris crawled as fast as she could, kept calling papa papa! I didn't video it in time, only managed to captured the second part. Zhenyu was over the moon, he was so touched that the lil Ps misses him so much. Princeton boy expressed his feelings to his dad, "daddy i missed you alot, you go work very tired right?" Dad replied, i missed you alot too. Why daddy need to go work? Princeton said, daddy go work earn money buy milk buy diaper buy present for me and meimei. 

Zhenyu saw the class photo, and was very pleased with it. We bought one set for my pil also, like we did last year. Glad to see Princeton boy is growing more sensible and obedient, more independent and more adaptive. We wish our children can be in pink of health, grow up to be a useful person to the society, to be filial and sees the importance of respecting, honouring, and loving the parents/grandparents, through the best and the worst of times.

Yesterday, when Princeton boy asked me to piggy back him, i did so and he was laughing happily. Out of the sudden, he said ," Mummy when you grow old, i will also carry you like this." My eyes were all red, and i wanted to cry out! No words could desribed how touched i felt that moment.

Hubby is back, finally.... Days without him makes me very independent, haha.... With him back, makes me very lazy. heehee.... Now i'm serving net, and he's helping me with my notes:p Thanks hubby! Tmr treat you go movie and eat popcorns!

Gladys's second Prince Delwain

Gladys, my close friend during secondary days, and to date we are still as good:) Sat, we attended her baby boy's full month celebration. They held a buffet dinner at their place. Princeton napped at 3.30pm that afternoon, and managed to wake up only at 5.30. By then Paris had her porridge and after bathing the two of them, we set off at 7pm.

We bumped into May and wentong with Jaden when we reached the void deck. Princeton boy was rather shy when he reached, because the place was crowded with strangers. He went over to greet Aunty Jas and Uncle Mic, thereafter had dinner together with them. The food was left minimum, as the event started at 5pm... They quickly went downstairs to top up the food. Nowadays, the catering food got lesser and lesser. In the past, when we catered for 30people, the food was good enough for 50people. But not anymore.... 30 means 30.... just right. If one person eat 2,3 more servings, then it wouldn't be sufficient. Therefore, i always very kiasu, sure order alot, let them eat till they overload, haha!!

Delwain is a beautiful baby. Nice features and nice complexion! Just like his parents, jeremy is good looking and Gladys is fair, gentle and pretty. What good genes they have! Princeton and delroy can clicked very well, though they always like to snatch toys together. But never mind, as long they don't fight lol. Even girls they also have the same preference... gosh...Was trying to see who can hold enen's hand that night!

We left around 12midnight... and there were still friends who stayed later than us. Gladys must be very tired. But she is fortunate because Jeremy is the one who will take care of the children at night. Yup, 100% take care. He dotes Gladys alot, and said that daytime she had enough of tiredness, night time he will handle himself. Zhenyu always said, Jeremy is his role model to follow as a husband, as a dad. I don't compare my husband with others, but he himself will make sure he is up to my standard. I will also ensure i'm up to his requirement, although he never request anything to me before. But no matter how compromising a couple can be, sure will have conflicts and arguement. But at the end of it, have to talk things out, solve the problem and get things going.

"Woman were not taken from a man's feet, to be under him,
nor were they taken from his head, to be above him. Woman
were taken from his side, to stand beside him and be
held close to his side. Support man as the rib cage supports the body." If we bear this in mind, it should not go too wrong.

Paris in her 13months

Sometimes i couldn't believe i'm a mother of two. But the fact is, Yes i am. Paris is 13month now, and she is in her walker, walking step by step. Thinking the day she will be chasing after her brother makes me laugh.... I am contented with my life now, especially the time i could spend with my little Ps. To me, taking care of them is not a hassle, but an enjoyment. Perhaps because i'm not working, that's why i felt this way. But please bear in mind i'm studying, so its as stressful. Just that i don't present my trouble infront of me doesn't mean things  goes very easily for me. But i'm thankful i got a supportive husband who doesn't let me worry too much about $$. 

I am constantly thinking where to bring them, and what activities i can have for them. Even at home, there would be story telling time, drawing time and playing time. The siblings love to cook, and enjoy building legos. Every morning, i will be thinking what food to buy for them, what meals should they eat today. Paris's appetite is getting big, and i got to be creative in making up delicious healthy meals for her. Today i bought some blackbean and peanuts, will brew it for them to drink tomorrow. 

Princeton and Paris love to go over my inlaws place. Princeton would ask me, are we going yeye's place today? My mil would cook their favourite food and prepare snacks for them after meals. Fortunately, they both are as glutton as their dad :) But my rule still stands, proper meal first before any bread and biscuits (snacks). When they are hungry, or straving, they eat everything infront of them. Table manners still applies, that is no tv, no storybook, no games, no iphone, no toys, no running around when they are having meals. No shaking of legs, cannot kiao ka etc. I'm not being demanding ya, these are basic manners.

Tmr we are going to Gladys house for Delwain bb shower. Next week is Junjie's place for Lucas bb shower. I super bo eng, haha.... Both are their second Prince. More bb for the lil Ps to see and love!

I took photos for the lil Ps everyday. I try my best to capture the both of them together. I also took video of them everyday, really hope to keep all these memories. Waiting for zhenyu to come back and show him the days he had missed out. Many movies waiting for you to come back and watch with me!

Javier's bb shower on sat/Hui En birthday party on sunday

We had a packed program last weekend. Saturday we attended my best pal's second Prince Javier bb shower. Brought the lil Ps along, and they really enjoyed alot, especially Princeton boy. After an hour so, Paris went back for a nap, she still can't nap at a crowded place. Hubby brought her and my helper home then came back and joined us. It was a joyful event, people giving their blessing to baby Javier. He has got big eyes and is a tall baby, haha. Glad that my pal had did a good confinement this time round, and hope jingyang can be a gd and healthy baby.

Sunday we attended Jiamin's daughter 2yrs old birthday. They held a steamboat dinner, and it was a sumptuous one! The fishes were very fresh, and i like the curry alot! Princeton boy ate one big bowl of fish rice too. The place was crowded and hot.... bcoz of the steamboat, all of us were sweating. We took some photos, and Princeton boy was busy eating his fishball, doesn't want to take photos. Hubby got angry over this, as his son was not cooperating. He punished Tian by pulling him to the kitchen and threw away his fishball. Princeton cried and got very upset over it. I wasn't pleased of course:( Come on lah, he didn't do any big mistakes, he just didn't look at the camera that's all! Why make a big fuss?! In the end, Princeton mood was fouled, and he kept wanting me to carry. I was coaxing Paris at the same time, as she wanted me to carry her to zzz. In the end i got to pass her over to the maid, and my poor gal screamed badly:( Both the lil Ps are my superglue... A gd thing, maid still able to handle Paris, if not I'm doomed. Whenever Princeton got upset, he would want me to carry him... He felt ashamed to be punished outside, that's why he wanted to hide "inside" me.

I just felt hubby was too harsh. There's really no need to throw away his fishball and make him upset like that. Not as if he was throwing tantrums or he jump on the sofa, no manners etc. He doesn't want to look at the camera bcoz he wanted to eat his fishball! Please, our boy is not GOD, he cannot be perfect. Be thankful your son can sit still to have his meal, well mannered to call people, and can apologize when he is sorry. Don't take it for granted that all children have to be in this way. Be appreciative when our children are well behaved.

My poor boy is so upset the whole night. Just hope hubby won't take put too much stress on the children. I understand that we cannot spoilt the kids, as this daddy dislike toddlers being spoon feed and dislike children who are wild and stubborn. There was one time Princeton refused to put his shoes on the shoe rack and got caned. After which, Princeton always placed his shoes properly before he dashed to his playground. Yup, this i agreed with hubby that we gonna teach them the proper way. But the camera incident i felt it's too trivial. Most of the time Princeton will be cooperative to take photos, only that time bcoz he was eating his fav fishball that's y he doesn't want to take. Discuss and told zhenyu my point, and he promised next time he would not make a big hoo ha about small matters.

Hubby went for 10days sailing on Sunday midnight. I drove him to Changi Naval Base at 4am. The journey was really long.... and i almost dozed off! I'm struggling with my exams revision alone:( Zhenyu usually will revise with me, and helped me with my notes. Haiz.... felt so lonely lol. He will be back on the 20th, hopefully earlier:) We all missed you daddy!

Our first Family Trip

This is our first family trip! I remembered last year, zhenyu and i brought Princeton boy to Malaysia. Paris was too young, 3months plus only, therefore we didn't bring her along. This is a cruise to Malacca and Port Klang. But we didn't get down for the shore excursion, stayed all the way onboard ship as there were quite a few places for the children to play. 

Our first experience on a cruise with the children. Wow... indeed challenging! It's not easy really, but we felt the satisfaction and fulfillment:) There was an incident, Zhenyu was queuing to collect the boarding pass, the q was so so so long! Even though we are the Balcony Class, still very long! Can't imagine if we are at the stateroom class. The little Ps waited for half an hour at the waiting area. And they started to be cranky... the area is so crowded and stuffy... So i brought them to vivocity for a walk while hubby continue queueing. The tough part came.....:( I stomachache!!!!! At this point!!!! Princeton was eating fries at Burger King, and Paris was making noise as she was very tired, wanted to sleep already. My stomach was so so so in pain, going to POO ANYTIME!

Princeton asked me: mummy r u ok? Why your face like that? I was breathing so hard. Gosh.... Really bo bian, call hubby, asked him hurried over to rescue me! He dashed over in less than 5mins, and i quickly run to the nearest restroom (**''') Other than that, the rest still manageable.... Hubby said this 3d2n trip is even more xiong than his coming up 10 days sailing! heehee!!!

Thanks to the hardworking dad, who put in alot of effort these few days. I am proud to say, i got a rare husband who can do WONDERS! My credits ya.... haha. We kept encouraged each other that two of us can handle the both of them. No problem:) Indeed, we did it. Is just a method of time management and whether are we used to it. Zhenyu had promised a Farm stay at Australia next year! Kudos daddy!

Paris started drinking water from straw bottles, and milk from cups. She don't really fancy teats bottles. Eagered to see her first step to walk:) This trip had bonded the siblings one more level up. The whole cruise is filled up with indians and many foreigners. I guessed not many Sporeans.... The indians were so friendly and kept touching Paris's face. dot dot..... We counted, as many as 50 over people had 'sayang' Paris. Kept playing with her. Some mistaken her as a boy, even though i already dressed her up in hello kitty lol. Princeton was being carried by the indians too. They simply love kids.....

Nice experience i could say. With the lil Ps, its never too bored ^^ They kept us busy all day long. Glad to be back home! We missed ah ma.... and ah ma's homemade food, haha!

Paris down with cough and flu:(

Last Sunday, Princeton was having slight cough and running nose. After having a dosage of medicine, he recovered the very next day. Unfortunately, these bugs had been transmitted to my Paris:( She started sneezing and coughing. The fever came along, 37.8. I didn't want to wait and observe, because i'm afraid its UTI again. Brought her to TMC the next morning.

The PD heard her cough and lungs, could tell straight that it wasn't UTI. The flu caused the fever. I wanted to make sure, therefore Paris did a urine test as well. Great, the PD was right, UTI negative. She suggested to rent the nebulizer machine home and let her inhale for 4 days. I agreed, because Paris had Bronchitis history, don't wanna take it lightly, if not her lungs might get infected again.

Paris was indeed my brave gal, she did not scream or whined like a baby. She was rather scared, but we assured her by holding her hand tightly. And kept telling her this can help her to recover. The siblings play and sleep together everyday, its rather difficult to separate them. Tian bound to go hug his sister, and xin sure will call out for her brother. Now, xin could call me, mama very clearly. Whenever she saw me, or wanted me to carry, she would call out MAMA loud and clear:) So, ah ma first, mummy second. haha... See next is daddy or korkor?

Hopefully Paris immune system can be stronger when she grow. Falling sick is inevitable, especially when there are more than one children. Just gonna make sure they had their fish oil and vit c daily.

Tmr is sat! Children's Day:) Happy childrens' day my lil Ps! Stay happy cheerful and most of all, be healthy.
