Blessed 4 years old Princeton Boy!!

 Everyday i hope that they can eat well, and grow up fast. But on the other side, i don't wish that... I hope time can stop at this moment, this precious timeline, whereby i can spend my everyday with Tian&Xin.

Really love my current lifestyle now. Or perhaps i'm an easily contented person. The most important goal for me is to make sure P&P had a good and balanced diet, to play and have fun with Paris, and to do revision with Princeton when he is back from school. To coaxed them in bed, and hug them tight together. Then to watch my drama when they are sound asleep. Early morning, to do marketing, call and ask hubby what food he would like to eat tonight and make sure i got nice thread fin, pork ribs, vege etc. Occasionally to the salon for hair treatment, for facial spa and foot reflexology. 

To run errands of course is part of my 'job'. Zhenyu need not worry about any bills, bcoz whether the allowances he gave me is sufficient or not, i got to find my own ways to settle it. Credit card bills, SP bills, children school fees, insurances, maid salary... so many buckets of water, but i got only a few 'cover'... gotten find ways to cover each one so that no bucket will be spill.

So far me, the finance manager still coping well. Haha.... I'm good at accounting lol. Must balance my account every month.

We bought a small cake to celebrate Princeton's birthday yesterday. He was happy to cake cake, so just let him be happy lol..

I don't expect him to be exceptionally clever or special fast learner. I just hope he is willing to learn and be hardworking. Clever or not is God's will, but attitude is the most important in life.

Always my best boy, always proud of you. Happy birthday darling bb... You have grown up to be a more sensible child, a more obedient boy and a more hardworking young man. If there can be only one wish, mummy only wish for your good health, God please give your blessing to my son Princeton, keep him strong, keep him fit, keep him safe and in good health everyday.

101 things to stay YOUNG

Some people have beautiful features by nature. But most people don't. We need to make things happen and i believe there are no ugly woman, only lazy ones. So, which are the top 5 lists which i felt is the most important in staying young??

First complexion!! You can have the sexiest body, but your pimple and dry skin made you look so haggard and aged 10 years more:(
Solution: Moisturize! Dry skin looks dull and lackluster. So not only do you want to use a moisturizer on your face (including an eye cream) but also on your hands and body. And since your hands especially get a lot of abuse, and can show age almost more than your face, keep some hand cream handy at your desk or by the sink. Always use sunscreen! We all know that the sun is the single most damaging thing to your skin, so make sure to protect ourselves!

Second: Take good care of our teeth. Our smiles are very important, and imagine people seeing our yellowish teeth. Sad to say many people at our age already need to have filled tooth and soon it will became a decayed tooth. Some worst, had lost 1 or 2, so when smiled, (Bo Kay became very obvious)... It's really time for me to visit the dentist real soon.

Third: Our black and shiny hair. Say NO to colour/dye hair. Chemicals will only damaged our hair and caused it to be dry and fizzy. It would add on to hair loss and bald hair in the future. So, let's love our hair by giving hair spa weekly. People with thick and black hair looks ten years younger. Let our hair shine by using good moisturizer and hair mask. Oh yes, one more ~ Eyebrow. DO not over trimmed our eyebrow till it became one straight pathetic line. Then we start using pencil to draw and draw till it became so fake. People look younger in black eyebrows.

Fourth: Watch our diet. What we eat is what we are. Same old theory, but not everyone can follow. Make sure that you drink at least 8 glasses of water a day. It will help your body stay hydrated and flush it free of toxins as well. At the same time, it will make your face glow and shine.

Fifth: START to EXERCISE! I always wanted to..... getting more and more flabbly. Haiz...

There are of course many other factors which are important too. The above are my top 5 which i wanted to fulfill. I do not want to become one fat and ugly auntie in another 5 years down the road.

So, dear hubby and my LiL Ps, please cooperate and stop making mommy angry ok?

MY TERRIFIC P&P

Very happy these few days:) Princeton&Paris are well behaved, and most importantly in good health and Zhenyu smooth sailing in his career. Princeton birthday is coming! My ex ploy friends wanted to come over my place for gathering, and i was thinking to throw him a birthday party. Invited Princeton's classmates, his ex teachers and some close friends. Mostly children and babies lol...hee... 

Princeton wanted to have "Avengers" cake design. After that he changed his mind to Chipmunks. Now he said Batman.... This fickle minded boy really troublesome. Anyway cake design is a small matter, Zhenyu wants me to focus on the food. I told Princeton about his upcoming birthday party, he is over the moon! Jumped and shouted horray:)

I had enrolled Paris in Zoo Phonics, and she will start her lesson in July. First week of June, there will be one week holiday programme for the toddler class, and Paris will be joining:) Starting from July, she will attend twice a week, 1.5hours. Until 30months she will move on to daily class 2 hours. I do hope she will learn well at Zoo Phonics, just like Princeton.

Excited to see my Princess wearing school uniform, attending school with peers =)

Moms Make Children Blossom!

Happy Mother's Day to all the marvelous and beautiful mommies!! Especially to my beloved mother, aka lil ps ah ma, thank you for loving us so much! You had a hard time in your early part life, but i assured you will be the most fortunate and happiest woman as long as I'm alive.

My mum is getting older, and she had been falling sick quite often recently. I sincerely pray for her well being and her speedy recovery. She still worried about my grandma, who is very weak, lying on the bed most of the bed. Grandma is 93 years old, very weak...but her minds are clear and sharp. I tried my best to buy the diapers and milk over for grandma. At times when I'm busy, my mum got to carry all these stuffs alone, taking bus, walking under the hot sun. I felt very heartache and sad, very touched... yes. But would felt furious when i thought why must she be the one doing it everytime??!

I always ask Princeton, what happened when mummy grow old?? He would replied, 'i will bath you and i will take care of u. Then he will hug me. Zhenyu saw this, and he asked immediately, what about daddy??? Princeton will say, No.. i only take care mummy:p I would sneered, and quickly correct him by saying, Princeton, you must love daddy also. You must take care of mummy and daddy together.

People sees that i pampered Princeton alot. But never get to see how lunatic i became when i punished him. Zhenyu and maid would know best. These few days especially, dunno what had gotten with me, super foul mood, got irritated easily. Seriously sick last week, and the screws must have loosened! Darn.... Or perhaps my requirements/standards for Princeton had moved on to a higher level.

Children throwing tantrums before one is cute. Before two is naive, before 3 is childish, before 4 is irritating, untrained, no discipline, wild, spoilt! My level of tolerance can only last till this stage. I wished God can give me strength to overcome my impatience. Give me wisdom to coach the children in a more efficient and less harshly manners. It's really a pain to keep shouting and screaming and beating.

Whatever i do, i do it for the best interest for my LiL Ps. I may be harsh, but it's for your own good. Dear Princeton, you must grow up to be an obedient and sensible boy. You are a big korkor now, you need to set a good example for your sister and your brother Zachary. You can be naughty, you can be mischievous, but you cannot be defiant. You got to learn through pain and you will be tougher. Or you can choose to learn through words, and became wiser. I always tell him these, make the right choice.

Stay@homeSunday

Bad week... All started off with a car accident on the 2nd May Tuesday. Thank God me and Tian were OK. Went to Mount E for x-ray, no fracture, but no guarantee for internal injuries. Coincidentally, Tian was down with flu:( A pretty bad one which caused fever as well. Then it was Zhenyu's turn... stomach flu and serious running nose. Then today my lil princess was down with fever. My nightmare had began:( Soon, i caught the flu bug too. Popped 4 panadols, i must make sure i will recover by tmr!! 

Although Tian had fever last few days, he was just as active and energetic. Brought him to the clinic, it was 38.8. Doctor commented that his threshold of pain was at a higher level. Fortunately he could express his pain by telling me, 'mummy my head is very hot already' Otherwise it might be a danger because he doesn't even look sick.

Paris started to feel feverish this morning too. We fed her some medicine, and surprising she is willing to take!! We tried to coax her by praising her, good girl! She took it without much fuss. Unlike in the past, she would screamed and cried the roof down! Both of them were sick... both became super glue to me. Paris is a vinegar jug, always bully her brother and beat him. Princeton tried to give in, but the naughty sister just got worse. Haiz....

Stay at home whole day... rushing my revision. Last paper this Wed, chiong ah!!!! After that i am a free bird, and Paris will start her phonics lesson soon:)

These few days, Tian appetite was so bad. Afew spoon of bee hoon, a few scope of rice. Good thing he drank soup. Zhenyu's appetite was affected too. Pray that all of us can fully recover and enjoyed my upcoming long holidays!!

Yesterday we met up with Uncle william and cousin for Mother's day dinner. I'm so sorry, we were so late, and caused everyone to wait. Very sorry... we promised no more next time, if not we will be punished. hmm...... by singing everyone a song?

Next weekend will be the actual day of Mother's Day. We wish for good health and a good family dinner:)

Swim Pool on Labour Day

Sister dated me last week, that she wanted to bring Zachary to the pool on Labour Day. I agreed! Informed Princeton and Paris about the outing yesterday, and they were so happy! Paris said "I WANT!" Haha.... Princeton woke up at 7am this morning, look at me and said :"mummy, time to go Chevrons??" I said :NO! Still early, go back to sleep." Then he dozed back. This boy is yearning to go to the pool.

Reached at 11am, and we quickly get ready to go into the pool. Before that, of course have to take photos first! Heehee... This is my style, therefore my children got to follow my pattern. It was a sunny morning. Luckily quite windy... I applied SPF 50 all over my body, and powerful UV lotion on my face. Must take good care of our complexion.... old le, skin easily wrinkled:(

Tian&Xin enjoyed swimming alot. Though they don't know how to swim, but we did let them try in the deep pool, practising kicking and without the float, to kick by holding on to our hands. They did it pretty well:) Shall enroll Tian in some proper swimming lesson soon. Zhenyu disliked letting children to simply just play water at the baby pool. He said waste time, might as well stay at home, play water in the toilet. LOL.... I told him, come on.... let children have fun. He just shook his head.

LiL Zachary enjoyed as much too! I encouraged sis to let him go into the deep pool, with float, and let him have a feel of kicking in deep water. I told sis, no need to buy thermal wear too. Got to let them feel the normal temperature of swimming pool. She agreed, and hopefully zac zac can join tian&xin more frequently:)

I bathed Zachary after the swim, and changed him up. He is a brave boy, and doesn't fussed much during the shower. (even with a new shower head instead of sitting inside the bathtub). Though he seemed afraid initially. But i told sis, it's OK, he must get used to it. After swimming, it's a must to bath. The water in the pool consisted of rain water, chlorine, urine, all kinds of dirty bacteria. Adults who don't bath after swimming will get severed headaches, fever and flu. Let alone toddlers like them. All these get into their head and caused them to get sick very easily.

Some things are call over protection, some things are call precaution. Some people treat it as it's OK,  never mind, some will think it as negligence. So i always like to hear sharing from people, incase i might overlook some important factors.

After the swim, we went to IMM for lunch. Then shopped around... XIn dozed off, and for as long as 2 hours. Tian was still very active, went Popular with daddy, read and see books. Zac was very very tired... started to be grouchy. We went Mac for fries and nuggets, while sis went to 'dot out' her black moles. hahaha..... Left IMM at 430. Yawn... everyone was so tired. By then xin was happily awake from her nap, and Tian was going to KO.

We had a gd rest at home.. Wanted to dabao for dinner, but my mum insist to cook. She preferred the kids to eat homemade food. We were more than happy of course! Had bee hoon soup, and both of them ate two big bowls=) Amazing appetite like their father. Hee....

A very delightful day!! Hope to have more outings with my nephew again!
