Surviving

M has been with us for a week already. She's definitely not a rare gem but I find her a lot more obedient than J. Although she's not as proactive as J, but I like the fact that she's more sincere and doesnt insist on doing things her way.

Maybe I have learnt cos Daddy Lim says that I am much harsher with M than J. I also realised that it all voiced down to expectations. I reminded myself that M is new and needs training. Thus, I didnt expect her to initiate but told her to move her butt to do X when she doesnt. With J, I closed my eyes most of the times and sometimes get irritated at the things that she did/ didnt do. With M, I make sure that I tell her if I didnt like the way certain things turned out.

In my opinion, so far so good. Lots of training to be done and I hope that M doesnt show patterns soon and would stay on with us for a long time. Changing maid is so tiring. But it is true that she's always so tired by the end of the day. J will still be jumping with energy. There are so many occasions that we found light still on in the baby room at 10+pm when we had J. Daddy Lim sometimes find her sitting in the dark. We used to wonder what J is doing in teh dark, missing family?

For M, most days, she turned in at 9 to 9+pm, even before Lil Shauna hits the pillow. M switches off her light and hit the pillow when we bring the princess into the room. We are worried that she cannot handle and quit on us when Lil Isaac comes along. -.o" It will be much tougher than and she will not be able to turn in so early + sleep peacefully through the night.

And of course, ah mah had loads to complain, from the very 1st maid until this one. She expected each maid to perform miracles but they all couldnt and communication is a big barrier, which make things worse. She will use her very chim ang mo to talk to M, who is totally clueless about what ah mah is saying and thus cannot deliver, resulting in ah mah calling me to nag about M. This I totally hate, especially when I am at work. Haiz. Mum complained about how M is so much slower than J, how she cannot take initiatives and appeared lazy at times. -_____-" I told mum that she cannot expect M to react the same way as J, she has no training at all, no work experience at all and could even be a tai tai in PHL! So, just tell her or dun expect her to know what to do next! Aiyo. But ah mah being demanding works good for me. Whenever something dun go right, I would tell M that ah mah dun like, ah mah wants it this way, ah mah says... Ah mah name is so good to use. Hohoho.

Lil Shauna doesnt reject M, but she asked about J the 1st few days that M arrived. I hope things will get better.

Taking the 2nd Place

Daddy Lim is such a poor thing, especially now. He had to share my attention with Lil Shauna since the day that she arrives and the princess is getting more and more demanding, not only in terms of my attention but also of physical possession. As e princess grows and inherits my terrible "shui xiang", the bed gets more n more crowded such that we have to buy a new mattress to make bed space n also to prevent Lil Shauna from flipping from the bed to the floor. Daddy Lim and I had been taking turns to sleep on the mattress. Afterall, nothing beats the comfort of our big bed.

However, during the recent night shift, I had been tucking Lil Shauna to bed and she's used to jumping on the bed, singing and monkeying before finally flipping all over the bed for a favourite spot before finally dozing off. Daddy Lim will always take the mattress for his 30 mins snooze before waking up to send me to work after he return from his night shift in the morning. And on rare occasions where Lil Shauna wakes up when Daddy Lim is snoozing, she will find him on the floor. The result? Daddy Lim has been permanently banished to the floor. The princess has openly taken over his position on the bed! Now, when Lil Shauna is ready for bed and Daddy Lim lies on the bed, she will whine n kick Pappy and demand that there is "no space", even when there is. When asked where Pappy sleeps then, she will point off the bed n confidently declares "there". Poor Daddy Lim will then give in to her princess and go to the pathetic mattress. Many times, she even openly declared tat she doesn't want Pappy to sleep on HER bed. -.o"

A 2nd incident to show how neglected (by me) Daddy Lim has been. He has been bugging me to mend his socks and I had promised him but putting him off until yday. Well, we can always buy new socks but he told me tat the socks are wearable just tat they needed some mendings. I didn't noe how pathetic he had been until I saw the amount of socks I have to mend. Each one comes with holes, big or small and he ran out of no hole socks to wear. Yday. he totally ran out and had to savage a pair that he had already thrown into the rubbish bin. Sob, so poor thing. Daddy Lim was so glad when I mended some of his socks last night.

I wonder wat will happen to him when Lil Isaac comes along. Haiz. I think we better work hard on the couple time tat we wanted. Hmmm, when was the last time we went to the movie? Or a last quiet slow dinner without the baby? Haiz.. Bb, I love you dip dip. Muakz.

Growing Baby

We seldom use the computer in front of Lil Shauna. That is bcos she too will want to use the keyboard. And there is no way that you can use the computer when you have a toddler messing around with the keyboard.

A few days ago, Daddy Lim was at the computer and Lil Shauna wanted to imitate Pappy too. So Daddy Lim opened her pix folder and showed Lil Shauna her baby photos. The 1st time, Lil Shauna couldnt relate that the baby is her. I mean, she does look very different.

Only after we told her that the baby is her did she then relate. She will then acknowledge that the baby is "baobao" even when the baby in the pix looks totally unlike her.

Yday, I was trying to kill time while waiting for Daddy Lim to fetch us to go nainai's house. So, I switched on the computer and went through the pix and video with her. And I realised that Lil Shauna has grown so much. A while ago, she was still a helpless baby.

We watched her grow, learning to take her 1st step, speak her 1st word, feed herself and many more. And now, she's such a cheeky girl, full of fun and laughter.

Suddenly, I wonder how did we survive the initial months where she cannot speak or express her emotions and wants. It must have been tough and I am glad that humans are such forgetful creatures, such that we will be willing to try for no. 2. Hohoho. As for Daddy Lim, he is conned by me. Muahahahaha.

We will be reminded of how difficult it was when Lil Isaac comes along. In the meantime, we will enjoy our princess. She's pretty fluent in her speech now. She can describe something that has happened or something that she sees. She can even holds a proper conversation with us now. Although the conversations are usually senseless, it is interesting to see how she strong her words together. :) We love her so much.

The New Maid

She's Michelle, taller than J and much darker and prettier. She came with the same shoulder length hair. We had requested for her to crop off her waist length hair before coming to Singapore. She is only 26 YO, married with a 3-YO son. Her husband is working as a Security and brings home instable income. She's here to earn $$ to support her family, just like many other foreign workers. A lady of few words, which is so differnt from J, something that we will probably appreciate. But she has never work as a domestic maid previously and in fact never worked before after her graduation from college. Unlike J, who was a transfer maid and had worked 4 weeks in Singapore before coming to us. J noes alot of housework, requires minial prompting, took a lot of initiatives and keeps teh house clean without much monitoring.

I noe there is probably no such thing as a perfect maid. I had prayed for the impossible and it didnt come true. But what I really asked for is somebody who will really take care of Lil Shauna and loved her like we did. I cant tell yet.

We told her the ground rules. We wanted to set things right but expected her not to remember that much. We told her the routine and we can only keep our fingers crossed that thinsg will turn out fine. We wanted to look strict and fierce but that wasnt in us. ;p

We started seeing things and knew that it will take time to make things work.

1. We brought M for dinner after collecting her. She wanted noodles and we got her wanton mee. We even give her Chrysatimum tea. She barely finished half the noodles and didnt at all touch the wantons. Her drink was 3/4 full. We asked her and she said that she dun want the food anymore and she didnt like the taste of the drink. -.o" I think my mum will jump at the amount of food that she wasted. And she eats painfully slow. Faint.

2. With her in the car, we picked up LiL Shauna and she was lost upon seeing her. No instant or natural connection. we had to tell her wat to do. Well, I expect that is normal and I could still take that.

3. M wanted to call home to tell her hb that she has arrived safely. I tot it was reasonable and allowed her to call. I told her 15 mins and that she should hang when time's up. She was still at it beyond the 15 mins and I realised that she is not as seld-restraining as I tot she would be. I had to interupt and ask her to hang cos I wanted to teach her to make milk.

4. She came with a huge luggage but not exactly alot of stuff. I brought her through the house, name a few routines and told her to unpack and go to bed. We were all tired. She woke up bring and early on Sat morning but DID NOT do anything at all. My fault, I didnt give specific instructions on what to do before Lil Shauna wakes up. J took a lot of initaive and was always wiping and cleaning when we left for work and I had assumed that M would too. Haiz..

5. M needs alot of prompting and instruction. I supposed it voice down to the fact that she has never work before. Of course everybody wants an easy way out. She would rather carry the bag or push the stroller than to chase or entertain the baby. I made it a point to tell her what to do. She's not too bad when she's told to entertain Lil Shauna. Lil Shauna doesnt rejects her.

6. M is not as good with housework and I am pampered by J. Our home had never been very, very clean. But J did a good work and we had always told her that. So when M come, I had half expected the same standard. But M is not as good. She leaves things lying around. -.o" She didnt foresee the need to boil water, to change Lil Shauna's water in the bottle, etc. I see a long training path and lots of reminder. Last night, I told her the requirement - our house is this clean when she comes. It can only gets cleaner, not dirtier.

7. To make sure M has things to do before Lil Shauna wakes up this morning, I instructed her last night. Wipe the table, sweep and mop the floor. I expected her working on the tasks when I woke up this morning at 7.15am. When I got out of teh room, I saw her still sleeping. -__________-" I woke her up and she started on the tasks. Aiyo.

8. I got out of the room to check on her. The house is not too dirty to begin with. She was mopping the floor and the mopped floor was really wet, not acceptable. Ah mah or Lil Shauna will fall down. I told her and have to see if she improves tomorrow. I dun think she clean the baby's room, bcos I never say. Haiz..

I have to leave Lil Shauna alone with her before school on Tuesday and I am worried again. If this is the standard, I duno if she can handles Lil Shauna alone. I also have to manage ah mah's expectation. Ah mah cannot expect M to noe and take iniative. I wonder how are they gg to communicate.

Leave it to God lah. This is too much for me to bear.

Updated @ 26 July 10
M still has a long way to go. I am trying my best to remind her whenever that I can and I do fear for tomorrow when I go back to work. Bcos I am around today, Lil Shauna sticks to me and refused to let auntie helps her. -.o" I am trying my best to let M takes care of Lil Shauna to get some hands-on.

The latest wrong - she made a cold milk for Lil Shauna. -.o" I kept reminding her 80ml cool water, 40ml hot water, but the actual composition will be dependent on the water temperature. But teh milk ended up cold. Haiz... But subsequent milks were Ok. i think I need lots of faith.

An Emo Day

I had been plagued with so much negative tots and bitterness recently. It was bad and it is affecting me badly. I worried about everything that is to come, sending J away, the new maid, putting Lil Shauna alone with the new maid, the arrangement when Lil Isaac comes along. There seems to be no perfect solution. I know that things will work out eventually, but how and what? On Friday morning, I decided to give all to God and rely on faith. But I guessed my faith was smaller than the mustard seed and died away shortly.

My mum got to know that I will be sending J to the agency without Daddy Lim's help on Sat morning. Daddy Lim will be at work. She was worried that J would turn violent and hurt the pregnant woman and started nagging and nagging and insisted that we send J away on Friday night instead, so that Daddy Lim can escort. I had to call the agency and they managed to arrange for me to collect the new maid and send J back on Friday evening. Praise the Lord. I was encouraged and saw God at work but my humanistic emotions took over soon after.

I saw something that my mum did and all the negative emotions came back. My blood boiled and I lost control. I called her and there were negative exchanges and we quarreled, not once but twice over the phone. I blamed her for her favoritism and she insisted that I sandwiched her and cos her to be miserable. We slammed each other's phone and of course there was no closure like before. I was badly affected.

Life goes on, work continues and we rushed off at 6.30pm to pack for J. We didnt want her to pack herself, bcos we wanted to avoid whatever possible confrontations and there was no time. We threw her belongings into her luggage, put them in the boot and picked her at Centris. We called my mum to ask her to meet us at the lobby.

The plan was to tell J only when we are nearing the agency. Afterall, she doesnt noe the way there. But I duno what my mum told her, probably about helping us take something? Cos she opened the boot immediately when she saw our car and saw her luggage. -__________-" Plan failed. We had to tell her that we are sending her back when she boarded the car.

She didnt turn violent or struggle like my mum feared. She asked why and I told her that I had lost my trust in her and this relationship cannot continue. She did cry and the trip to the agency seems exceptionally long. Silently, I curse at every red light and car that blocks our way. And my heart stops whenever the car stops. I half-expected her to open the door and escape. There were awkward silences after we broke the news to her. I had to ask Daddy Lim to talk to me in Mandarin so that there will be sound. I couldnt bear the silence.

We helped her with the bags upon arrival and we came out of the wrong car park exit and had to walk a distant to the agency. I was half worried that J would escape again but she was cooperative. She checked her luggage in a small room at the agency and we saw the new maid. At that point, I wanted so much for the whole thing to end. This emo trauma was too much to bear. It was so upsetting to see J in the room checking the stuff. I wonder if we should have given her another chance. Haiz.. Too late, choices made and we have to move on.

We finally brought the new maid away and ended the emo day. I am amazed at the amount of emotions that I can take in one day.

Updates @ 26th/ 27th week

We saw Lil Isaac this evening. :) It had been 3 weeks since we last seen him and we are excited to see him again. God has been gracious and my BP remains good at 116/60. This is so much better as compared to when I had Lil Shauna. Lil Isaac is about 1kg, his weight had doubled since 3 weeks ago. He is probably still a little on the low side but Lil Shauna was only 800+g when she was this old. Thank God. Dr Kee mentioned that Lil Isaac is growing properly, that he has a strong heartbeat, is active and has lots of water to swim in. Great! So, the next visit will be 3 weeks later in TMC. By then, he should be about 1.4 to 1.6kg.

I am getting anxious as the big day draws near. Yes, I am a 2nd time mummy but the 1st time happened too quickly for me to react. Labour was done in 6 hours. I heard that the 2nd child always come faster than the 1st and I hope I will have time to rush to the hospital. Hohooho. If God allows, I am opting for natural birth with epidural this time. I really have no idea what to expect. For Lil Shauna, I was already lying in the hospital bed when I felt my 1st contraction and when the water bag burst. I often wondered how embarrassed it will be if my water bag is to burst while I am outside, like when I am waiting for the MRT? -.o" I better start praying for contractions to happen at the right timing.

We have just decided that I will deliver at TMC. The last time, I had wanted to opt for TMC too but I ended up in NUH. Dr Kee delivers in both TMC and Mount A, both hospitals are just as far from our place, but at least Daddy Lim is familiar with the route to TMC and there is shopping center nearby if there's really a need to kill time. Similarly, if complications are to take place, I will check myself into NUH. If Lil Isaac is of a good weight and no birth complications, I hope to check myself into a 3D2N luxurious stay in TMC. At least I have something to look forward to after my last road trip to Malacca. ;p Daddy Lim is willing to foot the bill. He said that this is likely be the last time that I am preggy. Hehe.

As the pregnancy progresses, I also am going through an emotional roller coaster. I was upset over the maid's issue recently and also the childcare arrangement when the new maid comes. In a few days' time after the new maid's arrival, I may need to leave Lil Shauna alone with the maid and I am worried. Then, I am also frustrated about the arrangement when Lil Isaac comes along. There are simply too many unknowns now and I get unsettled. Just this evening, I actually felt sad that I have to send J away. Sad not bcos I cannot bear to let her go but more so that she will be upset at my decision. And as I was having dinner, I felt an unexplainable sadness. Haiz.. Lil Zu-Le aka Isaac is supposed to mean Joy and Laughter and here am I working towards a depression. -______-" I must be positive, I must be happy. I better go and hand my problems to God now.

Why Mummies Grow Fat

It is always so easy to gain weight and so hard to lose weight when you are a mummy, even when you are running after toddler(s). I had aspired to be a yummy mummy way before I conceive Lil Shauna and I am still nowhere near. Why? Many, many reasons.
I am suffering from insufficient sleep and I have to munch on food to stay awake whilst in the office.
Lil Shauna cannot decide/ tell me what she wants to eat when I asked her, so I decide on her behalf and she refused to eat what I bought subsequently and asked for something else. I had to buy what she wanted to make sure she’s well fed and I finished what she couldn’t.
Lil Shauna asked for ice cream bcos the jiejies are eating ice cream, but she had 2 mouthfuls and decided that she had enuff. So, the rest of the 7/8 goes to mummy.
Worse still, she wanted some other stuff after eating the 1/8 ice cream and the cycle repeats itself.
To make sure that Lil Shauna doesn’t overstuff herself with tidbits and crackers, noble mummy attempt to finish most of it in a scary speed.
To make sure that Lil Shauna has a good variety of delicious biscuits to bring to school for snack time, I overstocked and attempt to “clear” stock to prevent wastage.
Her delicious biscuits are calling out to me and I cannot resist.

When Lil Shauna is taking her nap outside of the house on weekend afternoons, I sneak break filled with fries and nuggets and sinful cakes, so as to energise myself in preparation of the bouncy baby.
To spend time with Daddy Lim, we attempted supper after Lil Shauna turns in. You can imagine how late and how fattening that is.
I have “no time” to exercise before I had Lil Shauna, so you can imagine how much time I am left with to exercise after she comes along.
No wonder I cannot lose weight lah. The temptations tripled now that I am preggy. It is so easy to tell myself that I can indulge in the extra food bcos I am pregnant now, that I have the rights to eat and I can always lose weight after I deliver. Lies! Sob, I think I will be up one size again after Lil Isaac arrives. -__________-"

Gathering

The SHSS girls met up again last Sun. This time, we invited Ms Teo to celebrate her bday. The last time we (Lil Shauna included) saw her was during CNY, although that was just a few months ago, Lil Shauna must have grown alot cos Ms Teo kept commenting that she looked so different.

I have to be reminded 2x about how shy Lil Shauna is on Sun. We went to church in the morning and Lil Shauna went to the jolly room as usual while I attended the service. Lil Shauna doesnt like church. -.o" On Sun mornings, she would often tell me that "I dun want go church, I want to go kai kai". If I stayed with her in the jolly room, she would cling on to me. She would behave better without me but not very participative. When I picked her at the end o the service, I would see her roaming around the jolly room but she wouldnt talk. In rare occasions, she would wave goodbye and hug some favourite helper aunties. One of the helpers had to tell me how shy and quiet Lil Shauna is when I picked her up. Haiz, I noe. I think she is just overwhelmed by the number of adults in the room. She often react better when there are more kids. She is shy and I duno how to help her overcome her shyness.

We had lunch and took a cab to Mummy L's place in faraway land Pungol as Daddy Lim was still stuck at work. Lil Shauna took her nap in the cab but woke up shortly upon arriving at Mummy L's place. It was barely 30 mins and I wasnt able to coax her back to sleep. It must be the new environment and the "new" faces that kept her awake, even though she had seen the "aunties" just a month back.

I was so proud when Ms Teo kept commenting that Lil Shauna is a pretty baby, that she has nice eyes and stuff. Hohoho. But when Ms Teo asked who does Lil Shauna take after, she refused to believe when I say that it is me lor. Ms Teo kept wanting to give credits to Daddy Lim too. She must be too kind to Daddy Lim liao. Hohoho. The truth is that Lil Shauna is so pretty bcos she takes after me and she is so pretty bcos I am pretty. Lol.. ;p

The rest of the girls joined subsequently and there were J gorgor, AN jiejie, Lil Shauna and G baby. AN jiejie was much more active being a healthy baby this time and she brought this pink bag loaded with toys. I tot it was such a good idea and we bought a Barney bag for Lil Shauna too.

AN jiejie spent her time chasing after J gorgor and G baby attempted to chase the both of them in her maximum speed on 2 legs. It was so cute. Lil Shauna prefers to play toys with J in a corner or to sit quietly on the sofa to watch TV. I think she must be shy. Haiz, reminded 2nd time. She does play with Fione and Felicia at home, in fact, Fione is like her bestie. Regardless, I was glad that she's entertained and doesnt stick to me. It is like Mummy P's dream comes through, the kids were well entertained and the adults catch up and eat. Wahahahaha..

Suki was traumatise again. Lil Shauna loves Suki, but we had to ask Mummy L for permission before we disturb Suki. Lil Shauna was again excited in "sayanging" Suki in her own way. But to prolong Suki's lifespan, we kept the session short. Lil Shauna was back to her toys and TV shortly. Bcos I was too happy eating and catching up, I ended up with no pix. Oops.

We left at about 5pm and headed to nai nai 's house. I am so glad that I am planning for the next gathering cos it will be at OUR place. Hohoho. No more travelling to the faraway land. But the kind Mummy L has to remind me that most of the girls are staying or will be shifting to Sengkang and Pungol (read: sheer torture) and most gatherings will be taking place in the faraway land in the future. Great, I can see the taxi uncle laughing and $$ sign flashing in their eyes. To minimise such traveling, I have decided to volunteer to plan at least 5 gatherings next year. Hohoho.

The Little Things

I think it must be bcos I have decided on sending J away, thus I start to notice all the little things that she does, which does not go well with me and it irks me no end. Maybe this way, it soothes my conscious more wrt my decision to send her back? I am actually hoping that the new maid will come soon. I haven decide how I should break the news to J on her last day. I am expecting her to cry. My mum is worried that she will turn violent. -______-"

So, how have she done over the past week to drive me crazy?

1. We hitch rides on my bro's car frequently. She opened the car door, got out of the car and left it open. My bro sarcastically asked me if they have a maid who will help my maid closes the car door. She already got scolding from my mum for doing so and did it again with our car last night. -.o"

2. She watched TV whenever she gets the chance and I saw her watching TV now in the dark on my internet camera. I think Lil Shauna is still sleeping.

3. She still talks too much. I told her to watch herself in front of ah mah. On Sat, Lil Shauna went to class with Daddy Lim and Felicia was sleeping. Fione wanted her attention but J ignored Fione and went to talk with fellow maids right in front of ah mah, my SIL and me. Haiz. Yes, Fione is not her direct charge but I told her before that she should help.

4. She must take afternoon shower and is at it forever. She showers 3x a day, even Daddy Lim doesnt do that and she can be in the bathroom for a long time. I have no idea what she does inside that requires such a long time. Yday morning, we were all ready for church and J wanted to go to the toilet. After that, she asked for shower!!!!! Why???? She didnt do much housework like she usually does and she's not sweating badly. Anyway, she asked and so I allowed and told her to be quick bcos we are running late. She took at least 10 mins and I had to rushed her in between and she came out of the toilet with a shampooed head. In which aspect does that look like a quick shower?

5. She closes her door the moment we bring Lil Shauna into the room. I think J has more privacy than us. -___-" Sometimes, I see her light still on at 10+pm after Lil Shauna is tucked in and I duno what she does inside. Haiz..

6. She sometimes chose to look after Felicia than Lil Shauna cos Felicia is much easier when she's in her good mood. When we are out on Sat, she seems to be more like my bro's maid than ours. Haiz.

Yes, no maid is perfect. It is about how much the employer can tolerate. I think I have been closing one eye for all the time that she is here and I cannot help but notice now. I have to admit that I have spoilt J. I have not laid down enuff ground rules. I was the one who allowed her to turn in early bcos Lil Shauna sticks to us in the nights. I didnt stop her when she started striking conversation with others. Yes, my fault.

I think I have to be more strict with the new maid, telling her that she has no chance when it comes to bringing Lil Shauna out, that we dun like her talking to other people, that she is only to take one shower a day (unless necessary), that she cannot closes her room door even during sleep time (afterall Isaac will sleep with the maid next time). I think I better start thinking hard about what else. And I am gg to call the agency to find out when my new maid is coming.

Updates on 20 Jul 10:
J made my blood boil again last night.

On our way back from Malaysia last weekend, I dismantled the portable DVD player car holder so that I can remove the player from the holder. Lil Shauna had wanted to watch Barney on my lap and not in her car seat. I passed the holder and the knob to J and asked her to hold them for me. I have told her once in the past that the holder and knob are important. I saw her kept them in the front pocket of the bag but the holder was way too bulky for the pocket.

I didnt noe what happen to the holder and the knob until I found the holder in the car last night but not the knob and I sensed trouble. I went home and asked J. She totally forgot about it and claimed that it was in the car but cannot tell me where and then maybe in the bag and it wasnt (I serached the bag before I asked her). Expected, but my blood still boils.

This is not the 1st time liao. She's basically a very neat person and will attempt to keep everything that she sees lying around in the house. These things will normally go into one of the drawers or the storeroom. She even attempted to keep Daddy Lim's brand new bicycle into the storeroom! BUT, the thing is that she's forgetful. She will keep and she will forget. And when we asked her about it, she cannot remember and we cannot find it. It is super irritating when that happens. If she keeps it and cannot remember then who can find it????!!!! My blood still boils now.

The agency told me that the new maid should come in tomorrow. She's on the waiting list for air ticket. We should be able to get her on coming Sat and I am seriously counting down. I didnt even want to talk much to J now. It must be the hormones.

Facebook

I have often heard a colleague of mine complaining about how the rest of us are so inactive on facebook n I have friends who are so active n seem constantly on facebook. I have to admit, I am too lazy to do anything about my facebook account. It was created a long time ago bcos Daddy Lim was crazy about the facebook games then. He had helped me to create an account as well so that he can complete against me n gain points/ levels. Hohoho. I only have 3 pix in my profile and they were updated donkey years ago. It is basically very neglected.

Over time, I received emails constantly to accept friends' request or that I m being tagged. I have totally no idea what the latter means n I simply ignored both.

Lil Shauna was sleeping just now n Daddy Lim was out for a ride. Feeling bored, I have decided to visit my facebook account n am amazed at how powerful it is. I mean I have heard n read about it but am finally seeing it myself lah. It took me some time to get a hang of e navigations but soon I was looking at other friends' friends' profile n comments and lost in tine. Looking for people whom you have lost contact is so simple now, one can even find their kindergarten friends lor. This somebody must have know this other somebody who is somehow related to this other somebody who is related to you. Woohoo, crazy, no wonder people always say tat the world is so small.

I was glad to know that abc is now married n def has a baby girl n hij is an operations manager, but I remain just as lazy. I accepted none of the 57 pending friends' request. I didn't noe tat I have tat many friends, I feel so popular now. Lol.

Now I noe why so many people are addicted to facebook. Maybe I will get active at it one day, maybe. As for now, I shall spend my time chasing after Lil Shauna n blogging. Hehehe.
