Lol

We were in the queue to pay for some stickers that Lil Shauna wanted. Then, Lil Shauna asked me, right in front of a fat and maybe pregnant lady.

"Mummy, why some Mummy's tummy very fat one?"

I don't know if the lady heard her. I didn't dare lift my head to find out and tell her that there is probably a baby inside.

We were the next to pay and i teased her. "Oh no, mummy got no more $$". She looked worried for a moment, then asked, "You got coins?"

Lol.

Graduation Ceremony

It was a grand affair. There are many more students in the kindergarten this year and the worship hall was filled. I bet that was also bcos many families were like us, the entire family (nainai, popo, pappy, myself, auntie and Lil Isaac) went just to watch one kid performed. Lil Shauna only has one item to perform. But I think it meant the world to her to have the entire family down just to watch her on the stage.

The theme this year is God’s creation. The ceremony started with the K2 (graduating) students’ walk-in and then to receive their scroll from the GOH. Yes, it was a super grand affair. Many of the song and dance items were by the K2 classes. Lil Shauna’s class performed the “If I were a butterfly…” song. The kids were dressed up as the different creatures in the song and Lil Shauna was a butterfly with 2 other classmates, who have the most stage time bcos butterflies appeared at the start of the song. Lil Shauna said that she chose to be a butterfly when her teacher asked her what did she want to dress up as, that is so typical of Lil Shauna.

Lil Shauna was a very bouncy butterfly. She appeared to be very excited, chatting happily with the other 2 butterflies while waiting for the cue to start, giggling and waving excitedly when she saw us. When the song started, we saw her skipping onto the stage and she was jumping up and down for most part of the song. Very cute. Lol. Lil Shauna also joined the finale to perform another 2 action songs and the event closed.

The event ended at 9ish. Lil Isaac was grumpy towards the end as it was nearing his bedtime. We headed for home immediately after Lil Shauna was released and the kids crashed into bed shortly after. It was indeed a tiring affair. Hehe.

I actually preferred last year’s concert. This year, the costumes are definitely much vibrant and more detailed and customize. However, there aren’t many actions from the kids. They seem to be doing more of a parading of costumes. The dance steps aren’t as nice as last year’s too. However, I guessed what matter most is for the kids to enjoy performing on stage. Next year, Lil Isaac will join jiejie on stage and I am secretly excited at the thought. The pre-nursery kids are always the cutest. Daddy Lim and I both agreed that the K1 and older kids lose their cuteness. Muahahaha.

The butterfly costume was given to us and we are wondering what we should do to the costume. Maybe we should meet up with the girls for a Halloween party. Hohoho.

Need to Diet

We have fat genes. My kids are junkies. This is a deadly combination. Lil Shauna is getting fat. Boo!

I have always been chunky, even in my growing up years. In fact, I was so bulky in my teens. I cannot remember how it feels to be thin. I have so desired to be petite bcos guys always protect the petite girls, who look so ever fragile. The chunky girls always look so macho and are often left to fend for themselves. Not fair.

So, when I was younger, I promised myself that I will not overfeed my kids. I didn't want them to blame me for making them fat. However, things don't always go the way we desire, especially when I am not the main caregiver.

During weekends, I realised that my kids eat non-stop. Ok, I am exaggerating. But they really are eating every other hour. Then there is the tidbits and ice cream, cakes and chocolates on top of the main meals. How to stay slim?

Just that day, Lil Shauna looks fat in a pix with C. I was lamenting to Mummy P, who comforted me, saying that C would look fat too if she is beside AN. Errr... Lil Shauna better never stand beside AN for pix. Lol.

Today, Lil Shauna dons a butterfly costume for her school graduation performance. She looks beautiful but very much like a fleshy butterfly. Hohoho. I better start reminding her to stay off junks. I don't want her to hate me when she is older. Lol.

Birthday Celebration 2 and 3

We went to Nainai's house on Lil Isaac's bday. In the early afternoon, before Lil Shauna went for her phonics class, we went to the Kiddy Palace to get a present for him.

Jiejie originally declared that she will get him a xylophone, but quickly switched her mind to playdoh, then to a soft toy spongbox, to stitch, to doraemon before finally decide on another tiggar, which Lil Isaac really likes. Lol.

We had a nice dinner at North Point before Lil Isaac got to choose a bday present and jiejie proceeded to do her favourite sand art. Lil Isaac bought a bowling set.

We also bought a small cake and proceeded home for the bday song singing, candle blowing and cake cutting. Lil Isaac was happy.

On Monday evening, we collected another Mickey Mouse cake to have a final celebration for Lil Isaac. Kids just love this bday affair, don't they?

Mummy Lim

Celebration No. 1

We wanted to celebrate Lil Isaac's bday in school but his teacher didn't want the hassle of feeding cake to the kids and asked us to just give goody bags instead. We respected the teacher's wish. Poor boy.

We didnt hold any bday party for him. We are lazy parents. So, I asked Mummy H if she was free and if we could visit her yday , in hope of holding a mini celebration for the tiger. She graciously opened up her house and Mummy L, Mummy P and Ryn joined us with the kids.

It was a simple affair. We bought a Mickey Mouse cake and we blew candles and ate cake. The kids were very much self entertained the mummies and daddies were more than glad to be left to catch up, chit chat and whacked the tidbits. Lol. There were occasional squabbles but the next moment, they are the best of friends. Hehe.

The kids had so much fun. They both fell asleep on the way home. Hehehe.

Happy bday Lil Isaac!

Mummy Lim

Long Awaited!

Today, Lil Isaac turns 2! Happy bday precious tiger. And he started calling me "ma-me"! It wasnt very clear but at least he has started calling me. I have been waiting for this for so long. Muahaha.

His "pappy" is also getting clearer. Hohoho.

Great Time at USS

Other than the many hiccups, the trip to USS was very much enjoyable. We arrived at about 10.30am and hit the park. We saw Mr Frankistein at the entrance but nobody wanted to take pix with him. Lol.

Little Shauna was a little grumpy in the beginning and declared "so boring", but she quickly perked up after the first ride. There wasnt much queue and we didnt have to wait too long.

The rain started pouring after the ride and we were all clad in ponchos and raincoats. The kids enjoyed waddling in the rain. However, we had to take cover shortly bcos the rain was overwhelming and the ponchos and raincoats didn't offer us much protection. Luckily it was lunch time and we had a good lunch while waiting for the rain to stop. There was a throne in the restaurant and the kids were happy pretending to be kings and queens.

We were glad that the rain stopped soon after lunch and we could continue with our visit. The park suddenly came alive with visitors who all went into hiding and we joined the crowd to go from rides to rides.

Lil Shauna loves the roller coaster so much that we went on it 4x! She was still asking to go and I had to stop her. Lol. While Lil Shauna went on the the big kid rides like the transformer with either daddy or mummy, Lil Isaac would be happily walking and exploring with the other parent and T. Lil Isaac caught a number of rides too, though he doesn't seem to enjoy some of them. He even when to watch the Shrek 4D show but was scared silly at times. Muahahaha.. I is evil mummy.

Lil Isaac went without nap, his first in his lifetime. He couldn't take it at 4ish and fell asleep when I tried to tuck him in. But the park is probably too exciting and he woke up in 15mins when he heard the crowd. Lol. Luckily, he wasn't at all grumpy.

We were too busy to take photos. We didn't take any pix with the mascot bcos Lil Isaac is terrified of them, even his favorite Kungfu Panda. We didn't want to queue for photo taking too. Lil Shauna did happen to catch the Madagascar penguin and Shrek and Princess Fiona and Puss in Boots to say hi or bye. She had a chance to take a pix with Puss but she refused bcos she was almost "poked" by Puss' sword while Puss was moving into his position. Lol.

We had a good time and left the park at 5ish. By then, we had managed to take most of the rides and were really exhausted. The kids were tired too and didn't complain when we had to leave the park.

We had great companion and fun. I bet USS wouldn't be this fun if it is not bcos of the Ong family. Next in plan - legoland. Hehehe.

All went Wrong

Daddy Lim and I took leave to bring the kids to USS on Thursday with the Ong Family. It is to celebrate Lil Isaac turning 2. We didn’t have Popo or Auntie with us. Other than the fact that we had great fun at USS with the great companions, whatever that could go wrong went wrong.

The day before, something already pissed me off and I told Popo that I wanted the maid home while we are at USS so that she could clean up the house. Popo had wanted to bring her to Centris bcos she wanted somebody to supervise her. Popo insisted that the maid is very stubborn and will do all sort of things that she was told not to do like clean the window dangerously or burn down the house by not switching off the gas after cooking. Please, she is freaking 30 years old and she will be alone for less than a day! Bcos I was so pissed. Popo agreed for the maid to stay at home.

Popo has to screw up our plan by running off silently on Wednesday night to visit RWS. She was supposed to go with us on Thursday am. Anyway, we woke up bright and early on Thursday morning, all geared to visit USS. Popo came back before we left for USS and said that she will make her way to RWS again in the afternoon after some rest. She will also supervise the maid to do the assigned chores. I had wanted the maid to help clean some dust off the bedroom wall.

We left the house, intending to meet the Ong family for breakfast at RWS at 9.30am. While on AYE, Tiggy started trembling violently. The engine fault light lit up and the system asked us to go to the workshop NOW! We had to get off the expressway and arranged for a tow truck to bring Tiggy to the workshop. The only comfort was that we managed to drive to a nearby KFC before the car died on us and had breakfast while waiting for the tow truck. However, the kids turned restless shortly and were grumpy.

The tow truck came in under an hour and we flagged a cab to USS where the Ong family was waiting. We boarded this taxi where the taxi uncle was dressed up like a cowboy. He was wearing a cowboy hat while driving… strange. He probably thought that he is a dare devil driver cos he had gloves on and his left hand was constantly on the gear stick despite it being an auto car. He stepped on the accelerator and brake equally hard and I was so worried about the kids falling off the seat. It didn’t help that the kids were very energetic and wanted to climb all over the back seat. I left the taxi feeling sick from motion sickness. Arrgghhhh..

Then it rained really hard in the late morning. Even the poncho and raincoats that we brought didn’t protect us. Luckily it was lunch time and we escaped into a restaurant while waiting for the rain to ease. There weren’t major hiccups in USS though and we had a great time.

We left the park at 5ish and were all tired. We had dinner at RWS before going home in a taxi with Popo. While in the cab, I was told that Popo had bought the maid to Centris before she came to RWS. My blood started boiling. I really do not understand why it had to be the case bcos the maid would be home alone for even a shorter time if Popo had left for RWS in the late morning or early afternoon! I was tired, we didn’t have a car and then we had to make ways to fetch the maid home from Centris. The kids were falling asleep in the taxi and it was decided that we would bring the kids home first while Daddy Lim made his way to fetch the maid.

Lil Isaac fell asleep in the cab. I knew he needed a shower but I would probably let him sleep if I had the say. Sadly, Popo insisted that he should shower and woke him up crying. I was further irritated.

My blood boiled even more when I went home to find the wall still dirty. That was it and I snapped. Popo did not retaliated when I snapped. She probably knew that I was tired and already angry over the maid. Else, it would be another big meltdown.

I was so glad that the kids slept early on Thursday night. I was exhausted and barely coherent and fell asleep shortly after Lil Isaac did.

Mummy Lim

Not my Bday?

Lil isaac will be turning 2 in 2 days' time. Although there will be no major celebration, we had been talking about it a fair bit. Each time that we did, Lil Shauna would be asking when will her bday be here. She will then ask whose bday will be after Lil Isaac's bday and the next one and the next one until when I finally mentioned her name. Then, she will lament that it is still very far away.

We bought some Play Mobile figurines to be put into the goody bags. Daddy Lim is like a big boy himself and bought one too. He fixed it just now and after fixing it, he declared that it is Lil Isaac's bday present and that he would give it to Lil Isaac. Lil Shauna's mood immediately changed.

Daddy Lim had to hug his little princess and comfort her and assured that he would get her a present too tomorrow. His promise didn't help to lift her mood much until he made mummy take one of the figurines that should go into the goofy bags to give it to Lil Shauna. It was so funny. Hahahaha.

Serves him right for saying the wrong thing. Muahahaha.

Christmas is Here?

I needed to bring some cleaning tissues. And the shop was playing Christmas songs! Christmas is here already? Time is flying by.
