New House

After discuss with papa2jojo, we decided to move in to our new house on 1 July this year, which is about 3 1/2 months from now. I choose this date b'cos it's our wedding anniversary. Normally, new couple will move in their house after they get married but mine one is few years later.

Went to order TV cabinet and dining table from Lorenzo yesterday. After several survey on different furniture shops we decided to buy it from Lorenzo since they are having promotion, and the price is really attractive, it's quality finishing goods that I think value for money we paid. To our surprise, the sales person even inform us that the goods in cover by insurance for 1 year. (including theft)

Overall, the house is almost half ready, so I think we will have more than enough time.

KISS

My little Jo2 has finally learnt to kiss mummy. What he will do is just his lips touch my face (with lots of saliva, guaranteed) at the same time give mummy a hug. So, when papa2jojo saw this scene, he request the same thing from Jo2, but he ran away. Poor daddy, he tried several times, but failed to get any kisses from his son. He has to turn to Jo1 for... ...

I found out that Jo2 only kiss 2 person - that's his mummy and baby Vernon (my sis#3 newborn baby)

Jo2's monthly hair cut

As usual, I was supposed to bring Jo2 to his regular Indian barber shop for his monthly hair cut. As I reached there, the shop is closed. So, I decided to bring him to another shop b'coz I think "It will be the same...."

I bet I was wrong......My little Jo2 is now "Botak chai." (little bold head) that's what we call him. His curly hair are all gone. The new barber cut his hair until soooo short that I also cannot take it. When I reached home, only my father like his new hair style (very typical china boy look), all my nephew and nieces complain to me "Why u cut his hair sooooo short...." I also don't know how to answer them, b'coz it's not what I wanted too.....

Anyway, I keep telling myself that the hair will grow....

Formal school registration for Jo1

It's time of the year when Dept of Education has announced that children born in year 2000-2001 can go and register which school they want to study. Jo1 will in standard 1 in year 2008, but I have to decide which school now. As a mummy who sometimes "Kiasu" one I already get advice from my cousin who is a teacher, Jo1's school principal and a friend of mine.

Cousin's advice: Han Ming is the best Chinese school in Penang now. But too far away from my house. So, it's out
Penang Chinese Girl School which is the most famous one, but traffic problem due to most parents tend to drive their kids to school instead of school bus.
Shang Wu has started their morning school from Standard 1 - 6 last year. Will be a great idea if I want Jo1 to be in morning school, 4 classes for each grade.

Principal's advice: Whether the school is famous or not is not important. Convenient wise, don't send yr kids to school too far away and have to wake up very early and come home late. The study habit of the kids, parents, teacher play the most important role. According to her, if u go to a famous school and the kid not willing to study also wasted.

Friend's advice: Her daughter is in Convent. According to her, this is a very strict school, the security is good. With good headmaster, and teachers. They teach S'pore English and with homework. The only thing I don't like is this school is 100% female, no boys allowed. So, which mean if Jo2 cannot go to the same school as Jo1.

So, I am still undecide which school is the best....

Jo2's new word

Everyday, I enjoyed going home and see my little boy running towards me when I opened the door like welcome me. What he does is he will say "Paopao" (carry me) and open his arms wide wide and I have to carry him even though I know I should wash my hand first esp I just came back from outside. I am the one who set the rule saying that those who came back from outside MUST wash hand b4 can carry my boy boy, but now I am the one who spoilt it...HELP!!!

Chap Goh Meh (The 15th day of CNY)

This year Chap Goh Meh falls on Sunday, which is also the next day of Thaipusam. Since papa2jojo is on morning shift so we can go out together at night. We went to swiming club and I let Jo2 to swim in the pool for the first time. We cannot use the baby pool b'coz it's the pump is out of order and the water is dirty. Jo2 enjoyed it very much even though the water is cold. He was in the pool for less than 2 minutes and I can see that he really have fun. Jo1 had to swim in the big pool too, so it's a good chance to let her swim without her float.

Later, we had dinner there while waiting for the lion dance performance. Jo2 is not afraid of lion dance at all, so he walked very close-up to watch the performance, esp when the lion dancers walked passed the restaurant and heading towards the beach.

HAPPY CHINESE NEW YEAR

Wishing u all a very Happy Chinese New Year!!!
See u all in the year of "wong wong" (DOG) and many many years to come.

Jo2 is ready for school....!!!???

Even though Jo2 is only 15 months now, but seeing his "cheh cheh" go to school he also wants to go. What he will do is after Jo1 came back from school he will take his small bag pack and take Jo1's water tumbler. Then, he will point to his shoes asking me to wear it for him, and he think he is all set and ready for school.

Welcome baby Vernon

My sis#3 just gave birth to baby Vernon this morning at 10:18am weight at 2.7kg. My BIL #3 can't make it to be with her in the labor room. Anyway, hopefully he manage to catch a plane and arrived in Penang on Monday. I can see that my sis is upset a bit when I saw her last nite. Too bad that she has to gone through the contraction period on her own....
I think all women wish that their husband accompany them during this moment.

Anyway, baby Jo2 is upgrade to small "kor kor" alredi since we have new baby member.

Congratulations!!! Sis & BIL #3...
