Emil Chau's concert

Wa-Kin Chau is mommy's all time favorite Chinese singer. I love all his songs, I can listen to his songs continuously for hours and never get bored. His song touched me....

Anyway, I really wish that I could go to his concert this coming 14 July, 2007 @ Bukit Jalil, papa2jojo actually offered to drive me down to KL and he will take care of the kids while I enjoy my concert (about 5 hours). Too bad, I decided not to go since I will be alone b'coz sis#2 & sis#3 can't make it this time. And it will be no fun to be there by myself only.

So, if u r Wa-kin's fans, go and grab the concert ticket b4 tickets sold out.

No, thanks.....

Here's the list of food that Jo2 doesn't eat.......he used to run away when asked to try, but recently he become so polite by replying "No, thanks!"

Mommy: Josh, u want to eat durian?
Jo2: No, thanks.

Mommy: Josh, u want to eat vege?
Jo2: No, thanks.

Jo2 is a picky eater, there are some food that he doesn't take, for example : ice-cream, chocolate which is most kid's favorite, and also there are foods that he can't take due to his sensetive skin.
As for fruits, he only take apple, banana, papaya & plums. And his favorite food is mee-mee, koay teow, macaroni, spaghetti, and recently SUSHI!!!

Other than food, I also asked him....
Mommy: Do u want to go to school?
Jo2: No, thanks.......(ME???? Almost "pengsan" since it's juz 4 days away from his first day to nursery)

Happy Father & Grandfather's day

We had dinner @ Trader's Hotel (formerly known as Shangri-la) last Sunday to celebrate Father's Day. Actually our first choice is to go to Miraku, a newly open Japanese Restaurant @ G Hotel (majority of us like Japanese food). Unfortunately the place is fully booked for lunch & dinner since we opt for a room. 2nd choice is Season Restaurant, also a newly open (1 month) along Jelutong Expressway. 3rd choice is of course this Trader's Hotel since my brother's good friend work there and informed that they actually hire "sifu" (special guest chefs) from China for a short period serving authentic Huaiyang specialties, and why not give it a try since it's a rare chance.

On the way there, my father asked Jo1, is today father's day or "gong-gong day?"

Jo1 said :"Today is Happy Father's Day, next week only we celebrate gong-gong day, ok." What a smart answer......so that she get to dine out again next week???

Since we have a big group that consists of 22 person, so they set up 2 tables for us, with a divider and nice lace curtain to have more privacy. I would say it's a cozy place, with good service and tasty food (very special & nice presentation), but the bill is a little surprise to us. Juz a short glace at the price list I saw a pot of "exclusive tea" cost RM32, a small bowl of dessert cost RM6. Anyway, good to see that the hotel's standard is maintained even though they changed the management.

The never ending "Terrible TWO"

Recently, I found that Jo1 & Jo2 are no longer under my control. Whether it's meal time or play time will end up with tears (fighting w/ each other). Spanking or yelling at kids are not my style. I believe that kids that are beaten up tends to be even "wild" so I always tried to control myself not to throw temper on kids. But no guarantee how long this will lasts since I am short of a helper(maid) now.........

The notty stuff of Jo2:

1. Bitting Jo1 for no reason, even though doc told me that it's a way Jo2 protect himself from being harm. But now it seems like Jo1 is the victim instead of him.
2. Being the echo of Jo1 and mommy. Whataever u say, he will repeat the last few words of the sentence that he is able to catch. Except when u say: Jo2 is a notty boy or something bad about him.
3. Everything belongs to me. My thing is my thing and your things are mine too. Very possesive boy. Nobody can take away toy that he is playing, but he will simply grabs away whatever Jo1 is playing and think that it's lot of fun......Once, he took away jiejie's book and said he wanted to read book, but holding the book up side down!!!
4. Lock the door. He likes to lock himself inside the room so that he can watch his so called "Mickey mouse club house" (cartoon channel) peacefully. By doing so, nobody can come in and switch to other channel. Jo1 told me that the magic word to open the door is "good manners, good manners." I can't figure out why, but it really works. Worst experience we had when he locked the main door while everyone was outside the house doing gardening, washing car, and Jo1 playing in the garden.
5. Pick who and who to bathe for him. Mommy is the first choice, followed by papa, then my mother's maid. If no choice, then only he allowed my mother to bathe for him. He will run away with his towel whenever my mother called him to bathe.
6. Simply throw anything from upstairs to downstairs. No matters how many times I asked him not to do so, or I have him go downstairs to pick up whatever he threw. 100% guaranteed that he never throw his own stuff.

Why I have this never ending "terrible 2".....b'cos Jo2 likes the no. 2. When asked him how old are u.....his answer is "2."

When asked how many jelly/sweet-sweet he wants......his answer is "2" only.

Afterall, he is Jo2-what!!!......he is a spoilt brat of me!!!

No matter how notty he is, a kiss from him will wiped away all the anger....

Where is papa?

Papa2joj has to leave home for office b4 8am so that he can reach office b4 9AM.. So, when lil Jo2 wakes up in the morning, the first Q he asked is :

Jo2: "Where is papa?"
Mommy: Go to office.
Jo2: Orrrr.....buy sweet-sweet, lilipop (Lollipop), and d-ing gum (chewing gum)
mommy: No.
Jo1: didi, papa must go to office working, then got money, then only take u to buy sweet-sweet @ Tesco. Office there don't have sweet-sweet one.
Jo2: okeey.......hmmm.......

No outing Sunday

Today, I decided to stay at home. No shopping, no swimming, no playground and no visit to park too. Papa2jojo and I went to "ta-pao" food for lunch juz now and the kids are now in their wonderland (afternoon nap). ME?? Reading & writing blogs at home.
The reason:

1. Jo2 need more rest since he juz undergo a minor operation which he shouldn't walk too much.
2. I overspent last week-liao. What did I buy??? I bought 2 dress from secret garden for Jo1, a set of pyjamas from Strawberry for Jo2, SK-II products for over RM500, , 4pcs of blouse from Islee for myself, 4 nail polisher @ RM5.90 each (it's a good deal & nice dolor too)and a sleeping mask @ RM79.90 from The Face shop, all for ME.
3. Juz too lazy to go out, that's actually explained all.....

The "WHY" & "BECAUSE"

Recently, the "why" and "b'coz" has become his favorite word.
Jo2 popped out his first why on Sat when I fed him in the kitchen. While sitting on his high chair he saw ants on the floor, and he asked me to look at it but I juz ignored it so that he can finish his meal faster. Later, I noticed that he actually took out some rice from his mouth and "purposely" drop it on the floor. Guess what, he wanted to feed his so called "pet."

Scene 1
mommy: Hey, what are u doing?
Jo2: Ants hungry.
mommy: No, u cannot give yr food to the ants.
Jo2: Whhhyyy......?
mommy: ummmm, b'cos if u feed them now.....they wouldn't go away and will stay here waiting for yr food.
Jo2: Whhhyyy......?
mommy: b'cos they think it's nice to stay here......got something to eat-ma!
Still, he dropped the food to his "pet" even though I expained to him......

Scene 2
mommy: Jo2, time to change pyjamas.....come, come.
Jo2: Whhhyyy......?
Didn't wait for me to answer.....
Jo2: (d)coz it's time to nen-nen and slip(sleep).
mommy: yes, good boy.
