Happy 4th Birthday, Jo1

Yesterday was Jo1's 4th Birthday. Went to Waka Japanese Restaurant in City Bayview Hotel to celebrate since she likes sushi soo much. She enjoyed the food, but only take a little portion compared to papa & mummy.

At night, Jo1 told me that she is very happy coz it's her birthday and mummy brought her to eat sushi even though don't have cake and blow candles (as we had it earlier already). I am glad that she knows how to "appreciate" at the age of 4. That's mummy's girl........Happy Birthday, my little princess!!!

First come first park

This morning, I spot a nice parking space at the wet market near my office. So, I decided to drive forward a little bit and reverse parking. I put on my signal light, I change my gear to "R" and was about to drive in my car to that space. Suddenly, there was an uncle (about 60's years old, tan skin, cigarette in his mouth) horn his car and straight away he drove in his car to the space I spotted first.

With no second thought, I block my car in front on his, walked to him and tell him that I wanted to park my car here, then walked back to my car. Suddenly, I felt that my hand is cold and body like shivering a bit. Why I have the guts to do so, what if he insist not to remove his car, what if he scold me....

Anyway, I got to park my car and managed to buy some fruits.

For the past 1 week, it's been Jo2's practice "asking" to wear shoes for him right after he had his bath. It's started b'coz we normally bathe him first then only we bring him for "kaiKai" (go out)

So, now almost everyday when I arrived from work I still see him wearing his shoes walking here and there. Accroding to his kakak(maid), Jo2 will only "relief" after wearing his shoes, even just walk around the house.

Poor little fellow, he must be waiting and waiting for papa or mama to bring him out. I guess he wants to get himself ready (by wearing shoes) so that can go out anytime!!!

UPSR results is out today

Called my niece Mic just now, she scored 7A's in her UPSR exam(stand6 gov placement test). Another niece of mine Meg scored 4A's. Both of them did a great job, and I am proud of them (I also got 4A's what, so good enough oredi-la)

About these 2 niece of mine, both of them used to be very good friend, like those "ba le kor" always stick together whenever they go, can even holds hand while walking.

But, now, it's history. Mic is more outgoing person, she involved in school volleyball team, she is even Penang State rep. team. While the other girl, Meg she is more the "girlish" type. She plays Barbie doll with Jo1, she wears dress... ...she watch cartoons... ...

I guess ppl grows up and they found they have different character and different interest. Anyway, hope they will be friends forever just like me and my sister cousin Fong. We grown up together, during our school day she came to stay in my house every school holiday, we had same tuition teacher. Until now, eventhough I am morried and she is still single; we still go shopping on Sundays, eat out together, watch movie and she will come to my place whenever she is free.

Jo1 School Annual Concert 2005

When it comes to the end of the year, every school will have their own concert. Jo1 will participate in her school concert for the first time. She is going to perform dancing "Madagascar" in group and also poem recital - "He's got the whole world".

Here's the poem:
He's got the moutains and the rivers in his hands,
He's got the oceans and the seas in his hands,
He's got you and he's got me in his hands,
He's got the whole world in his hands.

Can't believe that I can memorize it now without looking on the papar, what to do.......kids learn, mummy has to learn too!!!

Happy Birthday, Papa2jojo & Jo1

14 Nov is Papa2jojo B'day. This year, Jo1's chinese B'day fall on the same day too. So, we had 2 cakes last time. Barney brownies' cake for Jo1 and Spanish cheese cake for Papa2jojo.

Bid farewell to BIL#3

At this hour, my BIL#3's flight is going to take off heading to US. He will be posting there for 1 1/2 year, to set up a new branch in New Mexico for his co. which built processor for almost all computers.

I personally think that he shouldn't leave at this time as their baby is going to due in 2 months time. But, he promised to fly back again when the baby is due to induce. According to my sis, he will be back for about a week in January b'coz he wants to be with my sis in the labor room. Then, he will return to US after 3-4 days after the baby is born.
I don't buy this idea at all in the first place. Why should he left a pregnant women alone here, then let her face whatever will come (I know it will be hard for my sis, miss him and sad to be lonely; as she depends on him after marriage coz he is a good planner, he plan everything from head to toes).
BIL will be back with her for a few days after she give birth, then left the mummy and baby again!!! (I think my sis will miss him and get sad again!!!)

I don't dare to call my sis now, as I know she need time to overcome this. B'coz I cannot take it when I see other people is crying........sob sob sob, afterwards I also cry (for no reason) just follow!!!! Heee Heee

New Food for the kids

Yesterday was a bright sunny Sunday. Unfortunately, I am the type of person who is afriad of SUN, so I decided to stay at home instead of going out. I cooked breakfast for the kids.

I wanted to let Jo2 try on eggs for a long time, but afraid that he is allergic to egg. Anyway, yesterday Jo2 had scramble egg for the first time and until today no sign of bad reaction. I really hope that his body can take it as I only cooked 2 egg yolks mix with his milk, and he really loved it. Later, in the afternoon, Jo2 had mashed potato and bun around 4 o'clock.

As for Jo1, I steamed some corn for her, mix with some salt and butter. She had 1/2 a bowl, I had 1 bowl, I think it really taste nice just like the stall selling at the shopping mall except mine one is without the AJINOMOTO!!

Play hard in day time & cry hard at nite

My little Jo2 has been waking up at nite and cried non-stop for the past few days. I very seldom bring him out at nite, b'coz I prefer to let him play and do whatever he likes at home instead mix in the crowd. I guess it was papa2jojo's fault who suggest to bring him out on Saturday.

So, I wanted to give a try again hopefully he will cope with going out more often. Again, we went to swimming and took a walk along Gurney drive to take some pictures. Today, I think my eyes is like a PANDA and look very puffy......Jo2 woke up every minutes, keep crying and crying non-stop!!! I wanted to try the cry-out method, but I just pity to see him cry for too long. So, I got no choice but to put him in "yau-yau"(swing) then only he fell asleep.

I decided to bring him out more often so that Jo2 will adapt to it. Yup, b'coz I don't have to work on Hari Raya!!! I can afford more cries.......ready to FACE it.

Eating Sushi @ Mc D

As usual, we will go shopping on Sunday (just window shopping) @ Gurney Plaza. Jo1 said that she wants Mc'D for dinner, she even mentioned that she likes the "BURGER" there very much. Mummy and daddy got no choice ....

On my way there, mummy is SMART enough to buy some sushi. (Unlike other kids, my Jo1 don't like Mc'D's food; it's rare, I know and save mummy lots of money too).

At Mc'D, after ordered the food, all set to start our dinner, Jo1 said she is full-liao after 1 bite on the burger .....so how??? We got no choice, but to let her eat the sushi that I bought just now.

Jo1 finished 4 sushi in less than 10 minutes (normally it take hours for her to finish her rice @ home) and I also notice that there's onw uncle looking at her, probably it's his first time to see a kid eating sushi @ Mc'D while the papa & mummy eat burger and fries and soft drinks......ha ha ha

Coincident

It's was one sunny Sunday when I decided to bring Jo1 & Jo2 to swim @PSC I was looking after Jo2 while Jo1 swimming in the baby pool. Suddenly I heard someone calling "Joshua, Joshua.....," I turned my head around then realized that someone is calling out his son's name and not my little boy. The boy is about 10 years old.

Later, the same lady called "Jolene, Jolene...," so I turned to her again but she was looking to the other direction. Funny ah I told myself, her little girl aged about 5 years old is actually has the same name as my Jo1 while elder son has the same name as my Jo2. (probably different spelling)

Jo1's real name = Jolene
Jo2's real name = Joshua

Still, I will continue to use Jo1 and Jo2 in this blog for my own typing convenient.

Lost 3 kg in 4 days

Yoohoo!! I have something to shout about. I lost 3 kg since Monday. Actually I just want to share something that I personally tested and really take effect. Here's the recipe:

Day1 Breakfast - Pineapple (hint: drink warm water first)
Lunch - Papaya
Dinner - Pineapple

Day2 Breakfast - Watermelon
Lunch - Watermelon
Dinner - Watermelon

Day3 Breakfast - Prune
Lunch - Strawberry
Dinner - Salad (green vegetables) / bakes potato

Day4 Breakfast - Grape
Lunch - Grape
Dinner - Grape

Note: there's not limit on intake amount. Take as many as you want, no hunger...
I think it's good for health to eat like this once a while to clear our stomach. This is the first time I tried and I think it's not difficult as seen and the greatest thing is I manage to lost 3 kg!!!
To be honest, I followed all these except I had 8-course dinner on the 2nd day, and I changed 2nd day's breastfast to honeydew instead of eating watermelon the whole day!!!

Mak Yee Po cum Kei Poh Ji (Busy body)

Went to Taiping (MIL place) last Sunday. Too bad, no more Sunday family outing since Taiping is a boring place to me, nothing much to explore except "keep" myself inside the house.

In the afternoon, we have a visitor, she is our neighbor (2 blocks from my MIL's house), in her mid 60's who "eat full nothing to do" type of auntie. As usual, she come and chit chat with my MIL, while me as a good DIL just sit a side and hear their conversation while feeding Jo2 porridge. Half an hour later, she walked near me and whispering to me. To my surprise, she told me that -
Auntie: "you have to watch out your maid, she is not doing her job well....bla..bla..bla"
Mama2jojo: "Why?"
Auntie: "I see that your clothes not white enough, it's not clean, your maid didn't wash it properly."
Mama2jojo: "Ahhhhh!!!" (I was stunt and keep silent, no reply, coz don't know what to say)

After she is gone, I asked papa2jojo....
Mama2jojo: "Can u tell me what's the color of my T/shirt?"
Papa2jojo: "It's grey-la"
Mama2jojo: "Guess what, just now that auntie said my t/shirt is not clean.

Actually, it's no big deal if other people say this to me, but not her, coz she is the very action type of people who like to show off, and treat her maid like "slave".

Don't expect me to scold my maid day and night just like her. No way......I think it's not worth it.

More good news

Additional good news:

1. My sis#3 is expecting a baby boy Jan'06. According to the doc, the baby might come out earlier than the EDD base on the growth size. My sis is putting on weight so does the baby, the doc is afraid that my sis will have complication if the baby's size is too big. This is their 1st baby. I think my BIL#3 is happy to have a son for their first baby.

2. My sis#2 is also pregnant. Her EDD is in Apr'06, and she is still in her 1st trimester. She has 2 boys aged 5 and 3. I notice that she has no sign of nausea, so I think this time is a baby girl (base on my 6 sense also my past experience....heeeheee). No doubt, the journey of pregnancy of baby girl is easy as compared to boy. No vomit, no morning sickness, good appetite, no insomnia...etc

3. One more pregnancy news, it's my BIL#2's youngest brother. He married a Japanses girl, and they stayed in US, they have been married for about 3 years, her wife just tested and confirm she is pregnant 2 days ago.

3. Just received call from Jo1's principal that she changed the date and place of her concert to 6 Nov, which means my MIL can come for the concert then, since her trip to China is on 10 Nov. She must be very proud that her grandaughter will have a poem recital and performing dancing.

Life is great with good news and enjoyment...of course with kids too!!

Good news VS bad news

Good news:
1. My husband's brother is expecting a baby boy (it's his 2nd baby, the first one is a girl)

Food poisoning....whose next??? Part 2

Went to Hospital for Jo2's follow check up. First Q asked by the paed was:

Paed: So, whose the last victim in this food poisoning crisis?
Mama2jojo: Of course "Me" la
Paed: Ha, Ha, Ha, mummy didn't wash habd properly.
Mama2jojo: No-la, it's actually I ate the porridge leftover by Jo2, since he didn't really have the appetite.
Paed: That's why I normally throw away leftover food instead of put in my stomach and even cost me much.
Mama2jojo: I 100% agreed. I got 1 jab on the buttock for this lesson. And the doc's fees cost me higher than the cost of that bowl of porridge. Hyaii!!!!

Actually, I wouldn't take the porridge if papa2jojo is not on vegetarian. Normally, he is the "CLEAN-UP BUS". Ha Ha Ha

Happy Birthday, baby Jo2

Happy Birthday, Son....

We went to the newly opened Metrojaya for shopping last nite together with Jo2 this time coz it was his birthday-ma........Next, we went to buy a slice of blueberry cheesecake from Secret Recipe (for fun only) b'coz mummy think that birthday boy must eat cake on his birthday

Yoohoo!!!He is officially a toddler now and not a "BABY" anymore. Anyway, I still prefer to call him "bebe"; too get used to it, can't get rit of it.

Food poisoning...whose next??? Part 1

3 blog posts in 1 day, I guess I break my record oredi. Wanted to blog the last few days, but no access to the net, what to do????
This is my 3rd post on food poisoning, but egghead is even faster than me to comments " 2 in a row" so I thought it will be fun to guess whose next???? (I mean among my family-la....)

Jo2 got food poisoning

On Saturday(1/10/05) morning Jo2 started to show a sign of food poisoining after the first milk feed in the morning @ 7am. I am kinda worried but can't stop it, since baby don't have strong immune system, and no control on germs passed into his body.

I brought him to see the paed, the paed informed me that he needed to be hospitalised for observation since he is small and some more with fever. I was mad that I waited for almost 1 hour just sitting and waiting in a PRIVATE HOSPITAL's reception hall for the admission procedures. All the staff were very busy, the hospital is packed with ppl, as I checked in to the 5th floor which is supposed to be children's ward, but they have actually allocate some children patients in 3rd, 5th, and 6th floor. Aiyoyo, the hospital is mostly occupied by children. I went home to pack some stuff @ 1pm, and came to hospital around 2:30pm, according to my maid, nothing has been done to Jo2, no nurse, no doc, just lunch for her.......

At 3pm, the paed asked me to bring Jo2 to treatment room, he needs to set line on him to put him on drip.......poor little Jo2, I heard him cried out like hell...Jo2 felt asleep after the cry and struggle!!!

During the stay in hospital, Jo2 well behaved and coorperate compared to other children. Some unwilling to take medicine, some cry a lot for no reason, just throw tantrum, I guess; some being carry in and out, to be away from their room. I am selfish, I think....I only carry Jo2 out of his room when I saw nobody is walking along the corridor coz I don't have him to catch more germs after mixing around with other kids. Not to mention about the playroom, I don't even bother to walk near that place.

Jo2 discharged on Tuesday(3/10/05), but he still has very soft stools, hope he will recover soon.
