My best mother's day gift

Today,in the Mother's Day party, one of the event is, my son and his classmates present a Chinese poem to all mummies :-
（唐‧ 孟郊‧《遊子吟》）
慈母手中线， 游子身上衣。 临行密密缝， 意恐迟迟归。谁言寸草心， 报得三春晖

Even though my boy can't pronounce it perfectly, but i feel so proud of him. I never expect he can remember the whole thing. Kelvin, BRAVO!! Mummy so proud of you!

But....i am not a good mummy as i can't sew well.
so the modern version should be...
慈母手中"钱"，游子身上衣。临行密密"买"，意恐迟迟归。谁言寸草心， 报得三春晖

He is such a sweet boy!

When we almost ready to go out for our late breakfast early lunch at Gurney Plaza, Kelvin insisted that he wants to bring along his sling bag. I told him NOPE, but he insisted, so in order not to create any unnecessary unhappiness between me and him, so i agree to let him bring along his bag but with the condition, he needs to bring it himself, not me! I didn't even check what is inside his bag, as i trust my little boy, he wont bring rubbish in his bag, LOL!

We reached Gurney around 1030am, and the place that we want to go for our meal is not ready until 11am. So we let the kids run around at the ground floor and they found out there's a small amusement center right in front of the BBQ Plaza. At first, they just explore each of the machines, and after one round, i guess they found out what they want, so Kelvin start to ask for money to buy the tokens. Not every time we will make his wish come true, so this time we rejected his request. And guess what, he told us, "no worry, i got money!" and i was like "huh?" Guess what, he transferred the money in his piggy bank into a small pencil casing. Both me and hub speechless, so i only let him get 2 tokens for 1 game.

When we headed to the restaurant, Kelvin gave us another surprise. He took out a bib from his bag by telling us this is for Kaitlyn. She worry that Kaitlyn will dirty her pretty dress, so he insisted that she needs to use bib.

He is such a sweet boy. He gave me 2 surprises just within 1 hr time. :)

My girl oh my girl

My girl is going through her terrible 2 and separation anxiety now. And this really give me a big headache.

She will be very demanding, whatever she wants means she wants it. No matter how u coax her, how u negotiate with her, it will be a BIG NO NO from her.

She will walk walk walk and suddenly hit on her brother's face or head. And the poor boy will show his sour face. Luckily the brother is very kind, he will not hit the sister. And with this, this make the sister become little barbarian girl in the house.

She will walk walk walk and out of sudden hug the brother real tight and shake the brother left and right. But of course with her strength and the brother's weight, she wont be able to shake the brother much, LOL!

At night, when i told her to sleep with daddy while i go to change my pajamas, she will burst into tears and kept crying until i wake into the room.

In the morning, wake up, doesn't see anyone in the room, cry cry cry...

But thank god, the separation anxiety doesn't happen when i drop her to school. She will only unwillingly let the teacher to carry her out from the car, but no tears when i wave bye bye with her, what a big relief.

Hope she will pass through these phases ASAP. Wish me luck!

His said he can't sleep!

Yday night, Kelvin told me that he can't fall sleep.

K: mummy, i can't sleep. I keep thinking, keep thinking.
M: huh? what is the thing that bother you and you keep thinking?
K: i keep think on how to make mei mei to be a good girl.
M: oh boy **feel so bad, must be when the sister naughty, he also get scolded, coz when i scold, i will scold both of them together :( **
K: mummy, when mei mei become good girl, we buy her a present, ok?
M: sure, what present do you have in your mind?
K: **think for a while** we go cake house and buy her a cake, ok?
M: ok. But mei mei doesn't eat cake. So you buy cake for her, and you eat the cake?
K: yes, buy for her and i eat
M: **slapped forehead** ok, good boy. So now, you need to sleep else you will be late to school tomorrow.

So, he really want the mei mei to be good girl, or he wants to eat cake? LOL!
Kelvin is really a sweet boy. When he sees me get so mad at the sister, he will comfort me by telling me, he will pray to GOD and hope that tomorrow mei mei will be a good girl, LOL!

Why u said Good Morning to your friend but now is night??

Today, when i was having my nite telecon at night, Kelvin was standing beside me. As soon as my US counterpart dial in to the call, i said Good morning to her.

And next, it was thousands and millions of doubts from this little boy.
K: Mummy, why you said GOOD MORNING to your friend, now is night time already
M: oh....boy. U got it partially right. It's our night time here, but my friend, she stays in US, and now she just wake up from sleep, so i say GOOD MORNING to her.

I know, he doesn't know that i am talking, and he doesn't buy my explanation. He just keep quiet and walk away from me. LOL! Boy ar boy, hope mummy doesn't confuse you :)

吾家有女成长 - My growing up girl

** I have been missing in blogging for quite some time...until recently, i think i better be active back in blogging and write down the sweet moments of me with the kids**

It's really fun to have a girl as,

1. You can dress up your girl as u like
2. Girl is more caring than boy
3. Girl know how to win daddy and mummy's heart

And....

But, all these fun will go away when...

1. Your girl start to have their own thought and opinion
2. Your girl start to make their own decision

I used to enjoy my time with my girl until recently....

1. She started to have her own decision
2. She started to have her own thought

Stared from last Monday, every morning i need to fight with her on what to wear to school. And she will tell me she wants to wear dress instead of her usual shirt and short pant. The great reason that she gave me and hubb is "I want to wear like mummy, mummy wear dress!" **slapped forehead** So the main culprit is MUMMY!! I don't like to wear pant, so i will wear dress or blouse n skirt to work. I will only wear pant to work once in the blue moon.

Even during weekend, she also insisted to wear dress in the house, and somemore do it like fashion show. For just few hours in the morning til noon, she changed 3 dresses, LOL!

I hardly wear jeans. So, a week before our trip to Taiwan, i took out my old jeans and wear to work. As soon as Kaiyltn see me in jeans, she instructed me to take it off and asked me why am i wearing daddy's jeans. ** slapped forehead** Cannot blame her, as she NEVER see me wearing jeans, LOL!

A blurrrrr mummy!

This morning, my boy asked me,
K : Mummy, aeroplane has how many wheels.
Without second thought, the blur mummy told him, 2 WHEELS!!

Happily , mummy go to work and ask his colleagues, and get whack by my fellow colleagues.
**u tot aeroplane is bicycle, 2 wheels** oops...

Come home, quickly test on my boy and see whether he still remember what i said.
M: boy, how many wheel does an aeroplane has?
K: 2 WHEELS??
M: no no, boy, it should be 22 wheels for A380.

**my boy showed me confused face**I am sorry boy...

Quickly, google on A380, and even go to youtube to show him how aeroplane take off and landing.
