After months of trying to remember my own blog.. I finally found it. Eventhough it’s by coincidence, I guess it’s fated that I have to pen today’s happening here. *wink wink*
September 7, 2009 – the day started at 7am. Need to bath Annie, wash the bottles, boil the water, refill supplies, pack Annie’s bag, wash and hang the clothes, get ready myself, arghh.. so much today and mom’s coming to pick me up at 9am. Rush rush rush rush..
9.30am – had breakfast at our usual noodle stall.. met taiyi and yi cheong.. yak yak yak.. oh no! we are late. It’s already 10.10am. Sis called and nagged at us for being late. Gotta go.. rush rush again.
10.30am – Arrived at destination. Wow! This place is kewl.. I always wonder how isit at a TV station. The feeling is sensational. I get too see Djays at work.. so this is how it is.. From now onwards, I can totally Imagine them when I listen to the radio. Almost got lost but made it when I saw Sis and cousin sister. Annie was getting really excited.. asking loads of why(s).
11.00am – Preparation time. Annie looks beautiful in her gown and her sweet tiara. She feels totally princess. All the kids looks gorgeous as well. The kids are very excited but nothing compared to the parents. When Annie saw other kids putting on make up.. she also stood in the queue.. ask for the lipstick as well. She is so vain.
I thought she would be shy and would hang on to me.. but no.. she was so at ease and enjoying every moment. While Annie was having a ball.. mommy was almost having a heart attack. It’s so difficult to organise so many kids. I am glad I did not open a kindergarten. I can barely wait for the show to be over.
We rehearsed a few times before the show started. I kept my fingers crossed that Annie will not make a fool of herself. 2 minutes before the show start and counting down. Eeck! What is Annie doing? Why is she walking to the host? Oh-oh! I tried to signal for Annie to walk back to Yi Ma.. but the producer is asking her to go to the host. I was worried sick. 5 seconds before the show starts.. I look at Annie sitting demurely next to the host. chit chatting like a celebrity on a talk show. She is so kewl and I am so proud of her.
Overall, the kids were great even though during the point in time, I almost fainted. Some kids was jumping on stage, Annie was walking in and out of the show. One kid refuse to come down, one was squatting down, another was sticking her tongue out at the camera. hehehe. But when we were watching the playback afterwards, it’s really funnie.
What a milestone!

Stomach: Ah-choo! <Sneeze, sneeze>
Intestine: Here.. let me help you clean up . Whooosh!
Stomach: Thank you sweetie Int.. tat’s really helpful.
Intestine: Don’t mention it. hehehe
Yeah! The last two weeks was all about my stomach and intestine. I was totally down with acute gastroentritis. Otherwise known as ROTAVIRUS. It was kinda kewl for total body cleansing and contributes to my weight loss plan. But the discomfort and pain was not worth it. hehehe. Every hour you either discharge from the mouth or from the back. The dillema would be when it’s coming out from both…
Almost everyone in the family got it. Even Sweetie and The DUCK. Can you imagine how popular the bathroom was?
Anyway, could not do much. Stayed at home mostly during the weekend; hanging out in the bathroom. Totally wasted. Could not even bring myself to sit upright. All I wanted to do is sleep sleep and sleep.
Now that I am only left with 1 week this weekend is going to be catch-up time. There’s so much to buy like
- Mandarin Oranges
- Dried Meat
- Mushroom
- Jimmy’s supplements
- CNY Clothes
- CNY shoes
A lil bit of research on this:
What is ROTAVIRUS
Rotavirus is an extremely common and highly contagious stomach virus, and it can be serious. It causes an illness of the stomach and intestines called gastroenteritis.
Symptoms
Usually begin with fever, vomiting and upset stomach follow by Watery Diarrhoea, abdominal cramps, poor appetite, nausea.
How isit spread
- Contaminated hands or objects
Word of advice
STAY AWAY FROM PEOPLE INFECTED WITH THE VIRUS! IT’s HIGHLY INFECTIOUS.

My dearest princess is going to be Two in a few days time . Yup … 2 for Terrible Two. Sometimes I really wonder if this is just a myth or is it scientifically proven. Somehow, the last two weeks I see some changes in her behaviour. She is more cheeky, extremly tricky and getting more and more temperamental. She is more fun now but also more difficult to manage. If this is only the start of the Terrible Two stage – OMG!!! I totally cannot imagine the rest of the year. It’s definately not easy being mom.
How do other parents bring up their 2 year olds? How should I discipline my two year old? How should I educate my two year old? What should two year old eat? How do I get my two year old to listen to me but at the same time we maintain the buddy buddy relationship instead of mummy-daughter relationship? How do I bring out the best in my daughter… encourage her to grow and learn?
Arrgh… So many questions and yet I still cannot figure out the answer. How nice if there is a manual on how to bringup a successful kid.. hehehehe.. wudn’t tat be nice.

Shopping boy’s clothing for my two nephew has always been a drag. All the boys clothings are basically the boring same same stuff. Nevertheless, I spend more time looking for the right clothes for them compared to my daughter. I guess it’s basically the choices available in the market. I don’t want to get them anything too “over” design; something suitable for many occasions and definately quality must be good and yet comfortable.
So this CNY 2009, I set out again on my mission to get the suitable CNY clothings for my two darling boys. I started my mission as early as Novermber last year. The clothings that I see are either too casual for CNY or too formal or too CNY. Was on the verge of giving up until I saw this blog entry by Mumsgather about DOMII selling boy’s clothing. Totally unbelievable!
Vibrant red kungfu style shirt. Not the typical Chinese design but still maintaining the Oriental touch. The red is not too red and design is not too dramatic. Something fresh and interesting – definately unique : A Style of its own. Something that I am sure they can wear at other occasions. Comes in both long and short sleeves – just perfect! I will get the long sleeve of the bigger boy while the younger can wear the short sleeve. I am sure they will look so kewl but yet smart.
Will see if I can win a voucher to subsidise for my shirts… hmm and then maybe I can use the extra cash to get something similar for my daughter.. heheheh.
Wish me luck!

Me being me have always been the reserve sort; the kind that does not like to reveal too much about myself; not very open; does not know how to express myself. I have never like writing.. not during my school days and definately not now. Conclusion – I don’t why I am even blogging.. muahahaha. My friend Dan said it’s like writing a diary and leaving it on the table and I totally agree.
Anyway, during lunch today, we were talking about our mission to loose/gain weight and my friend Steve suggested that I should write a blog to keep track of my progress. If I am successful, maybe sell my recipe and earn some pocket money. Hmm… not a bad idea at all. Therefore, since I am putting in so much effort to create a blog therefore I have increase my target to loose 10 kg instead of the initial 5 kg by June 30, 2009. So tomorrow I will start to pen down my actions and progress. Wish me luck guys!
Let the mission begin…
