April 29th, 2009 · 1 Comment · Uncategorized

The time has come again…. Time for horrible hair days… for months… I didn’t record this event after Donald’s birth, but I did for Toria’s birth, because the hair loss after Toria was HORRIFYING.    (see Post Partum Hair Loss Episode 2). Now, this is to record for post-Lizzie. 25/3, Lizzie is 3.5mths old, that [...]

Mummy the Hair Stylist?

April 26th, 2009 · 2 Comments · Uncategorized

2 girls… busy tying their hair.  I have a small packet of rubber bands in my bag, all the time.  So in case we are having a meal and Toria’s hair is “enjoying” the soup as well, I have immediate rectification.  Of cos it is easier if I tie up her hair first before we [...]

Quality Time Daddy+Donald

April 19th, 2009 · 1 Comment · Uncategorized

Since the birth of Liz, there had been some changes to Donald & Toria’s bedtime. Previously, they would sleep at 11pm, waking up 9/10am.  But after Liz was born, they started to wake up at 7am, so they CAN’T continue sleeping only at 11pm, so calculating based on the amount of sleep they require at [...]

Our Door “Lady”

April 18th, 2009 · No Comments · Uncategorized

Daddy taught Donald how to open door and hold it open by just using his feet.  Now Toria saw Donald doing that, she picked it up as well.  So she would rush to the door every time to hold it open for everyone, the only issue is, she has yet to learn from Donald how [...]

Lap Dance?

April 18th, 2009 · 1 Comment · Uncategorized

This is how I manage to eat my meals if Liz is whiny.  I would put her tummy down on my lap.  Normally, she would stop crying and happily look around.  If she cries, I would just jiggle my legs.  If it is near her nap time, she will actually fall asleep in this position. [...]

Beco in Action

April 18th, 2009 · No Comments · Uncategorized

Ok, I am getting very comfy with my beco.  Moved away from ergo.  But still am thankful for the ergo that brought me through 2 kids, 4 years! Well, the beco is good in many ways, the only “negative” for me, is that it is more “lay chay” to wear compared to ergo.  Maybe only [...]

Bakugan

April 18th, 2009 · No Comments · Uncategorized

Ah… the newest craze?  These little balls, bakugan, that will open up into different figurines, like dragon, serpent, tortoise, praying mantis etc, when they are rolled over a magnetic gate card.  There are 5 different elements.  Each creature has a point attached to them.  When 2 different opponents’ bakugan lands on the same card, it [...]

April 14th, 2009 · No Comments · Uncategorized

Today is Oma’s birthday.  For the past almost 10 years that I had married into the family, we had always celebrated her birthday on the 17th April every year.  It is her birthday as she had recalled, but this year she told us that she had remembered wrongly.  Based on her chinese lunar birthdate, her [...]

I had PERFECT PERFECT eyesight till 2004.  I could see the bus number when the bus is still at the earlier bus stop!  Hiaz… all changed since I gave birth to my first child.  Not sure whether it is due to age, or due to the fact that I cried during my confinement, my eyesight [...]

Fluffy? Foo Foo?

April 8th, 2009 · 2 Comments · Uncategorized

I am using the California Baby Hair Conditioner as a leave in conditioner for my girls.  I saw how effective it was on Toria’s hair.  Her hair was a little dry before and would be wispy, after using the conditioner for some time, her hair now is soft and smooth.  Many people noticed her good hair quality [...]

Last year, she bought a set Rainbow Cleaning System as her mothers’ day present, and she was very satisfied with it.  She told me that it [...]

Ah Ma is 55!

April 4th, 2009 · No Comments · Uncategorized

My dearest Mummy is 55!  She was just telling me, a while back, about the circumstances under which she met her future husband, my dad, for the first time, when she was just 14.  That year, coincidentally, was also the same year that MY husband was born.  Maybe God decided that since MY parents had [...]
