Daddy's Story Time

I really salute Daddy's creative ways of telling stories to them. He doesn't need a book.
So far I've heard 2 versions.

Version One:
He told Gar Gar, long long time ago there were 3 monks in living in the mountain, an old monk, a young monk n a chipmunk ...

Version Two:
He told the 2 of them, one day Barney, Dinosaur and Koala bear went to NTUC to buy something. So Barney pushed the trolley and they were stopped by the security cos Dino is too big to enter and Barney is too fat. In the end they had to ask Koala to buy on their behalf...

Mommy nearly fainted..

Mommy is PIG!

Julian asked if he could take out my sunglasses for me. I told him that it is not sunglasses but it's spectacles! Sunglasses have dark coloured lens but spectacles are see thro'. Mommy is wearing a pair of glasses cos without it, mommy cannot see far. Mommy is myopic! At this point, Julian gave me a shocking look & said, "Hah!? Mommy is PIG!?"

At this point of time, I'm speechless.

Shame Shame Mommy

Julian is allergy to Gar Gar's poo poo. Whenever he smelled it, he'll start puking or coughing. As if his poo poo smell great n the rest of us are smelly! However everytime mommy wanna do "big business" in the toilet, he always wanna follow so this time I juz brought the 2 in for a shower as well. Then as I was flushing the toilet bowl, he started to cough, I asked him what happened. He was sitting in the long bath and said, "Mommy, your poo poo so smelly of cos I vomit." He made me so embarrass for that moment.

Lizard Part II

I've a pack of lizard which I bought it to scare Julian so he would not touch those things he was not suppose to touch. But after a while he was no longer afraid of it. Now I left it in the long bath for them to play while showering. The 2 of them always fight for these reptiles. They just can't share. They want it all by themselves & Julian will start beating Gar Gar & Gar Gar will bite him. This morning, they were fighting for it again. I told Julian that Gar Gar didn't snatch his lizards but Gar Gar tought he was afraid of it so wanna eat them up to protect him. He looked at Gar Gar for a moment and told Gar GaR, "Thank u very much! Gar Gar, dun need to eat these lizards for me. I'm not scare anymore."

Gar Gar is 13m old!

Prince Gar Gar is learning to talk now. He can mumbles words that has a "B"... like bus, barn (stands for Barney).. Initially Daddy was very excited that he could finally called him pa pa...later then I realised that he was pointing to Barney or Bus!

Julian's 1st words were car and dad but Gar Gar is more fillial, he knows the meaning of "饮奶思源" and he called me FIRST! ke ke ke...

Also when we asked him what's his name, he could say "GAR GAR" but maybe he always heard his gor gor calling him GAR GAR in a very low, harsh tone.. he too uses the same tone when he called himself GAR GAR.

Finally the most important phrase that he knows is of cos "MILK MILK".

P.S: Gar Gar, u r so lovable n mommy can't stop loving u!

Lizard!

As usual, we were in the room preparing to watch some DVDs after dinner. I was looking for a dino DVD that Julian loves to watch, then suddenly Julian was screaming n crying for Daddy. He saw a baby lizard crawling on the wall.

This is the first time he was asking for Daddy to help. So I called Daddy for him but Daddy was very agitated with me n Julian. He was blaming me for making him like a gal, always crying. (Too bad! Daddy doesn't share our interesting moments.)

After I hung up the phone, Julian decided that he should cover his eyes n pretend to see no evil (i.e. to be an ostrich). So to wrap up everything, I told him no more lizard. He asked me where was the lizard. I told him Gar Gar had saved him! While he covered his eyes, the lizard crawled to him n Gar Gar ate the lizard. So it was in Gar Gar's tummy now. At this moment, Gar Gar was making a yummy sound (something that he always do whenever he pretends to eat).

Julian was convinced that Gar Gar had eaten the lizard to save him so he gave Gar a kiss on his cheek. When Gar Gar wanna give him a kiss too, he told Gar Gar cannot cos his mouth is dirty!? (Maybe he has just swallowed a lizard.)

Julian's broken hand

Julian "broken" hand

We were in the room with Gar Gar watching our favourite Barney after dinner when suddenly Julian told me, "Mommy, I wanna sell my backside." I almost burst into laughter. I asked him how much he wanna sell his backside. He would normally say $0.50 but I guessed he knows his backside is worth some money, he said he wanna sell it for $20. I couldn't control my laughter anymore. I moved over to sit beside him and just when I was about to sit next to him, suddenly there was a cracking sound. Immediately, he gave me a worry look n told me, "mommy, I broke my hand." I laughed even more. So I played along with him.

"O no! U broke your hand like your cousin? U need to go hospital to bandage it." I held his hand and started to shake his wrist a little. Then tell him, "see! It's so soft, it's broken. " This made him worried more. I decided to play a joke on him so I carried him up n said will rush him to the hospital. I carried him to the study room and told daddy to send him to hospital. He was so worry that he cried n told daddy his hand was broken. Thinking Daddy would be laughing at his silliness but the impatient daddy brought the crying Julian back to me n scolded me. He said he has no time for this kind of joke!

Mommy has to wrap up my joke with Julian. So i took my heat powder and rubbed it on his wrist then took out a pink handkerchief to bandage his hand (just like his fel fel jie jie). He told me he felt much better and for the whole night he was so careful with his hand and he dare not use it to hold anything.

Before he slept, i asked if he would wanna remove his bandage, he said no. Now he is sleeping with his bandage.

That's naughty mommy n silly Julian! That's how we play with each other!

I Love kids!

Times fly! Mommy has been with Daddy for 20 years! The result is 2 little monsters, 1-32months old n the other 13months old.

Daddy always say he loves children n had been urging me to have children but I always feel that life is suffering, endless rat races..... So why have children n let them suffer? N after u give them so much, u will never know in the end, will u get back the same. So having children is never in my agenda.

Then Nicole came into my life. I thought I'm only adopting a dog but jie jie is so lovely n she is just like a baby. She brought out the mother instinct in me n I decided I wanted a kid in my life n also for Daddy. So that was how we had bb Julian n Julian was so sweet n lovable. I thought Julian would be too lonely if he was the only child so we decided to have 2. Gar Gar was borned.

As the 2 lovely ones grow up, they become little monsters terrorising everyone n almost tear down the house. But no matter what they are, how they shag me out, I still love them so much!

Nevertheless, the opposite goes for Daddy. He realised he loves smiley children only. So now only mommy is taking care of the 2 monsters n loving them. Daddy is staying clear of the monsters zone. He will only provide.... Poor mommy, I can't transform them back to little sperms anymore!

PS: Julian n Gar Gar, say thank you to jie jie. Without her, mommy will never have the 2 of u! So u must love jie jie more!

Gar turns ONE!

Gar turned one on 24/01/2009. We had so many things to celebrate on his birthday! We shifted to our new apartment! It's Chinese New Year on 26/01/2009! So I threw an expensive dinner feast for everyone! We had 盆菜 for the party!

Talking about his milestone at 1! Mommy is so guilty cos I was so busy with the renovation, shifting house, getting another maid... that I didn't have time to update the blog for Gar Gar. Gar Gar actually can walk but somehow the "kiasi" Gar Gar wouldn't dare to walk and too lazy to hold on to the wall to walk. Maybe he is the darling of everyone and too much carrying esp. always in my sarong sling so he "couldn't walk" at 12 month. However when he gets too excited playing in MY GYM, he could walk! Gar Gar loves water very much - from drinking water to playing with water... so our new house's swimming pool is just perfect for him! My darling is no more on feeding bottle when drinking water, he could use a spout cup now! As he is still a breastfed baby, therefore he took a long time to adjust to "many holes" spout cup! He is also very curious about things around him so he is always pointing his fingers to things that he see. Like his gor gor, he loves to pretend to drive car. As it is the CNY festive period, he saw a lot of lion dancing and will always pretend to do the lion dancing. He is also a surviver as he has already learnt to demand and snatch thing from Julian. He could even bite the maid or anyone who provoke him! He does has a gentler side, he love to kiss Julian but gor gor is always running away lamenting that he is drooling...

Nicole's fur coat

Now that I can shower Nicole in a white long bath, I realised no wonder over the years, Nicole has turned from a black n silver schnauzer to a dark salt n pepper! Because the colour of her fur runs! That also means Nicole cannot be "machine washed", she can only be "hand washed". Ha ha..
Unique is so lucky, no matter how she wash her 5 "lions", she doesn't have to worry about such problems!

CNY 2009

This year CNY is a special one cos there are triple celebrations! CNY, See See's birthday and my mom's birthday. I ordered 2 durian cakes for them and I guessed Julian is the happiest cos he can collect "ang bao" and "blow candles".

31st Dec 2008

Gar Gar called me MAMA! This has paid off whatever slavery I had done for him and the family for the whole year of 2008!

The 1st day of 2009, Julian woke up at 6am and the 1st thing he said to me was "I wanna 大便!" so I brought him to poo. Chinese symbolise it as a pot of gold so not too bad, Julian gave me a pot of gold early in the morning! Then while waiting for him to finish his "business", he suddenly asked me what do I want? I replied by asking what he wanna get for me. He sat in his "thinking seat" and said he would buy me a towel cos the one I was using has a hole! I'm going to bring him to choose a towel for me but of cos I am the one to pay. Never mind, it's my son's thought that count!

Princess Nicole, gives me a big ang bao today! My only daughter is on heat on the 1st day of 2009! A red packet is ok but please dun give me grandchildren yet like your Unique yi yi and now she is leading a dog life!

So not too bad, my children have all given me something. Daddy has called me on the last day of 2008 to say thank you for my slavery in 2008 but I was already sleeping soundly when he called, so except "THANK YOU", I didn't really know what he was saying.

2009 will definitely be a better year for me cos my kids are growing up and hopefully less clingy to me. And hopefully our family is going to stay happy like the BARNEY BYE BYE song. "I love u. U love me. We are HAPPY FAMILY....."

Bloody Gar Gar

I was breastfeeding Gar Gar as usual and suddenly felt a sharp pain on my nipple. Then I saw Gar Gar's mouth with blood but he was still laughing. I was more concerned if he had bite his tongue or lip and where did the blood come from than my painful nipple. After I had ascertain that he was ok then I start to check my nipple. Naughty Gar Gar bite my nipple till it bled! I actually wanna take a photo of him with his bloody mouth but I was too angry to do so! I was really so piss off by him that I wish to bite him on his cheek so he would have 1 more dimple from mommy!

Farewell Party

This was Julian's MY GYM farewell party. He had been in MY GYM since 10 months old. From crawling to walking, from "ga ga"ing to a very talkative Julian. We will miss the teachers here very much.

Christmas Gathering

This year Christmas was a special one because we had the honour to invite gong gong and ah ma to attend. The traditional lunch gathering was held at Globetrotter in United Square. Look at my 2 cutie Santa Claus, they were not there to give presents but to collect presents. Hee Hee...

24孝mommy!

I really have to salute myself for being a 100% hands on mommy and so devoted to them! Julian loves sword cos Daddy has one displayed in our living room from his army officer day! I couldn't buy him a sword knowing that he will use it to terrorise his siblings. I dun mind him having a balloon sculpted sword cos it is less destroying but the problem is I am tired of queueing for one! So I decided to learn how to do one! Guess which one is done by me?

I'm now very good with sculpting a sword so Julian, what do u want next?! Even Aunty Winnie can't stand me cos I could just fold a gun for him on the spot!

Gar Gar is 11m old!

Darling Gar Gar is 11m old! Forever so charming! Daddy said it's his gene! I said nothing so special about his GARfield's eyes if not for his DEEP DIMPLES! And that's inherited from my two sisters! Many thanks to Unique yiyi for sponsoring this santa claus to suit, many beautiful photos were taken with it!


What to say about this little thing! He definitly has inherited my bad temper! Now he never lose out when comes to snatching, if he lose to gor gor, he will use his secret weapon - CRY! Even gor gor tries to copycat but mommy dun relent! He is now very clingy to me and it is worst than gor gor! but if there's something interesting, anyone can carry him. He is now very curious with the surrounding. He is beginning to be fussy about food too! So I guess the cereal days are going to end soon and mommy has to start cooking gourmet dishes for him!

Last month, he could pull to stand and actually we realised he could stand on his own without support for seconds but he is not very confident about himself.

He is "ga ga'ing" more often now but we never understand what he is trying to say so I always ask my elder baby - Julian to translate. Gor Gor will imitate me saying, "Gar Gar, what are u talking about? Gor Gor dun understand your bb language."

Now ma ma doesn't need to remind myself about milking time cos he knows how to pull my clothes and look for the juicy nipples. Whenever he sees 1, he'll laugh and open his big mouth for it! That's part of the joy of breastfeeding! If I've the chance, will definitely video it but too bad - not for public viewing. Ha Ha...

Mommy's Christmas wish

Last night I had a dream. I dreamt of Santa Claus. He said he could grant me a wish this christmas. So I asked him to give me a 24hours kids-free christmas day! I planned to have a 10 hours sleep without break and for the rest of my 14 hours would be spent idling around!

He thought for a while and said, "Ho Ho Ho... I will grant you your wish 2 years later." Then he disappeared!

When I woke up, I have 2 santa claus monsters sleeping by my sides and my christmas presents from them - is 2 black panda eyes!

MERRY CHRISTMAS!

Mommy is stranded!

Poor mommy is stranded without a maid! The two hyperactive monsters and a high standard mommy have driven the maid nuts and she has thrown in her towel yesterday.

Luckily everyone came to my rescue. See See stayed overnight to help out. She has broken her rule of not staying overnight several times to help me. Dear sis Unique is busy with her furnitures shopping but still dropped in at some maid agencies to help me find a maid. I am really grateful to all who tried to help me in one way or another. Thank you very much!

This morning I woke up at 6.15am despite having to wake up several times at night to feed Gar Gar. I washed all the clothes in washer, sweeped n mopped the floor, fold the clothes.. & etc. I realised these housework are something I dreaded and hated doing it so much in my life and I still dislike doing it but this time I had done it willingly without complains! I guess that the power of love! I wanna keep the floor clean as I do not want Gar Gar to pick things up on the floor and eat. I washed the toilet as the soap has made the bathroom floor slippery, i need to scrub it away so that my flat-footed Julian would not slip.

Now I am too tired to continue blogging. Need to sleep now cos i still have my graveyard shift to perform, i.e. breastfeeding Gar Gar. I still have to do housework, sending Julian to school n my project X tomorrow... O yes, and looking for a new maid. Nite Nite...

P.S. :Thanks to Unique yi yi who introduced me a WIFI phone. It enables me to blog despite my hectic and busy schedule! I really love it so much!

Gar Gar is 10m old!

BB Gar Gar is 10m old! He is now a Waddler Class student in MY GYM. He is so adorable with his two small eyes and 2 deep dimples, his teachers love him so much! That makes him a popular student in his class. Unlike gor gor Julian, he does not cry much when the teachers play with him.

He has learnt to clap his hands after joining the WADDLER CLASS. We all get very excited over his new learnt trick! Come to think about it - it's only 1 trick and we are so excited. I guess that's Parents! Always proud of their kids!

He loves to go MY GYM cos he can exhaust all his energy crawling and tumbling there. He gets very excited and starts screaming in the school!

He loves to walk around altho he couldn't walk yet (can only pull to stand) but as he is the little prince at home, the maid always hold his hands and walk around the house. He has 6 teeths to date and loves to eat!
