Mafia 3 @ reunion dinner 2010

Mia said: "Wow! my left side and right side oso have 帅哥, I'm so happy!"

Finally we managed to organise a CNY 2010 reunion dinner. We had it at popo's favourite Canto Kitchen by Chef Kang. We had 盆菜，鱼生 and compliment desserts.

This year Uncle Daniel could not attend cos he was working and anyway, this year he prefer Philippine's cuisine. Unique yiyi misses all reunion dinners since she become a grandmother and she will join her son's family for the reunion dinner - normally will be fish and sweet potatoes meals from Natural Balance but this year she had additional dishes 干炒牛河and杨州炒饭. Although we are down with 2 but we are up with 3 more. Not just any 3 but mafia 3! They are also the reason why we were unable to have reunion all these years! Cos mommy and yiyi were busy producing the mafias for the last few years!

大年初一

Sick sick sick!

Another mad week. Effectively all 3 were sick 2 weeks ago. It started with Garwyn. He vomited twice in the middle of night, then fever start. The next day, Julian's turn. He had a fever for a week. Saw 2 pediatricians and finally did a blood test. He was given Augmentin and Amoxycillin to kill the virus and cost me almost S$500.00. ("Julian, next time use Mcafee or Norton to kill virus - only S$100+ and Unqiue yiyi said can kill alot of virus with added spywares somemore!") Nicole is troubled by skin problem and I even caused her half blind due to shampoo entering one of her eyes.

I was not able to sleep as I need to check their temperatures, sponge and medicate them in the middle of the nights. In the day time, I need to chase after Nicole to apple cream on her body, shower her with medicated shampoo every 3 days, and force her to take medicines.

Finally when they had recovered, my turn to fall sick but nobody bothers to take care of me : <

I dun wanna be old!

Last Sunday Julian told me while I was driving, "Mommy, I dun wanna become old!" I told him, "So? But everyone will grow old!" and Julian replied, "I just wanna become NEW!" Aaaa....... :8

He is right! Opposite of Old is New. My fault! I didn't tell him opposite of Old is Young too!

Gar Gar is 2!

Our Family outing to the Jurong Bird Park

Finally Gar Gar is 2! His 2 years old birthday fell on a Sunday 24th Jan, I thought only Mommy, Auntie and Gor Gor would celebrate his birthday with him since Daddy is alway busy especially on weekends. Nevertheles, Daddy made an exception to make time to celebrate Prince Garwyn's 2 years birthday.

Gar Gar and dino

I had bought the Dinosaur exhibition tickets quite some times ago so we went to the Dino exhibition in the afternoon. Julian freak out when he saw the Dino and he cried throughout the walk. Garwyn was more brave.

Gar Gar and his birthday treat at Swenson

In the evening, it is our family tradition to celebrate and dine at Swenson.

Garwyn's sensitive nose

Garwyn has an adenoid that is obstructing his airway. Mommy is busy with all the follow up in KK hospital. He has been on 12 weeks of Zrytec and 6 weeks of Nasonex. Recently mommy brought him for another follow up and has anticipated that he needs to go for a surgery. Fortunately Prof Tan said that his adenoid has shrunken a little and surgery is not required at the moment but he still need to continue his medication for a while.

Beside his block airway, he also had a "blockage" in his ass - he had constipation. He has been on Lactose and Colimix. Mommy also has to massage his tummy almost every nights. Every time he poo, he needs to use so much strength that he would shiver. Mommy had to resort to using suppository to end his suffering. Poor Garwyn : < Mommy thought maybe seeing a Chinese Physician would help but it was even worst. He still couldn't poo and his tummy got so bloated that he vomited almost everyday. Finally Mommy discarded all the Chinese medicine and brought him back to consult Dr Watt. She is really Gar Gar's saviour. Now he only needs to take 1 dose of Lactose and eat Papaya and he is doing his "business" almost everyday.

P.S.: Gar Gar, mommy is constantly worrying about you and I hope you will grow up strong and healthily.

Finder Keeper

Julian found 20 cents on the floor when shopping at Causeway Pt on 23rd Feb 2010. Remembering Daddy's advice - you can't pick thing on the floor except money" - he picked up the 20 cents and I advised him to spend it. He bought his favourite snacks - cheese ring in the nearby valueshop.

He picked a party pack at S$2.50 (Julian, u think your 20 cents is "牛车轮" so big!?) and queue in line, paid the cashier S$0.20. The cashier opened her eyes wide and stared at me. I paid the difference of S$2.30. In the end I heavily subsidised his cheesel! but seeing his happy face (cos he own it) is PRICELESS to me!

16th Sep 2010 - Coffee Shop at Marsiling

Another 胆小鬼! We were having dinner at a coffee shop. As usual, Nicole sat on the chair. Then came a CAT!, sat beside her but on the floor. She quickly jumped down from the chair and came to me, asking me to carry her. I carried her up and repeatedly told her: "You are a dog! You want me to bring you to a psycologist?" The diners at the next table laughed. Daddy said put her down, no gut. I said: "Can't! Later she stress again. And will cost you a few thousand dollars again."

Gar Gar 1st day of Kinderland

4th Jan 2010 - My Julian and Garwyn 1st day of the year but especially for my Gar Gar as it is his official 1st day of school without Mommy! Gar Gar is joining Julian in Kinderland for a half day class.

I was feel with excitment and anxiety. Packed their bags and bought whatever they needed for the big day. Check and check their bag several time to make sure I didn't leave out any important items.

I woke before 7am in the morning to help prepare them for school. After they left with the school transport, I hurried into my car and followed behind to the school.

To my surprise, GaR GaR was not crying when he board the van with gor gor. When I reached the school, he was playing happily in the classroom. But that was not for long and he started to cry for gor gor. Julian was then summoned by the teachers to appease his little brother. He went into the classroom and played blocks with Gar Gar. Gar Gar felt more secured with gor gor around but soon it was the shame shame gor gor started crying so teacher had to bring him back to his class and Gar Gar started to cry...

I went to pick Gar Gar up at 12.30pm.

Intelligence

Today i read an article pasted on the notice board of Shichida school. The subject of this article is about whether intelligence is born or made. I find it really interesting so i stood there to read and ponder about it. Then my maid asked Gar Gar if his intelligence is born or made. Gar Gar replied "home made" and that reply really made me laughed. Nevertheless, it's quite true cos i did put in alot of time and efforts to "home school" them. Gar Gar is always attentive when comes to learning and he is always hungry for books and puzzles. As for Julian, I believe he is born gifted with intelligence but he is a super attention seeker and thus spend most of time catching the attention of others rather to focus on learning. That's what I call attitude problem, so what if he is clever? If his attitude problem persist, he would have wasted his god gift intelligence.

"Gar Gar, it is ok to be home made....dun learn from gor gor ok?"

Our Anniversary

this photo is taken by Julian

It's our 7 + 14 years anniversary. Why 7 + 14? Cos it's 7 years of courtship and 14 years of marriage (24th Nov). Instead of a candle light dinner, I decided that it should be a family occasion so we took the kids to their long awaited excursion - MERLION PARK! and that was how we celebrated our anniversary.

For 21 years together, it resulted in these 2 adorable monsters produced. Life is now complete with them. Our joy and pride...

Sleeping Beauty

I was so so so angry with Gar Gar Tung on 17.11.2009! He woke up basically every hour after 2am. He cried and cried till even Julian woke up and stared at him. Finally Daddy came back at 5am and said he would pat him to sleep but before Gar Gar was asleep, he dosed off as usual. I was so pissed off by this rascal that I finally pull him out of the bed and put him infront a TV and made him sat there to watch TV. Then our helper woke up around 6am and asked me what happened. I instructed her to take care of him and dun let him sleep! My revenge! I went back to sleep.

Finally at 10am, Gar Gar was too tired and fallen asleep. My helper put him back in bed beside me. After all these wakings throughout the night, I finally woke up around 11am and saw him next to me. He was so tired that he was actually drooling in his sleep with his mouth wide open. I carried him up and trying to wake him up. This time, my turn to "tekan" him. No matter how, just couldn't wake him up and I decided to put him in the wagon and lay him in the patio.

Wagon

After so much waiting, our wagon finally shipped to Singapore - in time as a xmas present for the 2! Many thanks to Eric and Martha!

They just fall in love with this 4 wheelers after visiting the zoo!

A A Apple

We were watching TV in the room as usual after dinner when the maid walked into the room to bring in the milk for the night feed later. She sat there with us for a while to watch the korean movie - Host.

Then Gar Gar went over and sat on her lap and said "Aunty, A A Apple." Nothing unusual but look at where he placed his hands. While he kept saying A A Apple, he kept putting his hands on her big breasts.

I guess all men will wish that they can be babies again...

Gar Gar said "NO NEED"

My Gar Gar has officially wean off mommy's "nan nan" at around 21 months old. My breasts finally can retire.

I realised Gar Gar has not been asking for "nan nan" for a few days so one night I lifted up my tee and asked him if he wanted "nan nan". He gave me a serious look and said "no need". I am so glad that I could eat anything and drink beer now! Ha Ha ... but I do feel a sudden loss - I miss those days that Julian and Gar Gar latching on my breasts falling asleep. Nobody can understand that kinda of sleeping unless u are a BF mom too!

The naughty mommy still teases them by bringing my breast near their mouths and seeing them running away with disgusting looks.

P.S: O! sons, so ungrateful! U used to love them so much. Now I must check with Daddy if he still wants it!

Halloween Party

See how these kids have grown? They are ex My Gym classmates since they were 18months old. Now they are past 3. I organised a BBQ on 30th October 2009 to have a gathering with the teachers and parents. Really miss them so much! Too bad! It was raining but we still managed to cook all the food and ate it! Ha Ha...

Just dunno why?! We have a strong bonding with the mommies and teachers of MY GYM!

Lesson on eating Vegetables

Julian does not like eating vegetables like any other kids but I insisted that nobody can be picky with food in my household! I will cut the veggies and mix them in the rice so he can't pick. Nevertheless, he will still give me 1001 excuses not to eat it like he will say I eat veggies in school, I love the veggies in school but not at home. So mommy comes up with funny reasons for him to eat his veggies.

Lesson 1
I told him trees are tall, Giraffe are tall cos trees have leaves on it and giraffe eats lots of leaves. If he doesn't eat veggies like Gar Gar does, he will soon become a dwarf and all his younger cousins and Gar Gar will outgrow him and bully him.

Lesson 2
He always got bitten by mosquito cos he loves sweet stuff I guess. So I told him why we are not bitten by mosquito cos we eat veggies. And as veggies have lots of pesticide and we eat it, we can repel mosquito. So he must eat lots of veggies. (What a way to teach Julian! Ha Ha..)

Silly Julian

My Julian will be performing in his year end concert soon and he needs a pair of black shoes for the performance. Yesterday, I brought Julian to find his black shoes.

We walked into BATA, we couldn't find the black shoes that we wanted cos it's either too expensive or very ugly... but we saw a pair of slippers and Julian likes it very much. He tried on it and paraded one round for mommy. As I know this monster well, he wants everything and later if he sees another pair in another shop, he will ask for it again. So I told the sales lady that we'll walk around and decide later. Then I signalled Julian to go. Julian overheard my conversation with the sales lady and replied, " Ok. So mommy, u want me to walk here or there?" (pointing to the BATA shop, left side or right side). He thought we were going to walk A ROUND in BATA.

PS: Julian, dun act cute hah!

Julian and his magic wand

Julian and Gar Gar love to watch any monsters, dino movies not cartoon but real fantasy movies! They are now very addicted to Harry Potter. Julian always imagine himself as Julian Potter and slaying monsters...

One day, we passed SKP and he insisted me buying him a magic wand. I said NO cos I was sure he would use it to hit Gar Gar, terrorise Nicole and hitting my walls and painting. And Finally the wand will be into pieces. So we started arguing in the shop and he promised me he won't hit Gar Gar, won't hit the walls and my painting, won't hit jie jie and the wand is really for slaying monsters. We argued for so long and since we are having a Halloween Party soon so I decided to buy 1 for him and 1 for Gar Gar. He was so happy and kept thanking me.

On our way home, he kept repeating all those magic spells in Harry Potter's movies like "Expecto Patronum", "Ridiculus", "Aresto Momentum"... then I turned to him while driving and asked which monster he intended to kill with his wand. Guess what was his answer...




"Gar Gar! He is Frankenstein!"
