Finally P&O is out.

After our first visit to the dentist, both my SIL smsed me the contact for child friendly dentist. So since one of the is just opposite our Dr's clinic, I said " hey why not just bring and see what she says". So off we went to Smile Dental.

The kids were greeted with Nickelodeon's cartoons and also a play area. When she called Jayden into the room, she told him that the chair was a spaceship and he can control it if he press a few buttons. He got too excited when she allowed him to press some buttons to see the chairs going up and down.  Then got him up to the chair and began to inspect his teeth.

He kept asking her:

can you change the channel?

can you increase the volume?

yes the kid can watch tele while the dentist check on them.

And then he asked the weirdest question

Can you remove your white gloves? I don't like it O.o

So the dentist checked and said that we can remove the teeth today but with a jab, but looks like JD is not going to cooperate while she jab his gums. So best is to go home and shake the teeth and hopefully one week later it will be better and she can remove it using the numbing gel.

Just to introduce him to dentistry, she said maybe she can polish his teeth and let him feel how is it like to visit the dentist. So she polished his teeth, he giggled and said it's ticklish. He saw the paste she used and asked her "is that strawberry toothpaste?" She said "no. Its bubble gum flavour". "Can you give me strawberry flavour toothpaste?". She said "okay. this is strawberry bubblegum flavour toothpaste". Voila. he sat quitely and she polished his teeth without any fuss.

So its been a week since the last visit and today was the day to remove his so called crocodile teeth.

Can u see the extra teeth sprouting behind? That's the new teeth. The dentist said it's quite shaky but not that shaky. So we need to apply some gel and quickly remove both the teeth, F-A-S-T. She told me "mummy, please harden yr heart". I said "naah... no problem". And she started. 

(do not watch with yr kids. Otherwise you will freak them out!)

1,2,3........10. And he cried so loud and began to tear. It's been so long since I am helpless when any of my babies cried in pain (cos i usually laugh at them and say "i told you!")  But I manage to held back and told him something lah. I forgot what i said edi. You can hear it in the video. hahah

Anyway, the process was fast. And while he was crying I gave him a new train. And quickly he went off to open and play with it. But scream once in a while, while waiting for me to do my filling.

So I took the teeth back and washed it really nice and dried it up. 

And put it into the Baby Tooth I won from Fab Moms & Tots long time ago.

place them exactly to the tooth placement in the mouth 

the album with the plastic container.

His name written on the album

The date that it came off.

Now do you know why the blog post is called P&O??

cos the placement of the teeth was labelled as P & O in this chart.

I'm so proud of him. Spoke to him after we got back from the dentist and he told me it's not painful anymore. But he is scared to eat cos he said "later the food go into the hole how??" So I guess it's gonna take him a few more days before he can settle down.

First Visit To The Dentist

Brought kid No.1 to the dentist cos' 2 of his teeth started to grow inward even before the old one went off. Worried that the new teeth will grow very ugly, I brought him to the dentist to ask for opinion. So as soon as we got to the dentist, JD started to nag and scold me saying that he won't let the dentist touch him or let him remove his teeth. Since we went around 3.30pm, we're the only customer at that time and in no time we're in the dentist's treatment room. He refused to go in, made a whole lot of noise and finally I managed to get him into the room but still, he refused to sit down.

Dentist: Come, JD. Come and sit down. Let Dr see what's wrong with your teeth.
JD: Nothing WRONG LAH! Nothing! No need to SEE!
Me: Aiyoh.. JD please lah. Sit down. Just sit down okay?
JD:HAIYAH!

and he went to sit down and both dentist and myself wanna faint. Why?

He sat like this

With his legs up at the head-rest! He did it cos he was angry and scared at the dentist not because he doesn't know how to sit at the chair. Speaking about being defiant!

The dentist eyes went big and he got a shocked. I think this was his first time seeing someone doing this. he went speechless!

And for me, aiyoyoyoyoyoyo I know that he likes to do this at home and once in post office (and his leg actually accidently hit someone's body and got that person pissed like hell) but I have never expected him to do this at the dentist. MY GOD! Paiseh-ness! I don't know wanna laugh first or to cry first seriously! haha

Immediately I asked him to turn around and sit properly. Reluctantly, he sat and then more headache. Dr asked him to open his mouth, he opened it realllly small. Then he said "bigger please" and he add in probably like few mms. "bigger please..." he opened another few mms. "OPEN YOUR MOUTH REALLY BIG JAYDEN!" that's the "call" to indicate 'you better not play a fool anymore or else mami's gona turn into a monster soon!'. So Dr checked and said yeap, the new teeth is coming out but the old one is still very firm and if we were to remove the old one now, he might be in more pain. So we need to wait for a month of observation, hopefully the teeth will fall off by themselves (and can save money, he!he!) and plus Dr said "Cooperation is very important! but looking at your son's condition, I don't think I can do it. If he is not ready and if we were to continue with this, this will traumatize him and make him scared of dentist".

So then dentist checked on my wisdow tooth and told me that it's better for me to go for the operation and remove it before it do more harm to me. But he kept emphasizing to me that I should not bring my kids with on the day of the surgery. And before leaving his wife/nurse said to me "haha your kids very active. I can imagine how tired you are" and the dentist added "Your kids ..are not only active, they are HYPERACTIVE!".

Well, I get that all the time. ;)

Au Huit (vomit blood) *oek*

So, he said he wanna improve and practice ma. So fine la. I have him some worksheet.

The first day he saw the worksheet and began to whine and said "I don't like this.... Can I not do this? yada yada yada yada yada yada yadaaaaaaa and yadaaaaaaaaa"

I said "fine!" I tore the paper and throw into the rubbish bin.

I said "Now you don't need to do it, ever!" I packed his school bag and his pencil case and put it in a big plastic bag and out it outside my main door. "Now, you don't have to go school at all too".

He cried cried cried and then went upstairs and played ipad. Yipeeee HAPPIIIEEE only!

Mother angry? Sad? What is that? Ipad! HAPPPIEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!

Then I said "get into the car!" And sent him for tuition.  No one said a word. Justin said to me after Jayden went down "mami.. is it because he din't do his homework, you send him to another aunty house?"I just kept quiet.

Then he came back and he played ipad the whole day, I was pissed. I smacked him, and he did some writing. One stroke.. look left. Another stroke , look right. like it took forever for him to write ONE word.

When his dad came back, I went up to bath. I asked him to feed the kids. By then, he finished and asked me to see. But I was just too frustrated with his attitude. He said sorry and said that he will do homework when I ask him to do. But I Just ignored him. After that, I got dressed and took titi along with me and drove off. Justin asked again "So :) where are we going? Tropicana? Giant (Jaya) Grocer?" I said "I don't know. I am very sad. I just need to drive somewhere (and find food for dinner). So I went to my parents and bought Mcd for dinner. By the time I got home, he was happily playing ipad , looked at me and gave me the look "oh, great. you're still around. Oh well... continue to play ipad".

Who says SAHMS got no pressure? No Deadline? I felt like as if my DEADLINE is so damn near. I went to bed with a sleeping pill and woke up middle of the night. Every night also the same case. I just cannot sleep thinking about how rebellious this dude has become. I admit, that I am extremely strict with him because Justin really look upon him as his IDOL *with stars and glitter on the head*. And whatever kor kor say, it's true and right. And since he has set his standard so high, if he misbehave a bit I will tend to get very upset. So for him to act so rebelliously last night is really a killer for me. Imagine if you were to offer him an ice cream, he'd turn to me and ask me first "can I eat ice cream?" If I were to say NO, he wouldn't even touch the ice cream. He is THAT good. So sigh... My heart is broken. I am so lost.

So morning came, i woke him up and got down to prepare his lunch box. He said sorry to me in the morning but I just don't feel like talking to him. Sent him to school without a word. He tried to hold my hand in school but I brushed him off. I am THAT disappointed with him.

Then I went to pick him up and he ran out from the house and wanted to hug me. But I stopped him. And he held back. Evil? I can be when I am too angry. Came back and what else? Ipad lah. I waited and waited to see whether he remember what he said last night about doing homework. Nope. Ipad HAPPIEEE only. tik tok tik tok 2,3,4,5,6 pm. I said to him , do you know it's 6 o clock now. And you are still wearing your sch uniform? He quickly went and change. Then continue to play ipad again. I said sometimes i felt like taking a hammer and hammer the ipad into tiny pieces. He stopped playing and followed me to the kitchen. As i was cooking, I told him "your homework is on my bed" And he just stare at me , point blank. I said "when I knock the wall, at least the wall will reply with TUK TUK sound. You? worst than talking to a wall". And he quickly go up and took the book down and began to write.

I was collecting and folding laundry when he came out. "I am done. Can I love you again?"

I said "If you do one more page nicely then maybe you can love me again"

He went back in and wrote another page. "Done! Can I play ipad?"

Sigh.

I said "fine. This is the deal. If you write one page homework, you can play 10 mins. Now you wrote 2 pages, you can play 20 mins" And i set the timer on my iphone.

I waited and waited.. "eh.. how come so long still 19 mins geh?"

Then I saw 19:26:55. Damn. I set 20hours instead of 20 mins. *slap forehead* Manyak bodoh! Sigh.. this is the effect of no proper sleep for days.

So, now here's the deal. One page homework = 10 mins ipad games. How long can we last? I really don't know. But these few days, I really vomit blood.

Understanding why he dislike being no5. *updated*

So he cried and cried and cried so much. Everytime someone asked, he will cry. Then my mum asked and he cried. Then bawl and insisted that I give him a report card with no.1. I said "NO! You must learn to accept the fact that you got no5 in class. No one is going to make a new report card for you and no one can change the position for you. If you wanna get no.1, you must work harder, practice your chinese writing and when exam comes, show what you can do and get no.1 yourself"

UWA UWA WA.

My mum hugged him, "it's okay... it's okay. No need number 1."

My dad went and hugged him "It's okay ah den. No need to get no.1. Ah kong sayang ah...."

His dad scolded me "you put it up on the blog for the whole world to see and then everyone will ask him and make him even more sad!"

I snapped back in tears "You didn't read what I wrote and you're saying this to me? I wrote because I think that it's a milestone for me as a mother and I have no place to voice it out. Would you understand how I feel as a mother? I just wanna write and get it out from me. You think I am not sad to see our son like this?"

Nobody was happy that day.My hub asked me to drive back from my parents' that night and he hugged JD all the way back and kept telling him "dadi love you, dadi love you. You are very clever boy".

When we got home, I asked everyone to leave me and JD alone in the kitchen. I took out his report card and his exam papers.

Me: what number did you get?
JD: *show one finger.. and then 5 fingers*
Me: What number do you think is the last number in class?
JD: 5? (he thought no5 is last in class)
Me: okay let me show you *show him his report card* You see , last semester you are 1st over 16 student. Do you know what it means?
JD: I get no.1
Me: yes. you got no.1 but out of 16 students. And then new girl came, so 16 plus 1 equals?
JD: 17!
Me: yeap.. and this round you are 5th out of 17 students. No5 is here.. *put hand high* and 17 is here *put another hand very very very low* and no1 is here *put hand slightly above 5* you see?
JD: *smile* yes!
Me: so, no5 is not very far from no1 right?
JD: yes!
Me: but 17 is very far from no5. right?
JD: yes! *happy face*
Me: So... how did you end up at no.5? let me show you okay?

So I took out his BM, Eng and Math paper. Showed him all the "tick" marks on the paper. And showed him 100% and linked to the report card.

Me: so you see, when you get 100% here, teacher will write 100% here. and your chinese.. you see you have a mistake here, your stroke is slightly too high. And here you forgot to circle, but you already colour so you missed 9 points. 100 minus 9 equals?
JD: *count count and lost count*
Me: 91% and teacher wrote here in your report book.
JD: *nod nod*
Me: So teacher never simply write you get no5 not because she doesn't like you. Its because you never collect full points for your exam. Just like playing ipad games, when you missed some "stars" or "ducks" then you won't get EXCELLENT or 3/3 ducks right? And then they will write congratulations, you are 3rd! So when you never answer correctly, then you loose some "stars" or some "ducks" and then you get lower marks lor. So maybe LST got no mistake, so he got no1. Or R answered one wrong then she got no2. And maybe C answered 2 wrongs so she get no3. And because you answer few wrongs so you get no5 lah.
JD: who got no17?
Me: I dunno wor... I also dunno who got no1,2,3,4. I only know who got no 5. You know who?
JD: ME!
Me: Yes! 5 out of 17 people. And you know you collected FULL points for these 3 papers except this one. So you're very good edi. You know?
JD: okay.
Me: 100% for 3 papers out of 4 papers. That's very very good edi. I told you, I don't care if you get no1 or not. I only want a good boy.
JD: yes yes.
Me: So let me ask you. If between No.1 and mami, which one would you choose?
JD: You.
Me: yeah. Same like me. Between no1 and you, without a doubt, I WILL CHOOSE YOU. Cos you're the most important thing to me. And not No.1. Understand?
JD: *big smile*
Me: so now, go and tell you dadi what number you get in class.
JD: *ran up* dadi dadi I got no5 out of 17 people in my class!
Dadi: Clever Boy!

And so after hearing why he dislike being no5, I found out he thought that no5 is the last number in class.
And he doesn't get how come teacher gave him No.5 instead of No.1. His fav train is No.1 so he thought he must be forever no.1 engine.
He doesn't know how the point system works, ie exam paper reflects his result in report book.

And after explaining to him, he is happier and kinda accepted the fact that he is no5 and he must work harder to improve his chinese. So the next day i tried and see his reaction again.

Me: Jayden, what number did you get in class?
JD: *show one finger*
Me: *angry*
JD: *show 5 fingers*
Me: Yes. No 5
JD: Can you make one report card and put no1 for me? *grin*
Me: *slap forehead*

Disappointed Him

Today we went to school for parent's teacher meeting and also to take JD's report book. He asked me "mami, am I going to get no.1 again?". Knowing that he might not get no1 again, I told him "it's okay if you didn't get no.1 this time babe". He replied "No. I want to get no.1".

So as we entered the classroom, the teacher asked us to sit down and opened his file for us to see. From far, I can see his position in class. My heart sank. I know my boy will be disappointed.

"Jayden Chan, you get no.5"

Disbelief, he turned to me and looked at my face and said "Mami, what number did I get?"

I said "no. 5 babe. 5 out of 17".

His eyes went big, then became really small and he said "....no..........No........NO................"

His results were 100% for Maths, English and BM. And 91% for chinese. 4 mistakes.

Teacher said "Jayden Chan, don't be sad. You are very clever you know? You got 3 100% and only did a few mistake in Chinese paper. You are considered very good already compared to others"

He hugged me and said "mami.. i don't want to get no5. I need to be no.1. Can you give me no1?"

"babe, you're no.1 in my heart. okay?" I said. 

Crying and smiling at the same time, he nodded. Then he turned and saw his teacher, he cried again and said "can you give me no1?"

I said "okay, I will go home and use a blue colour paper (cos his fav colour is blue) and I will write 'Jayden Chan No.1' for you okay?"

Dadi said "Jayden boy. You're dadi's no1 boy okay? It's okay if you didn't get no.1. At least you tried."

Teacher also told him that she will make a report card for him and write no1 for him. Then only he stopped crying. *wipe sweat*

To be honest, I know that he won't maintain his position in class this time. Because I know some of the parents really revised and brushed the kids up for this exam. And also JD is lack of discipline and refused to practice chinese writing. Always dily-daly when I asked him to do practice and it really pisses me off.  So I thought, well let him have it his own way. Let him try to go for this exam without practicing and then he won't get no.1 and he will know that he needs to practice and study more in order to get higher marks. The day came and true enough, it happened. He is sad, I am sad. But this ought to teach him that he need to listen to me when I asked him to practice writing so that he will improve and not because I want him to practice for the sake of making him busy.

Kids, gotto let them learn the hard way.

Tough love.

Bullied - The Pencil Case

Ai.....the last time I blogged about JD got bullied in school, things got better. I checked his pencil case yesterday and I saw he had 2 pencils and one mechanical pencil that his dad bought for him. This morning i checked again, he has only ONE short pencil in his pencil case. I asked him what happened to the other 2 pencils and he said "someone" took it. I said "Nevermind, next time just bring one pencil and don't bring anymore expensive pencils to school". 

When I got into his class, I just briefly asked the teacher that if she happens to see JD pencils around. Immediately she asked everyone to take out their pencil case and she went and dug everyone's bag to find it for me. Everyone took out the pencil case and to my surprise a few of them has really nice, long, perfectly sharpened pencils. Some even had like 5 pencils in the pencil case. Of course, we didn't find the pencils and so I said "it's okay lah". What to do right?

Then teacher asked everyone to write their name on the paper that she had just distributed and guess what? 2 boys ran from another table, came to my son's table (he shared table with another boy and girl) and snatched the other boy's pencils (2 pencils) and gave him a broken pencil. They went back to their own table and began to write their name. I saw the incident cos I was standing right in front of them. So I confronted the 2 boys "Why did you take JC's pencil? You have so many long and sharpened pencils (yes, he is the one with 5 nice pencils) in your pencil case". He replied "Cos I don't wanna use my own pencil". I said "No. Use your own. Give it back to JC". He said "Nope!" and continued to write his name. Angry or not you say????? I said to the boy "JC, go ask them to return your pencil. Don't let them bully you". He just stood there with his broken pencil and wanted to cry.

Damn sad i-tell-yiu! So I told the teacher and she immediately asked them to return the pencil to him and use their own pencil to write. I told her about the kids using JD's colour pencil and asking him to go and sharpen it for them. I told her , "I checked this morning and his yellow colour was this short!"

Seriously!

and their colour pencil are nicely arranged and sharpened in their own bag. How can? I mean not to say I'm being petty about things like this, but it's just not right. You know what I mean ah?

So teacher said to JD" JD Chan, next time they use your pencil and colour pencil, please come and tell me okay?" The other boy just looked down and kept quiet. Kesian! So I told him "JC, don't be scared okay. If they take your things next time just go and tell Teacher C. She will help you". He nodded and I can see tears in his eyes.

I thought to myself while driving back. If I wasn't there to witness it, then he would be bullied for don't know how long. And the mom has no idea about it cos I am so sure he is not gonna tell anyway. Cos no one told him its wrong. He just thought "okay...............i got one broken pencil.......sharpen it.......get to work..". And the other 2 kids, I am sure the parents don't know about it. But how come they never question why the pencils are always the same length and its perfectly sharpened all the time. 

Make me thought some more , how many parent actually know what is happening to their kids in school. Are they the one that bullied or the one that got bullied?

TOUGH WEEK

I can say, it's been a hell of a week.

First it was Justin being diagnosed with Hernia. No. Not the big Swollen Kukujiao Type. Its this type.

So brought him all the way to the hosp and arranged for the surgery. And on the day I brought him to make appointment, Jayden was down with flu and cough. So big possibility Justin can't go for the op if he is infected. So then on the day of the op, he was alright. I didn't sleep properly cos I had to wake up at 4 am to feed him milk before he need to fast for 4 hours before the surgery. So I tried to sleep but end up waiting for my alarm to go on. And then by 7 am we're at the hosp. And right in front of the nurse, the kiddo sneezed ACHOOOOOOO! That's it. Operation cancelled cos they suspected that he is infected with flu. Rescheduled 2 weeks later. So in between then, I gotto make sure that they recover fast while rushing with my own design and sewing jobs.  And of course, since the "king" is scheduled for op, we can't make him cry much. Cos each time he cries the hernia became so visible. So gotto "tahan/YAN" max with this terrible 2 behaviour.

On the day before the operation, I had diarrhea. Don't know what crap I ate that made me lausai the whole day. Then it was THE day of the ops. All is well. NO ONE IS COUGHING and NO ONE is SNEEZING. YAY! YAY MAX! So yeah he went and did the operation (story another day can? very tired and need to rant first)

So before that ,on the day of operation I didn't sleep again. I thought i heard my phone rang at 2 am but I was just hallucinating. Then my phone rang at 4 am. And then by 645am we're there even before the nurse came to work. And I was with him all the time (except when they potong him). I was so tired, mentally and physically. Ppl asked why didn't you sleep, why you never rest. Why why why why? Did i say I never tried? It's just the mind is worried.

So potong-ed on friday. And that day itself he was discharged and everyone happily went home. I slept like a BABY that night. Don't say sleep. Pangsai also like happier. And then Jayden started to cough. Damn. I hate it when he cough cos he'll get all phlegmy and then start to wheeze and then fever and la la la la the story goes on.  And then he started to cough badly, then like how I expected, he became wheezy and was extremely cranky.

Bad timing. Aunt flo came but I think she had difficulty in landing. So like tersekat sekat cannot come out. So mom was extremely cranky too. You don't wanna mess with a mum with aunt flo got stucked half way and not coming properly!!!!

So while bathing Jayden last night, he was brushing his teeth. And before that, I washed justin poopy bum and accidentally left a lump on the floor.(yeah, faster point and say what kind of mother are you! How can that happen! :P)  Guess what ? Jayden just had to go and use his toothbrush (should i highlight that its a thomas toothbrush?) and press onto the shit. ARGH!!!!!!!EWWWWWWWWWWW!!!!!OUMAIKOT!!!! was the thing that came out from my mouth. Really EXPLODE like mad. Scold. Scold.Scold.and scold samo!

Then at night his condition got worse. The entire day he was on liquid. Whatever that he eat, end up being vomited after each cough.  So again, at night after his milk he vomited. And then he went to sleep and he was breathing very heavily and was crying the entire night. Of course, I didn't sleep. (again) . And then this morning first thing was change everyone and went to the hosp. The dr checked very thoroughly and even compared him and justin's body structure. So she said put him on this and that and asked me to come back on wed. I was thinking.. Aiyoh.. tomorrow already gotto come back for Justin's dressing for his hernia, wednesday come back again???? I can walk around this hosp with my eyes closed edi!  So I told her can we come back tomorrow instead? and she agreed. So tomorrow morning will be a busy day for me cos I need to bring justin to check his stitches and then also bring jayden to see another dr to check his lungs.

Today after we got back from the hosp, I checked email and my customer replied. Work resume before my body T-KO which I know is SOON, very SOON! So i checked my design OH DAMN! I did the wrong design because I referred to the wrong design. I was so stressed the week before I referred to the wrong design. *slap forehead*

And at this moment, Jayden came  down with his nose-bleeding. "Mami mami, my nose bleeding". I said "when did it started?"  he said "after I drink the cough medicine! " he replied happily. I said "OUMAIKOT!!!!!! WHAT COUGH MEDICINE!!!!!!!" He said "WOODS!"
I screamed "ARE YOU CRAZY I told you not to drink any medicine yourself. I JUST GAVE YOU your medicine just now!!!!" and ran up to check the bottle.

True enough, the bottle is nearly empty. I quickly called Big C and he rushed back. Asked and asked him , how much you drink? how you drink? why you drink? and he just smiled and smile. *PULL HAIR*  Then both of us calmed down asked again and asked him to demonstrate how much he drank and all, then we know he took 3 times more his dosage. But so far he is okay, never knock out or acting like gila.

Sometimes I wonder.. am I the only one with so drama motherhood story. Anyway, I just pray for everything to go on very s-m-o-o-t-h-l-y. Tomorrow after Justin's stitches being checked by dr and when Jayden recovers from his coughing, everything will be better. Right? I REALLY HOPE SO! if not I'll go mental.

But don't get me wrong. I am not unhappy being a mom. Seriously. Even though I have gone through so many dramatic incidents, I am happy. I may be tired physically and mentally, I may be complaining about my kids making me pull hair but seriously I am very happy with my boys (big and small ones). It's just everything happened at the same time and I have too much on my plate. That's why I dropped some off like my sewing and also my design to concentrate on my kids. Otherwise sure KO and masuk Tj. Rambutan

My kids are normally very active but then they are most of the time sweeter than choc. (That explains why I don't eat choc!) It's just because everything happened at the same time. Like how I started with this post... it's a tough week.  Just hope tomorrow will be like Yenjai's sms to me.. tomorrow will be a better day, literally. *fingers crossed*

Enoki

This happened during CNY. We had steamboat on the eve of cny and of course one of the fav ingredient is Enoki.

On the first day of cny, Jayden said he wanna poop. So usually he will go and poop himself and will scream call out for me to wash his bum. That day, I waited rather long and so I decided to check on him. I saw him swaying his bum at the toilet seat, front , back, left and right. I said "Halo! What are you doing? Dancing on the toilet bowl?" he said "No. It's stucked. I cannot get it out"

So I checked and Ewwwwwwwwww ENOKI got stucked!!!

How???

PULL LAH! How!

Pengsan to the maxxx!!!!!

And the worst part is, its very slippery and I wanna OEK OEK cos got shit stucked to it mah.

So pulled and terlepas, pull samo, come out abit more. At the end, finally I got it out.

Both mother and kid also sweating edi. hahahahhaahaha

So Jayden asked "what is that Mami?"

I quickly remembered that I always told him not to put his fingers or toys into his mouth. Otherwise he will have germs going into his stomach and will get tummy ache.

So I said "neh, worm la. Cos you always like to put finger in your mouth. So the worm from small small become so big. Luckily came out. So next time you wanna put fingers in your mouth or not?"

He said "eeee don't want". And up till today, for 2 weeks I never see him putting his finger into his mouth.

Yay! Another lie that will bring me closer to hell. But its okay that I'm going there, as long as my kids turn out to be good guys.

Okay so back to Enoki. So the moral of the story is :
1. Do not feed your kid Enoki
2. if you wanna feed, please cut short short so you don't have to pull it *oek oek* like me.

Sekian terima kasih.

I won! I won!

Muahahaha These 2 months been great, cos I finally won not only one, but TWO (see it big big here babeh, T-W-O!) things.


Initially I won 1 DVD but the dvd was returned back to the company. So they resent again and added one more for me. Muahahhaha So at the end I have 2 DVDs! You say, lucky or not?

And I thought that was going to be the only thing I will ever win, and then one Sunday I received an sms from Lilhyppo's Mum and she told me that I just won the Baby Tooth Organizer!

Woot! Luck, please keep coming. I really need it!

Thanks to Parent Reviewers and Also FAB Mom & Tots for the opportunity and prizes.

Really cheered me up when I was down and gave me hope that ANYTHING IS POSSIBLE :)

Lazy Mum

He doesn't want to be fed and he can't eat without messing up. So, this is what I did..

Using my food cover as the bakul to collect the fallen rice/vege/whatever. Yeah only work for dry food though.

Omg..so scarry!

Was in centrepoint just now. Jayden went for his class and I thought "hey why not give myself a treat while he is in class?". So I went for pedicure. While doing my pedicure, I continued to design with my macbook on my lap.

I was the only customer with the boss and also a staff. So we're chatting and chatting about so many things. And then we went to this topic about missing kids. First we mentioned about Nur1n and then N1sha. We said "aiyah this one missing for so long edi.. hard to find la"

and guess what happened?

PIAKKK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

one of the glass on the floor suddenly shattered-Broken-in-to-pieces!

And all of us just went .............................

And then no one said anything.

I continued to design.

The sitaupor continued to eat.

and the staff who was sitting next to the shattered glass continued to colour my nail.

Then I said very softly.."Hou cher hor........" (very freaky)

and the sitaupor said "hai lor....."(yeah) actually what happened? How it got broken?"

And the staff said " I dunno. Suddenly just pecah"

And no one moved an inch.

I said "okay.. don't talk about that anymore. Maybe someone don't like the topic"

and the sitaupor said "yeah....this NEVER happen before"

and all shivered. I started to rub my body cos my hair were standing already.

it's just too scarry cos nuthing happened until we talked about that topic. Seriously......*hair standing*

The crazy mum and her kids.

The other day in IKEA, there were this woman with her 2 kids. The younger one was in the stroller and the older one was walking and helping his mom carrying some light stuff. So walk walk walk suddenly the older kid made a U-turn and walk the other way.

The mom realized and quickly made a U-turn with her stroller, raised her voice and called out the kid's name.

First time called, the son walk faster away from his mom thinking his mom was at the other side.

2nd time called, he began to run. Panicked and shouted Mami Mami! The mom also began to run with her stroller. The small kid yelled Kor Kor! Kor Kor!Come Back!

Then 3rd time she screamed her kid's name thinking that her son will stop and go back to her. Nope, he RAN extremely fast shouting MAMI MAMI! and began to sob .

So obviously the entire Ikea was like looking at them.

The mum then remembered and said "JAYDEN! STOP and TURN BACK! I AM RIGHT BEHIND U!

Wah..... you should see the ppl's reaction in that plant section. Everyone stepped to the side and left the mom with the stroller and her kids left in the middle section.

True enough the kid stopped and U-turn and ran back to the mum.

The mum asked the kid "Eh why u run the other way ah ? walk walk next to me suddenly turn and run the other side?"

The son just :P and scratched his head with confusion. He got no idea why he did that too.

So like that la.. the story of the crazy shouting mum with the stroller and 2 kids in Ikea.

So, what happened after that?

Continuation from the previous post. Last night after posting it in my blog and calling SJMC. I sent the pictures to Malay Mail.

So I took my medicine and finally dozed off until I got a call at 11.30pm last night. It was a call from the hospital apologizing and asking me to go to their office to further discuss about the issue. I said "Okay, I will call tomorrow and ask them to drop the article". And she said cannot wait because they are going to print it out and publish it by 5am the next day.

Pleasee....Pleaseeee she said. I said Okay. You go call them and tell to drop it. And then Malay Mail called me again and told me that its already getting ready to be printed out. And what matters most is, "If it already happened, it happened. Its public awareness. Everyone deserve and have the right to know".

True.

So I told him to call the hospital and tell them they can't drop it from being published.

So I thought I can sleep properly after my doze of inhaler. I managed to breath better but I couldn't sleep. And then finally I slept and guess what? The whole night I was dreaming about the woman that called me asking me to help her. :| 

So today Big C sent this to me.

It was written that I haven't drink the drink. Nope. I nearly finished it.

Let me clarify with you guys again. The drink was being sold in this kiosk together with sandwiches, porridge, kuihs and fried stuff. And the lady that sold me the drink took the cup from the table and the MILO is from a table dispenser. Not a vending Machine.

I know there are many people who likes to find this kinda way to make money out of it and I hate them.  I used to work in beverage company and I know some people likes to try and make money the fast and easy way. If not get money, they want free drink for a long time. Once, a man even claimed that there's a spectacle arm in the drink.Another said he purchased 12 bottle of 1.5L ice cream soda drink. After the 10th bottle he said he felt that the drink doesn't taste like ice cream soda. And he want money or free ice cream soda drink forever. Halo? You know companies invest alot of money to do research and have quality control on the products eh? 

So you think I am those kind of people? Please. I have my two hands, two legs, 2 perfect eyes. I can work and find my own money and don't agree to this kinda doing.

Anyway back to my case. I don't know what is going to happen next. And I am not bothered to go and further discuss about it. It happened already. And for now I am still okay. Can shout, Can scold And can Blog but short of breath only. But if in the future if they suddenly find cockroach living in my stomach then its different case edi.

Note for DaddyKhong: It tasted abit crunchy. When I bit on the baby cockroach it went PIAKKKKKK but since it was covered with MILO I cannot describe how exactly it tasted like. Maybe you want to taste it for me? Courier to you okay? :)

I am now officially SICKER!

I went to SJMC today to meet up with a chest specialist and was given steroid inhaler to help with my breathing difficulty. So there goes my RM290 for just that 15mins consultation. Well, some money cannot NOT spend. I don't wanna die early. I wanna wait until i get irritated by my own grandkids then only I wanna say bye bye.

Then I though okay since I'm thirsty better get a drink. So I went and bought a cup of MILO and a sandwich from this snack stand near the receptionist. I took a sip. It was too hot.

So I thought wait for a while. I went and got into my car. I took another sip.

And another sip.

And another sip.

And I reached home. And I drank more. This is the drink.


And then I felt something in my mouth.

I spat it onto my finger and thought " What the heck. How come got green bean in MILO?"

And then I recall, they DON'T HAVE ANY GREEN BEAN DESSERT ON SALE. So what the Fark is that thing.

I looked closer.

Mahfulat.



Cockroach egg! ARGH!!!! And the BABIES URGHHH!!!!


I took a look inside and I saw one wing and one leg. Don't ask me where is the rest. Probably in the drink bought by the pregnant lady before me.

Aiyoh, before I'm cure, I AM NOW OFFICIALLY SICKER than before. The thought of me biting the egg PIAKKKKKKKKK and samo I can use my tongue and push it out and spit onto my finger really gives me the *shiver*.

And they tell me hospital supposed to be a very clean place. So if you see me M.I.A for a very long time, you know what happen to me.

It's good to feel "Wanted"

Yeap. Who doesn't like to be loved eh?

The other day, my maid was cooking downstairs while I was trying to finish up my work. Justin was crying so I carried him and place him onto my lap and I continued to work. Can work ah? Of course cannot. He was trying to pull the keyboard.But still i tried to work with one available hand.

Then Jayden started to whine. "I want to sit! I want to sit!" Insisted to sit on my lap too. How to handle 2 on my lap? How to continue to work. I said "NO".

So Jayden came and wanted to climb onto my lap.

Justin pushed him away and started to pull his hair.

Jayden cried. "NO! I want to sit! IT'S MINE!!!!"

Justin scream and pulled his brother's hair harder.

Jayden screamed.

Justin screamed.

And I screamed.

*sigh*

and so no work being done.

only got 3 screaming human. One mental mother + One wiggly kiddo that knows how to pull hair and suck thumb (sometimes suck toes) + one more boy that calls himself "Superman pocoyo"

What I can say is...it's good to feel "wanted" but not this way eh?

Buffet in my house

And its not for human.

It's for the termites in my house. See? My new flooring from Innovar.

Nice?

If your contractor comes and tell you that they treated the house with termite thinggy, please don't be so naive like "someone" and believe it. Especially when you cut and cut and cut the price.

One thing about Melamine flooring, yes its treated with termite solution ka you call it? But not the skirting eh? So they will attack the skirting of this melamine flooring.And because they will lay some foam in between the orginal flooring and the melamine floor, it gives the termite the opportunity to travel and wallop the entire house. What I just found out is that, they won't only wallop on one side. They wallop few places in the house at one go and when they finish the house they will meet and say HELLO!!! finish MAKAN! jom blah!

I didn't sleep in my own room for (very long time) cos I am accompanying Jayden to sleep in his own room. That day, I went and opened the window and I saw some dust on the floor. Then I went nearer and saw the entire skirting warpped. Then I got down and put my ears nearer and I heard some noise. And I tried to knock on the skirting..MY GOD! Only the top layer is attached and it was totally empty inside.

another view...


So here you go. Barely 4 months and one side all gone. The man said, wait for somemore dust to come out and we'll see where the rest are having thier buffet.

EMERGENCY!

I really looked forward for school holidays so that I can train Jayden to be diaperless (and also so that i can wake up late :P). Since he only attend sch in the morning and comes home at 1130am, it's very hard for me to train him to go diaperless cos once he is at home he will eat his lunch, bath and straight to sleep with diaper on so that he can sleep longer. So since its sch hols, it means that I will see him 24 hours and it will be easier for me to train him.

Both me and my niece keep asking him "Jayden do you want to go shee shee?" like every 10 to 15 minutes. Sometimes he would tell us "I want go shee shee!" and wait for us to run with him to the toilet (cos when he says he need to go means HE REALLY NEED TO GO IMMEDIATELY!) or he'll run to the toilet and pee on the floor with his pants on :S

So tik tok tik tok and finally he can tell us without fail he needs to go to the loo but it must be an immediate thinggy. He still doesn't know how to "tahan" his urine. So that day (forgot when) we decided to bring him to Tesco without any diapers on ( darn confident!) Before leaving our house, we brought him to the toilet and also made him pee in the potty in the car before going into Tesco. So we though we're so safe.

Nope.

While shopping in the ketchup aisle, suddenly he said "I WANT SHEE SHEE!"

Oh man.. I was so damn worried. HOW? HOW????

HOW???

EMERGENCY!!!!

HOW???

Options:
1. Let him pee in his pants and change his pants.
2. Grab him and run to the fish section and let him pee in the sink. (No Way!!)

Nope didn't do both. I did option 3.

I quickly grab the plastic bag that Jayden was holding and quickly pulled him to one side and pulled his pants down. (And... I was carrying Justin in my arms. Where was Big C? He was standing right behind Jayden and stood there looking at us. He said the day before, we're laughing at this maid using a coke bottle for the boy to pee and today we kena.. so he said he was blank and couldn't think of anything!) I gotto do everything with one available hand!

Yes.. so Jayden peed in the plastic bag with his head down.

And make it worst passerby went like "HEY GOOD IDEA! Eh you see they used plastic bag to ....blablabla"

And Jayden? He was so so so shy keep puting his head down.

I know.. very very malufying moment for all of us. but.... but its emergency! No toilet nearby and definitely cannot make it on time to the toilet downstairs.....

So what happened after that was.. now he would tell us in advance that he needs to go to the toilet and he can even "tahan" his poo or pee if we're in the car. So maybe the malufying moment did taught him how to tell earlier and also "tahan" himself. And of course, I learnt my lesson too - don't laugh at people if they use coke bottle for the kiddo to pee. Karma ah.....

How IT happened...

It's been a week since I gave birth. Although I'm super lazy, I think I better jot it down before I forget.

So on Tuesday night, we went to makan dinner in SS2 with my sister. I jokingly told Jayden " Follow Boh Boh home la. Tonight mamimi wanna go and give birth" and my lil boy walked towards my sister. Then my sister went home and we did our usual stuff. Jayden was watching his tele, hub was using his laptop and I was walking around nesting like a bee. Bzzzzzzzzzz then suddenly I told my husband, " I think we better take a pic of my tummy...." And so we snapped

With Jayden, my tummy was 38inches and weight 72.4kgs. With Justin, my tummy was 40inches and I weight around 69.5kgs.

Right after that, I continued my nesting in CL's/BB's room and suddenly I felt like I was having period and I have a look down there and I saw blood. I asked Big C to confirm for me and then I called my doctor immediately. She asked me to head to the hospital to confirm.

I called my sis to come over and pick J up. We packed HIS bag, lotsa snacks, lotsa dvds/vcds, toys and blablabla and waited for my sis to come. He was all jolly and happy to see my sis + her hub and willingly went into the car and jumped up and down in the car.

Big C changed into the same T-shirt he wore when I delivered Jayden. It was a Nike T shirt I bought for him written "NEVER SURRENDER". *lol* After that we took a very SLOW drive to the hospital. I guess we just wanted some final-Alone time together before we multiply to 4. Haha So as soon as we got there, I got changed and positioned for dilation check. Ouch... very very PAIN! And I was told that I am only 1cm dilated.

My doc came not long after, she did another check (ouch!!!) and found that I'm 4 cm dilated and my water already broke, but I have totally no IDEA that its broken also! However, Baby's head is not pressing on the opening. So gotto wait for baby to go down and dilate more before we can do the actual work.

Contraction came (Yes, now i know how it feels like, pain like how Pearly said it "so pain holy sugar , you just so pain you even forgot your mama". Yeap that's how I felt but I insisted not to have epidural. Want to be champion ma....But Big C kept asking me to take it. And I finally took it at 4.30am.

After that, I had a short nap and woke up with itchiness(side effect of epi) all around my body except my waist down. My right leg totally went coma. Other part is about 95% numb.Big C was sleeping and I entertained myself and had a good laugh in the delivery ward.


Doctor came and checked me again. Woot! Not painful at all cos of the epidural,and she told me that if baby's head is not going down, I gotto go through C-sec.After that I asked Big C to come and talk to my tummy, asked baby Justin to go down so can come out soon and mamimi no need to go through c-sec. I spoke to baby too, asking himto go to the light (err cos the ahem opened up. So i supposed can see a little bit of light?) And then after waiting for a while, I told my husband that i sense something. Weird, since I'm on epidural I'm not supposed to feel anything down there. My gut feeling told myself that baby went down and I'm fully dilated. Big C went and told the nurses to check on me but they said doctor asked them to wait. Luckily doctor came not long after that, she checked me and said that I'm fully dilated and she started to wear apron and gloves and told me "MW (my chinese name), we gotto start pushing okay?".

And I pushed and pushed for 1 hour plus. err actually I dunno whether I am pushing or not but since the doctor and nurses said that I'm doing fine and I'm doing the right thing, so I made the same facial expression :P

Many times, we made jokes and laughed loudly. The nurses laughed and said that they have not seen anyone that can actually give birth and joke at the same time. I kept laughing about my "dead" leg.You won't believe it, while delivering, phone call came in and I can answer the phone call! Haha Since my gynea is a woman, and the nurses are women too, all of them shouted with excitement (you know how noisy it is when a bunch of women get together la..), kept calling my name and that actually reminded me not to pass out cos I was almost out of breath.

Finally, Justin came. He was placed onto my chest. He was very clean (probably I drank lots of coconut juice) and I cried in excitement (like a mad woman). Placenta came out as soon as Justin got out. Just in time. Otherwise Justin will be suffocating inside there without oxygen supply.

As soon as my dr saw him, she said "Aiyoh, exactly like kor kor! and he weight like what we expected around 3.2kg (Justin was 3.12kg)

We spent 2 hours in the delivery ward while I breastfed Justin. He was sucking hard the moment I placed him onto my breast with his eyes opened wide. My doctor called him the "Good Sucker". *lol* And that's my birth story and yeap, I have experienced all 3, show, water bag burst and also contraction. I hope I didn't missed out anything. Let me rest for a while and blog about "When Big J meet Small J" in my next post ya?

A very proud and obviously sleepy dadidi...

Reflection of the parent.

Read about mott's post about her kids resembling her. Let me share with you a personal experience happened a few days ago.

I brought Jayden to meet up with my sis and BIL in Ikea for dinner. Before my sis came, I accompanied Jayden to the play/tv area right in the middle of the restaurant. Being not so mobile anymore, I sat on the small chair while watching over Jayden playing happily with another boy. Suddenly, I felt like someone was pulling my chair and I looked over. It was a boy (probably around 5 years old) trying to pull my chair, with me sitting on it. So I thought he was collecting all the pink chairs and I gave it to him and sat on a blue chair. And he came again, pulling the chair away. So I gave him a killer stare and asked him "What do you want?". He just stared at me and gave me the look like he was saying "get off fatso!" and then I saw my sis walking towards me so I gave the chair to him. He snatched it and ran away.

So I went and bought dinner for us and while I was walking back to the play area, I saw my sis scolding someone. And As I walked nearer, a man carrying the boy that played with Jayden earlier walked towards my sis and asked my sister "Is this your son?" (pointing to Jayden who was still busy playing despite all the commotion). My sister said "No this is my sister's son (pointing at me). He then said "If you're unhappy about my son, you don't have to shout. You can COME and tell it to me".

My sister then said "first your son (the one that pulled my chair earlier) pulled the chair and made him fell down. Then he went and whack that baby's face (pointing at another 8 months old baby with his mom holding on to him with the very terrified face), and then he came and slap my nephew with both his hands like this (showing karate chop action). Your maid just ran away when that happened and I just asked him "where is your father". 

The man continued and insisted that my sis shouldn't shout and asked him sis to go to him personally and tell him. He said "Oh I already scolded my maid". No. He NEVER said sorry to us.

Looking at all the commotion, I just went and scoop Jayden away and ask my sis to walk off. No point talking to a big bully like that. It was a play area and not only one pair of eyes saw what the kid and the father did. In fact,many people saw and know what happened.

Of course, my sis was super pissed with the father and the kid. I (at that time) got no reaction. All I was thinking was, as long as J is fine, unhurt and not the gila one running around grabbing chairs and whacking people - I'm happy and I wanna eat my dinner, let Jayden enjoy his dinner, go home to take a nice hot bath and sleep like a log."

So you see how the kids reflect the parent?
The bully kid has got a bully dad.
And the boy that got whacked, but still continued to play and then happily ate his Ikea Children's meal has got a blur and gila mom like me.

Apa maciam? Same Same?

He's doing okay

It's his 3rd day in school today. And he's doing fine. For the past 2 days, he knows it when I put the school uniform for him and he will sit quietly in the car and as we reach the kindy, he'll say "bye bye!" Then I will let him carry his own bag and walk into the sch holding my hands. And he knows the way...but most of the time he want to wonder off to somewhere else to check out things.

Yesterday, he was already waiting for me at the gate, playing by himself. The teacher told me that he slept in her arms for 1 hour! He wanted to go outside the class but the teacher refused to let him go out and so he cried and as she carried him, he fell asleep. hahahhaha probably he was sleepy and wanted to go sleep since it was his usual nap time at 10ish.

The teacher told me that he's okay. He will only cry when someone snatches his things or when he's sleepy. She commented that he likes to walk to the wall and read the alphabets! and then when she call him he'll go back to his seat. And she kept saying he's cute (although she jalan senget for carrying him in her arms for 1 hour).

We waited at the gate till the bell rang. Before that, J was like an exhibit. The boys kept looking at his Awi Train and the girls keep touching his face and call him "baby". So imagine how tiny he is compared to the other tiny kids. Hehe

When the bell rang, everyone shouted "YAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" and of course my little one did the same, not knowing what is happening. It was a funny sight. But soon he won't be excited about the bell ringing cos I wont be there to pick him up straight after school. He'll need to go to the daycare class where he will be bath, changed, eat lunch, sleep and play with his friends and not me. *sob*

I'm still sending him to his nanny house until its the right timing to switch him completely to daycare. I don't want to change his routine so drastically and scare him. Besides the name calling and preference towards the girl, he is okay, not harmed or anything. I saw him lying on her chest when I picked him up last night. Part of me wanted to tell her "Don't pretend to be so nice okay?" But of course I never say it la.....my son is still going to her place *wink*

My son pretended that he doesn't want to come out. So I told him "Bye!" and he cried. So I carried him and he used his finger to guide my chin to look at him and he winked at me, telling me that "Gotcha!". He was just faking his cry. See how mischievous he is?

Although I'm very tired physically and emotionally, I'm glad he's getting used to sch and he's happy about it. So, first stage-cleared. Now I gotto prepare him for the 2nd stage-daycare. So proly its sewing day for me tomorrow. Gotta sew him another Elmo pillow for him to bring to daycare.
