Our KK Trip

We're in KK last Friday till Sunday to accompany Big C for his business trip. We left our house at 5.15am hoping to get to the airport on time for our 6.50am flight. But our superman driver took more than 1 hour to reach the airport and when we arrived at the airport, the gate was already CLOSED. Probably they saw Big C panting like mad carrying one sleepy boy and another mad looking pregnant woman carrying bags, they opened the gate for us and we rushed to the gate to board.

J enjoyed the plane ride, and luckily we brought his gadgets to keep him entertained.


Once reached, we took a cab to Promenade Hotel. Big C already informed them before that that we'll arrive early so we need a room early. But however, we still need to wait more than 1 hour after many rounds of asking. Big C left us for training not long after that.

And luckily again I have my gadgets to keep lil boy entertained.



We ordered room service cos I was half dead when we got into the room. Luckily he was okay. He ate whatever that is edible in the room...

Eating keropok...

And even told himself Shhhhhh...

And discovered the "flushing game" in the toilet. So he kept telling me he wanted to shh shh and he did! And he wanted to flush for me also.....ekkk!

Big C got back near to 7 and we went for quick dinner opposite our hotel, facing the sea. And then the hotel called us to ask us to go back and change our room to a "better" room? And it was exactly like the first room. And because of the room changes, we lost Henry's (Awi) backside.

Neh...the one with no3.

He loved the tub as always..

He look different now eh?

The next day itinery was to go to WildLife Park. But it rained since early morning till........the next day. So we walked...and walked...and played in the shopping mall's playground...

A very rare look of Jayden's - The Innocent Look.

Ever since he started school, he know how to play with other kids.

But they seem to reject him..err cos he is a boy!

And he played and played until he got so bored...


Don't talk about Jayden being bored.. I'm also bored..


and suddenly I remembered I'm pregnant.

This my tumtum at week 22. No, that's not my naked tummy. I was wearing an orange blouse when I took my picture.

And then when the weather got better, we hang around at the Hotel's pool.





Yes, his mouth can be opened very very wide...

And at night we met up with Papajoneh & JPPMOM and their kids.

Seeing double! Yes, the twins are just so ............ (pls fill in the blanks yourself).
A. Biteable.
B. Kissable.
C. Huggable.
D. All of the above!

And I secretly nibble on this fella's arm and fingers...

This is the younger twin, Presley. How I know which is which? I have no idea. I asked the mother :P

J enjoyed himself while running around with Joneh's eldest son-Josh. We hardly sat down and eat together because the twins wanted to walk around. The older kids wanted to run around. And the parents were occupied with the kids. We took turns to eat. But then after that Joneh brought us around in KK town to show us around. J vomitted in Joneh's car (Sorry again Joneh *shy*) and thanks for the lovely dinner. Next time when you come to KL is our turn yea..

That's all we did in KK. It was the wrong timing -raining season. But J seems to enjoyed himself and we get to spend sometime with him. And that's all that matters.

Ma! Shhhhhh!

Usually I'd walk into the sch and accompany him to wait for the sch bell to ring. Yesterday, I waited outside the gate. And of course the little one saw me and started whining.

Then he started to cry abit and told me:
"Ma! uwaaaaaaaaaa Shhhhhh!"
(putting his finger on his mouth).

He was crying + calling me + telling himself not to cry at the same time. 



He's one funny fella!

Point Point Finger...

Over the weekend I was at my aunts' place. Another uncle of mine told us that his son got an E for his Mandarin. He kept making fun of my cousin - E is for Enough. And he kept attacking the son "You think you're car izit? E is enough and F is Full"? The poor boy just put his head down. "Tomorrow when I go and see your teacher then you will know what is ENOUGH.

It was his first time taking mandarin exam and mandarin wasn't his core language. Besides speaking mandarin in mandarin class, no one teaches him or speak to him.

I asked my uncle "Who won't get red marks when they reach secondary sch? You never get red marks before meh? And also who teach him mandarin?"

The father kept quiet.

I added "Come to think of it, scoring all As doesn't mean you're smart. You're good in memorising the answers to the question. The most important thing is understanding what you learn. Do you want him to be book smart or street smart?"

He kept quiet.

Not enough I added somemore salt to the wound "Some of my straight A friends cannot find job. Why? cos they don't know how to answer in an interview. Not being taught in sch before and it's not written in the text book. So they are like dunggu".

And the wife agreed "yeah yeah some ppl came for interview don't even know how to fill in the forms". The wife is a principle in an intl kindy :D.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

What I am pissed of was, the father only know how to scold and point finger at the kid(s) for doing badly in the exam. But he never ask himself "Why did he score badly in the exam? Did he get enough guidance? What did I do as a father to help my own son?" Worst come to worst blame it on the mother for the son's bad results. That's what we human always do. Point one finger at another person and totally forgot that there's at least another 3 fingers pointing back to our self. It's always why YOU never do this and why YOU never do that. What about yourself?

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Just like our kids being naughty. Normally, parents will say "My kids is notty la."
Really?
Think again.
They are notty because....they are not doing things according to the way WE want it. Its always about how we want it. How about their feelings? Did u ever ask them how they want it to be? We want things to go according to us so that our plan can go on smoothly, just the way we want it. But does it mean that your way is the ideal way? The best way? And one more thing, do you ever wonder that they are notty because ....they followed your footstep?

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Another thing - Hyper kids. The parents cannot cope. So the parent will say "Oh they are hyperactive!". I went to a talk that day and she told us that there are no hyperactive kids. There's only under active parents like us. Cos we're so lazy to chase after them. But why are they moving so fast ? Cos the brains are working twice and they are 2 times smarter than US, adults. So do you think they wil sit still? If they sit still, you should be worried. HAH! One good example that she used is "Have u seen Tom & Jerry sitting down in the cartoon? No right? They are moving. That's why children love to watch them. But we adult dislike it. Instead we like to sit down , watch Korean Drama for 3 days 3 nights, cry cry cry, no eat no sleep and still enjoy it. Why? No need to move and use brain..that's why.. That's how underactive we are now. Nah Nah Nah...dun come and attack me cos i said the Korean Drama ok? I know many of you guys watch it, I'm just repeating what she said during the talk.

So sometimes when I see ppl scold the kids or say that they are naughty, I really want to laugh out loud. Cos they forgot to evaluate themself and just like to blame others for own mistake. Okay dun wanna laugh at people too much, I need to evaluate myself also. I'm also a new parent and I'm not perfect. Ok,I wanna do meditate now and think about it..

Aummmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

My Apple

If you ask yr kid to look at the picture above and you ask them "What do you see in this picture?". They will answer "APPLES!"

They wont answer like how we will answer "Red apples, Green apples, slightly yellow and green apples, blablabla and all the other facts that will make people think that we're so brilliant because we can see the different things in just a few Apples.

But to them, Apple is Apple. Red or green, its still Apple. Taste slightly different-but who cares.It's still crunchy. That's how simple, pure and innocent the mind is.

If we can nurture our kid(s) to think like how they have perceived the Apple, they will grow up to be a special Apple - unique by itself, humble and nice.

To them, they are an apple like every other people and they have their own taste. i.e they are good in their own special way- no need to compare with another person to make them self feel great.

I want my Apple to be humble and nice. How about you?

Stoned Woman Blogging.

1. I am so stoned today. Jayden had nightmare, so he was crying and kicking the whole night. Wanna hold hands la.. want me to hug like this, like that and dunno like what. And the little one is kicking me like his big brother from inside too. Happy or not? Bahagianya aku............... I felt like banging my head to the wall and pengsan for few hours without interruption. Can ah?
   
2. I used to buy stretchable working clothes because I hate ironing. Big C send his working clothes to laundry cos he said they iron nicer than me. But last night I ironed Jayden's uniform. You see how he turn me into maid?
   
3. I cannot believe what I said "Jayden you need to sleep early okay? Otherwise you can't get up for school..." Sounds very familiar. But I don't believe I'm saying that already and my son is only 25 months now. In another few years more I'll be saying "Do you have homework today?".
   
4. I'm like a programmed robot. I wake up, brush teeth, make milk for J, on the tv to wake him up, get dressed, draw some eyebrows, colour the cheeks abit and comb my hair, dress J up, Wear socks for him, Fill up his water tumbler, take his bag, drive to his sch, send him to class, go to work, wait for 11.15am, rush to J's sch, pick him up, send him to nanny, buy lunch, rush back to office, eat lunch, try to work, wait for handphone to ring, rush to nanny, pick him up, go home, cook rice, watch Bella, eat dinner, bath, play with Jayden, make milk with him, and sleep. Tomorrow start again. Sound like your day too? Welcome to FTWM gang.
   
5. Okay sekian terima kasih. And thank god tomorrow is Saturday.
