On His Actual Bday

backdated post (again!)

He officially turned 3 on the 10th , which is a Saturday. So we've been telling them to be good so they can attend titi's bday party on Saturday. So come Saturday both of them were so happy. When I broke the news to Jayden that Justin's party is only the 2 of them, his face changed and he was so disappointed. "Why so little people he asked me. Where are the rest?" (Long story cut short, too many things happened) I just said "it's okay, we just celebrate and have fun ourselves okay?" So off we went to KidsZone in Plaza Damas. When we got there, there were about 15 kids so it's pretty empty. Both of them enjoyed it, at first.

He kept asking me to take his picture with a pose like this. 

This is the lil guy and the big guy.
He was sleeping when we had our lunch before coming to kidszone. So he was hungry and I bought him sausage bun and soya bean drink for lunch.

So after lunch, he went straight to "work". When the ball flew out from the machine, he jumped flapping his hands. On and off he'll come and tell me that someone pushed him, someone snatched his toy, someone scold him. Yeap, that's my Justin boy.  Never get bullied. In fact he protects his older brother too :S.

Eh its been a long time I post my own picture in this blog hor? haha
yeah, that's Jayden and myself lying down on the floor and snapping our own photo.

and with the lil guy.

And then they got bored. Really bored... cos it's only the 2 of them. No sing song, No food, no play games, no birthday cake, no FUN!

Him and his fav fish toy.

Really pity him. That's the first time we didn't have a proper birthday party for my kids. I always told myself to at least have a small party for my kids cos when I was younger, no one remembers my birthday and  I hardly get any bday card or gift from friends cos it always falls on during school holidays. I felt so bad for not being able to give him a party due to some personal reasons (and it sucks!). So I thought  I wanted to bring him away to a holiday and celebrate but we're renovating our house at this period of time. So no traveling for us. *sigh*

P/S: Sorry Justin, probably next year you can celebrate with your friends in school yeah?

And later that night we went for dinner with my parents. My first sis and her hub came and joined us and they gave him this.

Cool ride right?. Of course he was very happy . But cannot play at home for now cos renovation and everywhere is so dirty. So gotto wait till reno stop in like 2 weeks time. *sigh*

Justin's 3rd Birthday

backdated post..

My neighbour told me she wanted to throw a party for Justin. So we went over for a dinner the day before his birthday. I think she started preparing one day before the actual day. And so we went over at 5.30pm cos I thought I wanted to help her to prepare but then she was already mopping her floor by the time I got there. So the kids played and the mom just sit back and relax for a bit cos I have been working non stop on my designs for the past week.

Ah my baby boy that is turning 3 (then). He looked so mature (and obidient too) in this pic hehe

She even asked her husband to buy a cake for him.

She cooked Jeu Hu Char, Prawns, Indian Curry and also Sau Meen (birthday noodles) and not forgetting soup for Jayden too.

The kiddo was very happy of course, especially when we sang bday song for him


And that's a really HAPPY BIRTHDAY for him :)

The Witch

I went to pick Jayden up and suddenly he told me :

JD: Mami, the witch in the Hansel and Gretel book is not a good witch
Me: Oh why ah ?
JD: cos ah..she went and prepared a feast for Hansel & Gretel. All sweet things lah.
Me: Then? Kids like mah
JD: No. She should cook soup with brocolli and carrot. And feed them rice.
Me: Hah.. what kind of witch is that la?

So funny that he said that cos he likes to eat rice WITH SOUP more than desserts and he expects Hansel and Gretel to be the same also.

Then I though some more.... if there's really a witch that served rice with soup, then she won't be able to catch any children at all. And most probably , the only witch that serves rice with soup for kids is me. Haha!

Ai... I know. I'm gila edi. hahahhahahah Have a great weekend!

Best Broom & Mop or Sweeper *updated*

Okay, its aunty silai moment now.

I must, MUST share with you this.

I used to use this sweeper from Scotch Brite.

Its approx Rm50 for this. And you need to remove the micro fibre using yr hands, hand wash and then stick and seal both the sides before you can start to clean again. I like this cos it acts like a broom and mop at the same time. But then as the days goes by, the velcro on the sides started to disappear. Not forgetting the refill microfibre is about Rm30. Not cheap.

And then I saw this that day. Scotch Brite's New Quick Sweeper!

Same thing, but:

1. Cheaper. I bought mine at Rm26.90 from carrefour.

2. Refill is Rm 12.90

3. Brighter Colour!

4. Just remove the cloth, wash and stick it back. No need to seal the sides and all.

You know why I am so damn excited about this? You know I don't have a maid and I need to do things FAST. With this, I can sweep and mop at the same time. There's another one with the wet tissue thinggy, but I dislike the after cleaning effect. I felt that its abit sticky. I prefer cleaning with water.

Okay, I added this cos few ppl asked me how to use this thinggy. You see the microfibre cloth (darker green) can be removed. And if you wanna use it wet, just run it under water and wring it like how you dry a towel. Then just stick it back to the sweeper's body (velcro) and you can wipe/mop the floor, wall, wherever you wanna wipe. Or if you wanna use it dry as a sweeper also can. But for me I use it wet cos it lifts the dirt and also mop at the same time. Since it's not so wet, there's no water mark/trail on my tiled floor.

Tell you a joke. I was at my SIL's place that day and her maid  told me "aiyoh got one new vacuum ah.. very good one! You use ah.. no need to sweep and mop. One time, the floor very clean already!" I said "wah so good? Show me!" And she pulled me to the clothes drying rack and showed me the mircofibre cloth. "This one lah!" hahahha I laughed, cos I thought she was talking about the vacuum cleaner I am longing to buy, Ergorapido from Electrolux. But this vacuum can't reach under my bed cos its kinda low and the vacuums head is kinda fat. So I think I'll settle for this Quick Sweeper for now, until I decided to buy lottery , strike it and then maybe I'll consider to buy. hehe

Eyes

We're having dinner with my parents at this shop in Seapark and the the waitress that served us had only one eyes opened and the other one stitched up. ( Very obviously stitched up ) and I know that my kids surely will ask about it. So I asked her to come behind them to tell her our order but Jayden managed to see her before that and she whispered to me "tak apa kak. Biar dia tanya...". Jayden was very surprised and he pointed at her with the facial expression like as if he saw a ghost ( sorry, I know very rude but I don't know what other words can express his expression)

JD: MAMI! WHY HER EYES LIKE THAT WAN??? WHAT HAPPENED TO HER EYES! *pointing at her*


Me: Shhhhhhhhh don't point. Very rude to point at ppl like that.

JD: *stop pointing* MAMI!!!! WHY??? WHAT HAPPENED TO HER EYES??????


Me: aiyoh Jayden! *cover his mouth* shhhhhhhh don't ask so loud. Very rude.

JD: BUT! BUT! BUT WHY??? Where is one more eye? WHO SEW HER EYES?!!!


Me: *cover his mouth* shhhh Jayden . Don't ask so loud. Please! *whisper* If you want to ask, you can whisper to me after she leaves okay?

JD: *still in shocked* Why?Why like that??


Me: *after the waitress left* well.. maybe she was holding a fork and she fell down and the fork accidently poked her eyes?

JD: *Eyes opened BIG, in shock and puts down his fork*


Me: yeah...Or maybe a chopstick...Or she run around and then she fell hard on something sharp.. anything can happen wan.

JD: but why mami? why like that?


Me: cos.... when your eyes spoiled right.. cannot fix back wan. If you injured yr eyes, or poked it.. then you will be blind. and then since the eyes spoiled edi then need to remove the eyes and then removed edi then you will have a hole in your eyes. So how? Sew it back la

JD: *shocked*  BUT WHY??? WHY???

Then the waitress came to put our drinks down and she whisper again "tak apa kak... tak apa...* and smiled

JD: *Pointed again* MAMI! why her eyes like that!


Me: aiyohhh Jayden.. please lah. *held his hands and cover his mouth*

Waitress : tak apa kak. Biar dia tanya.

Me: Sorry.. sorry..

JD: *mumbles *


ME: Jayden. Stop this at once! I told you its very very rude.

JD: But Why! Why I cannot point?


Me: Because she will be very sad.

JD: Why? Why she will be sad?


Me: What if you fall down and then people point at you and ask Why that boy fall down? Why that boy got blood coming out from the leg? Why Why Why? Will you be sad?

JD: Yes.


Me: Then it's the same for the chehcheh. She lost her eyes edi. So she is sad. And then you point point and ask like that , you think she will be sad or not?

JD: Yes.


Me: so... next time if you see anyone got no eyes, or no leg, or no hand, you mustn't spoint and ask so loud. Wait for them to leave then you wan quietly ask me.

JD: okay...........

Then the waitress waked pass again
JD: Ahhhhhhh MAMI ! WHY HER EYES LIKE THAT!


Me: *slap forehead* aiyoh  Jayden!!! enough already!

And then the waitress swapped area with her colleague and served the other side of the restaurant and my headache ended.

My god! Really paiseh with my Jayden that night. He was so shocked and couldn't accept my explanation at that point. But the funny thing is, you know that Jayden has very sepet eyes right? After that night his eyes are bigger, not naturally but I can see that he tried to opened them wider. Don't know why. hehe
