A Clown

How this conversation took place, after completing make-up in the car, otw to an outing.

Me: "Chloe, how do I look?"

Chloe: "Hm.. O...k..."

Me think: "of cos la" and *roll eyes*

Chloe: ".. but, Mama, I think your lip colour is too red!"

Me busy checking out myself on the mirror again.

Chloe: "That will make you look like a clown leh!"

Me: *o.m.g... A Clown!! and quickly dabbing the lipstick away*

Chloe: "Now, you look beautiful!!"

Me: *relief with huge abish*

SAHM-ing for 2 days

This year, I've got constant reminders from Chloe's teachers to not skip the classes with no valid reason. So I'm really trying my best here. This week, mum-in-law is on vacation, and Andy is out of town for 2 days. Andy dropped me a big hint before he left the house yesterday, "Enjoy your stay-at-home-mum moments for these 2 days okie?"

Task: to carry on the daily routine as per normal. This somehow makes the non-working-day fulfilling. I had not felt so tired for a long while, when staying at home with the children. This sheds a light to me, I have not been spending enough time with them (!!) And making every second counts and worthwhile is the key. I will keep disciplining myself on this! Trust me baby!

So, here's how today's schedule like:
7:45 — Breakfast with the children
8:15 — Prepared Chloe for her morning school
8:45 — Sent her to school before 9am
10:00 — Out to do groceries with Bosco for today's lunch and dinner

posing at the bus stop

11:00 — Back home to let Nana starts preparing the ingredients
11:15 — Brought Bosco for a hair cut
11:30 — Came home to bathe Bosco

the before and after look

11:45 — Proceeded to cook Pasta with Nana's ready ingredients
12:05 — Went to Chloe's school to fetch her back (and being complained by her that I was late for 5mins!!)
12:10 — Brought Chloe for a hair trim

notice she kept her lips sealed?
that's after i warned her for laughing too much and risked eating her own hair!

12:25 — Came home and bathed Chloe
12:45 — Lunch with the children
13:10 — Nagged the children to have their naps on time
13:30 — Dozed off along with them
...
14:00 to 17:00
a little me-time for myself, sneaked out to have facial
and ooh la la, must be the most calming and deep sleep I had in months
...
17:30 — Fetched Chloe from her school (end of afternoon session, thanks to Nana who sent her to school after her nap at 15:00)
18:00 — Bathed the 2 kids at the same time (save time/water/energy and efforts haha)
18:30 — Dinner with the children (Nana warmed up the dinner while I bathed the kids)

kids-friendly pasta with minced meats, sausages, fish balls and canned mushroom

...
19:30 to 21:30
playtime with the kids, and playtime with my new iPhone 5 :)

yeah i certainly hope so, after ditching my S*tel which keeps sending me caller alerts. to think that i was so amazed by the caller alert service 5 years back. they shouldn't make it too big, really!

...
22:30
finally kids are knocked out
...
and now I'm trying to pen down all the thoughts today

Certainly a good day spent together. I hope the weather would be better tomorrow, no dark clouds, so that we don't have to rush worrying the heavy downpour might began anytime.

Good night peeps :)

This White Beauty

The husband decided to get an iPad 2 for the family -- reason being, "It's bigger screen for the kids' perfect eyesight!"

Hmmm... As much as I was convinced, there wasn't anymore added comments from me, except that I had to choose the colour...

As I had been drooling over my colleague's white iPhone, so here it is, ... blogging on this white beauty is truly a satisfaction.

Thanks to the kids who have gone to the dreamland....now it's my first time holding it on to myself for more than 10mins.

Presenting one of the happy faces we took from the iPad..

Night peeps....

Nothing Else Matters

Getting caught in tight schedule doesn't mean I had to sacrifice the good intimate moments with my kids. And often, our best moments are the last half hour before they go to dreamland.

I Have A Confession To Make

I've been so lousy. I regret my stupidity. I want to note this down and make sure it won't happen again.

Chloe just drove me up to wall this evening. She has been crying a lot this week. Almost every night before sleep and making lots of noise in the midnight.

I totally lost my cool when she was crying for nothing for the last 20 minutes.

Like a mad woman, I took out the cane and screamed at her...
I even did all that yelling in front of Bosco.

What the heck has got into me?

I took a breather by stepping out of the bedroom and calmed myself. Chloe followed my path, and still crying. And there she stood still, and finally vomited due to excessive crying.

Fighting the angst and guilt in me, I moved back to the bedroom while my helper cleaning up Chloe at the living room. As I carried Bosco in my arms, his eyes was so soothing as if he was trying to ask me, "What went wrong?"

There, I was awaken. My heart sank. How could I react so harsh towards Chloe when all she needed was only pure affection. Right at that moment, Chloe appeared in front of me again, weeping, and asking to be hugged.

I put down Bosco and quickly welcomed Chloe to my arms. I felt so sorry for her. She then fell asleep in less than 10 mins. Gosh, she must be so tired of all the crying. I whispered sorry to her and kissed her good night.

I hope my sunshine would forgive me!
