She is now at a stage where I felt helpless and challenged sometimes. She is an angel in the mornings, and became a rebellious babe in the evening. She’d be threading on my nerves and making me angry.
I tried very very hard…I lost my temper all the times with her in the evenings. She is [...]

Been very lazy tired lately due to insomnia. Though lazy, I have been doing housework daily and meeting friends for lunch occassionally and making myself look as if I am so busy! Haha… Brayden’s been moving alot these days till both Daddy and Jiejie “warned” him not to be overly active at night so that [...]
Half Day to Ourselves

Our usual routine was, Ethyl would sleep till she wakes up at around 10.30am. Either I’ll bathe her, and meet Mom for breakie at the coffeeshop, or she’ll want to bathe at Mom’s after coming back from coffeeshop. We’ll then go to Mom’s, she’ll have her lunch there, while I’ll stay till it’s time for [...]

Yes, name has been decided and finalised by Hubby and approved by Ethyl. We will name little guy Brayden.
There was not much preparations done thus far. Frankly, I do not know what needs to be prepared as he will be using Ethyl’s cot, he will inherit hand me downs from Lleroy, Rachele gave me a [...]
She’s Irritating

Eversince I taught her the word “irritating”, she had been using it aptly. The first time she used it was when she saw an aunt staying near us. She is not a figure we all liked and she loved to tease Ethyl. When she walked pass us one day, Ethyl suddenly said, “Mommy, she’s irritating right?”.
Haha…she really [...]
（珍）惜（幸）福

每当我起床时，看着女儿那可爱的脸蛋，我总会情不自禁的靠过去吻一吻她。这是幸福！
在家的这段时间，我都会告诉自己要珍惜我们仅有的时间加强我们的亲子关系，应为baby出世之后我相信前几个星期我将会忙得不可开交。虽说Mommy会帮我，但我本身是一个喜欢亲力亲为的人，即使有人帮，我相信我还是会很忙的。
趁着我还有时间，我会尽量和女儿说弟弟出世后会有些什么改变。到现在为止她很能够接受我们所说的，可能是她本身就爱baby, 所以都很能够接受接下来的改变。也有可能是看着那胖嘟嘟的表弟，她也意识到baby是可爱又无助的，需要我们细心的照顾。也就应为这样，她每天都会对着我那隆起的肚子说话。告诉弟弟姐姐又多么的爱他，多么期待他的降临。对一个母亲来说，这可是最美好的画面啊！
老公也爱这个小瓜。他时不时就会在肚子里拳打脚踢的，弄得我好不舒服，却又让我有股莫名的兴奋。我相信它将会像姐姐一样，很能够跟我们沟通。可爱的姐姐只要哟听见我说”ouch”就会很心疼地问”Mommy,what happen? Painful? Brayden kicked you?” 之后又对着我的肚子说”Brayden, don’t kick Mommy so hard ok, very painful you know? Kick softly (gently) ok? Good boy!”.
哪个妈妈听了之后不会爱这个孩子？我超爱这个孩子！带她出门时，它会提醒我们要买衣服，玩具之类的给弟弟。当我们告诉他说弟弟不需要，她会为弟弟相隔买东西的理由。当我们进入童装部，想买衣服给她，她总会到婴儿部看有没有适合弟弟的东西。我相信，他将会是一个好爱弟弟的姐姐，一个帮得上忙得好帮手！

Chinese New Year 2008

This year’s new year is exhausting for me. On the eve of CNY, I busied myself in the kitchen baking oreo cupcakes for MIL and when Hubby tried it, he said it’s nice and wanted me to bake another batch so that he could eat more. After baking, we went over to Mom’s place and [...]
