My recent activities!

I have just started attending weekly play gym sessions at Prime Gym. I like it there! Mummy says its nice to let toddlers play in gyms... we get to exercise, build on our motor skills, we also learn how things work unknowingly too...like rolling the big balls down the "padded ramp"...we do handstands, roman rings...trampoline...walking and balancing on beams...we climb high high up ... etc..

See this is my new hair cut....
(Po Po brought me out and when I came home...this is how I look...)
Hmm....
Mummy thinks it is not the style she like for me...makes me look very CHINABOY...

Hi I am NOT chinaboy..

Soon I will be going for weekly Music session too... Music is essential for mental growth.... if i like it, then mummy will continue... it is just about exposing more options and acivities to me with no pressured learning... just to see if I have interest in them ... ... then we can talk about venturing further in future...

So now my weekly schedule as follow: (see I am busy...pls call me in advance to book me for outing..) ;p

.....

whenever mummy needs to do work then i get to park infront of the TV...TV time...which she tries to avoid allowing me to watch for too long...

Mummy can only do work when Ayden & I are sleeping and that's not enough...

and these days I generally nap from 3plus to 6pm or 2plus to 5pm...

Mummy hopes I can get to play with other little children regularly... Mummy tries to bring me back to Uncle Felix place every alternate Sunday for dinner... Soon in time to come, Mummy hopes she can arrange for every alternate Sat for me to catch up with Gong Gong & Po Po too...

All planning and routine takes time to put in place and efforts too... Mummy says I will understand when I grow older...

Mummy wants to set up an indoor and outdoor play area for us other than the read & write area... :)

The first time mummy scolded me so "badly", so "fiercely" ...I was naughty

8th July 2010 -
I messed up the Ice Cream Cake Mummy bought for Daddy...mummy was so upset

She was shocked when I opened the box on my own and actually messed up the cake within that few mins that she had left the cake box on the floor, while tidying some space in the fridge to make way for the cake box to go in... It was supposed to be a belated birthday cake for Daddy...

Wai Po only came over on 7th July(Daddy's actual BD) late night...so Mummy couldnt go out to get the cake for Daddy as she had to look after 2 of us...plus she wasn't quite in the mood too as Daddy hadn't initiate talk with Mummy since their quarrel couple days back...
Wai Po was SOOOOOOO stunned and in silence when she saw how Mummy scolded me... first time ever....she even chased me out into the outdoor dining area and aske dme to stand there and cry... :( Poor Asher me.... I sobbed and sobbed... (while Mummy's heart BROKE)

20th July 2010 - I refused to eat. I was told to face the wall. I sobbed and sobbed...

Mummy say MIAN BI SI GUO... ...

SURPRISE! Daddy came to "pick" me up after my school yesterday!!

Daddy was in the area and he came to give me a surprise pick up!!
:)

Though I didnt showed much expression about it...
(Daddy says I didnt looked the least surprised..)
(Mummy says I just didnt understand yet, maybe?)
Actually Daddy I am really happy!!

Thank you!
Love you!

i am 2yrs 5months old! & Many changes...

We went maid-less for 2 weeks. Mummy sent the crazy maid back to the agency on 28th June and also tendered her resignation at Tan Chong the immediate next day.

During the time when we were maid-less, Daddy & Mummy had bad fight just 2 days before Daddy's birthday and also after that... Mummy must have been stressed out for that maid less 2 weeks plus daddy's fiery temper and not giving face/respect by throwing tantrum in front of waipo...this is what hurt mummy the most. Why can't Daddy just behave better and show some respect for Mummy's mummy??

It was tough having to look after us and still find time to go out to look for a maid while Wai Po helped to look after us, once or twice, all of us went together... Luckily Mummy had Auntie Joanne Loh who helped us to shortlist suitable maids when she is on her maid search.
Through her, we engaged our new maid Auntie Elizabeth who is now 1 week old with us and been great so far! Far Far much better than Auntie Cora.

Now Mummy finally understood why some people can leave their children in the hands of their helper in peace. So from 28th June to 10th July, Mummy took care of us on her own with Wai Po staying over to help out on some days...and the first 2 weeks when Auntie Elizabeth came.

So far Auntie Elizabeth has been good. Not like the crazy Auntie Cora who always claim anyone, everyone is "gossiping" about her. Not only is she a slow worker, she apparently is just lazy too. Does not shoe sincere respect, always talk back to Mummy and instead of following simple instructions, she try to tell mummy what should be done and what shouldnt be done... Anyway crazy maid time is finally over. Now let's hope Auntie Elizabeth will be this good all the way...

Some of my recent pictures...

Happy Birthday to Daddy...Mummy is not a superwoman

Happy Birthday Daddy... ...
but mummy doubts you will ever read it anyway.

"I'm not your superwoman...I am only human..."

I try to be strong, stronger and stronger... ...
I try to be a good wife, good daughter-in-law, good daughter, good sister, good mummy... ...
but it seems like i have never really succeeded...but failed. failed terribly.

Both pregnancies and many things big small...i almost went through it just like a single mum...
i knew you didn't want it to be that way too.
I try to be understanding to all your tiredness, all your difficulties...
I try to be as independent as I can be...
whatever unjust I had to go through with anyone, i always put you at top priority...having no wish to put you in a difficult position...
No matter how tough the road ahead may seem, being married, I always thought a hubby will always be the pillar of support mentally, emotionally...

There are times I am so lonely, so tired...so mentally and emotionally drained.
BUT i am always alone.
I am just a woman afterall...
There are times I need a shoulder to cry on, a big warm hug... ...
where are they? I am just being left ignored, left alone, left on my own.
There are times I made my messages clear that I am not your superwoman, but just a stronger, independent woman who still needs your love, care and concern and help.... ...but your reply was...the capable one gets more tasks...even the stronger, independent woman has been slowly killed by your silence and nonchalance over the years.

i guess you will never understand why it is a difficult time for me now...
you will never be able to love me how I thought I will be loved by...
My genuine smile and laughter are beginning to leave me...bit by bit...
I am terrified... ....
terrified of losing them forever.

Why have I put in so much effort but for nothing?
i am scared... ...to reach the day when i will just throw the white cloth and surrender...

but i am only human...i am not your superwoman.
I will one day admit defeat to your silence, your nonchalance.
I am just not that strong afterall...just a woman, not a superwoman.
just alone still.
