Photos of Chloe 22nd to 23rd Month

Hi all, for those who missed Chloe..

Busy busy busy..

Just couldn't find time to update this blog. So sorrie.. Been busy lately with work, part-times, race, and not to forget Chloe.. haha. Mr has just been back from US, been away for one month, that's why been busy accompanying Chloe so that she won't feel lonely even when Mr is not around. Nonetheless, she doesn't felt any difference, since so many of us are around her everyday, she only started asking and missing her Daddy 2 weeks later, and asked for more video conferencing. Haha. Now is all back to normal after Mr is back, and she was so happy when she saw Daddy at the airport. Family is reunited again..

Also, lately been busying helping my sis in law with her events, same time earning some extra bucks for ourselves.. Keke. Save up for our new house!! Way to go!

Not to forget, last Sat me and my colleague went for the Apple Discovery Race, it was fun but really tiring especially we both didn't exercise for a long time and we got to run. That's why we suffered from severe muscles ache the next day. Haha. Weaklings! But we got into semi-finals and is going to happen on 5 Dec 2009 at Plaza Singapura... followed by finals on 6 Dec.. Come support us if we managed to get into the finals. Haha. :P

Last but not least, Chloe will be turning 2 years old next Sun. Time really flies. Won't be having any major celebration but just small gathering with relatives. Hope she will have a happy time and she even choose her favourite Mickey Mouse cake online. Haha. Yummy.

Will try to post pictures of her soon after her birthday.. :)

October Post!

Another late post. Find it so hard to keep the blog alive but will still try to.

How time really flies, Little Chloe will be 2 yrs old in about 1month plus time. OMG. But this year, won't hold a party for her, just bring her out to play and dinner. Wait till she's bit older then will hold a party for her and her frens.. A real good themed-party!

Next week Sunday, Mr will be flying off to US for one month for his work, wonder how will me and Little Chloe be? Will I be pulling my hair taking care of her in the middle of the night? Will she unexpectedly be a good girl? Anyways, Nov 20 quickly come. Mr will be back.

Decided to put Chloe into Tumbletots at Jurong East for her Pre-N. Then either to St James Church or Jurong Calvary Church when her Nursery kicks in in 2011. I guess this will be the best planned path for her if everything goes well.

Another hope will be able to get a good chance in the HDB balloting this time. Else maybe we got to wait for the BTO in boon lay for year 2013 if we are patient enough. Haha.

Wish everyone has a nice holiday tomorrow! Even though it is like a normal Sat of the week!.. :)

At last is updated..

It's REALLY BEEN a long time since I last blogged.

Ever since the demise of my grandmother, I started to get busy until now I felt the need to blog to keep the blog alive.

Recently also have bought an IMAC to do photo editing of Chloe's pictures, but just do not have the time or the chance to press the power button. If I do that, I will have the little devil up on my laps and wanting to press the keyboard, or she will just keep nagging mickey mouse mickey mouse. Lately, whenever she sees any of us using computer, she will do this, especially after last week we got to know she can say the magic words of Mickey Mouse. Miska Muska Mickey Mouse! From then, she kept wanting to see it on the Youtube rather on TV. She will sit infront of the computer, repeating the Mickey Mouse song over and over again. She super like the HOT DOG song where all the characters are dancing and she will try to follow. Over the weekends, we are trying to see if she likes the ELmo Song, apparently a little. Still Mickey Mouse her favourite.

Now that she is 20.5 months old, not sure what is the standard progress of her age group. Only know that she likes to sing, and can sing to the tune of certain children's songs with some words, sometimes fill in the blanks for us when we sing to her. It's really fun listening to her sing. The only thing is I duno if she likes to write/colour. She dun like us to assist her, holding her hand to do the writing or colouring. And after a while, she just dropped it and go to play. OMG. Is this normal?? I see other kids like to write or colour but not her. Other than this, she is ok which I feel for her age.

Currently I am having a big headache on her education, which centre should I choose? She is going to be in Nursery next year. How fast. But me and Mr have not even decide which centre or what kind of program she should be attending. Last wed, brought her to MMI enrichment center at Jurong East for 2 hours playgroup, they make use of the 2 hours to do singing and teaching a little. She seemed ok. But will 2 hours be sufficient enough for her Nursery and Kindergarten in the later stage? As enrichment center only have 2 hours, and not half day. And let's say if I put her to playgroup now, is she going to change school again when comes to Nursery which is Jan next year? Will this be too much of a changing school for her? Argh.. HELP!! I really don't know what to choose or think and Mr let me decide for her. Really big headache. Unless we just drop her off at the PAP downstairs..?? Though some say PAP no good. Sigh.

Back from Taiwan..

At last, me and Mr came back from Taiwan holiday last weekend. Life without little one is really horrible. Sometimes it's really contradicting, when you are at home, you find little one very noisy and disturbing, just want to have some peace so off we went for a holiday. But when you are abroad, you miss her so much that you want to be home the very second. Argh.. She is constantly on our mind, even more when we saw cute kids running around on the streets. Of cos, without fail, we called her every night. Maybe due to she's too young, she only shouted Papa, Mi Mi, good girl on the phone. Only during the last day, we spoke abit more, maybe she started to miss by then. It's comforting to hear that she looked for me when she woke up in the morning, and her nai nai brushed it off by saying Mi Mi work. Haha. Work 24hours for 7 days. Haha. At Taiwan, we looked high and low for stuffs to buy back for her, no clothes were nice, but only a stitch bag, a big pink pillow, and a throw the rings in the stick toy for her. Hope is enough for her.

We came back on Thursday midnight, we thought she wouldn't come as it was too late and she would be sleeping by then. GOD KNOWS! She appeared. I was waving so hard at the collect luggage area to her, and she looked abit blur, but by seconds, I could her shout AH AH AH! This seemed to be her recent method of calling people, I guess learnt from her cousin, Little Riann. When we came out, she gave a "want to smile, dun wan to smile" kind of look when we want to carry her. Haha so cute. She was of cos happy when she saw us at last.
For the next 3 days, Fri, Sat and Sun, we had fun and made up to her. During these days, me and Mr found her abit of "weird". She looked like she has changed her look after a week we didn't see her, and her behaviour as well, maybe for the better. After all, she is growing up, and starts to understand what we saying. Most of the times, she will accomodates with our request by a word "CAN".

Through this, I told Mr, I will never leave little one behind anymore. Everywhere we go, we will bring her along. Maybe next year we will plan a short trip with little one in mind. :)

The one and only Chloe

Chloe has recovered from her HFMD. And just went for her very last 2 jabs of her "must take" injection package at Thomson. Before she even started to get jab, she already wanted to cry, when the jab went into her butt, she cried like nobody business. But eventually stop crying when she was offered sweets. Zzz. KIDS.

Stopped Schicida for one week cos of HFMD, she resumed her class on Sat. I was tremendously shocked, when this time, she got full marks for her memory and ESP game, I myself cannot even remember the colours shown during the 10seconds. SUPERB CHLOE! Even teacher also commented she got very good photomemory. But after that, 10mins, she cannot concentrate anymore, cannot sit still, want to walk around, only came back to seat where is music and dance time. Argh...I really dunno how to prolong her attention span. She is the only one in class that cannot sit still. She's only the one who find the lesson "boring" especially flash cards time. Oh my god. Really make me want to vomit blood. But cannot stop laughing when she dance to the music and she looked back at me and smile. Argh.

At night, Simon Uncle came to fetch us to Pak Leong's house. She cried and cried when she see Charmaine and uncle and auntie. But after seeing Char's phone she stop crying and she's fine. cried again when reached my auntie's house. Really cannot understand why she will cry, what is it in her that make her cry. The funny thing is when she was crying, my dad actually ask her to call Gong Gong. And she in the midst of crying called Gong Gong. Everyone laughed. Crying still can call people. Funny girl. But after a while, she is ok, and started to perform her cheeky actions and laugh. The whole night no one is successful to carry her but only play with her. :P

Me and Mr will miss her when we go for our holiday this Fri for a week. Hope she will miss us too.

And yes, pictures I got no time to upload in office, but only can blog. KEKE. Will do so sometimes this week..

Little one got HFMD!!

So angry at myself. I am now still in office waiting for Logistics people to give me the GO to start the operations run, and at the same time worrying about the little one at home.

Mr just brought Little One to see doctor due to rashes multiplying. And the doctor confirmed she got HFMD when she checked that she got ulcers in her mouth! OUCH! It really pains my heart. During the time when she was seeing doc, I was surfing net for symptoms of HFMD, and I came across pictures of it, and one of them was a tongue full of ulcers, I don't even dare to open up the picture bigger to view. I kept thinking this wont happen to little one. Who knows, Mr told me that doc checked she got alot of ulcers in her mouth that's why she is not drinking and eating. If this goes on, she will become dehydrated, end up have to go to hospital. Even adults us, have one ulcer already pain like dunno what, let alone a kid with so many ulcers in her mouth. Dunno which kid in the school or class got it and spread to her. I really feel like scolding bad words now. At the same angry at myself, have I really made a very bad decision to send her to school at this time and age. And why it happen on her!! I guess I won't put her to half day or full day childcare center anymore, until she grows up older. BUT NOT NOW! I felt so guilty now. Now that she got to be quarantined for 1 week. I really dunno how she is going to take it, now can only hope she wont have those painful blisters and her mouth ulcers quickly go away!! Please god..

End of School..

No good no good. Chloe is now having fever on her second day of school, which I think is not acceptable. She is too weak. All of us heart-ached seeing her sick, so therefore, me and Mr decided to withdraw from the school. But yet, we still got to pay the 2 weeks trial fees. Anyways, no choice, spend the money is better than getting Chloe to be sick and traumatised.

She is actually faring very well in school, she didn't cry, she didn't fuss, she was not scared of her schoolmates except the Chinese-china teacher. Maybe after all, I was there with her. She ate more than she ate at home. In the beginning, I still worry she don't eat. LOL. Her attention span is still short, she couldn't sit to listen till the end of the whole storybook. Haha. So she will follow her schoolmates walk around the classroom. Faint.

After breakfast, the teachers brought them to the top floor with carpeted floor to run around. When they about to go back down, 2 schoolmates suddenly lie on the floor, don't want to move. The teacher said "Come, let's go!" Chloe saw they are still not moving, so she went to them, said "come come" then even volunteer to hold their hands to get up. Teacher's assistant! Haha. This happens 2 times. She is so Da Jie Da. Haha.

During first day, no one wants to hold her hand, which I dunno why. I told her to go hold hands, she turn around and around, stretching her hand, but no one want to hold, maybe the rest already have partners. Poor girl. Ended up, I hold her hand. Haha. Second day was ok, she found friends to hold hand with.
As usual, when she hears the music playing she will start to shake.

Only yesterday, I decided to let her try out to bathe and sleep there. Bathe was ok, the principal herself bathed her, Chloe was happy. She can't get to sleep though she is tired, no choice, got to carry her to sleep, then put her down on the mattress. Thinking to let her accustom without me, so I went to Jurong Point to have lunch. Who knows, after 45mins, I received a call, saying she woke up, cannot find me, and cried. I hurried back, seeing her sitting on her Chinese teacher's lap, eyes red red swollen, nose also red red. Upon seeing me, she cried again, made me eyes wet as well. Poor girl, she is traumatized. She is fine afterwards, eating her bread toast happily.

Last night, my sister in law asked her if she like school? She didnt answer her. Haha. Before sleep, I asked her if she want to go back to school? She straight answer, Dun wan. Then think a while later, she say want, dun want. She just can't make up her mind. Else, she is just being cheeky with me. Haha.

Anyways, this is good experience for us parents, to see what childcare center life is all about. The thing is I find Chloe not really enjoying herself fully. Hopefully the next school she goes to, she will like it. We will settle this after we come back from holiday.

Photos I will post later.. Stay tuned.

Chloe going to school tomorrow

Time really flies, and tomorrow will be 1st July 2009, Chloe's 1st day of school at Little Skoolhouse. My mind is in a whirl, thinking what is going to happen tomorrow, how she is going to take it, will she cry, will she be good? Especially now I felt that her social skills seemed to degrade. Hopefully tomorrow when she sees all her friends, she will forget about us and enjoy herself. What's more, we are only leaving her there for half-day, and will be sitting in with her as well. Be good, CHLOE!

On Sunday, we were by the road side waiting for a taxi to bring us to our dad's place. When I mentioned the word "Taxi", Chloe suddenly lifted her hand out of the road to hail a taxi! I was shocked lor! She must have seen us doing it quite often that she picked it up. I tot I seen wrongly, so I asked her, how do you stop a taxi? She did it again, she lifted her hand out and stop there. Haha. So funny.

Now every Sunday, we will bring her for a swim. Hoping her fears for so much "water" will go away, and of cos, I see improvement. Except the only thing is got her to wash her hair, any drip of water touches her head she will shout. Let alone when water goes into her eyes! LOL. Everytime when I bathe her, I have to really put in so much effort to coax her and divert her attention away to other thing and quickly steal a chance to wash her hair. Hehe.

Tomorrow I gonna take pictures of her going to school, except without School Uniform yet, as we haven't got the chance to buy it. Hehe.

Surprise for us!

On Wednesday night, on our way to IMM to shop for groceries, I just happened to ask the little one, 'WHAT IS YOUR NAME?' Then surprise! She answered me back "Ko-wee". I was super happie, finally on this night, she said her own name! We didn't really practise asking her to say her own name, and she did it on her own. Maybe thanks to everyone who "shouted" her name when she got noti, and she just remembered and learnt it somehow! Haha. So proud of her. At least when she go to school next month, she is able to answer what is her name.

TGIF. And I guess I am ending my class soon, time check, 4pm. Wonder what I should do now while waiting for Mr to off work to meet me up at the PC Show.. Hmm.. This week is a short work week for me. Happie!

Enjoy your weekends frenz.

Happy 2nd Anniversary Mr! Happy 18mths, girl.

Today is Mr and I's 2nd anniversary, how time flies, though is only a short 2 yrs but somehow I felt we are already old husband old wife in chinese saying. Haha. Not sure where Mr will be bringing me for dinner, right now sitting in the library, supposedly to study but ended up, blogging and uploading photos. No mood to study. But should be heading back home soon, to get ready to go to Vivo to get Mr his prezzie from Esprit.

Chloe has also turned 18mths last Sat which coincides with my company's Family Day 2009. It was a really hot day, expectedly, shortly, Chloe burst out in sweat, as well as my niece, Riann. Chloe was happily playing with the crayons for the colouring contest as well as the beads for the coaster art contest. Of cos, the contests have ended, otherwise, she where got place to sit and play with it.. I was so busy running around making as one of the organizers, I got no time for my family felt so bad.. Terry, one of my RC mate, asked me, Do you know your daughter ate crayons that day?! Then I wasn't surprise at all, Haha, cos she already eating colour pencils at home, so what's crayons to her! Haha. Of cos, at this age, I really hope she stopped putting things in her mouth, but irregardless of how many times we said her, she still wont budge. Sometimes, really got no idea how to control her and teach her.

Oh yes, she did continue with her Schicida classes, as Mr do not want to stop her classes despite having the full time childcare soon, which means from Mon - Sat she will have classes, even busier than us, adults. LOLX. Hope her time is really meaningful. Awaiting for 1st July to come, wondering how will she react when she goes to school...

Her achievements: able to call and name everyone. Able to count 1-6. Able to sit at one corner to read books on her own. Able to call her name!

Her favourite words: DUN WAN! DUN WAN!

Her stubborness: Keep putting stuffs inside her mouth. Always cry when want to sleep. Always saying DUN WAN!

Hurray!! Chloe got a place in Little Skoolhouse!

Latest updates!! Little Skoolhouse called me and they are willing to offer me a place for Chloe and she will be starting school officially on 1st July 2009! OH MY GOD!! Cannot describe my feelings now, felt so happy and sad at the same time. Sad that little one going to spend her day there, sort of like going to be her second home. Will I cry on her first day? I suddenly felt unbearable to leave her there, though I know she will enjoy there, but can she sleep and nap there? So many questions in my mind. Though I felt that I am promoted cos my girl has grown up and able to go to school already!!! I guess the blog will be interesting after July reporting status of her school life.. :)

Seemed like quite a long time ever since I last blogged about me and Chloe. Last Sat, Mr was in camp for his reservist, and I had to bring little one to class. Dunno why I really feared bringing her to class, especially to Schicida, maybe cos I felt inferior as other kids can sit down and listen to the teacher and play those games. But not to little one, she will walk around the class, fiddling with other kids' stuffs on the floor, sitting on the window latch instead of the chair. I really don't know what to do, and I kept remembering Mr's words, though she is walking around but she is learning too! But it doesn't seem to me the case, how can she learn when she is not even looking at the teacher. I think even at certain point the teacher too sort of like gave up on her, especially when is her turn to play the ESP games, little one just took a little bit more time to pick and choose or sometimes she will just point at all the answers, the teacher just simply "Oh ok, you choose this lion". And she moved on to the next child. At this point, I felt sad for Chloe being treated like this, of cos she doesn't know what is going on, and she just went to walk again. She simply just like walking! Of cos, me here, kept hoping time faster pass, and get out of the classroom with her. Dunno how much times I have to force carry her back to her own chair. :(

But I felt GOOD when I brought her to source for her full day childcare as she is turning 18months next month. On Sat, I brought her to the Little Skoolhouse at Safra Jurong which was yet to open. But classes for toddlers already filled up fast! So I was there for the second time to actually make payment but hopefully able to enjoy $100 off for 12months which was firstly offered to us a week ago, but due to seats all filled up, she was only able to give us 6 months off, which I was not happy about it. But the principal was nice, she helped me to check if she still can slot in little one, not sure if she was acting to be nice to shoove me off first or she is really nice to help me. But anyways, the main thing, little one and I was happy there, all the teachers there remember her as the cute little one, with pretty eyes, and all like her alot, thanks to her PR skills, I was "frens" with her class teacher, which makes life much easier in future when she attends the class. Must learn to PR also all the way until she enters a good Primary School! Haha.. Kiasu MUM! Today called up the school and the recept told me there might be a space left but got to discuss with the principal if can accept me. GOSH! Really make me nervous! But at the same time, thinking of the whole scenario, principal said all 36 places taken up, recept said now got 23 kids, duno principal want to accept one more to make it 24 or not.. Zzz.. Make me confused who is the true one. Hope I can have good news by today.

Last night, Mr didn't come back home due to staying in camp for night duty. When I came back from class around 10.30pm, little one has not slept. After I bathed, I coaxed her to sleep and even talk to her.. telling her to sleep thru the night, mummy is tired, daddy not coming, so be good and nice to mummy ok.. she didn't reply me though but she has been a good girl and slept thru the night. But only morning, she didn't want me to go to work.. and end up, her nai nai got to lie to her I go toilet and then out of the house door I went. Dunno why I felt bad, cos I feel we shouldn't lie to children especially at her age. Sorry Chloe.

Thank God this Sat Mr can bring Chloe to class, but maybe we won't be continuing the classes anymore due to not enough funds for her to attend this class, since she is also need to go to the fullday school, plus having to pay the maid and the hefty PUB bills.. maybe after all, we don't need the maid anymore since little one is going full day childcare RIGHT!! The most me and Mr tired abit, have to wash own clothes, then we still can hire partime cleaner to do the housechores, can save us hundreds! Wont it be great! Else we totally have no savings to do house renovation or even planning a second one.. DAMN CHAM! :(

After all, I really felt bad, not able to give her the best of the best.. Nothing much me and Mr can do.. hopefully we can get our own home soon.. Kinda excited about the tot of able to design my own home and us living in it, will it be a new lease of life??

To Chloe..

To Chloe, Mummy would like to say sorry to you. Mummy is bad and do not know how to be a good mummy to you. Whenever you cried with a reason we do not know, especially in the middle of the night, and non-stop, and flare up your temper, Mummy could only think you are very noti and unreasonable, bad thoughts came to my mind, I just wanna run away from all your cries. I want back my freedom, I do not want to be a mummy anymore. I cannot take it anymore, I just felt like I am going into a depression. I am so worried that it will become worst. But no one understand me, not even Mr. He only said everytime I flare up my temper, which I admit I am wrong, just that I cannot control myself. After each such ordeal, I will cry in the dark, blaming myself why I am a bad mummy, why I can't this, why I can't that. I just felt I got no more moral support, consolation, encouragement from Mr, and I just felt alone and being blamed. Where is the love between us, or there is not? But just responsibility between us to bring up Chloe. It just feels terrible and unbearable for me. I do not know how much longer can I hold on, but I know I need.

Chloe, Mummy is sorry and please forgive Mummy if it happens again, Mummy promise I will try to contain my temper.

Smart Chloe!

What a tiring week. Ah ber said I am slow in uploading photos again. But no choice, really got no time to shoot and upload due to night classes. And now the thought of having night classes every night for the whole of next month really puts me off! DUH! Hope to enjoy my long weekend this week before nightmare starts!

Last weekend as usual, BUSY! Especially now every Sat we got to bring the little one to class, so practically our Sat is burnt. After Mr attended the Parents Guidance Session on Schicida, he decided to let the little one run around the classroom on Sat. He said even though she is running around, she is still listening and learning. I do not know how true but time will tell. So, on Sat, she was let free! Mr told me she and one boy went to one corner at the window ledge to sit down.. so cute. And when it was doing exercise time, they will go back to their to do their work. So good girl and boy. We even bought the study materials for her, and cost us $300 plus!! Kids stuff aren't cheap! Mr told me he wanted her to be on this program for 3 years, hopefully she will be a genius by then! I support this decision!

We went to view houses on Sun, those near to Jurong Point. There was one house damn scary! It was leased out to the Bangladesh workers, and the smell, WOOT! Cockroaches running around, men lying around on the floor to sleep! Kaoz! I think we barely stayed 1 min and we left! LOL. After viewing so many, I guess Mr still like the Jurong East house at 22nd floor with a fantastic view. I agree.

Tell u guys a funny discover about the little one! Yesterday, Mr and small one came to Jurong East to meet me. While we were waiting for bus, Mr has this Ezlink card, with his and Andy Lau picture on it. He asked little one, "Which one is daddy?" She pointed correctly. Second question: "WHO IS MORE HANDSOME!?" She pointed ANDY LAU!! MY GOD!! She knows how to see handsome guys!!! OMG!! Isn't she clever! and HONEST! Haha. Third question: "Who do you like?" She pointed Daddy. SO SWEET! Really make me laugh especially the second question. Think one day I should try myself with another actress. Hahaa.. i wonder who she will point. haha.

Hopefully I will post some photos by this weekend! Haha. Now slogging in office, O.T!

Chloe made progress!!

Time really flies, and with a blink I am back to work and holiday had ended.

Yesterday I had my first MCSE class, suddenly with acute pain in stomachache which leads to diarhoea. I bear for half an hour before I dare to step out of the class to go toilet, during break time, I sat on the toilet bowl while the others went for a drink. How sad. Thought of going home, but I am afraid to miss the class, ended up I stayed back until 10.30pm while Mr came to fetch me home with Bao Ji Wan. So nice. But I am still in pain this morning, no choice, got to go class tonight as well. REN REN REN!

Long weekends was nice, but busy as well. Friday supposingly to go to Marina Barrage with Chery and family and Ber as well, timing set was 11.30am, Haha but we were late for about 30mins due to late back home from Qing Ming. When we reached there, was pretty sunny and hot, and Ber told us that it was going to storm if we don't get here now over sms! Obviously he was lying! Haha.. But also sorry to all of them that they had to wait for us. But lucky we got the triumph card with us, CHLOE! Haha.

Chloe had fun running around the viewing gallery, and kept wanting to hold Charmaine's hands to walk around instead of my uncle's. LOL. My uncle was so sad. They love Chloe so much. We left the gallery about 45mins later, Chloe spoted one little girl who was taller than her, older than her, yet she wanted to make frens with her and shake her hands. But the little girl seemed to be frightened by Chloe. Haha. Next action made us all laugh and figuring what she was trying to do, she stood infront of the girl, and blocked her way, don't let her walk away. Ended up, the girl was so scared, she ran back to her dad, leaving Chloe fell on the floor due to "support" ran away. LOL. The bullier.

Cheryl and family left earlier as Char has tuition, so sad, thought we could have lunch together. We brought Chloe to the water playground to play. Beginning, she was so scared, or maybe she act only, later she had fun playing, luckily she was not like those kids, who will scream and shout and parents have to drag them out from the water to get changed. LOL. Followed by a nice Sakae Sushi lunch at Suntec. We had fun chatting, and exploring my D90 with Ber. What a fruitful day, but till now, I still had no time to do post processing on those photos taken.

Sat was her class again, this time, Mr went in with her while I enjoyed my book reading at Mac. When it was time, I waited outside the class for them, and I can hear chloe's shouts and screams! Haha.. When the door opened, she was the first to come out and grab a sticker from teacher. Haha. During the walk to fetch the vehicle, Mr told me that Chloe performed very well on the IQ questions, choosing the right colours to the questions, and also mentioned that she do not dance this time, all the goods and bads, while Chloe kept very still to listen to our conversation Haha. When I asked her she good girl, she immediately say she GOOD. When I asked her she got noti in class, she kept quiet. Haha. Hopefully this sat she will made more progress, this time she got 4 stars compare to the last time 3 stars! Great job! Sun, I had a great few hours nap together with Chloe. Really was too tired, didn't slept well on Sat night, Chloe kept waking up making noise, and each time I got to put her pacifier in her mouth, think got about 10 times. Zzz..

Now awaiting for weekends to come again, I gonna miss my D90 till Thurs, until my class ends. :(

Photos will be up next blog.

16 months Chloe.

Will future weekends gonna be this busy like the last? Is this the beginning of a real hectic weekends for parents with kids?!

I am now still at work, waiting to run some server stuffs at 7.15pm, supposed to be on MC today since yesterday afternoon, but I came back to work in the afternoon since I got things to run and not to "degrade" my boss' impression of me, MC Queen. Haha, recently whenever I went to the doc, the doc will sure give me 2 days MC, am I really that weak?! I guess I just not enough rest due to hectic weekends I always have. Sometimes I missed the slacky weekends I used to have. :(

Now thinking back of our weekends with Chloe, OH YES! Was her first lesson at Schicida! We were early, so we thought to grab a fast food lunch, who knows ended up we were late. When Chloe and I entered the classroom, they were writing their child's name on the observation book which records their progress on each lesson. We quickly took a seat, not long, the teacher started with a Japanese Hello song to warm up the kids. Of cos, Chloe was stunned. But very fast, she was engaged in the first activity, of "blowing a candle" action. She was the first one to do it, PROUD OF HER. But next activity, was so embarrassed! The kids each had a set of "tools", they were supposed to "velcro-stick" the pictures that matches the piece of background, any exercise to do with such, she does not want to do. When the teacher was collecting back the materials, Chloe resisted! And even PINCHED the teacher!! OMG! She did it again for the second round of activity! I was super embarrassed! There were 5 kids, I only noticed the only girl who can sit throughout the lesson and do her work, she was GREAT! I seldom see such kids. Chloe not even interested in watching the program played on the TV, even if, was only a few seconds and she shouted wanting to get out of the classroom. During the whole lesson, I kept looking at the watch, thinking when will the lesson ends, I just too, wanna get out of there. Haha. But lucky towards the end, the teacher played a few songs, which held back Chloe and there she was holding 2 chairs, standing in the middle, DANCING, SWAYING left, right! At least something interests her!! And YES, only when songs played, she put effort in them. The last song she even stood on the table and dance, follow suit were the other parents too, but none of the kids can do what Chloe did! THUMBS UP! At least something made me proud and heave a sigh of relief before the lesson ended! It makes me think maybe I should just sign her up for music class instead of these enrichment classes. AND, AND, the next lesson this Sat, I have requested Mr to go in with the little devil. Haha, I cannot take it anymore, imagine I came out of the classroom SWEATING!! I was expecting Mr to come out WET this Sat since he is more prone to sweating than me! Haha.. Stay tuned for more Little Devil at Class episodes. LOL.

Sun was a super busy and tired day for me, only me. I got to wake up at 6.30am as my parents came to fetch me at 7am for qing ming. Went 3 places, Sin Ming, Whampoa, and Bishan, before I got home at 1.30pm to wash up to go to Allan's girl's one month at Yishun. By the time we reached there, is a long journey can! Was 3.15pm. Before we really settled down and ate, Mr reminded me that it was going to be 4pm soon, and we got to leave for our next appointment with agent to view house. Long journey back again! And we were late for 45mins can! I think he also sian of us, made him wait so long, always late, earn our money not easy ok! Haha. We saw one house that we both quite like, but just hard to make our decision whether to buy it, on 20th floor, superb view, can oversee PSA and the sea, so meaning able to see fireworks. Priced at 445k. Now u know why it is a hard decision. But kinda excited as our dream of having our own home is coming soon..

My day ended at 9pm, K.O. Together with Chloe.

Looking forward to this Friday! Holiday! Has planned a trip down to Marina Barrage with family and relatives and also, Chloe's Godpa, Ber! My first time bringing out my D90!! Hurray! Must take this chance to bother and keep asking questions to Ber! Hahaha.. Dun say me a nuisance hor!!

Shh.. Mummy is reading.

Another busy weekends.

At least Sat I got to sleep abit more, while Binte look after Chloe. Usually I will wake up and play with her but this time round, I am dead beat tired. Just need a little rest more. Fri night we all had fun playing with D90 and taking pictures. The shots was not really well-taken, still abit blurry, but we all had laughters doing the shots. Mr do have a better talent than me, honestly, and he was so proud of himself to take pretty nice composition of the shot.

Sat evening after Mr came back from RT, we wanted to down to OG people's park to collect pots before heading down to Novotel for Marvin and Stella's wedding. But ended up, we got "cheated" by the GPS and went one big round, we headed straight to the hotel and kena 2 ERPs. Zzz.. we missed one turn and we ended up infront of another ERP gantry, the time was 7:58PM. We actually waited outside of it for 2 mins for it to turn off at 8pm! Haha so fun! And we see other cars moving off the same time with us Haha. Cheapos!

It was nice seeing Marvin and Stella again, this time at their wedding to see their dream came true, and Stella can start to make her own baby after liking Chloe ever since she was born. Haha. And she told me too, she is a loyal fan of Chloe's blog! Haha.. and asked me to update more.. LOL. I was abit regret not bringing Chloe along to the wedding, as I did not know they kept a seat for her, but maybe we shouldn't bring her along, in case she made noise, cannot sit still, and after all, we did enjoyed the dinner!! After dinner, I went to "my first ever stepped into Mustafa"! Mr suggested, hoping I can buy my UV filter and camera bag at a cheaper price, ended up, they didn't sell both of the items there. But anyways, ah neh smell not so strong in some areas, while some
areas I walked did made me feel like vomiting. :( Maybe I will not go there anymore unless necessary. Haha. Left the place about 12midnight. Sleepy.

Sun morning was the "big day" which I waited for 2 months. We are going for our family shoot at NByN! Before a few days, I kept reminding the small one we are going to take pictures and she must smile and shake the cameraman's hands, and she replied me "OK". But she did not keep her promise! Mummy was so sad! In the beginning when the makeup artist was helping me to makeup, Chloe don't allow her to, and hit her! Each time the makeup artist touch my face, she will hit her. Haha. She even commented Chloe so clever. Zzz! She is just being cheeky can!

When it was our turn, cameraman wanted Chloe to take individual photo first, so me, Mr, my bro and gf tried so hard to make her smile, but she didn't! She just concentrated to play the toys available to her! OMG! We were so "hot" from making her smile. In the end, she took the most number of photos, and out if it, only minimal amount she gently smile and one of it she made her favourite cheeky pig face! Really salute to her! I hope the cameraman did not get scared by her! But overall, all the photos turn out NICE!

We headed to Sim Lim after collecting our pots from OG. At last I bought my Hoya UV filter and blower at Alan photo @ Sim Lim. In the shop, behind me was a lady. I told Chloe to shake hands and say hello. You know what she did?! She stretched out her hand, and the lady of cos, went to shake her head, and next, Chloe went to pinch the lady's fingers!! She did for a second time of her little trick! The third time, I told her cannot do this, the lady wanted to hi-five, Chloe scratched the lady's palm! What a little monster! But the lady and her hubby I suppose tot it is funny, but it is not to me lor.. What happen if she go to school! I cannot imagine.. CRY. And yes, I bought my Lowepro Flipside 200 bag from Orient Photo @ Sim Lim. Hehe. Now I am almost complete
except for a dry box and cleaning cloth.

My arms are aching today from yesterday's carrying the little monster around Sim Lim while Mr searched for his cable needed by his boss. I am looking forward to this Sat, Chloe's new enrichment class is going to start, stay tuned to see if she will play traunt in class! And Sunday to Allan's girl's one month! Hmm.. I wonder to bring my camera ornot.. Haha..

PS. I almost threw away my wedding ring. This morning, I brought down a bag which I wanted to give away to Salvation Army and dumped it beside a rubbish bin. Then I walked away, during these 10 steps I walked, the tot of my wedding ring came to my mind, as previously I kept thinking where is my wedding ring but I didn't give it a find. I walked back to the rubbish bin and searched the bag again! I found my ring! I was damn lucky to walk back, Thanks to God who gave me the idea to walk back, else byebye to my expensive ring and a scolding from Mr. :)
