Just love them!

It was Matt's 11th birthday yesterday and we originally arranged for tennis and swimming at the club with some good friends. Too bad the weather played pranks and we had to change our plan. Kids ended up playing WII/PSP at home, while parents chatted the afternoon away. Simple activities, simple food, but great company. The rain didnt dampen our spirits. =)

Sent the kids to bed around 950pm. They were still very excited and fooling around. Especially our birthday boy. Nevertheless, they needed to turn in in order to wake up fresh next day. Put them in bed before I went for my shower. When I returned at 1025pm, they were still awake! They claimed that they were waiting for 1029pm, the boy's exact birth time! So daddy and mummy relented and joined them. Finally we sang the birthday song for him again at the exact time. It was really sweet.:) Then they went back to bed at last.

Was watching a drama series with hub when we heard some rustling outside our room door around 1130pm. Got up and found a piece of paper slipped thru under the door. Picked it up and the note just sent me laughing non-stop........














They are just so funny! with such a cute note, how not to accede to their request? haha...=>

自闭？还是身心俱累？

最近发觉自己越来越不喜欢出门，就连每星期上一次巴刹都能拖就拖。有时甚至拖到冰箱里空无一物了，才仓促地到巴刹像wholesale那样，买足一、两个星期份量的鱼肉鸡虾。总之就是能不出门的话，就尽量不踏出去。

也不记得最后一次和朋友聊电话是几时了？好像是上个月中吧？不过这道无所谓啦，反正也不爱讲电话。每天对着孩子们唠唠叨叨的，听自己的声音都听腻了！反而有点渴望自己的声带再发炎，然后再＂失声＂几天，那该多好？嘿嘿。。。mad right？

也许有点儿累吧？去尝试一下，每天从早到晚对着三小两老，念念念，念的都是一样的东西、同样的事物。看你累不累？

OK， don't worry，我的心应该还好啦。至少最近做的心电图显示一切正常咯。其他器官也无大碍。那么就是脑子有问题咯？？oh dear！

好啦、好啦，不发牢骚了。免得又有人要说我身在福中不知福了！很冤的！=(

后记，我是很知足的，不然就不会结婚生子，把一生奉献给我家这四个＂男人＂了！

so，是自闭吗？

He and all his questions

Was having breakfast with Nic this morning. Suddenly he raised a very funny question. "Mummy, why sometimes the government will give a new heart to bring the dead people back to life again?" I went "HUH? what? what do you mean?" He continued, "you remember? we went to papa Ng's house and we watched on TV? they went to collect a new heart and then they put the heart into the dead man and bring the man back to life?"

OMG! Now I know what he meant. Amazingly, he remembered this show we watched at his brothers' godparent's house in Feb!! It was about this team of doctors harvesting a heart from a brain-dead man to fly it to another city to save a man suffering from heart failure. And this little rascal actually remembered the whole thing and suddenly wanted to clarify his doubts. haha...

So I went on to explain to him that it wasn't the govt that's bringing a dead man to life. The man wasn't dead, just very ill and needed heart transplant to survive. And the heart came from a healthy man who've died suddenly due to accident or other reasons. And the family members of the dead man must consent before the doctors can harvest the heart and make sure the blood type matches the ailing man before they can transplant it. That kind of satisfied his curiousity and he went off to do his things.

And this is not the first time he asked something about 'government'. haha... last month when H1N1 first started and suspected cases were quarantined at Aloha Loyang. His dad cycled him to the beach and they passed by the chalets. His dad told him that was the place where the people were quarantined and they cant go anywhere. Suddenly he asked his dad this question, "Will the people who are quarantined be angry with the government?" =) His dad was totally dumbfounded by his question. haha...

This boy is funny. Very inquisitive and curious. Will be good if he is less stubborn, then he'll probably do better than his brothers.

So proud of him!

Before school closed last term, Drew was nominated for prefect selection. We were really happy for him, but I was, as usual, not so confident of him getting thru the selection interview. This boy is just too nonchalant and sometimes still a little too kiddy. Anyway, he went for the interview and felt confident about it.

Today he called me while I was at Nat'l Eye Centre with dad. He's been selected!! He sounded really excited about it and when I told hub, he was ecstatic! We're really proud of him. He'll hv to go through some training before he'll assume prefectorial duties. We hope this extra responsibility will make him more mature and keep him on his toes with his studies and behaviour.

Son, we're very proud of you. Keep up the good work and live up to your teachers' expectations. We love you.

are people really getting so self-centred?

on the way to fetch Nic, I walked pass Blk 510's void deck. A rubbish bin on the opposite end of the letter box was on fire! Not sparks or smoke, but a small fire was burning in the bin! Immediately I called 995 and asked them to send someone down.

While I was calling the fire brigade, I saw curious children looking and running away quickly. I saw adults passers-by, looked, frowned and walked away. I saw returning office workers passed by, looked shocked but then proceeded into the lift to go home. At least 5-6 pple passed, but no one stopped to even think if there's anything they could do to put out the fire. What's wrong with these pple?

I ran across to the sch gate to get Nic. Checked his water bottle and he still had 1/2 bottle of water left. So we ran back to the bin and I poured all the water into the bin. The fire was put out, but there were still some sparks on those papers in the bin. About 5mins later, a red rhino came. The firemen checked the bin and sprayed some foam into it to prevent any possible re-ignition.

Just feel that pple are getting really self-centred (or is it self-absorbed?). The person responsible for the fire only thot of his/her own convenience, without thinking of consequences. And those passers-by were not willing to stop and help even though it's happening so close to home. Do we hv to wait till it's really serious, like half a house is burning, before pple are willing to stop and help? sigh...

Nic was so cute. After dinner he asked to go back there again bcos he wanted to check to make sure the fire did not start again. Love him.

你是啥形象？

Dear friend, Adel, forwarded an 'image' quiz "你是啥形象？" and I tried it out. This is my result:

你是属于草香形象

你拥有非常坚强的意志，不依赖他人，给人独来独往的印象。你拥有旺盛的好奇心与丰富的感受性，是个过着知性生活的现代人。骤看下你是个自命清高，不好相处的人，但是一旦跟你交谈后，就知道你很好相处，等到交情加深之后，就更知道你其实拥有很爽快的个性。

你所拥有的中性化魅力，让你不论在男性团体或女性团体都大受欢迎，不过你不喜欢让人看到你脆弱的一面。你外表上看来也许很冷静，但实际上却是热情如火。能够知道你真正本性的人，才能够跟你天长地久地交往下去。

so my friends, you tell me this is true or not? I would say it's 80-90% la. hee...

孩子毕竟还是孩子

十三岁的坐在车里，用手假装机关枪向外扫射，嘴里还哒哒哒的装样！？是好笑还是好气呢？

十一岁的最近被一些事吓着了，晚上老是找借口到我房间睡，还得我握着他的手陪他才睡得着！望着他睡觉的样子，让我想起几天大的他在医院里，我守在他床边半忧半喜的心情。他还是我那可爱的baby！
