It's been a long time...

It's been 2 years since I last updated my blog. I am definitely hooked on facebook and that caused me to get lazy to write on my blog. Still I believe that blogging is necessary for me to put my reflection and memories of my boys and people dear to me hoping that someday they will reflect and remember the events in our life.

So much had happened over these years and yet we thank God for seeing us through every seasons and bringing us closer as a family and as children of God. Half a year has gone by and while there may be many challenges, I trust God will bind us as one and follows us through the days of our life for we serve a good and faithful God.

I was so glad when I saw these "piggy-bank" which I immediately bought 4 for my boys (should have brought 2 more for myself and Adrian..sigh)....

I love it as it has 3 different compartments so I labelled them (1) Tithes (10% of their allowance to be saved) (2) Faith Pledge (3) own saving. With this, I hope they will not need to always open out their "piggy-bank" to count their "money"



I brought the boys to the science centre on 16 June 2011 and at the end of the day, I told Joel to write down what he has learn from the trip and this was what he drew on my Ipad:)

Time flies and 4 weeks of June holiday is coming to an end soon. We spent most of the days outdoor and we had great time together. I really treasures every moment together and my heart desires are that even when the school terms start, I pray that I will not be stress over their exams (& not stress them too ) and not push them accordingly to the education systems. Hope we will continue to have a well balanced lifestyle with God as our Anchorage.

New Year...New Beginning

We are filled with thanks-giving and are grateful for God faithfulness in seeing us through 2008.

On 2 Jan, Friday, it was the first day of school for Jonathan (P3) and Jeremy who is entering P1 this year. Jeremy is filled with much anticipation and joy of being able to attend school with his Kor Kor. On the 3rd day of school (6 Jan), he wanted to make a phone call to me during his recess time. Unfortunately he took such a long time to queue and by the time it was his turn, it was time for him to line up for class....sigh....Well, he did manage to call me everyday during recess time. He will talk about what he has eaten, what happened in class and who he met in school. It bring comfort to me that he does remember me even when he is in school. That's very sweet of him....

Joel attended school on the 2 Jan and he was as usual very confident and happy to meet his friends and teacher. No problem for him to settle down in his new class in K1. He was told to take care of Joshua who is attending Pre-N in his school. In fact through the days, I noticed that he is very responsible and caring towards Joshua. On 8 Jan, (thur), Joel was anxiously looking out for Joshua after school without knowing that Joshua has returned home earlier then him. When I fetched him from school that day, he asked:

Joel :"where is Joshua, I cannot find him?"

Mummy : "At home?"

Joel : " I keep looking for him but cannot see him!!!"

This happened on the 9 Jan (Friday) and Joel's replied "No Fair, remember I need to take care of him.

As for Joshua, the first 2 days was still ok for him as I was around with him in the class. However he was very sticky with me and refused to let any teachers talk, touch or even sit close to him....sigh......

On the 2nd day of school, while he was following the rest of his friends to the toilet, suddenly he started to look for me. The moment he can't see me, he started to cry and even vomited...."Faint"......I wonder how will he and myself cope when parents are not allowed in the classroom from next week onwards. These thoughts really break my heart.

Since I was not able to follow Joshua into his class, I asked Joel to accompany and stay with him for awhile thinking that with his brother around he will feel more at ease. Sigh...he still cried. In fact the teacher told me it was not a good idea to ask Joel to accompany him because when Joshua cried and asked for "mummy", Joel will comfort him and cry with him. That's very sweet of Joel..

How's times passed. It's been almost 2 weeks since Joshua attended school and he is improving everyday. He still cry whenever he sees his school but at least now he allows his teacher to take over and carry him. He didn't cry and in fact enjoys himself during his 3 hrs in class. Well done Joshua.

Looking at these photos, they just sadden my heart to see how fast my boys had grown. They are such adorable boys even though they continously drain me up much of my energy.

Minestones of our little one

Joshua has turned 2 in Nov; he is really growing fast...Soon he will be a Big Boy, going to pre-nursey in 1 week's time.

He has begun to speak in 3 words sentences and the words that he speaks now are ...

- This our home

- Goodnite mama

- I want rice

- I want shee shee

- I want na na

- I want sleep

-Papa car

-Mama car

- Playground

- see saw

-Motor

-Helmet (pronounced as Ha-met)

- No money

- School

- Home

- Work

He enjoys eating rice, egg, banana, honey star, noodles and prata. He is very cheeky and lovable . He is very passionate and kisses us with no boundary. He is able to comprehend all instructions and following them.

I am also proud to say that he is progressing well regarding his toilet training. He is diaper free in the day time and only wear training pant when we are out. He is able to call out to us when he wants to pass urine and is extremely proud of himself when he is being praised.

His FIRST Bus & Mrt rides.....

During the dec school holiday, I brought Joshua for his FIRST BUS and MRT ride to Plaza Singapura. He was very happy and curious by the passing trains. As expected, he was well behaved during the journey and we had fun together that day.

He is learning fast and really amazes us all the time with his responses and progress. We are treasuring every moment of his growing up days before he enters into Primary school like all his Kor Kor. We love you boys....

Surprise ....Surprise !

Christmas is just around the corner and just like the others, we were at Taka today to join the last minute shopping. While I was busy queuing up for payment, my dear Adrian went to get me a little surprise just before Christmas : Let that a look ...

Ok.....Christmas Day should have presents just like the others right???? So Adrian assure me that there'll be a Christmas present for me....HaHaHaHa.....


My boys, Jonathan and Jeremy also did up some "Christmas book" (named by Jonathan) for me. How's sweet they are even at times they "suck" my blood !!!!

Thank you dear boys and hubby for your thoughtfulness :)

I'm One year older.......

Well...after all the birthday celebrations for my 4 boys and my dear hubby, finally it's my turn to blow the candles.......Yes....I'm one year older........34 years old to be exact :)

My hubby brought me for a romantic dinner at Indulgz. They serve European Cuisine and the food was delicious. We had a simple dinner chatting and enjoying some quiet moments together.

Thank you Dear :_)

Super Diaper Baby

Jonathan and Jeremy have created their own version of the Super Diaper Baby comic. They will spent their free time drawing the cartoons and penning down the story line for their comics.

Jonathan : Our story begins as a car is speeding to the hospital.

Sesame street

Hippy.....Our Korea and Hong Kong trip is finally confirmed...

After settling our payment for our trip...(broke****) we made our way to Marina Square for dinner. While we were there, the boys were excited as there was a Sesame Street Live Show which they managed to complete the whole show.

Well, after watching the show, our Joshua is able to recognise and say "Elmo" clearly.(He is able to speak more words now) He was smiling away when I claimed a Elmo bag for him.

Look at the crowd !

Daddy, Joshua and Joel...trying to get a good spot....

Madagascar 2

This week is the start of the school holiday for the boys, so I brought the 3 boys to watch the movie MADAGASCAR ESCAPE 2 AFRICA.

We had lunch at Pastamania where the boys enjoyed their pasta . They enjoyed the movie and Jeremy couldn't stop talking to Adrian about the movie when he came back from work in the evening. Anyway, it's a pity Daddy is not able to join us this time.

A New beginning

How time files....today (15 Nov 09) I brought our Lao Er, Jeremy ,for his P1 orientation in his new school. I know he is proud and excited as he is embarking into a new journey to his Kor kor's school. He is always very proud and envious of his Da Ge and his school .

When we arrived at the school hall, he was shy but very steady and independent. I then left him to the care of the prefects on duty and his new teacher, Ms Ho. I felt a sense of loss as I sat behind looking at him. See how much he had growth ! He is no longer a kid who attends kindergarden but is going to a primary school.....where there's exam and importantly, he will spend half of his time away from me and home. It's a great change for me and himself. I hope we will be able to adjust well.

I received a notification on Joel and Joshua orientation for 2009.....Our little one has just turned 2 and he's going to SCHOOL next year....pre-nursery while Joel will be in K1 next year. All my boys are growing up fast and I am really treasuring every moment I have with them before you know, they are already young men.

Joshua is 2 !

We celebrated Joshua's 2nd birthday on sunday (his actual day falls on thurs, 13 nov) as Adrian will be away to Germany for a week.

We brought the boys to Swensen's café Restaurant for a dinner and then to Toys 'R' Us where the birthday boy was free to choose his birthday present. Guess what. Jos was very happy with his Thomas the Train tent which he chose by himself..

We ordered a Thomas the Train cake for Joshua as he enjoys looking at trains, cars and motorbikes. He was very excited when he first saw his birthday cake. Jonathan and myself were glad that we had chosen the correct design for him. Our little one was "blur" .....thinking "what's going on" ... when we put him into his seat and getting ready the candles for his cake. I guess he finally understood that it was his birthday when we all sung the birthday song/s for him.

He was very excited and all of us enjoyed the chocolate cake after that. He has grown well and it's really such a joy to have 4 wonderful and loving boys.

Happy Birthday Joshua...

We Love You..!

We are sorry mummy !

My 3 boys made their mummy...that's me...very angry....again....! Initially the boys were very happy that their daddy is unwrapping a new toy car for them...but without my permission. All this happened after they saw some model racing cars at East Coast Park and they became excited. When the 2 boys refused to share their new toys with Joel, Adrian immediately found the racing car which I have kept well and unwrapped it for Joel so that he will stop crying. Well, of course I am angry because I felt that this is not the way to handle the suitation. They were scared when they noticed that I were angry and immediate asked their daddy to keep the car. Knowing they were in trouble, they quickly went into action and got these done for me. They passed it to me in a flash and ran back to their room. When I saw it, I was smiling inside but still put on a angry face outwardly. Whatever, they are very sweet..........and .......They are my boys.......
