Ryan is able to say “Mama” on 8 Nov 2009. perhaps he was able to say that earlier but i didnt think he was calling me. Thought that it’s just a sound he is making. But last weekend, it was obvious that he is calling out to me.

He is much faster than Rossi with regards to speaking etc. But his physical development is much slower.

Found and selected a helper. Waiting for more news. Keeping Fingers, Toes and everything CROSSED for the time being.

Me:   Do you like this auntie?
R1:    No.
Me:   But she will buy something for you, you know?
R1:    What?
Me:   Thomas the train? (ermm, i can only think of the train set i wanna get 2nd hand from the SMH forum)
R1:    Wah? Di di (R2) bought this for me, i have 2 sets already, i will have 1 more?
Me:  *Faint*

later in the night…

Me:   Do yo want this auntie Lovelyn?
R1:    *Nodding his head cos he is drinking his milk*
Me:   Why? is it cos she buy things for you?
R1:    Yes!

speak about practicality!

Update:

Helper gone back to agent… so pissed off when i saw her on fri evening… still dare to say sorry and smile at us… Ergggg… dunno how much trouble she has caused us and the stress that she kena harm by pple. ERGGGGG

*****

Gosh… i have enough of helpers… and i only have 2 in the past 1 year… enough to keep me pissed off… enough to be so mad with them… what is their problem? cant teach them, cant tell them off when they make mistakes, cant scold them etc… then why do they bother to come out to work?

honestly, we have treated the last one so nicely… brought her along to cameron highlands… she eat whatever we eat when we go out… till she is chubby now… bought clothes for her during hari raya… ERGGGGGG… too nice… should have put down our feet when we realise she is not here for the $… when we realise she ‘ran away’ from home cos her parents quarrel, thus come to singapore to work cos of that… when she keep asking to go back to her home or agent every month… when i have to ’sayang’ her even when i dun have time to even play with my own kids…

DUH… when she keep giving us ‘black face’ when we tell her off… when she dun even bother to talk to my MIL after she is scolded… r we employed by her or the other way around…

really have to pray hard…

Weather is getting hotter. Have been turning the airconditioning on cos we (the entire T,J, and 2Rs) cant have a good night’s sleep. Decked R1 with 3 tops and R2 with 2 tops, 1 sleepsack and 2 cap. This is how we go to the airconditioning ‘battlefield’… lol… hmmm, i shall take a pic and post it up… our sleep arrangement varies each night from different mattress on the floor to ‘accessories’ placed on the floor to prevent cold air from entering our bodies to preventing R1 & 2 from knocking their heads on the cupboard around the mattress… MIL and helper are exasperated each night…

worried… the climate changes is really taking its toll on everyone… on my MSN beside my nick, i put the comments – fated… God always has yr path laid out…” … A close colleague saw this and commented that this is not fair… Cos the bad things that is happening now to us is definitely not done by God…. cos people are suffering…. she has a point there… the bad things that are happening is caused by us… =P cos of our greed, ignorance etc etc etc…

But lol, i put my comment there as a positive note of what is going on in my life right now… things are falling into places… Mummy Knows Best is still going tough… i am still not having enough time on my hands to do alot of things… am really doing a balancing act… R2 is down with cough at the moment think cos i passed it to him… sighz… am also helping to do ‘pineapple decorations’ for the prayer hall charity bazaar… 1 pineapple a day is the max that i can do cos i only do this on the MRT on my way back home… sighz…

Lately i have been thinking if i am neglecting R1… cos i am not spending as much time with him… when i return home in the evenings, i will nurse R2 cos he will be ‘chasing’ me for milk…

After viewing Vegepiglet’s blog, seeing baby Elanie doing so well, reading etc… me feel so guilty.. so guilty that i have not been playing with ross… guilty that i have not been reading to him etc… cos have been bring R2 to the doc in the evenings…

will start to read to him tonight… must do up a time table… R2 understands what we say already… thus, will try to read to them…

hugs to myself… just have to find a balance… BALANCE…

cant wait for some MY time in dec when R1, Mr Chin and MIL are going away… some RYAN time… blessing in disguse… i can use that period to bond and care for R2 and to do things that i wanted to do…

Ryan is TEETHING!!! hehehe… finally… sighz… he is ultra slow in everything… yes, including teething… but =) hey, he is doing well for a first time teether… i hope this will last till all his bb teeth are out… =P

but he is nursing like mad at night… am so tired… erggg…esp these days when the weather is so hot… thus, no choice but to turn on the air conditioning at night… however, negative side to this is that we are so sensitive that we will wake up in the morning sneezing… sighz…

R2 is getting cuter… he is able to wink both his eyes and shake his head or nod his head… lol… so cute… he understands “clap hands” in both eng and mandarin… lol…

he knows when i tell MIL that i am going downstairs to get something and coos for me till i return…

Orhhh, ryan… may u be blessed with good health always… hugs…
