My kids (Oct 2011)

Hi.. I think i should update all in one post. Made the works easy!

We went to the beach at Sg Batu, Penang on Sept, 2011. It's Yang kiddy function. Too bad Mann didn't follow because she just recover for fever. Bring her to the beach is not a good idea. Jing and Yang having fun at there. Mummy and Tanz just sat under the tree and SAW the other kids playing around. Promised the kids will be there again and MUST bring Mann together.

Jing (8 yo and 5 mths)

Really a challenge for me! Her life just marks and competing, That's all! I wonder should I stop her to go to school? Away from those negative influence?

Yang (just reach 6 yo)

Having his birthday celebration at kiddy. He's happy that i bought him a Angry Bird's birthday cake. Then ho... no photo was taken, because i forgot to bring along the camera. Hm... let the sweet memory kept in his mind la!
Seem like he really HATES homework, he will refuse to do even need to write only 3 lines of sentences. yer... Headache!

Mann (2 yo and 3 mths)

hu... Now she really knows how to made simple sentences. Not consider speech delay. She is without any nappy during day time now,so more works for the whole family to remind her to go to toilet. Night, sorry mummy can't woke up lo.

Tanz (14 weeks) Weight:5.2kg Height:59cm

Yes, she is free from jaundice now since 10 weeks old,means no more to and from clinic every weeks. Yippy!
She increased 1 kgs in a mth.Not bad ha?!
Her head getting strong now. She can recognize her name and will search for it when you call her name.
She wants grandpa to carry when she noticed he is around. Will cry even cranky just because want to ask grandpa to carry. To where? jalan-jalan whole kampong! hehe...

Mummy (me la) is a SAHM now. Having enough time to breastfeed the little one. No more pumping, sterilize, keep, arrange, reheat... breast milk. Feel so GREAT now!! Daddy - busy bee!

My kids (Aug 2011)

MOST IMPORTANT THINGS - THE ELDER LOVES TANZ. HAPPY, RIGHT?

Jing. 8 yr and 2 mths.

I found that she's kept "changing". Never show any interested in any matter. Ah... the Malaysia education system did "trained" her like that. Everything, wait and the answer will "fly" to her! But one thing is good, she still done very well on her homework, no need mummy to keep call and call, just the same thing, very ugly writing. It's all my fault, when she is young i told her wrote in propel and right way enough.

Yang. 5 yrs and 10 mths.

Stickied to mummy only, like super glue! After delivered Tanz, more shows to watch. Even in kiddy he can cry looking for mummy... Cry every night,cause need to do his homework lo. He still not really strong at his wrist yet, so still facing writing problem. Need more trainings.

Mann. Reached her 2 yr old at 3 July!

But since I am in confinement so just had a small celebration for her. I bought her a new dress and daddy got her a new toy. She first very happy with her cake, but when asked to blow her cake, she's scared! May be due i kept on telling her fire is dangerous.
She is now can speak to combine 2 different words and trying to made sentences by using main words only. Basically i can understand lo. But... she's used pacifier so a bit "chao leng tai". LOL
She's love to sing. Now can sing half of Twinkle Twinkle Little Star (in English and Mandarin), Wa Wa Guo （娃娃国）and Ke Ren Lai (客人来）.
She behaved very well even i delivered Tanz. So lucky I am!

Tanz. 6 weeks.

Weight:4.2kgs. Length: 53cm.
She knew how to smile! And when she is awake, she will look for someone to talk, sing and play with her. She will give you a very nice and beautiful smile! She love to sleep on someone arm. She can sleep for N hour if is on someone arm or beside mummy. Headache! I can't do any works!
Still breastfeed, very well. This moo mummy is feeding on her demand so never know how much she need and the time gap between 2 feeding. This few night, she's too full till she vomited!
She still jaundice, reduced very slow. But never mind, confirmed is breast milk jaundice. Since the level still above 200umol/L, so will wait till 6 weeks old then only allow to inject for Hep B jab.

Hubby and I - we are happy with the present of 4 kids! no 5??? LOL hubby is sweating!!!

Chicken Farm!

Hey! I just graped the chance to go to a commercial chicken farm at Tasek last 2 weeks. Oh yes, with my 2 elder kids, Jing and Yang.

It's 1pm in the noon and the Sun is above us. But this never stopped my kids!

Actually I just want to meet a friend at McD Auto City, then the officer in charge asked me whether want to follow them to chicken farm. I asked my kids and sure la never say NO. Both my kids didn't follow my car, they prefer to follow my friend with bus. mmm...

We arrived at the chicken farm around 230pm. The weather was very good (not a rainy day.) but it's HOT!

It's a place out from town. At the side of Banjaran Tengah Malaysia. Very green.

You can see butterflies, dragonflies and lady bug too. See how clean that place is. This is a ayam kampung commercial farm. The chicken were allowed to move around when reached 1 month old. So you can see the chicken is running here and there.

Jing and Yang throw a question to me - why they hardly see lady bug around our home? Em... again need to explain on environmental pollution topic again to them. I kept educated them about how to grown in green but kid never understand if we, adult never show them. Their experience not much, very hard for them to made any imagination.

The farm was inside a oil palm estate. Usually estate will be full with grasses but having the chicken running around, the estate is clean! Surprise! The owner said never expect he can save money on cleaning off the boost.

Both my kids now know how a commercial farm look like. It's totally different from what they learn from book, chicken are not free running! And Yang knew the different between cock and hen now as Jing explain to him.

It's taken about 2 hours to finish the trip. Both of them so thirty! Bad mummy forgot to bring tumble together. hehe...

On the way back, both of them fall to slept la. My ears at least can have peace for a while.

Jing's Progress

She is 24kg only and 124cm tall.
Quite tall but too skinny, not enough food? May be. Or too stress?

She is 7 now. But think like 12 years old girl. Quite a lot of supposed mummy has to do things she will complete for me or start worry about it, including Yang's progress. That's why she is so stress, created she the tension!

She is a smart girl. I no need to call for her to review her study, do her homework, eat, bath, playing, reading... I only have reminded her to do her work. No shouting for her. I even stop checking for her homework, everything will be done perfectly.

Ok, she still monitor in her class as her form teacher said she can finish/complete her homework very soon so she can help her in many ways, like helping the other friends, carry books, etc. Teacher never tough her HOW to be a monitor, so normal way lo, she will shout to friends to ask them keep quiet. Then she started to write those "naughty” friends on the board and later teacher will punish them. All these made her friend “hate" her! She started to show her unstably behavior/bad temper since April. She is facing social problem with her friends now! She never knew how to express all these unhappiness and end up she fight a lot at home! Fight with the brother, sister even Ah Ma. So lucky that I got my transfer back to Bukit Mertajam and I can over seeing my 3 kids all by myself. Teach, guide, even share with them from now on. It's serious on my girl case! Almost every night she fights in anything’s!! Making me nut!

What should I do? I talk with her day care teacher about these and she also noticed it. So we came out with the conclusion, my Jing not only in a very stress situation but also she wants my attention! The first thought came in my mind; I am not a good mother! She’s understood what I have to do for Yang; I need more times for Yang and baby, and just I never care about how she feels. She stills a child and she needed my LOVE too. I just always think that she is a "little adult" to me. Poor Jing! Manage to talk with her in privately, she cried and cried and cried, and I promise her that I will always find some times for her and also want her to tell me that she needs my attention if she feels that I am less time for her. She stopped fighting with Yang now and can help me in guiding him to do some works too.

While, in her social part, I just told her my experience and I want her to think how to solve it by her. She can suggest the method and I will discuss with her. So far, she has solved most of the problems especially with her friendship part. Can you imagine what a miracle if I put myself down as a parent and talk with her like a friend!

Zoo Taiping on 14 March 2010

Yang with his favorite animal!



Stop raining liao, so faster faster shoot a phot of them.

Went to Zoo Taiping on 14 March 2010.

It's the Big Day of my colleague to get marry. She is an Indian, a Malayalam Indian (Pure Blood). For your information, nowadays Indian still followed what their parent said. The wedding was held in Taiping. So take the chance to go to Zoo Taiping and also visiting my auntie since I didn't join the family gathering past CNY.

Jing and Yang were so excited! After return from the wedding ceremony, both of them "automatically" request for lunch and go to bath! Because I said only can go after lunch and bath.

They jumped and jumped in the car on our way to zoo. It's so crowded! And now only I realized its school holiday! Then, it's started to rain. Of cause not a heavy rain la. First I decided to cancel the trip; I can see the disappointed "wrote" on Jing and Yang face! Hubby said waited for 10 minutes if the rain getting small then we goes. Both of them were so happy. Off cause the rain was getting small.

The ticket was so expensive! 2 adults and 2 kids cost RM40! Woo...

We didn't go with cruise because it's so crowded. So we walked.

First is Owl, wild cat, bird, lion (its roar! wah... so loud), tiger ... and Yang favorite animal - Giraffe. He even asked to take a photo with the giraffe too. Then, rhinoceros and hippo, I been arguing with him before about hippo and rhino. Here is the golden chance to show him how the two animals look different. And Yap, he knew it now! He even waited want to see the hippo, because it's rainy day hippo hiding in the water.

It's took us two hours to finish the whole trip! Hubby and I felt like kaki patah liao, but when look at Jing and Yang, its worse lo!

Where is Mann? She was with my mum at my auntie house.

Jing first day to school!

Jing is 7 this year! (Oh my God, time just flyyyy.....)

She is in Standard 1 now. She will be in Sekolah Jenis Kebangsaan (C). Chinese mah must learn Chinese lah!

Already 3 days in school, i found that she really can adapt herself in different environment very easily.

Day 1 -

Early morning she went to day care with aunty. Brabra...(activities in day care) 1230noon teacher send her to school and i wait her at the gate. She just said hi to me and hang me then went to hall by herself. (I am waiting for her manja to me, but none!) She Q up in her line. I went to her, took her photo and asked her a silly question - "Everything OK?". She asked me to go home! ( I am waiting for her manja lagi, but again NONE!)Then the principle brabra... I am still waiting for her... told myself will leave her after "watching" her arrived in her class. Then she went to her class and i left. Told her i be back during her reset time. ( i am waiting for her manja, asking me not to left, but NONE!)
Then i return before her rest time. I wait outside her class. And KPC Kiasu mummy went near to the window and snapped some "inthe class" photos. Hehe... She didn't noticed pun. Then the bell rang. Bring her and her friend to canteen, and i start tonag again - "I already paid the canteen aunty, she will serve you food everyday. You have to sit at the seat that already label with your name. You cannot buy any junk foods,vitagen, ice cream, biscuit... because sweet and high carbohydrate food will meke you feel; sleepy andyou can'tconcentrate in the class. Why high carbo and sweet food make you sleepy? because they will turn into glucose or sugar and you body need to use it, but you only sit in the class so the only thing to burn your extra sugar or glucose is to sleep. Understand? Oh... BTW, you have to finish you food include going to toilet in 15 minute only. Ok? " My Jing said:" Mummy this is the N time you told me. I know." and her friend gave a very weird look. Am I explain too "deep"? Show her where she need to go, and she just waulap everythings in 5 minutes (a plate of rice with 3 kind of vege. No sausage, egg and even fried foods). She was so excited because at last she found one thing that she can buy - the fruits. She knew i won't said can't lo. Then she ate a piece of papaya. She already finished 2 things but her friend not even finished her rice yet. Then still have time, they went to toilet. After settleher down in the class, I left. Still, didn't show her manja to me. "bye bye,mummy" she said.
Then i return at 5pm. Lucily i found my friend's friend to fetch her to my mum house. (During working day, i will be in Ipoh mah.) Can't believe to my FIL who said want to take of her,i wonder what will he gave my Jing as dinner. Sure after 3 days Jing will get sick la. Not because of he gave her bad food, but only gave Jing the food that she love lo - those foods that i won't gave to her lo. Then my Jing just followed aunty Soo to my mum house. Just like that!

Day 2 -
I am in Ipoh already. Back to work bacause need to attend a very important meeting. FIL promised will "visit" her belove grandchild in school during rest time and during go home time. He told me Jing very "steady" - she can go to canteen by herself, buy her own fruits after finish her foods. And even can go to the Koperasi to buy 2 exercise books. No need to worry about her. (I found out from my mum - Jing manja to her grandpa to get herself vitagen.) During going home time, FIL missed the time. He went to school too late and my Jing already on the way backto my mum house.

Day 3 -
"mummy, i am the class monitor!" She called me. Woo... my Jing... really not to worry her ho!


Look like 樱桃小丸子?


Ok la, still can understand and respone to teacher.

rhinoceros VS hippopotamus

My kids asked me to read them a book. So when i read till the page Animal in Grassland, there was a rhinoceros photo.

Yang:"Oh... hippopotamus!"
Jing:"No, it's rhinoceros!"
Yang:"No, you are wrong. It's o!"
Jing:"No. Mummy tell Yang what is it?"
Mummy:"Yang, Jie Jie is right. It's a rhinoceros. See, rhinoceros has horn on their face but not hippopotamus."
Yang:"I learn from school. Teacher said it's hippopotamus."

Mummy... Oh! So, he did learn something from school ha! I thought he just play only! hehe...
Em... What should i do... I search the whole book but can't find the hippopotamus picture. Ok, i surf on-line.

Mummy:"Yang, see here is the image of hippopotamus." Compare with the book, " See, the different between these two animals. Are they the same animal?"
Yang:"(took him 10 sec to compare.) Em... not the same animal."
Mummy:"This is rhinoceros and this is hippopotamus. ok?"
Yang:"OK."

Then he showed me his satisfaction face. What a kid!

Nice dress,but the price...

I wonder when i took this photos? Forgot!

Due to Jing had very less dress, so decided want to buy some nice nice, cute cute dress.

These dresses very nice and cute ho... But per piece is at least RM119.00!! so, at the end, buy nothing...

Painting

Both my kids love painting. Especially Jing. She has been asking me to buy the water color for year,just i don't think she is ready yet. But ho... she success to pursuit DH to buy for her when she went shopping with DH.



On Saturday,

Today, mummy is busy. Mummy need to go out to buy baby's things because it's Anakku sale day. I bring Yang together. When i returned... Jing is painting. Daddy said she wants to. (Actually ho, DH "lazy" to entertain her by read her a book, teach her in maths, play with her... I just knew it!) Then Yang want to join too. Both of them are first time "playing" with water colour.

Jing said DH draw her a view picture. (Ha? My DH can draw? What i knew was he always fail in act during secondary school.) But Jing still accept it.
Yang said he want a picture same as Jie Jie. I just draw for him la. But later he said he want a crocodile.

Here were their finished paint.

From Jing

Yang's crocodile

Both of them enjoy very much. What a peaceful afternoon for mummy and daddy! haha...

Yang vomited! But Jing is fine.

Aiyo... Mummy so tired but this lit' monster vomited on my bed last night!

He didn't have any appetite in these few days. He ate a bit only and refuse to drink water only wants something have taste.

Yesterday went to babysitter house, he ate a lot! Lit' stomach can't cope for it, so vomit la. But surprisingly he slept very very well last night.

This morning, when i was busy washing the bed sheet cover and blanket. i heard his sound...

"Mummy, Yang Yang still feeling not well. I don't want to go to school today. I want to go to aunty's house."

"ha?"

"I am very tired. My head pain (headache)and my legs too. I can't walk."

"...... OK."

Since he seem OK, but still have to monitor one more day.

I wonder why he complaint his legs pain? But wonder he was real pain or he creating it? Or may be because he didn't gained enough energy this few days? DH said must refer to doctor if he kept complaint leg pain. May be due to acid uric? Yang loves Broccoli and Dal curry.

Em... Jing was so tough. She can wake up at 630am last weekend following DH to "cheng beng". On Monday, still the same schedule - need to go to kindergarten as usual, AND without any complaint on here or there pain.

Why my Yang so weak? Babysitter said due to i am pregnant with daughter so the son will always fall sick. May be, i think.

Jing's progress-1

I just changed Jing to another kindergarten because the previous one tutup kedai! So sayang! I love the methods of that previous kindergarten but seem like in Malaysia almost 100% parents are kiasu type, that's why the number of student kept decreasing. :(
Jing's now is in a kindergarten that i think is less academic type. I hate homework's so do her. i told the principal that my girl no need a 100% prefect score on all subjects but please "make" her "love" more to books! That's all. Em... the principle seem not really agree with me! haha... but ho, the rest of kiddy... wah... some need Jing to sit for "enrollment exam" just because Jing enroll not from 3 years old! Can you imagine!
Keep call the principle how's my Jing progress. She said Jing need chach up on English, she is pushing her to read more on English story book.But no problem on Mandarin or Bahasa Malaysia. Ya lah... forgot to told her that Jing is on Manderin base kiddy previous. hehe... And she said Jing behave very good. Yes, Jing always so polite.
Monday Jing has Ejaan. She was so "happy and proud" to inform me she done it 3 wrongly. Haha... I never gave her any pressure on her academic, that's why she "felt" it's nothing wrong. But it's true, nothing wrong mah.
Homework? sure got lah. But my advice to her, do it correctly and must be fast. At home sure will have a lot excuse but in school very fast because teacher will scold, this is what she told me.
