what baby does in class...

yo...

just a short note on baby... in class, ^_^ her weekend enhancement class...

after the class,

her teacher came out and chiitchat with me,

she told me 2 things...

she said, when they talked about cupcakes,

baby's classmate, edward said, he wanted a cupcake,

and guess what my precious responded?

she actually told him that, "my mother bought cupcakes for me, I give you...!!!" @_@

(no I feel obligated to give her friends cupcakes huh??? ^_^)

then,

the teacher let them do some colouring,

colour the mountain,

we saw the picture before the teacher updated me,

background, brown,

mountain, purple...

see? that's how much my baby loves purple...

the teacher mentioned that,

she asked baby why the mountain's brown? (actually, i don't know what a mountain's colour should be... maybe I'll put brown too...)

and baby answered, "when it's dark, the mountain will look brown...",

the teacher laughed,

cos, maybe at this age, not many kids will respond such "sensibly"...

I guess, in a way, I'm proud on whatever she could answer,

maybe she's just saying whatever that comes into her mind,

but then, at least, in my opinion, she knows what she's doing...

as I've always told her,

you don't do things, or say things that you can't explain why...

(don't argue with me on that, we all know that, there's always a reason, be it being stupid reason, or not shareable reason, behind our speech, behind our action, maybe we don't know how to put it in words, but then, there IS a reason...)

ya, that's how she's in the class,

seems like she pretty much enjoys her schooltime, and weekend classtime...

good...!

In and out, and out and In...

Yep… my schedule's been "rescheduled"…

As baby's attending school now….

For the past 3 years and 10 months, I've been able to sleep, till the sun shine on top of your head, and both of us would only get out of bed…

Then, gabu joined our boat…

Previously, he's his biological clock, and got up like 9am,

Later, he grows up, and he becomes playful,

Big sis doesn't want to sleep, he doesn't want to doze off either, and the result is,

He ends up going to bed as late as baby…

So, he get up, as late as baby too…

^_^

Anyway…

So, now, I've to get up at 7am,

Class starts at half 8…

The other day, just the other day,

When both are sick,

So, up,

Out of the house,

Back to the house with no.2,

Out of the house again to pick up no.1,

Then, back ot the house, to have lunch, and make them rest for a while,

Waiting for doctor to reopen the clinic,

Out of the house again to clinic, ended up around half 5 only we're done,

So, in and out the car too,

I told him, I'll pack dinner,

In and out and out and in, and in and out…

Then, we're home,

Eat dinner…

Rest,

Too tired,

Then, no.2 somehow gets sicker, (in fact, it's no.1 who needs doctor's attention)

After no.1 slept,

He cried, got up, I took him out of the room,

Yuek!!!!!!!! Vomited!

Ooh…

What a night…

Cleaned up,

Put him to sleep again, he's too tired, yep, forgot to mention, he's fever too…

Then, he slept, I came out to clean the floor again,

My head's spinning…

Ooh… something's not right…

Next day, ie. this morning,

Out and in,

After back in to the house with no.2,

I held him on my lap, nurse,

Both fell asleep…

Soundly!!!

I'd a good rest…

And yes,

It's the time of that monthly thing…

Ghee...

Black Hair Day

yep... today, i went for hair-colouring,

eversince...

eversince... the day i first coloured my hair, my mother left us... road accident,

since then, i've been quite skeptical about colouring my hair...

anyway, this year, i kinda wanted a change, and there's a BIG reason,

our best best best closest friend's getting married...

i know, not that anybody really cares, except him, and me myself,

but then, yep, i take this pretty seriously, at least, gloom myself a little bit,
to attend his wedding dinner...

(i told the friend directly, i feel that, my son's getting married, haha, i was not taking advantage on him, but than, that's how close we are, as friends...)

another reason is that, all these while, there've been some skeptical comments like, hair colourant caused cancer and so on,

if you're pregnant, if you're breastfeeding, don't colour your hair, bla bla bla...

it's just like those "real or not real?" type of thing, which keep wondering in many people's heads...

eg. is the radation in japan, or near tokyo, still really, IS a health-hazard thing, is that really a concern anymore...

same,

some will say "no problem anymore, my friend's just given birth to a healthy baby," bla bla bla...

others will just tell you, "no no, better not take the risk!" (ya, i'm in this boat!)...

anyway, so, one day, i went to my usual quickcut place to cut my hair,

the hairdresser somehow chitchat with me, and somehow mentioned to me that Loreal's a brand, colourant, organic...

i was like, "blink!", ooh... there's such thing? finally???

then, he went on telling me that, it's not just like any other colourant, you need to have certain skill, certain certifications only you're allowed to perform the colouring on your customers, bla bla bla...

so, i asked around, asked my friend who usually goes to those normal saloon for haircut, normal saloon, as in, anything opposite what quickcut does, ie. cut your hair in 15 minutes...

she told me, most saloons have that colourant, and yes, it's by Loreal, and i should just check it out...

i went online, checked the first time, still clueless...

then, i checked again just few days ago, somehow, i found Inoa, yep, my friend mentioend, it starts with "I",

i went to the hair saloon that she went to, saw the products, checked the price,

that's it, i'm in!

all these while, i thought, colouring hair is EXPENSIVE!

something like 200-300 bucks, or more...

but then, when my friend mentioned to me, she said something like 180 bucks,

when i checked with the saloon? wow!! base price 120 bucks, and labour charges for Inoa, 30 bucks,

i was like, ooh! cheap... (ok, anything's below my expectation's cheap! that's how i "value" a product)

ok, as i'm writing now, i've black hair, first time in like... 20 years??

experience?

well... it's ok, service is good, maybe they made a mistake in handling the queue, somehow, they let me do my hair first, while so many others were still waiting, it's a weekend, there're more customers, regular and walk-in, just like me...

then, unlike all these while, like in quickcut,

the hairdresser washed my hair (cos, i wanted a cut too), then, slowly trim my hair, checked with me if it's ok, this and that...

then, waited again,

she got ready the colourant,

slowly painted the colour on my hair...

let me ask you this,

THIS, organic product, is already considered mild, but i still feel that stinging effect on my scalp... kinda painful, you know?

after like 1 hour, she finally brought me to wash my hair, and while she's massaging my head, i was like... gosh!! can you please stop...

so, question: what about the other non-organic conventional hair colourant? do they have that stinging effect on your scalp????

if no, then,

this organic product's a negative point LO, being organic, by right, superb, right?

if yes, then...

i'll say, wow, all of you, really 愛美不怕痛～！

i don't know why, maybe it's just me...

just like when i went to do facial, twice, in my life, went with friends, for fun,

twice, all, PAINFUL!!

that's why, you don't really see me doing facial,

the pain, and the squeezing, and so on, it's just beyond my tolerance...

well... mind you, ahem... damn painful menstruation pain i can take,

when my son's coming out from my tummy, that contraction, i could take it,

but nope!!! not for those facial session,

twice,

nightmare,

that's why i don't bother much to visit those places, just not made for me...

so, when my felt that stinging effect on my scalp, i was like,

NOT AGAIN??? why me? painful again???

then, when i paid the bill, i read again, the product's simple info, it did have a statement written, "optimal scalp discomfort", by that hair saloon...

seeing that, i then think, at least i'm normal...

cos, i even thought that, if the stinging effect lasts for few more days, i gotta go see doctor!

that's why, back to the question LO~~

are the conventional products more "gentle", or even sting more??

if sting more...

gosh, i salute all you girls, who colour your hair on a frequent basis...

first, the "discomfort on the head",

second... aiyoyo~~~~ i sat there, sleep cannot sleep, can't do much, except facebooking, twitting, weibo-ing, g+-ing on my ipod,

i really had nothing much to do,

and ask me to every one month, or slightly more, to put 3 hours minimum in there, a hair saloon,

big no no to me...

nope, just not for me...

first, during that window of time,

he's to take care of the 2 precious on his own,

poor thing...

so, i reckon, i'll not say i won't colour my hair anymore,

but then, i'll only do it sparingly...

however, overall experience, i'm pretty satisfied...

Joke : What Women do all day ….????

saw this online,
thought it's quite a funny joke...

there you are...

Must read for husbands….What Women do all day ….????

A man came home from work and found his 5 children outside, still in their pajamas, playing in the mud, with empty food boxes and wrappers strewn around garden, The door of his wife's car was open, as was the front door to the house and no sign of the dog, walking in the door, he found ...an even bigger mess. A lamp had been knocked over, the throw rug was against one wall, In the front room the T
V was on loudly with the cartoon channel, the family room was strewn with toys and various items of clothing. In the kitchen, dishes filled the sink, breakfast food was spilled on the counter, the fridge door was open wide, dog food was spilled on the floor, a broken glass lay under the table, and a small pile of sand was spread by the back door. He quickly headed up the stairs, stepping over toys and more piles of clothes, looking for his wife. He was worried she might be ill, or that something serious had happened. He was met with a small trickle of water as it made its way out the bathroom door. As he peered inside he found wet towels, scummy soap and more toys strewn over the floor. Miles of toilet paper lay in a heap and toothpaste had been smeared over the mirror and walls. As he rushed to the bedroom, he found his wife still curled up in the bed in her pajamas, reading a novel... She looked up at him, smiled and asked how his day went. He looked at her bewildered and asked, 'What happened here today?' She again smiled and answered, 'You know every day when you come home from work and you ask me what in the world do I do all day?...
''Yes," was his incredulous reply..
She answered, 'Well, today I didn't do it.'

of rewards…

Oh, I've not been updating much in this place… (mostly hanging out in my chinese page, haha!)

Anyway,

Yes, parenting baby's challenging,

Sometimes, I myself am lost, frankly, till he's to tell me this, "coaching and being sarcastic is different!",

@_@

Therefore, I've to watch out, on my own speech…

Despite the difficult part,

Yes, I know baby's been a good baby,

Cos, there're some "difficult" correction, she could just correct it, within one day, and once and for all…

However, there're some "tougher" habits in her, that, I guess, it's just these sort of little things about toddler of her age, something in all of them, that it's just hard for her to change/eliminate…

Tough ones like:-

For a period of time, she says "ya" a lot, whenever she answers me, her responses, most of the time, were "ya"…

Then, I explained to her on the context of it,

And that, she reduced the usage of it, in pretty short time frame,

I taught her a few "expressions"… to replace "ya"…

On the second thing,

I don't know since when, she covers her mouth whenever she laughs,

I told her that, she could put her hand on her stomach, covering the mouth when laughing's bad gesture, which I do not want her to carry…

Or…

Sometimes, her fingers get pretty… em… idly, and that, she'll have some fidgeting moves (hm!! Sounds like there's a problem here huh?? Though, I can't be sure if there's, or there isn't… most of us, have had this stage, some time down the road, or before…)

So, I told her, if she doesn't know what to do with her hand, she could just tuck it under her lap, if she's sitting down…

Anyway, we'll see…

Of the three little habits listed above, I thought, it's pretty hard for a kid to kick,

But then, she seemed to achieve it pretty easily…

So, I told her, I'm very happy about it, and that…

She'll have her favourite cupcakes tomorrow, ghee…! ^_^

On other bad habits, yet to be corrected… hm...

She likes to lie down on the floor, I mean, any floor, it can be the floor in our own house (no problem!) and also, the floor in the enhancement centre, my friend's house, and I'm worried, when she goes to school, she'll lie down in the classroom's floor… @_@

Yet, at her age, she still can't help but to put things into her mouth, which, can be anything, from the edge of the table, or the toy broom stick that she's holding, or, simply, her fingers… @_@

Other than that, of course, she still have some small habits, that I wish she can change gradually…

Yes, gradually…

And therefore, I taught her how to pray,

Of course, it's for I myself too…

As I want her to know that, sometimes, she can seek help from another source too…

We'll see...
