New Year resolution?

Most of them would have top ten countdowns or perhaps top five most wanted. For me, I’ve plentiful to achieve but among those in the millions, I’ve only one aspiration to accomplish. That is to achieve my dreams.

I know it’s going to tough. Just like Billy Ocean said,” When the going gets tough, the tough gets going.”

Well boyzone did sing it too. Hmm. Funny.

Anyway, the only resolution I had is to be a better, healthier, happier person, sister, mom, wife and daughter in life but the mission here for 2009 is to accomplish my dreams. I know it’s going to be very tough with all the juggling of time and bond but I believe it’s for the better. Small sacrifices make the whole lot of difference. Hopefully things get much better for the family.

Coming 2009, Netty will be turning 2. Woah. Time really flies. I remember she was just 3.165kg and 51cm tall when I gave birth to her. In 21 days, she’ll be digit TWO. No parties for her this year but a small family affair at Swensen perhaps or just a picnic at Sentosa for the kids.

Simple. I love that!

As for Haney, my all-grown up kakak, she will be HIGH FIVE!! Oh my, I just couldn’t believe she’s turning five. I’ve surpassed her bad temperamental terrible TWO, her rude behaviour and I’m applauded by my motherhood. I didn’t realize how I managed it but I made it. Hee. Plus all the unwanted scenes of anger management we had for her which almost made us steamed out like a choo-choo train. That almost made her papa gave up upon her. Almost!

Honestly, because of her, I’m turned into a super calm mama! Syukur Alhamdulilah.

Kids will always be kids. It’s either you love it or hate it. Best, take life simpler and you’ll be happier. Be in shoes with them, you’ll find it even more fun to be around with them. Kids are natural entertainer; they need audience to acknowledge their everyday accomplishment. The audience is us, the parents. Hahaha.

Well-said, my dear mama (eee. so familiar.. hmm)… ehh well-written. Heee. ##angkat bakul sendiri sey budak kecik nie!!! waaaaah! I can’t blame myself, turning TIGA soon, so philosophical eh mama nie! Hee!

It’s part of motherhood, I learn and read and still learning it everyday. I love kids, it’s my pure natural dedication to children. I should be a preschool teacher. Haaa. But S.T.R.E.S.S, forget it.
..
..

Apart for that, Haney will be starting her new school, new environment, new subjects and new classmates and a new timeslot to school. 2-5pm daily. Hmm. Nap Time. Haiz. Nevermind.

Plus, she super excited to take her first bus to school! Hahaha. I believe she felt like an adult when she taking the bus on her own. It’s like another stage of life to being a kakak. She felt a sense of achievement being able to take the responsible of going to school on her own.

She even told me this,” Mama, I want to go school myself! I’m taking the bus myself. Please mama, you go work ok. I want to do all by myself!”

Eh eh budak nie!

Sometimes I realized I taught her too much of being independent that at times like this I feel she’s grown up too fast. Like sleeping on her own room at 18 months, cleaning up her own room at 2 yrs old, bathing & peeing on her own at 3 years old and turning on the DVDs and computer at 4 yrs old.

Nowadays, whenever she goes to pee in public, she will insist to use the cubicle herself. I will pass her a wet tissue, next she will close the door, pull down her pants and pee. All I did was to wait outside behind the door. I do feel awkward at times when aunties kept staring at me, leaving a 95cm tall girl in the cubicle herself. Worst, the mama kept asking,” Are you done?”

” Not yet mama! Hold on! ” haney

” Are you done? ” mama asked again.

” Can you be patient? ” haney

Haaaaaaaaa. Grrr.

Yelah mana tahu terlock sendiri. Hahah! Which had happened before but she managed to calm down and unlock it. Hahaha. Grrr.. tapi tak serik. Haney Oh Haney!

Gadget at home is Haney’s best friend. I taught her once and she remembered it pretty fast. Even the bibik didn’t know how to switch on the pc and sometimes Haney taught her how to surf the internet. Hee. Playhouse Disney aje. The mama taught her U.tubie. to watch videos and listen to songs. Soon M.SN pulak! Then permukaanbuku. Alamak. Alabapak. Slowly mama hor!!! Hee. There’s one day bibik pressed the wrong button for the DVD and Haney grumbled at her. Heee. She’s the BIG MADAME at home when mama’s not around. Ahakz.

Haney, my miniature me! Hee. Yupz. Plus now this madame is so petty too. She will be very particular about cleanliness. The moment someone spilled water on the table, she will said mama please clean it up. Hmm. Yes, I did spill it. Previously it was me whom reminded her when she spilled it. Hee. Now it’s vice versa. Dah kakak konon!

Anyway I’m looking forward to 2009. Looking forward to love my kids more and more plus the family too. Not forgetting the papa, definitely. #die baca nanti kata lupa. Heeee. Notty me! Looking forward for a healthier me. Looking forward to a brighter star within me, hoping the star shine brightly to my dreams, my hopes and my life around. Hoping for a beautiful new day. Not just the dawn of the new day! It’s a whole new beginning of new hopes and dreams to achieve and live every moment with love and peace!

To everyone around the world, Happy New Year! Wishing you and your family a Happy, Healthy, and Successful New Year. Insya’allah. amin.

For a start, I’ve cleansed my brain system yesterday; tomorrow will be another reformatting session but a hair pampering session. Hee. Let’s have fun!

my new stepdotter!

homemaker for a day

December 17th, 2008 § 0

Today I’m on leave and tomorrow I’m working then comes Friday, I’m on leave again.

What a weird situation? Don’t ask why but, we supposed to go swimming to Wild Wild Wet today but I’ve got school in the evening. Thanks to the email from school. Duh. Nevermind.

So Friday will be swimming day. Hopefully Mr sunshine smiles cheerfully at my kids. #praying hard

Today.
On Leave.
Home Time.
A homemaker for a day!

It’s worth to spend time with kids at home once a while. Even though I’m super busy at work with season greeting and end year stuffs going on. Kids are still my priority.

I used to be career-minded whereby I think about work first and excelling endlessly to get to the top level but now, I basically taking things slow and not expecting much. More of making sure works is fine and basic needs are accomplished. As soon as I reached home, the focus is on the children.

Simple. Very.

I almost wanted to be a librarian. I’ve written my CV but I put it back in my file before sending it to the HR. Heeee. Kerja relax. Bole read books to children but the problem, its shift work. Sunday must work then no haney netty in my arms. Hmmm. Oh tidak!!!

So what did we do today?

Work up at 9am, haney pestering me to wake up when I’m still snuggling warmly under my quilt. Ok. OK. Next she requested to surf her favorite Playhouse Disney’s website. Ok fine. I switched the pc on and there she was explaining to a=Adek not to touch the keyboard and mouse.

Ironically, adek dengar kata plak.. hahahah! Baik sungguh kakak eh. Well behave. Good.

2 hours on the internet, printed some colouring from the website. Soon I switched off the pc for some bubble monkey around the living room. Mama blew the bubbles and kids went crazy jumping around popping it. Heee. Oh yes… we did some hand abstract painting too but we didn’t paint the wall. Otherwise papa will turn maniac. Heeee.

Since the mama is at home super free, she did something she had not done for so long.

Cooking! Yupz.

Sempat. Cook Sambal Goreng, requested by the papa. He said he don’t want bibik to cook. Hahaha. Rindu masakan mama. Ya. Ya. My cooking flair is terrible cos when I was young, my mama didn’t allow me to be in the kitchen. Yupz. Sentuh kuali aje, mak pekik satu blok bole dengar. Hahah.

Tu la mak asyik suruh belajar dalam bilik aje, dapur takle sentuh. Kwang Kwang. Thanks to my mummy, I hate cooking but of course I can’t hate it forever. So I pickup the paces back as soon as I became a mom. Heee. Bole la so long no diarrhea, the food is considered edible.

Sambal goreng campak-campak. My tester as usual the papa bear. Hope he doesn’t complain.
..
..

Time checked. Almost 12pm. Lunch Time.

Some quiet moment for 2 girls to have lunch. They ate their own lunch together while mama read the newspaper. Soon its TV time, we sat on sofa and ate the corn. Hmmm. Sedap.

Playhouse Disney Channel again! Heeee…

2pm – ahakz. Nap time. Shoo both girls out to their rooms to sleep. Dah macam army camp. If I don’t do this, the children will turn into nonsensical kids.

Peace at last. Honestly, I love being at home when I’m on leave. In fact, I’ve always love staying at home cos the weather in SG is super humid. With the girls behaving pretty well for now and improving a lot since they both have each other. They seldom disturb me. But of course, I spend my time with them first before I place some time for myself. At least I don’t ignore them and in return, they both have each other to play together.

That’s what I love about having 2 girls. Minus the pulling hair session which can occur when they are not in sharing mood over their own toys. Hahahhaha.

++++

Away from motherhood, the office just called me.. now I’m doing work at home. BLUWEEEEEEEK!!! Thankfully, the kids are sleeping soundly for afternoon nap!!

Where am I?
