I don’t like to take medicine unless I really need it. Most often I don’t. No panadol as I heard panadol residue will be contain in your liver for some time. No antibiotic. I hate swallowing those weird color capsules. No cough medicine unless I been coughing for over a week or 2, which I seldom do. Trick, drink lots of water, eat lots of vege and fruits. I will let my immune system fight the germs. I do take supplements especially when I am week but not all the time.

Yesterday I was having a fever, I used my children’s thermo scan, it was 38.2. In the morning while I was carrying Emily over to my babysitter, I was feeling my heart beating really fast. At that time, I had no fever.

When I reach the office, I felt shivering all over. I took a cup of hot milo to warm me up. I had to attend a couple of morning meetings. I was feeling tired nearing lunch. I went home to take a short nap, it help a little. At 4pm, the fever developed and my head was drifting. I called my hubby who works upstairs to take me home.

When I reached home, I told my hubby that I was not feeling well, please take care of the children. I went to sleep and didn’t take my dinner. I slept until I heard 2 screaming children outside. Sigh. I went over to cool them down and took Emily to sleep in a separate room with me. Both were happy and I am happy.

I woke up still feeling lethargic, muscles aching but fever went away.

I was traveling with mummy on Air Asia flights which she got for 30 sens. Dirt cheap but need to pay fuel and tax. It wasn’t that cheap after all. I had fun on the flight eating mummy mamee. I never imagine I can sit on an airplane and fly across the sea.

After I alight from the plane, I help two men direct the people traffic, you go here and don’t cross the yellow line. No taking pictures here. When I reached the so called LCCT airport, it took a long while for my baggage to appear.

I got on the sky bus to KL Sentral. I was wonder why sky bus, not that it can fly. It took another hour plus to reach my grandmother’s place. Now if my dad were to drive, it takes the same amount of time. Haha…but I get to ride on the airplane.

As I was returning home to Penang, the CEO of AA approached me with camera. He thanked me for helping him direct traffic, i guess or maybe he want to recruit me for good. He asked my brother to become a pilot because there is shortage of Malaysian pilot. Give us a scholarship, maybe we can consider. :giggles:

Lastly, I must say that AA needs to reconsider and allow the priority boarding for parents with children and senior citizen. Pity they take that off.

*a portion of the above story is a figment of my imagination*

Tim & Emily were pretty excited to meet up with the rest of the new friends. Let me tell you some stories about this meet up.

*Spot the parents in the mirror if you can*

Destiny, she is a party gal, dress for the occasion and she gave out party packs for everyone. How cool to have a party gal like her.

Jeriel, I wish my children can eat green vegetables like he does. I saw him from far, eating his green vege. He will grow up to be a strong and healthy boy.

Zara is kind of a cool and would not let me take Zaria home. She is a protective sister.

Zaria can sleep with the amount of noise we are making, hardly see her cry.

Faythe loves to go to the mirror at the Japanese place and look at herself closely.

Vyktore is a charmer, he goes to every table and charm all the gals that we do not know. Imagine, all the gals took out camera to snap a picture of him.

Ivan, he got a very hip hairstyle with a little tail behind.

I had a very exhausted day and I am sure all the children did too. We started having fun at kidsport. Emily went through many rounds of the sliding down the big huge slides. First accompany by me and the rest she was on her own. Timothy, as usual loves to dive down the pool of balls.

Tracy, thanks for the lovely gift, you shouldn’t have. My children loves the bag so much, every where they go, they carried it for that day onwards. I just hope I have more time to chat with you mums, I didn’t catch up with Jazz and Chanel. Next time we lunch at a place where they have bigger tables.

I had a name for a gal even before I conceived her. When I found out I am having a gal, it was one of my happiest moments. I was fond of the name Emily and it is a pretty name. Hubby likes the name too. Emily means “To Strive or Excel”. It is also a very popular and common name. By the way, a lot of parents love to name the children beginning with a letter. I know parents who has children begin with “Z”, “I”, “T”, “B” and “J”. If you notice, my children’s first name ends with “Y”.

As for the Chinese name, my hubby and I decided to let my mom name her. This way both grandparents have these special gifts for my children. My mom came up with 4 Chinese names, hoy yi, weng yi, kar yi and mun yi. She wrote them in Chinese names and sent to me. She was teasing me as I didn’t know how to read it. I had to ask my friend for help. I kind of like hoy yi but it doesn’t have any meaning at all. I picked meaning smart little dragon. Mun Yi also sounds like money. :giggles:

Someone tag me on this but I cannot remember who. It is an interesting tag on how my children get their names. By the way, because my family is a Christian, we don’t go to “paid strangers” for names. In the Bible, often names show the character of the person, so better give good names to your children. I just learn last week from Sunday School that Nabal means Fool

Timothy meaning “Honoring God” was selected by my hubby and I. Some how both of us like the name and it is a bible character. At the third month of my gynae checkup, when the doc told us that the child I am bearing is a boy, my hubby told the ultrascan picture and told his father, this is Timothy. Of coz my father in law is very confused as he couldn’t tell what was in the picture. Hehehe.. I am not even sure he knew that was an ultrascan of the baby. My son’s paed told me to name my next baby if it is a boy Titus.

His Chinese name was given by my mother in law. Both my hubby and I are banana, so cannot give good Chinese name to my son. How sad. She gave my son meaning dragon hovering the sky. Both my MIL & PIL came to my house a day before I was admitted to the hospital. All of us decided to go with the name.

I am not sure what this name will bring to his character but I hope that he will honor God in his journey of life.

..to be cont with Emily next…

I don’t have to buy any coloring books anymore. If you have a printer and a computer with Internet connection, you can print out any pictures your child wants. All you have to do is go to Google -> Images and search for “Coloring” and the choice of pictures. If you want pooh, type coloring pooh, mickey mouse type coloring mickey mouse and etc.. Click the Picture and click the thumbnail on the top to bring the picture onto the browser and print.

Timothy has been asking me to print him airplane, ultraman, cruise ship, bus, disneyland, train and others. He has not stopped asking since. Emily will follow his request. You can find most of the pictures the child wants. Try it.

I have yet to find a nice picture of London Bridge (aka London Tower Bridge), let me know if you can find it.

I took my children to our 7th wedding anniversary dinner. My hubby and I thought of having a quiet and romantic dinner together. We went to the Victoria Station in Penang. However the children were pretty noisy. I mean they talk non stop in aloud voice, I had to silence them a couple of times. Fortunately there was another family who was there who also had 2 children. If there were couples around, we will be embarrass

Imagine if there were couples there having their romantic dinner, you hear “Mummy I want the train to move”, “Mummy why aren’t the train moving”, “Mummy where is the train going?”, “Mummy, what is this?” Fortunately the banana split came in time to keep them quiet done for a little while.

I had my favorite escargots, the little French snails. Timothy likes it too.

Timothy: Where is the snail head?
Mummy: In your tummy.
Timothy: *disbelieve* No mummy, where is the snail head?
Mummy: You ate the head.
Timothy: *just cannot accept it* No mummy, you ate the head.

The food was alright but the environment is certainly romantic. After the meal, I took my children to the train head and they wanted to move the train. They were not very successful with it. :giggles:

Today is my wedding anniversary. Wow time passed really fast as I am reaching wool/copper anniversary. Ha! In no time my hubby and I will be reaching diamond, if we can survive that long. It has been great to have married for so long.

It was a very hectic weekend for us, so we decided to have a quiet dinner on Monday. I hope it will be quiet as we will be bringing along the children. We always make it a point to have them around with major celebrations. I hope they remember this so that when we are old, they will have us in their major celebrations too. Yes, it is a BIG hint to them. :giggles:

Happy 7th Anniversary To Us!!!

My hubby bought a Lego set in US for my children. Lego is pretty cheap in US. Anyone going there, should get a set for their children. Timothy is really good with it and he can do lots of different things with it. He made airplane, train, bus, house, people and ambulance. As for Emily, she is always asking me to make for her. She likes to stack the doors up high and look through it.

Here are some of the creations Timothy made. Guess what’s the last one?

Not Just A Bus, But A Bus With Seats:

Guess What’s This:

I bought back a Scottish music magnet from Scotland. When press, it play Scottish music. I put it on my fridge. My children love to press it and dance to the tune. After they press it, they will dance around the kitchen. It is kind of funny to see them. One day, my hubby recorded Emily doing the “really” cool Scottish dance with the China cap. She even got her mouth to dance with the music.

How will you rate this dance? 1-5 stars.

P/S Sorry my comment box was out of order, now it is fixed. My naughty hands did some change of codes.
