Emily:

More to discover about them and myself….to be cont.

Thanks for all your wishes. I received an email from the trainer that I passed my ITIL. :dance: It just came at the right time as I was really stress last week because one of my projects messed up. Now cleaning the mess. 😥

Hooray I am ITIL certified. What next? What should I study next? Any ideas?

Yesterday, at church, I was carrying a 1 year old baby. Tim saw and he was concerned. As for Emily, she didn’t bother but continued what she was doing.

Tim: Who is that?
Mum: This is Michelle, say hello.
Tim: Mummy, you cannot take this home.
Mum: Why not? *teasing him*
Tim: Please, put it back.
Mum: 😯

After the service, we had to send one of the children home. He saw the gal coming into the car.

Tim: Who is this?
Mum: We will take her home.
Tim: No, cannot take her home. :naughty:
Mum: I meant, take her to her home, not your home. :eh:

Tim is very concern if I bring back a third child. He has a jealous character in him. Last time, when his class has a new student and the teacher pays more attention to the new person, he will be very unhappy. I hope someday he will know how to overcome his jealousy or at least control it.

How old should you allow your child to date? 21? 18? 16? Do you forbid them to date if younger? How do you go about doing that?

One day as I was picking up my children, I have a little chat with the school principal. I was surprised at what she told me. Usually Tim is very quiet in school, hardly mix around with his friends. Lately he improves. He even has a girlfriend. :naughty: He is very close to this gal, chatting with her, going everywhere with her and doing things together. I have no idea who started what or when it started. It is fun for me to hear such story. Love is in the air for a 4 year old. :giggles:

Oh, sometimes I like to tease him and ask him what do you do with Melissa? What a bad mum. :giggles:

Let’s hope Emily doesn’t start any at this age. :naughty:

I have to go for another examination but this time I do not have to study for it. Guess what? :sc:

It is that time of the year that I have to go for Health Screening, sponsored by my company. 2 years ago, I booked for it and was about to go. However I got pregnant before the appointment date, I had to cancel it.

The health screening is a comprehensive medical examination for early detection of common disorders such as Hypertension, Diabetes Mellitus and Coronary Heart Diseases. Through these tests we can detect abnormalities in the heart, lungs, liver, kidneys and urinary tract. It takes half a day for all the test and procedures to complete. The medical report will be completed and interpreted by the doctor.

Chest X-Ray
Electro Cardiogram (ECG)
Stress Test (Treadmill) – must build up my stamina!! :wall:
ESP (blood & urine test)
Lung Function Test
Audiogram
Ultrasound of Full Abdomen
Full Vision Test by Eye Specialist

I will blog further once I have the whole thing done. It is good to have your health check every other year when you reach my age.:pray: Pray that I pass this with flying colors!

I was having a conversation with Emily before bed time while I was ironing and she was having her milk.

Emily: This is papa’s “sam” (aka shirt).
Mummy: Yes, papa sam
Emily: This is kor kor uniform.
Mummy: Yes, kor kor uniform.
Emily: See mummy, got sound one. *making some sound with her leg hitting the bed*
Mummy: Yeap, got sound.
Emily: Mummy, see so funny one.
Mummy: Yeap, so funny. Faster finish up your milk.
Emily: Mummy cannot scold Emily.
Mummy: 😯 Mummy didn’t scold you, just asking you to finish your milk.

She is growing to be kind of sensitive. I have to be careful my tone of voice with her. I think she learn it from her kor kor. She does imitate kor kor once in a while like:

Emily: Later buy for Emily yeahhhh…. *give a funny but fake expression*

Emily: Aha! There you ah!

Emily: Oh no, I donno.

Lately she allowed me to dress her up and tie up her hair. She looks so adorable and sweet. Now I can buy more pretty dresses for her.

After the last incident of infected eyes, my specialist request that I should minimized the usage of contact lens. Not that I do not want to wear my spectacles but it is really troublesome. 10 reasons why.

1. With spectacles, when it rained or bathed the children, I need a wiper on it.
2. With spectacles, when I get out of a cool air cond car, it fogs up.
3. With spectacles, when I wake up, I cannot see the clock.
4. With spectacles, I cannot bath with it.
5. With spectacles, I need to wipe the glasses every now and then, because it gets oily.
6. With spectacles, my children always like to leave fingers prints on it.
7. With spectacles, I have to remember where I put it.
8. With spectacles, I have to remember to wear it.
9. With spectacles, I tears when I chop onions.
10. With spectacles, I look intelligent geeky.

Today, guess what I forgot? I am getting more “big prawn head” a.k.a. forgetful after becoming a mother. I guess most of my brain storage is filled with stuff relating to children. Example:

Are they doing well in health?
What do we do tonight, tomorrow, weekend, holidays..etc?
When to pay school fees?
What breakfast to buy for them?
Have I iron their school uniform?
Do they have enough clothing?
Bla bla bla…

Anyway, here are funny incidents that me, look like a big prawn head:

1. After showering, I realized I forgot to take my clothes and towel into the bathroom.
2. I realized I forgot that I wore my contact lens and put my spectacles on, realized that everything is blur.
3. I wore slipper to work, I had to ask my hubby to turn the car around to get my working shoes. Fortunately it was nearby.
4. After going downstairs, I realized I forgot to take things upstairs, sometimes I can run up more than 3 times to get the complete the list of things I want upstairs.
5. I went to the shop and I forget what I want to buy.
6. I added salt, instead of sugar into my cup of tea.
7. I sealed the bill payment envelop and forgot to insert the cheque.
8. I forgot to sign the cheque and send it to IRB for tax payment.
9. I forgot to turn off the iron, made a black mark on the board. Fortunately it didn’t start a fire because the iron board surface is heat resistance.
10. I forgot to attend a telecon meeting at night, happily went to sleep.

Back to the first question, what did I forget? I forgot to bring my blog to work, today. I had it written on my desktop, was supposed to transfer it to my thumb drive and I forgot. Lately I have been doing a lot of Sudoku to keep my brain working. Maybe addicted to it too. :giggles:

Finally I have finished my exams and it is raining outside. The papers were difficult, as the answers were so close to each other. It was an objective paper. I am keeping my finger crossed and hope to receive good news 4 weeks down the road.

Since I am stuck in the hotel, by the way, I am in Singapore, right now. I called my children.

Emily: Hello Mummy.
Mummy: Hello.
Emily: Buy me teddy bear.
Mummy: Already bought.
Emily: I few, I few.
Mummy: Ask kor kor to come.
Emily: Kor Kor, where are you? Go, mummy called!
Tim: Buy me teddy bear.
Mummy: ok

*Tim ran away*. So much, for talking to them. I think they will grow up like me, do not like to talk on the phone.

I saw a few incidents with children in Singapore.

Incident #1:

Boy: Mummy, you must buy me this, or this or this.
Mom: *ignore his son*
Boy: Buy me this.
Mom: *ignore him*
Boy: *grumbling* *whining* *very frustrated*
I didn’t hear his exact words but he was very frustrated and scolding the mother. The mother was calm and spoke softly but not answering the boy’s demand. She said “Lets’ go.” The boy was still complaining.

Incident #2

Boy (about 3 year old) crying at the MRT station, I was not sure what. I was observing the boy and the mother’s reaction. There were also 2 other relatives. Mother was ignoring the boy’s cry. He kept crying and holding the mother’s leg. Mother folding her arms and ignoring him. Everyone was staring at the boy by now and he was so cute to be ignored. I felt like going there and saying sweet things to make him happy. It went on for almost 4-5 mins. Then I realized I was on the wrong platform, I didn’t observe further but I had to leave.

I will MIA next week to study and take exam. Please do miss me but pray :pray: for me that I pass. I was telling Jess, when my children grow up to a manageable age, I probably want to go back to do some part time studying.

The thing is I do not know what I want to study? I probably do not want to do a master or a PHD. I have an interest in child development. Anyway, it is a long long way before I reach there.

Here’s wishing all of you:
