to b honest, sometimes i miss my working life. at least when I'm working, those time is really mine. when u accomplish some tasks, those satisfaction level is different. staying at home actually stress me up most of the time. 1st of all, i don't have my own income, and my husband not giving me fix or monthly pocket money, i don't have freedom when i wan to buy things. 2nd, staying at home really makes me feel really low self esteem, ppl will not really appreciate what u've sacrifice and do, they will think it's what u "suppose to do", not mentioning tons of housework repeatedly same everyday, which makes me sick of it. 3rdly, my circle of frens really become very very small. i hardly have any fren to talk to, that's why i hook up to fb very long hrs, just wan to get myself updated. nowadays i quit laundry, since my hb willing to pay for dobby fees, instead of giving me that part of $, i quit doing it. since he willing to pay to tabao food, i don't really cook oso nowadays.
anyway, that's how i feel lor.. probably i step into full time mom's life too soon b4 i fully prepared. so u really have to mentally prepared first b4 u making that decision.
I'm not the type who has a fix schedule on doing things lar.. basically doing some housework, taking care of my girl, doing some online biz, do some craftwork.. like that lor.

Cheer up my dear fren. i always thinks that u r the best mum for your sweet little girl, can c it during the photos that u posted on fb. She learns things very fast.
Actually i think it is the same thing i feel all these while, that as a woman, it is what " u supposed to do" lor, even though rushing back from work, have to do the laundry, kids simple meals, bathing them, washing dishes, after when I'm bathing time will be around 10.00pm oredi. Time to let the kids sleep. It is really different between having kids and no kids life. Other than that, most of the time, my hubby is not at the house. Yet, he is very hygiene type of person, sometimes he come back will complaint say this not clean and that not clean enough...made me so frustrated. He din give me any monthly expanses and yet likes to complaint. Of course, all the household things, milks, pampers, instalments, day-care he pay la, I pay on our insurance, elec and astro bills, daily 'market money' for meals. Also, it seems like not much left in the pocket. Kids sometimes will sick, then my extra money gone...Last time, I used to ta bao too, but evertime when bringing the kids back to In Laws house at Kuching, u know la, she will start asking what are their grandchildren having everyday, etc. Then, I will start to feel guilty as both of my kids actually are smaller size compared to their actual age. Well, try to cook some soup and at least 2 times a week, at least they tasted mummy's home cook. But, by looking at your photos, you are better cook than I do. Hahaha...
Probably the thinking of being full time house wife just 'pop out' in my mind, thinking of really tired of being employed and the salary is not increase and more responsibilities. Most of the time is fire fighting. Really mentally tiring apart from my 'duty as a mother'. Really no time for myself lor. No more private time, sometimes just scribble something on my own blog, and that's it, consider yes la.. Probably doing part time job is ok. Anyway have to earn my pocket money.Really don't know... and this ideas had been stuck in my head for pass 6 months oredi. Just really have not decide anything yet, as I have current commitment to fulfil (my insurance, etc, ...)
How's your online biz, is it the handmade soap thing? U workout together with your frenz? At least, this is something u like rite?
Cheer up ya! And keep up the good work! Woman and great Mum!

U know what? This made me realize that every woman got their story and problems too... dealing with husband, kids, in-laws, siblings, etc. Sometimes, it is a bit difficult to advise as v all r not n their shoes. What v can do is support our dear frenz whenever they need it. Probably I would like to start with something small, and need to plan it out 1st. Thanks for your sharing and happy always and enjoy your life ya...

I guess every woman has their own story and own problems. So, in my case really have to keep it up and think of something out of it. Starting a small biz and at the same time doing my Pru Biz? With a little bit help from my dad? 1st thing 1st is what should I invest into? A little one will do…

Tadika Brainchild Issac Graduation & Concert 12 Nov 2011

Today marked Issac 6th birthday, and today too marking his graduation from the Tadika Brainchild, and he is going to Primary 1 next year.

Time really flies fast. Still remember the days when he was just a little baby in my arms…

This would be the last year concert which he had. Every year, the school would give a notice that no photography is allowed during the concert.

The school has engaged a professional photographer and videographer for the concert. Parents were advised to purchase the photos and videos from the class teachers after the concert. However, many parents still came with their cameras.

This year still the same, especially for this is the first time, the school had organized it with 3 kindergartens which are under the same group together in this grand and famous Putrajaya International Convention Centre.

The school has also informed us that there will be a professional photographer and videographer on that day. So, we can purchase the pictures in CD format and video after the concert.

We arrived there quite early as we had our breakfast early too. We had been waited for a while at the waiting or holding area, whereby Issac’s teacher gave us the graduation gown to change, and accompany by Daddy waited outside the hall to come in.

Annabelle went to the back stage with teachers get ready for her performance.

I went into the hall and find a seat next to the walkway and waited for Daddy after the marching.

The concert began with a welcome speech and opening speech from the school principal and the group chairman.

After the address given by the organizing committee, all the graduating students marched into the hall in their graduation gown accompany by their parent to receive their graduation certificates form the Principal.

After the certificate presentation, the concert began with delightful performance from the pre-nursery children.

The cuteness overloaded as the little children walked up the stage with colorful and fun attires.

Annabelle’s class was performing a ducklings dance. Happiness swelled up in my throat when I saw her walked up the stage in a cute yellow suckling costume and make-up.

She looks cute! She looked a bit puzzle on what was going on as she is only 4 years old. Most importantly, she is happy to be on stage with her friends. All her other classmates have performed very well too.

Annabelle have another Ballet performance which she took the lessons in Tadika Brainchild.

I decided to let her learn since Tadika Brainchild have such lessons to offer to the children.

She looks so ‘outstanding’ as she is he only one keep on falling behind after other older girls! Hah, but she is so cute!

After which is Issac’s class to perform. He looks fantastic! He performed very well this year – as compared to his debut performance 2 years ago.

I still can remember how he was crying on the stage and we have to take him back straight to home.

Different with last time, he was really enjoy with the dance this round. So happy for him. My Issac has grown to a big boy!

Months of practice and preparation have finally culminated into a heart-winning performance that touched all the audience – each and every one of us, the parents!

The principal, teachers and committee members should be proud of themselves for making this graduation concert a success. And congratulate and tank all of them for all their hard works and efforts.

After the concert, we quickly went backstage to pick up both Issac and Annabelle. When we saw both of them, we gave both a big hug, and told them, “ Daddy and Mummy are so proud of you all!”

Jong’s Crocodile Farm & Zoo 6 Nov 2011

This is our 2nd time in a year visit Jong’s Crocodile Farm. The reason we came back to Kuching is due to the illnesses of my father-in-law. He is suffering from lung cancer.

       

It is really quite a shock to me as early this year, we came back Kuching to celebrate the Chinese New Year not really notice that he have any illnesses, just may be sometimes he looked tired. Thus, sister Agatha asked us to come back for a few days to visit him.

                   

Well, as our routine itinerary we visited the Jong’s Crocodile Farm again. Issac always very supportive in taking photographs as usual. And, as usual also Annabelle seems like don’t bother much as she always do. Not much photos were taken this round.
