back to wrk - 23Jun

Took a day leave on last fri, 20June, i took BB jae back the nite b4, she is all well & she wanna sleep with us and she woke up early the next day she is up @ 7am+++, as usual, boil water, prepare for her bathing time, and get her milk ready, juz in case she demand for milk wen dressing her, though never happen b4. after bath, played awhile, she will catch ur attention to carry her, i bought her down to buy paper & get breakfast...then in afternoon went out with mum, so unlucky, we are suppose to go police post to collect my mum lost purse bt the department in charge went for prayer...ask us to come back @ 2.30pm, mum still suggest we wait there lah, bt tat is waiting for 2hrs for nothing, i told her we go shopping till 4pm+++ then rush back by cab better, bought a few blouses & had ice cream for tea break @ cheaper rate.:)

she is so happy to bath, always kicking the water and start to wanna grab all our shampoo bottles placed on the toilet bowl.

After watching the bb show on sat nite, i start mashed pumpkin mixed with plain rice cereals for BB Jae, she like it very much bt i didnt let her hv too much afraid she might hv indigestion...hehe! then in the evening, we boiled some carrot to mixed with cereals for her to try, she love it too, nw am worrying if she will reject 'jiang yu zai'. nw we dun carry her to feed her, we placed her on her rocking chair to feed & wen she is full, she will 1 to lie on her back to hv her milk, she knows wat is comfortable, was puzzle wen she is being so irritated when i give her milk on her rocking chair den call mum then to find this habit out... ...haha!

Tips for a Better Life in 2008...

1. Take a 10-30 minute walk every day. And while you walk, smile . It is the ultimate anti-depressant.

2. Sit in silence for at least 10 minutes each day.. Buy a lock if you have to.

3.. Buy a DVR and tape your late night shows and get more sleep .

4. When you wake up in the morning complete the following statement, 'My purpose is to ___ today.'

5. Live with the 3 E's -- Energy, Enthusiasm, and Empathy .

6. Play more games and read more books than you did in 2007.

7. Make time to practice meditation, yoga, tai chi, and prayer . They provide us with daily fuel for our busy lives.

8. Spend time with people over the age of 70 and under the age of 6.

9. Dream more while you are awake.

10. Eat more foods that grow on trees and plants and eat less food that is manufactured in plants.

mummy - look out!

Y'dae apply 1 day leave on 20jun, friday, gt approved, so happy...

Working in a company, sometime really gt to be 100% alert at all times.

y'dae rvcd a fax frm client abt one of company project 'final a/c' matter then in the fax mention gt attachment & i realized no attachments den quickly ask boss lor bt he ask me to refer to ops mgr, bt he nt ard so gt to drag a day again...wen finally see ops mgr, he ask me to go look for other things bt i told him i gt nothing else, if nt i sure attached together mah, bt he insist i go find, in the end i hack care i call client to ask for attachment den wen rcvd frm client n revert back to ops mgr n realise the doc he wan is with him... ...so clear the puzzle, bt boss wont knw anyway...hw to wrk smart???

was eating snake juz nw, then read post @ some forum, i was shocked that in Spore we hv so many single mum, sum are really young mum, some even go thru hardship b4 ending the fearful period & children affect the most. Y men can be so irresponsible? Y lady muz suffer for them? Have the lady tink thoroughly b4 they decide to keep the child?

Even being in marriage does not mean long lasting promise. Many things can happen, is best to stay happy, positive everyday, every min, second.

1) Spot signs when he needs to go
2)Put on easy clothing on the child eg: pants with elastics
3)Demo to the child by pressing your tummy a little and asked "Do u feel it in your tummy?"
4) Praise him after he has finished
5) Repeat asking him if he needs to go to the toilet many times.
6) If using a potty, put it at a place that requires no distraction

style :Patience / Praise / Practice

This morning before I out 4 work he say gt sore throat. hopefully those throat inflammation medicine & lozenges helps him.

Luckily he is on leave these few weeks so he can get to rest more but dun know y guys always dun like to take medicine & drink cooling tea... ...so difficult to treat them...

fond memories

Recycle bag!

Hi all,

Good morning! today reached office at 8.20am... ...10min earlier than usual. Gt time to enjoy my breakfast, food for breakfast: 'zhu chang fen' with coffee & 2pcs biscuit...

Was thinking, govt/NEA keep encourage ppl to bring our own shopping bag when go buy grocery but the outcome isnt very good, to me if really want ppl to bring their own bag, either u give out 2 or more free recycle bag or give more discount/let us gain more pts when we buy or wen we bring along our own shopping bags. After a while i am sure the outcome will be lotz better than today, esp when we can gain something frm it.

Ten things husbands wants from their wives:

Ten things husbands wants from their wives:

1. Believe in his capabilities - Many men believe it is important for them to protect and provide for those they love. Let him know that you believe in his talents and skills and are supportive of him.

2. Understanding - One of the ways you can both tell and show your husband that you want to understand him is by making a commitment to daily dialogue with him. Daily dialogue only takes 20 minutes out of your day. Isn't your husband worth 20 minutes each day?

3. Affirmation of his accomplishments - Most guys like to be patted on the back. Compliment your husband often. Just don't over do it with sicky sweet oozes of how great he is. That type of affirmation will backfire.

4. Acceptance - Many husbands are hurt and angered when their wives try to change them. Realize that the only person that you can change is yourself.

5. Less Chatter - If your husband is tired, or involved with a project, and you really need to talk to him about something, get to the point. If he needs the details of the topic, he'll ask for them.

6. Affection - Hold your husband's hand in public, leave a message of love on his voice mail, massage his shoulders, give him an unexpected kiss. Men like to be romanced too!

7. Respect - Show respect for your husband by not making negative comments about his thoughts and opinions, by being considerate of his plans, and by avoiding the "eye roll" when listening to him.

8. Free time -Most everyone needs some quiet time alone, and time to re-energize, regroup, and reconnect. When your husband first gets home from work, allow him some free time to unwind if he thinks he needs it. Don't over-schedule his days off with projects around the house.

9. Trust - Trust is vital in the success of a marriage. If you are having doubts about your husband and find it difficult to trust him, seek counseling and not spying.

10. To be a Companion - Hopefully, you can say that your husband is not only your lover, but also your friend. Staying friends and companions through the years requires that you find ways to make time together and to do things together.

Ten things a woman wants from their husbands:

Ten things a woman wants from their husbands:

1. Telling her daily that she is loved - Everyone needs to be affirmed. Everyone needs to know they are loved. The best ways to say "I love you" are usually in simple, everyday, seemingly unimportant ways like an unexpected hug or holding hands when you walk together.

2. Understanding & forgiveness - There will be days when your wife will make mistakes or when she will be difficult to be around. No one is perfect. She both wants and deserves your willingness to understand and forgive her. Remember that no relationship can be sustained without forgiveness.

3. Conversation - Don't let your conversations with your wife dwindle to nothing but talk about your kids, your jobs, and the weather. If that happens, your marriage relationship could be in real trouble.

4. Willingness to make time for her & your children - Having quality time with your wife and kids isn't something that just happens. You have to make it happen by not only making the plans but by following through. Time with those you love has to be a high priority for you.

5. Saying "yes" more than saying "NO" - Habitual negative responses to your wife and kids can push them away from you. Think twice before saying "no" and you will be surprised at how saying "yes" can improve your relationships.

6. Listening Well - It's really disheartening for a wife to share her thoughts and feelings with her mate and then realize that he didn't actually listen to her. Your wife wants and needs you to not only listen with your ears, but to listen with your heart.

7. Affection & Kindness - How often do you say "please" or "thank you" or give your spouse an unexpected kiss? Unfortunately, some married couples forget that being kind and affectionate to one another are keys to a successful marriage.

8. Sharing Household & child rearing responsiblities - One of the main reasons couples fight is conflict over who is doing what around the house. Chores and child care are not the sole responsibility of your wife. She shouldn't have to ask you to do your share around the house.

9. A Day Off Now & Then - Give your wife a day off several times a month. This means that she will be free from worrying about what is happening with the kids, the house, the pets, and you. She not only deserves this break in her schedule, she needs it to be emotionally and physically healthy.

10. Commitment to take care of yourself Both Physically & Emotionally - Many men are notorious for not taking care of themselves when it comes to health issues. This isn't fair to your wife. She is your lover not your mother. Take responsibility for your own health concerns.

I went in to try their eyebrow trimming using threading method, at 1st everything goes on fine but after a while, it is so painful but it turn out quite well, gt the shape & clear all other unwanted hair away so clean n no bruises after that. Not like eyebrow plucking, sometime if tat person do it too rough or wat, u might hv bruises. this method, nothing leh....maybe i gt an experienced lady bah... ...LUCKY!

Wow!! now is 5.15pm and finally i am done with my blog while working. 1st time blogger.
Hope to do it better each time i update. So very excited with it. :)

Dun know if my boss find out anot, he keep walk pass my table.

02 June 08

Wow! just reach back Singapore , so happy to see my homeland as i get get used to their dark road.

I am not sure if i am unlucky or what, my 1st time to Genting via coach. And i met with a number of incidents.

When we first arrived Genting, First World Hotel, there's no instruction /directory which way is the lobby or check in counter etc etc, also no sign board telling us, if we had 2 nites stay, we can straight go to the check in counter, that time was 3.45am, and only a long long qunue before the reception counter so we join in the queue, bt thats for those who had only a nite stay tourist. After 25mins, the receptionist ask us if we have 2nites stay? instead of advise us to go straight to the check in counter he still issue us a 11am check in queue slip!!! We realise something was wrong we quickly go check out with other hotel staffs but only 4 counters were open that time and only 2 are working and those tourists before us have so many questions. as we were too tired, we can only stand and pull a really long face. But still in the end we got our room, at 1st the lady still insist we shld check in at 11, but in the end we gt our room and rest that time alredy 5am! we reached at 3.30am!

We have to change 2 buses before we reach back Singapore home. On our way back the bus driver is taking his own sweet time to drive(i am nt saying he is wrong for driving slow but he keep bring us to purchase things and stop by toilet every 1hr, which kind of weird, i am nt sure, what's ur experience?), instead schedule to reach back by 9pm we reach back at 12am. There's no jam at the Tuas checkpoint. The reason is bcos when we reach the Malaysia Custom we were told to change bus the 2nd time, and worse, we didnt even know which bus to change to, we were left behind at that place for about 45mins before the bus driver re-appear with a new bus. And before we start our journey our other bus passengers took too much time to get onto the bus... ...

Haizzzz...but after all these, OVERALL this trip is ok as i gt quite a number of things at cheaper rates & my hubby win abit at the casino .

04 June 2008

Went to stock up bb milk powder with my mum & bb, she was in her stroller. While walking, I think back, how times files, it seems like just yesterday i was busy helping my parent to move into their current home, and still walking along this same pathway to home, and now i am a mother alrdi, walking this same way together with my bb & hubby. Will my bb hold my hands and walk this pathway together? Will my hubby hold my hands to walk our life together? or Will there be another member in my life? Life is so unpredictable, this yr i have so many ups and downs happening, lucky to have my darling to be born happy & healthy, i hope things will turn better every year for me & family.
STAND WITH ME, BE WITH ME!!!
