Updates

Its been a long time since I update my blog. Told myself must update regularly as my gals are growing up very fast & I want to jot down their development so that me & hubby can reminisce when we grow old.

Quick Update
Mindy is 8 mths plus now (will upload the latest photos soon) & will wean her off breast milk soon.
Zoey is the leader among the 3 sisters. She has the leadership quality in her.
Joy is the temperamental one. Her art work is quite good. Thinking of sending her to art classes.

Me: I bought one for you already
Joy: That one is butterfly wings.
Me: Its the same ma.
Joy: But butterfly cannot fly. I wear already cannot fly.
Me: Faint

Zoey 1st Birthday Celebration Part 1

Zoey birthday cake cutting time. She cant wait to get her hands on the cake :)


The cake is from Pine Garden. Upper tier is lychee martini & lower tier is fresh strawberry cream cake.

There is a Chinese saying. During a child 1 year old bday, place a book, a calculater & food on the floor & see which one the child prefer. If u pick up calculater, next time you will be an accountant & so on..... By looking at the picture, u should know what did Zoey chose rite.

Zoey is afraid of the sand. so she prefer to stay put at the newspaper. hahaha

Joy with Papa

Sensible Girl

Our whole family has been sick for almost a month :(

It first started with Joy, then spread to Zoey. While they are recovering, mama fall sick followed by Papa. Then Mama spread the germs back to Joy & Zoey & they spread the germs back to Mama again. Now Mama on antibiotics & hope all will recover in time for Zoey's 1 Year Old Birthday celebration held on 9th Nov.

Since all are not feeling well, we have been leaving only 1 girl to sleep with us at nite, another girl will spend the nite at ah ma house. Yesterday was Joy's turn to sleep at ah ma house (Joy has refuse to sleep overnight at ah ma house & will scream & cry to get her way).

Papa was tasked to bring Joy to ah ma house, he explained (lied) to her that Papa & Mama has to work & she is going to ah ma house to sleep because no one is at home etc. She listened to Papa words intensely. After Papa finished, Joy sensibly says Papa go work, Joy Joy good girl ok.

When Papa offered to rock her to sleep, she says nooo.. ah gong yao yao (rock) you.

My heart felt so warmed when Papa relate all these to me. She is such a sensible girl. How can i not love her & pamper her occasionally.

Loving

See how loving the 2 sisters are



Mama wants to join in too

2 Down

This year Children's Day was a very lousy one. Joy has spread her illness to Zoey & she was sick since Children's Day at 3.30pm :(

Why i remember the timing so clearly is that we are about to prepare to attend my cousin's daughter 1 year old birthday celebration at East Coast chalet after Zoey's nap. When she woke up, we realise that she had running nose & her voice was coarse. True enough, a few hours later, she had fever.

Zoey fever just subside today but her nose is still like tap water & is very cranky. She could not sleep & eat/ drink well also :(

Joy has almost recovered but the cough might take a long time to recover.

After this episode, i will never let them take stuff which is taken out directly from thye fridge again (especially jelly).

Zoey, recover soon ok. Mama love you.

Greatest Regret

Since stepping into motherhood about 2 years ago, the greatest regret that I have is not giving my children breast milk.

When I gave birth to Joy, my milk supply is very low. At that time, I am not so resourceful to find information from the internet to boost my breast milk supply. I stress myself so much that hubby even spend almost $200 to buy an electric milk pump for me bcos a PD at Mount Alvernia mention that this might help to stimulate my supply.

After many tries, its still not sucessful, so eventually, i heed hubby advice & gave up.

When Zoey was born, I think I have enough milk supply bcos my engorgement was very severe. But I chose to give up without even trying bcos I have no helper during my confinement & my movement is restricted as my 2 births were by caesarian.

Because my children did not have the benefits of breast milk, they fall ill very often especially Joy. She was sick again on Sunday due to fever, cough & sore throat (Developing into flu). Whenever Joy is sick, it will spread to Zoey no matter how we separate them.

I really wish I can turn back time, to let me give them the best of everything. Wish them to be healthy & cheerful. Mummy love both of you, my darlings.
