Distraction

Having P at the front seat while i m driving is a big NO NO. She can be very distracting. She asked too much questions and i cant concentrate on the road, especially when the road is jam.

P: Mummy, y r u driving?
Me: Becos.....
P: Mummy, can i touch this?
Me: What do u want to touch?
P: Mommy, it is coming (pointing at the crane outside)
Me: What is coming?
P: Mummy, I swim this morning
Me: During water play? Did u jump into the pool?
P: Mummy, where is papa? He working? y he nt driving?

The questions keep repeating after awhile, like CD on repeat mode......  Lessson learnt, she cant sit in the front seat

Random Rant

Recently we noticed that P is getting super out of hand. Cry or scream when she cant get what she want. Doesnt seeem to be interested in food at all not to mention sleeping habit. Sleeping way after 930pm, crying/shouting in the middle of the night and crawling over to our bed almost every early morning. Sometimes when she cried, vomit followed. After all the cleaning up and i cant fall back to sleep. My sleep are disturbed, when i dun get enuff sleep i get FAT... hahaha..... Whereas when ATM start losing weight when he dun get enuff sleep. We are liek the total opposite, i m FAT he is thin... Opposite attracts?

My dad is back in town, means more laundry n housework. But on the good side is, i can throw P to him if i need some ME time. P is like his shadow, i think is becos of his Iphone, dad lets her play with it. On the downside, P will b slightly out of control till my dad leave. As he think we are to strict/fierce to her. Grandparents.........

At work, noting seems to be goin on the right path. Instrument broke down for months now, and the work is piling up. Experiments are not going smoothly, basically nothing works. All the cover shoes that i wore to work all end up in the bin, 3 pairs this month. What is wrong? Is it because it is 7 month?

My craftroom aka guestroom was locked up as i dun allow P to enter, since dad is ard. The room is like a mess, i m packing my stuff in boxes as dad will b here till March then mom is coming. I m quite reluctant  to shift to the studies (my area is a bit small, P have full access to the studies). All the work is piling up, nothing get done/finish, I m still stuck with the crochet granny square blanket.

On the bright side, I will be away (unfortunately, P n ATM will be tagging along) where i will not need to dirty my hand. I m going to visit my grandma and celebrate her birthday with her. Bought a set of baju kebaya for P, so she can take some nice photo wif her chor chor. Hope she will learn some peranakan culture at the same time. I m still looking for my baju, most likely i will need to customise it.

Pain pain

Was backing up files from the dying desktop to my HDD. Wow i have so much rubbish in the PC. Found some clips and showed it to P. She just looked horrified and kept saying baby pain pain while holding my hand. Wonder if she knows tt little baby is her?

This was taken a few hours after P was out, the newborn diaper looked so huge on her... She was on the ventilator but requested to go on CPAP. I didnt get to see her till the next day as i m still recovering from the C-section

This was taken on the 2nd day, she was on CPAP (it looks so big on her nostril) and covered with tubes. She had jaundice and was under UV. She looked so tiny. This little box was her home for a good 32 days during her time in NICU, before transfering to SCN where she spend another 30 days there to put on weight and learnt to sync her breathing, sucking and swallowing without turning blue and a hernia surgery. Life in the box is like taking roller coaster ride, u will never know what the medical teams will tell u, it is so unpredictable.  

Ugly

ATM needed a tie for some formal event on Thursday. All his ties were so old fashion that P told him is ugly. So off we go to shop. The sales lady started to show ATM tie to match his shirt. P told the lady, dont show (asking her to stop), ugly, my papa likes tis (pointing to a silver plain tie), nice.

We all stood there and have a good laugh. Last year this time, P wasnt toking much, we are worried that she had speech issue. Look at here, 1 year later, she is speaking like an adult with a mind of her own.

Is OK

Time of the month, was lying on the bed, just wana be left alone. P jumped onto me, I actually shouted at her. Poor little gal was a bit shocked.

P: What happened, Mommy?
Me: Tummyache
P patting my back, looked at me and said: is ok, is ok, come i give u a hug
It was such a sweet gesture from her.... For awhile, period pain seems to have gone away.

Food from my Kitchen

I enjoyed cooking if there is some1 who is more than willing to clean up :) P is my little helper who helps with carrying the pots and pans and with getting the ingredients. She is nt allowed to use the knifes yet. I tried letting her with scissors but she end up cutting my 2 SGD50 notes into half. Currently she is ban from using the sharps.

 I wish i have a big kitchen with an island in the middle, it will be easier for P n me to bond in the kitchen. Last week was a western week.

Wholemeal pasta with seafood. My dad is around, so there is my 2000 Merlot, since ATM doesnt appreciate alcohol of all kinds. 

This is a very sad looking shepperd pie wanabe but is tasty. Using my chieken pie filling and topped it with mash. P had 2 serving of it during lunch.

Misulo 3rd class - Insects

This week, the theme of the class is insects. There is a very smart little girl in P's classmate, very lovely little gal. She seems to know a lot abt insect, she even knows the feeler on the butterfly is called antenna. For her age, it is amazing. P did some painting of butterflies and sing song abt butterflies. Class will stop for 2 weeks, due to the PE and they having some exhibition in suntec.

wearing the antenna that was made in the class. ATM said she looks like 孙悟空
