Love and hate relationship…

Both Zoey and Chloe have a love and hate relationship since Chloe know the meaning of “friend”. Both of them could be such a loving baby – played with each other, kissing each other , can change to fighting with each other pulling each other hair and pitching each other hand and so on. yet they still missed each other when either one of them are not around.
Chloe will wait her sister goes to school before she took her morning nap. she want to see her sister goes to school and said bye bye to each other and seeing her sister walked into school before she agreed to take her nap in her sarong. Chloe took her morning nap around 830am for about 1-2 hours as she woke up around 600am as I need to get them ready to my mom house before I goes to work. so they are used to getting up quite early since they are babies…

They will played together like other kids when they liked and when they don’t like each other, they fight among themselves. I used to hear Chloe saying this to me ” ah mi, I don’t like jie jie”" or “; I no friend jie jie”. sometimes she said ” Jie Jie noaughty, take rotan beat jie jie” …all this was communicated by Chloe when she is angry with jie jie or fighting with jie jie.
As for Zoey, the most she do was showing her temper to her mei mei or screaming for help. She loves her sister very much and since young we told her that she cannot beat mei mei , must sayang mei mei. maybe because of this, she used to be the one who got beaten by her sister, be it pulling her hair, got bitten by her sister and so on.

Finally I’m back
… online..I having so much problem with maxis broadband till I so fed up with their service and decided to asked hubby to cancel the line once and forever. now I using Digi broadband which are much cheaper than my maxis package and the speed are slightly better than maxis. Hope this will last… some update on the girls what we do on our MIA mission..
For the past one week, the girls are still sick after a week long of sickness. Zoey and Chloe both cought the flu and cough bug and was on medication for almost 2 weeks and to make the matter worse, Zoey have contacted with the tummy upset on monday evening which force us to take her to DSH A&E dept that night. Throughout the night, she refused to take her milk and was only on 100 plus to avoid her from dehydrated. Her condition are getting worse early tuesday morning and hubby decided to take emeergency leave to bring her to see her Paed Doc – Dr Musa. Since I have my reporting deadlines the day itself, I have no choice to be in the office that day and hubby kept me update on Zoey conditions.
Thank goodness both of them getting better now although still having some slight flu and cough now and then.

….a piece of white cloth..
There are many saying that a child is like a piece of white cloth the moment they are borned to this world. We as the parent need to lead them the good way so that the cloth are drawn with all the good values and not to be polluted with any bad values…
Before we have our kids, myself and hubby have set our agreement that no harsh word will be used should we have a disagreement and if can, not in front of the kids. till now, I can say is we managed to do it and normally if we do have our disagreement, we will not use english to conversed as Zoey and Chloe are english spoken kids and they can catch the words easily and normally we use cantonese in our day to day conversation as both of them are still not able to understand most of the words.
As a mother myself which grown up in a situation a number of harsh words being use as the day to day communication, I wish that my kids arenot grown up in such situation just like what I have gone through. words like, binatang, sampah etc are banned from my home for my kids and normally we explained to Zoey that this is not a nice words to use and being a clever girl, you cannot use this word. I hope when she is big enough to read this journal, she knew why mommy is angry when she use the word.
As for hubby, he grown up in a close knit family and although his parent are strict, he grown in a family where he learn the value of the meaning of “family”. I learnt alot of what is the meaning of a “family values” from hubby family. when there is problem, all the family member are helping each other to solve the problem instead of finger pointing who is the wrong parties.. I learnt this quote” whatever is happened is already happened, now it is time for us to see how we solve it” … this is the value that my grandma always thought.
I hope that the piece of cloth that are meant for my kids are drawn with happiness and good values in their life and the challenges that they face when they are a big girl…

This is my “teeth”….

Both of them showing off their teeth after brushing their teeth in the morning. Chloe have been pestering us to buy her a tooth brush so that she can brush her teeth like jie jie and yesterday, while we were @ tesco after our hair-cutting session for Zoey @ curve, we brought her the long waited tooth brush from Jordan.

Zoey @ 4 years and 3 months old

Ever since we start her schooling last June, she changed alot. She able to mixed around with someone that she just got to know and no longer a mommy girl now. She will venture out from the secured mommy cicle on her own allthough sometimes she do feel unsecured when she does not see us around. other than that, she quite independent and like to do her thing alone now. she also want some quiet time of her own without mei mei and will request to be alone. normally we let her be alone in her room and she will do whatever she want to do like writing, and playing her toys.

She likes to talk about her school every day to me. We will have our chit chat session on the way home or just before her sleeping time. she will let me know about her school, her friend and her teacher. she told me almost everything that happened in school on that day. I hope this will goes on until she in secondary school. I tried to have friendship with my kids rather than mother-daughter relationship. I would said currently Zoey treat me more like her friend where she share her thing and emotion with me quite well.
As for her food intake, since young she is quite picky about her food. she will pick and choose what to eat . She loves her food to be dry, no so much sauce and does not like her rice to be mixed with sauce. She loves soup but only if my mom cook. She does not like my soup cooking and always tell popo, ” I dont like mommy soup”. I’m not sure what goes wrong but as long as she took my cooking I think it is okay if she dont like my soup.
As for relationship with mei mei. she have a hate and love relationship. There are time where they are close and a minute later, they have started their fight against each other. Despite all this, she loves her sister so much and ensure that her sister are around her when we goes out. She will hold her mei mei hand in the lift and ensure mei mei not goes out from the lift without us and vice versa…

Chloe @ 2years and 3 month old

as usual this girl of mine are full of trick. She learn so much from her sister for the past few month and normally she is the one who entertain us the most now as compared to her sister. She are the one so talkative and tbe most question mark girl in our family now. Alot of Why, what and how question was asked by her till sometime we feel so difficult to provide an answer to her question.

when in come to her speech, she are more able to express herself well compared to her jie jie at her age. jie Jie still with her baby language and she are able to express herself more better than her sister. She can now talk in sentences be it in Malay and english. some of our conversation :
Chloe : ah Mi , today I dont want ta-ta ( kakak).
Mommy : why you dont want kakak”
Chloe ; Kakak busuk…
Mommy : then you asked kakak to take bath
she can use ” her and she;’ in her conversation to us. Sometimes she is the reporter to report what jie jie do @ popo house:
Mommy : Mei Mei , do you naughty at popo house? you got lau kai or not?
Chloe : Mei Mei clever girl today. Jie jie cried.
Mommy : why jie jie cried?
Chloe : Jie Jie “ta kau”
Mommy : hah, Jie Jie ta kau? Ta kau with who”
Chloe : with mei mei. Jie Jie push mei mei. mei mei fall down and cried. see, here pain pain. * point to her knee * po po angry. Po po scold jie jie…
she not really a picky person when it come to her food. She took whatever we gave her and quite seldom she will reject her food.
She is quite a naugty girl and always the ones who initiate a fight with her sister. she likes to take whatever her jie jie thing and claimed her ones which start another fight with jie jie. Jie Jie sometimes gave in and sometimes we wont allowed it. We make it clear that if that thing belong to jie jie you need to asked permission to play with it from jie jie and vice versa. Sometimes: you hear this ” Jie Jie – share share with mei mei. mei mei want to play” or sometimes ” jie jie, come (and) play with mei mei. share share kay.” or sometimes, she just snatched the toy from jie jie and run away…
