一个不小心,又让人摆了一道.

just a simple innocent email... and then kenna 反咬一口.....

sometimes i really dont know what these pple get out of it. 

why like that??! 

honestly, im just a simpleton. i dont like to 思前想后, 想会不会得罪人,想会不会害到人,顾前顾后, before i say or do something. so, in order not to say or do the wrong things, i chose to keep quiet and be solo as much as possible. 少说少错。少做少错。

compared to N 年前的我, i really 收敛很多了. 

but somehow, 还是会踩到一些狗的尾巴,让它们乱吠乱咬......

人在做,天在看.

心肠这么歹毒,一定会有报应的

please cultivate some good karma for the next generation la.

Happy birthday.......


To me!!!!!!!!!

Sunday, September 16, 2018

participated in my division's CSR event ytd. 

tasks were to teach the old folks to do mooncakes and lanterns..

tada, looks pro yeah?

was reminded by a colleague not to post the bene on social media to protect their privacy, henceforth, blanking out the uncle's face. 



was chatting w the uncle and he's 83 yo, staying alone in a 1-room flat nearby. asked him how about his meals? he said he does his own cooking. asked him how about the ingredients? he said he will go the the ntuc once a week to stock up on the ingredients. 

the other uncle whom i chatted with is slightly worse off. he is wheelchair bound and 1 hand is too weak to move already. also cannot really speak properly liao, but managed to hear him say he's staying w a room-mate and there will be pple who deliver food to him. and he usually doesnt go out, cuz of the inconvenience. but apparently he's not that old. he said he's 66yo.. 

人到老年真的很可怜. especially staying alone... who to help if anything were to happen?

then was at another place and saw another old man happily playing with the grandchild. 

为甚么有些老来可以含饴弄孙,有些却要孤独一人呢?

but then again, while we sympathise them, maybe they are enjoying 一个人的无忧无虑呢?

well, i dont know. 

though CSR events are for good causes, i always get very emo during and after that. like going to old folks home, orphanage, or special schools.. 

just hope 大家可以开心安康....

Our box of mooncake for this yr


Over the years, I only bother to buy the raffles snowskin mooncakes for our own consumption. 

But this yr, happened to be at jurong point's mooncake festival fair and tasted this sheraton hotel Li Bai's snowskin mooncakes.

Resemble that of Raffles's, and tasted not bad too.  So hubb bought a box. 


Umm, it's not bad la. 4 flavours - truffle chocolate, lychee martini, champagne chocolate and lemongrass chocolate flavour.

But verdict is, raffles mooncake is still the best. Really yummy.

Shall see if got chance to get a box this yr.

And these mooncakes.. really more and more of a gimmick than tradition. Taste aside, I guess the competition is also on the packaging. The packaging for some of the brands are really super nice la. And the flavors, also getting more and more fanciful.. what mango la, strawberry cheese la, gula melaka la... really.. patterns a lot these days....

Haii

Tough nights these days.

Didi's sleeping pattern really is 时好时坏。

There were times when he slept thru.... but there were also times when he was a complete terror at night..

The best scenario will be of cuz, to sleep thru without waking up.

2nd best scenario will be that he fidgets here n there but can go back to sleep on his own.

3rd best will be that he cries out a little, but can go back to sleep with a little help ie, patting 

4th best will be that he wakes up, but goes back to sleep after we moved him out of the cot and into the rocking chair.

5th best, or rather, bad is when we have to make milk for him. Still not so bad if he goes back to sleep after drinking the milk.

Worse is when he doesn't go back to sleep even after drinking the milk. 

Worst is when he cries and vomits after drinking the milk. And after all the din, he still doesn't want to sleep!!!!!!!

That was what happened  just now.

OMG.

Really don't know what he wants xia.

Obviously not hungry. Asked him what he wants, he kept pointing at the door and say 'there'. Opened the door and he led us to the kitchen where the milk powder is placed. Told him no more milk as he had just drank. He kind of accepted it and walked back to the room and laid on the mattress. Put him back in cot and he starting crying again. No choice, put him on the floor mattress again. After a while, he wanted to cry again. Finally, put him on the rocking chair which he finally fell back to sleep.

Wah. Simidaiji xia.....???

My best bet is that he's teething. That probably explains the crankiness. How to help him to help ourselves hurrrr?

Cannot remember when rayous finally learnt to sleep thru  consistently. But I remembered rayous wasn't easy also. He was also one boy who doesn't want to sleep in the cot. So we let him sleep on the bed w us. But we cannot do the same for Didi. Cuz if he sleeps in the middle w rayous, scare rayous will kick or sleep on him. If he sleeps at the side, scare he will fall off the bed. So.. for didi, I guess it will take longer for him to slp thru on his cot...

Haii

Yeah. All these are just part and parcel and it will not last forever. Embrace while it last yeah.

And.. it doesn't help when MIL is requesting us not to return home too late to fetch the boy(s). Apparently, she has difficulty handling the 2 boys at night. 

Understandable, cuz this rayous can really be a handful and this didi also 不是省油的灯。this rayous is always running about and easy for him to knock onto didi. So the solution is to hold on to didi. However, this didi doesn't want to be held onto and always wants to walk/run in the house too. So, can be quite headache when both of them starts running in the hse cuz u just won't know when they will just knock onto each other...

 And rayous always wanna hit/kicks the didi when the didi agitates him unknowingly. And when he feels indignant when he got scolded, he breaks down... ahhhhh...

Yes. I know the difficulty Mil is facing. But if everyday rush home after work, also v siann leh. But if don't rush home after work, also have to worry if Mil can cope... 

Haii. Hen sian.

Anyway, mai complain liao la. In the first place,  if there is no Mil,  it should have been worse already. 

看着办吧。

Just hope the 2 boys can guai guai, love each other, and create less trouble!!!.

Again,  it's all a passing phase. 

Embrace!!!!

4th AnniVerSaRy

our 4th yr wedding anniversary! 

a short getaway to batam! 

for our 4-hour massage package. hohoho

not plain 4 hours massage la. there are different treatments to choose from, so i chose massage, hair spa, facial, and milk bath. hubb chose more or less the same as me, but instead of hair spa, he did the hot massage. so, it's one hr for each treatment. 


our room for the massage and facial

and the room for the milk bath 

yeah, milk bath. haha

and then the late lunch/early dinner that was included in the package

indonesian food 

and fruit fondue which we added 

and then slacking at the lobby while waiting for the driver to drive us back to the ferry terminal 

can actually stay overnight at the resort, but we cannot la, cuz of the children. and also, this resort only entertain guests above 15yo. so.... no chance to bring the children along in the near future either.. too bad. 

overall not bad la, but kept kenna woken up. cuz it's one hour per treatment ma. so fell asleep liao, will shortly kenna waken up to do the next treatment. so i guess, next time just do a 2hr massage straight. then can get 'undisturbed' sleep. LOL

had a quick dinner at the ferry terminal, while waiting for our ferry. a disappointing ayam penyat. the chicken was so small and overly fried, so different from the pic shown la. boohoo.


and then, my gift!! apparently, supposed to be my bday gift, but hubb decided to give me this earlier... 



yeahh. 

happy 4th anniversary!
