My Little Terrors

To answer Mumsgather’s meme (errr..a bit too late hor?), there’snothing much that I wish to do on this particular day. Just hope that our little terrors will grow up healthy and happy. I would like to take this opportunity to wish other mummies “Happy Mother’s Day”.

Daddykhong brought us to Bubba Gump on their opening week for an early Mother’s Day celebration. Food was ok but they imported a team from Philippines to train their Malaysian crew and we couldn’t understand what they were saying even though we’re sure it was English!

HAPPY ANNIVERSARY, DEAR! Thanks for being a good father of our two lovely little terrors.

Saturday, 3rd May 2008 is a very important day for me. On that day, I started wearing panties (mummykhong: He can’t differentiate between panties and underwear yet! LOL!).

Actually the bigger news is that I stopped wearing diapers 1 whole week prior to wearing panties. If I do have to wear diapers (at night or for long drives), they remain dry.

Sometimes at night, I would wake up in the middle of the night to use the toilet but when I am too tired, I just wee in my diapers

Mummykhong says:

Previously we had to remember where the baby rooms are located in the various shopping malls. Nowadays we have to remember where the toilets are and which ones to avoid.

If Braedyn has to pee in the open then we have taught him to ask for permission from his ancestors (Chinese belief to always ask for permission when peeing in the open) but all he says is “Ah Gong, Ah Por….Thank you”. The actual request, he doesn’t say!

Nowadays there’s nothing much to write about. Life is quite routine. Here’s what we’ve done so far this month.

Wendy’s @ Sunway Pyramid - 6 April 2008

Finally, Wendy’s is back in Malaysia. I remember the one in Sungei Wang with fond memories.

We brought Braedyn and Shayanne there on their 2nd day of business because we wanted to find out if they are better than Carl’s Junior. I had the chicken something, daddykhong had their 3/4 pounder & Chili, Braedyn had his nuggets (they taste much better than McDonalds) and Shayanne had fun looking at Wendy’s Girls!

Good things never change

Daddykhong waited 20 years for this

Look at the hair (not the bottom)!

Penang BBQ - 15 April 2008

Corporate dinner on the beach. We just had to drive up after lunch, eat for 4 hours, then drive down to KL again. Tiring for the car.

Daddykhong used to get home around 930pm onwards in the old days. Nowadays he gets home at about 8:55pm!!! despite setting himself a target of 8pm. Well, that’s a story for another day.

We try to rush our dinner and night errands (yes, daddykhong brings back his work to run his night errands - mainly visiting banks to use their wonderful machines). Braedyn knows all the banks now. Maybank is “Tiger Bank”.

The plan is to drop whatever we’re doing at 10pm and make our way home. We expect to get into bed at 11pm to commence our story time and at midnight, it’s lights off. If one of us is up to it, we get up after the kids fall asleep and get some work done in the study. So far, we have been following that schedule pretty well (except for the “waking up to do work” part!).

Braedyn and Shayanne choose the books they want us to read and usually it’s this thick book of short stories which he calls “Horse Book” because his favourite story in the book has a character called “Betsy the Horse”. Shayanne would sit quietly besides Braedyn during story-time. I would read the book, daddykhong would read his old papers (he has a growing pile of newspapers, some from the days when this country used to be ruled by half-baked idiots, to go through).

After story-time, Braedyn will allocate our sleeping positions by saying “Mei Mei sleep there (pointing to the head of the bed), Mummy sleep here (pointing at a spot next to Shayanne), Braedyn sleep Mummy (his grammar needs brushing up), Daddy sleep back (referring to the tail end of the bed)”.

Of course, Daddykhong gets very bored when he’s always at the end of the bed so lately he’s been negotiating with Braedyn to get slotted into the spot next to me with Braedyn taking the end of the bed. It didn’t work initially until 1 day last week, Daddykhong pretended to cry when he didn’t get allocated to the spot next to me. Braedyn then looked worried then quickly said “Daddy sleep mummy. Braedyn sleep back”.

Daddykhong immediately said, “OK, thank you. Lights off” and we all went to bed.

Last Night

Sometimes Shayanne just refuses to sleep. Usually it is not an issue with Braedyn as he goes to bed very tired.

Last night, Shayanne kept playing peekaboo with kor-kor with mummy in-between. She would slowly stand up, give us her cheeky smile and say……..”CHAK!!!”

Braedyn will then laugh and stand up as well. They both sit down and the cycle continues.

After a while, the very tired daddykhong got up, shouted at Braedyn to get to bed, gave Shayanne a spank, only then did she lie down.

A couple of weeks back, Braedyn had a video shoot for a commercial. He was an extra who would appear in the background of a press conference of kids. Here are some photos…..

We managed to sneak into Opal Damansara condo in Sunway Damansara for a preview.

Nice place. Low-density and has a nice resort feel to it. The children loved it.

Shayanne maintaining her weight by chewing on calcium supplements. She’s a health freak!

Topped up with a generous amount of exercise on the see-saw. This is her first time unaided on the see-saw.

Kor-kor is now big enough to push Mei-mei on the swing.
