Great artist at home

Jayden got a drawing board from his 1 year old birthday. He didn't show much interest when we showed it to him. This became one of his favourites later when he found the fun of it.



We keep all toys in a box, and now he always pick this up first. He will drew something using the drawing stick, then move the round and square chops round the board. He is expert in handling those things. He normally doesn't spend much time on it, but once he is doing it, he is very serious until he completes the drawing.



This is one of his drawings... From a 1 year old boy, I think this is nice!

New jersey for little Kop

The Kop bought new jersey for little Kop after Liverpool's sponsor changed to Standard Chartered. Red striking jersey with name and number printed behind.



Kid jersey set comes with jersey, matching pants and socks. It is still a bit big for Jayden but should be fine after few months time. We can't wait to put it on him immediately upon receiving the parsel from UK. He seems excited too! I think Jo has successfully introduced him to football and Liverpool. He gets excited when he sees a ball, and able to pronounce ball clearly. He laughs out loud when Jo is doing heading and wants to be part of the play. He is able to sit with Jo to watch football match... And he is wearing Liverpool jersey. I'm not sure about future but at least he is a little Kop now... haha!



Jo was wondering what number to be printed behind the jersey and asked me for opinion. After thinking through, I suggested number 7. Mummy is number 10 for obvious reason given by daddy, and little Kop is number 7 because he was borned in July. Somehow I find number 7 suits Jayden a lot, for no reason. He is the number 7 boy to me.

Thanks Yaya!

I am finally convinced to get weekly cleaning service for our house. Jo prefers to spend more money in exchange of having more time for both of us. He made a right decision to convince me, and I made a right decision to be convinced!

My maid, Yaya will come every Sunday morning at around 6:30am. Jayden will normally wake up at around 10am. This means I have three and a half hours 'personal time'. For someone who has small kids will know what that means and how precious it is. Without the maid, I don't have the excuse and won't bother to wake up so early. Despite of waking up earlier than working days, I am still very happy and looking for it every week.

I will normally do laundry and prepare porridge for Jayden before the maid arrives. Then slowly enjoy my breakfast and get on to the net. If not, I can do some reading which I can never be able to do so if Jayden is around. By the time the little fellow wakes up, I have completed all I have to do and fully recharged. And that will last me for the following one week.

I insist of not having a maid that stays in the same house. But I don't mind to have a maid who comes weekly and go. Life is so much easier now and I have more time for myself!! Of course, the best part is day is still long after the maid goes. Everything is done and I have all day with my boys!!

Wild ass

I was reading the due diligence report provided by our external consultant one day and......

... the Project area is located near the Wild Ass Sanctuary... mainly harbours the endangered wild ass sub-species Indian Wild Ass...

Clearly enough it is a kind of animal, but what is it? I find the name owesome.

Checking out Wikipedia: The Indian wild ass (Equus hemionus khur) also called khur, is a subspecies of the Onager native to Southern Asia. The coat is usually sandy, but varies from reddish grey, fawn, to pale chestnut. The animal possesses an erect, dark mane which runs from the back of the head and along the neck. The mane is then followed by a dark brown stripe running along the back, to the root of the tail...

I still can't quite figure out what is it...



Now I know... it actually looks like donkey / horse. Cute animal with an owesome name...... Didn't expect to pick up this by doing a wind power project, cool!

Lucky me

Nowadays are busy days... The past one month was the busiest time since I came back from maternity. My daily routine was reading contracts, mark up contracts, reading term sheets, mark up term sheets, updating financial model, conference calls, replying emails...... on and on and on, never ending~~~ Not only me, the whole project team is working like a dog, and everyday back home like a log!

There was one night when Jayden woke up at around 3am and refused to sleep. So we had a night talk, the first time! We both lied on the bed, face to face, and I started telling him what happened in the day and how tired I was. I didn't expect him to really listen to me, instead I expected him to fall asleep because I was telling him something happened in the adult world. I thought he may find it boring. But, he looked into my eyes quietly and listened to me. The entire conversation was nearly one hour, and he didn't show a single sign of sleepiness or boredom. He was really listening to me! And he came to sayang me at the end of the conversation! I was tired but happy to have such a nice talk with him. He is such a nice boy...

I am lucky because I have a great mum to take care of Jayden in the day, and have a great husband to take care of Jayden in the night before I came home. I also have an understanding boy in the midnight... ha!
