There are times...

There are times when I wake up, the weather is good and birds are singing loud out there. I feel like picking up a simple luggage bag and go honey moon with Jo. Then I look down, two little fellows looking at me, one just finished his breakfast and one needed to be spoon fed.

There are times when I walk on the street alone after work, the night is still young and people are gathering in pub having a good laughing time. I just feel like calling out my long lost touch girlfriends and have a good night-out. Then my phone rings, it's my boy. He asks whether I'm on my way home, and tells me he behaves well in grandma's house.

There are times when I sit on the bed, the house is quiet and it is still early for a day. I wonder how my life would be if I'm still single or married without kids. Then I turn to my side, my girl climbs over and rests herself on me, patting my breasts to tell me she feels safe with me around. 

There are many times I allow myself to travel into different phases in my life whether past or future, and immerse myself in my imagination. Sometimes I see wonderful images and faces, sometimes I don't. Sometimes I feel I will be happier in there, but most of the time I bring myself back to real life and appreciate what I have is already the best. And I feel loved...

A fine breakfast

I always think a fine Saturday morning is a good time to enjoy breakfast with family! But I hardly have one ever since I become a mother... The timing is always not right and I always have a lot of things to do, or I am just too tired to wake up for breakfast.

That day I saw Jayden was busy with his cooking toys...


Jayden: Mummy, I'm very busy. I'm cooking...
Mummy: Ok, I can see that. What are you cooking?
Jayden: I will give you a surprise...

And this was the surprise from him. And I think it was a fine breakfast...

Quick pancake

I can't remember exactly when Jayden started pestering me about making him pancake for breakfast. When I say pestering means real pestering, every now and then, keep asking, non-stop!!! And I only made him his first pancake about 3 months later. I couldn't believe he could ask for the same thing persistently for 3 months (and I could stand for it and put aside every time he requested for 3 months, what a mother I am!). It was a classic pancake I made for him, i.e. with flour and sugar and salt. It tastes like any normal pancake and I think it isn't something to be excited about. He stopped asking for it thereafter.

Lately he has this pancake fever started again!!! This time I made him a variation, I call it 'quick pancake' because the preparation is super fast and EASY!! What you need is banana and eggs, 1:1 ratio.

Preparation:
1. Smash banana (over ripe banana will be better)
2. Beat eggs
3. Mix smashed banana into eggs, stir well
4. Scoop the banana-eggs and grill it using sauce pan (without oil), on small fire
5. Turn to the other side when it doesn't stick to the pan (normally about 1 min or less)
6. It is ready to serve when both sides turn light brown

Jayden loves this quick pancake... yummy yummy!

It has been a year...

It has been a year since I last posted a post... I was suffering from post natal depression at that time. Of course, I didn't take a year to walk out from the dark. But things have changed and dragged me away from the interest of creating any posts. Or there were moments that I would like to pick it up again, but I was too lazy...

I was housekeeping all the photos in my laptop and iphone this morning. I see how my kids grow up in their very own way and how me and Jo grow old. I see Jayden from a new born skinny old man looking baby to a chubby cute little 1yo boy, and to a 4yo charming cheerful boy today. I see Tze Ee from a new born frown looking baby to a cheeky cute little 6mo girl, and to a 14mo pretty happy girl. I see Jo from a young looking man to a father-of-two, still looking fit yet more matured. I see myself from a young fresh uni graduates to a married young lady, and to a mother-of-two. Time flies... and I suddenly realised how much I would have missed in my life if I don't record it somehow somewhere.

And here is where I'm going to start again...

子乐自我招供篇


事因当天一早。。。

妈咪:“子乐,今天不能吃嬷嬷带来的keropok。记得啊!”
子乐:“为什么?”
妈咪:“因为你要生病了啊!还是不要吃了,等确定没有生病才吃吧!”
子乐:“好吧!”

中午林伯吃keropok时。。。

林伯:“(用鬼鬼祟祟的声音说话)子乐,来来!给你吃keropok。”
子乐:“(同样用鬼鬼祟祟的声音回话)不可以!!妈咪讲不可以吃的!!”
林伯:“(继续用鬼鬼祟祟的声音说话)一点点,妈咪不知道没有关系。”
子乐眼睛一亮,然后把手放在嘴上做出‘嘘’的样子,很快把林伯给的keropok吃了!

林伯事后背着子乐告诉妈咪,叫妈咪不要揭穿。好啦,那我就当做不知道好了。午饭时,子乐最后还是妈咪的好孩子,他自我招供了,还教训了林伯一下,哈哈!

子乐:“妈咪,我有一件事情要告诉你。”
妈咪:“什么事啊?”
子乐:“刚才daddy给我吃keropok,然后我吃了。”
妈咪:“哦,不是说好了不可以吃吗?”
子乐:“daddy给我吃的,daddy讲可以。”
林伯:“哦,你赖daddy?你吃了还做嘘的表情。”
子乐:“可是你给我吃的嘛!”
林伯:“daddy给你又吃?”
子乐:“你知道不可以你又给我吃。下次不要这样了!”
林伯:“ok,sorry!我知道了!”

子乐在完全不知道妈咪知情的情况下,最终忍不住良心的谴责而自我招供了。感觉欣慰的同时,听到父子俩的对话感觉好好笑!

妈咪正在喂母乳。。。

子乐:“妈咪,妹妹在喝nen nen啊?
妈咪:“嗯,对呀!”
子乐:“这一边是nen nen,那另一边是白开水啊?”
妈咪:“啊?为什么?”
子乐:“因为姨姨家的妹妹喝了nen nen要喝白开水的。”
妈咪:“哦。。。”

无言。。。

子乐与妈咪 | 童言童语(十一)

妈咪:子乐,你真的要跟公公嬷嬷回登嘉楼吗?
子乐:嗯!我要回去十天罢了!
妈咪:罢了?ok。那你回去要怎样啊?
子乐:要乖乖,喝多多水,要睡觉,要和姐姐share share玩具。
妈咪:妈咪会很想念子乐。。。

子乐什么也没说,走上前抱着我。子乐才四岁但感觉他长大了好多。

今天是他人生第一次在没有我的陪伴下出远门,一去就十多天。送他上车时,我鼻酸眼湿而他倒还ok。我这个没用的老妈子!

他学习没有我的独立,我学习放手。。。

子乐与妈咪 | 童言童语(七)

子乐是个闲来无事就想着吃东西的小男生(但奇怪就吃不胖)。这天晚上我和林伯在吃晚餐时。。。

子乐:"爹地,我可以吃Calci-yum(一种yogurt)吗?"
爹地:"没有了,吃完了。"
子乐:"我开冰橱看一下?"
爹地:"哎呀!你吃葡萄啦!"
子乐:"OK!"

葡萄吃完后。。。

子乐:"妈咪,我可以吃香蕉吗?"
爹地:"不可以,晚上不可以吃!"
妈咪:"好啦!我留给你明天吃。"
子乐:"醤我可以吃饼干吗?"
妈咪:"不要一直想着吃啦!等下要睡了又吵要喝奶。"

子乐就坐在饭厅等着。这时妈咪开始吃子乐超爱的香蕉。换作平时他会叫我不要吃掉他的份,这天。。。

子乐:"妈咪,我跟你讲,不可以吃太多香蕉的!"
妈咪:"(超想笑但忍着)为什么?大人可以在晚上吃香蕉,没关系。"
子乐:"我知道!可是不可以吃太多,会咳嗽生痰!不可以的!"

子乐说得越是认真我越想笑。。。

妈咪:"你是怕我把香蕉吃完吧?哈哈哈。。。"

子乐先是一起笑,过后就不好意思的尴尬笑。。。这个小男生好可爱啊!我的儿子。。。

子乐与妈咪 | 童言童语(六)

日前妈咪和子乐冲凉时聊到了家里的花洒的各种水力选择和功能。昨天。。。

子乐:"妈咪,我要冲那个三号的可以吗?"
妈咪:"可以啊!可是你不是说水力太大痛痛吗?而且你又没有腰酸背痛,要按摩咩?"

过后在穿衣时,子乐好像想到什么。。。

子乐:"妈咪,我是小朋友,所以不会腰酸背痛。"
妈咪:"哦。。。"
子乐:"是这样的,一定是!嗯!我知道是这样的,对!!!"
妈咪:"OK。。。"
子乐:"爹地妈咪是大人,所以会腰酸背痛。婆婆老了,所以就更更更会腰酸背痛!"

妈咪心想这小瓜还真会推理,就想顺势教他多疼爱长辈。结果。。。

妈咪:"所以你要帮忙按摩,sayang爹地妈咪和婆婆啰!"
子乐:"哦!我知道!"

没多久。。。

子乐:"可是没有办法,妈咪!因为老了是这样的,是会腰酸背痛的,没有办法的!"(还是用一种无奈的表情说出这番话)

妈咪:"。。。"

Mr Oh Dear

While playing his toy cars:

"Oh dear! My car is broken."

While watching accident in the news:
"Oh dear! Got accident!"

While having dinner his own:
"Oh dear! Food dropped on the floor."

While wee wee and poo poo:
"Oh dear! Wee wee is outside the potty!"

One classic one... There was once his sister suddenly cried out loud.
"Oh dear! Oh dear... (running towards his sister who was lying on the floor mat) Oh dear, what's the matter?!?!"

I wonder who taught him this phrase, so drama!!

子乐与妈咪 | 童言童语(五)

妈咪在准备帮子乐穿睡衣。。。

子乐:妈咪妈咪,等一下!!!给我看一下!
妈咪:看什么?
子乐:(用手翻看衣号,然后一副很夸张的开心表情)妈咪,我现在四岁了咧!!!
妈咪:嗯,对呀!子乐四岁穿四号的睡衣啰!
子乐:(还是一副很夸张的开心表情,这次还有一点骄傲)妈咪,过后我就五岁,然后六岁,然后就七岁,八岁,九岁,然后就十岁了咧!!!(说的当儿因为兴奋而越说越大声)
妈咪:(配合一下,给一个很夸张开心的表情)是啰!很快就十岁了!太好了!!!
子乐:你也觉得很快,是吗?到时我就会自己驾车了啰!
妈咪:那又没有那么快可以驾车。
子乐:那我不是要等很久?你不是也觉得很快咩?现在又讲没有那么快,很矛盾的妈咪!
妈咪:。。。(无言。好像是你先讲很快的,我只是配合而已)

衣服穿好后,子乐还碎碎念了一阵妈咪很矛盾的事。。。

妈咪晕倒。。。

子乐与妈咪 | 童言童语(一)

妈咪:这一个新年妈咪很不开心。
子乐:为什么?
妈咪:因为妈咪乖乖听话的子乐不见了。他没有share share玩具,没有爱护弟弟妹妹,又没有叫人。。。
子乐:妈咪,那个坏的子乐在我的身体是吗?
妈咪:嗯!你可以帮我找回乖乖的子乐吗?
子乐:嗯!妈咪,我把坏的子乐锁起来给police man抓走了。我是好的子乐了。(然后给妈咪一个紧紧的抱抱)

妈咪感动。。。事后是有比较乖一点。
