子乐与妈咪 | 童言童语（十二）

妈咪帮刚冲好凉的子乐梳头。梳好后。。。

子乐：妈咪，我有美美吗？
妈咪：子乐，我们不用美来形容好看的男生。
子乐：哦。。。

沉默片刻，这小家伙突然很认真的说。。。

子乐：妈咪，我的Ah Kim很美的啊！
妈咪：谁是你的Ah Kim？
子乐：Lik叔叔的老婆咯。我觉得她很美咧！

这小家伙，那么小就开始看美女了。不知道是祸是福。。。

子乐 ~ 瞬间长大的天使

回看妈咪过去一年记录子乐的童言童语，再看看眼前这一位快五岁的子乐，短短的一年里他长大了许多。。。

子乐在过去的一年经历了很多“第一次”：

第一次上学、

第一次接触中华经典、

第一次参加小状元口试、

第一次上台表演、

第一次当上哥哥。。。

他变得独立的同时也变得对妈咪更依赖，可能是因为妹妹的存在让他缺乏安全感吧！在外学校很独立，回到家就很依赖。虽然长大了，稚气也慢慢少了，但是依然是对妈咪非常贴心的小王子。他常常会问：“妈咪，你不开心吗？” 然后都会不假思索的抱紧妈咪。。。

子乐就像瞬间长大的天使，快速得让人惊讶和舍不得。但是对妈咪的那一份爱是从来都不会变的。

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！

妈咪一边是nen nen，一边是白开水

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。。。
