Hi all! In case you are wondering why I’m stopping to blog here, the reason is I’m moving to a new blog to continue my blogging…….http://mamamiethots.blogspot.com

Sometimes I wonder whether it’s every parent’s nightmare or worries to start toilet training their children. Our little boy is 30 months old already, and it’s time to toilet train him slowly. Previously I have tried doing that for a couple of times with him but I gave up due to lack of patience. But after reading the email replied from the Nursery’s principal, she expected our boy to be toilet trained by the time the school term starts next year. Counting the days and months I have left, I started to feel panicky about it.

Mommy: YanShang! you are big boy now, don’t wear diaper okay?

YanShang: Okay! I want to wear shorts.

Mommy: Okay (happily took off the diaper and put on the shorts for him), you want to wee wee must tell mommy, then mommy bring you to the toilet and shh shh okay?

YanShang: Okay!

5 minutes later….

Mommy: Do you want to shh shh?

Yanshang: No!

Every 5 minutes, asking the same question to YanShang but the answer is still a “NO”! Suddenly a pool of urine appeared on the floor, Yanshang gave a stunned look and then looked at Mommy….

Mommy: Aiyoh! Why before wee wee don’t want to tell mommy? (quickly went to take a cloth to wipe off the mess on the floor) *faint*

In the end, mommy surrender and went to take a new diaper and put it on again! Sigh!

Well….I guess I have to give him more time and I need to have more patience with him if not he’ll never ever get to learn how to wee wee in the toilet.

Saw an interesting article on the internet on Toilet-Shaped House, this was built by the World Toilet Association in Korea. Imagine yourself living in a gigantic toilet..minus away the wee wee & poo poo…hehe!

Woohoo! finally the new Nokia N82 is mine, the phone which has GPS function (quite useful for me coz I’m quite bad in memorising those roads and I’m not very good in reading maps..haha!). After so many years of using different brands of mobile phones, still thumbs up for Nokia phones! I’m not trying to do free advertising for them, but Nokia phone’s functions is still quite user-friendly for me. So now, hello to Nokia N82 & bye bye to Nokia 6280.  

Past few weeks was quite hectic for me, both little darlings were sick for the past weeks. Firstly, it was kor kor who was down with running nose & slight cough (suspecting he caught the illness from the playgroup). Subsequently, mei mei also got the flu & cough plus fever somemore….*faint*!

Mei mei’s fever was up and down for a few days and got us worried, I was pratically in and out of the Kid’s Clinic for a few times with the children. Luckily, kor kor recovered quite fast but mei mei took a while becoz she was down with viral infection and had viral rash outbreak on her hands, sigh! It was quite tiring for me during that period as I had to go to work and had to bring them to the clinic to see PD after work. Now everything is back to normal…

Happened to see this interesting 3-sided toothbrush during shopping and was enticed by the innovative idea. As a curious consumer, I bought a few home to try out.  Apparently, I do not need to move my toothbrush in various direction, just place the toothbrush on our teeth and move in left & right direction..tat’s all! Isn’t it cool?

The 3-sided toothbrush is able to wrap around our teeth and brush without any hassle. We can also able to adjust the softness of the brush by soaking the toothbrush in warm water for a few minutes. But once it’s soften, you can’t revert it back to hard bristle again.

We all know that it’s quite dangerous to put lots of toys into the playpen with the child without any supervision. Therefore, I put only 1 or 2 toys in the playpen for ger ger to play just in case she’s bored. Guess what I saw? She put her leg thru the toy and fell asleep with it…

I came across this speed test website and was very curious to know how fast I could type on the keyboard. My result turned out to be 324 characters per minute = 61 words per minute. Obviously I’m not the best and there’s still room for improvement…:) Children can get free typing lesson online as well, cool!

In all my 30 years as a Malaysian, finally I had the chance to cast my vote for the election day. Although I only stayed in Malaysia till I was about 8 years old and was sent to Singapore for education then to Melbourne for 3 years of university education and finally came back to Singapore to work & to start a family! Basically more than half of my life I was away from the country, of course I did go back occasionally for holidays and visit relatives in various parts of Malaysia.

Although it was an exciting day for me, but the mass traffic jam at the custom was terrible. Partly was due to the escape of one of the Singapore’s wanted man and the school holidays also started on the same day. Most of the Singaporean were rushing into Malaysia for holidays. We were stucked at the Singapore custom for 2 hours but was glad that Malaysia custom traffic flow was quite smooth. By the time we reached Johor, we were famished and went to grab a bite at one of those higher class kopitiam. Although the environment was cleaner than the normal kopitiam, but the food was bleh!!! Then we were off to 2 different places to cast our votes. After voting was done, we went for a light snack & headed home to rest. Phew!

The convenience of having a webcam at home is that I can monitor my children whenever I’m free. I was at work today and happened to saw our little boy trying to climb up & down the sofa & he was reprimanded by Ah Ma..hehe!

FYI: Initially we installed the webcam was to spy on the maid’s action. Since we are maidless now, it’s actually a good tool for me to look at our children whenever I miss them during work.

Hubby got 5 free tickets to Air Show, we brought along our son & went there with my BIL, SIL & her husband. It was a blazing hot day, and the heat was unbearable. We were hanging around outside of the exhibit hall to look at all the gigantic planes & I got myself sun-burned…sigh!

Luckily, our son was not affected by the weather, he was busy enjoying roaming around in the exhibit hall (trying to get freebies & goodie bags from various booths) . After spending about 7 hours there, we decided to go home and rest. The crowd was crazy, I got a shocked when we were leaving the place at around 4pm. The queue for the shuttle bus/ coaches & taxis were extremely long…..*faint*! In the end, all of us decided to take the 7-seater limousine van to go back home…luckily it’s much faster.
