Happy, Happy, Happy

Think Happy Thoughts. That's my mantra lately. Though, there's still unwelcomed ones. I smile more often now. Really.

So, how did I fare with "To Dos" so far. Errrmmm... Squirm here now...

1. Spend more time with the girls. Read and play with them when I can. And, not to get angry but to talk to them first when they're being makulit. Be a better mother and model to them. Well, well, good thing this is number one. I think I get an 8 here. Though I still have to work on it some more especially "the not to get angry part" --- I think I'll get there in due time.

2. Be a loving wife. I haven't really asked Pre if he has seen any changes yet hahaha But I try not to get him riled often now.

3. Lose A LOT of weight. My actual resolution is not to eat any chips this year. Some days I get this bad "manas" and I feel it's because I am storing lots of fluids in my body because of eating too much salty foods. Hmmm so who said New Year Resolutions are keepers? I fail here --- big time. I still can't resist my chipsssssss wahhhh (Note to Tita Avs --- the Piknik is still unopened but I took some of the mini Pringles hahaha) I haven't started any exercise regime though I have cut down on rice during dinner time. Result, I am still overweight! Pre noticed it (from afar, mind you, how big I am now --- I was even wearing black then) and that was a bummer.

4. Enough Whining. Enough said, right? Ohhhhhhhh have you read my other posts lately? Hahaha. Really, really want to stop whining about work but my boss ooooppps sorry, I am starting again. Hehe.

5. Save. Oh. I have started a bit. I even convinced Ate A to open MySavings account with POSB. This savings account has a higher interest than the normal. But, the downside is I still check MWL's blog every Thursday haha.

Just a little Bebi A'ism. Every word that comes from her mouth now has a "y" at the end --- Fishy. Milky. Also, when we ask her to shake her bootie, she does it with gusto! She looks so funny! Reminds me of Dawter T when she was at that age.

About Dawter T. It's her last year in Pre-School and I've been busy surfing nearby Primary school websites. Really want her to go to a good school, at the same time, I don't want her to be so competitive in her studies. Some of my local colleagues mentioned to me that it happens especially if you enroll your kids to the "good" schools. Dilemna. Dilemna. Praying really hard here. I want her to enjoy school rather than it becoming a burden to her young life.

Speaking of trying to encourage her to enjoy school. Her daddy told her that she will give her a dollar everytime she gets a star. After 3 weeks, she has now a total of 9SGD which goes to her Nintendo DS fund hahaha. That's what she wants. But, I hope to convince her to just save it. Haha. I don't want her to ruin her eyes this early. Also told her last night that I will give her a dollar everytime she ace her spelling quiz!

Whew. January is almost over. Looking forward to next week's holiday (Chinese New Year) when we only need to come to work for 2.5 days. Gong Xie Gong Xie!

Nyamy Nyamy

Our Bebe A is at the stage of being cheeky and endearing.  She can speak so many words now, some clear, some not.  Hehehe.  She likes to sing as well.  She actually has a good tone.  One of the songs that she likes is the one from Wiggles --- Fruit Salad.  Her version though is : Mom : Fruit Salad Bebe A :  Nyamy Nyamy (Yummy Yummy)

Math Matters

Dawter T called me up and excitedly told me that she's the highest in Math for term 1. So, I thought it was for their exam in Ordinal numbers. "Mommy, Mrs. T said, I am the highest in my tests and in my worksheets. I am 100 %!" Ok, ok, it's our first year in Primary so I am still a bit confused with the grading system. Then, she said, my English is good, but it's not like Math! That got me more confused! But still, I owe her a trip to Night Safari! Hehehe. *** I got home and found Dawter T's assessment folder. And lo and behold, it's true! I am very proud of my chicka! Hehehe (And Pre was even more than proud, for him, only Math matters hahaha)

Sunday Afternoon

We've had an adventure this afternoon. We ate at Pizza Hut and was very disappointed that they forgot to bring out our pizza. It should have come sooner but they made a mistake of bringing out thin crust instead of pizza hut. Pre had to ask the crew about it and only then did they informed us that the pizza was still 5 minutes away, and they were giving us some fried chicken for our wait. I mean, hello? We've waited a long time and it was not our fault and you only thought of the chicken after my husband marched in to your area to ask! We're not difficult customers. We're just hungry hehehe... Bad thing turned to good. The manager was Filipina and after Pre told her about our case, she said that Pizza Hut decided that we don't need to pay for what they have served. Fair enough. But, I don't think I will be coming back anytime soon. So sad. To cap our day, took some photos of the girls. Ate too conscious of her teeth. Bebi A, loving her yellow balloon.
