Horrifying bus experience

So angry with a bus company yesterday coz my pants kena ripped off and was so embarrassed by that incident. Wrote in to complain this morning so hope they can give me a satisfaction answer. To think that the bus companies kept wanting to increase the fares where the buses are not properly maintain plus the schedule is sometimes so haywire. Imagine sometimes you got to squeeze inside a crowded bus and just when the bus moves..the next empty bus comes along and its definitely very frustrating to see such a sight. Also, I hate it when those bus captain brakes very hard at times..I noe its inevitable at times to avoid accident. But I believe if you drive carefully and exercise more care, caution and consideration..it can be prevented or at least minimize it, coz we dear passengers esp. standing ones sometimes have to hold on to our dear lives to prevent falling. Looks like there’s still so much to improve on our bus service standard and the bus companies should really look into this and for a while stop thinking when and how they can increase the bus fares!!

Another pleasant surprise

Yeah..finally DS can response to the song Twinkle Twinkle Little Star by opening and closing his small little hand. Been trying to teach him for so long that I nearly gave up coz whenever I sang this song..he will wave and juz smile..Errmmm Duno why? But to my surprise, I finally see him trying to open and close his hand when he was drinking his milk yesterday night. After that, when I sang to him and showed him the actions..He followed also..FINALLY!! Now trying to teach him clap clap hands..Hope he can surprise me with this action soon.

Thank you Jen

Yesterday night, DH and I went to Jen place to collect the book from her. Actually, I wanted to go earlier but juz as we were about to walked over to the food court, we saw Ann Kok and Jessica Liu filming at my hse downstair playground. So we decided to KPO a bit and juz stand nearby to watch them filming and just a few script of lines took so long to complete and have to redo over and over again. Watched for a while before we decided to go get dinner plus buy diapers at the supermarket nearby. So sad..I think my fav ban mian stall has ceased operations coz seems like its been a while the store never opened liao. DH suggested that we take a bus to Rivervale Plaza food court as there are more varieties there. But I’ve decided not too coz I don’t want to go Jen house too late as I know my dear Ah Zheng sleep very early and I want to go over to play with him. Anyway, both of us had noodles, which was not nice at all. We have decided to take the free shuttle bus to Jen hse since it was along the way. But waited for half an hour and that stupid bus didn’t even appear. Told DH that we will just slowly walked over coz might be even faster than that bus. Reached Jen house already 9plus and DH decided not to go up. So off I went with the intention of playing with AH Zheng but atlas Ah Zheng already in his dreamland liao. Jen passed me the books (which came in nice nice bag) and also biscuits..Then the ever so kind of her..always give me this blur blur mummy advise and also she lend me the warmer. Though, I still duno will I use the warmer but somehow my heart was already warmed by her helpfulness and thoughtfulness..Anyway, could have stayed longer if not interrupted by DH, who by then have been bitten by duno how many mosquitoes downstair. Hahaha =p Once again..a big thank you to Jen.

Lousy Sunday Night.

Yesterday, was supposed to go back MIL place for dinner but at 4pm..it was still raining and told DH that we shld juz stayed at home. So quickly…I went to cook the porridge again coz yesterday porridge took about 4 hrs to be ready ..OMG!! So using the same procedure, I proceed to cook the same thing (sorry son, mummy only know how to cook this type of porridge..must ask Erin aunty to teach me more variety). But this time was a failure coz the potatoes after 3 hrs plus is still not soft and me being impatient (coz its already 8pm liao), I’ve decide to use the pot to cook. Ended up, porridge was slightly burnt, potatoes still not soft and DH was nagging at me.. I mean I was very angry and disappointed at myself already and what DH said juz added to my frustration.. Decided not to give DS the porridge coz felt that we have done to much stirring and moreover it was juz too late..Was worried that after eating DS might get “wind “ n his tummy. So no choice, let DS have his cereal instead and thank goodness..he didn’t make a big fuss out of it..Maybe, he knew that mummy is already feeling lousy or maybe, after so long never eat his cereal, he thinks this is something new. After dinner..gave him his bath and put him to sleep..But he slept for only half hour and woke up to play. Kept him entertained for about another hour before giving him his last feed at 10.30pm and finally..lights off for both DS and a very tired mummy..

My first attempt to cook porridge was a success!!

Last sat evening..tried to cook porridge for DS using the slow cooker. I followed the procedure that Erin and my MIL taught me. First, I boil the ikan billis water so that can use as my porridge base. Next, I put in the scallop together with the potatoes and carrot. But I cut the potatoes and carrot into too big pieces liao..got to take out again to cut into smaller pieces. Waited till 6.30pm to steam the broccoli and after it was done..mesh it up to put inside the slow cooker. Volia..my job was done and waited for DS to wake up from his evening nap. DH fed him and he seems to like it a lot. I’m really happy to see him enjoying his dinner coz this is my first time cooking. Even though, it is juz porridge but the truth is..I never ever done much cooking in my life. Before marriage, I have the luxury of being pampered by my family. After marriage, my MIL took great care of me. So haven’t got any chances for me to learn cooking (Excuses!!) Therefore, even if it is juz to cook porridge..I felt a sense of small achievement. Hmmm..but think for the sake of my DS..I will have to buck up a bit and starts to learn a few dishes ba..Hopefully, in future gathering..I can cook for my family to eat..=p (But hor..got to wait for at least a few more years).

Happy 9mth to Jayden

Wow..time really flies!! Today, Jayden is now 9mth old. Yesterday was just looking through his photos and was amazed by the changes from month to month. Frankly speaking..I still prefer his newborn look..coz that time he still pui pui ma..Now really can see that ‘slim’ down a lot..Ba Ba cheeks all gone…so are the fats ard his thighs. Then newborn only eat and sleep the whole day long..Now it’s a different story liao..Got to watch the active boy like a hawk coz now to him everything is very fascinating including the switches, fan etc..OMG!! Sometimes, just too tired to look after him the whole day long and this is only the beginning of the challenge only. I wish I can have the energy to keep up with him in near future.. Hahaha. Anyway, let me recall what can Jayden do now..

1)Says papa, mama, mum-mum..though most of the times babbling to himself.
2)Wave bye bye when told him to. Again..subjected to his mood at that time.
3)Pull himself to standing position and can stand for at least 5mins
4)Crawl with his knee not touching the floor.
5)Can shift from crawling position to sitting position
6)Loves to watch TV show intensively. (Think he is a super TV addict)
7)Chew his food and loves all food.
8)Look for the toys that went out of sight
9)Throw his tantrum when not happy.
10)Can imitate people coughing..
11)Can do tsk & tuck sound using his tongue

Now he is so much more fun to play with but this also means more tiring for me. But seeing how he grows up happily (esp. when he smile at me) and healthily day by day is the most rewarding part for me. Yipee..3 more mths till Jayden 1st Birthday!

Hmmm..I can read??
