All About Your Child

Extremely fun, undoubtedly noisy and indescribably tiring. Here’s what happened today at my small little house. Total guests = 20. Big and small, young and old, all squeezed into my humble home of 92sq metre space.

Balloons are MUST HAVE!

Outside the house….

In the house too….

Binbin’s favourite Lightening McQueen Decorations…..

This is how you entertain kids: Throw them into a room full of toys. Forget about the mess. The kids will do the rest; which is messing up even more! *laugh* Make sure your laptop is switched on too, in case someone like Keatkeat (top right) wants to surf the net.

When they are sick of the toys, play Monopoly! The hi-tech one, which uses credit cards instead of cash notes. This prevent ‘money’ from flying away! You know how kids are…their small hands can’t hold on to that stack for long. Or you may end up with soggy notes….Eeewww…

This was also the time when I could fulfill my nieces wishes – Check out MY Little Twin Stars Collection…

While kids play, adults were cooking away……There should be many more faces…if not this feast couldn’t be served, but they were camera-shy. So it just me and my favourite aunt, the one who took care of me since I was born.

2 Regular Canadian Pizzas – Hawaiian Classic and Singapura Special AND my mother-in-law’s specialty – CURRY (big pot) couldn’t squeeze into the photo. But they definitely were very popular throughout the night.

My eldest niece, Cheng Han, having her second round. – that’s what I love to see most. There were so much food!

Lightning McQueen Birthday Cake is here!

Hhooo….3 Candles!

My Happy Family….

My only sister and her boyfriend, Ted. The 2 Great Children-Sitters….

Auntie, Cousin Navy and her family….

Here’s all my nieces and nephews! I Love all of them so much!

Binbin enjoying his cake or rather the CREAM!

“come! check out my presents! 11 of them! No time to waste, oopen away!”

“Big-big Gorgor (Brother), help me please!”

“1.8meters long, 4-race tracks. – From Ah Yee and Bigbig Gorgor.”

“The drum for my Lion Dance – from my only brother”

“What’s this? So big?”

“My very first LEGO set- from Auntie Navy.”

“Another HOT WHEELS race track to add into my collection – from Auntie Corina”

“Including four new HOT WHEELS car – from Ah Yee (againg), Auntie Corina (again) and Cousin Cheng Han – I am one lucky guy!”

“My first laptop – from Cousin Zeng Yee and Mun Yee”

“Don’t move! Drop the gun! Fire…..”

“Nah, its actually a Transformer! Look! 2 of them – from Auntie Angeline and Uncle Derek”

“Top present giver goes to Auntie Corina! Gave me the HOT WHEELS DAREDEVIL CRASH, one new Car and this, Bob the Builder Handphone! Mommy got a new handphone, now I’ve got mine too!”

What’s my reward at the end of the day? An aching back, an injured ankle, a cut on my right hand, stinky hair and lots of cleaning to do…..Will I do this again? 100% YES! ‘Cos my biggest reward was : I made my child SMILE! Even though just before he sleep, he started to have fever….38.1 degrees celsius!

What a lousy ending…..sigh

My favourtie niece, Zeng Yee, celebrated her 7th birthday today. Love her dearly from the day she was born; maybe because we are both born in the year of the snake, maybe because I stayed with her for 1 year, since she arrived onto this earth, before Allan and I moved out; maybe because she visits my stall every week since the day we moved out- she is like my daughter. This love is mutual too, cos’ I am the 2nd person she loved most – that’s what she told me.

Knowing that she is crazy over princesses and after what I bought for her during Christmas, I don’t have much variety left. These are what I managed to find. Hope Disney comes out with more new stuff for princesses, if not I would be in trouble when Children’s Day come around in October.

==========================================================

Before Binbin’s very first birthday party arrive tomorrow, we needed to get these prepared:-

Goodies Bag

We have got small gadgets for play, biscuits to fill the tummy and lots of sweeties to decay the teeth.

Party Hats

QC passed.

Inspected and tried on by the ‘man’, himself.

Keatkeat’s present for his only brother

This was more like Binbin chose it himself and insisted that the elder brother buy for him.

Wrapper was chosen by Keatkeat and ‘wrapped’ by him too. (well, he did the taping part, mommy-me did the rest)

========================================================

Clean up

Before the fun begins tomorrow, there’s lots of cleaning up to be done. The birthday boy decides to help but he couldn’t even move stick the right way. Look at Keatkeat’s expression – laughing uncontrollably at Binbin till he needed to pee (look at his left hand)

So the brother did the rest of the work….

=======================================================

Unlucky day – 3 days ago

Allan finally got his very first pay 3 days ago, ever since he started being a property agent. So here’s his belated valetine’s day + last year’s birthday present for me.

That day was drama, I forgot to bring my wallet along and this phone gave problem during the demo. It couldn’t even switched on. So we had to wait for the battery to be charged.

While it was charging at the battery. Allan went for appointment. For the 2 hours without the man around, I was at Westmall shopping with the kids with no money on me whatsoever. So super handicapped. Hated the feeling.

Went to the arcade where Binbin fell down and a piece of his skin was scraped off from the ear. Rather rounded. So now he looks like he’s got a ear stud from far. The teens at the arcade were yelling, “Shut the hell up.” Another one was exaggerating the cries.

I was so pissed. I was ready for a fight or an argument. I was so heated up. But my priority was to calm the little one down first. So I held my tongue. I just glared at them.

As if I wasn’t bad luck enough, a phone that doesn’t work at first sight, no money, got mocked by teenagers, the boys told me they needed to poo AT THE SAME TIME! I had to hold on to 2 cubicle doors while they did their business. It was so drama. Then they finished at the SAME TIME. Both insisted that I clean them up first. But I decided to go for Binbin first ‘cos I know Keatkeat’s shitting habit.

Of all things, what really set me on fire were the teenagers. Why has teenagers these days become so irritating?!
