All About Your Child

Ling gave me this ‘romantic’ tag. *muack* Thank you girl!

1. In which month and year did you met your husband for the first time?
– In June 1997.

2. In which month and year did you two officially starting dating?
– February 1998.

3. Where was the first dating place the two of you went to?
– Singapore Changi Airport

4. What was the most touching thing he did to you when you two were still dating?
– He bought ‘glow-in-the-dark’ sticky-plastic-stars and moon, came to my house and stick it on my bedroom ceiling. I love to look at stars, so he wanted them to keep me company while I sleep.

5. How about after your marriage?
– He made a cup of ice-milo for me (without me knowing) and boy was I feeling thirsty that night, at that very moment. – I’m so easy to please eh? Hmmmm….

6. Share your lowest period of your life with him.
– When my mom decides to choose gambling instead of my sis and I. She left us, left the house and find her own shelter somewhere else.

7. Share your happiest moment with him.
– When I was pregnant.

8. Share your saddest moment with him.
– When my friend lost our wedding VCD. Even though we did ask my friend to pay for the replacement VCD, but it was almost a year before I knew she lost it and the worst part was -it was I who called her to return the VCD to me. If I hadn’t call her, I don’t know when will she tell me that its lost. And the worst part was, after one year, the original v-tape has gone mouldy and even we have re-burnt into the new VCD, the images were blurr and ‘jerky’….

9. Share your angriest moment with him.
– when the surprise present I wanted for Valentine’s Day turned out to be ‘NO PRESENTS AT ALL’. Go read that post if you are keen to find out what happened. *Urrrrggghhh*

10. Share your funniest moment with him.
– Hmmm… for this one, I think its the funniest, sweetest and most painful moment (what a mix feeling!). Almost 2years after we were married, I was deep in my sleep. Suddenly I was woken by a sharp pain. I woke up and saw Allan’s hand gripping so darn hard on my right lower arm. His short nails were almost piercing through my skin. I shook him and questioned, “What’s wrong?!” He was WOKE UP!!! He was asleep when he did that! Then he told me, “So scary! I dreamt that I was in the hospital looking all over for you. The doctors told me you were dead and they REFUSED to let me see you. I was so scared, so angry, so sad….” Then he hugged me and said, “Don’t ever leave me ok?”

11. Share your most frustrated moment with him.
– When we had to borrow $ from my friends and loved ones for survival. I hate borrowing $, ‘cos I don’t want to be anything near my mom. But I still did it. So I was struggling like hell, inside me.

12. Lastly, when was the last time you two hold hands and walk under the moonlight, like how you used to do?
– Last Saturday when we were at Labrador Park….but not exactly ‘like we used to’, the ‘holding period’ is way shorter than before we were married.

I would love to hear the ‘lovey-dovey’ stories of Sandra, Tina and Tammy

Keatkeat: “Mommy, what is a gum?”

Widening my mouth and showing my uneven rows of teeth, raised up my pretty index finger and pointed to the row of pink flesh holding those teeth up. “That’s gum.” I replied.

Keatkeat: “Mommy, then what’s bubble?”

Widened my eyes! “You KNOW what bubble IS!”

Keatkeat: “Oh so its that bubble I see when I bathe right?”

Me: “Yeeesss….” Wondering where are these questions leading to…

Keatkeat: “So bubble gum is BUBBLE ON THE GUMS, right?”

*Super laugh*

You see, Singapore Government banned selling of gums long before Keatkeat was born and we never brought him OUT of Singapore before. So he had no idea what Bubble gum is. He heard it from his classmate, who (I guess) probably went to Malaysia over the weekend and bought some back.

Me: “No dear, Bubble Gum is a kind of ‘sweet’. You can chew on it and when you chew long enough, you can create a big bubble by blowing into it….”

Keatkeat: *Eyes and Jaws opened up* “Wahhh…Can you show me?”

Me: “I don’t have Bubble Gum now..”

Keatkeat: “Then go buy it…”

Me: “Singapore doesn’t sell it, we have to go to other countries to get it.”

Keatkeat: “Then can you go now?”

Me: *laugh* “When I have the chance to go other countries, I’ll buy for you ok? But you CANNOT SWALLOW the Bubble Gum.”

Keatkeat: “Why cannot?”

Me: “Cos’ its NOT MEANT to be swallowed. Its sticky like PlayDoh, so if you swallowed it…hmmm…maybe it will stick to your stomach and not come out as poo poo…”

Keatkeat: “Huh?! Then I don’t want to eat Bubble Gum…”

In my heart I was thinking, when he really get to see the ‘bubble’ forming from the gum, I don’t think he’ll say that. *wink*
