Shermaine and her little stunt

Twenty-seventh January, two-o-ten. Shermaine at four months and three weeks old.

The other hundred things he said..

You know when you cannot keep a good update of your kids development in your blog, it's either you are way too busy or you feel that your kids are growing way too fast, you don't know where to start jotting. For me, it's all of the above.

Shern, he's back to school for two weeks now and adjusting well to the school day routine. Wake up, go to school, come home, have lunch, take nap, play, dinner and bedtime. When I asked him if his new class teacher loves him, he told me that he's the teacher's favorite! Nah, so soon?

He must be bragging again, as always. Anyone who knows him well enough knows that he speaks very well for his age, most of the time, he sound like a little too smart.

The other day, when we were out for dinner, he asked if I could get him ice-cream. I told him that he will only get ice-cream after dinner. He then went to his aunt, my eldest sister, and asked if he could have ice-cream. My sister asked him, "what did mommy said just now? No ice-cream until after dinner right?" He thought for a while and said, "Actually you are bigger than my mommy, so my mommy must listen to you!" Meaning it's OK for her to buy him ice-cream. Ish!

I asked him to finish up his homework after dinner,

Shern: I'm too tired. I want to go to sleep. Mom: I don't care, you're not going anywhere until you finish your homework. Shern: That's not the rule OK. If tired, means must go to bed because no 'power' to do homework already. Mom: Mommy's rule is if you don't want to finish your homework, you get smack!" Shern: OK la.

Marcus singing Lucky by Jason Mraz.

Marcus: Lucky I'm in love with my best friend.

Shern: Wrong! Lucky I'm in love with my girlfriend-la.

Mommy singing Lucky.

Shern: Mommy, you must sing, "Lucky I'm in love with my boyfriend, not best friend".

Bedtime, Shermaine was cuddling Shern's geegee when suddenly Shern snatches it away from her. Looking pissed, he said, "mommy, mei mei vomit on my geegee. Now my gee gee is wet!" I told him it's OK because mei mei is a little baby, she doesn't know a thing yet, not even her own vomit. With the angry look on his face, he said to Shermaine, "kor kor let you hug the geegee, why you vomit on the geegee".

I asked him if he loves his gee gee more than he loves his own sister, he said NO. "Then why are you so angry?", I asked again. "How am I going to sleep now, my gee gee is wet". Maybe because he couldn't fight back with his baby sister like he does with Marcus, he said to me, "Mei mei so naughty, how to love her, you tell me..". I answered, "There were times when you were very naughty yourself but mommy and daddy still love you the same, do the same to your sister, understand?" Shern said OK.

Where did he learnt all that from?? I have NO idea!

Another year, another CNY!

Can't believe another year just zoom by just like that. Somewhere this time last year, we found out that we're expecting a baby. We were overjoyed and we still are, of course. I was 7 weeks pregnant and now Shermaine is already 4.5 months old.

Now, back to my point, Chinese New Year is only a few weeks away. It was like yesterday we celebrated 2009 Chinese New Year, with the fireworks, endless flow of good food and all. It is no doubt the most anticipated celebration for me and my family, and it's also when we all gather back home at granny's, all 70+ of us for the biggest reunion of the year. It doesn't matter if we only get to sleep on very thin mattress or blanket as thin as tissue paper, or sleep in that wooden house that might be say 50 years old or more, or we got to queue up to take a shower, as there are way too many people around, we always look forward to going home to granny's.

While other people might choose to fly off for a family vacation during the Chinese New Year, at 6 stars hotel with first class dining and beach front hotel, hot tubs and hammocks, swim-up rooms with ocean view with service of a private butler, my entire family would rather riding bike around the village, and not to mention my uncles, they have an impressive collection of old rides we can drive around town. This is one event not to be missed. One thing for sure, we love Chinese New Year. Can't wait.

His first day @ 5years old class

Shern's first day back to his kindy didn't went well. I expected it SMOOTH but it wasn't. Before the school reopens, he kept telling me that he wants to go back to school "like NOW!" because he missed his friends. But on Monday morning, he cling on me like a koala. I mean cling on to my leg. Boy, why suddenly so shy!

But when he saw Ana, his girlfriend, he immediately brightens up. I grabbed a chair and seated him next to Ana, and then just like that, he sees me walked out the classroom and go home. A girlfriend at 4yo? You must be kidding me, son.

Back home, he told me that he wants another baby. A baby girl. Then he will name her Isa, after his girlfriend's twin sister! ::slap forehead::

Anyway, here's some photos of his last day at school last term with his girlfriends. I'm so behind my blogging, this should be posted way back in Nov 2009. It was also on that day, he celebrated his 4th birthday with his 3 other December-born friends. While they should be in their concert costume for the party, those birthday girls bend the rule and wore their princess dress instead.

The 4 months old chubby chick

I've been wanting to upload some photos of Noel and Linda's wedding but boy, 3000+ photos to choose from and so much more editing to do. That is going to take forever. Meanwhile, here's some photos of little Maine.

On Demand

This is a Sponsored Post written by me on behalf of Charter. All opinions are 100% mine.

Tada... here I am.

Like every other morning, the first thing I did this morning when I got up from bed is to check if my Internet connection is UP or DOWN. For the past 20days or so, it was DOWN. So happy to wake up to a stable connection. Someone from the service provider even called yesterday asking if I have access to the Internet, how kind of them. You know why? It only took my sister one call to told them off (I called so many times but no one bothered), and finally they took our complaint seriously These people!

So with me not blogging, I've been spending a lot of time watching movie and drama series. Do you actually know that you can have free access to On Demand Charter digital to access over 6,000 movies and shows! I've been up every night till wee hours to catch up on Desperate Housewives. Now, I sound so much like a desperate and bored housewives, no? Totally! If you need, you can get get updates and fun extras on Charter’s Facebook page, so easy isn't it.

The boys need not wait for their favorite cartoon to be aired on television. It's a good thing you know, especially if I need some quiet time, I can keep them occupied with Ben 10 Alien force on television. ::evil laughs:: Be sure to check out Demand Charter or learn more at charter.net/ondemand. I've so much of catching up to do with my blog and even more blog hopping to do. Pffftt...

I'm so fed up with Streamyx!

Can't believe it the Internet was down for almost 20 days. Isn't it ridiculous? I lost count how many times I called TM Net and was only given the same old excuse. Outage in my area and so apparently 9000 users were affected. Like I care to know who elses besides me! Anyone experienced the same problem as me? If you're living in Subang and Puchong area, that is.

Noel and Linda's wedding

First, let me share with you a very beautiful video clip of Noel and Linda's wedding. Love it. Enjoy!

I'm back!

..and I've really got some blog catching up to do.

First, Shern's 4th Birthday then Noel and Linda's wedding and of course update on little Shermaine. Now that the Internet line has been fixed, hopefully I'll be able to come up with some interesting blog post.
