My little EMO girl

It's e first time u r celebrating teachers' day...as usual, yrs truly wld find some most efficient way to show my appreciation n to make u 2 show yr appreciation to the heroines teachg u daily. i decided to make sponge hearts - done in these few steps (5 mins, excluding waitg for e printer to start up) - cut, cut, print, cut, paste:) cook right?:) U brought e hearts to e sch n gave them out, u returned fr sch n told Auntie Nin, "I gave Tr Wati the heart n she gave me a kiss, my face red red." omg:) The following nite, i downloaded "Little Match Girl" n read it 2 u, when i reached e part sayg tt she had no food n milk, so sad.. u actually made sobbing sounds n I will never forget tt frown on yr face.. omg:) When I reached the part when I said t e little girl was hungry n sick n she went 2 heaven to be with her fairy godmother, u burst out crying when the book (inetractive touchy bk) showed e girl dissappeared... I explained tt she would hv food again, u asked,"What abt milk?" "Of course." n finally, the frown dissappeared.. omg:( shld hv scanned e bk first) But in any case, now it s the time for us, for all of us to put lots of deposits into the family emo bank, we ll hv to withdraw fr it when e going gets tough... e life in this society these days is filled with distractions, there may be more pits for us to fall into but no matter what, even as we fall, we ll get out of it together. Sometimes, i really feel u r growing so fast, i am not able to catch up really... i never imagine speaking 2 a 2.5yrs old cld be as enlightening n enjoyable as this.

Stress

Hi Jerome, Mummy was so caught up with work that I hv no time to check yr wk, u hv independently completed as much as u cld n am not getting complain fr anyone, till tt long weekend.. I asked u several times if u hv completed yr wk, u said u did but to my horror, an hour before bedtime (sch's start the next day) I found pages of work undone! Of course, I scolded u, tis is 2nd time I found out tt yr work is not done, am sure there r occassions when u hv forgotten but managed to get off it without e tr havg to call... That's not e point anyway.. U managed to get all the necessary done n went to bed as usual. BUT tt nite, u woke up in e middle of e nite n said, "Mummy, hv u checked my book.." My heart broke, poor thing, i must hv been too harsh, daddy says, perhaps we shld teach u responsibilities in smaller chunks, perhaps... i will try, i will remember .. Hang In There, my son, life s full of desserts, no matter how much we r eating, it will turn out sweet n it will turn out all right. Everything happens for a reason, all the times, for good reasons:)

7 July 2011

Today is a bad day:( one of the worst in my life. I heard 2 really really bad news within a span of 10 mins. Everything happened for a reason.. I was not supposed to be in the office today but I went back... Just as I was abt to leave, I met a lady whom I had respected. She is a confident woman and she is always smiling. Today, I saw tears in her eyes, she shared a piece of devastating news, I was speechless... As when she got ready to go off, another devastating new greeted me, I was .............. Dear Carrie and Jerome, You are really 2 very important people in my life. Jerome, you are now 7 and had started school, you are now exploring and widening your social circle. You are learning by the mins, by the seconds, I love talking to you and listening to you each night before bedtime. You have grown to be a very thoughtful boy, but very sensitive too. There are times when you faced frustrations and stress, you are learning to manage them now. We'll be by your side, ok:) Just like how you resolved the problem when one of your classmates disturbed you many times, now you are good friends. How your feelings towards the friend changed from resentment, anger to being tolerant, to being forgiving and finally acceptance. This is an impt lesson, all these tough times you faced and will be facing will only make you a better person as long as you are willing to face it with your heart:) Remember, we are by yr side, all the times! You have been a wonderful brother, most of the times:) Carrie, you love your brother as much:) You imitate everything he does, remember - "Carrie, are you a copycat?" "No, I am a Teddy bear!" when Gor Gor talks about his sch each night, "Mummy, I also want to talk abt my sch!" you really melt our hearts, you are very stubborn at times, you are learning how to deal with accepting "NO" as an answer. Take your time dear, it's ok. We'll be by yr side:) Each time when we knock into something or say ouch, u wil say ,"r u ok?" Each time the phone rings, if it's Nai Nai, you wld ask in yr fluent CL,"Chi bao le Mei you." If it's Po Po, "Ni zai na li?" so funny... You have a pretty heart, keep it up:) Let's pray hard for the 2 kids ...
