Some Updates

Time flies and I didn't realise that I missed writing on this blog for more than 2 weeks. So many things seems to happen and I can't really remember the details after few days. Lets have an update.

14th May marks the 14th year Felin and I started dating. I still think this is the best thing that happened to me when she said "Yes" to be my girlfriend. She is a very intelligent lady who managed to make me feel intelligent myself though I'm sure she smarter than me. In my younger days, I would never dare to think that I'll have a pretty girlfriend who are not without suitors. She chose me 14 years ago and I still remembered the joy today. We had lunch at the Stadium and went for a massage at Marine Parade that day...

We took a selfie with the Kallang River as backdrop and the Tanjung Rhu area. Both of us were thinking if we can ever afford a house there. We love the environment. May this be our dream home.

On the 16th May, Felin went for a business trip over 5 days and I came home earlier everyday over the week and slept with Joshua during this period. Joshua usually wakes up in the middle of the night and luckily he did not cry when he couldn't find mummy. Daddy is okay too. lol... I survived that 5 days. Phew...

Firefly finally sent the photos to me for the shoot at MacRitchie Reservoir last month and i'm quite satisfied with the quality of the pictures considered that I only paid $99 for the outdoor package. They took about 200+ photos for us with 50 edit ones sent to us.

Joshua's speech is getting better. He can say Mama, YeYe, Amen, Bao Bei, etc... He can imitate quite a few of our speech already. Josiah is a bid behind but we know that he is learning quietly behind us.

My Glenn Doman cards aren't working on them. I couldn't grab their attention well and they always run away whenever I flashed the cards. I was thinking how heartache I will be if I am to send them for the Shichida class and they just don't want to focus at all. Each class cost $200 for both of them and a term of 10 weeks will cost $2,000.

The intensity of toy fighting gets heavier nowadays with both their weapon which are their teeth. They really bite and it is quite painful if we got bitten by them. They like to throw their toys and run round the house the whole day long. They shout for attention and cry loud when they can't get what they want. I really need to instill some discipline in the family soon. Can't be the good man all day long now...

Happy Mother's Day

Its Felin's 2nd Mother's Day Celebration. It will be another 2-3 years before the boys celebrate with her with the knowledge that its Mother's Day. Its always a good reminder how hard our mothers had painstakingly nurtured us over all these years.

We went back Malaysia over the weekend without the Sarong rack this time and certainly reduced a lot of things to carry in the vehicle. The boys had officially quit the Sarong and I'm happy about it. My Living room is now back to the spacious mode. Its somehow still challenging to pacify them to sleep in the same room as they kept running around when they are together, making naps difficult.

The boys are now fighting more and I think I have lots of teaching to do in years ahead. They normally refuse to share toys and will try to snatch from each other. Eg, they were both playing Lego sets today and Joshua try to snatch from Josiah even though the legos were everywhere. Josiah became irritated and took one lego and hit Joshua's head. Joshua was unhappy and retaliated and took another lego to hit back Josiah after a while after I scolded Josiah. When I was trying to push back Joshua, Josiah lurch forward to bite Joshua. I was so shocked.

Anyway, we had a good time with our families. We visited a flower fair and had plenty of good food in Malaysia. We then came back home to have a little celebration with Mum at Sister's place. The boys were really tired and had a good nice sleep.

 

HOT

Ann was feeding Joshua porridge yesterday and Joshua started to make loud noises. Ann asked "What Happened?" and Joshua replied "HOT"!.

Josiah passed his new water bottle to Joshua and asked him to open. Joshua pushed back the water bottle and shake his head and replied "Eh Eh"... He knows that he also don't know how to open.

Both boys are starting to sleep without the Sarong during afternoon nap. We had kept one of the Sarong and the other one remains. They are starting to eat more of our food but getting more active as well.

They are giving us surprises almost every few days.

We celebrated Dad's actual day birthday on 28th April by singing birthday song, with birthday cake and a birthday gift. I really hope he enjoyed himself and is happy.

As for today 30th April, we went for an outdoor photoshoot at MacRitchie Reservoir. Will update some of the pictures when its ready. We were really fortunate that the rain stopped just before we start the photoshoot. It was pretty humid and tiring. Joshua cried during the last part of the photoshoot because he was either afraid of the monkeys or afraid of the noise made by the remote quadcopters. Think the result of the photoshoot will be somehow so so.
