Circuit Breaker no. 2?

Govt don't define it as Circuit Breaker this time round and called it Phase 2 Heightened measures but its quite close to me. Covid 19 community cases came back fast and furious. We had postponed our 20th May Cruise trip to August and hope it will be better by then. My Reservist is cancelled too.

The boys are now back at home and working from home is compulsory for me and Felin. The boys are harder handle compared to last year as they are now more active and refuse to nap during the day. In short, they have more ability to create havoc in the house. Its very distracting to work from home with them around as we need to occupy their time with proper stuffs to do.

Josiah is now 118cm and 21.1kg. Joshua is 107cm and 18.4kg. Not much change in height but they are getting heavier.


Today, I managed to convince the kids to donate to SATA CommHealth using their piggy bank money. I explained why its a fortune that we can give and how many people out there need help. Glad that they took the message well. Initially only willing to donate $10, they ended up giving me $16 each. Well done boys, I'm proud of you. I had top up the rest to make it $100.


I also walked them to the Tampines Eco Green recently to enjoy the sun and fresh air and expose them more to nature. They seems to like it too. Maybe they are motivated by the Pikmin game that I'd downloaded on the phone to walk as we need to gather food for them while we walk. Hopefully they will not be soft like strawberries in future. What I want them to learn is perseverance and not afraid of being tired or being hot.


Other things to highlight over the months.
* I really dislike Josiah's whining and easy to cry nature. He cries whenever he can't get what he wants. He often pushes responsibility to others by saying, you never tell me or teach me when he did something wrong. Sometimes when I look at him, I felt that I am looking at myself. When my sales is bad or when my recruiting of consultant are not working, I will say because nobody teach me how to do my recruitment or find new business. I only whine and don't find solution. I really hope he don't be like me, hence I need to work harder in this aspect myself. Don't give up...
* Josiah also have a small pimple like growth on his face which we need to do plastic surgery in September to remove it. Hope the growth will go off by itself.

* Joshua still not able to control his bowels at night and making things hard for us at night. He don't wear diaper prior to bed. I'm supposed to bring up toliet at 12mn and wear diaper for him. But I forgotten a few times and ended up a wet bed. Ended I am the one who get scolded by Felin because thats my responsibility.

* My helper had indicated to us that she will like to move and work in other household. She and Felin have some disagreement over her Diet issue. I have to agree that my helper simply ate too little everyday. Our constant call and request for her to eat more falls on deaf ears which really frustrate and worries us. I think the days of doing housework on our own is near. We got to brace for the hard times ahead soon. When I asked her what she ate for the day, I'm shocked to hear "3 Kiwi fruits and water" only. I can't agree that she ate so little

* Felin and I are equally busy with work and if a helper is not around anymore, it will be really tough and challenging times ahead. Just got to pray hard and brace ourselves ahead.

Okay till here and update this space again when time permits... Hopefully can find the time. Lol...
