I feel like telling you all a story today. It is a true story and it happens, well..hmmm..let me recall back..3 months ago?(err dear if you happen to read this, please correct me if I get it wrong ok.)

One evening, on a weekend, we just finished our dinner. During this incident happened, the computer that my son Josh normally use still in our room. So as usual, when he gets bored, he will go upstairs by himself and play with it. It was a normal routine for him and for us too.

Then that particular evening Josh decided to play early that day. He went up alone (hubby was with the twins and I was cleaning in the kitchen) when I suddenly heard Josh crying loudly. I called up to hubby to find out what happen (when Josh cry, it is normally because the computer can’t start or the game he wanted can’t be downloaded). So, hubby when upstairs to investigate.

Am I too sensitive and emotional because I can easily cry? I cry when I watch movies, especially if it is a sad one but then again, I also cry when it is a romantic movie I can cry by looking at my children playing happily with their papa. I can cry when my best friends in trouble. I can cry when I saw someone rude to their parents or anyone. Like I say, I cry easily….but of course I cry quietly and far from being seen, oh well, only by hubby-some times!.

Then, a minute ago, I cry again when my nephew call me. “Aunty, please come to our house tonight yea..I wanted to celebrate daddy’s birthday…we wanted to give him surprise party.” and I feel so touch. I’m glad and happy that my brother’s children love him…again, tears drop from my eyes. Tears of happiness!

So, what’s wrong with me? Am I a cry mommy?or am I just too sensitive and emotional?Does this happen to anyone too?I love to know so that I know I am not ALONE

Losing someone close to us is not easy to handle especially when we know that we are not going to talk, to laugh, to joke, do things together and so on with that person. It hurts so much that we might not be able to control our sadness and what you really need during this painful period is comfort, love and courage in order to carry on.

What more the person you lose is your parents, your partner, your child, your siblings, your relatives or your good friend. The pain is really unbearable. I’ve been through that period and it is not easy to heal the feeling, the emptiness and great lost. But, with supports, love and courage given by others will make us strong to go on.

And that’s why, I can feel the sadness felt by chegu carol on the demise of her good friend. May God bless the soul of her friend and as for the family, be strong and condolence to them

I think it is a nightmare for every parents whenever their children down with flu. Not only the child can’t sleep tight at night, it affects us too. And it really frustrating seeing them struggling for breath when their nose block. Sometimes, we do not know what to do except cuddling them closer and rubs some Eucalyptus oil on them hoping it make them feel comfortable and better.

Then this morning, as I was chatting with a colleague, one book laying on her table attracted my attention – “Petua Dan Perubatan Traditional Melayu“. I picked it up and browse through. The contents are quite interesting and I can’t help from reading it up to the end. And according to the writer, which was written by Muhammad Sani Harun, we can use turmeric (kunyit) on baby to prevent the flu getting worst.

And know what? I totally forgotten about this until I read this book. My aunt used to do this to my children whenever they down with flu..and yes, true enough, their flu didn’t get worst. Terrible or not you say me? Such an important information also forgets

*sigh* my mood spoil…really spoil…I really feel unhappy after I heard the early news in the radio this morning. “Ferrari might consider hiring ALONSO as their driver in 2009….” and the rest I didn’t bother to hear anymore.

I asked hubby again and again “dear, did I hear it correctly? Ferrari wants to consider ALONSO?”

“Yes..but not comfirm yet..but you know what dear, Ferrari needs someone like ALONSO. He’s a good driver.”

“Oh man! Don’t Ferrari learn something from McLaren? They not scared kah? Aiyoo..if really this going to happen, I think I’m going to retire from watching F1 lah.”

And as soon as I reached office, I went to my best friend and tell her about the news. We both very unhappy but I know someone in the office happy about the news.  If  Ferrari really going to hire him, then I have a GOOD excuse to go to the F1 Singapore this September. I do not want to cheer to Ferrari with ALONSO as the driver…no way man!

Lately, I noticed my son Josh loves to sing this song and will sing this song without fail EVERYDAY! And do you know what song he sing? This song….

Happy Birthday to you!

Happy Birthday to you!

Happy Birthday to you!

Happy Birthday to you!

After he gets bored of singing this by himself, he will ask me or his papa to sing. When we asked him why he likes to sing this particular song, only a simple answer from him “don’t know.” What kind of answer is that right? And we never ask him anymore why he likes this song so much.

Then last night, he did this…

he took his collection of balloons (or is it belong to his papa? don’t know whose anymore *blurr blurr*) and put it in a row while singing his favourite song. I can’t help myself from asking him what is he doing and guess what he answered me?

“My Josh birthday..want to play balloon!” and I went “Ohhhhhhhhhh!”

HELP!! Someone please help me. I’ve done everything, well almost everything to get rid of my bulky tummy but nothing seems working.

I do sits ups, avoid taking rice at night, no fatty foods (ice cream, chocolate, deep fried food, anything that I think will add more fats to my stubborn tummy) but still, the bulky tummy still smiling and getting comfortable. *sigh* I don’t know what to do anymore.

Every time I complained about my tummy to hubby, he will says this “dear, your tummy not that bulky..err well got tummy lah not like last time but hey, you already got 3 kids bah, of course body also change a bit!”

Change a bit?! It is a big change to me! How about you mommies out there? How do you tackle this problem? Is using corset the only solution? I love to hear your suggestion coz I really hates my tummy now

Hubby: Dear, you sure you do not want any more children?

Mommy: Hah? Don’t tell me you still want?

Hubby: You don’t want girl? Girl can help you around the house.

Mommy: Of course I want but I think 3 is enough lah dear..if we try next time and boy again, how? Enough lah ok?

Hubby:Ok…but having a girl around sure fun dear.

Mommy: I know but I don’t think I can cope anymore dear.

This conversation happened few days back and this is not the only conversation I ever had with hubby regarding the matter but when I was pregnant with my twins previously, he has assured me that will be the last pregnancy for me and we both agree on it.

But being pregnant is not the issue here. I just wanna make a point here that NOT having a girl is not that bad. I’m happy with my three lovely boys. It doesn’t mean that boy will not know how to do house chores as they can be trained and I believe training them in their early age is better than later.
