9.9.12 - It's 6:35pm and I am lying on the sofa at the front door waiting for TH and JW. They had gone to Zi Xuan house to collect homework. JW was absent from school today due to the trip. We went to Medan on Saturday and came back just today.. It was a short relaxing trip.There wasnt anything great to talk about. It was just a break away rather than a real holiday. We were all kind of lazy, stayed at the hotel room most of the time. The kids were glued to the ipad as usual.
Well, as our Grand Swiss Belhotel is adjacent to a small shopping mall, we never had to go far for our meals. We enjoyed interesting food there. At Nelayan Restaurant, the food were great. We had spicy meal for one dinner and a dim sum late lunch the next day. My boy loves the durian pancake very much The orange pudding was interesting and yummy too. So as most of the dim sum there. I also found my old time favourite there, a fried prawn ball coated with bread crumbs that I used to enjoy during my teens when dad took me and family to Chiew Yeong Restaurant of those days. It doesnt exist now. Yummy, it tasted exactly the same.
Next we came across a restaurant called Moviegoers & Cafe that has private theatre for family like us. We checked it out and enjoyed it too. JS chose the movie Skylight and it really tested the sound system. TH was so tired at that time and thought of dozing off in there but because of the sound system, he ended up finishing the whole movie and walked out pretty much awake, haha.
JS has pretty grown up and has abandon his interest in heading to the pool. But not my gal as yet, she's still excited over the pool but too bad, we didnt fulfil her wish due to lost interest. So we compensated her with a session of bubble bath in the room tub. Nah, dont think she enjoyed it with me but she just being kind not to complain,
We had two sumptous breakfast at the hotel and the rooms were comfortabel. We took half a day out exploring the Istana Maimoon, Masjid, Merdeka Walk and Sun Plaza. Nothing much to see but just to exercise our legs.
Back home, we were delighted that Lassie survived the two days ordeal without food at home. Though she made a mess, we didnt scold her but instead showered her with love. The kids helped out, fed her, picked up her poop, etc. It was so smelly and I decided to wash the floor to get rid of the smell. Then, I bathe Lassie too coz she smells. My kids did a video recording on the bath session. Now everything is clean and back in order. Lassie looks bigger and stronger now, good for her.
Now that we are home, its time to get serious. Back to work, as PMR is nearing, we must support our boy. He's do great, I am confident.

My Boy is a Joker
3.9.12 - My boy is so funny. All in the family had a good laugh just now because of him. After our dinner at mai man dim sum, we decided to head down to town for our favourite bubur cha cha at san peng road. So, in the car, TH asked JS to call and find out if they are open for business. Actually, JS called up before and made a blunder back then. That was when he called and asked for bubur cha cha as like he wanted to speak to bubur cha cha. We had a good laugh back then.
This time I did him a favour, told him exactly how to ask properly, like 'si tou, gam yat yau hoi mou' (bos, are u open for business today). Simple as abc. He was cool and calm. He bravely made the call and when the line got through, he opened his mouth to speak, all went haywire. He was off key and the cantonese sounded weird and not easy to understand, haiz. Apparently, the other end also cannot understand him, so he struggled a little to express himself. All of us in the car laughed like hell including my boy. Gee, he is so so funny and courageous too.

TH Good Try
30.9.12 - It is Mid Autumn Festival Day today and yesterday my family celebrated at the patio for the first time together with Lassie. We bought home KFC for dinner and had mooncake and tea. As usual, JW was excited as ever but JS was less enthusiastic as before, he has grown up. TH was not too keen and that was normal for him. At least he tried to blend in for our sake. It amused me to see his efforts flushed down the drain when he stood at the door and Lassie excitedly tried to lick his feet and then, he was reluctant to come out. I was upset for a second and scolded him for being too petty. But I forgave him coz I saw his effort and he did it for us, though half way only, hehehe.....
Our Lassie, A smart Dog
27.9.12 - Lassie is almost 6 months old and she already know how to take commands obediently. She knows how to sit, stay, lie down, shake hand, roll over and play dead. She's a smart dog and a good companion. However, she's a dog with personality too. She knows how to complain to us with her furious barks, hehehe. Especially when we feed her late. She's just adorable.
I am having fun learning through You Tube the method of training and it works pretty well. She is a fast learner and I have no problem teaching her all those tricks. Beagle likes food treats very much, so it is easy to teach too. My gal also managed to teach her how to roll over and she did it. Apart from Lassie learning the tricks, my gal learnt something too. She learnt patience and persistence. Lassie adds joy to my family. Even TH who once dislikes dog now begins to appreciate her. TH now starts to touch her, give her treats, looking out at her through the window and most importantly, he's enjoying it.
Lassie is definitely a pleasure.

JW first menses
26.9.12 - It's 7am now and I am in the car while TH walked JW to school. Today my gal has grown up physically, her menses came for the first time when she woke up. She came to my room, crying and hesitated to tell me why. I had to take a few guesses before bingo. She was in fear. I consoled her and explained to her patiently how to use the sanitary pad. I gave her additional pads to bring to school too in case she needs to change.
It's a little weird that I am feeling the symptom too. Anyway, I am relieved that she had no cramp or whatsoever. If I can endure the symptom for her, it's my pleasure. In fact, I am anxious for her. I worried if she is able to handle it at school. Will her menses gets heavy, will she knows how to change the pad, etc. I guess I have to have better confidence in her. She's a smart gal. She will have to learn the process of growing up on her own.
In fact, today is her exam day, haiz. As long as she is alright, nothing matters more. Will brief her further when she gets home this afternoon. Must let her know how menses comes about in our body. It is also important for her to understand what menstruation means. Not forgotten, must also tell her to jot it down on her calendars for reference.
Well, I read about menses before. It is a sign of growing up when a girl turns into a woman. Every month, the ovaries in a woman body will release a tiny egg. If this egg is fertilized by a sperm, it will attach to the wall of her uterus and develop into a baby. The uterus walls will automatically thicken with extra blood for the fertilized egg. But if the egg is not fertilized, it will not attach to the wall and the uterus will get rid of the extra blood from its wall. This blood and unfertilized egg will then come out of the vagina as menses.
Gee, now my gal will have to share my pads every month. She will be alright as long as she is aware of what to do. I used to have bad cramps during menses during my teens. Mom and I were ignorant of how to take care of our body but now I can educate my gal so that she will not be subjected to unnecessary cramps. Mom used to keep her mug of ice water in the fridge and I was happy to share with her most of the time, irrespective of menses or not. It definitely caused my cramps. But thanks God, after I got married, the cramps disappeared.
It's 11:45am now and my anxiety seeps in. I am thinking about my gal at school. Well, I picked up the phone and called Christy to find out about Vernie's first menses condition. It made me more worried when she told me the her 1st menses was heavy and she had to use the long pad. Hmm, hope my gal cope well.
It's 4:30pm now and my gal was back. She left for Cikgu Oi tuition. She is fine but the fact that she didnt go to toilet at all in school today bothers me. I know she's afraid of the mess but controlling her urine for too long and not drinking enough water is not healthy I wish she can help herself by drinking enough water, go to toilet maybe once or twice and face the mess rather than avoid it and have health problem in the future.
Well, for now her menses is not heavy but moderate. Taught her how to clean up and change pad just now. She has to keep clean by changing the dirty pad an washing up with water at least twice a day. Though she is a little anxious about the menses, she still smiles and gave me assurance that she is fine.

15.9.12
Today I had a rift with my brother over his Aussie Fund. I was agitated by him when he doubted me. Well, I withdrew my citibank AUD fund last week and today he asked me if I made a mistake and withdrew his as well. I thought it is so silly of him. So I got mean and talked to him sarcastically. We communicated through whatsapp. Then, JL said I need not be so sarcastic to him even if he is ignorant. Instead, I should assist him as siblings are supposed to support each other.Only then, I realized I did it again. I lost control and became nasty.
I have this temperamental problem. I get agitated easily and get mean. Everyone piss me off and in return I piss them off too. I did that to everyone including my family. I think I am sick. Anyway, just now, I apologized to my brother and related my problem to him in hope for his forgiveness. He accepted my apologies and even suggested that I take evening primrose and exercise more for hormonal balance. I appreciated his concern. How can I be mean and say nasty things to my love ones, haiz.
Realizing that my family has tolerated me for so long and I can sense some fear they have when dealing with me. I am so sorry to them. I have hurt them with nasty words and I gave them unwarranted stress. They have not given up on me and yet they still love me for who I am. I must always remember to be nice. Maybe the next time I lost control, I just scold in front of the mirror and see the ugly side of me. I must show kindness and tolerance too. Yes, I can change.
