Happy Drawing!

One thing that I love about Little Arielle's drawing is that it always protray a happy feeling :) The sun is smiling and the rainbow is happy too :)

What I super love is she always remember to include her 'baby sister' in the drawing. This is something that also made me sad cos till now, I have not been able to give her a companion :( I too wonder, when that day will come....

My New Toy!

It was just a casual walk around to the Courts Sale at Singapore Expo and I got myself a new camera - Panasonic Lumix 5! Thanks to XP of course :p Yippee....hopefully this new one is able to allow me to take better night shots. My Sony one, sigh....somehow just cannot make it! Even my iPhone takes better night shots than that!

The Same Issue!!

Out of the blue, Little Arielle started saying that she doesn't want to attend her Chinese lass anymore! Wahhh....I thought this is a thing of the past!

She kept asking when is the course ending. When asked why she doesn't like the class, she claimed that she doesn't Ike the teacher. Hmm....but this year, the teacher is different leh!

Xianz....I think I would be having some different moments getting her to class tomorrow :(

She's Getting Naughtier!

Last time, Little Arielle hates to say sorry when she has done something wrong. But now, sorry is a easy word that comes out of her mouth, but in quick and yet unwilling manner! Apparently, she doesn't sound sincere with the apology! Hmm so which way is better?

Price Increase :(

Heard from my mama that Little Arielle's CMA course fee is gonna increase by $30. Though it din seem a lot but the thought of price increase still sucks :(

Sigh....all things increase except for our salary!

No Art Class....

It's not because the teacher declared no class but it was Mummy Me who simply has no mood to bring her :(. Was super upset with some ridiculous remarks and request and I was just boiling mad!

Though one side of me said that I should forget about it and bring her for class, the other side of me just couldn't get over it! So in the end, she just stayed at home with me.

Luckily she was still pretty cooperative and din provoke me further!

Sorry dearie, we will go for class next week!

The Nice Surprise....

Remember my earlier post where I mentioned that Little Arielle will make me happy....Guess what? She got full marks for one of her assignment :p

Wahhh that indeed made me happy! Doing well from the start of the year! Yeah!

As a reward, she got a 'Very Good' stamp from her teacher!

Give Me A Chance....

I was always annoyed with the fact that Little Arielle doesn't want to visit the toilet. Frankly speaking, I have yet to understand the reason why she doesn't want to do so :( So it's always a dread asking her to pee in the morning especially....

Just yesterday, mama told me that she pee-ed onto her pants and socks and apparently, she was very mad with her. I also told Little Arielle off! Scolded her that if she continued to behave in this way, I will not wash her clothes and let her wear those soiled ones!

She called me today and asked me to give her a chance. I was wondering what happened and she told me that she could not pee in time and kena her pants again.

But she said that she would make me happy today....

I Can't Believe It!

Hee....you know what? XP just booked the tickets to Maldives!!! Ahhhh I can't believe that we are going there! Hee....it's so exciting! Though Little Arielle is coming with us but it's okie lah....I shouldn't be so mean to always want to exclude her :p

Counting down to May....

Little Performer

Hee....can't believe that one of my colleague is asking me to get Little Arielle to perform in our upcoming CNY celebration :p

I came back and asked if she is interested to do so and her immediate answer is YES. All right....I will try to teach her how to sing everyday hee :p

1st Edudrama Class for 2012

It's January! Start of the brand new school term! That means I will be busy every weekend again! This is the first 1.5hr lesson for her Julia Gabriel class. Hmm that means she will get to borrow 2 books instead of 1. Mummy Me must be really on to read to her in preparation of her P1!

Glad that she is happy going for her class!

1st Art Lesson for 2012!

It's the day of the week that I dread!! Everyone is excited about Friday but I am simply hating it :(. That's because I had to sit in with Little Arielle for her art class. I feel it's a waste of time for me but on the other hand, I don't feel safe leaving her alone cos the other students in the class are quite mischievous and the teacher couldn't handle it sometimes! So I think I will just have to sacrifice my time and continue to go in with her!

The consoling part is that she has improved a lot from the time she first started! Ahhhh....this is the part which made me feel my sacrifice is worth the while!

1st Day in K2 2012

It's the first day of school for Little Arielle today. She was very cooperative this morning! Din kick a fuss when she was asked to drink milk :). Especially when it was from her cup and not her milk bottle! Only thing was that she still din like the idea of peeing in the morning! Just dun know what is wrong with her! Hmph!

The transition from our house to mama's house was very smooth! Upon reaching, mama quickly changed her, tied her hair and we are all ready for school!

Not sure if it were the familiar faces which made her feel at ease, she happily went into class without any teary look. Wonder if she would be as happy when she goes into P1 next year. Sigh....the thought of it just gave me the jitters!!

Orientation 2012

It's Little Arielle's orientation day this morning. XP din manage to take leave as he had a new colleague joining his dept today and he is his buddy. As such, it's just Mummy Me :(. As I din want to be alone, I asked mama to accompany me.

Sitting through that almost 2hrs of briefing is no joke! I found myself constantly yawning away. Thankfully, my iPhone kept me awake :p. After understanding what is required of us and the things needed on Thur, we were dismissed. Both mama and I quickly cheong to queue up for the uniform purchase. Luckily we did that cos it was a long queue thereafter. Got 2 sets of uniform and 2 sets of PE attire. That easily cost me $39. And I finally understood why the queue is so long! Cos the lady is so slow in filling up the receipt. Faintz!

Hee heng I was clever. Mama queued at the uniform side while I went to settle her school fees. When I was back, she was still in the queue.

Everything ended at about 10.45am. By the time I reached mama's house, I only got chance to rest for a while before going off to work. Time flies....my girl is already in K2 this year. Wished that time would have pass by slower....so stressed that she is going to be P1 next year. I think I better be disciplined and start to do some teaching at home before it's too late!

Pumpkin Patch Contest Result

The result is out....and oh well, Little Arielle din make it as one of the winners. Apparently, the top 4 winners are those mixed blood again. Sigh....

But nevermind lah....at least she still get a $30 participation voucher :)

And of course, must thank all the aunties, uncles, kor kor and jie jie who have voted for her! Thanks for all your support :)

Finally Going Somewhere....

After weeks of thinking where to go for our last trip for the year, the booking is finally made today!

And yes....we are going to Bangkok :p It was after some checking that we concluded it would be safe to go. Had I said Yes earlier, XP would be able to secure the SIA promo to BKK. Sorry....was indecisive cos was concerned about the hygiene issue after the flood. In any case, XP managed to get another promo (though not as good as SIA but better than nothing!) and we are going to stay in InterCont. Hee....think it's a 4 or 5 star hotel. He said that we will be celebrating my birthday there :)

Think Little Arielle will love a 4/5 star hotel :p Looking forward to the trip!

Ironic!

When I'm at work, I can't wait to get home and see my little gal. But alas, when I got home, I can't wait to get this sticky koala bear off my back! Just want some peace and quiet siaz....

Poor Little Arielle!

Top Secret!

This was a conversation between Little Arielle and me that took place after I have eaten my home delivery pizza dinner!

LA: Mummy, Daddy 对你很好leh....*secret*
Me: huh? 是meh? 那里好？
LA: 他留东西给你吃，没有自己吃到完！
Me: *Thinking to myself* So cute leh :p. Like that also a secret and she forbids me to tell her Daddy!

Hahaha....at least she kinda of appreciates such gesture and hopefully she would share her things too!

Farnie Prezzie!!

Daddy: what bday prezzie are you gtg for me?
LA: 底裤！
Me: Hahaha!

It was a casual question with a super farnie answer! I din ask Little Arielle what she is gonna get for me, in case she said bra set :p

No SAHM for Me!

I have many a time wish that I am a homemaker so that I can grow together with Little Arielle. Sadly....I realised that my patience is seeping away from me as age catches up!

It's either she's too naughty to begin with or I simply lack the drive and energy....Or is it because older kids by nature are more difficult to deal with?

In any case, I'm glad that there is my mama to take care of her while I work. Else I think I will really go crazy with all the screaming and shouting in the house! Little Arielle loves to irritate me when I'm in a bad mood :(

I think if there is a chance down the road, at most I will go for part time work :p At least there's some income too :)
