Cinderella Babies

it was already 11.30pm and both my precious were still awake, so full of energy, so full of life, room filled with laughter and carpet spread with toys...

MM helped me to pat Reeve to sleep, but no use, he just refused to! I phoned babee (who was out entertaining) to come back at once as i really cannot take it anymore even with the help of MM. Ah Ku took Renee to his room for a while, while i put the younger RY (Rascal Yap) to sleep. He has never done this before, somehow he just turned and tossed for the 52millionth times and was about to dose off when his favourite person in the entire galaxy walk thru the door.

He called out a prolonged "Ba--beeee" and started to giggle with EYES that cannot open any bigger, he signalled babee to carry and when he did, RY2 relaxed on babee's shoulder...the bonding is so strong *envy*

Then Renee came running out of ah ku's room to greet "Babee" with similar welcome note but this time with more emotions like hugging, kissing and sniffing...The babee hushed me down to eat my favourite Hokkien Mee from Loke Yew while he puts RY to sleep - Wow! He succeeded! He brought RY1 down to open up her Christmas presents from the guys he entertained earlier.

It was a Barbie playhouse that turns, sings and moves??? RY2 got what looks like a standing table with balls flying everywhere. Babee got a box of Bvlgari and me? I opened up my box (while eating Hokkien Mee) and saw TWO bottles of parfume and some other very nice Calvin Klein merchandise, but it all went to AMD as mami do not use parfume...

I lured MM, AMD and yaya to join in the crime framed upon me by my considerate hubby - the whacking of the Hokkien Mee *less guilty* It was already 12.45am then...it is the last day of the year today and it is Mann-Mann jeje's birthday too on Saturday...MY 2005 (my next blog title)

Mid Valley with Reeve, while je-je was in Genting with Michelle, MM, Li-Chi, Ling2, AMD, Yaya

While mami, Lauren and Reeve were at a.Audreys Yap Kwan Seng house

JayLyn arrived and Lauren was out of the picture

u.avvy showing his fondness to his wife in public

Babee and mami wishing all a Merry Merry X'mas!

Reeve was already tired of his 2nd Christmas

this X'mas with daddy's boy

Ever since you came back from Melaka, you have been so attached to babee. Every little thing you will just clang on to him like a Koala Bear. You called him "babee" while he was driving today then leaned your body on his shoulder and called out several more times. That same day, you pointed at our room door and yelled out "kakak" (referring to Dilah) to come to your rescue. When mami tried to wear your shoe for you, you pointed at your feet then mumbbled "col-col" in a sad tone. I think you want to tell me that you prefer cooler feet than warmer ones tucked in shoes...fine...Minutes after returning home, you saw Kakak Eko, you pointed at her and again said steadily "Ko". Mann Mann walked past and kissed your forehead, you smiled at her affectionately then called "MummMumm"...Yes! I am miffed! I carried you for 38 weeks in my stomach, nutured you till you are 15 months old and you call all others than you own mami? *sob sob*

I watched you walk for a firm 20-25 feet, both babee and i stood next to one another waiting for you to walk into our arms, but you would go to him to share your victory.

______________________________________________

Christmas Eve, we spent at a.audreys, the Teh's served a delightful full course dinner meant for carnivores only and I seriously mean any mammals or plant that eats meat only should be there! The spread was eye opening, the generousity of the liquor was even more jaw dropping. But because mami had to take care of you, so i only had 2 glasses of wise-key, while waiting for the arrivals of a.sandy, a.nicole and others... while we were there, i placed you with Lauren, you both played happily for about an hour until jaylyn arrived. When you saw her father, you cried so loud. When a.johhny tried to lean forward to carry you, your cries became even more intense (dunno why??) I pat you to sleep after you stole a few pecks from jaylyn. When the clock stikes 12, everyone exchanged kisses and gifts...i got a purple cow - note clip from a.audrey.

Merry Christmas, sweethearts! that precise moment babee's phone rang and it was Renee calling from a.sue's number wishing him "Merry Christian" (too much of church) ..i suppose, either that or Sue's intepretation of Christmas was only meant for Chistians!

After i reached home, i saw my sugary daughter, i approached her to give her a Yuletide kiss, but AMD gestured me away - then said "ng tak ah, mat mien seen, ho toh yan sek hui ah" (cannot la, wipe her face first, alot of people kissed her). I know for sure Sue is one of the many culprits...ho..ho..ho

Merry 18SX'mas!!!

Jingle Balls, Jingle Balls, Jingle all the way...ooops...Merry 18SX'mas to you all TOO!!!!

(reeve, please dont be angry with mami for posing your naked photo here ok...i just love this pic so much)

Gifts from KOREA

Gifts from Bangkok, i left out a piece of tiny triangular lemon cake that a.AM bought for me from the only bakery she came across. She left it in my room on the last day before departure...me? i didn't ask who bought it for me (but my guess was her la) until it was half way in my mouth...it has a butterfly on it. Silly me, forgot to thank her, she had to ask me in the airport, even my husband was not that totful!

we went to Kowloon to meet Jaylyn, somehow you were not all that excited to see her than when you see R.E and Lauren. My guess is that its probably because you have not seen her for more than a month now. You played with her for a while then she left for home, they cannot spend so much time out now because she has a new sailo as well just like you.

we reached home close to 10.30pm, still no sign of AMD, yaya and MM. 20 minutes later, we received a call from them saying their flight has landed, but they will head for supper first. Guess the Korean food must have been BAD just like how Rayern daddy and mummy described it! After hearing that, i put you to sleep without much waiting, i only heard their door closing at around 1am.

this morning when babee opened the room door, there was a supersmall Korean costume hung outside our door. He brought it in to show you, but you were still half zonked. Babee brought you down to the kojong as both of us were leaving for work, so better put you d/stairs where kakak can see you. On the way down, i saw many more smaller gifts and cartoon characters for I DUN NO WHO? As i was walking out of the house, you in your kojong waiving high then said "bye bye mami, you go office ah?"

"Bye Bye darling, see you at 4!"...

Gifts from Bangkok

Mami received a white with purple writing t-shirt from a.joanne at SuanLum

On the t-shirt the wordings caught both our attention, it says "Vain Pots", we laughed and she insisted on buying me that.

A.audrey on the last day, bought you a doggy bag from Naraya. You picked the red/blue bag but she insisted that you should have the "beige" one instead as she has carefully picked that specially for you and that it is more expensive than the red/blue piece.

A.audrey had earlier gotten some wrap arounds for herself, but when i saw the purple piece, i locked my eyes on it and she immediately say i can have it as she has bought tons of it...hahahaa

HO..HO..HO...Thank you all!!!

Land of Smiles

We set off for Bangkok on the 15th Dec for a hiatus, you got up as early as 6am for the flight, no struggles and crying at all during the morning shower. Unfortunately the flight was delayed for 2 hours, when we finally arrived BKK, all you babies were so tired, so all we could do was to only bring you all to the nearest shopping mall for some grocery shopping. In Central Chitlom, both Rayern and Lauren were so tired that they slept in your prams and the most beautiful thing was you actually baby sat them when their mummies were trying on clothes. a.Rena was another extremely helpful person, she practically baby sat and assisted all of us in carrying our shopping bags and prams 24/7.

The daddies played golf for 2 good days, leaving the mummies to shop with you kiddos. On the 2nd day I brought a.joanne, a.audrey and a.Rena to Ma Boo Kong Centre and later to Siam Discovery to get some BBushe apparels. Nope! this time round we did not get crazy over the prices as there was nothing much to shout about. *Dissapointed*. So far, throughout the entire trip, you have been a great girl, no unnecessary outburst nor cranky behaviour. You just blended in so well with the 2 babies, each time Rayern sees you, he screams joyful "eee...aaaa" and Lauren kicks her hands and feet yelling "babaaaa...baaabaaaa". Both these babies just loves your company and i think the feeling is mutual too. Every morning you wake up, first thing you do is take your own shower, then got dressed to meet the other 2 kiddos for more adventures. I was surprised that you were generous enough to share your prams with them.

On the 3rd day, babee brought us to Chatuchat, (the famous 14ache open market) u.jeff had to carry R.E the whole time, Lauren and you took turns to be saronged under u.billy's armpit the whole afternoon while a.audrey, a.joanne, a.Rena, including myself had a ball of a time buying "cheap-cheap" things there. Babee bought his army shirts, pants, torchlights and i got some ARMY stuffs for sailo too. As for you, mami only managed to get pyjamas and banana slippers. We left right after lunch, as it was alomost impossible for the uncles to carry babies in one arm and trying to squeeze through the tiny lanes. Thank god the weather was forgiving, it was sunny throughout the 4 days we were there, but the temperature was at most 26 deg, at night it dropped to 19 deg. u.jeff suggested coming back to BKK every December for golf and shopping as the temperature was just perfect.

At night we went to Suan Lom Night Bazaar or more crazy sprees, it was just endless! Everytime R.E or Lauren cried, you pat them and calm them down by singing and dancing. You pushed their prams around, you carried Lauren in the taxi and hugged her so tightly when the taxi moved. At times, you give a difficult and spoilt impression to people, but i think deep down, you are so good with taking care of others, winning hearts, considerate (at times) and especially talking your way out of trouble! why mami say this?

At the Airport, I placed you in the baby cot to change your diaper, then you asked me to wait, then did i realise you peeed in the old diaper one last time before mami changed into the new diaper. At that moment, i gave you a peck and asked where you learn to conserve like that? It was a very considerate thing you did especially at your age! In the cab, a.joanne opened a pack of biscuit for R.E, you told her not to as it might dirty the uncle's taxi, but you still took the largest bite after all...hahahha. a.Rena was looking for her m&m's and when you found it, you went around the super huge penthouse to look for her and then return it to her. I told you to eat it, but you said "cannot, after a.Rena angry how?". At last a.Rena spoilt you with all those colourful chockies till your lips turned blue...so funny.

Overall, the trip was like a joyful roller coaster ride - it was FATULOUS! we should have it more often and the idea of staying in a service apartment is excellent! Bravo to Billy! Generally, both R.E and Lauren were so well behaved and jolly. a.Rena is a sweetheart, she was so helpful, she is a must have at ALL occasions! a.joanne did not get to eat her sharksfin nor did she get a proper massage so this means we still have to go back for more...a.audrey will have to start her count down now for another shopping spree - X'mas 2006! Thats all folks...till then!

Blog-in

Renee was talking on babee's phone to herself as usual, she laughed and pretended as if there "was" really someone at the other end answering her questions. She must have gotten bored with the "talking" and "no replies".

So next, she placed the communicator down and flipped it open, she typed in some password, but failed, she kept typing with both her hands fully utilising all her 10 fingers. At that moment she looked up at me "mami, like you hor?" (probably imitating me when I am blogging).

To reassure me that she was referring to me blogging, she added sternly "mami don't disturb me, Renee working ah!" (pointing 1 finger at close proximity to my nose). Babee asked me if I tell her that when I am blogging, I nodded with my lips pressed tightly on one another...

Yap Jay Den celebrates fullmoon

this afternoon, we went for lunch with yaya, AMD and MM, after we got down, as I was about to cross the tiny lane to get across to the restaurant, a car stopped in front of us (waiting in queue to pay carpark), i noticed that you quickly handed me your jut-jut (pacifier). out of curiosity i looked in to the car and saw one girl, her little brother and her mother all laughing and pointing at you...then did i realise you were aware and ashamed that they are making fun of your jut-jut. heee...so now i know what i can do to make you reduce the usage. in the car you reminded me that Rayern's kung-kung was also making fun of your pacifier the other night and you even used both fingers to swipe your cheek then said "jut jut tak malu eeeeee"

8pm - we parked our car at Hartamas, a.audrey came to pick us up with Lauren as we thought there may be as many guests as the last fullmoon (close to 600 guests) so better not drive there. Lauren was again taking her car nap and was awaken by you -Renee. you held her hands and giggled when she looked at you, she in return held both our hands for assurance as her mummy was driving.

we arrived shortly pass 8 at the mansion, a.sandy was feeding the lil' Yap his formula milk, one glance, exactly like u.johnny but a closer look indicates a blend of both. we gave our presents, said "Hi" to everyone and was gestured to have our buffet out at the garden. a.joanne had arrived with her family, but lil Rayern was no where to be seen? i asked his jj and he pointed upstairs, placed his palm together under his ears and tilted his head, "Ohhh..."

9pm - ah yee only came at around 9pm, you recognised her and greeted her with lots of laughter. at around that time Rayern came down as well but he was still blur from the nap. after a thorough warm-up, he was standing and clapping hands with you. at one point, both of you were posing for mami when Rayern lost his balance and fell head (back) down. a.christine, a.joanne, ah yee and myself exclaimed so loud that it frightened the poor boy more than anything. he didn't dare to stand anymore after that, but in no time he started chasing you everywhere you go...so cute...

when Rayern's kakak was feeding him his fried rice, you asked for some and that "some" somehow lead to "a lot", but both a.joanne and i just kept quiet and allow kakak to keep feeding you (you being such a picky and choosy eater)

10pm - the mummies went in to the house once again to grab some shots of the new Yap with his mummy. i saw you playing so happily with Jaylyn, didn't want to disturb you, but just had to as babee was tired from the day golf. we left shortly after that and headed home.

just wish sailo was here too...

received this from u.martin this morning saying that he is happy and healthy!

To Circumcise or Not To?

Why has the question aroused my curiosity?

I spoke to u.Jason last night at The Flams, enquired about his kids, he sighed and answered “have to go for operation” I exclaimed “hah! what happened?”

Then out from his pocket u.Jason took a pen and drew on a serviette, “don’t be offended ah, I am not being hum sup ah...”

2 testicles and 1 penis was the drawing
Apparently the tunnel that is suppose to allow urine and all to pass through has resulted in 1 testicle carrying more water than the other, so lil’ jason junior has to go in for a minor operation to seal one side of the tunnel as to balance off the testicles. The surgeon assured u.Jason that his 2 year old son would be alright after 3 hours as it is an ultra-minor operation. Then the surgeon also suggested a circumcision while he is at it. This will not only keep the penis area clean, should his penis outgrown the foreskin (penis trapped in foreskin - painful), then he will eventually need to operate too and the older the kid gets, more pain will be endured, plus he added it will look better too wo…

“huh?” look better? Okay (have not seen circumcised penises before so I will not comment)

u.Jason then asked me to bring Reeve to perform the circumcision too as it will definitely benefit him in the future. *Puzzled* + *Scared* Throughout the entire conversation, my eyes was squinty and my face was folded many times over. The thought of someone placing a knife at my son’s kuku jiao is unimaginable!!!!

So…I would like to ask for some opinions here…kindly comment freely and daringly!

Working late

you denotes - Renee

Tonight is the latest i have worked since i had you two kiddos, normally mami leaves work at around 4 or sometimes if I am hardworking i work till 5.30 and that too, my dear is considered late. Tonight i only left the office at 7.30pm as i had a projection and budget meeting for year 2006. During the budget meeting, ah yee smsed me and told me that she was at Flams Bangsar, ask me to drop in. I did not reply her, but after I came out from the office, i felt like I really needed a cold one to flush down all the stress that was set upon me.

As I walked pass the individuals at Flams, i remembered the puking scene the last time i came, unembarassed as i was and unaffected as i should be, i just dropped my bag and downed ah yee's fresh glass of Carlsberg. After that I felt so refreshed and gave out a loud and successful *eeeeerrk*

The night passed very slowly, i called home to check upon you and kakak eko told me that ah ku had brought you out to KFC...*phew* atleast you are being entertained and so i do not have to feel that guilty for happy houring...i received a missed call from HOME at around 10.30, so when i called home, MM aswered:-

mami: Mann-Mann you called for me ah?
MM: Ku che, no la, Renee wants me to call you, wait ha...
Renee: Mami!!!! i go Kentucky wo...ok la, Mami Goodnight!
mami: wait..Renee, why you want to sleep already ah?
Renee: hmmmmm....(passed the phone to MM)
MM: Ku che, mou yea la...Renee just oi tung lei kong Goodnight only la..bye bye (hung up)

I felt the instant haunt of guilt, i went in, grabbed my bag and ah yee said she has just ordered 1 more jug and i have to atleast drink 1 more glass before leaving. Okay, okay...i hastily drank i more glass and made my way through the busy Bangsar avenue.

I was as usual greeted by a loud and promising girl - My Renee! we rolled on the bed, giggled, exchanged touches and dozed off at 12, but before I forget, babee called to check on both of us at 12.15 and confrimed my presence before he too z z z z z z z z z z z z z z .......

for a thought: How could anyone resist not being with their children after a call to say Mami Goodnight! My heart just sank...

Rayern so big already ah?

MM: "Ku che, can i bring Renee to the church tonight to play with the kids?" Mami: "i guess you can"

She turned to ah ku to tell him the good news, ah ku then packed for 1 set of extra clothing, 1 set of pyjamas, 1 towel, 2 nappy, 3 diapers and asked kakak to prepare your milk. as puzzled as everyone was, i asked ah ku - "how many days are you planning to bring my daughter for ah?" he replied: "it is better to have more than less you know, you never know when she dirties herself and needs a shower or maybe have diarrhea leh" i shook my head and smiled at my brothers meticulousness.


After all 3 of you left for the church, babee and I drove yaya and AMD down to Ting Heng for dinner. In the restaurant, 3 suk kung, handed me a mini computer and a Hello Kitty soft toy for you. I said i will make sure Renee thank you herself later when she comes. We had a ball of a time eating andd drinking, even the not so sociable babee was drinking and bottoming up with yaya...

You made your grande-entre at around 10pm, you ran towards me to give me a big hug, then to babee to kiss him, followed by AMD then 3 suk kung. Initially you just gave him a peck on the cheek but after i showed you the gifts, you went over to cuddle him, then kissed his face meaningfully and sang a prolonged "I.....LOOOOOOOOOOVE YOOOOOOOOOOOOUUUUUUUUU". 3 suk kung laughed so much and complaint to yaya that he has a very cunning grand-daughter. Then compared her to me when i was young - but the conclusion was the same, you are more cunning than me!!! ahahahahaha....

the picture above was taken on 3rd of Dec (Rayern was exactly 14mths) by a.joanne at her house. Renee was dressed in Rayern's clothes because she had peeed in her pants and she insisted that i change her into Rayerns clothing. Thus, we have a grown Rayern lo...

Duracell * 2 (Part 2)

Sunday

8.45am - i was awaken by my dear hubby, your dear babee at 8.45am to go to the gym at The Curve

9.06am - SMSed a.AM to prompt her that we are already on our way, she replied "no la..have to ffk (fong fei kei) going to curve at 2pm with desi". babee and i had breakfast at Hometown Kopitiam. at gym i did yoga as my back was suffering from muscle cramp

12 noon - left gym for home, played with Renee for a bit and i changed into my pyjamas getting ready to sleep again. babee called u.jeff to make arrangements for more golf. he changed Renee and dragged me out of bed to go to the Yaps again. i refused to, but he insisted, he said i promised a.AM to be at The Curve at 2pm...i did?


2.30pm - the daddies left for golf, mummies and kids drove to Curve, met up with a.desi and Belen at Secret Recipe. you wanted to go for the animal ride at the Watson corner, so as usual you bugged me until i could not take it, so i brought you there with Rayern and his kakak. i left you there with them and return to savour my Cheezy Choc. after 10minutes, a.AM was impatient as her most precious was not with her, so she walked over with Belen to bring you guys back. you sat with Belen both having fries, laughing and feeding one another. but after a while, you came to me and started bugging me again, so i had to get up and bring you over. this time after i paid the lady there, i placed you on the elephant, you started crying and screaming...(dont know why), i warned you to stop, but you cried louder, so i smacked you on your arm. throughout the afternoon i was so disturbed with your crankiness (no nap).

6.30pm - the minute we got in to the car you dozed off but not for long, after approximately 4mins you got up hearing both Belen and Rayern's voice. From then you just opened your eyes and looked at me until we reached a.AM's house

8pm - dinner with the Yaps + Rayern's KK and PP.

10pm - i reached home, threw myself on the bed and was motionless, but babee still had the energy to massage me, watch DVD and you name it, he did it!

Thus the Title Duracell * 2, it refers to both Renee and Ronnie...they just don't get tired, i never understand how they do it?

Duracell * 2

this weekend we did so much that i do not even know where i should begin from.

Saturday

9.15am - left home with Renee to have fish ball noodle in Pudu then to KLCC, babee went to gym and we both wondered around

1.30pm - left KLCC, went to Chuai Heng for dim sum with a.AM, u.jeff and Rayern. they introduced their new kakak and you just familiarise yourself with her after 10minutes. most of the time you entertained the baby-chair confined Rayern, both laughed at each others silliness and faces then after lunch both went up to the stage to hug one another.

3pm - babee has decided to go to the driving range with u.jeff, but i wanted to go home first to change and shower.

4pm - arrived 1Utama, babee and u.jeff were both in the golf shop, after their purchase they left in 1car to the range. a.AM and i together with da kids went shopping for zo-e's birthday present and individually brought Rayern to the Chicco Playland while you went on the train ride.

6pm - left for their house, in the car, a.AM carried Rayern in front, noone is to make a sound as lil Rayern can only sleep in total silence...so i asked asked you to "shuh", then you immediately turned to the back to ask the kakak to "shuh" as well. Everything you did like flip the pages of a book or opened the cover of the bottle, you did it so quietly and discreetly...such a considerate girl.

8.00pm - We waited for all to take their shower. left home to The Curve to have steak at TGIF (most horrible), walked for a bit, went back to their house again to watch Red Dragon (Samo Hung, Simon Yum and Donnie Yen) an excellent production i must say!

12midnight - left the Yaps to return to H.S.H.....snor................snor..................

i slept before Renee did..

Mami's all time favourite old pictures...

Reeve 5 mths old in Regent Hotel with Renee. Both in blue, such an unforgetable sight!




Mami with Reeve in Hartamas, 11 mths old. First time he allowed me to wear a bandena for him








Reeve 3 mths old in "kojong" so round and...round







Renee sugar pie exactly 2 years old in Prince Hotel KL. Although this dress does not fit her anymore, i still keep it...perhaps for Renee's daughter. Just luv those shoes!










the Michellin baby was 5 mths old, just luv that boy next door look - so *bleh* and *dur* looking...

A Constipated Child is a Stubborn Child (True or False)

i have always heard of this saying and related it to myself as i "used" to be a constipated child just until a few years back though. it was only last night i actually find it a very true saying...here it goes...

Occasion: Post Birthday steamboat dinner with u.Hoesi and a.Sue
Venue: Ting Heng, Jln Imbi

Renee signaled me to put her on Ivan's baby chair, but when i placed her in, she suddenly cried extremely loud wanting me to sit next to her. before i could remove a.sue's cutlery, Renee's tears had already bursted in to even bigger droplets. i sat down on my chair piercing my eyes right through her and asked her to behave herself or we will go back right a way. the cries became more irrational and barbaric, by then AMD had already gotten up to walk over to caress her, yaya told her (AMD) to sit down, but she just picked up pace as she walked from the other side of the table. all the other uncles and aunties had the same comment, "pei kui harm"..."mou jung ah" (leave her there to cry...don't pamper her) too late...AMD just picked her up and cuddled her, totally ignoring everyone on the table.

AMD must have been a constipated child too to have refused to listen to anyone...she wanted an immediate silence for Renee but she doesn't know that it may affect her attitude towards people and perceptions in the future.

i continued enjoying my "fat beef" while a.sue continued feeding Ivan with egg white. Minutes have passed, i felt a small hand pulling my shirt, then the tiny palm patted my lap, a subtle voice from behind my back said "mami, sorry...i don't want to cry like that again"

i turned back to look at her, then she came to my other side and repeated the same words again. i kissed her forehead and was concerned on why she pulled such a stunt?

When we reached home, after her milk, she tried very hard to poo-poo, but couldn't. so i guess the saying is correct - the Constipation must have kicked in for her to have pulled such a terrifying act!
