In The Night Garden LIVE

We are taking Jinc to go see In The Night Garden Live. He absolutely loves the show, and the LIVE show happens to be around the town near to where we live. We bought premium tickets and make sure we get to sit as close to the stage as possible.

We will have to leave Lilymay to the nanny... :(

Jinc is very excited when I mentioned to him that we are going to meet Iggle Piggle! He will dance his way to the telly and he is so cute. I could see that he is feeling all excited and I am sure he will enjoy the live show!

A New Car

We bought a new car. It is more like a family car as we are a family of four now. It is a Mazda 6 Estate. It is voted the best family car 2010. It suits us ideally at this moment. It has a very spacious car boot which is what we need to put the buggies. It is diesel and can save us on the petrol as the fuel prices are going up so much.

We wanted a seven-seater or a people carrier. In the end, we chose the Estate because it suits us just nice, and I just cannot think of why we would want a seven-seater as we are only a family of four, and the only passengers will be our two little ones.

As our circumstances have changed, I would really miss driving a fast sports car. Perhaps, when the kids grow up, I can choose to drive a sports car again, but I am sure I will be quite old then, and would probably drive at 30mph!!

Hay fever

It is the time of the year, spring...as trees, grass and plants release pollen as part of their reproductive process. It is the season that hay fever sufferers dread most! Sugar has very bad hay fever during this season, I really pity him as he will sneeze about 50 times in a row, and have watery eyes! He uses tissues like there is no tomorrow, and it is a nightmare to be out with him during the day.

He normally starts taking his allergy pills to prevent his hay fever when the very early signs of the symptom appear. He thought of getting an injection to help ease his allergies, but never got around to do it. He gets this every year. He seems to be able to live with it, but I actually hate to see him being so 'affected' by hay fever!

I have read from the internet that it affects around one in four people, which is quite common during spring and summer.

Let's hope and pray that I will not get it, but you will never know!

A little helper...

Jinc is 16 months old now..he is ever so cute, apart from his tantrum...

He is my little helper around the house. Ever since he has a little sister, he understands that he is a brother and has to help around the house. He is such a great help to bin Lily-May's nappies for me whenever Lily-May has a change, he is able to tidy up his own toys, he is always making sure the kitchen door is shut, whenever the door is left open, he will just go and close the door, and then come to me to ask for a praise. He is so cute, I think he is very bright at 16 months old!

It is so quick now and Jinc is learning to talk. He understands so much from us, whether it is in Mandarin, Cantonese or in English. He will nod his head when it is a 'yes', and he is able to say 'no'. He waves goodbye and gives out flying kisses. He helps me a lot to pass things around, especially I told him to put things back on the table.

He can do so much, with his little hands, and he understands so much. However, he is not potty train yet... I wonder how to start, especially I have a baby to look after and can't find the time and patience to potty train him.. We shall wait, i guess.

Looking forward to a great day out.. Unfortunately, my little princess will not be coming with us, she will go to nanny's for a relaxing day.

Hope to take her with us NEXT year!

Sixty Six!

When I was pregnant with Lily-May, the final weeks were dreadful. I was so huge that I could not sleep well, I could not find a comfortable position in bed, and my bump was so big, I could not carry Jinc!

On those final weeks, I was 80kg, that was the heaviest ever in my 35 years of age!

Now, six weeks post pregnancy, I am 66kg! Still a long way to go to reach my ideal weight, which is 50kg!

Stealing time...


Argh, i am so busy with two young kids now. It is quite fun in some ways, but hardly have time to myself.

It is very warm today, the live-in helper, or rather, the nanny has taken Jinc to the park, Lily-May is having her nap, and I thought I should get some sleep myself, but quiet afternoon like this is so hard to come by, I decided to go online, and blog...finally!

I am so please to have two lovely kids now. Everything looks good, but inside my heart, I really fancy some time to myself, so that I could put my feet up, for once, or have a long bath, without having to worry about the kids.

A mom of two, it is a challenge every day and hardly can get things done uninterrupted, even talking on the phone for a while, is as challenging as ever! I am going to have to live like this for the next few years, is this a good thing or a bad thing?
