This title certainly got you clicking
Everyone has their styles. Some hold their groins scurrying and yelling “I gotta go I GOTTA GO” while others do so subtly, yet while others (still) don’t tell you AT ALL that they have done it.
As far as a number 1 goes, Caleb won’t tell you. At all. [...]
*Jie jie means older sister in Mandarin, and coincidentally, also in Cantonese; just in different intonations.
Between my two kids, the one who seems to show more compassion is, surprisingly, my son.
Maybe because Caitlin has somewhat been spoiled being the centre of attention for the first 3 years of her life. Maybe she unconsciously resents [...]
It’s not too surprising that Asian parents let their children sleep in the same room as them; with the cot or the small toddler-sized bed in the room. Not surprising cos we all do it
Since Caleb’s arrival, and since we are unsure about our medium-term plans, we have not invested in re-arrangements of [...]
I was just reading this article about disciplining children, and reminded me of what had happened only this morning.
Granted it would always be the parents’ fault if children don’t get sufficient sleep/not going to bed early enough. Of late, I have found that Caitlin would still wake at around the same time in the morning, [...]
So how many of us realise; and how often do we remind ourselves, that whatever we do, say, behave, respond to situations, treat our own loved ones and other fellow human beings, we are being watched by the little kids around us?
Sometimes when I make a passing remark, opinion, upcoming event or plans, Caitlin would [...]
At least I also think that’s what it’s called.
But just like Daddee being innocently ignorant about its proper description, Caitlin was referring to her new pair of shoes as the “up down shoes”.
Now you gotta really sit down and think about how she could possibly come up with a name like that. I did, yet [...]
I was showing Caleb some of the videos I have taken; he does seem to like watching them too, and I kinda condone it ‘cos I remind him of who everyone is especially the relatives.
Showed him the tongue action of his jie-jie
He immediately copied what he saw!
And by the way, having the radio going all [...]
Woken by the kids, got them some morning snacks, and since it wasn’t too sunny and hot….
Luckily for everyone, Caleb actually likes to push from behind. But it won’t be long though, before he’d be wanting to ride.
Yes, they were still in their jammies. It’s Sunday okay- give us parents a break!
Evening came and it [...]
With a lack of toys and an abundance of imagination, Caitlin has had to improvise and make pretend toys to spend (some of) her days. Yes I am a pathetic parent letting my kid endure this.
Her “skills” in improvising seems to have extended into her homework.
See, they are teaching her “long” vowels, like school, food, [...]
I am kinda struggling with this one.
Caitlin, in general is sweet to her younger brother Caleb. Since she was able to walk, she’d been fascinated by other humans her size. So, I guess it shouldn’t be too much of a surprise that she is so, to her little brother.
However, having been the only child for [...]
I am in kinda stressed frame of mind at the moment
I have mentioned before about Caitlin’s creative streak. When we are at home just chilling and the kids are watching the idiot box, Caitlin would actually “multitask” and do some handicraft, using the scrap A4 papers that HM and I bring home from the office. [...]
I started this blog about 2 years ago now. Caitlin would have been about 2.5 years old then.
If memory serves me right, I would have already done this memorable (at least to me) routine with her already: HM was always working late, so it was up to me to tuck Caitlin into bed. At her [...]
Just like the Daddee, my two kids seem to “attract” mosquitoes, as compared to Hot Mummee (and her family members). While she always says it’s because I “smell” (and effectively her own kids too- good one Mummee!) I say it’s because we are sweeter on the inside!
Anyway, Caitlin’s seen Daddee clap-smack mozzies whenever I see [...]
I have always had 2 pairs of sunglasses. They both live in my car, naturally, for driving.
The first pair I got before we had kids. It’s rather fancy in that it’s a wire framed one and therefore rather fragile. The second pair I got probably 2 years ago, from a golf shop. It’s the polarised [...]
Well, alright- he’s been walking for about 3 weeks now.
Check out the various expressions during his stroll in Grandad’s front yard!
Told you he’s a good looking kid after all with this crewcut
I wonder if this happens in other cultures / countries.

Sex affair just to spite parents
By ANDREW SAGAYAM
KUALA LUMPUR: More underage girls are having sex to get back at their parents for neglecting them.
This startling information was revealed by police who said that the girls had initially claimed [...]
This is a snapshot of a short video clip I took of Caleb starting to walk! That was the first weekend of April 2009; Caleb was born in Jan 2008.
Tonight he’d managed pretty much 30 feet of walking!
Won’t be long now before we’d have to start chasing him! And installing a gate at the top [...]
