LaundryAmah

After the shoes, there really wasn’t anything to see, so went back to the diaper queue and found a chair and relaxed la! Suddenly I heard someone calling me AMAH! It was Shannon! She looked at me with the most grateful and relieved look! Yes, before she asked, I offered to put in the order of the diapers together with mine! Yes, this time round they became more efficient, gave us a form to fill to avoid confusion and wasting time.

Shannon said she will not go again..but if I can go in prior to the public time, why not???

I would like to thank all well wishers and Apah for his be-early present and also a surprise bouquet of flowers he had sent to my office. Ok, the present was expected, since he was going to be away, the flowers came as a surprise but after knowing who delivered them, it was like cheh……Anyway, it was still very sweet of him la….pssstt…Apah hardly buy flowers for me, if I ever received flowers, means he screwed up bad!! kakakakakkaa….

It was a quiet birthday, ate dinner at mom’s place. Aiya, celebrated last week ledi ma…thanks to Oscar Mommy & gang!

Update on Kieran

Ok, my patience level with him has really been tested maximum ledi. I really cannot tahan anymore. Firstly, the stress of sending and bringing him back from school like not enough, to coach and guide him to finish his homework is the major test!

Since Apah is not around, for the past few days it’s been me helping him with the work. It’s not that he’s not bright at all, just soooo lazy. Reminds me of my maid now! I kept telling him,

Me-Do you want to be like kakak?

K-No..

Me-Then you must concentrate and think!

K-??? looking at me blankly

Well weyo? Doing maths with him really can vomit blood one. The maths he’s doing now is like a repetition from kindy standard only, but he’s like so totally blur and refused to think at all. When I prompt him for the answer, he just tembak (simply guess) the answer, like what’s the difference between 2 & 1, he will like just stare into la la land and just simply guess one answer! Ayoooo…tuition teacher will only start classes in February…I know it’s like a few more days but still, it’s disheartening to find out how slow he is, and also he couldn’t even complete copying what he’s supposed to copy from the whiteboard! He couldn’t complete copying the homework for Monday and guessed what he did? He asked his friend to complete it for him on Tuesday!!! Die or not????

Ya ya..the title like so contrasting, clubbing mother..tsk tsk…bad example…no lar..I don’t do this all the time ok, only when Piggyhoo comes back for holiday…otherwise who will go with me leh..

Last Saturday Amah went clubbing with Piggyhoo. We went to this club called Luna Bar located on the 34th floor of Menara Pan Global. Wah…it was an eye opener for Amah, cos that place was like fuiyoh, so cantik (beautiful) ok. It was sort of open concept, the bar surrounding the swimming pool (facilities for the Pacific Regency Suite Service Apartments). The window seats were all booked so we didn’t get to sit there. The window seats are like so romantic ok, with full window view of KL. Our table is next to the pool with a view of KLCC but because of the angle we didn’t get the view of the twin towers. It was a rainy Saturday so the club was faily quiet. There is also a floor above with better view but that place is always booked in advance.

Since there were only two of us, it was kinda boring after a while. The food they served was not good and kinda burnt too. When we complained and asked them to change they came back after a while and told us it’s standard! Just because they have a nice location they can serve yucky food! What a spoiler! We left early and didn’t bother to go to another club as it was pouring…

Kylie’s Update

Last Friday we went back to old place to sleep and Kylie goes back to her cot. But to our horrors, in the middle of the night she was standing next to our bed staring into Apah’s face and said this,

K-Eh…

Apah-Amah wake up! Kylie got out of the cot herself!

Amah-huh……WHAT??!!??

Turned on the light and then put her back inside the cot. She cried a while but then she demonstrated how she got out again! She put up one leg then pushed herself up and while hanging on the railing, she stretched out her arms to the bed railing on Kieran’s bed andslipped over! Tada! Terror or not???

It’s been very difficult to get her to sleep also. When I start singing this, “Baby baby go to sleep…” She will shake her head and say, “No no..” Oh God help me for the next 3 nights as Apah is away in Singapore!

Wah..I finally tasted the famous fish head noodles at Taman Desa thanks to my cousin, aka Piggyhoo’s mom, the famous nyonya kuih producer and food critic too! hahahhaa..anyway, the noodles tasted heavenly and was a huge serving. The wait for the food is about over 30 minutes so go early!! Location…errr..how to explain ah..aiya u wanna go then only ask me la! I had the one without the milk (left pix) and the one on the right is the one with milk. Preferred the one without milk as the portion was so generous, so without milk not so full la…

On another day we went to this place called Fatty Chong at Taman Sentosa also recommended by the food critic mentioned above. The Guiness Beer Ribs tasted really good even though I was not a pork eater, this one really made me take the 2nd, 3rd and so on and so forth pieces….chomp chomp…ayo no wonder put on weight la!

I have been doing a lot of weeding lately, in fact it’s a daily affair now, but those darn weeds grow so fast I can’t catch up leh! And their roots are so strong and darn deep summore! Look at the bald patch, it was infested with lalang ok! My poor fingers..despite wearing gloves also siong leow! (injured) While I was weeding, my little busybody wants to help too but of course gave me more headache then helping lor..

The remaining pictures of Kieran’s bed. Kylie’s bed is below with the rainbow thingy over it, but the mattress is currently in my room. The study desk fits nicely next to Kylie’s bed but since now the door is not there, Kylie is able disturb him while he does his homework. So we shifted the desk upstairs to the last room temporarily.

Yes the homework nightmare has begun. There are at least 10 pages of homework everyday now and either myself or Apah has to sit with him in order to finish them, otherwise, my dreamer will never be able to complete his homework. After all those years (4 years) in preschool and I am sure all they did was colouring, colouring and more colouring daily, yet my boy’s colouring skills are quite bad…still no direction and out of line! That explains his bad handwriting too!

Then while doing his homework, he was fidgetting as usual and lost his balance and fell off the chair. As a result, he knocked against the edge of the desk and was bleeding a little right at his new bottom new tooth! Apah got very mad but he was crying so bad and I am sure it was very painful. But still, he had to finish his homework and cannot waste too much time crying. Tried coaxing him to stop and continue but he was still you know, holding sobs here and there and the tears occasionally dropped onto his books.

Then suddenly he looked up at me and cried very hard and also told me that the dentist just came to the school earlier that day to check on his teeth…it was like in between sobs and he really looked so distressed till I kinda found it funny lor! Ayo…so bad la this Amah, he was so distressed and I tried so hard not to laugh…

We were doing gardening last Saturday morning and suddenly we heard a loud bang. Apah thought it was like a major accident but I thought how could this happen within the residential roads…

It was an Alfa Romeo which ran over a manhole which was actually protruding out from the road (most of the manholes are like that around my neighbourhood) and it hit the gear box or something. Whatever it is, it was a loud bang and the oil was leaking all over and both his airbags were released. When Apah went over to check on the guy, he was bleeding from his nose and looked really shocked and dazed. Who wouldn’t after an accident like this! Apah made sure he could call for help and was ok then walked back la.

Wah, very dangerous la liddis…next time must drive more carefully and try to avoid the manholes. I remembered a friend was driving a Camry and ran over a pothole and the rim of one of the car tyre bended and had to be replaced! That’s why must slow down and avoid such holes la! During such incidents, the driver may get shocked and the car could have diverted and hit another car leh!

Try reporting to local councils of such potholes and you can vomit blood one…but I used to have an ex-colleague who’s so persistent, she calls the council everyday without fail until the repair is done! But then again…who’s so free like her??
