V and her school

I have to sit down soon to make a decision where to put her. SJCK is way tooooo far for me to drive her. Im getting older... or rather lazier.. keke. Anyway I'm thinking of paying for a driver and he can help me do this. So lazy right? damn... anyway its just a wishful thinking.  I have 1/2 yr more to decide....

Nevertheless, school has been awesome to V... She loves it loads and comes home with reports of her friends and teachers, Whether she is learning alot, we didn't know until we were sent her art work! like damn damn nice.. she was so proud showing off to us :) I spent 1 hour sitting down listening to her explain her art pieces to me. So heart warming <3

The school too sent us 100 over photos like OMG,  I am just randomly posting this as its impossible to see which one is her lol.

Look how much she has grown.. love her so much!

Updates!!!

Like seriously today is the only time I'm sitting on the dining table to use the laptop!! It has become so rare for me to blog, write or do anything that is work. Yup sort of lazing around and using the brains more than anything. I took oct and november "off" not wanting to do anything but ended up doing loads. I swear I'm a workaholic and interestingly enjoying it :). Daddy is just as busy, so we have been taking turns flying abouts, dealing with appointments and spending our precious time with V.

November was just birthdays and holidays... DD got me a ipad for me to watch my TVB series *opps, now you know why I'm not blogging so much. It was more for work, but then since I was not working so it was just there to watch my series. :) Did I mention I love my life?? oh then we went to Bali... hot :(
you see I NEVER go for beach resorts, but ever since like recently I was thinking like why not right? do something really different and I may like it... wrong *rolls eyes *HOT.

I like seriously didn't get to buy anything I like. 1st bali's shops don't believe in aircon. The private villa was awesome except for the commando mozzies which was darn! anyway .... beach resorts has official gone back to my NOT TO DO LIST.

My to do list has increased after my month's break, woo hoo. Love it, love my life :)

Tomorrow Im going to bring V to JG chinese holiday program, 830am * wails. I don't know why did I agree to such time slot! like I have to wake up at 7am freaking in the morning *argghhhhhh... anyway  its paid. We are going for 4 days, 5th day is excursion and its swimming and I'm not free as I will be training new consultants, DD T cannot be bothered since V swims almost every other day. Yes so ask me again Y did I sign up this week's holiday program! (was stirred by V's playnest mummy friends, so I do miss them la) Good thing is that its a drop off, so I don't have to run, jump abouts, sing song in chinese *hee heess.  We mummies are going to tea... nice :-)

DD T finished his flying trips for the year, so has me. So its a month's rest before we start again. You know, actually I was thinking of flying to Toyko Disney for V's 3rd Birthday, but after Bali... wa piangs no more holidays in near future. Shag u know, go with her... till May 2012.

Bday cake

Was my birthday yesterday & V was in the foulest mood. God it was so difficult to handle her. She wanted this and insisted on that, false crying many times, Didn't want to walk but carried.... Think u all know what I meant. I actually was hoping that my birthday will end faster :( it was the eclipse day n it makes my girl go all crazy.

But nevertheless, she was awesome in her singing (which was nonstop) , she was like a broken record singing my birthday song :) it's heaven music to my ears to have such blessing. Then of course she insisted in a cake coz she wanted to cut etc. Had to do a detour to get it .. I decided that she should have that experience to design it. Of course it made her day




















Great looking ya?!!! Oh it actually tastes very nice... ;)

Abundance

So they say you should ask the universe for abundance.

I opened my working wallet (ya I have a different one) lo and behold .. It's full ;)

Thats the thing about life, don't harp on the things that bother you, the fact that it doesn't me and you see ....

Potty

I never read much on it, bought a potty but she hates it. So we didn't bother... But now she pees on the adult toilet bowl with the child attachment, pulls the toilet paper, wipes the front and the BACK! She poos straight into the bowl, only if she is keen. All these NOT trained, I just show her and she caught on.

Oh and I'm in no absolute rush in removing the diapers. I was told I'm weird.

Aiyo, after close to 3 years of parenting... I have come to accept the fact. The child will tell when they are ready. Actually in this case, when the parents are ready. :)

Purpose

Have u ever wondered what's your purpose in life? I did ask myself before and got lost in my direction. I have been asking myself this for the last one month and didn't get that answer till today. You know how you life you get caught up in the many competition and comparison till it blinds u? Yeah it got into me for awhile. I hate it all which is why I dreaded what I was doing few months back.

My purpose when I started to do Mary Kay was real simple, I just wanted to make someone's life different. To allow them to change that something that they have been wanting to change. I went into this business coz I saw one of Mary Kay words "it's not just selling cosmetics, you are changing lives" I held on to this and decided to go for that change. The change could be their face- skin to glow, look younger, have firmer skin; I'm a believer of the products and am a living testimony. The change would be their lives - wanting more time with family, having a purpose, more money; whatever they yearn to change. The last one year, I didn't care if I was earning money or not. Money has always been the last thing on my mind, I went around asking people; to try the products or to have this opportunity. I never knew how Mary Kay marketing plan worked, didn't care how they paid me. I just was busy, happy busy.... Loving every moment and absorbing all these blessings from the customers, consultants. I totally loved what I was doing.

Things got difficult for me when my consultants didn't share that same vision with me, some coming to do this for just the money. I got suffocated, I tried ways and means to want to earn the kind of money they seek to have - which to me wasn't my purpose. I just wanted the other person to be happy. The excuses they gave, I took it personal- maybe it was my management skills, relationship skills? Something was not right. I couldn't figure it out... I got great money but I missed my relationship with my customers and consultants I treasure kinship lots, people who knows me knows this.

As my unit grew, I was not able to manage it as the best I can. There was no longer individual time for each of my 50 consultants. I longer knew what happen... At this point, I knew this is it. I spoke to successful directors, sales development people etc finding how I can do better. But at the end I had a burnout.

They last month was just ultimate, I had enough and gave myself a good break. Just slept, ate, did jackshit. I missed the me, that person who I really was. If I wasn't hungry for money, why did I force myself to seek for it just to show that it can be done? Was it competition or....? I may never know..... Today was a wakeup call for me, I went back to why I wanted to do this business. < I wanted to change lives. > It may seem impossible but I really use my heart to do this business. I know the day will come when people see it.

Today starts me going back to basics... Loving myself, loving that one other person out there who is willing to change their lives, their skin, their attitude toward life.

Finally

I finally booked my dental appointment! Like seriously finally.... The last being before I was pregnant... like omfg right! I have obsession with teeth, the 1st thing I see in a person is the smile and teeth and all. But sadly I have a husband who has the worst teeth ever - he hates dentist period. With the coffee, ciggies, coke etc, I nag most about is this.

So finally soon to have clean teeth, can't wait. Coz I always feel like I can conquer the world after that. Was thinking if I should whiten my teeth but it's like way beyond my budget like my teeth is not that yellow to start off and spending that amount seems not worth it. I just checked the board and it's $750... Hmm not that bad ya. Can consider hehe

Oh, you know that day I went to for brunch in the god forsaken riders club or something. Then it poured, had to take the umbrella in the booth, opened it, opened my door and the freaking carpark was flooded :( had to drive out and xxxxxx . What I'm trying to say is that the car smells like that there is a dead corpse. Its been lingering around for the last few days, bought us a huge bottle of febreeze but it's not working well. Its like there is a dead rat in stuck in the aircon vents. Crappy

Now it's my fault u know... N the hb is going on about it :(

Sleeping stuffs

Have u watched ur loved ones sleep? Coz everytime I see the both of them they always are in the same sleeping positions. No wonder she is daddy's gal :)

Oh ya, she has been refusing all her pyjamas and insists on these crappy looking jammies meant for 5 years old that daddy bought from Bangkok. All these gap pj are too tight she says. So now we are hunting for new ones which is rather tough. Think I may have to end up buying from those waterloo shops, purple bears type.

Resting

Sorry for the lack of posting ... I'm having a writer's blog hehe. Just you know, nothing to want to write about coz it's just that there isn't any inspiration or anything. End of oct and nov is just hibernation. Travelling and holidays.... I just don't feel like doing any at all, using the computer or whatever.

DD is in reservist and I'm stuck without Internet n cable which sucks. Router went kuku and cable conked out. Last night was so terrible coz I didn't have anything to do. Today I woke up not wanting to do anything except rotting on the coach. You know there are days just like that.

Oh well, I will just wait for this feeling to be over.

Diva II

That day I picked her up from school and there was this drama about wanting to walk home. I'm fine with walking but that freaking sun was on da roll! I made a decision to chuck her into the car and drove off. So the drama started... The crying ..

Then we parked and Diva wanted to walked around the compound which I allowed. Check out the emo queen's photos

she walked AWAY 

decides to ponder

walker further away

I sort of got bored with her emos and checked her bag. What a beautiful art work

This is more like her art work

serious emo-ting

for like 15 mins already.. 

and walked away... faint

clearly upset

still refused to go home...

We were at this stage for 30 mins... the heat was driving me mad. But anyway, if this is what I have to deal with. To me is a stage of growing up... its just a game of who lasts longer. But life goes on... she is a girl, she is allowed to emo.

Diva

She starts being THE DIVA

Like she is supposed to, so it's just us having to tolerate it. I missed the terrible 2's for she was the one hellavu infant, now it's just "whatever". Miss Diva demands for everything her way and I allow it as it's her showing signs of independence. But I do however do not condone when she forgets the manners or the safety, everything else I can reason with. The other caregivers however cannot stand it, i'm usually the one that doesn't bat the eyelid. I have patience for this sort of things like not wanting to eat or insisting her way.

There is a whole lot of list but I can't keep track, but she is mild. Just an example to share.... Every time she can't fall asleep she blames it on her PJs, there was one night I changed her 3 freaking times before she can sleep. So few nights ago was extreme ... She refused anything!!!









I sneaked her the daddy's shirt when she felt asleep. Woke up next morning to drama-ness and insisted of removing the shirt. Then she was happy and left the room for her breakfast. I mean this is JUST one example.
