"It Takes A Village"

There is a saying that it takes a village to raise a child. Showing off photos of Nyaong and Nyama feeding the little one. 

Summoners War: Savannah

Finally pulled a OP unit! The wind beastrider Savannah. So hyped that I runed her up immediately.

Hopefully this unit gives me a different dimension to my arena offense. And it may even allow me to finally take my first extended foray into RTA, maybe.

First Day Back In Office In A Year

First time back in the office in a year. I had armed myself with packs of wet wipes and tissue to cleanup but there was no layer of dust as I thought. Amazingly it was like I had left it the day before. I guess keeping the room locked the whole time helped. Plus the room's pretty dry so no moisture to stink up the air in the room.

Forgot to take a photo to showcase the condition but oh well I just wanted to log a post to commemorate this event. Hopefully we'll see the end of the covid pandemic soon and everything goes back to normal!

Hillview Trip - Apr 2021

A lazy trip to Hillview. The kids had fun as always. It's been a month since the last visit due to 阳阳's month of horrible sickness. This time we were very cautious not to let the kids share food with the same bowl and spoon. No more taking chances.

A "Miserable" Night For Meimei

Meimei sent me a rundown of her tiring night with 阳阳. I get to laugh at it but I'm sure Meimei is totally drain from it.

4am

阳阳 : milk milk

Meimei: wet wet? Change diaper first then milk? 

阳阳: no

Meimei: (before offering his milk I check bed) wet wet already change first

阳阳: noooooooo!!!!!

Meimei: then you don’t ask me to change after milk

阳阳: ok

5am (haven’t sleep, his whole bed toss until no dry spot liao basically)

Meimei: you sure you don’t want to change?

阳阳: no need

Meimei: fine 

阳阳: here you take my pillow 

Meimei: why

阳阳: so it’s not wet

5.30am

Meimei: I change for you then you sleep on my bed. Not wet

阳阳: grinning 

Meimei: come here stand up take off pants

阳阳: no need stand up also can (but he stood up anyway heng ah I’m too tired to continue this liao)

萱萱 starts to shift and whine/cry sound in her sleep

Meimei: ssh quiet (to 阳阳)

阳阳: see? You make jiejie wake up already 

Meimei: glaring at him with deadly-but-heart-shaped eyes you need to keep quiet 

Now he is on my bed. I’m not sleeping because jiejie knee is 1 inch away from his head. She refuse to be moved and semi-cried so I don’t want to move her anymore.

Maybe go study work in a while

End of my miserable story. For now. Signing off at 6am

A Jelly Treat

Just another excuse to post cute pics of the two kiddos hahaha. Meimei is spoiling them again, this time with expensive jelly sugar sticks. They look so cute to eat haha.

Random Kiddo Talk & Pic Mar 2021

Meimei: Don’t look at the light (of the atomiser) it’s not good for your eyes.

阳阳: Then I look at dark dark?

Meimei: You can close your eyes.

阳阳: Can I look at mama? 

Meimei: 😍

阳阳: I play with my firetruck first.

Meimei: Then I play with my handphone first.

阳阳: but phone is not toy mama..

阳阳: You are so pretty mummy 

Meimei: Waaaa 😍😍😍😍😍 really?

阳阳: Yaaa last time you tell me you are so pretty right 

Meimei:  Que "vomit blood" emote

A Month Of Illness

This has been a horrible month for 阳阳 where he was constantly sick with fever, cough and running nose. And as you can imagine it's been even more tiring for Meimei who practically didn't get sleep the whole month. She would wake up every hour to check on his temperature and couldn't get any sleep.

It's was so taxing that Meimei has phobia and implored that we do not bring him out. I suggested we go out when he got better in the past week and her immediate answer was to question if I want him to fall sick again.

Sign ... hopefully this is the last of the endless illness. 

Boy And Toys

阳阳 has an obsession with vehicles. His favourite is the fire truck and has many many variations of them. We never coax or induce him to like cars. It came naturally to him, as though his DNA knew boys should like cars. Well I'm not complaining, I cannot imagine the headache we would have if he was playing with dolls and makeup.

Hair Cut & Shopping

Another 萱萱 me day with Meimei. She loves the undivided attention as always. Today she was given a free rein to pick out a few items from Diaso. Isn't she adorable in her outfit? Hehehe

萱萱's First Tooth Drop

She was totally unfazed by the shaky tooth and happily showed it to anyone brave enough to stare at a wiggly tooth move around in her mouth. Of course I'm not one to stomach such icky and scary thing so I would refuse and turn my face away. This somehow fuelled her glee and constant insistence that I look at her tooth.

It came out during breakfast when she was biting in her cereal. Good thing she didn't shallow the tooth. She proudly parade her toothless gums after breakfast.

Finally A Double Door Fridge

This is a matter of circumstance rather than an active attempt to change the fridge. Although we expanded the kitchen base to fit a 2 door fridge last August, we continued to use our existing fridge since it still works ... till it started 'peeing' yesterday. The ice cream in the fridge totally melt so when I opened the top door and it fell and splatter over the floor. Thankfully we immediately went to purchase a fridge and paid for next day delivery. There was water again this morning.

Meimei was breathing a sign of relief when we discover the water this morning. We had been holding out by cleaning the ice off the fans regularly over the last year. We made the critical decision to buy one yesterday and thus saved ourselves the frustration of thawing meats and spoiling food.

I like the new setup and the spacious shelves in the 2 door. The height between the trays are taller and easier to see what is being stashed inside. We'll see how long this fridge last before problem starts to come. Our luck with the fridge has been abysmal.

萱萱 Is 6!

Woot! Girlgirl is 6 and oh so much a teenager already :-P

This is the last time we will be celebrating birthdays in school and we made sure 萱萱 knows too. And so Meimei 'broke the bank' and bought her a nice 2 tier cake for school that looks very very fancy.

Next year is primary 1 for OO and everything will be different. Gosh ... they grow up so fast. Soon enough they would be off to college *gasp~!!

For home we went for a medley of cakes which was really fun. I like how we could have different flavours of cakes.

A Proper Standing Table

Meimei has been working on a standing table from Ergoworks since late last year. There was a government scheme which reimburse employee for equipment such as tables and chairs. This was to promote companies and their employees to adopt work-from-home. My company didn't explored this scheme so I had to go with the make-shift option.

Yesterday I got mine as a gift from Meimei. I've been meaning to get one after seeing how well it worked for Meimei. Thanks deardear!

Fixing The Bathroom

Ciseerns finally got hold of a tiler to come fix the bathroom. I can imagine how bad it can be to find workers with the borders still closed with Malaysia.

He had to carefully take out the existing tiles and redo the tiling. We were lucky that the tiles were still available at Hafary. Dave helped to buy a box for the repairs.

They didn't charge us for the repairs even though the renovation has long past its warranty period. Pretty happy with the customer service.
