Interrupted sleep

"Mummy, I have waken up." Nothing unusual if he did not actually wake up in the
middle of the night. The jet lag had really affected the two little ones. I
tried as hard as possible to get him to sleep but to no avail.

"Try to get some more sleep, it's still very early..." Still half-asleep, I
tried to convinced him to go back to sleep.
"But mummy, I am not sleepy, I want to do my homework, pleaseeee, can I?" He
pleaded with me.
"Good boy, try to go back to sleep, mummy needs to work tomorrow..." Trying to
ignore his whimming and whinning.
One minute later.
"Mummy, I had slept a little bit more already, can I do my homework now? Can I,
Mummy?"
After another 10 minutes, i finally gave up. I woke up and looked at the clock
on the wall. It's 4.30am in the morning. Alamak, still so early.
I let him brush his teeth and made his breakfast for him 'cos he said he was
hungry.
The next moment, I hear voices from another room, and not surprisingly, the
younger one came scurrying out of her room. Following behind her was her grandma,
looking wanning and tired.
"Gou Gou, gou gou." She was so happy to see her gou gou in the living room.
"She heard her Gou Gou's voice," my mum told me that Meimei also woke up in the
middle of the night, trying to get her way out of the room.
This went on for the next 3 days. The jet lag has really disturbed their usual
sleeping routine. Wonder how long they will need to re-adjust to their normal sleeping routine.

I went to Harvard University!

What a great opportunity to visit the Harvard University. Heard that there are many good Universities in Boston.

According to the tour guide, by touching the shoes of Harvard, you will get to study in this prestigious University. Anyway, there are so many people touching his shoes, so does that mean all of them get to study here? Notice how polished the shoe was?



"Obama joins list of seven presidents with Harvard degrees.

When sworn in on Jan. 20, Barack Obama will become the eighth U.S. president to have graduated from Harvard. President-elect Obama is a 1991 graduate of Harvard Law School. He joins current President George W. Bush (M.B.A. ’75) and Presidents John Adams, John Quincy Adams, Rutherford B. Hayes, Theodore Roosevelt, Franklin D. Roosevelt, and John F. Kennedy as Harvard graduates chosen to serve as the nation’s chief executive.

Journalist Robert Windrem notes that Harvard has educated more U.S. presidents than any other university. Yale University has produced five U.S. presidents, with George W. Bush counting for both Harvard and Yale." Adapted from http://news.harvard.edu/gazette/story/2008/11/obama-joins-list-of-seven-presidents-with-harvard-degrees/

It's really awesome and breath taking!

Really love the magnificent sight of the Niagara Falls. Love the splashing of the water on my face. It's really awesome and breath taking. We took a ride on the "Maid of the Mist" to sail near the base of the Horseshoe Falls, America Falls and Bridal Falls to have close encounter with the water falls. It's just so beautiful!

Inconsiderate Neighbour

Sometimes I really wished that I would be more tolerant, then I wouldn't have to feel so indignant and angry.

Thought that speaking to their parents would be able to solve the problem but I was really wrong, really wrong man.

These kids next door were really horrible and inconsiderate. They like to play soccer at the lift lobby which is just a few steps from my doorway. Their ball banged our doors numerously time and nearly hit the people coming out of the lift.

I've talked to these kids so many times but to no avail.

This night, at 10.30pm, again, they were playing the ball. I was really fed up that I went over to talk to their father, asking his father to stop his sons from playing at the lift lobby. I told him that it was dangerous to play there especially the ball might just hit anybody passing by. I thought his father was a reasonable person, but I was wrong!

Guess what was his response.


I was really disappointed, really disappointed and angry. Not only he didn't heed to what I said, he even told his sons to ignore me and continue playing! Imagine that! Such inconsiderate neighbours! So outrageous and rude!

I really regretted confronting him, he really made me so furious!

Just my luck to have such inconsiderate neighbours!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

Truly thankful

It's a blessing to have another new bundle of joy coming into our family. I am really relieved that the test result is positive after so many sleepless nights. Too many things happened during the first quarter of the year. I nearly brokedown and I kept telling myself to be strong. This year was not a rosy year for me when I didn't receive my bonus and increment. A double whammy for me when my gynae told me to go for the Amniotic fluid test as the Down syndrom risk was pretty high, 1:15. I was devastated and I admitted I was also very scared. I get agitated very easily and eyes were often tearful. I tried to control my emotions whenever someone asked me how is everything. I wished I could tell them that I am ok but actually deep inside I am not. I was taken by surprise when my cousin, WanShan revealed to me that she was told by her gynae to go for the amniotic fluid too during her second pregnancy. I was not told to go for the fluid test during my first 2 pregnancy, probably one of the reasons was that I didn't opt for the blood test.

I am really grateful that everything turns out well. My heart really skipped a beat when the clinic called. I was really relieved and happy that I could keep this child. I am also grateful to those who had prayed for me and comforted me in my dumps. I am glad I still have so many friends standing by me. Really thankful from the bottom of my heart.

When daddy is not in town...

Daddy went to KL on business trips. I asked little Aldric whether he missed his daddy or not. I wanted to laugh when he said he didn't miss his daddy but he missed his daddy's iPhone more.

"Can daddy leave his iPhone behind next time?" he asked me in his innocent voice.
