And My Journey Thru' Breast Cancer
This masterpiece of Grammie was taken by none other than my almost 4yrs old brat.. and i’ll have to say.. this is one of the best pictures of Grammie ever taken. Firstly, Grammie doesn’t like her photo taken.. so this is pretty exclusive to all the bloggers who visits my blog. Quick.. quick take a look.. for Grammie might make me take it down. muahahhaha!!
When one tell people that you are going to Australia for a vacation, people just naturally assumes that you are going to Sydney and Gold Coast is flooded with tourist. Hotels in Gold Coast are sure having one of the highest occupancy, for every asian that I know, flock over there for all their sports activities. Afterall, Gold Coast is not call Surfer’s Paradise for nothing.
There are many hotels in surfers paradise, and depending on what you want and the locality, you can definitely find one that is affordable and comfortable. Don’t forget to drop by Perth since they are really close by. Perth hotels are just as nice and you will find loads of things to do in Western Australia.
Uncle Jerry has always been the happy uncle we all know. We donch see them very often.. but when we do.. we are always happy.. coz’ he is fun. See how happy the brat was playing with her Granduncle. And nope.. in “ang moh” town.. we donch call him Granduncle.. just Uncle Jerry.. 🙂 The hierarchy of address the elderly is totally different.. from what we are used to back home, even PB calls Aunt Helena.. just “helena” most times. But i wouldn’t want my brat to grow up .. ” mo tai mo sai” .. so i’m instilling the aunties and uncles.. so she knows.
In my earlier post, I told you I was worried.. that the brat may not know how to socialize .. but as you can see here.. she is perfectly comfortable.. with adults.. and in her own territory. In a way, Chloe is very much like me.. because it was the same way when i was growing up. I never went for parties.. or mix around ..with other kids .. because my mum was really busy with work.. and had no time.. to take care of us socially.
Can anyone guess how old is Aunt Guyt (pronounced as Gert)..?? the lady in pink..?? next to Aunt Helena..?? I bet you can never guess.. muahahaha!! PB was so amazed.. how young Aunt Guyt looked.. for her age.. and said to me.. while we were going home.. from my in-law’s .. that he hope we hold this well at the age of Aunt Guyt’s. Make a guess .. everyone..! Lets see how sharp you are. I have already given you alot of clues.
Surely you’ve heard of Fannie May..?? Even I have.. for someone who isn’t a great fan of chocolates of any kind. But the man and the brat is.. and especially those dark chocolate candy. With Christmas just round the corner, you know who is going to be buying alot to give as gifts.. and also to please the man.
Well, now you can buy these famous Fannie May chocolates from their online store… and of course not forgetting the rest of the gourmet chocolates they have to offer. Create your very own assortment of chocolate or pick from their many selections that they already have. Great for holiday gifts for family and friends and not forgetting.. the important business associates.
After a few nites.. with not enough sleep because the brat keeps peeing in her bed.. we decided.. to put on her diapers on her again last nite. You see .. we will check her .. at about 3am.. when we are about to go to bed.. and if she is wet.. we have to change her.. wipe her down.. and clean up her bed.. and then pacify her.. and make her go back to bed.. so by the time.. we sleep it is like 5am sometimes.. or sometimes later.
And then she wakes us all up .. at 8.30am.. or 9.30am.. and wants me to wake up with her.. so yes.. we are so tired. So last nite.. we surrendered..! as much as we donch want to.. but we want to get a good nite sleep.
Thank God.. she slept from midnite.. to 10.50am.
This weekend, we are planning on a city trip and besides, eating and shopping.. we have 2 stops to make.. one at the hospital to visit a good friend.. and another to a drug rehabilitation to visit an extended family, who have a addiction problem. Sometimes.. i wonder why the town would spend so much money on building another office.. instead of taking care.. of the resident’s problem that we see arising every day. Busting the traffickers.. and users.. are just not enough.. one has got to nip the bud at its tip and provide real help.
Happy Thanksgiving .. Everyone..! Today is the day .. to give thanks..! May all your day … be surrounded with laughter.. happiness.. family, health and good food..!
As a mother, we want our kids to be an all-rounder, but because Chloe doesn’t attend childcare or preschool.. she goes to work with us, I am always worried that she wouldn’t know how to socialize with other kids. Do you worry too..?? When i was younger.. we stayed with our grandparents.. but we did go to kindergarten for 2 yrs.. where we learn to read and write.. and dance. Can you remember that..??
