Santa Came Visiting

So did Santa come visiting you at home? and bring you lots of toys and goodies? Chloe said to me yesterday evening that Santa saved her by bringing her the lil’ rinser – a plastic cap thingie that you put on the kids head – to keep the water outta the kid’s faces – hahha! that was too funny! but yes! Santa found our home yesterday and made some people really happy. We had bought some
usb drives to give out to our customers this Christmas – so whenever they use the USB drive – they will think of us – pretty neat eh? I think it’s the most useful corporate gift for just about anyone who uses the computer – and since we do own a computer store – it’s only right to give a personalized USB drives to our customers. PB said he might even get this to resell at our store – but also have our store’s name printed on it.

More Me & Chloe Time

Every year during this time – I would be in a frenzy to get out all the gifts if not before Christmas – it would be around now – and even if I am late – I would still get the presents out – and then I would feel like I’ve done right by the rest of the world. But this year – after what happened to PB’s nephew Nick, I literally stopped and thought about what I should honestly do for myself and Chloe. All these years – I’ve been so involved in so many things around me – that I’ve forgotten what is most important – Chloe. Isn’t it the most important to put Chloe and PB first? making money is important and keeping friends and relative happy are also important – but ultimately, the most important people in my life is Chloe and PB right?

So if I haven’t been online or on FB or slow with the movies – in the next few months or year – please know that I have a commitment to my family first – to Chloe and PB first. I’m grateful to so many people who have given me space – and given me time – to do the right thing by Chloe especially. I have taken time to take care of myself first this year after i started on my anxiety pills. So for the new year – I’m going to slow down on my online stuff – and concentrate of nurturing chloe and my health – and I trust my friends will understand.

Gifts From Overseas For Chloe’s Birthday

Friends and family from away – in United States as well as Asia and some in UK had been very kind to Chloe – like forever. Even though I said – no gifts this year – they still sent a few. I am grateful – and I appreciate it – especially when one aunt went ahead to buy gold  for Chloe even though I said – I can never repay her kindness. We loved the silver coins – not only are their a rare item – they are sort of an investment for Chloe – but really they are so kind. Today we received another package for Chloe – and Chloe asked me – if they were silver coins again? This package came all the way from Australia – but nope – they are not silver coins – but definitely something for Chloe’s birthday/Christmas and also a package for me. We haven’t opened it yet – they are now sitting under our Christmas tree because we told Chloe they were for Christmas – after all, she already had so many birthday presents. Can you guess what we received today?

Happy 7th Birthday, Princess!

Dear Chloe,

You turned 7 today and boy! have you grown! it had been 7 wonderful years for mummy because you’ve grown to be such a beautiful, smart and adorable child. You seems to get taller everyday and even though you refused to eat a lot of things – you are pretty healthy except for the cold that never want to go away it seems.

You are still scared of a lot of things and is a pretty whiny little girl – who loves lots of attention – especially when there are customers at the store. Despite the fact, that you are a pretty good kid – who helps most times when asked – you loved to misbehave in front of our customers in the store. But you never misbehave when you are out of the store – or when shopping. You never cry or fuss when we go shopping – and insist on buying things – you are very good when it comes to eating junk – still asking first before eating – and usually only eat very little junk.

You did very well in school this year and you still love Hannah Montana a lot. You recognized a lot of words now and able to do simple reading on your own. And you are a lot more independent too this year. Unfortunately, you are still quite a sore loser and haven’t learned that it is ok to not be a winner all the time. This year – I’ve also noticed that you are bonding well with your grandparents and even spend time with them on your own, thus we are able to have a wee bit of free time to work on our own things.

But overall, you are a pretty good girl who loves all pretty things in pink. You are pretty sensible – but at times can be cranky. 7 yrs seems like a long time for mummy but yet so short – I know that we are trying our best to be the best parents to you. You asked me what you should be when you grow up and my reply to you was – you can be anything you want – as long as you are honest and integrity. I hope to bring you up to be one – my dear princess. You bring so much joy to mummy and I love you very much and I know you will be a wonderful person when you grow up. I wish for you happiest always, good health, lots of friends and lots of laughter. Happy 7th birthday and many more to come – Princess! you are the love of our life.

Love,
Mummy

A Magician For Chloe’s 7th Birthday

We brought in a magician from New Minas – Tim Valillee for Chloe’s birthday – courtesy of her “Kai Mah” Lina from Singapore. Since Chloe already celebrated her birthday at the movies – we decided to extend the goodwill to her school friends’ instead. Her teacher suggested doing for the lower primary and after a chat – thru’ email with Tim Valillee – he agreed to come down today – for a reasonable price.

Chloe had such a great time – and so did the kids at her school – that I honestly felt that the money spent – was definitely worth every penny. Tim Valillee did such a great job with the kids – that the school is going to bring him back for another occasion.

First SnowMan In 2010

We had some snow for this year – and there was enough left this morning – to let Chloe make a small snowman. She couldn’t wait to get into her snow pants and go out and play.

See her snowman? it’s small – but she did like it so much.

Birthday @ The Movies

This year – we picked to go to the movies with Chloe for her birthday. She invited 11 friends from school and from the store. 9 turned up and 2 with their parents – to give us a hand with the kids. Chloe’s grandparents came too – but didn’t stay for the movie. We wanted to try something different.

The movie we saw was Tangled – it was a great movie – but going to the movies with so many kids – without their parents can be quite tedious. So for now – we won’t go to the movies till she is a lot older with older friends. My princess will be 7 years old soon – time surely flew for us.

Sending Christmas Presents Home

For those who are away home – I’m sure you’ve already mailed out all the Christmas presents that you want to send home. If not – you better hurry – I don’t think you have very much time left. I had an easy time getting presents for my family back home – one of my brothers – love wrestling, and wrestlers – anything to do with wrestling – he is into big time. So I bought him some wresting t-shirts, wrestling tapes and wrestling caps and his favorite wrestler figurine. His was the easiest to get to be honest – don’t you just love the internet! On the same note – I’ve bought stuff online for Christmas – it makes life so much easier for me – what about you ? how did you make out with your Christmas shopping?

School Christmas Concert 2010

Chloe had her school concert a few days ago – if you are wondering why the faces are blocked out – it is because during the concert – we were reminded once again to be responsible netizen – and not put up pictures of other people’s kid – in case of “pedophiles”? So anyhow – while other parents would probably already have my kid’s picture on facebook – I’ve decided to block the other kids face – in case some parents don’t like it. This way – I don’t have to worry who sees this picture online and complain to the principal – after all, I have no time and energy to deal with anymore than necessary.

The concert went well – but Chloe didn’t sing as loud as she did – when she was home in the bath-tub, I asked her why – when she got home – she said she was shy *roll eyes*. We all know “shy” is not in her vocabulary ! Anyhow, this morning – we saw our local cop going into the school when we were dropping Chloe off – and he said – chloe was such a cutie! hahahha!! yes! a naughty cutie.
