Photobucket

Last week, we told you about winning a trip to Montreal right..? Anyhow.. PB decided that it wouldn’t really worked out for us.. because Chloe is in school right now..and we can’t just take off anytime soon. Plus we do have a business to run as well and there is no one to do the technical stuff.. that we seems to be getting more each day ( i ain’t complaining). So we accepted an alternative prize .. and that was for a cash prize of $1,000. So here it is.. our winning from the boys and girls club .. and we have sherry to thank this for.. for it was a Christmas gift from her. Thank you Sherry..!

The Man Said My Esthetician Is Hot!

Yup..!! the man said my aesthetician was hot..!! We had a customer that was in the other day.. and we were yakking about how he never had any luck with girls. So i had asked him.. what type of gals was his kind, in which he replied.. he really can’t tell. I told him to give me an example.. in which he replied.. she had to be HOT..!! ok..! men here are not so hot.. but yet want HOT girlfriends..!! got meaning or not..??

We had named a few girls in town.. to make comparison… and PB chipped in to say that my aesthetician was hot..!!! Wah Lau..!! i thought the man didn’t have roving eyes.. now we know.. the true color eh..!!! Werewolf on the prowl..!! muahahahaha!!! What would you do.. if your spouse tells you .. your aesthetician was hot..?? smack him on his head..?? or kick him outta bed..and ask him to sleep in the bath tub..?? Pray tell..!! gotta give him some kinda punishment right..??

I Need A Botox!

I kid you not! Every morning when we are sending our kid to school and I flip open the car’s mirror and put on my lipstick, I cannot help but think how saggy my face skin looks compared to when i was in my 20s. I still don’t look old but you can definitely see that sagging facial skin and there itself you can’t lie anymore. Every time, I would use my fingers to lift both sides of my face to see how it looked when I was 15 yrs younger, and of course feel a wee bit regretful about the droopy looking skin on my face.

I’m considering botox because it is non-surgical, although it is not permanent, it helps decrease the signs of aging and gives a little lift each time, helping it last a little longer. But for those looking for a more permanent solution, Eastcoast residents can look for Dr Porter from Chevy Chase to help them refresh, rejuvenate and to renew their confidence. If you need a nose job, look for rhinoplasty Washington DC all the information you need is there.

Basement Update

We are really forward to getting our basement all renovated and insulated before winter this year. There is just so much potential for our basement .. since it is the size of our house itself. So whenever we go shopping like we did today.. we look out for stuff that we could use in our basement when it is completed. At wicker emporium there were some very lovely candle stand at $16.99 that i was tempted to by and we are looking out for a TV wall mount for a tv for the brat in her corner at the basement.

5 Days Progress

Photobucket Image Hosting

5 days into school.. and she is able to write her own name. Well.. not like she doesn’t know.. but she never got her alphabets correct either. And we.. we never pushed her, slacker parents…? a little. But tonite.. she took out the pen and started writing.. without any prompting. Clearly, she is learning alot, i think the school is doing a great job.. so is her teacher. The brat sings in french.. and love her hopping game… gone to the library and borrowed a book already. Had gym class..and loved gym.. ! had music class.. and love her mustache music teacher. I’m just glad we are not having such a hard time.. with her going to school nor.. else it would be really heartbreaking for me. For a social butterfly like the brat, she sure cannot remember alot of names of her friends.

I Can Vote !!!

I’ve been in Yarmouth for almost 8 yrs now but like any expatriate, you don’t really feel that here is home (if you know what i mean). 8 yrs to-date.. i’ve yet to really feel like this is home. Home is Singapore.. the other side of the world. Truth be told, had i known that winter was this hard.. and medical care suxs.. plus doing business here can be not so fun… dealing with employees and customers, i wouldn’t have come.

I don’t regret coming else i wouldn’t have had my daughter because i really didn’t want to have a kid with anyone else. I don’t regret coming because the man is very accommodating and the in-laws, they are very indulging. They pretty much let me do what i want… and at times.. go crazy..! hence the “crazy chinese woman’s” name came about.

This year in October, there are several elections going on in this town, the Town councils and the Mayor. This year.. i’m also able to vote.. because i’m eligible to. Do i feel like i belong here..?? Mmmmm.. not really .. but it’s getting there. And yes..! this year i’m gonna vote.. come hail storm or flood or whatever.. i’m gonna vote. Why..?? because this town needs a change, it cannot get any worst. I can VOTE..!! and i’m gonna exercise it..!! woohoo..!!! The crazy chinese woman is OFFICIAL now..!

What Do You Do When Your Kid Don’t Wanna Go to School..??

So yes..! here we are.. discussing the same issue. So what do you do when you kid say she/he doesn’t wanna go to school..?? and crying a wee bit.. and also hugging you .. and telling you she only wants to go to school.. after so many days.. with her fingers. And since 10 fingers wasn’t enough to show how many days..she had to show it a few times.

First thing first.. DON’T BE A B.I.T.C.H to your spouse .. like i was…!! i screamed at PB .. for being so nonchalant about it.. and so relaxed..!!!!! that drove me NUTS..! i hear yer saying .. “we would too” .. muahhaha!! “high five ladies..! ” Now this was on Saturday nite. Come Sunday afternoon.. PB already managed to convince the brat to go to school.. by explaining things to her.. and playing with her for 2 hrs.

So don’t panic.. it will work out.. and i read from the experts.. that we SHOULDN’T (SORRY TYPO NOT SHOULD HOR!) say stuff like “the cops will come get you” or “mama will go to jail” and do not bribe them either. Having said that.. rewarding them..is another thing eh. Well.. that was my 2 cents worth.. for parenting 101 – for first time mother with children going to school.

I Don’t Wanna Go To School..!!!

Sorry, I haven’t updated on Chloe’s schooling stuff, that is because we had to deal with her not wanting to go to school no more .. after coming home on Friday. On Saturday morning onwards.. she kept saying she didn’t wanna go to school. We threatened .. we cajoled.. we did everything.. or rather I did everything. Yes.. finally even looking up on the internet to see what to do .. that was after midnite on Saturday.. Sunday morning.. plus screaming at PB too.

Yes.. yes..!! i’m an ultra B.I.T.C.H. But mummies around the world will understand.. sympathize and know exactly where i’m coming from. .and where i’m going from here. I panicked..!! of course..!! why wouldn’t I . .afterall, i am but a woman right..?? The man was the calm one.. and of course .. he got the brat to say she wanted to go to school on Sunday.. thus making me a liar..!!

I even went to the extend of emailing her teacher.. to give her a heads up..on what she was to expect on Monday morning. Picture a screaming kid.. and not letting go of her mama .. and puke and snort.. and fiery red face. You get the picture eh. But her teacher was really awesome..!! she replied.. albeit late.. but still she was there Monday morning.. to hold Chloe’s hand and brought her into class. Yes..! all went well.. “phew” ..! and chicken shit neighbour selling shit on Facebook.. but that’s for another story . and another day.

The Tim’s Girls

I have a cup of coffee everyday .. and sometimes i send keegan to get it for me.. but of late. .i needed the walk. so i get them myself. Usually i get a muffin along.. but since my operation.. and i lost my huge tummy.. i figured i shouldn’t be eating too much.. else i might need some weight loss pills. When the gals at our regular coffee shop asked if i needed something else besides coffee.. i had jokingly said.. “nah.. else the man would say i’m fat” .. and they looked absolutely shocked. Muahahah!! they were too kind.. because in Asia.. i would be considered “fat”.
