Finally, We GOT Curtains

After moving into our own home for almost 3.5yrs, we finally got our curtains up in our bedroom like last week. We had bought the curtain the curtains last year at Wicker’s Emporium .. in December.. and only got around to bringing it to the tailor to have it hemmed up .. like 2 weeks ago. You see what procrastinators we are right..?? Yes.. December .. and only in March.. we got our curtains up. So if you want anything done by the man.. you know .. you cannot expect anything immediately ya. The JOYs of running your own businesses.

What More Can You Asked For..??

Sometimes, I think i expect too much. Why .. you asked..?? The man mops .. do laundry.. fold laundry.. look after the brat.. bathe her.. and brush her teeth.. and feed her.. breakfast.. and sometimes lunch.. and scrub the toilet bowl.. when i asked him to.. and wash the tub everyday for the brat.. before she takes a bath. And do dishes.. when i asked him to. Yet sometimes.. i still “mang jang” .. when i am cooking..and he is playing his xbox 360. I think maybe i too much lah..! What do you think..??

The Man Eats Afterall

Photobucket

I usually have to scream at PB .. to eat his meals.. but recently instead of just my walnut and raisin bread.. i switched and bought croissants instead .. and the man does like this.. and eat this up for breakfast.. and sometimes.. as dinner. So he does eat afterall.. and the decision to change bread is a good one.

Heartwarming

I’ve always worried.. that should anything happened to me.. because of my poor health, what is gonna happen to the brat. But yesterday.. in the evening.. when the brat was stomping her feet. .and demanding something from me, her Papa came out from the computer room.. and discipline her on the spot.

While all this took time to soak in.. i am also aware.. that this would mean the brat of mine.. is never gonna grow up to be a “real” brat .. like some kids we see in our store. For Papa will set her straight.. and not let her go astray. Does your hubby step in when the kid is throwing tantrums..?? or leave it to you ..??

A Good Drive

We had a really good ride up to the city.. the roads were good .. and the sun was out. Uneventful.. but poor PB was really tired.. because the brat refuses to sleep the whole nite again.. but instead woke up a few times.. the nite before. She was ok.. overall during the ride.. but was quite loud and noisy at times. But we arrived safely .. and the brat is just thrilled to be in the hotel.

What Do You Want..?

PB wished me “Happy V’s Day” at midnite.. and asked .. what do i want for V’s Day..?? I told me.. a bowl of laksa .. or mee siam would be very nice…hhahaha!! not diamonds.. not gold.. not white gold.. or even pearls.. but food from home.

Yes.. i missed home.. and for those who are home with their loved ones.. cherish them.. and eat lots of food… that i can’t. For those away.. from home.. “welcome to my club” .. we should have a “expat wives” org .. eh..? Or “expat wives droolings” org. ? where every woman out there.. who misses home can come together.. and reminisce the good ole days and the good ole food.

You Trained Me Such

Eating with PB around is a no no..! well… that is if i wanna enjoy my food. Why leh..?? you asked. Well.. if i eat.. when PB is around.. quite the “kek sim” .. because he would give you that exasperated look.. because he doesn’t like ppl who eats loudly or chew with their mouth open.. or talk.. when you eat. And so .. whenever i slurp my noodles.. he would be running outta the room like a bullet train. If he didn’t have any shoes.. he would wear a clog .. kinda manner.. well.. you get the drift right.

So if i eat. .and he is in the room.. either i would wait for him to leave.. or i eat in the tv room.. if he doesn’t wanna eat. So just the other day.. i was waiting for him to leave the room before starting on my noodles.. and he said… “oh .. you can eat” .. and i said.. “nope.. ! i can’t..! ” and before he left the room.. i told him. “you trained me such”. Afterall, how to enjoy one’s food.. when the other half looked like you just murdered his dog or something to that effect… right..??

You see food to PB is just food.. and nothing more. But food to me.. is an kinda enjoyment… so very hard to entice him.. with food.. or introduce new ones to him. But i’m sure you all know… if you had been reading my blog for years now. Yup..! when i come home.. i’ll make sure i do my food hunts without the man… but with all my makan-kakis..! so anyone up to it..??

Another Horrid Nite for PB

Yes.. the brat didn’t let PB sleep the whole nite. Firstly, sleeping only at 1am.. and then waking up at 7.20am.. and refuses to let PB go back to bed.. nor sleep on the floor with her. She was crying her eyes out..and wanted to wake me up. So poor PB .. only got a few hours of sleep.. and yet gotta do so much laundry for me.. the next morning. Bummer.. to be PB.. eh..???

So ladies, who wakes up with your kid.. when they start bawling in the middle of the nite..?? Is the chinese man you married less likely to wake up..?? because you are the mom..?? come .. share, share.
