My girlfriend from Australia sent a UGG Mayfaire that i had wanted to buy for ages now .. and it came as surprised to me.. because I didn’t know she was sending it. I cannot thank her enough for it.. because it was not cheap at all.. and I couldn’t get it over here.. in Yarmouth. For those who don’t know what a UGG is.. they are boots made of sheep skin and absolutely comfy and keeps you warm during winter and during the holiday season. I love it..!! And she doesn’t want me to have her name printed here.. she’s shy wor.. 🙂
Giving In
As you all know .. we have been having a little trouble with chloe wanting to go to school. Even though today was not such a bad morning.. we have been quite worried about it. And like any parent.. we try to her every whim and fancies.. because we didn’t want to stress her anymore than she already is.
But the girl sure knows how to manipulate us.. as I came to realize this evening. She would ask for junk food, from chips to french fries.. and then lollipop or a Simpsons tv show .. even some english saddles for the horse that Santa was gonna bring her this Christmas. Now of course, at that time.. i agreed.. but after this evening… i realized that i shouldn’t be doing this.. because then she knows we are gonna try and bribe her to go to school.
So tonite.. i’ve decided.. that if Chloe cannot cope in school .. after her Christmas break.. i’m gonna pull her out.. and send her to pre-school.. and wait for another year .. before sending her again. Afterall, it is not fair to the poor kid right..?? so if she is not ready.. she is not ready. I’ve already spoken to 2 pre-schools today.. no thanks to PB (for he was put to tasks for more than 2 years for it).. and am ready to move chloe once Christmas is over.
Wednesday Morning @ School
This morning.. we had a little bit of crying.. but she was alright.. after we reached school. At recess time, we went to visit her.. although PB stayed in the car.. for most of the time .. go figure..! Anyways.. i also got to see some of the things.. that Chloe had been telling me about .. with her school friends.. and how one would pull on her jacket.. to not let her slide down the slide. I was there when it happened.. and Chloe looked at me helpless. I guess one of the reasons she didn’t like school that much was the rough play.
To some parents.. it is ok.. because their kids can handle it. But chloe had never learned to play rough with anyone… so i think i must come as a shock for her. And when chloe first told me about it.. I had told Chloe what to say to her friend.. if she did that.. but Chloe didn’t want to say anything to her friend.. and had asked me to talk to her friend’s mother. Once again, I’m gonna have to bring this up to her form teacher today or tomorrow… when i see her.
I Have A Secret !
Many of you must know that I met PB online .. over the internet. We spoke for 6 years online before we met.. and the following months just happened.. and i stayed in Canada.. ever since. Well.. i came to visit first.. went home.. he came to Singapore to visit.. and we went back to Canada together. Yes.. but I have a secret..!
Before we even met.. my computer broke down.. and i wanted to get a new notebook computer because i was traveling a lot. And guess what..?? PB was the one who sent me $1K .. to get my notebook. Some 14 yrs ago, $1K was a lot of money.. and to wire $1K to someone whom he haven’t met.. i must say.. he must have had been in love eh..?? muahahahahh!! yes .. he is a good man..! And it’s his birthday today..!!! yes..! and PB is younger than I by 8 yrs.. he is 36 today. Please join me in wishing him Happy birthday will yer.. 🙂 oh.. go to gatorbyte’s website eh.. don’t leave comment here please.. coz’ he never reads my posts.
Birthday Party For Ruby
Chloe was invited for a birthday party on Saturday .. a day before her own.. and we sent Keegan to go with her, it was at Jungle Jims. But I had forgotten to give Kate an extra flash memory and the camera she had with her ran outta space to store new pictures.. so we ended up having only a few. Poor me .. i was really hoping to get loads of pictures to post up. Didn’t even get the picture of the birthday cake. What a bummer…!! if you want to see some of the pictures.. you can head over to Chloe’s blog.
Somewhat Good Morning
We had a somewhat good morning this morning.. and only had to visit the princess once at school.. at about 10.15am.. to bring her lunch. We didn’t go at lunch.. but she knew that.. we had explained to her the reason. We also had a meeting with her principal, her form teacher, her guardian counselor, her speech therapist, another teacher who had helped during these difficult few weeks.. to brain storm how we can help with Chloe’s anxiety for not wanting to go to school.
We figured it was toilet related.. so all of us.. are trying to do everything we can.. to help her along. One of the things .. the principal had mentioned was to wait another year.. to see if she would be more ready then.. in which we had agreed to wait .. till after Christmas.. and we will go from there.
And tonite .. she never mentioned a word about not wanting to go to school. I think maybe.. we were pushing her too hard at home as well. So we are gonna back off for abit.. and wait it out.
Phone Look Up
I don’t know if it’s a growing older thing or what, but I sometimes cannot help but think of my university friends that I’ve lost contact with. Each time I travel to the United States I’d always take up the phone book and try looking for them but to no avail. For some I still do have their old phone numbers but I can’t seem to locate them in order to keep in touch. By using a phone number lookup which is nationwide and guarantees you more success than any other online site, you will be able to locate a person even if all you have is a cell phone number. Looking for a long lost friend or relative is no longer such a huge task anymore.

Monday Morning After Birthday Party
Sorry.. i had forgotten to transfer the party pictures into my USB key today.. and came to work without it. This morning.. we still had a little bit of trouble.. but thank God.. it only lasted for like 30mins. We had printed out another picture of me .. yours truly.. the pretty mama… and put it in a new photo frame .. that i had bought in the Christian book store… which says.. “I LOVE MY MOMMY”.
We sent her to school.. promising her to see her at recess time at 10.15am.. and when we visited.. she was alright.. she hugged us a few times.. and went back to class. If it stops raining.. i will go for a walk.. and visit her in school as well. I know some parents might think we are being excessive protective *shrug* .. but whatever works for us.. and the kid.. is good for us, we just want her to stop crying so much and hurt her nose, eyes and throat. I’m sure.. every parents have good experiences.. and good advices.. but note that all kids are different .. so we handle it as best as we can.
It Breaks My Heart
It breaks my heart to see that after so many hours .. her eyes still looked so swollen.. from her crying this morning.. and more crying from yesterday.. because she didn’t wanna go to school. We still cannot figure out why.. and i really hope this doesn’t continue.. else i will either have to quit the store..and go to school with her.. or let her stay home for another year. Heartbreaking..! I think if PB leaves me.. for another woman.. it wouldn’t be as heartbreaking as this.
You see lah..!! and the teachers think she is not smart.??? she can make her own song some more.. tune and lyrics. We didn’t even teach her .. to do the song .. and all. Happy as ever ..as if nothing happened earlier this morning.. but i know she wasn’t truly showing how she feels. Like we spend every waking hour with her .. by our side.. besides the going to school time.. so i don’t understand this at all.
