Weekday Activity -felt game



Today we started out felt game. Missy is quite fascinated by this new game.She imitates me to stick the felt onto the background. Some new game to add into her daily activity.

After the felt game, we had our swimming session again cos super hot day.

AFter shichida, we have done some daily activities which im still trying to be more organised. we done some photo memory games, Intuition game and energy ball. HAve yet to start the flash card. got to buy this weekend to get the ball rolling. No more procrastination !!!

Will start her 65 days dot programmes too once i got the materials.

Being parents nowadays simply challenging ! but im interested to see the result. 0-3 years is just input input input. shall see and hope to see the result after that !

Shichida

We have been in shichida for 3 weeks now. Missy likes to be in the class cos she gets to mix with other kids her age.

but her concentration needs to be improved. too inquisitive and active that she simply cant ignore anything she sees, and want to interfere.. i say she is "busybody"..

anyway. she is doing ok in the class, she moves to the music.. she never even cried once in the class, she does her homework.

so, since she is adapting well.. it's my turn to work hard to do the home practise with her. shichida method is all about chil-parent bodning learning. i've been busy getting samples from forum and printed loads of them.. now got to organise them and out them into flash card.

will do ESP (extra sensory Perception) at homw with missy. Done some colour matching with her for a week now, she is able to match some, sometimes purposely put wrongly. and we have been playing some collage..

it's good to let missy expose to these activities that stimulate her right brain more. cos 0-3 years is the time their brain learn/pick up subconsciously, aka right brain learning.

Happy learning !

Maid -less

We have sent our maid back to her hometown for coming to 2 weeks now. Why we sent her back ?

1. she cant even do her housework well. never benn able to follow instructions and keep to it for more than 2 weeks. you tell her off.. she will abide for the most 2 weeks, after that she will do her own style again.

2. she seems not able to clean things. many things after washing, it's still dirty. when ask if she wash? she said yes. when show her the stain still there.. she just keep quiet.. too many occassions that i simply fed up with her

3. she never have any initiative to learn or improve her skill or work.

well.. im a fussy employer.. i don;t think i need a "stranger" in my home that cannot contribute. i feed her, paid her.. but she remain status quo for 15 months..

so sending her off is a peace of mind, so that i don;t have to nag nag nag at her.. she is not tired of hearing but im tired of nagging. cos what im telling her will be garbage in garbage out..

even i tell her, if you want to stay in spore and earn money back, make sure u work hard, cos everybody in spore works hard. she just turn her deaf ears..


so enough is enough.. and i really enjoy my privacy without maid at home. of course, i got to do some mopping. but hey with 3M products. im doing better than the maid. my floor is so sqeeky clean.. when maid is around, my floor always feel sandy.. wonder how she mop floor, some more ask her mop 2 times..super lazy maid

and best of all, she snores louder than anyone of us in the home..

so..maid less life is good. i get to cook daily. been doing some good cooking recently.. tried out some new dish. not bad at all.

Missy's outing

Been lazy to write in blog.. seems like facebook is easier.. cos photos say it all.. haa.. but i still think with words, it explain more and few years down the road i can still recall what happen and how much fun we had.. etc..

Last week we finally went to Marina Barrage , a place SAHM always bring their kiddos to. So we decided to pay a visit to this "wonderful" invention and new outing..

I guess all Singaporean will feel proud of Marina Barrage, tt's how i felt from my DH & his family..i just feel wow.. nice place for kiddo to run about and for odler kids to learn abt the invention of the reservoir and how they use so much technology to complete it. SImple great effort and amazing !




We will visit again !

This week Workout

Tues i went swimming,good weather , but lazy.. so i ended up swimming only 12 laps.. not happy with it. so thursday went again i swim 16 laps.. lazy bugs kick in again.. i stop early.. altogether i swim 28 laps this week. a record but not good enough i should swim 28 laps at one go ? but thursday swimming really exhausted. wonder why maybe over work out ? cant be what..

Anyway, today yoga's session was good. we are now doing each posture and holding on to the posture longer which is good cos that means we are more stable i really think my this instructor is good.

Happy working out !

Marriage -Rules for Disagreements

LGG sent me these which i find it useful and should try to abide to these so-called rules.

1. No Criticism

2. No name-calling or labeling

3. Stick to the subject
- Don't raise other issues to prove a point

4. Avoid absolutes like "you always", "you never" or "every time"

5. Agree to disagree
- Differences are not an obstacle to being intimate, but how you handle the differences can be.

6. Remember to love
- The person you are having conflicts with is not your enemy. He/she is the person whom you love and chose to marry.

7. Know when to stop
- When all you want to do is hurt your partner, or when one or both of you are out of control, it is time to stop the argument. Arrange for another time to resolve the issue.

8. When you find yourselves stuck in repetitive negative cycles of interactions, it is better to seek professional help
- Don't wait till the problem gets too big to handle.

9. Settle any argument before going to bed
- If it is impossible to do so, schedule another time and place to resolve the issue.

One of the hallmarks of a successful relationship is the ability to resolve conflicts effectively and in a way that is satisfactory to both partners. Many couples report that working successfully together in resolving conflicts brings them closer and create warm loving feelings. Try to practice all the steps and rules mentioned, and let conflicts bring the two of you closer, not further apart.

Being a girlfriend is more relax than being wife and mother ar.. so much things need to learn.. *head os getting bigger* but look at the bright side, unlikely i will get "Lao Ren chi dai zhen" aka Alzheimer .. kekeke

My FirstSkool

wah, today mum told me a BIG news. there is going to be a childcare below my block ! what ?? a childcare just below our block ?? no wonder i noticed they cover up some open space. we tot renovation again.

well. somehow, it's a mixed feeling. i welcome it cos it'll be so convenient. i don't welcome it cos it means noisy la ? with parents picking up their kids and all.. lucky thing we stay high up pity those lower floor residence.

some more we stay in EA apartment. isn't it they should give some priority as in peaceful neighbourhood ? so jialat lor..

Anyway, i've emailed to check up the registration for missy. hee.. funny hor, your pre-school just downstairs.. haaa

Splash @ Home

It's been awhile since we had our last pool fun at home. weather is rather hot recently, so decided to let missy have some pool fun at home.

She fit nicely into her swim suit now, no need to fold up the straps :) how my missy has grown.



She enjoys it so much and refuse to come up even.

After our splash fun in the pool. we have some arts session. i gave misy my old lipsstick , channel brand some more . but long fogotten lipstick. so let missy scribble and just one time,.the lipstick all finish up.

I guess i should go and dig out more lipstick ? we never able to finsih a lipstick anyway.



Fun weekends begins.

Our ROM Anniversary

I was telling DH (peopls is uding DH aka Dear Husband in forum) this morning that we are "officially" married for the third year today.

How time flies..and our DD (DD aka Dear daughter) is already 18th month old.

No celebration as weekend we take over DD from mum. it's not that convenient to bring a young toddler to restaurant. Cos you dun expect to dine in peace. So i rather stay home.

So, you can see the trend now. we only have one little one.. already we skip so many anniversary celebrations. Sacrifices ?

But, it's all worth it to just see a smile from my little missy :)

LGG sent this sweet note to me:



I take away our names , of course :) Thanks DH.
