Singer in the making

Must be too much TV watching... he learned this on his own. "Singing" using a bowling pin.

~~Rantings

So much events has happened since 13 June. Had a tiff with babysitter... Did not want to dwell too much into it, there are bigger challenges ahead, I have much better things to do. But when daddy came back with Joel's belongings, and lamented that he has to let her vent her "frustration"... I just cant help but wonder: why do some people think that they are not wrong - absolutely no fault at all?!

We are all adults. I am 36, daddy's 41, and mind you, she's only 48, shy of a few years younger than my man. Let's put it this way, nobody is perfect, no issue is one sided. I'm not perfect, so is she. So why does she thinks she is so absolutely right, and even has the time in the world to write 2 pages of what nots?

All the men, being non nosey & cant be bothered with such trivial issues, just want things to move on. So do I. Since I cannot vent my frustration to a person face to face, let me just say it here:

#1 Dont give praise to yourself that you are good & experienced. You are subjected to appraisals as with all employed persons. If you are good, your employer will tell you.

#2 Have passion as a babysitter, you are dealing with a HUMAN, not a piece of intangible product.

#3 Co-operate with the parents.... its their children after all.

Lastly, I'm so blessed & thankful that there are still gracious people to help me overcome the turbulent 2 weeks. My sister's nanny willingly help me, caring & loving Joel, fed Joel routinely & diligently. Just 2 weeks, Joel has put on weight. She is in her 70s, has taken care so many kids, grand kids, even great grand kid. She is so good & experienced, I took my hats off her that at her age, she could still handle 2 toddlers and 2 kids with ease. I can see the loving look in her eyes, whenever she gaze at the kids surrounding her. This is PASSION.

At the end of the 2weeks, she didn't even want to take any money from me. She humbly said she did nothing much, and its an easy job. I was so touched, I tried so hard not to cry. I put Joel with her day & night for 2weeks. And each time I visit him, Joel was always clean, well fed, playing around with the kids, happily smiling. I couldnt thank her enough. I wish her long lived, and in pinkest health ever.

Thank you, Aunty. :)

More food & Outing!

Joel very happy today.. becos Daddy is back! He clung on to him, and was super excited during our outing @ Central. Yes Central Mall again but this time we tried the Waraku Jap Food. Alot of Jap restaurants there... and check out Joel's new clothes... We just cant seem to stop splurging on him!

Marutama Ramen! Yummylicious!

Worlds cannot described how wonderfully slurpilicious these ramen are ..... I am speechless. Go try it out! Marutama Ramen @ Central. Long Q forms everday, I will definitely go again!

Big Baby Cries too much

The first day ~~ too much crying.... eyes all swollen, my poor boy. More to come, its heart wrenching.

Fave Acts

I should rename this blog, Joel is no longer a baby, he's a toddler officially. BUT, he's still like a baby because he still cant talk! At 21 months, I am beginning to feel worried, let's just hope its God who wants to give us more peaceful moments before he starts blabbering nonstop :) What does Toddler Joel loves to do now? Eat his fave ice cream, wear adult shoe, and best of all, help me carry my bag... not just a while, he's my dear little helper.

Sakae Sushi

This sushi chain must have got good food, its always packed, Long Q snaking during meal times. We were in the Q too, the waitress suggested counter table, she said she has the baby chair for it. Hurray, I said Yes immediately as I am the last in the Q. Its the first time Joel sat on a 'hanging' baby chair. It was nerve wrecking, I was so afraid Joel will move alot and the chair will come loose. Fortunately, everything went well. Joel sat pretty well throughout. Phew.

New Toy .... Again

New toy, the supermarket trolley.... he carts them around the house...

His Girlfriends

There are a few kids in the house but all of them are girls. The closest age is Xue Ni - a 18mth old chubby little gal. The way they fight over toys is hilarious. Joel even wore their heels :s:s
