What My Daughter Taught Me.....

"Mummy, I want to try"......

Nowadays, that's her favourite words. I notice that since very young, she's very independent and she would insist on doing things for herself. She will feed herself and even refuse food when you tried feeding her. She will hold on to the spoon even as you tried stuffing food into her mouth. Since she was 18 months, she tried wearing her pants on her own and sometimes, somehow, she's successful but often than not, she'll end up screaming in frustration. However, it seems that she's quite content with whatever outcome as long as she give her best shot. It demand more time and efforts from us to take care of her as we will end up "waiting" and "secretly helping and guiding" her while she tries to "figure" things out.

I was smiling when I first heard her uttering those words and she said them more often now especially when there are new things for her to explore. She will look up to me and said enthusiastically ....."Mummy, mummy, I want to try" and before I can answer, she woulld have proceed with her "adventure". There's no stopping her. She's full of energy and she doesn't give up easily.

There's two sides to a coin. The "bad" thing is that I suspects I will be spending more time counselling her (compared to her brother!) but the good thing is that hopefully, her willingness to try new things (coupled with her quiet determination) will serves her well in acquring new skills and knowledge.

Caitlin taught me is that everything is a new adventure and instead of shying away, we should at least give it a try!! Who knows, we might end up loving it!!

My First Coach

This is officially my first branded bag and I totally love it.

I bought it from ebay, got it delivered to my hubby's colleague who was in US for training and he (thank you, thank you) hand carried it back to ME. I love the smell of the leather......so nice. I love the shape of the bag and the design, the coach tag and every single things on it. Love it love it love it... enough said.

HAppY MeRdEka 2010

Today is a national holiday; Independence Day.....and we are taking the opportunity to be lazy.

I'm blogging downstairs, Hubby is coaching Ryan with his school work + surfing upstairs, Caitlin is in la-la land (she's not well; cough and flu) while Aunt Jo is taking her afternoon nap.

It's drizzling outside........a perfect day to just chill. I will be making a cuppa for myself and hubby.
All is well............everyone is happy, healthy and enjoying the peace and quiet. Errr...except Ryan who is asking when he still need to study when it's a holiday !!

There's no stopping me. Got this for Caitlin, for my princess' birthday party.

Happy Mother's Day

I am been exercising and it feels great. I will make sure that I exercise at least twice a week. I know it's nothing to shout about but for me personnally, it's a great start and taking care of myself includes loving my body. ** wink wink **.

Everyone in the family is good. Ryan is having his exams soon and Caitlin is growing up to be this sweet but demanding girl. I will spend all my free time with them, nurturing and discipling them. I think I said this before...they grow up so fast.

As for me, I am happy and contended and living my life to the fullest. I have accomplished a lot for the past few months. I reviewed and redid my personal vision and mission. It has been very rewarding. I feel like I am a different person altogether. I am more at peace with myself and I simply feel great !!! Make everyday a great day especially this weekend as it' mother's day. Wishing all mummies out there a great journey ahead. I am off to choose my gift. ** wink wink wink **

My First Online Purchase

I am new to purchasing goods online. Where have I been? Hiding under a coconut husk? Yes !!

I was introduced to a few websites which sells kids clothings, beautiful ones and at very reasonable prices. I would just fall in love with the designs and colours and just about everything and before the end of the week, my first purchase was delivered to my office.

The quality of the dressess and pants (plurals yes because I bought loads of them) are very good. I especially love this top which the picture of a cat. Unsure of the size, I ordered one for 3 years old. Caitlin will be 2 in August but she can fit in perfectly well and instead of a top, she's now wearing it as a dress. Ain't she cute?

And I think from now on, I know where to get good bargains. Hubby is also happy as I don't have to drag him to the stores to shop for hte kids' clothes....well, not that often.
