In March, Ryan got HFMD, and was kept away from childcare centre for 10 days. After his recovery, he didn't want to go to school! He would sit outside the centre (don't know what he is waiting for) and waited...till either I carried him in or passed him to a teacher. Without fail, he would start wailing loudly and pitifully as if I have abandoned him. At first, I thought...ok... he got to get used to the routine one more time...maybe just a week or two at most. However, till now, mid April, he is still doing the same thing EVERY MORNING. ok...not every morning...at least he didn't do that TODAY (only today...so when I came back I told Roy he can buy Toto).
Luckily, from what I heard, he would stop after 5 to 10 mins. For the rest of the days, he would be alright and enjoying himself and would still occasionally disturb others. But then... En en also started acting up. I wonder if it's because she saw what her brother did. Every morning (and night), I need to tell her Mummy has to go to work, no one is at home to look after them so they have to go to school and play with friends. Sometimes, it was really frustrating to see them behaving like this, especially when other kids walk in to the school happily and wave byebye to their daddy and mummy. I really hope we can get over this phase SOON.

Emotional Mother
Yesterday, we went to my parents' house since it was a holiday. With the two kids bugging their Gonggong, I went down to do my work on the computer. The television was on, but I wasn't following any of the movies shown in particular...till this 'horror' movie.
I didn't watch from the beginning, just managed to fix the story together through the bits that I had watched. It showed Shu Qi as a mother who moved into a new apartment with her hubby and toddler son.
Somehow, her son was taken away by a 'monster', who turned out to be a mad woman who lived on scraps and hid in unknown parts of the estate. This scary-looking mad woman, played by Lin Jia Xin, lost her hubby and was left alone with her son. Being unable to support themselves financially after her husband died, they wandered on streets. While she hasn't lost her sanity, she still looked after her son though they could not make ends meet. However, her son died... I didn't get to watch how he died. (so I managed to save up some tears)
Somehow, when I watched again, it seemed that Shu Qi was left alone to deal with the 'kidnap' of her son. However, according to Roy, the son was slowly being 'transformed' ??? Shu Qi tried to find out more about the mad woman and approached police for help, but didn't know what the police did. Anyway, she managed to lure the mad woman into her apartment using her 'already dead son' as a 'bait' (well..the mad woman had lost her sanity and maybe her memory got mixed up so she couldn't remember that her son had died).
When the mad woman left the boy alone to find Shu Qi, I thought it was a good chance for the boy to follow her route and escape to find his mother. While the 2 women were fighting in the apartment, the boy appeared at the doorstep of his own house and cried. During the fight, the 2 women were pushed by each other to different corners of the house (shortly after the boy appeared), the boy slowly moved forward, crying sadly... but what made me BURST INTO TEARS WAS to see the son walking towards to MAD WOMAN !!!!!!! He was saying to her ,"Why did you leave me alone?" and went to hug her !!! I COULDN'T TAKE IT AT ALL!!!!
Whenever I watch shows with small children suffering from mishaps, it always makes me very emotional because I would easily think about what it will be like if that child is my own. I couldn't believe it...so immediately, the thought that flew to me was... like my own child forsake me for a MAD and dirty woman who kept him away from his own mother!
The mad woman took the boy away, leaving the devastated Shu Qi alone. She brought the boy up to the rooftop... foreseeing what may come... I walked away and refused to continue to watch that HORRIBLE show! I knew my tap would not stop if she really jumped down from the building with that innocent and cute boy.
I know I was the type to cry easily (from watching sad love stories/ dramas) but I think I have 'levelled up' after I became a mother myself. I wonder if other mothers are like me... or.... was it JUST ME ???

1st Entry in 2010
This is my first official entry in 2010. Oh my goodness... was I so busy that I forgot about this blog? But I added En en's Video clips.. :P Ok...not so bad.
It is 2 April today, a holiday for us - Good Friday!
En en has learnt 7 Tang Poems in school. I am amazed with her memory. It was fun listening to her as well. :) Few days ago, En en suddenly commented, " I didn't see Papa and Mummy get married. I want to see lei." She made the same comment about Gonggong and Popo's marriage as well. Haha... where did she learnt the word 'Jie Hun' in the first place?
Ryan has been very active, he had just recovered from HFMD the week before. Lucky for him or for us, I think it was considered mild. He wasn't crying from discomfort or pain, but maybe the itching irritated him. We were trying hard to prevent him from scratching too much.
