Cockroach!

October 23, 2008 · Filed Under Mama's Yakking · Comment 

It just happened not long ago. We were resting in the room and the kids went to the living room to get some books to read in the room.

Izaac came in first then awhile later, Amilie came rushing in and she suddenly started crying. Her voice was a bit muffled and I could only hear that there was something outside. After asking a few times, we finally understood what she was crying about.

She told us that there was cockroach in the living room and she was frightened. So we decided to go to the living room to see where is the cockroach but couldn’t find any cockroach and we asked where is the cockroach, Amilie pointed to something on the floor.

Hubby took a close look and realised that it was a beetle instead. Hee! Hee! Think Amilie got a scare because of the moving insect. And both hubby and I had a bit of a laugh by Amilie action. Too bad we didn’t record now, to show it to Amilie when she grow older. :-P

Chinese Garden 2008

September 25, 2008 · Filed Under Mama's Yakking · Comment 

Last weekend, we brought the kids to Chinese Garden to see the lantern. Actually, we wanted to bring the kids to see the lantern the previous weekend, Mid-Autumn Festival, but both the kids fell sick that week.
Since they are getting better, we decided to bring them to see the lanterns last Saturday. The kids were all excited that morning as they knew that they would be going out in the evening.
We went out after the kids woke up from their afternoon nap. Had our dinner near to Chinese Garden before we went to see the lanterns.

Every time when we reach home, the kids would rush happily to the door to welcome us back. One day, when we reached home, we saw something weird with Amilie’s face. A closer look and we saw this.

Barney Show

The moment we know that Barney is coming to Singapore, I had been keeping a lookout for the sale of tickets from my company so that I could bring the kids to watch their favourite character.

When the kids saw the poster at Suntec City, they were excited. Here’s picture of the kids taking picture with the poster. They were quite distracted though. :)

Singapore Flyer on Mother’s Day

We were lucky to get a cheaper rate to board on Singapore Flyer on the first Mother’s Day since it was opened.

The place was not very crowded but we still need to queue to board up the wheel. The kids were not bored though while waiting for our turn. Read more

Maid Nightmare

June 19, 2008 · Filed Under Mama's Yakking · Comment 

It’s been awhile since we’ve update our blog. We are currently trying to adapt to our life without our maid for 2 years while waiting for the replacement of our new maid to come in.

After our maid told us she couldn’t renew her contract with us as she wanted to go back home, we had went searching through the database online. We managed to had the new maid we selected to come in 2 days after our first maid left for her home.

The nightmare started when the new maid came in. Well, frankly speaking, I don’t think we are bad employers but we got this kind of maid.

The 3rd day the new maid came, she actually requested to bring Amilie downstairs to play. Of course, she got rejected. The 4th day, she requested to bring Izaac downstairs to play and was rejected again. We were shocked that she had this kind of request within the first few days.

After 1 week, she told us that she does not want to work at our place. Then we had no choice but to call the agency to understand what she was talking about. The agent told us that she would try to work at our place. But 1 week later, she told me that she didn’t know how to take care of children and she doesn’t like to take care of children.

So we decided to change the maid. During these time, before she got transfer to another employee, she still need to work at our place. And the following week, my MIL found her standing on the kitchen window grill. She told us that she wanted to take the towel at the latch of the kitchen window. Well, base on her intelligence, we did not believe that she had wanted to take the towel.

Suspect that either she wanted us to send her to the agent or she wanted to shun off her work. That’s what I had observe for her 3 weeks stay.

Anyway, we decided to send the maid to the agency and currently, we had to wait 3 weeks before our next maid come in. Pray hard that the next maid would be better.
