Yesterday we brought Little Kayden to ISB. At first he was a little bit shy but after a few minutes of warm-up, he's unstoppable. He can even tell the other kids "No, No" as well as "Go..." I think Little Kayden enjoyed himself yesterday.

Last Sunday, Kelvin bought a tee for Little Kayden and he loved it (I think it's the picture of the car tat he likes). Wearing the tee Kelvin bought, we brought him shopping yesterday. As usual, he shopped for toy cars. He already had a huge collections of cars and yet it's still not enough for him.

The badminton racket caught his attention.

Maybe it's the wrong word to use but somehow Little Kayden was in a daze yesterday. For the very first time, he recognized the wrong people. I think it's probably because of his height and from there, he didn't look up ahead but at the clothes the person is wearing. So he called out to the wrong person twice which is inevitable. However, we did laughed out loud though at his simple mistake.

We went to the Mall again but this time for lunch. At Hot Point, I ordered a cup of hot tea and pan mien. This time, I actually took a few shots of the place (something I do not normally do) but they didn't turn out great though.

We went to the Mall to do some grocery shopping today. Little Kayden amazed everyone with his little action - he helped put the grocery we bought onto the cashier's table and insisted no one to help him. One by one, he put the things on the table for the cashier to scan and even said "thank you". A couple was looking at him and smiling  throughout the scene.How it touched my heart to see Little Kayden being so sensible at a young age...

Finally, the course is over. Had a very long day yesterday. The morning course was interesting as we had a few mind games and physical activities. However, it was a very long afternoon - I was unmotivated throughout the course and there wasn't much activities too. It's all talk, talk and talk....

Today, there was a trip to visit the Lapau but I couldn't make it. The closing ceremony was in the afternoon and our certificate presentation was part of it too. We teachers had to actually practiced our walking style and learn when and how to bow down to our honorable guest. Some made mistakes and everyone laughed out loud. Oh what fun it was!

When it was my turn to receive the certificate, the guest of honour asked me a weird question "Are you a teacher?" Honestly, I was shocked and I think I forgotten to say "Menjunjung Kasih" to him. I assumed he knew that all the participants of the course were Chung Hwa Middle School teachers but to ask me this question made me questioned myself - don't I look like a teacher or am I too YOUNG to be a teacher? Haha...

Now the course is out of the way, it's time to plan out what I have to do for these two weeks - spending quality time with Little Kayden, washing my car (something I wanted to do since a few months ago), do some cleaning up and arranging the stuff in my room. Going to keep myself and my mind busy busy busy...

It's just the third day of holidays and I feel so bored. I did nothing much except entering students' information into an excel file created by MOE for their usage. Dad and Kelvin went for their golf tournament at Empire yesterday noon so we took Kayden out to Qlap Hua Ho and did some grocery shopping.

One funny incident was that Kayden kept saying "Oh,Oh..." to a parent of three children when he tried organizing the bicycles (which his children accidentally made fall down) back to the way they were but failed. He was so embarrassed that he did not dare face in our direction when he walked away.

On Monday and Tuesday, the school organizes a full - day course for all teachers from 7.30 a.m. till 4.30 p.m. I bet it's gonna be a long and tiring day. I am not so looking forward to it though.

Today is the first day of holidays. I realised that I haven't taken pictures of Kayden for a very long time. So I started snapping a few shots today and decided to post them here...

My latest creation for Kayden.

Lately, although there were ups and downs in my life, I managed to get through them all. But honestly, I don't know if I have enough patience and courage to go on. I know I did many mistakes and I am trying my best to amend them but somehow it just doesn't seem enough. It looks like I have to go through a transformation in order to go on with my current life.I really need guidance...

This year, we bought our Mother's Day cake from Mum Bakery. There were three flavours (fruit milk, chocolate cheese and banana) to choose from and we chose Fruit Milk Cake (pictures shown below). The overall taste was not too sweet nor bland and the fruits used were quite fresh.

Recently, we bought Little Kayden a study table for him to do his reading, art work and colouring. At first, he wasn't used to sitting in it but gradually you can find him sitting there by himself without us asking him to.

Witnessing Little Kayden's growth and the experiences he gained lately fill my life with smiles and happiness. He has brought so much joy that I love him so much. Though there were times when he was naughty or stubborn, he somehow has a way of making you forgive him and make you want to love him even more. I guess that is the way of motherhood.

In our living room, there is a corner where we put Kayden photos - from birth till now. From time to time, whenever we brought Little Kayden down to the living room to play, I would sit near there and gazed into the photos just to recall the wonderful times that had gone past and how Little Kayden is growing up every single minute of the day.

Wow! It's been a long, long, time since I last blogged ;-)


I was unwell the past three days but am gradually recovering from my flu. However, Kayden seems to have caught the 'bug' from me and now he's not feeling too good himself. Just brought him to see the doctor yesterday and today again to inquire about the medications given to him.


A lot has happened within the past few months. There were moments that everything was going great but also moments when everything seems to go wrong no matter what you do or how hard you are trying. However, I told myself that patience is the key to everything. As long as I keep my cool, I can get through these hard times.


Pictures were taken but there wasn't time to upload them. But I promise to try and post them up on my blog within this week.
