Pax: Yes, she s very funny. She broke a glass in the restsurant while hubby went to get food for her. When we asked her what happened, she said she was trying to hit a mosquito! But this trip she has behaved badly. Ayden was surprisingly well behaved given we expected him to be the nottier one.
Belle: No lah... I m not planning to have #4.
Star: Rae is another poser! She can stand like a model! Yah the hotel is quite old. Think hubby left it to his secretary to book the hotel. I know we could t get another hotel cos that was fully booked for the New Year weekend. I could see the straits of malacca from one of the balconies too..
QQ: So because we are their only mum, they can t do a fair comparison lah. It s always a biased view.
I dunno if I enjoyed myself, but I was all tired out from the trip.. Actually there s nothing much to be done in malacca right? Think this was my 3rd trip there ler..
Pink: Your girls are cute! All my children love daddy. They are always asking me where is papa. If ayden wakes up late and only sees me in the room, he ll ask me where is papa.
The first question ayden asked when he wakes up in the morning

Enya is so pong pong n such a sweetie pie

I kept reminding myself n Hb by wondering out loud: 'Do I prefer a life without kids but more control/material comfort/privacy/etc, or do I prefer a messy house with kids' laughter all day round?'
I always come back to the same answer. Then I tell myself to jus shut up n do my very best. Though my 'best' is different from your 'best' n someone else's 'very best'
I know Wat u mean by 'bad days'. Some days I wonder if my kids wil turn out btr w/o me stayg @ home n lording over tem. The answer is no. Growing up w a mummy is definitely diff from growing up with ONI maids/grandparents @ home. At least I can hv more inputs ovr the kind o person I want tem to b.
Jus like YE Nw. I'm happy to hear fr her principal n teachers Wat a well behaved n polite girl she is. It doesn't matter that she can't write her name/ spell alot o words. I look out for feedback n Wat kind o person n character she is becoming. I'd rather she has 人缘n gets along w people, than being top in class/clever etc. If I dun SAH, then I hv less control ovr character building n can ONI watch how she grows.
Of course the working mums here also can do these, but I know I can't de. Haha. My small brain can ONI do so much at one time. Work vs family. I can ONI hv ONE S priority(Wh is why I peifu the working mums)
When I was akid, my mum gave up her job n devoted her life to us (in fact til Nw she stil does. In addition to hovering ovr us, she hovers ovr my kids too!)
Even when she lies seriously ill in the hospital bed n can't eat/drink, she stil runs the household fr the hospital! She amazes me. I grew up seeing my frens with wkg mums n tell mine to jus leave me alone. Then I insisted on Nt eating her homecooked meals so I can hangout at the canteen n fast food joints with frens n tell tem n my mum in no uncertain terms how nice it is to hv mothers wkg n eating out n 没人管我. Luckily I hv a v sensible fren whose mum was wkg n 'counsel' me o/w. The older I grew, the more I hear abt others' household n realized Wat a lucky gal I hv been. N I told my mum Ltr on how wrong i hv been!
I m a SAHM tdy cos I aspire to b like my own mum. If I do thgs rite, one day YE n meimei wil tel me tey r glad I SAH w tem. Tey may make a diff choice when it's their turn but Tt's ok. I also know I can Nvr b s gd a mum s my own, so Tt's an inspiration but I still set realistic n reachable goals for myself *Ah Q self consolation*
I m telling u this cos I know exactly Wat those 'bad days' u r talking abt feels like. N u may b too harsh on urself (in this sense we r quite similar)
I imagine life for my kids without me n no way will they b btr off. 有妈妈在是不一样的

AAA: but its a good attempt this trip to bring 2 kids on your own there.. hahah, i enjoyed my last malacca trip a lot of maybe the last time i was there was when i was in sec school, i find the place changed a lot, lot of big mall. ACtually equatorial location is good cos u are within walking distance to all the historical sites and the famous peranakan restaurants.
Actually its very tiring to bring our kids on a holiday, and u brought 2 of them somemore. were they well behaved on the way there?
And how come u and your hb goes up t malacca so often?
QQ, SQ, we should go malacca!!

pax, wah u are waraku VIP?
this is my 2nd time in waraku, 1st time was another branch at tanjung pagar, i think more than 5 years ago. haha!!
SQ, i told jay (before ur response) that u prob will stay at clementi for many years. I was so right. haha!!!
I feel quite touch about your mum. i think YE and Yhui will definitely appreciate your stay with them at home, though it might come at a later stage (same as you) or earlier like now. when they are in teens age, more rebellious thus we also bobian.
AAA, actually i also told jay many times, i am not a good mum, etc etc etc... jay's response is always:" if you are not a good mum, then not many good mums liao. I also want to be your kids, so xing4 fu2."
my response:" is it? call me mama then."
Star, frankly speaking, i feel quite poor thing for didi now, cause we always dump him to our maid while all focus is still on tian. now didi has learn to protest and scream for us. in a way good also otherwise we wont even know if he is there.
malacca? before u deliver or after?

SQ,
I like your words. Very inspiring. But for me, it's the other way round.. I don't have a very inspiring mother.. (cos she has to work and don't have the time and energy).. so for me, I always tell myself, I don't want to be like my mother.. Of course, I still love my mother dearly, and I understand she doesn't have a choice, because she is a single parent.. so now, what i tell myself is, since I have a choice, I must do much better than her and be the kind of mother I hope to have as a kid (having home cooked meals, picnics, waterplay, etc..). I think we all do our "best" in our own ways. I can't agree more!
QQ,
haha, MAMA!

SQ: Thanks for writing so much of your thoughts.. I appreciate..
Our situation has many differences wor. If there is a qualifying test, you'll surely pass the test.
You stay at home and you're involved with the kids, whereas I stay at home and still leave everything to the maids. But do I want to be more involved? I really don't cos I don't enjoy the babycare chores. And unlike you, given a choice, I will still pay for this "service".
I grew up with a working mum. I watched with envy those friends with sahms and I questioned and asked my mum how come she did not sah like so and so's mum, and I made a promise to myself that I will sah with my kids when I have kids, only to find when I fulfil my promise that it's not something simple nor is it something all women is meant to do or capable of doing.
You have watched how your mum ran the household as a child and could draw on her experience. Through watching, next time YE and YH will be able to learn from your experience. I wish I can say the same with my kids, but no lah. There's nothing for them to learn from me.. Hopefully, like Autum, they can learn what not to become.
My biggest fear is if my hubby were to leave this world prematurely. He compensates and fills in the gaps where I'm lacking and believe me, there are lots of gaps, that if he's not around one day, I won't be able to fill up those gaps ler.. What a morbid thought! But I think of it now and then.

Star: Not that hubby and I have been to malacca so many times, I was there before with my friends when younger. Yup, lots of changes, but the attraction sites, besides the new malls, are more or less the same I guess?
Yup, the hotel is within the walking distance of the attractions and restaurants, but we still drove out. And we didn't really cover much. We only walked one stretch of shops along the road from the chic rice and chendol stall.
Hey, the stall sells this giant lollipop. Very cute. I got them one each, and they were so happy.
QQ: Looks like all mums have self-doubts hor? Hmm.. When didi is older and can walk and run, I'm sure you'll be bringing him out together too. It was the same case for us with ayden. He's left at home most times, until he's more independent, now we're doing the same to meimei, but I know that when she's older, we'll also be bringing her out together..
And hor.. We concluded here that children cannot remember anything before 3 yrs old right?? So you see... He won't know de..
Actually I doubt that they don't remember, but I happily accept it cos it serves me better.

Astro: Yup.. It needs getting used to. Funny thing is we still choose to do it over and over.. Haha..
YH is a bit like Ayden, playful. Add to that, Ayden doesn't have any fear. We can pretend to walk away from the mall, and hide to see if he'll follow, and he won't. He'll simply continue doing whatever he was doing.
Motherhood is not easy, we all learn along the way. All children are different too so there are no specific one way to teach/deal with them. This is an ongoing learning process for all of us.
and above all, love for our kids are very important. And it is this love for them that keep us going and make us want to be better parents for them too. i just hope that my children will remain close to me next time when they grow older.
AAA: I asked if you frequent malacca cos you posted that this is your 3rd time there, so i just assumed that u head over there often with your hubby.
I also wanna add, human beings are very amazing, i am sure if your hb is not around (touch wood hor), u will step up and fill up all the gaps cos your love for your children will be so strong and it is also this that will give you the courage to do and provide the best for them.

Here's a pic of the giant lollipop.. It contains 10 mini lollipops inside..
I've hid them in the storeroom when we reached home.

im absolutely not a good mum if I really want to compare! I just do whatever I feel I'm capable of amd what makes me happier. I prefer a balance between spending time with my kids vs spending time for my personal growth. everyone is different. no right or wrong.
both hubby and i are not hands-on, cos we leave the kids to the cc, the grandparents and the maid. the truth is, if i really want to get very involved, im sure there'll be a lot of conflicts among the women, so i leave it as it is.

Pink: The balance is good.
I think I'll appreciate them more (and vice versa) if I'm out working. Hubby and I are also very hands off.. Hey, I think you've slimmed down. What did you do again? Tell me more.. I feel I've put on weight after this festive season of feasting and eating.
Star: The other day when I brought anna for her eye check-up I met this mother with her son. The boy is in sec 1 or sec 2, and they're very close. While waiting for anna's turn, the mum and I shared a bit. She told me when the boy was younger that he had asked for a sibling, but as he grew older, he no longer does.. Now the boy and her are best pals! The boy is very si wen and well behaved. I'm so envious.

I wld prefer tt some1 does e chores too
But I m such an ostrich n bcos I refuse to manage a 4th human being beyond my kids n Hb, I hv to do thgs myself
But when I m w my Hb or ah ma, I leave thgs to tem s much s I can
So we r similar
If I hv a gd maid, I wil gladly leave her to thgs too
But since no one will spare me a gd maid n I m too lazy to train my own, I hv 2b my own maid
Dun talk abt involvement
I SAH but I dun teach my kids Anythg
Oops
Tt's when j really wonder Wat I SAH For
So tt I can b THE maid!

Looking at his innocent zzz face, it's hard to believe he's a notti boy
N Anna v posey too, like Rae

SQ: Looks ARE deceiving, esp when it comes to ayden. He looks so docile and demure, but he s super notti, but cute too lah. Hehe... He s starting school on wed!! Hubby and I wonder how the teachers will cope with him.
Anna has moods when taking pics. She could smile as easily as she could fret and pout. She s notti during this trip wor. I wonder why, she s quite a well behaved girl in general.
I just did my confession. It does the soul good to confess.

Star, SQ: Silly as it sounds, I made hubby promise he ll not leave before me. I don t want to think of how I ll manage.
AAA: Anna is as posey as Rae... both can fight.. hahaha for the Miss Singapore title .. hahaha
Love anna's smile in the pic, so sweet!
Ayden removed his 5pt harness? i envy children who can sleep in car seat, rae cant at at our last malacca trip, she cried for half an hr cos she cant fall asleep on the car seat, when i pull her off and carry her, she fell asleep immediately and for 3 hrs after that!! i was aching by the time we got home!
SQ: well said, yes we will all "rise to the occassion" when we are required to.

I told Hb the ONI way he can prove his love for me is to let me 'go' 1st. Haha
N I jus Wana end by saying 'u chose to SAH with tem, how bad can it be'?
At the end o the day, at least we can say we tried. Honest effort.

SQ: i think if i were to go first, i will not " leave" peacefully leh. That is if a spirit still have feelins/emotions. I will worry for my kids, hb, family! vice versa, i think if hb were leave before me, it would be the same too (touch wood).
aiyo why are we so morbid in this first week of the new yr. ..hehe

SQ: Thanks thanks.. Given a choice, I ll still choose to sah with them, you re right.
There are as many "pains" as there are "gains" staying at home. For those happy moments, they re worth it!
Haha!! One more thing abt the trip.. Anna was pretending to be a duck and went quack quack quack along the hotel corridor while ayden pretended to be a dog and wor wor wor along the corridor! I pity those staying on our floors. Was so noisy!

Star: ayden never fail to fall asleep in the car. Sometimes as little as 20 mins is enough to bring him to dreamland. But it s really an indication he has insufficient sleep in the nite.
