Cyber Cafe for Sale

Since I can't get a suitable worker for my cyber cafe, I am putting it up for sale. I can't raise my 6 children in a cyber cafe. They get too distracted by the games played by the customers and they refused to do their school work.

And I get easily stress up being in a confine place with my 6 children from morning till night. I turn into a shouty mommy with I am definitely not proud of. My eldest picked it up and the rest followed too. Disaster!

If no one rescue me from this situation, I do not know what will become of me and my children. :(

Care for the Elderly

My dad started showing symptoms of Alzheimer disease. Besides that his health is deteriorating. He is getting weaker. I hope and pray that God will strengthen him again till the day he leaves this world. I dread to see he suffers from pain during his old age. As children, we are trying our very best to ease his pain like how they eased our pain when we were growing up. If there come a time when he can even squat to pass motion, I'll buy for him the elevated seat. There are so many to choose from at Parentgiving.

At Parentgiving too, I found thousands of products and hundreds of informative articles that allow people to age well at home. Parentgiving are dedicated to offering medical and healthcare supplies for the elderly, bed and bath safety products and practical tools for all the activities of daily living for those who want to stay independent as well as those with limited mobility.

Now, my main priority is to continue praying for my parents salvation so that I cam meet them in Heaven when I die.

Working Fulltime

Today I started working fulltime at my shop. Fulltime as in from opening till closing which is almost 12 hours per day! Not only that, I will have to work with my 6 children in tow too. We will be trapped in the shop for 5 days in a week! I decided to close on Friday too apart from Sunday because my girls have piano class and we have swimming class every Friday too. We'll see how things goes from today onwards.

How many bolster does a person needs?

How many bolster do you have? Most people only have one bolster but I have 2 bolsters. I used to not sleeping with a bolster at all. Since I had my first baby, I have been having 2 bolsters with me. One to put behind my back and another to support my baby's back or mine, when we switch places. Wonder why? I breastfeed my baby to sleep and this goes on the whole night. That is the reason I need 2 bolsters.

Who is my baby's father?

One of the reasons we want to homeschool our children is to protect them from the social world that we are currently living in. What happened to sex after marriage? Many parents have surrendered to this social pressure. Instead of teaching their children to say "No" to sex before marriage, they are reaching their children about birth control. You can't beat them, you join them but with precautions. No birth control can guarantee you 100% you won't get pregnant. You will end up needing paternity testing kit if you sleep with more than one man. We are going to prepare our children with good characters and values before we kick them into the world.

Cycling during School Holiday

The school holiday is coming! One of the mommies in FB told us that her school holiday calendar is packed with activities with her children. But most of the activities requires money which we do not have much. The only school holiday activity that I have in mind is cycling. Since I am so used to waking up at 6am to get the children ready for school and driving them to school, I plan to use that time to cycle. I think I will drag my eldest girl along to accompany me. She loves cycling too.

Investing in Books

This year, we (hubby and I) plans to start investing in buying more books for our children.

I have started collecting some new and used Enid Blyton's storybooks 2 months ago but I have yet to find the time to read to my children. In order to get them interested to read books, we first must read to them and make it as interesting as possible. Then they would pick up the book and read for themselves.

Next, it will be more educational books like Encyclopedia coz my eldest girl has been asking too many question that I can answer but not explain in detail.

Sony Vaio

My eldest daughter spends her time online very often now. Her latest favorite online game is the Pet Society in Facebook. Before this she was hooked playing Spineworld and Habbo to which I have to get hubby to block the website because I do not want my 6yo chatting with strangers. Only 6yo, I am already facing this problem! I shivers thinking what might happen in another 6 years if I don't teach them well. She even asked me to buy her a Sony Vaio. She wants to have her own laptop!

How Much Have We Saved

I have been fully breastfeeding my baby since he was born; more than 4 months now. Hubby was asking me how much have we saved from buying milk. I am not so sure, maybe about RM600 more or less. Besides that we saved a lot from buying disposable diapers too because our baby is using cloth diapers and cloth nappy. With the saving, we could spend the money buying more books for baby since baby loves to read. Yup! I should head over to Amazon books now and search for good deals. ;)

Every Seconds of His Life

If you follow my children's blog then you will know how chatty my almost 3yo son is. Sometimes I want to tell him to stop talking but of course I didn't do that. He started talking pretty late compared to his sisters whom can speak by their 1st birthday. This son of mine only starts talking at 21 months. And once he starts, he speeds all the way, non-stop. Sometimes it is very exhausting for us but we are enjoying every moment of it. I felt so worth it quitting my job and being able to witness his growing ups every seconds of his life.

I am sure he can be a good Massachusetts OUI Lawyer or any lawyer for that matter. I wonder whether he will grow up to follow his daddy's footstep, stick to his career, become a successful lawyer and owned his own law firm. Be rich and take care of Mommy like what he likes to say.

Anyway, for all my children, I hope their will gain skills that will be useful in serving God. Be it a lawyer, a doctor, a teacher or even a farmer; as long as they can use this skill to serve His people, we will be a proud parents.

Not Ashamed to be Imperfect

I'd hate to be your kid - learning is not much fun when you're crap scared.

I got this comment on my post about teaching my 2nd girl to recognise the alphabets.

I don't mind receiving negative comments if the website belongs to a blogger. If the comment is from a website that just wanna advertiser his business website, sorry lar I will delete the comment.

And 2ndly, you are not in my shoe. I wonder whether he even have a child of his own.

3rdly, don't just kutuk, give suggestion or good idea on how can I improve my teaching style. I write because I need suggestion not condemnation.

I know not many mothers would reveal their weakness. They blog about the good things that happened and readers would have this idea that everything is perfect for them.

That is not my style. I am not ashamed to tell the world that I am not a perfect mommy.

New Milk Bottle

Yesterday I realized that my 2nd girl's milk bottle has cracks on the bottle opening. Time to change a new one. I was thinking to buy a smaller ones coz she never drink more than 5 ounces. All my children are light drinker; none more than 5 ounces.

When I reached Tesco just now, I stopped at the baby products department and I was clueless on what I should get! That is how forgetful I am these days.

If there is more online baby store here better still. When the need comes, just click and pay. Sure won't experience memory lapse.

The Spider Not Killed; The Cobweb Will Come Back

That is what hubby said when I told him what my brother did when his daughters misbehave at home.

Just now they played with the shoe wax. The 3yo opened the shoe wax, the 1yo smeared it all over her face. When conveyed this to my brother, he blamed the person that kept the shoe wax in the shoe rack! He said to put it on higher place. How would we know that his daughters will play with it?

The aquarium in the living hall is gone now because his daughters like to dig the styrofoam under the aquarium. You see, instead of disciplining them, he removed the aquarium. It's like destroying the cobweb but not the spider; the cobweb will be built again the next day.

A few things in the house have been kept away including our antique poker tables because his daughters like to climb on it. I wonder what else will put away soon. I think it would be their mommies undies coz they wear playing with it, wearing them on their heads while my mom who babysits them while their parent go to work was cooking.

If my children were to do that, they will sure get the disciplining from me!

Pet Turtles for RM10

I bought baby turtles for RM10 a pair. The turtle food cost RM5 and the container RM3.

RM18 to see my eldest girl smiling from ear to ear and then her cries and screams when her sister snatches the turtles from her.

This is my daughters first pet. I hope they will survive as long as they could. ;)

My Maid Got Her First Grandchild

My maid just received a phone call from her daughter informing her that she is a grandmother already. She is so happy because this is her first grandchild. She is not even 40 years old. Well, poor people tend to marry at a very young age. A way for the parent to release some of their "burdens".

So, I told her that if she wants to buy baby gifts for her grandchild, that is allowed. Of course I will minus from her salary. I am not that rich. Maybe I will bear the postal charges if that is not that expensive.

Play and Learn

It has been a week of working half day and spending the rest of the day at home with my children. Nothing much has been done except guiding my eldest to complete her homework and making sure all of them nap everyday.

Before I resign, I have so many ideas and ideals on what to do with them but now, when I am finally with them, I became clueless on what to do. Have you experienced the same?

Hubby told me to bring them outdoor in the evening so that they can learn from the nature. So far the only outdoor education that they got from me was about plants; about stem, roots and leaves. We do have some Maths exercise; counting petals.

I need to think of games to play outdoor for pre-schoolers and toddler. If they were older, I would have gotten the Baseball Gloves and we could play baseball; my favorite game.

Since they are still young and their hands are still tiny, I don’t think they have mini baseball gloves. Hehehe. Must think of other fun games. Maybe we could play pirates game and ask them to find treasures. Hmmm…that would be fun.

Blogging does help me my brain to start thinking! Hahahaha.

Angpow Money Safe in Bank

My children's angpow money are save in the bank now. No worries of letting my bedroom door open all the time. Even though my maid does not steal but you can never trust a stranger.

I am not so sure whether I will hand the account book to my children once they are a teenager. My parent did that and the money in there went "missing" in no time! LOL

New Chapter

A new chapter begins today.

And I am clueless on what to do today!

My daughter has no homework and I have no money to go shopping! LOL

Anyway, I take it as a rest day for me today or maybe for a week! hahaha

My children are sick...coughing and sniffing so, I can't bring them for a swim. That was what I thought of doing today.

Oh well, I have many many more days to do that. :)

AL turns MC

I planned to take another day of annual leave (AL) yesterday but since, I am having runny nose so does all my 3 children, I managed to get MC when I went to see the doctor yesterday. Total spent RM42 for all 4 of us.

But today, I took another day of AL, maybe half day because my eldest daughter is having fever. Tried waking her up to send to my mom's but she did not move an inch! Oh! She is still alive. :P
