de frog in de well

Last nite, after patting Megan to sleep, Melody woke up and while I’m feeding her, Joelle looked at me and asked “Bee, you looked so tired and still have to take care of the sisters, how do you feel?”

I replied “Once, there’s a thirsty frog. He found a well and jumped in to drink the water, thereafter couldn’t climb out… So what u think the frog feel? Lan Lan lah!”

Joelle said “Aiyo, you cannot say something more motivating and encouraging meh?”

So I replied “Once, there’re 2 thirsty frogs. They found a well and jumped in to drink the water, thereafter they couldn’t climb out and the female frog wants the male frog to say something more motivating and encouraging?”

We burst out laughing…

we decided to have a drawing competition this evening

in case you can tell what we’re drawing… this is elephant, supposingly…

and this should be doremon… our version that is…

care bear?? goodness, got a feeling readers are switching to another blog…

and our version of megan…

 

can tell who draw what?

she did it!

yes, finally, megan is doing it! but, only the circle block... but, its a good start lah, not bad liao lah... :)

and the same goes to the fisher-price one... and of course, still only the circle one...

 

and this morning, megan woke up by herself at 7am and started clapping her hands actively... but both us, felt extremely lethargic... and before it got too late for work, i climbed out of bed to wash up... only to find a horrific look at the mirror... yes, my eye is swollen beyond human form! ok, i'm exaggerating a little here... my eye kinda swell during the weekends, but it got worst this morning...

as for joelle, she is down with cough...

so the both of us were on mc today... after a day of rest, my poor eye recovered a little.. thou it's still swollen... but, believe me, it was worse this morning...

looking back, it seems i'm so prompt to swollen eye...

i can't hear you....

ytd, i was stuck in the lift at concourse for some 30 minutes and got a fright of my life... the fright, however, didn't come from being stuck in a lift, afterall i did jump out of a perfectly working airplane with a parachute during my army days...

anyway, back to the topic, i was frightened by how frightening other people can get... i boarded the lift at 11th floor and it was kinda loaded with mostly girls from the upper floors... and when the lift came to 2nd floor, it kinda jerked and a loud bang was heard... and the girls went chaotic (thank god the lights still on, else i can't imagine the mayhem it might cause).

 

1st fright factor
after like 10 minutes, the girls begin to complain stuffiness, which of course, it wouldn't get so bad if they didn't start talking and yelling at the comms...

> girl stuck at lift "help~~~ we are stuck in the lift!"
> technician at the comms "dun worry, we'll send someone over to help you"
> girl "WHEN?????"
>technician, after a short pause "... now lor..."

(i can tell you, if the lift ain't that cramp, i would have dropped to the floor... my goodness, still ask them when wor!)

 

2nd fright factor
and then, someone decided to take out her packet of tissue paper and started fanning herself with that plastically 'pik piak' sound... whats worst? the rest follow suite and the whole lift was full of "pik piak, pik piak, pik piak, pik piak..."

 

3rd fright factor
after another 10 minutes, i begin to hear the girls mumbling..
"so hot here" the air con is still working thou)
"so hungry"
"i'm so scared"
"i'm not going to take concourse lift anymore"
i almost faint at the last one... not going to take lift anymore? hello, you all were like working at higher than 11th floor wor...

 

4th fright factor
another 5 minutes, and they started discussing how come the lift got stuck... and one of them saw the notice that only 17 people allowed and there're 19 of us inside the lift... then another smart lady beside me rebuff that claim by saying "but even each of us is 50kg, the weight limit is still not exceeded leh"... i turned to look at the girls and i turned my head back... (i dun think each of them only 50 kg lor... btw, i'm facing the door, else i dun know how to hide my facial expression...)

 

5th fright factor
then we started to hear some voices outside the lift, and the girls begin screaming "help... we're inside!!!"... i think i'm going to suffer from semi-permanent deafness at the moment... and i tot it couldn't get worst...

> technician at the comms "hello hello, is the lift door opened?"
> all the girls "NOOOOOO....!!!!!"

 

ever wonder how it sounds like putting your ears next to an exploding bomb?
what? did you say something? i can't hear you....

sick again...

"next slide", click, "next slide", click...
pretty much my area of responsiblity last evening when my ceo giving speech to the company. we held the function at the singapore powers auditorium (hmmm, why not st.james powerhouse?)...

anyway, there's a dinner buffet after the event, which i didn't have the appetite to eat... cuz i'm shivering all over... and yup, i'm falling sick again... reached home and was running a high fever... had dinner and took medicine and knocked out...

and today, still coming to work...

wish to stay home to rest, but there's some new copiers coming in today... dell is sending in the server rack kit replacement... work is just piling up...

recalling the ceo speech ytd... i begin to try looking at happiness and money... no money, can't afford to be happy? got money, no time to be happy?

another long nite

ytd, while we were lazing on bed, megan was already while awake and seeking attention... us, however, continued sleeping despite her making noise... then suddenly megan said "妈妈" that made us jumped up... joelle especially became fully awoke...

this time it really sounds like "妈妈". don't think she know the meaning of the word thou... and it seems like she says it whenever she seeking attention or whenever she is hungry...

i wonder... when she is going to say "爸爸"?

 

when back office on sat at 5pm to work... we got to re-rack all the servers to make space for new servers that's coming in next week... and once again, its another 没天没夜 kind of work again... this time all mis activated, cw, der, tc and me... all worked till 2pm then reached home...

i was telling cw during a break while working late into the nite, that we're getting old already... feeling the effect of tiredness very easily... and of course, cw himself, suffering from backaches...

oh well, hopefully after this year, no more major projects anymore... hopefully... cuz i'm really tired liao...

 

and speaking of being tired, knocked off right after eating lunch with joelle at home... but couldn't sleep well thou, cuz megan's crying for attention... then after joelle took over, i went back to sleep... and only after a while, kanna woken up by joelle again cuz got to go mil's place...

 

oh ya, gotten an sms from wilson last nite, warning me about the recent poison milk thingy... and i dun know why it always has to be china product... and the america's financial problem... kaoz, sprit really dampened by so many bad news going around... hopefully we're in for some good news tomolo... we're having a company function where ceo will be addressing us on some company prospects, etc etc... hopefully we can get to hear some good news... (which i doubt it would be thou...)

i'm so darn sick

last evening was really really sick and decided to go see a doc after work... finally...

had been taking medicines we had from previous visits, but don't seems to be working cuz i simply need a day or two to rest at home. now, its was only a couple of months before the company workyear closes, and my $200 incentive will be gone if i took mc wor... should i just take leave instead? $200 don't seem much, but it would meant around 4 milk powders for megan, lasting for 2 months wor... hmmm, thinking thinking...

anyway, i think i'm in a bad condition... the doc gave me fever pills, flu pills, antibiotic pills and cough syrup. and with all these mixed together... even elephant also dun dare to eat lor... somehow, the medicine don't really help thou... it made my throat even more sore this morning... and whole body wobbly like jelly... haiz... had my bfast and coffee, gonna take medicine later...

and these few days, didn't get close to megan (scare she kanna virus from me)... you can see how much she wanna look for me when she found out that i was actually watching her from behind...

好想抱抱亲亲她哦~~~

awww.....

and poor joelle, was doing nite feeds for 4 consecutive nights... i must recover quick quick! time for my medicine!

 

oh ya, joelle bought lanterns for megan and valerie... looking at the 2 lanterns, i already kinda know which one megan prefers, do you?

 

and recently, when left alone, megan would 'entertain' herself by 'talking' to herself... sorry darling, you were saying??

me and my big mouth

darn... had been sick for 5 days...
sunday down with fever, recovered and monday comes the cough.

then tuesday still coughing... had some cough syrup at nite and drop dead sleeping... and on wednesday, cough still not yet recover, comes the runny nose...

joelle gave me the flu and cough medicine she had, and looking at the medicine, i knew its those that can knock out an elephant type of medicine lor... and ironically, after i had my medicine, i was watching 'earth from above' documentary on arts central, there goes an elephant being knocked out by a tranquilizer... after that... i dun remember what happened after that... :P

and right now, nose juice still dripping non-stop while posting this entry...
informed shiwei that i may not be able to be his brother on his wedding day this sat... but will monitor myself tomolo and see how first...

damn, i hate to be sick... me and my big mouth...
why leh? cuz i told joelle last week that i seldom fall sick one... and if i do, it will be mostly fever... and guess what? you all know the story... kaoz...

鱼丸粗面

don't just standby

this evening, fetched megan and saw this beautiful sunset... no lumix? still got nokia...

 

oh ya, joelle dun know got this sticker from where one, and stick it on my computer table... just to remind me to switch off power supply instead of in standby mode... and it saves about $50 per year...

hmmm... save money and go green... why not? but then again, i always switch off power supply wor...

my first father's day...

is kinda so so only leh... 没什么感觉, 没什么不同, 就是没什么 lor...

 

anyway, got to turn in early le... darn tired after going out for the 2 days over the weekend... 好困~~~

麻了...

nothing much to update recently, besides being more tired and sleepy... which is something i kept repeating over and over... and lady luck ain't shinning on me either, cuz kept having server harddisk failure, backup failure and mail server down... i'm actually kind of ... 麻了...

and weekend got to go back to office to work, cuz got to get the new backup device to work... weekend got to work and yet i feel nothing... not happy, not sad... 麻了...

almost everyday, every colleagues in office will ask me "kin fook, hows your baby"... haa, baby is fine and growing well... but not the same about the daddy thou... feel so hagged... hair long and messy but still haven't go get it cut... thinking of getting a really short haircut... hmmm...

 

lumix still not repaired yet... haiz... 真的好麻好麻哦!

the real scofield

just now, while watching prison break, joelle asked me...

joelle: "b ah, 男主角叫什么名?"

me: "scofield lor..."

joelle: "no lah... his real name lah..."

me: "errr... the real scofield?"

joelle: "NB..."

joelle's sit and reach pass liao...

hmmm... still got time before 10... so add another entry... keke...

joelle was sitting on the floor, cutting her toenails and happily said "wow, 好久没有坐下来剪脚指甲了"...

haa... indeed... even since joelle preggie, she couldn't cut her own toenails... its actually quite funny to see her trying to reach her toenails... hee... once joelle asked me to cut for her, and was kanna complaint, cuz i cut too deep in liao...

and so... she is so darn happy she can cut her toenails now... :P

 

ghee... 还没有十点哦...

做月

some personal views i had on confinement practices... i find it, totally stupid and bo liao... no shower, no wash hair, no water, no fan, no this and that... kaoz...

this is totally nonsense... my mum and mil talked about themselves following confinement practices strictly cuz back then, their mils are very stern, so now joelle is considered better than last time liao, so must try to abide by the rules...

me, on the other hand, secretly pass water to joelle, turn on the air con, doing whatever i can to help ease joelle's stress and discomfort... and telling my parents "哇, 这个不可以, 那个不可以, 换成是我, 你们别想抱第二个孙了..." (to give them a little stress, keke)

like i say lor, if you all really follow strictly, why the backache complaints now leh? i meant, 你们老是说, 以后你们就知道. 你们以前也有做月, 现在还不是这里痛那里痛的...

need sleep

jumped back to bed at 2pm... woke up at 7pm feeling hungry... dun really know what to eat, dun really wanna go down to eat... feeling just so lazy to think of what to eat and in the end, we ordered this:

the thing about kfc is... sometimes it can make you so wanna have it, and when you had it, you feel kinda so so lor... felt like having so much oil in my stomach now... need my 2nd cup of chinese tea... need more sleep... *yawn*

叉盒三六零 vs 彩虹吸尘机

to my female readers, how do you feel, if your man bought you a vacuum cleaner as your bday gift? haa... nope, i dun wanna know either... oh well, we decided to go for this 'rainbow' vacuum cleaner after a very convincing demo... we were very very satisfied about the capability of this machine, but i was kinda put off by the price tag it carries... a whopping $3K+! joelle, however, had no second thoughts and paid for it (instalment, of course, since its interest free)... she pay... i use... omg, this can't be my bday gift bah?? (三百多的叉盒三六零不买给我,反而买了个三千多的彩虹吸尘机)...

anyway, today i 开张 the shinny new rainbow... it uses water to sort of trap the dust and dirt while exhausting cleaner air... traditional vacuum cleaners suck in dirt from front, exhaust dirt from behind... oh well, first up, fill it with clean water...

after sucking up on the bed, the pillows... the water turned murky... extremely murky... kaoz... to think we slept in this much of rubbish nite after nite... pretty much explained the sinus problem i had every now and then... now, the water do looked abit like the steamboat soup after eating for a few hours hor??

吸到干干净净, 换了新床单, 今晚会好好好好睡哦...

while i was doing area cleaning, joelle was doing her office review thingy thats to be submitted tomolo... somehow i feel its pretty tough cuz joelle kept going "arrrgh", "grrrrr", "fuck lah...", "shit", "ahhhh....". i guess, i better siam...

was doing situps and pushups at the living room while watching tv, suddenly heard joelle screamed from the bedroom "我做完了!"... and then she said she's hungry liao... kaoz, coming to 11 le, where to eat wor... hmmm, mcd.com... lets go go go!

click, pay, delivered...

ghee... feeling so darn full now... :P

must be the soup

went back office to work this morning with tc... got to install a switch and move some pc at gmt. finished work at around 3pm, and i decided to take a little walkie before going over to mother-in-law's place... and so, got a few shots again... this is the brown door of the malay heritage building...

the red door of the central fire station, opposite funan...

and the green door of the mica building...

and flowers are blooming near the staircase to fort canning hill... was really sweaty all over from the hot weather and too hungry to go on, so boarded bus to mil's place.

halfway thru the bus ride, i was stuck in a terrible downpour and a terrible traffic jam... and my ipod playing shunza's song... felt so sleepy... but my real problem comes after i alight from the bus...

got to run from cover to cover... my my, its really pouring lor...

at this point of time, i dun need to tell you how drenched i was... managed to reach mil's place in a piece thou, quickly showered and had a nice hot instant noodle prepared by joelle...

laze around at mil's place, played around with the kids, had dinner and left at around 11pm... on the way out, snapped this flower from the neighbour's pot...

oh ya, saw this pict from the i-magazine... the bed, appeared so many many times in tcs's tv shows... this, however, is the first time the bed is used to tie someone's hand...

and i also got the same bed wor... hmmm... now i know its not only for decoration purpose wor... bondage neh!

kaoz... what am i thinking? must be the soup mil made me drink just now... 还是吃supper比较好~~~

bear... and bear with it...

log in to my facebook and saw i got another bear from joelle...

dear, why keep sending me bear bear wor? have you forgotten i've already gotten the best bear from ya? :)

time for us to go to my mum's place to eat... its been 1 month since i last went over to my mum's place for dinner, always bzbz, sianz... i really missed mum's cooking...

now, some may wonder, the picture posting seems different, because the bloody my-cock-soft's product give problem again lor... was about to post b4 going over to my mum's place at 5pm, then microsoft live writter give this error...

searched the webby, no solution... darn...
bear with it and switched back to blogger style...

blue jazz finally

went starbucks this afternoon to get my fav ice cafe latte, got a 美妹 ordered ice chocolate blended... hmm, next time try and see... anyway, the cafe latte managed to perk me up and survived the remaining 2 hours before knocking off...

went to joelle's office and 顺便 return jacjac's brollie... joelle was bzbz with her work and asked me disturb others, dun disturb her, so i called jacjac to disturb her... and jacjac 挂我电话! :(

nothing to do, so played with my lumix, and took a shot of angie's masak...

and joelle's photo holder...

after joelle finished her work, we ran some errands and decided to chill out at blue jazz... finally! 前面就是了... as usual, its crowded...

managed to find a seat... maybe the waitress see joelle preggy and 'zong' a place for us... joelle flipped thru the menu, and was amused by the name of the corktails "blowjob" and "vibrator"... aiya, better than "sai" or "lio" right?

ice cold beer for me....

no alcohol for joelle, so... orange juice lor... yawn...

deep fried calamari... joelle calculated $7, 10 calamari(s)... 70cents each... wow dear, your maths 有进步哦... haha~~~

zing wings... as they call it, chicken wings actually... too dark thou...
