Saturday Excursion

When we were young, we go places via public transport aka bus. But nowaday, almost every household have cars so travelling on bus become a novelty. Qi ning has requested to go on bus for a couple of time since last year. So on Saturday, we took a bus ride down to cnetral market. The two girls enjoyed the ride very much and Qi ning wanted to requested to go on another bus ride on Sunday!
I haven't gone on the bus ride for soooo long myself. If given a choice I prefer the comfort of private car. It took more than an hour from Puchong to Cnetral market and the stop and move cause me headache. But it is all worth all since the gilrs enjoyed it. Is an experience for them. MAybe when Qi Yu is bit older we will have another go at taking bus down town.

Hospitality

Qi Ning loves loves to have visitors. Very often she would ask why isn't so and so visiting us and ask if we could get her cousins to come to her house.
Last night, one of the church friend came for a visit. She was very happy. After greeting the guest, she went to the kitchen. I was wondering what she wants to do. I saw her pulling a chair and climb up to take a cup and starts pouring water. At first I thought she wanted to have a drink of water. Only later I found out that she wanna served the guest!
My maid was telling me that if there were visitors, Qi Ning would tell her to serve drinks, I guess now instead of asking the maid, she decides that she is big enough to do the serving herself! My girl is growing up.

Catching up

Yesterday was an extra ordinary day for me. A very good friend of mine whom I have not seen for almost two years now came to meet me for lunch at my office. Then another two very good friends of mine who was my ex-colleague & exstudent came to my office and suprise me with an early birthday celebration with cake from Secret recipe! She stays in Melaka and since she was coming this way, she wanna surprise me. Indeed I was very touch by their visits.
Today, another of my old friend called and we had a good chat as well.

Changes

Someone say the only thing that is constant is "change". I think with the increase in fuel prices, many changes will have to take place for income earners! For a start, I have slow down my speed since I was told that driving at 80-90km/h is most fuel economical. Heehehe, i feel like an old lady driving when I am driving at such speed where I used to go at 100-120km/hr. We also try not to swich on the air-con at home so often. Use to have it on for the whole night.
Have been feeling so comfortable at my currently work place even though it is far from my home, I still hardly consider looking for a job nearer to home . I stay in Puchong but work in Nilai. With the increase in petrol price, I got to start thinking about work place again, is it worth paying RM500-600 per month on the fuel?
I have been offered a place to study PhD in university of Malaya for the July intake, so hubby is saying to pursue my PhD, try to get a job with the university. Changes again. So many thought is going through my mind, to study or not to study? The thought of continuing the study is both exciting and scary. Exciting as it is always my dream to do a PhD, scary because I don't know if I have what it take to complete it!
I don't know how it is going to be if I have to work and study and having to have time for my two girls. As it is I already feel guilty of not being able to spent enuf time with my girls as a working mum. As a counselor, I heard lots of sad story about poor/bad family relationship, parents & children, husbands & wives..etc. Enough for me to alway keep a look up for my own relationship with my girls and husband. and that make me feel guilty sometime. Thoeritically, I know what should be done but sometime I just don't practice what I know 感觉有心无力. That's bad I know that's why I feel sorry for my girls sometime that I don't spend enough time with them and leave the maid to do thing for them.
Looks like I have to face more changes ahead of me!

One Year Seven months

So fast my Qi Yu is gonna be one year seven months old tommorrow. This little girl of mine is such a sweet heart. I just loves her.
Shae has grown taller and her has got more teeth now. She can speak quite well for her age. Many have commented that her words are very clear, even stranger can understand her sentence. She speaks in simple sentences nowadays. She will compete with her jie jie and learning the concept of "be number 1." She can sings lots of songs now. But she will not sing for you if she don't want to. She has a mind of her own.
Her favourite phases at the moment are "I don't want", "No", "Mummy Up". I loves to hear her speak and sing songs. Her voice is so soft and sweet, really will melt your heart especailly when she put her arm around me and say "i love you mummy". That really make my day.
One thing she dislike is ZZZZZZZZz. Each night, when is time to sleep, she would try to delay and fight to stay up as late as she can. She only goes to sleep at 10pm nowadays. Her afternoon nap often is cut down to one, only sometime she would take two naps.
Still quite a shy girl. When there is some people whom she is not very familiar, she would be very quiet and stick to me. Still would not let other people hold her except immediate family members.
Still loves to imitate her jiejie in whatever she does. Weight wise still pretty much the same but definitely grwon taller.
she is a sweet darling.
