evi's prayer

this is evi's prayer

tank que God for ser food (this is very important!! and always her opening prayer line, even when we are ready for bed and nite nite...its still the food.)
bess my mommy
bess my ellisa
bess my house
bess my popo
bess my kong kong... (u get the flow- her list of blessing is pretty long)
then mommy says in Jesus's name
she will sign and say a.....men

evi is turning 2

everyone is surprised that she is not turning 3 or 4, but she is only turning 2.

they kept asking mommy...u sure...so long only 2 years old. she's so matured and talks like "auntie" that everyone thot she is waaaay older.

she gets her way...coz she is too cute to say "NO" to. with her cherubic smile and curly locks, its almost impossible to deny her anything especially with her pleeezzz and kisses.

of cos we scold her non-stop cos she is a non-stop mischief girl. but she also has her magic to make all of you melt....scold her severely (she knows we mean business) and she immediately open up her arms, hugs you and say..."i lub yooo" other times (when not so serious) she will change subject and talk about something else or try to say something stooopid to make you laugh...

miss cheeky (with a twinkle in her eye and those bouncy curls) will go a long way...love u soooooo much!

baby 88 weeks old

love to bathe
she would say "i wan shuong liuong"or "batz"
if i ignore her
she would add "peessss mommiiiiii peeesss"
she would start pulling off her clothes
"take out sam" or "open open" then say "pantz" "take out pantz"

her vocab is quite amazing. her weight is too = 14+ kg

the trouble is this "shuong liuong" request happens every time she goes to my room - sometimes she end up having many many baths a day...either a water baby or a screaming baby...for sanity sake-i chose "batz peesssss"

she call popo - SAM

the girls

school ended, girls are happy, looking forward to days without home work.

erika did improve a lot from her first semester, but still need lots of help with her languages. gonna stop her music lessons for a while - she lost her first love for her piano and i wanna "psycho" her to find it back. will start lessons for elli instead and see if erika gets inspired to pick up.

elli got perfect score for her test - which came as a surprise to one who answered " i dunno" to all my questions on her school work. she love writing numbers and alphabets but find chinese characters really tough.

yee ma starting erika on swimming lessons - but elli the opportunist, sneaked into her car and jumped into the pool. erika had to coax into the pool by elli, after half the lesson was over. ku ma bought the girls robes and caps and googles, all smiles for shopping.

evira is the cutest ever with curly locks and if she does anything wrong - and whenever we demand her to say sorry, she will sign "sorry" by putting her little chubby hands on her head. with the sorry look and quickly give u a "tum kuat" (massage). she can call all of us...the last she called is kong kong, but she boss him around the most, coz she knows he let her wins all the time.

synn and jern - as usual - did their parents proud with their exceptional results, so lucky wan!

here is the last photo taken by daddy of the "gang of 6"

elli's dream

after waking up from her afternoon nap, elli told this to popo. and she has been repeating this story so vividly to everyone.

i saw daddy wake up, and the workers open the door (?) and he come out from the box.

he saw a lot of flowers and take all the flowers and go home to plant them.

he come home and kiss me, Erika, baby, mommy and everybody.

everybody say "hoooray" because my daddy wake up already

we love daddy and we always want daddy to stay with us.

elli said that this was the REAL daddy

she saw him surrounded by white (showing me with her hands) and that there was a white round fat thing on his head. he look very handsome. the white thing stop daddy from coming back.

she sort of expressed that daddy's face was glowing - white thing!!

jesus told daddy sorry because he cannot go back.

she said the "bluff" daddy was in the box and the "REAL" daddy was with Jesus.

he will never ever die again.

i love u daddy

daddy said bye bye

he is going to heaven


after this dream, elli has found her joy again...we are so blessed to have her.


update 6 august
erika also dream about her daddy.

she said she was walking into the house, she heard daddy's voice, she ran in and saw him sitting on the day bed. they hug and kissed...then she woke up.

i also dreamt of daddy.

his cousin also-and he saw him wake up!!

my sis saw him at the funeral, he was singing with us (don moen cd ~ rivers of joy was playing) and told her - dun worry, he will take care of everything.

report card

elli had report card day last saturday and erika will be today.

we went for elli's and didn't go for erika's.

elli is doing well in school, teacher says she can stand up for herself very well - which translates to she can fight with the boys or pick a quarrel if the occasion arises...yahooo....way to go, guuurrrrl!! so proud of your vocal abilities and your gutsi-ness. elli loves to play with boys only (if she has a choice) and girls if there are no boys around.

as for erika it's not that I am not proud of her achievements...it sometimes border on the brink of "embarrassment"...but am glad that she is not taking it badly or suffering from low self-esteem. in fact she loudly proclaim she is number 35 in a class of 37. i scratch my head!! we have tried all works even bribery...used to say if u get 20 and above, we take u to disneyland....now we gotta say if u get 35 and above...coz we really wanna go!! she is just an excuse to pack our bags. what crazy parenting is this??

i seriously have no clue what is happening in erika's head...her teachers have been telling us from 3 years old till now that she's one word - "dreamy". when will she wake up? i dunno, this sleeping beauty need to awaken with a potent kiss.

update 24 June
erika showed us her report card - she's not 35 but 34 in a class of 38!!

baby turned 1

well she turned one on 28 April...celebrated on labour day...in rememberance of all the labour mommy went thru and is still going thru!!

small teeny weeny party amongst family only.

our birthday girl took to the limelight and perform on the piano - to the delight of everyone, reading the "notes" and turning the pages and playing the keys - multi-tasking!! she is still maintaining her beautiiifoool figure.

her che che helped her blow off the "only" candle.

she has 4 teeth and is starting to bite us...especially our feet. yuucks! she never bite when she had 3 teeth...?? wonder why?

starting her separation anxiety stage...croc tears when she sees anyone leave without bringing her "kai kai" (along).

bunny teeth

finally, its coming...after 5 long years of waiting, worrying if it will every make its grand appearance and quiet prayers. we were estatic when the top left front tooth pop out, but the right one took it's own sweeeet time.


now comes the nagging broken record - "go brush your teeth" "have you brush?" "go brush now!!"


actually this happened last month...eh now only record coz so many things happened in April/May...
