When I am hardworking

This is what I came upon and got me laughing non-stop...non-stop....kennysia.com: Pinku

My day starts like any other day but something horrendously funny happened.

Out of no reason, I was hardworking. Hardworking on cleaning up Seth's sterilizer with citric acid. So I did. Pour in the mixture of citric acid with 200ml water into the sterilizer and boiled it for 1-2 minutes. Leave to stand for 30 minutes. After that, poured away the mixture and sterilize the sterilizer with one cycle. Wipe away any residue. Voila, the sterilizer looks as good as new!!

So again, kay khiang, thinking that the electric kettle needs some sterilizing too, I did the same. I was doing the process while mom was taking her afternoon nap. I went out at 3pm to meet my friend for tea. Came back home at 4plus. Mom was awake. While I was again, hardworking, packing Seth's clothes drawers, mom was playing with Seth. Hardworking till mom finished her cooking, bathing and came into my room, I am still packing.

She said,"How come the electric kettle's water taste saltish?"

I said," HUH?? OH MY GOD!! That water cannot drink!!"

She said,"I used the water from the electric kettle to cook tomato fish and vegetables for dinner!"

I said,"Jia Lat! Cannot eat liao!"

She said,"I even took my medication with the water...."

I said, "......."(dumbfounded)

You have no idea how panic she looked when I told her the water can't be consumed. You have no idea, how I was "whacked" with words on my carelessness by leaving the water in the electric kettle and not pour it away. End I was blowing my top and ranting at Olive Tree (called him to get dishes for dinner since the fish and veg can't be eaten). Hiaz Hiaz....

I was really apologetic but at the moment, I am angry. Angry that why mom never use the tap water to cook vegetables and fish. Angry that I have filled 2 big flasks of water for her consumption and she drinks from the electric kettle. Angry....at my mistake for not pouring away the citric acid mixture. End up, wasted her efforts of cooking dinner and the delicious dishes she has whipped up for us.

Ain't I toot???

So much for being hardworking......

Jesus Loves Me

Seth woke up from his afternoon nap. He walked out of the bedroom and I was in the living room. Started to warm up a bit, and then he drove his fire engine truck around the living room. Next moment, here's what he was singing, Jesus loves me, yes I know, For the bible tells me noe, Didder one to him bidon, Yes, Jesus, loves me..... I thought I have heard wrongly, and he was repeating the song again and again. It's amazing for me. :) The effects of singing lullaby to your kid. They do remember!!! And can sing out almost 70% of the song, though the pronunciation may not be there for some words. But he gets the tune correct. It's so cute and heartwarming to hear that from my boy.

Updates....more updates

D-day for IRAS e-Filing! I am such an 11th hour person, that I manage to e-file my tax return last night. Anyway, I am not getting any income for year 2005. So it's totally easy for me to e-file. Clicking and clicking a few buttons and the e-file is done. However, it wasn't so smooth flowing for Olive Tree. WHY? Because he has forgotten his Singpass PIN and he has to get a new one. Worse part is, he can only get it today, since I am such a last minute work person, he'll have to mad rush into getting the PIN from the appointed places for SINGPASS application. I felt bad and I apologise. What to do with a wife like that? Just have to bite the bullet lor. Since last week test posting in the office is working well, I deem I should step up my blog update. Has not been very constant in updating my blog, be it the scrapblog or this. Feeling bad about it. Seth has been growing in tremendous speed! haha! That's obvious! He starts to enter the mimic stage where he'll mimic t...

How he has grown, so is she... and my work

Have been busy for most of the weekends, shopping, spring cleaning around the house, resting, working.... Seems to have so much to do and so little time now. For I am such a last minute person, still not able to do proper time management. Sad. About Seth Toddlerhood has been challenging. He shows his temperament, he speaks his mind, learns really quick, be it bad or good habits. At a stage, he can be such a good boy a day, the next day, he wants to get what he wants and relentless till he gets them. We can pull all our hair out and he still insist to have it his way. Coaxing, scolding, all we've tried..... indeed challenging. We have to be really patience and stick to a routine for him. No matter how tired I may be, I would stick to the regular routine of getting him to brush his teeth, clean his face, morning, night, nap when we are at home. Cos if he didn't get his deserving rest, we get our deserving tantrums from Seth. As usual, he will make us melt with his awesome silly s...
