How mad can she get?

Seth On SaucerMorning start off very dramatically. Mom was busy doing chores for us, sweeping, mopping, laundry. We are totally grateful for mom doing all these things (which we never expect her to) for us. The reason for her to come over to stay for the week is to enjoy being with BB Seth and not feel bored alone at home. Since I have yet to get a job, we can't let her babysit BB Seth till I earn my income. Being very practical.

Anyhow, after all the chores were done, mom was enthusiastically assembling the saucer. I walked out from bedroom and told her bluntly,

"Don't assemble the saucer yet. Edward will do it. He said don't let ah boy sit in the saucer as he wants to clean it."

Immediately, mom snapped! She said we are so particular. The saucer is cleaned by my eldest brother already and she cleaned it again with cloth this morning. Then the seat was washed and clean too. Suddenly, she said,

"I am not going to babysit your ah boy for you liao! you ask your mother-in-law to babysit him! You people are just so particular and picky!"

The scolding goes on and on....URRRGHHH!

I shut my mind and tell myself. WWJD? Calm calm....I went to prepare the bath for BB Seth and bathed him. After that, I went to living room only to realize that my mom had cried! Tell you, my heart breaks sia! Seeing her so, I kept my mouth shut. Thank God that noon came, mom is ok already and was playing happily with BB Seth. After i ate my lunch, I took a pail of dettol water and clean the saucer and assembled the seat. Since mom wanted BB Seth to sit, I just please her lor.

Since can make mom happy and get BB Seth occupied for awhile, I gladly do the job of cleaning the saucer. Didn't let Olive Tree know about the matter as don't want him to feel bad. Having said all, I have to be really careful how I phrase my sentences, in teochew, next time when I talk to my mom. She is getting so sensitive these days. But end of the day, I think she still loves us lots. Now, as a mother, I can fully comprehend that love can be so unreasonable, unconditional. I can imagine how wonderful Daddy God loves us and it's to the infinity.

Excerpt from What makes a good dad? By Max Lucado

Dear God,

Thanks for giving me a daddy. You knew just what I’d need! In case you need to make daddies for other kids, I thought you might like to know what I like best about the one you sent me:

A good dad ...
1. knows everything (like how to tie shoes and drive a car)
2. is really smart (he even knows where the wind goes after it blows through the trees)
3. has a forgiving heart (for when I mess up)
4. is loaded with patience, patience, patience (he probably won’t need it, but just in case...)
5. has a comfy lap and a big laugh (you understand about that, don’t you?)
6. tells me all about you and your son.

Your friend,
A Kid

Seth drools in saucer

P.S. I almost left out the best part! A good dad has real strong arms (to catch me when I fall. He says you’re just like that, too.)

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...

Doggy Poo

Seth's into this Korean Anime Craze now. He was so into Pororo for the past 2 weeks. Then last Thursday, he has a new fav, Doggy Poo . The Anime is quite a meaningful one and Seth enjoys watching it, he names the characters, he asked about the story line. The funny part of it is hearing him say, "Doggy Poo" with such a cuteness. The story tells the little ones and even us, adults, God has a good plan for all of us, no matter how insignificant we may think our lives are. Image courtesy from Wikipedia Tomorrow we are sending Seth for his review. Hope his lungs are cleared and the medication feeding days are over. It's really a great struggle to feed the little guy his Antibiotics. Even now, he can goes on and on repeating the word, "Anti-biotices". Compose a tune about it! Aiyo. :(

showing it differently

Sometimes, there are questions on my mind, on the love I have for Olive Tree or vice versa. How much we love each other? Ok, mushy....but that's the fact. Women in general will have such thoughts, whether the husbands still love the wives like courtship days, will the love ever change...blah blah blah... Maybe it's due to the fact that husband and wife have been staying together for so long, somehow or rather, might have taken each other for granted and will not express the love for one another that often which spurs such funny thoughts. However, my man has chosen the other ways to show me he still cares and loves me as much. For the little or big things that he do for the family and me. Olive Tree was in my scraproom last night, while I was in the living room watching Oprah. I thought he was doing some handywork for Grace's cabinets or something for Seth..... This morning, when I woke up, I went to my scraproom and this was what I saw besides my scrap table.... It's so...
