A BB for Vyktore

Posted on by

I don’t know why, but of late, I have been writing alot about Vyktore. Probably I start feeling guilty cause I’ve not wrote much bout him as I should :( .

My dearest Vyktore, you are one very loving & special boy. Sometimes, I wonder if he is from another male planet, cause he’s so different…he expresses his love towards his toys in different way. Not that I have another boy to compare with, but if your boy at home does this too, please raise your hand ;) .

He has got this *Ugly Looking* doll that he calls BB. He brings him everywhere he goes…from KL, to Vietnam, to hawker stalls, to restaurants, to roadside, to taxi…well, basically everywhere. It even dropped on the floor, but he refused to let me wash it *yucks*. Mr. Hon is not very pleased with him holding a doll, but well, at least it’s a boyish looking doll, not a barbie doll :P .

He hangs on to BB’s leg very hard that we can’t take it away from him.

When he couldn’t find his BB in Vietnam, he asked me this:

Vyktore: Mahmi, where’s my BB?
Mommy: I don’t know, you try look around..

And the next thing was the most hilarious thing I’ve ever heard from him…

Vyktore: BB..where are you? *as he flips the blanket and look underneath*
Vyktore: There…I found BB.

LOL..my son!!!

Not enough with having a BB, he also loves to line up his animals side by side and cover them with blanket. Then he’d lie next to them and drink his milk.

Yup…here’s a pic of BB with 3 animals. Crocodile is one of his favourite toy too. He does this every other night before he tucks himself under the blanket with his milk. Then he’d hold them and fall asleep with them.

Vyktore is afterall…a very special boy of ours :) .

Note: BB & animals aside, he loves boy stuff too e.g. robots, trains, cars. But no signs of him liking any door hardware stuff.

Siblings Reading Time

I’m really glad that despite hubby & me are not very hardworking in nurturing reading with my kids, they love reading a lot. Due to this, I promise to myself that no matter how late it is, and how tired it is, we always have story time every night. 1 book each. Of course, I spend alot money as well, purchasing Scholastics Books for them, which they love it very much. Their school has Scholastic School Program where books are real cheap, and the stories are very enjoyable too :) . Sometimes when they are bored, they will dig out all the books and read themselves. Without me asking them to do so.

Sometimes they keep reading the same book till I can even memorise every page O.o. And they can narrate the story themselves too haha…that shows how much they love the book.

she looks like a teacher here don’t she :)

One day I overheard Faythe reading to Vyktore..their nursery rhymes book. It’s really heartwarming when I heard this, hence I sneak over and took some pics of them. And they didn’t bother bout me. I always love moments like this. It makes me feel as though all my hardwork has finally paid off. They love each other, teach each other. And they are not fighting over the same book LOL. Yes, sometimes they do fight to read the same book O.o.

Indeed I’m very proud of Faythe as a sister. Whenever Vyktore does his homework reluctantly. She’d volunteer to sit beside him and try to teach him, which I always tell her not to. Then she will use a blank paper and draw up boxes and pretend to do homework together with him so that he finishes his. She’s so loving and the way she encourages Vyktore is really amazing.

> Time for cleansing <

Been eating so much recently and there’s alot rice in my food. Simply can’t skip rice cause I can’t find any other food :( . Sad to say that my plans to reduce my food intake is not working right now. I simply do not have the discipline. Maybe I just gotta go for colon cleanse one time finish the job instead of daily dieting.

> Immigration <

Posted on by

During my travel to Jakarta recently, I realised that the Immigration Officer did took longer than usual to look at my passport. Maybe I’ve been going in and out of this country so often, they must be suspecting that I might be smuggling stuff into this country or vice versa. I actually took a peek at their screenm out of curiosity haha…I don’t think they do a international background check on me :) .

Having a son…

…means I have to know all means of transportation.

…means I have to know the names of all type of fishes.

…means I have to know what are the different type of dinosaurs.

…means I have to know all the different types of Shark & Whale family.

Cause that is what Vyktore loves most.

photo taken during our trip to HCM last year. HCM Zoo. When he say this, he ran there and requested a photo to be taken.

Vyktore is in a very chatty phase currently. Not only that, he loves to ask question to reassure that we are giving him consistent correct answer.

Annie bought this book for him that is full of fishes & even numbers. He love this book to bits & he remembers all the name of the fishes & sea creatures in the book. Read till a few of the pages are missing O.o.

Conversations on sea creatures

Vyktore: Mahmi, what fish is this?
Mommy: What is this? Harlequin Tuskfish.
Vyktore; Yay..This fish got blue teeth. Don’t bite people one.
Mommy: Ya, don’t bite people.

Vyktore: Mahmi, what fish is this?
Mommy: This is Parrot Fish.
Vyktore: Yay…Parrot Fish eat coral

Vyktore: Mahmi, this is Sord (Sword) Fish.
Mommy: Yes..swordfish.
Vyktore: This one poke people one…poke poke poke (he did a poking action with his hand)

Vyktore: Mahmi, this is Yau Yue.
Mommy: This is Octopus. Say Octopus.
Vyktore: No, it’s yau yue.

Vyktore: Mahmi, this is killer whale. This is leopard shark. This is blue whale.

And he goes on and on verifying all the sea creatures.

When he doesn’t know the name, he’d insist I name it, he will not he happy if I just call it fish O.o. Help, I need a fish encyclopedia.

He doesn’t like to go to school still :( . So I’ve been trying to tell him that if he doesn’t cry for a fair amount of days, I will buy him a big shark.

So each day, while on our way to school, here’s our conversation:

Mommy: Vyktore. Today go school don’t cry OK. Everyone also go to school. Jie Jie, Gabriel…
Vyktore: Raphael also go..
Mommy; Ya, Raphael too :) . So you don’t cry, you clever boy OK.
Vyktore: Yay…Afterwards Mommy buy big shark for you (me).
Mommy; Yes..only if you don’t cry for x days, but this morning you wake up you cry woh..

A mother of 5!!

At the age of early 30s & being a mother of 2, I often get questions asking me if I ever gonna have no. 3. Certainly not at the moment. Having 2 kids which are only 18 months apart is already keeping my hands full. I can’t imagine I have another 1 or 2, though the perfect situation is 2 boys & 2 girls.I don’t want another child and either Faythe or Vyktore will have no companion to play with. Kinda pity lehh…

Anyway, I don’t need to give birth to 4 kids to experience being a mother of 4 :P . Had the chance of doing that few weeks ago before CNY, when Sue drop her kids off at my place (together with her Mom who helps to take care of Jolie) while she cleans up her newly renovated house with her maid.

It was crazy in the house LOL. All 5 of them busy entertaining themselves. Ivan & Faythe plays very closely together. While Izac & Vyktore more on their own. But Vyktore is not very generous person and at times when they took his toys to play he’d fussed.

Jolie of course still too young to fight, but she defended herself well too.

In the end I thought, I better bring them out for a break before Sue’s Mom & me go nuts LOL.

1st thing, is to put Vyktore to sleep. He’s very tired from the looks of it, within minutes he KO-ed.

Then, I told the other 3 to follow me out. I’ll bring them to McD for some ice cream.

Managed to park my car without any problem, but ordering the sundaes was a total mess. Mother of 3 (at that time), failed. I was actually very worried cause they were all over the place and I’m worried they got kidnapped by strangers. Paranoid mother :P .

Got them to sit down and eat their sundaes.

Faythe & Ivan was pretty easy. They were happily entertaining each other and eating. Even up to the extend of teaching each other how to roll tongue O.o.

Izac, he didn’t want the wafer. Only ate the Ice Cream.

After finishing the ice cream, I took them back home and rested a while before Sue came over.

Seriously, taking care of 3/4 kids at the same age is not easy. I really salute those Mommy that has more than 2 kids with a close age gap.

Mental note to myself that I will not go for no. 3 LOL. I have enough on my plate :) .

> Regenerist Product <

Posted on by

Often I watch TV, and I see this olay regenerist Serum they talk about on the ad. It looks quite interesting to me and makes me wonder how this Serum work? How can it regenerate dead cells within such a short timeframe? I never tried this before, but based on what I’ve heard from some friends, it works like miracle O.o.

> Extra fat <

Posted on by

Thinking how I can reduce body fat over my waist…sigh. Realise that the spare tyre been building up of late O.o. Must be sitting around too much looking at the computer screen. I recently found out that my co has badminton session every Monday. High time for me to move myself back to burn some extra kilos..at the same time to maintain my health once more. I still want to be chasing after my kids when I’m 40!!

> Fixing my dark circles <

Posted on by

I have really bad dark circles around my eyes, sometimes it seems like I put eye shadow on :P . All this thanks to late night work, taking care of kids etc. Again, tried and tested many products, but so far nothing that works significantly. Maybe cause I still continue to have lack of sleep, so no point applying all those cream. I must go do some research to find out what actually causes deark circles under eyes and any other way to improve them apart from applying cream.
