So long never update my blog, such a busy and busy day n night I have. we will soon celebrate the Christmas in 6 more weeks and 7 more weeks for New Year. So, how about the Chinese New Year? Sure is 10 more weeks only!

This Sunday, I have an important event to attend! That's my dear son, Nelson graduation ceremony. Time really flies...Really can't imagine my son is already 6 years old. He will be in standard one next year. Next year 2012 will be a busy year some more because I need to accompany Nelson to school and guide his homework.

Hopefully he can mix around with his new friends next year!

Giselle 2 Years Old Birthday Party

noreply@blogger.com (Hazel) — Mon, 09 May 2011 06:57:00 +0000

My dear princess is now 2 yeard old already. See, she looks like 4 years old girl. She likes to drink soup and eat vegetables not like Nelson boy seldom takes up green food.

Yesterday, Mother's Day I sam my Mom photo with Giselle had posted up in the NTV 7 in the talkshow but i really don't participate in any contest. They had grabbed my photo in my blog, isn't this funny!

My dear princess received many toys on that day. She loves the cooking kitchen set from her Uncle. My girl is really bad-tempered now, I have no special ways to deal with her. I think I will send her to school soon because it's only a good way to cultivate good moral value in her soul.

Merry Christmas & Happy New Year

noreply@blogger.com (Hazel) — Wed, 22 Dec 2010 06:08:00 +0000

We went to KLCC Aquarium last Sunday with my lovely dad and mom. They enjoyed the trip that day. Nelson and Giselle saw a lot of fish in that aquarium. My niece Andria followed us together she is one year older that Giselle.

Latest look of Baby Giselle, Chubby face.

Nelson received 2 medal on that night, one is the first prize in English Writing Competition and one is the Consolation prize for the whole participation. He is growing fast and mind his outlook very much. He knows how to match up his shirt and pants. He always wants me to buy him jeans and others accesories.

Nelson felt happy at that night because it was his first time received awards on the stage. I think it will be a good start for him in his study in the future.

At last, I am going to wish all my lovely blogger's friend a Merry Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!!!!

Where is Your Destination?

noreply@blogger.com (Hazel) — Tue, 23 Nov 2010 14:05:00 +0000

All of us know now is school holiday, so where is your destination? As for me, I don't have go elsewhere because there is no one to look after my kids. Maybe have to wait another year for me to fly over the sea to see another world.

Even we don't have a trip to oversea, I will make my holidays fulfil and happy. First of all, I had registered a swimming course for Nelson during this holidays. I am scared whether he can cope with this new skill next month....I am scared like last time, he refused to join the TEKWONDO class after I registered for him. Hopefully, he can be smart in the swimming lesson.

So, we will surely have a short trip to KL again for the Christmas time. Hubby will bring us to the KLCC aquarium because my little princess, Giselle loves to see fish.

Besides, I will busy attending training in KL. Really don't have any time to take a REST!!!

My Sweetie Pie

noreply@blogger.com (Hazel) — Thu, 23 Sep 2010 05:37:00 +0000

Her round shape face, I think it's hard to be a "V" shape face after she is growing up. Together with her flat nose, the most ugly part. Her eyes too, without double lid and it's too small. Such an ugly duckling.

She is playing with my hairband. Once she gets any of my accessary, she will try it and never return in good condition. She is a spoil master. It's fun to play with her if she is in the good mood. When she is in bad mood, she will throw anything I give it to her on the floor. She is really an impatient kid. Even the Doctor also scared of her, she will cry loudly before she enter to the clinic and keeps struggling with me. I still remembered the doctor praised her is a smart girl because she keeps closing her mouth even she is crying, during the time the doctor wanna to check her throat.

My sweetie pie in now 17 months and 10 days. She loves to dress herself beautifully and then tell people "mei mei" ( pretty ). After I tied up a pony for her, sure she will see herself by facing the mirror. She is learning to talk now, she will always asked "Papa" when she wakes up at the Nanny house. She will shout at me "Miya, Mimi" in nervous situation. About the words "Ah Mak", she can only pronouce it in "Mamak". Her sweet voice really can melt ones heart.

HappyBirthday to Nelson

noreply@blogger.com (Hazel) — Mon, 20 Sep 2010 03:14:00 +0000

Today, my dear son turns 5 years old. Really can't imagine he is now 5 years old. He is such a fussy boy, seldom eat vegetables at home but he takes vege in school. Every teachers praised him is a clever and obedient boy, but for me he is sometimes quite naughty at home.

He is now able to write chinese words very well and read the whole story book. He loves drawing and reading. He likes swimming too but I haven't have time to bring him to swimming lesson.

Lastly, Happy Birthday to my dear dear son, hopefully he is growing well and be a good manner man in the future.

Spelling...ling...

noreply@blogger.com (Hazel) — Thu, 19 Aug 2010 08:50:00 +0000

Nowadays, Nelson has to study his spelling 3 times a week, one for BM, one for BI and Chinese.
He is only 5 and I am wonder it's too early for kids to do spelling??? Every morning, he will show me a sour face and mention that he cannot score 100%. I told him it's OK if you don't get full marks, but you must try your best next time.

Besides teaching at the primary school for Olympiad Maths, and my own centre, the thing that makes me feel headache and stomachache is to teach Nelson to study his spelling. When I teach him spelling, I really put out all my heart and soul and full of patient. Still remember last week the spelling words are tiger, frog, cow and one more " CROCODILE". Oh, my God, he is angry there and give up learning such a long word.

Today, again the words are wasp, moth, beetle and " LADYBIRD". I know he will not get 100% mark today the word "ladybird" he can only spell till "LAD.......". SIGH!!!!

Sad Story....

noreply@blogger.com (Hazel) — Wed, 28 Jul 2010 04:18:00 +0000

Today, many unwanted cases happen in my life. Really don't have mood to go through another 8 hours for today. Life is really frustrated and fed up sometimes.

What can I do? My former teacher who is still keep in touch with me also asked me to be patient and don't give up. Thank you so much for her support.

Can I settle it????

Still Blogging??

noreply@blogger.com (Hazel) — Wed, 14 Jul 2010 06:25:00 +0000

Still Blogging? Haha....yes, still blogging but not a full time blogger or a part time blogger. Now, I will only blog once in a blue moon. I rarely online now because 24 hours a day for me is not enough. I have only own 2 hands but many things are waiting for me to settling them down.

Life is pretty good lately. Hubby had finally found a good paid job. Higher position, higher paid one sure thing is higher tension. Like me, have to in charge everything at home, have to teach as a home teacher to Nelson ( seldom do it now ), have to take care of all my students result, sigh!!! REALLY tire and feel breathless. The most tire thing is I need to chase money like "AH LONG" for those who are paying their fees late, some of them are unwilling to pay even they know they had debt for 2 months fees. How???It is really embarrassed to ask for the tuition fees.

One good new is I had lost 3 kg recently after I gave birth to Giselle. I need to continue my hard work till end of this year. My target is 7 kg more to lose. But, it's quite pity for me because i can't pamper myself with all the delicious food in Melaka.

Birthday Party

noreply@blogger.com (Hazel) — Wed, 02 Jun 2010 07:43:00 +0000

Tang!Tang! This tricycle is one of Giselle's present. She loves it so much. Sometimes, she will lost the control and fall down. Her Grandma gave her a gold bracelet on that day.

One her birthday, Grandma is using the old culture to decide what will Giselle girl be in the future. Grandma put red eggs, "ang ku kuih", book, calculator, pen and others on a big plate. See, she is thinking what to choose. Before she took the red eggs, I already know she will definitely choose the red eggs because her brother Nelson too choose d it when he was one year old.

Haha, she really take the red eggs.

This is her birthday cake on that day. I myself found this cake very beautiful and well decorated.
Isn't it???

Mother's Day Celebration

noreply@blogger.com (Hazel) — Sun, 09 May 2010 13:46:00 +0000

My Dear MOM and Baby Giselle

Today is a day full of celebration. We have double celebration today. First, is my hubby birthday according to the Chinese lunar calendar. Of course another celebration will be Mother's Day which we are celebrate it once a year.

Morning, I had cooked Vermicelli to my dear hubby. Although I am not a good cook, the soup base vermicelli I cooked today is quite tasty. Giselle and Nelson love the soup so much. Another special dish is " RED EGG". In Chinese tradition, we need to prepare the red colour egg to the birthday prince or birthday queen hopefully they will have good luck in the future.

Last month, my hubby cooked vermicelli for me also. The food he cooked is always tasteless. I asked Nelson who is a good cook. Since Nelson is smart in answering this type of tricky question, he often said both of us are good cook.

So, what we do during the afternoon session? We went for a High Tea Buffet at Century Mahkota Hotel, an unforgettable hotel in my lifetime because that is the place hubby and I held our wedding there 6 years before. 6 years after, we have 2 lovely kids. My mom loves the Nyonya kuih there. She too eats a lot to day.

My boy, Nelson had prepared 3 presents for me during my 5th Mother's day celebration. One is a cup cake, one flower and one mummy face. He did these in his school and his art class. I am planning to send him to join the Robotic Class soon.

This my cute princess, Giselle. I am waiting for her present for my next Mother's Day. I think she still can't do anything for me next year, maybe have to wait 2 more years. Everybody loves to "cubit" her when they saw her in the shopping centre. She is really chubby and lovely.

As a conclusion, feeling that life is satisfied because I have a good mother, a good hubby who always support me, a naughty boy Nelson who always make me angry and laughter and a cute Princess that bring so much fun in my life.

The Danger of H1N1

noreply@blogger.com (Hazel) — Wed, 28 Apr 2010 04:30:00 +0000

Oh....my goodness, two of my kids take turn to have high fever. Giselle fever had just subsided yesterday, now the virus had invaded Nelson.

When I brought them to Pantai Hospital, there was really crowded. The doctor told me that if the fever had not subside in 2 days time, they will be suspected diagnosed with H1N1. I almost fainted to look after 2 of my lovely kids.

Since I had fired my maid, I sent Giselle to baby sitter home again. The baby sitter is so scare, she told me not to send Giselle there if she really got H1N1. See, everyone is so scare about this.

Most of the school in Malacca have cancel all the outdoor activities due to this H1N1. Hopefully the virus will soon leave our country. So, we better do much precaution to prevent H1N1.

Happy Birthday to Giselle

noreply@blogger.com (Hazel) — Wed, 14 Apr 2010 03:15:00 +0000

Today, Giselle turn 1 year old. How times flies..... Sometimes, I really can't believe I am a mother of two kids. When I see her cry, I really don't know how to deal with her, but see her smile and try to call " Ma Ma", the feeling is hard to describe.

Giselle loves to play with her hand phone lately, every other things she gets if in rectangle shape, she will out it near to her ear and said, " Papa, Papa". What a up-to date kids. Besides, my Nelson boy also request to buy a hand phone. He told me that he can call me up if he miss me at school. Kids are now very cunning, we as a parents must be cunning than them.

Actually, I didn't hold a party to Giselle because we will be going back to "Kampung" for the 1 year old celebration. It's good to have party there because everyone can help especially my big sister-in-law is always so kind to prepare all the things.

I had bought her a pair of new shoes, a beautiful hat and a pretty dress. Soon after, I will post it out.

Do you know what I had done last month? I had fired my maid last month because I think she does thing in slow motion and cannot take good care of Giselle. So, I had sent her back and take back small part of my MONEY.

Lastly, wish my lovely daughter have a Happy Birthday here. Papa, Mama and Kor kor love you so much...

11 months old

noreply@blogger.com (Hazel) — Tue, 30 Mar 2010 02:43:00 +0000

Giselle is 11 and half month old. That means she will turn 1 year old in the next month. So, I am now planning what to do to celebrate her birthday. Hubby said we are too busy lately and will not hold a party at home. Giselle is now very boyish, crawling here and there and is trying to walk.

She doesn't like to play with her toy I buy but likes to play all the others items at home like chairs, newspaper, handbag and......Why? I am wonder. Maybe I need to send her to attend the Montessori Class soon.

Hazel's Day !

noreply@blogger.com (Hazel) — Thu, 18 Mar 2010 08:11:00 +0000

Tomorrow, Friday 19 March will be my personal DAY. I would like to call it Hazel’s Day, haha. I will only do the thing I like tomorrow; I will go for a SPA and facial. Next, going for shopping and have a tea break, a cup of special brew cappuccino and slice of favourite cake. Hmmm, this is our dream day which means we will not doing any household chores and rushing to finish a pile of paper work.

Actually, I do have a lot of unfinished task but I told myself I must spend some pleasure time to pamper myself.

Well, anybody who will like to join me???

Olympiad Maths

noreply@blogger.com (Hazel) — Tue, 16 Mar 2010 04:28:00 +0000

I had attended the courses of Olympiad Maths lately. This is really a tough subject for students but once they follow the lesson for couple of times, surely they will be benefited.

For those who gets good result for all the competition, certificate will be given. Once you owns all the certificate, you are able to get scholarship to study oversea.

As a Melaka site, Olympiad Maths tutor, I need to try my best to teach all my students, hoping one day they can get a medal for the international competition.

Chinese New Year Festival

noreply@blogger.com (Hazel) — Mon, 08 Feb 2010 06:19:00 +0000

Chinese New Year celebration will soon approaching. Everyone is so happy to celebrate this most grandly festival. Nelson keeps asking how many days to go for this festival. Besides, he demanded to have many new clothes like Giselle girl and me. I myself bought a lot of new clothes this year. Still remember I was pregnant last year and don't have much pretty dress due to the weight gain.

Lately, I was so busy for tidy up my sweet home, cleaning and packing for " Balik Kampung" trip. Luckily, my maid arrived and she helps me a lot. I am now very in dilemma because Giselle girl don't like the maid. She will cry aloud when I leave her with the maid just only for 2 minutes. I must make use this festival holidays to let her be friend with the maid, so I can bring Giselle girl back which I mean Giselle girl will not go for Baby Sit anymore. Hopefully, all went well.

Yesterday, we went to Jusco Bandaraya Melaka, which is a new shopping mall in town. It is the biggest shopping complex in Melaka. But, if compare to Kuala Lumpur, it still small and don't have many others branded outlet. Tonight, we will be going out to Jonker Street Melaka to see the biggest Lion troupes in town.

One good news is Nelson had been choose to be the class monitor, I was wondering why the teacher choosed him because he is not really a smart boy. He is so naughty and sometimes make me angry.

Lastly, wish all of you have a Happy Chinese New Year, may the God of Prosperity come to our home this year. haha!

School Reopen Day

noreply@blogger.com (Hazel) — Wed, 06 Jan 2010 06:03:00 +0000

Nelson had continue schooling from Monday, which is our Malaysia school reopen day. He wakes up early at the morning everyday now. He likes schooling. He always tells me and hubby that he is now entered to the Five Years Old class, sound like love to be the elders one in school.

I had make a mistake before the school reopen day. I didn't check whether his uniform is still fit for him or not. As usual, he wears his 4 years old uniform to school. When he is back home, he told me that " Mummy, my uniform is very tight,I cannot dance well by put up my hands." Only then, I realized that his uniform is really small for him.

The next day, I had ordered another bigger size uniform for him. Besides, he told me that there are 2 others kids also have the same Ben 10 school's bag. So, I need to put a key chain for him. This will be more easier for him to recognize his school bag.

Sob! SOB !

noreply@blogger.com (Hazel) — Wed, 23 Dec 2009 07:14:00 +0000

Ten days didn’t update my blog. What I am busy for? Sigh!!! My study room is loaded with plenty of works. I am so scare to sit inside the room because don’t know which to start first and when will all the works being done.

This month I am so busy attending my course every Sunday in Kuala Lumpur. Last Saturday, I had gone shopping at the Mid Valley Megamall, but buy nothing. SOB! SOB! So sad! The shopping mall is so crowded and all the car park was fully occupied. We waited outside for chance; luckily we rounded inside the car park, zone C and waited for about 20 minutes to get a car park.

I didn’t bring Giselle along because I wish to have some shopping time for myself but I still need to help my youngest sister to look after her daughter, my youngest niece. She is quite naughty too, doesn’t want to sit in her stroller, wanted to walk with us, running here and there. So, end up I didn’t done much shopping.

Yesterday was the Winter Solstice Festival. I helped my mom for making glutinous rice ball. Nelson loves this festival celebration so much because he likes eating glutinous rice ball mix with ginger soup. There will be no countdown for Christmas Eve in Portuguese Settlement, Melaka this year. So, we will not going to visit the settlement this year.

Lastly, I am here to wish my entire buddy to have a merry Merry Christmas and the Happy New Year! Wish all of you have a healthy body and happy life in the following year.

8 Months Old.

noreply@blogger.com (Hazel) — Mon, 14 Dec 2009 05:48:00 +0000

Giselle is turning 8 months old today. She is now likes to try solid food like bread, biscuit and soup. She can sit steadily but sometime may fall down if she try to grab something she wanted. My hands will feel pain on every Monday because I need to hug her during the weekend. Do you know why? She is now a 11 kg baby girl. She is a big big girl. I already gave away her "M" size diaper and now the "L" size diaper also seems tight for her.

Last Saturday, when we have our dinner, a stranger try to talk to her. After a few minutes, she cried loudly. This aunty is quite "KPC" because she said Giselle should keep fit during her adult age and mentioned that she is too fat.

She is now able to mention "mum mum" ( food ) is not "Mummy" and can ask " Pa Pa". She is our sweet heart and dear princess.

Weekend Activity.

noreply@blogger.com (Hazel) — Wed, 09 Dec 2009 02:19:00 +0000

Two days didn’t touch the computer. Two days didn’t reply all my lovely mail. Why? I also doesn’t know what had happen? Maybe the poor networking or my computer had already old enough?

Hubby and I had attended a training last Sunday in Cheras, Kuala Lumpur. During my trip, I had only spent 30 minutes to have a cup of coffee and some toast in Sunway Pyramid. When I was there, I really can feel the Christmas celebration is around. All the decoration is so beautiful and really attractive. I found a new fun activity there, we have chances to see the dolphin and sea lions show near Sunway Pyramid.

My dad and my mom do follow me because they need to help me to look after Nelson. We sent them to my younger sister house near Subang. So, how about Giselle? I sent her to the nanny house. It’s really hard for me to attend any classes now because nobody takes care of my kids.

The duration of the course is 3 months. So, I had planned to bring Giselle to Kuala Lumpur this week because the nanny have to go to Singapore for her holidays trip. Just scare she can’t be familiar with new places and make noise there.

Latest Kid's Ride

noreply@blogger.com (Hazel) — Thu, 03 Dec 2009 04:59:00 +0000

During my last trip going back to my hubby hometown, we only have a short trip to BP Mall. My niece, Qi Qi said this a new ride for kids. It's strawberry in shape. The colours too are very attractive. It's expensive, RM 3 for each child. This rides ended in about 5 minutes time.

As for me, not doing much shopping because I have to look after Giselle. Since the Christmas is coming soon, I do hope to have a shopping trip to Kuala Lumpur. Nelson and Giselle already have many new clothes for the coming Chinese New Year, so I only need to purchase some fancy dress for myself.

When mention about Christmas, everybody moods is so happy and full of joy. We can hear Christmas songs everywhere, a lot of pretty decoration too can cheer up our mood. This month will full of activities to go through, I think I will perm my hair soon. Woman hair is always not much changing, either straight hair or perm hair.

Very soon, the year 2009 will be ended. Is there still have any important thing you buddies haven't done? It will soon be the start of the new year.

Olympic Mathematics

noreply@blogger.com (Hazel) — Thu, 26 Nov 2009 05:54:00 +0000

Have you ever hear about Olympic Mathematics? Olympic Mathematics is now very famous in Kuala Lumpur and Johor. Olympic Mathematics is a useful Mathematics subject which can help students to think logically in Mathematics. This sure will help all the students when they step into secondary school or higher level of education.

Not all the students have chances to go through this subject, only the selected and the talented will have chance. Actually, this is quite unfair to those who are weak. They still have chance to learn it but till they reach higher level of this program, they will automatically give up because maybe their talented is not in learning Olympic Mathematics.

Olympic Mathematics is an international Mathematics. Every year, there are many competitions for students to take part. If they are really good, the company will send them to compete in foreign country. They are quite a number of students who already get scholarship studying at Singapore. So, how about the fees? I think it’s reasonable in this new globalization era.

Learning Olympic Mathematics is definitely better in learning mental arithmetic. If your children have the chance to go follow the lesson, don’t miss it. Hopefully this Olympic Mathematics will help our kids in learning Mathematics.

Maid, REALLY?

noreply@blogger.com (Hazel) — Tue, 24 Nov 2009 05:46:00 +0000

After struggle for a few months, I finally made up my mind to employ a maid. The agent said the Cambodia maid is much better than Indonesia one. So, we decided to have the Cambodia maid. The agent said we still need to teach the maid about 2 months and teach her some simple English. I am scare that she won’t take good care of my little princess.

It’s so hard to make this decision because everything has the advantages and disadvantages. If so, I no need to do so many household chores such as mopping, washing and so on. On the other hand, I will lose my freedom. I need to be at home every second or bring her and my girl for outing. In this, I really feel jealous with those who stay with their mom or mother-in-law. That is why we called them as “golden ages”.

In my sweet home, hubby and I have to settle everything by ourselves, we have no guidance from the elderly. Sometimes, really feel unconfident in doing something. After few more years, I think we will transfer back to Batu Pahat. I think I will miss my hometown everyday if this idea comes true.

Lastly, to all my blogger friends here, can guide me some useful ways to treat my maid?
