Parenting Politics (new) Families http://nina-asno.blogdrive.com/archive/51.html Sat, 29 Mar 2008 04:27:22 GMT As a Schlumberger wife, I've always been told by my hubby to always be prepared for a transfer. I never took it seriously. I know the International Mobile title on him (International Mobile or IM means that an employee must be able to move anywhere in the world in short notice) means that we can never get too comfortable in one place, he can be transferred anywhere the company needs him to be. But then, I never expected 'short notice' means THIS short! We had just finished packing up, working our way to get comfortable in a place called Bangkok (oh, sorry, I never updated in this blog...

I guess it's true after all,huh? Learning English is difficult. There is no egg in the eggplant, No ham in the hamburger, And neither pine nor apple in the pineapple. English muffins were not invented in England, and French fries were not invented in France. We sometimes take English for granted But if we examine its paradoxes we find that: Quicksand takes you down slowly Boxing rings are square, The quinea pig is neither from Guinea nor is it a pig And what about the noun roots of verbs? If writer writes, how come fingers don’t...

All the craziness at home, waking up late (me including) and playhouse disney almost all the time will be over. Tomorrow will be the start of a series of hectic days, waking up early to start breakfast, waking Amy to playschool, bathing, brushing teeth, making her eat her breakfast, then carrying Lisa, the baby into the car by myself and get Amy to school on time. And after that a series of grocery shopping, errands running, house cleaning, getting lunch ready and then it's time to pickup Amy from school. And do I have to start on the after lunch activity?...

I make friends much easier. Dengan siapa-siapa pun, I can berkawan nowadays. Paling-paling pun, my ice breaking ayat will be "dah berapa bulan anak you ni?" 2. Dulu-dulu I never had weight problem. Seriously, ok? Kalau tengok my wardrobe dulu-dulu kecik betul baju-baju kebaya .. sekarang of course la tak muat.. hehehehe.. 3.Dulu-dulu kalau dengar budak nangis sometimes can make me feel irritated. But now, when I hear children crying, or having tantrum, I feel sympathetic...

But I didn't have much time, with struggling my life back to normal, with these two precious lil girls. And plus the experience was kind of sad+traumatic+happy ending + all the feelings mixed together. But I'll try to put all these into words, hopefully I all the events will come back to me slowly... We went back to Malaysia a few days before I'm 36 weeks. I think maybe around Week 35.4 . So after we arrived in KL, the next 2 days we straight ahead went to Johor, to my...

I'm going to deliver my second baby in Malaysia again. Although deep in our hearts, we feel a little bit disappointed, because at first we would have loved to deliver a baby here in Vietnam, but then, due to the circumstances that the distance from Vung Tau to the hospital in Ho Chi Minh City is about 2 hours by car, and also there isn't anybody from Malaysia that could come and help us to babysit Emilia for a few days while I'm in labour, so we decided we have to go back to Malaysia .. We would have loved though to be able to deliver...

Yesterday Emilia's teacher remarked that Emilia is now developing and making a good progress. Yup, she can now listen to what the teacher tells her to do, follows instructions, and immitates and sing along with her teacher. And what makes me happier is that when the teacher was teaching numbers, and showed the number to the student, a few times Emilia was the first to answer... When the teacher showed number 10, she quickly shouted 'TEN!!!' .. and when the teacher showed number 8, she was the first one to answer too... Even the teacher was surprised.. I wasn't...
