Ms Difficult!

Ya, my little Piggy has became Ms Difficult!

Usually, Claire & I will stay overnight at my parents' place on Wednesday night as its Pirate King basketball night too. Last night, after giving Ms Piggy her last feed, i switched off the lights and slept with her.

As usual, she will roll about and sing before she s willing to settle down to sleep.... But for whatever reason, she refused to sleep and she crawled to the door (we will sleeping in an airconditioned room) and bang on it, like attempting to get out. Upon getting no reaction from me, she started to wail (FAKE CRIES) and it was loud..... Loud till Mum had to come over and pat her to sleep....

This morning, Mum complained to me about her antics. Mum put her to poo in the potty, she only poo a bit, she cried and attempted to stand up when Mum put her back on the potty. After a while, Mum seeing no more poo from Claire. She cleaned Claire's butt and went to the kitchen to do her stuff....

Guess what, Mum heard cries from Claire.... She went to take a look, my little Rascal had pooed a lot in her diapers. Mum was so angry that she smacked her butt. Claire wailed buckets and wanted Mum to carry her but Mum just ignored her cries and stuff.

Sigh, just dunno what to do with her......

Painful

I was on 1/2 day MC yesterday. For whatever reason, I feel the urge to puke and the greasy feeling in my stomach was enough to make me sick.

The first question that the doctor asked was,"Are you pregnant?" I almost fainted. Anyway, I m not pregnant. It seems that i have a lot of stomach air and its stress-related. Doc told me that I have to learn to relax and let go of things at work.

On the way home, my left side of my body became very stiff and painful. Its as if I can't move at all! So I had no choice but to go for a massage. After the massage, i was feeling better but still the pain is there....

Guess i gotta ignore my dumbo superior at work and relax!

New Jacket for Ms Piggy!



Got this new jacket for Ms Piggy! We were window shopping last night and came across this brand, DPAM at Raffles City Shopping Centre.

We need to get a new jacket for her coz she has outgrown those that we had bought for her/hand me downs.

Mum gave the ok for this jacket as the material is suitable for our weather and Claire looks very pretty in it! Only problem is, it costs $50... But i still go ahead and buy it for her. I had washed the jacket and will be ironing it tonight....

I must max this jacket before Ms Piggy outgrown it!

The sense of disgust is getting stronger

The sense of disgust with my boss is getting stronger by the day. And i must find a way to convert this disgust into a Taichi strength to push the shit that she piled over me back to her!

Last week, we had a deadline to submit to our head office in Hamburg. This idiotic superior of mine forced me to do an inhouse project, while the rest of my colleagues were busy doing the Hamburg stuff. Finally, i managed to finish the inhouse project but left with one day to complete the Hamburg task.

Finally, i managed to get the Hamburg task done. Guess what, today at 4.21pm, my DEAR SUPERIOR did and below is our conversation:

IB (idiotic boss): Josephine, here is a list of the stds that I need you to check and review it with me.
Me: Har, I did not have a copy of the calculations like what the rest has. As I was only left with one day to settle it before you submitted it to Hamburg leh.
IB: Then i think you have to re-work it from scratch and review it with me tomorrow morning coz i need to reply them (Hamburg) by tomorrow morning.
Me: Oh, okie (INSIDE BOILING WITH RAGE)

Sheesh, i felt like telling her, why dun u pass the things to me a 6pm instead. Due to the nature of the calculations, i had to run a pivot table and running this table takes up alot of time and stuff. So, i was just ranting to my colleague about how slow the system is....

Idiotic boss commented,"Josephine, why are u so grumpy today?" At that moment, felt like slapping her in the face!

Now, I FULLY UNDERSTAND WHY ALL MY EX-COLLEAGUES LEFT! Its just so disgusting to work with someone who does not know how to manage her time and prioritise her stuff. Also, provide the so called "Interesting" work does not add value to my growth and it just made all of us looked idiotic in the eyes of other departments!

Now, i just gotta hang on and look for greener pastures. The longer i stayed in this place, the more useless I feel myself to be!

Down with a flu!!!

I m so upset! My little rascal is down with a flu!!!


Sigh, she must have got it from her nanny's place. Claire's nanny is our neighbour and she looked after 3 children (inclusive of Claire) One of them got sick and I guess it spreaded to all of them!

I realised she has a bit of blocked nose on Friday and on Saturday, her nose was like a little tap. On Sunday, it was full blown tap! She learnt 2 disgusting things, she wiped her mucus on my clothes and pillow case!

Last night, we bought her to the GP and she had a slight fever too! Hopefully, her flu will go away in 1-2 days time!

Things that Ms Piggy LOVES!

1. Handkerchief => Its like her security blanket. She uses it for sleeping, playing and as a teether! She used to have this disgusting habit of biting the hanky till the fibres came out and she will eat the fibres! But thank god, she outgrown this phrase!

2. Dancing => More like butt shaking! She loves to support herself on the iron grille at her Popo's place and then sway her butt to and fro! At times, she will kneel on the floor, sway her body and clap her hands at the same time!

3. Food => She is really a GLUTTON!!! Whenever she sees us eating, she will crawl to us and request for the food... And if we ignored her, she will protest very loudly or attempt to climb on to you for the food!

Weaning Ms Claire from the Pacifier

This decision arises out of the blue as I had accidentally bought 2 pacifiers home and at my Mum's pl, there was no pacifier left.


Thus, Mum decided to wean Claire from the pacifier. Claire needs her pacifier only when she is sleeping. Well, she was kinda cranky without the pacifier but she still managed to sleep for 2 naps at Mum's place.

Oke, the rest test... At night, she was making noise big time without the pacifier. I told her that she is a big girl now and big girl dun need the pacifier. She sort of understands what i said, she was quiet for a while but made noise again till she fell asleep!

Day 2, SHE WAS MAKING NOISE BIG TIME at night but i guess she knocked out again...

My conclusion, i gotta bear with a few nights of "MUSIC" before i can say it was a success weaning her off the pacifier!

Walking? The time is not ripe yet!

Claire has been able to walk assisted for a few months but this little piggy of mine simply refused to take the big step of walking by herself!

We witnessed 3 instances of her, taking 2-3 big steps unassisted!

Now, she simply refused to walk without holding onto our 2 hands and she prefers crawling!

Guess the time is not ripe yet for her to walk!

Words!

Its so funny to hear the words popping out from Claire's mouth!

Her best words are, "Papa" in various dialects (Cantonese being the most well pronounced!)

Now, she likes to say "No" in Mandarin whenever she can and it seems as if she knows what she is talking about!

Either that, she loves to do the "Oh" expression with her mouth!

The most heart warming cum melting moment is when she looked at me with a big smile and called me, "Mama"!

That totally made my day!
