Let me rant about my MIL

I'm upset to be ranting about my MIL over here when this blog is solely for updates on Kyler.A lengthy post .

On Mother's Day, (ya she has to pissed me off on this day) we were about to make our way back home from Hubby's Po Po place. Brother in law offered to give us a lift since there is ample space for both Hubby and I plus Kyler. He offered partly because Kyler will be more comfortable as compared to FIL's van. Right after Hubby got in and I was ready to carry Kyler into the car, MIL walked away WITH Kyler.

WHY??!!

Just because there isnt any space for her lovely daughter to sit. FYL. I don't see any reasons for her to walk away with Kyler together based on this ridiculous fact. Not enough space then sit in the van, you don't carry my son away and sit in the uncomfortable Van. I lost it at that moment, went into the car with my two nieces(not portraying a good role model) and shouted: :" What the hell is wrong with your mum, just because there's not enough space for her daughter, she carried Kyler and walked away."

Silence, completely. Nobody dared to talk even the usual talkative nieces.

Ridiculous or not you tell me? That's not all.

We were supposed to attend Baby Jia Yu's Birthday party at Downtown East on the same day. Kyler was already feeling cranky because he's too used sleeping in the "sarong". My darling was still sleeping when it was time to go, my MIL kept telling me- Never mind lor, I carry and.........

Guan Yin say can go.

FUCK MY LIFE!!!

I grew up in a family where all of us are pretty much free-thinkers. We don't abide by rules or beliefs so I can't believe what I heard. I doubt anyone can right? I still have my respect for their beliefs and as much as I can, I go with the flow.

But, how can an elder be so insensitive? My son is tired so let him sleep. You can carry? Not as if I do not have hands to carry. I don't see the big deal in not going.

My frustration hits the maximum limit when she kept asking whether we are going. Last time she asked, hmm.. I think I rolled my eyes in front of her and said a firm NO. She still not gam wan, asked the daughter come and ask me. You know how it feels when you hit the jackpot? When you say something and no one else asks about it anymore.

我都讲我不要去了。

Once and for all- silence achieved.

I think I'm already being very patient with my in laws most of the times. But, being the straightforward me, don't try your limits.

Put all these aside, Kyler gotten two new strollers! =) One is a twin stroller which MIL can use when she fetch the nieces from school bus. ( She baby sits a toddler just in case you are wondering whether I'm having twins)  Here's baobei in the twin stroller which I pulled the front seat down that will give ample space for a single child to be in it. Cheap and good.

Another one which costs me a LV bag is from Quinny. It works like a transformer, with one button it forms by itself. Hubby and I are quite proud of our purchase because it's every cents worth though a little ex.

 The car seat which can be attached. Sadly, baobei doesnt likes to be seated in it because of the neck pillow which he finds it very gao wei. Basically, darling doesn't like anything to be around his neck, genetically like his dad. Haha..
 The bigger seat which is also attachable to the handle.
 See what I meant by transformer? Very metallic but serves as sturdy and comfortable seat for your child.
 The car seat.

And here's baobei in it. Look at his contented and satisfying look. Haha..

To end off this long and draggy post....

Kyler says: Ciaos everyone! =)

Deprived...

Hi Everyone!

Hubby was back from his training on 1st May. I'm so glad he's finally back after a long 3 weeks of dealing with baobei myself. No doubt I'm handling well but at times I seem so deprived of rest without anyone helping me. Thus, now that he's back, we can take turns to look after darling in the day and night. I'm actually more awake during the night because I'm a night owl all along- doesn't makes a difference. Hubby nags at me everytime I don't make good use of the time to rest when darling is sleeping at night. I'm starting to worry when I goes back to work and with my night course, I can literally go "beng san". Haha..

Hubby and I just spent near to 2k buying 2 strollers for darling. No, I'm not having twins. Reason being, MIL will need to ferry Kyler and the toddler she helps to baby sit when the two nieces comes back from school by bus. We went Kiddy Palace to get the twin stroller on sale at 299 which we find that it's quite a good deal. After which we got FIL to drive us to the SPRING showroom at Jalan Kintan(Not sure whether I got the add wrongly), we got a Quinny front handle stroller which comes with a car seat for 1099. I can hear the sound of coins rolling on the floor, haha.. This price is enough to get a LV Neverfull or a gucci classic sling bag. Ok I digress. Will upload the pictures of the Quinny stroller when it arrives at the store as it was out of stock when we got it. The features works just like a transformer, with one button the whole stroller forms by itself. Perhaps I'm a newbie mummy, everything looks totally cool to me.=)

Oh ya, I had my post natal massage 2 weeks ago. Although I was pinning high hopes that I can go back to my pre pregnancy weight but CRASHED. My belly did got firmer and I managed to squeeze into a size 28 Levis Jeans but sitting down is a problem because the loose skins starts to form a "swimming float". Now I fully understand what is the meaning of "swimming float" when the elders describes it. I will have to control my diet and hoping to slim down before christmas this year. No specific reasons why christmas, prolly just a goal for me to work towards. Wish me luck la.. Haha..

Will be back again! =)

Loving him so much.. =)

Our drama Son.

Have you ever smiled to yourself for something that you reflect on..

I have so much of these moments nowadays especially when Kyler is cooing or gurgling. I really do wonder whether our darling is a little too advanced in his developmental milestones. My MIL always says that Kyler is a chatterbox because he responds whenever we talk to him. This little darling of ours has the genes of his talkative parents. =)

I'm going back to work in less than a month. I do not know how I can focus at work without my baobei with me all the time. Contracting enough, when we start working we complain how tiring it is but when we don't, we complain of boredom. Haha.. Now that Kyler is out, I have no intention of going back work but oh well, no work no money, no money, no food. That's how realistic life in Singapore is, talk about 1k to buy a flat, cmon..

Kyler went for his Hep B jab last Saturday and it was nerve wrecking for his mummy. The nurse explained to me the many jab "packages" and being the kiasi and kiasu mummy, I'm definitely opting for all of it. Especially when I'm working in a childcare, I'm the carrier of virus. The nurse measured his weight and height and she was surprised at his birth weight which is at 3.932kg. I know, WOW... haha.. I do not want to think about how I managed to push or rather tried pushing him out. So, Mummy Lynn went super nervous when the nurse asked me to hold his ankle tightly for the jab. His face went all red when the long needle was poked into his tender left thigh, followed by piercing loud cries. My heart sank and I felt like crying too. I'm also a drama mamma..haha.. Sis was there to help me and luckily, we managed to coax him to sleep after a while. That ended the entire scary jab process.

This is my darling back home after the jab. Looking cute at all angles. =)

To end this post, let me sing you a song.. Haha..

(Tune: If You're Happy And You Know)

If he's happy and he knows, he looks like this...
If he's tired and he knows, he looks like this...

 If he's sad and he knows...and he really wants to show....
 WA!!! He shows us by crying really really loud.. hahaha...

 Back to my calm little one with his baobei "dudu".
Will be back soon. Happy Labour Day !!
