two little monkeys....
The little monkey had just recovered from fever, her nose is still stuffy with occasional mucus dripping out. Nevertheless, she’s in an extremely cheerful and dancing mood tonight. I was watching CSI and couldn't resist doing a few clips. Then came monkey no. 2 and we get 2 monkeys dancing in the night. Watch out for the little monkey tripping over the fan :)

the determined balloon seeker
Wow, it's been almost 2 mths since I last posted. Very busy lately, freelancing at an agency the whole of March, SAHM for the past 2 weeks - busy with kids & trying to find time to do up my itsy online site (yupz, but still under construction, at the rate that I'm going I don't think it'll be up any time soon ;P). Who says SAHM is very FREE!!!!! Aunty has been a SAHM since Feb & she's yet to find time to yak in the chatroom or update her bloggy (psstt....er...I think she also said her larling dun like her to be on her lappy too much, so she's been a very gd garl). Well, managed to meet up with her ytd for "Meet The Robinsons" movie event with 2 kids & 2 bbs in tow hahahaha..... 1st time I'm out with both Farn & Han, I almost died. Thank goodness dh came to pick up Han before the movie started. The pre-movie activities was not that great, a bit disorganised but the movie was gRREAttttt!! I'm gonna get the VCD when it's out :)
Hmmmm..... what else happened....let's see... oh yes, I brought Farn to a SSO children concert sometime back. This is the 2nd SSO concert he has attended since Baby Prom. Love it, he even can recognised some of the classical pieces all thanks to Little Einstine (from Playhouse Disney Channel --- the POWER of the goggle box!) Well, something farny happened on that day. The volunteers was giving out balloons after the concert. As usual the kids & adults crowd around the volunteers trying to grab 1 of the FREE balloons (I mean they're FREEEE mah, so must grab. Don't understand, how much is a balloon gonna cost har?) Farn insisted that he wanted 1, so I told him to get it himself (yup, yup, I know I'm very evil hehehehe) So the poor boy, being very small size, tried very hard to squeeze through the kids & the butts of the adults. He tried so hard, when he finally squeezed to the front, all the balloons had been given out :( He came back to me looking sooooo disappointed. Just then another volunteer came out with a fresh bunch of balloons. Can see his eyes light up loh, he was hestitating, den I was like 'quick, quick, quick GO, wait later no more again' So he finally had a blue balloon with the words SSO printed on it.
Ahem... that's not the end of the story. We walked past the ACM & found out that they have children activities. So we did stone painting, he painted a stone ladybird (it's now sitting proudly on a shelf in our hall) We also found out that they have balloon sculpting at 2.30pm. With more than 2hrs to kill, I decided to hv lunch. Brought him to the big M at Boat Q, past the bumboat ride counter. Farn wanted to go for a ride, as usual I told him nxt time. At the big M while chomping on our burgers & fries, a terrible thing happened. His prized balloon started to SHRINKKKKK!!!!!! EKKKK!!!! Farn looks like he gonna burst into tears (who wouldn't, after all the squeezing to get this balloon). So to pacify him I reminded him of the balloon sculpting later at ACM. After lunch, we went back to ACM, but we're still 30mins early. By now the balloon had shrank to slightly bigger den an apple. He insisted that I cannot throw it away, must put it in my bag. Aiyoh, cannot tahan him. To pass the 3omins, we went for a bumboat ride. Farn was so excited & was asking me all the questions abt Boat Q & the bridges we passed. Well, history was not my strongest subject so 'I don't know' was my standard answer ;P After the ride, went back to ACM. The balloon sculpting had just started & already there's a long que. Farn happily joined the que. When he finally got his balloon sculpted in the shape of a cat, he was delighted. I was telling myself 'Good, now we can go home.' BUT we had barely cross the street, Farn was fiddling with the balloon, when the cat balloon BURST!!!! Win lor ! *&$!*#@^# can I complain to ACM that the guy used sub-quality balloons?! (Actually I think it's the heat ---- hot air expand mah rite??) Now we had to go back to get another balloon, I'm keeping my fingers crossed that Farn can get another one. So back to the que haizzz..... The problem was they had to stop the sculpting session as the story-telling was up next. And Farn was just the nxt after the kid in front! Think he super bad luck that day. The balloon sculpting guy took his barang to the side to finished up the last balloon for the kid. Farn still refused to give up, stood right behind the kid even though I told him that the session had ended. Well, the guy remembered Farn, he was like 'U got ur balloon just now rite?' I was quite paisei, told him that the balloon bursted, Farn held up the bursted balloon to prove our claim (hey, ok, ok, I know balloons don't cost much but this one cannot get outside hor) The guy went 'Awwww.... so what do u like this time?' Was I surprised!!! Such a nice guy hehehehe.... This time round Farn asked for a flower, manzz.... this one is BIG loh many times BIGGER than the stupid cat, check out the pic & the 100 magawatts smile :)

chinese new year
first day
Very excited as it is Han's 1st Chinese New Year. Can't wait to show her off to my relatives. But but but Farn complained of stomachache after finishing his morning milk & threw out. Poor boy, keep asking me how how. So we didn't went to mum's place as what we usually do on CNY. By lunch time he was feeling better so we decided to go with my ILs to hb's godma's plc. Who knows while I was getting Han ready, Farn complained of tummy ache again :( Haiz, in the end I've to stay home with him while dh & Han went with my ILs. Farn was very disappointed, asked me "How? I dun wan to miss all the fun leh" I also dun wan to stay at home wat....boringgggg.........
second day
Was planning to go mum's place as we didn't go yesterday, but she was out visiting & couldn't confirm when she'ld be home, xianz. Went to dh's boss CNY lunch, no mood so didn't eat much. After the lunch we went to dh's godma's place as it's nearby & Farn missed going there yesterday. Another boringggg day.
third day
Today's the day that Ido's having a gathering at KM's place, so excited. Finally I can have some fun, just luv to yak with the mummies. BUT Farn has to spoil my fun AGAIN!!! He had lunch at 1pm & took 1 bl**dy whole hr to finish. Can't believe it! The gathering starts at 1pm, I still have to get him ready, doll up myself, get Han's stuff to pass to MIL, even if I'm lucky enough to get a cab right away, it'ld be 4pm by the time I reach Yew Tee (yupz, that's where KM stays). In the end, I skipped KM's gathering, went to mum's place for dinner (kekekeke and I met Simon's gf there finally). Yet another boringgggg day.... kaoz....
Well, that's my 'most interesting' CNY. A very happy & prosperous Chinese New Year to you, hope yours is more fun den mine :)

starry starry signs 1
Saw this on Aunty's blog ..... Farn is so typical Gemini....
Gemini (May 21 - June 21) - The Intelligent Entertainers
These children are good entertainers. They never are at a loss for words (sometimes I'm amazed at what comes out of his mouth). In general, Geminis are very intelligent and love to learn. Writing comes easily to them (true, he starts to write at 3yrs old). Give them books or computers to keep them from tiring of one activity. Witty and very humorous, they can grow up to be comedians. They are so good with speech, they can sell anything to anybody (basically, I think he talks too much, I've to tell him to SHUT UP). You will often find salespeople possessing the sign of Gemini.
Avid readers, they will need many, many books on many subjects to be happy. They can talk so much, they drive everyone away (he drives me CRAZY). Boredom will turn them into a hyper, nervous, antsy child (maybe that's why he's getting so uncontrollable now, I've to tell him to stop behaving like a monkey). Get their physical needs for movement satisfied by getting them involved in dance lessons, gymnastics, or track and field. They need to move their bodies as often as they move their mouths. On the other hand, do not give them too many things to do at once, for then they will never learn to be good at anything.
Watch for sensitivity to the hands, limbs or lungs. These children are more prone to dyslexia and nervous disorders, including speech problems than any other sign. Looking for variety can keep them from being faithful to friends and later to a spouse, as well as, the inability to stick with one career. Teaching your Gemini child to fulfill their commitments and concentrate on what’s in front of them will be the best thing you can do for them (this one is difficult, he has such short attention span, always doing a few activities at the same time & not finishing all of them).
Birth - 6 months
Makes contact almost immediately using eye contact and vocalisation.Enjoys interaction.Very alert.Likes being talked to and to hear the sound of a human voice.Responds well to laughter. Mirror play is good.
6-18 months
Curious and verbal.Constantly in motion.Has a short attention span and needs plenty of variety.Learns through repetition and conversation.Likely to talk and walk early (definately talks very early. I can still remember during 1 of his health checks, the pd ask if he can speak more than 20 words, my dh & I was like er....he speaks much more than that loh but but but he didn't starts crawling till he was abt 18mths). Finds everything exciting and challenging.
18 months-3 years
Perpetual motion could be your child’s nickname at this age.Begins to perform multiple tasks at the one time.Looks for honesty from those around. Mercurial personality begins to show and becomes even more unpredictable.
3-6 years
Continues to be changeable, restless and curious.Becoming more involved with testing out different roles and truths.Tests parents to see if they meant what they say (definately true for my Gemini boy).Favourite word “why” followed by “how” (drives me up the wall with his non-stop questioning). Mimicry and conversational abilities become even more highly developed. Begins to develop skills in debating and negotiating (true also, always bargaining with me, sometimes I'm so fed up I just say "Do it because mummy say so").
