Mother's Day Painting

Other's might celebrate it next Sunday, but me and my girl, we celebrated it yesterday evening. We spent good time watching Madagascar 2 again and again until we had enough. And we play Moshi Monster and Club Penguin again and again until we finish all the game's money. We had a blast! and the kids painted for me rainbows and stuff. I am now declared myself the best mommy ever! Standing Ovation please!!!!!

P/s: and John gave me Big Bar of Chocolates! Awezomeeeee!!!

This Girl is 7 Yesterday!

It feels like only yesterday I gave birth to her. Sharing laughter and tears with her. A heart so pure, understanding and kind. I am proud to call her my girl, my friend and my precious!

 Damia Now

This is when she is 2 years old. When it just the two of us.

When she is 6 months.

Note:

Happy birthday Damia. Mommy love you always.

"Hang Out", They teach that in school?

Last night while I watched TV, my eldest, Damia, said to me, "Mommy, tonight you HANG OUT with me first yeah", I was like, what? What does she means by hang out. Turns out that she wants me to sit with her before she sleep. Wow, Hang Out, Man. That is a cool word. maybe too cool to be used by 6 years old. Sigh...modern world!

Lets Hang Out, Dude..

Note: what other cool word that your kid use?
p/s: I cant quite capitulate the idea that my daughter has cooler vocabs than me.

Sour Face Going To School

Dear Damia, 

Please don't show me this kind of face every morning okay. Smile a bit for your mommy.

I Look Like Fairy!

Damia has art class today. The teacher ask her to draw Mother and Father.

This is Me. I look Like some fairy in Nickelodeon

This is John, because John is so fair, she doesn't know what color to put. He looks like a villain guy that wants to kidnap fairy "good"mother - Me!

Damia 1st Day of School

I think it just yesterday i wrote about Damia starting kindergarten, now she is already in primary school, how fast! So far she is doing okay. It just me that is still adjusting to the time. Now I have to wake up really early at 6 to cook her breakfast and make her lunch box. Sometimes it's really a mess cos I just couldn't open my eyes. Lucky that she is really a sweetie, so if she sees that her mommy is struggling from the bed, she opt for going to canteen and buy breakfast (what have I done before that I blessed with this girl?). Anyway, I should be going, need to find a really large alarm clock that give the nastiest sound.

ani-ME - Phineas and Ferb

All mothers know that what the kids watch on TV going to be the only show you are able to watch at home. It drives me crazy sometimes but you grow to like it. And tell you, some of the shows are not too BAD. So, just give it a try. Especially Phineas and Ferb. They are totally awesome.

Phineas and Ferb

Two young suburban boys, Phineas and Ferb that like to invent things in their backyard. Their inventions however drives their sister Candace crazy and she trying so hard to bust them to their mom. Sadly everytime all the invention will somehow just disappear caused by feud between their pet Perry the Platypus (which is secret Agent P) and evil villain Dr Heinz Doofershmirtz.

the MISCHIEVOUS angel

Yesterday My first girl, Damia brought back her science project which is bean sprout in egg shells. She talked about it the whole night. After long hours of talking, she put the project on top of the cupboard and fell asleep.

Then, slowly the mischievous angel make her move, took a stool and put it near the cupboard, step on it and reached the science project.

the mischievous angel and the stool

 Suddenly I heard screaming, I went to check on it and saw the mischievous angel holding the eggshell on her hand and totally crushed! Hmm...I wonder how on earth she always achieves her mission on materializing all the naughty deeds.

My Daughter Is My Best Friend, Really!

damia and dhia

When i have her, I am still in university (read my first entry 5 years back here) and only 22 years old, I remember juggling studies and taking care of her. It was hard but it taught me to be strong. Daytime, i went to class and she, to babysitter, night I play with her until she sleep then i continued my study. Its tiring, but it makes me appreciate my life and my relationship with her. There was also time when I  make a fuss about her but it just my hormones talking, I love her to the deepest.

After I finished my study, I am between job, we don't have money. sometimes i have to leave her with my mom when I get a new job that required my full time and concentration. It hurt me so much, but its for the better, for both of us. I cried in my heart countless time, for the lack of time that I spent with her. But being a mom is not as easy as being a single girl. Every step that we take come with great consequences not only to us but to our kids. People judgement is always on us, of course they are few that wants to understand and help, but how far people can see the weight of the world on you.

Now, I am an Engineer, a career woman. I can get her education and good life. Yes I am a single parent but my love for her and her sister is enough for both of them. But one thing for sure, she walk the same path that i walk, be it a hard, bumpy and terrible or easy and smooth one. For that she know me well, for that she is the best young 5 years old girl ever and for that she is my BEST FRIEND.

a simple gift bring smilesSSSS

Went to Carrefour to buy dinner when ran into stationary sales.

Bought Luna color pencils, 48 sticks, exercise books and full stationary sets for Damia

and coloring book and crayon for Dhia.

Look at those face...

Worth It!

the Drama Queen

The Drama Queen and The Paparazzi

"Mommy!!!!! Dhia write on the wall !"

"Mommy!!!!! Dhia write in my book!"

"Mommy!!!!! Dhia break the glass!"

"Mommy!!!!! Dhia play with the sand!"

That is my daughter Damia, screaming and reporting all the "creativity" done by her younger sister. She is so alert of her sister because i hear these screams almost every hour. If I am not around, she will be reporting to John or sometimes Nuom Sa, our maid or do it telecast to me (talking bout technology). Paparazzi should be ashamed now. and everytime she reporting it, as always i will try to play strict mom role and nag and beat Dhia hands so she know its a wrong thing to do and will remember it next time she wants to do it again. but sadly, it never works. because every week, there will be new mural on the wall (that has to be cleaned by Nuom Sa after Dhia finish with her art work), new sketch in Damia book (that sure will gain Damia bad image in school by her teacher), new glasses in the house (to replace the one that broken) and new screaming tone of Mama Busan (me), cos i couldn't find the nail clipper to clip Dhia nails that is full of sands.

I had a talk with John about it, that she (Dhia) being a baby, and a drama and never seems to understand that i already punish her and she should not do it again. and he said maybe I am not strict enough and maybe the punishment is somehow didn't reach her brain. Because from his observation, kids always naughty but if you punish them reasonably hard while they doing so, they somehow wont do it again cos they couldn't bear the punishment. and it is also important for parent to show them love after you punish them. So they will know that you don't hate them, you just punish them to show what right and wrong.John also suggested that it is important not to stop the creativity. what he mean is, if the kid love to draw, just give them paper and pen and watch them so they will only do it on the paper and not on the wall or floor. I have to admit i agree with him.

So later that night when i help Damia with her homework, i saw lots of pen sketch on the book by Dhia. I called Dhia and told her, "Dhia, next time if you write on kakak book again, mommy beat you", while gesturing my hands with beating position. She said, "OK", I dont know if she understand what I am talking about, but next time if she does, I'll make sure the punishment REACH her brain.

Love them, later days.....

Damia 1st Day at School

Damia with school uniform

Woke up early at 6am that day, to make breakfast for Damia on her first day at school. (not really made it, more like pour it in the bowl - Coco Crunch Cereal) i know...I'm such a bad mother. Don't blame me, blame the facial routine that i have to follow. It takes lots of my time in the morning. Still find it difficult to remember the steps. Cleanser, Toner, Moisturizer and Sun Block. What the heck, should write it on the wall next time.

Damia looked excited. Maybe the thrill of meeting new people other than her psycho mom. But her uniform kinda big for her petite body. but she said its ok for her. More room to move. (have to bear that in mind when i struggle in my tight pantyhose next time).

When i send her to the school gate, i got emotional. My baby growing up...her first day at school. It will not be long till she tells me she has boyfriend i imagine. Before i start going berserk, i left the school and headed home while picturing how her boyfriend shall look. Completely mental.

At 11.00am (Orientation week, they are allowed to come back early) i pick her up at school, she started telling me all the details and showing me stationaries given by school. So cute.

I hope she will not growing up so fast. Alas, who am i to stop time. Whatever it is, she still gonna be my little baby forever.

back to life

hmmm....life is just a bliss
my baby back to my arm
dont really have a thing to say
just want to enjoy the song
so here for all of you.

I know a girl
She puts the color inside of my world
But she's just like a maze
Where all of the walls all continually change
And I've done all I can
To stand on her steps with my heart in my hands
Now I'm starting to see
Maybe it's got nothing to do with me

Fathers, be good to your daughters
Daughters will love like you do
Girls become lovers who turn into mothers
So mothers, be good to your daughters too

Oh, you see that skin?
It's the same she's been standing in
Since the day she saw him walking away
Now she's left
Cleaning up the mess he made

So fathers, be good to your daughters
Daughters will love like you do
Girls become lovers who turn into mothers
So mothers, be good to your daughters too

Boys, you can break
You'll find out how much they can take
Boys will be strong
And boys soldier on
But boys would be gone without the warmth from
A womans good, good heart

On behalf of every man
Looking out for every girl
You are the god and the weight of her world

So fathers, be good to your daughters
Daughters will love like you do
Girls become lovers who turn into mothers

So mothers, be good to your daughters too
