Things Jerry says #4 – the power of negotiation.
Things Jerry says: The negotiator I can’t emphasise how much this kid amaze me all the time. I know that I said it many many times, but I guess I still need to say it mainly because I am so proud of him (or annoyed!) and it is a moment worth recording down. And mummies are always proud of their little one, however small an achievement because to us, they mean the world. A couple of days ago, this kid isn’t on the best of behaviour. He refused to comply to any instruction and we were rushing out of the house for a party. I needed him to sit in…

Happy Valentine’s Day & conversations with the husband #9.
It’s Valentine’s Day and happy v day to all my readers out there! Yes, you, you, you and you. I don’t have anything special planned for the day with the husband but we are going to spend tonight at my uncle’s place with family to end the last day of Chinese New Year celebrations. The husband is secretly relieved that his pocket is very safe from a lavish dinner that I might potentially extort outta him. That said, valentine’s day is often an overhyped day and singles on this day often feel felt out. You shouldn’t be, because there is love between family and friends too. Spend the day with…

Conversations with the husband #8
Happy Chinese New Year everyone. I’m back with a quick “Conversations with the husband” post while I try and recover from the post CNY fatigue. It’s been a few days of madness and sleep deprivation and I wished I had taken leave to recover from all these. Definitely don’t feel as young anymore! Will try posting from frequently this week! Conversations with the husband #8 We had an extremely exhausting evening a couple of days ago (pre cny) while managing 2 kids and staying hungry till midnight. It was one of those days that left me fuming for hours and kept questioning myself why the hell I had kids. Believe…

Things Jerry says #3 – the little traffic conductor
Things Jerry says – the little traffic conductor We have been teaching the kid about traffic lights since a long time ago.. when he was still in the stroller and I used to push him around everywhere. I believe in empowering him with the knowledge from young so he doesn’t run across traffic lights and know the basic traffic rules, right from the moment he understands me. I’m paranoid that way. Part of the reason is that i used to have a really really smart classmate in primary school and one day, he didn’t check for the cars while crossing and got hit. He was in coma for months and…

Funny conversations with the husband #6 and #7
Conversations with the husband #6 Honestly, I don’t really know if the conversations are funny, or irritating and totally a pain in the arse but I choose to see the humour side of things because this is one person that I need to spend the rest of my life with, and my mantra is all about living and being happy so I process everything with a pinch of salt. The husband was irritating the hell outta me earlier and I was on the brink of exploding and trying scheme against him when I suddenly had a *light bulb moment* C: stop irritating me, else I’ll go back home, take your…

Things Jerry Says #1
The kid has been sprouting sentences and arguments like an adult and he surprises me every single day. Like… woah! Where did he learn that from? and since its a brand new year and a brand new blog, i am going to chronicle his funny conversations in numeric order. I know i posted some before previously, but i guess i’ll start counting somewhere. Over the holiday, before we headed out for lunch.. der went to his bonnet and did some engine servicing. Jerry & Jerome was both strapped in the car before der went on to do his stuff. Jerry: Why isnt the car moving and where is papa? Me:…

conversations with the husband #3
Conversations with the husband #3 after a super frustrating bedtime routine with a toddler who simply refused to sleep for > 2 hours.. my tempers were flaring and I really was on the verge of strangling him or giving him away to another family. I was so tired, super sick and I badly wanted to grab some rest. so after loads of struggles, cries, whines, disciplinary acts and hugging daddy’s leg. I ignored him for the longest time and he fell asleep. in the above position, over my blanket but under my bolster. daddy and I finally sat down to have dinner at close to midnight, packed his school…

Jerry is the gentleman.
the other day when the fight happened, the husband and me were in discussion on the topic while strolling to the nearby mall to grab some necessities. and the husband went…. d: i think jerry is quite the gentleman. c: why? d: because… 君子动口不动手。 (literally translated as “the gentlemen uses his mouth instead of his hands” but meant to mean that the gentlemen would reason rather than fight) c: …… *roll eyes* d: ya what! he didn’t hit other people what. he bit the girl, so he used his mouth right? please tell me it’s a pain to deal with my husband sometimes. we sorta concluded that the fight must…

The husband always wins.
[possible vulgar/dialect language ahead] The husband was bathing the baby earlier and required me to help. I was feeling lazy so I teased him about his capability.. You know, being an all rounder and wonderful hands on super daddy, but he insisted he would liked me to help. Me: you cannot do it yourself meh? D: no, I’m not as capable as you. I need you to help. Me: you very zhu eh! (I meant 猪／pig in this instance and trying to mock him of stupidity. It was also meant to be a pun because the husband’s surname is Choo /朱) 猪爸爸！猪爸爸！ I chanted non stop during the time I…
