Samuel first hair cut at the saloon

We used to cut Samuel's hair ourselves at home. But Samuel hates it. We always cut his hair before his bath. Whenever he sees us take the scissors and comb, he will start crying already. So, every time the hair cutting sessions will end with vomits, screaming and cryings... (-_-)"... And the "end product" is.... er.... "not very nice"... :p Like this photo below...

I can't remember when was the last time we cut his hair. But yesterday I just could not stand it anymore so I asked David to bring Samuel to the saloon and cut his hair. Maybe he would not cry when strangers cut his hair. So we brought him to a saloon near our house. I told him there would be pretty "jie jie" cutting your hair so you must not cry. Samuel nodded his said means ok. * wink *

To bad when we reached there, it was a "go go"... not "jie jie"... Samuel started to show me this "I don't like him" face and started making "complaining" sound... and.... he started crying. But, he didn't cry out loud, just soft and.... shy cry... as there were 3 jie jies over there watching him... hahaha... so maybe that was the reason he never cried or screamed like he used to do at home. I hold him in my arm when the stylist cut his hair. I gave Samuel 90 out of 100 marks for his "performance". Happy with him :)  No vomits! hahaha...

When the stylist turn off the cutter (is it the cutter? the electric one?), Samuel looked at me and said, "No more!" then he turned to the stylist and say " Bye bye!" Everyone laughed... He stopped crying immediately when done. aaa... Mummy little Samuel aaa.... Isn't he cute? So, this is how Samuel's hair looks now...

Treasure Hunt

Last week was the company's EHS Week (EHS = Environment Health and Safety). There were a lot of interesting activities related to environment and safety issues being organized. One of the activities that I joint was treasure hunt. It was held on Friday (8 Sep). There were18 groups of us, each groups contained 2 participants. The prizes for the treasure hunt was quite attractive:
1st prize - Cash money RM500
2nd prize - Cash money RM300
3rd prize - Cash money RM250
Consolation prizes - hamper
Participation - KFC vouchers

I paired with Nadia, a mommy-to-be and we called ourselves as "Mama Mia" (the team name) *yeah!*. All the teams were given a set of questions where we needed to answer the questions in sequence in order for us to get to each check point to collect the "treasure". The "treasure" was pieces of a puzzle and there were 7 of them. After we had got all those 7 pieces of puzzles, we had to go back to the starting point to put all of them together. Nadia and I didn't know that there were 7 pieces of them. We thought there was only 1. We only got to know that half way during the game. We went back to find all the missing puzzles and we were lucky that we managed to collect all the puzzles and completed the hunt on time. We were so surprise and happy when we got consolation prize! It was fun... :)

~Nadia and me... happy with our hamper!~

Who don't like cute stuff?

I like cute stuff, especially teddy bear…

I am attracted to this phone decoration, which I saw on my friend, Chin’s blog. It’s a bear bear!!

 [ Photo from Chin's blog]

Chin was my housemate for 5 years during uni time. She and I are both Aries. Our birthdays are 3 days apart. Mine is on 9^th April and hers on 12^th April. We used to be very close but after graduated, I moved back to Kuching, busy with work so we sort of like lost contact for a while, until we found each other in Facebook! haha... Now she's a mother of 2 and working as a lecturer in MMU (our uni last time). It feels great to "catch her back" after all these years.

Ok, back to the bear... I like the brown color one so I quickly dropped her a message to check whether she’s selling those bears or not and she said yes. I was so happy when I got the bear bear yesterday.

Besides the bear bear, there's a short note from Chin and some horoscope stickers (free gift ? *sweet*) .

Can't wait already, quickly put it on!

Yeah! Me and my cute little bear... :)

If you are interested, you can also drop by at her blog to have a look. She's also selling pot flower bouquet which are nice too.  :)

*Chin, thank you. *

忍耐

" 忍耐" 一直是我该学习，可是又学不好的功课。从小，爸爸妈妈时常劝我，说我的脾气不好，没耐性，如果不改掉我那急躁又容易发脾气行为，将来无论发生什么事，吃亏的都会是自己。当时我都没太在意他们的劝告，一直到上大学，离开家里自己一个人在外面生活的时候，才知道爸爸妈妈的话是多么的真实。现在想起，如果当时我忍一忍，很多事情的结局可能就不一样了。

出来工作以后，"忍耐"更是非常重要的。工作越久，就会遇见越多"形态"的人。哈! 或者我该说，什么样的人都有。有些人很容易"处理"，可是有些人却需要以“忍耐”的心和态度来应付。

在婚姻生活中，"忍耐"是每天都在操练的。我不懂为什么拍拖时都没那么需要"忍耐"，感觉上好像一切都顺心如意。有了小孩以后就更不用说了，简直是时刻都在考验我的"忍耐"。

歌林多前书 13：7

 " 凡事包容。凡事相信。凡事盼望。凡事忍耐。"

" 主啊，求你使我有颗愿意受教的心，听从你的旨意。你知道我的软弱，求你保守我，赐给我力量，无论在什么事情上，都依靠你。求你怜悯我，教导我凡事都要忍耐。时时刻刻牢记你的话语，在一切事上都能荣耀你的名。"

SAHM for 5 days

Mom went back to Kuching on 28 Sep. But MIL will only come over on 2 Oct. So I have to take 3 days leave to take care of Samuel myself at home.

We took half day leave to send mom to air port on 28 Sep. Samuel cried when he saw mom leaving. Mom was sad too... she kissed Samuel then walked to the departure hall... she never turned back to look at us. I knew she was crying already... Samuel cried all the way till we went down the stairs to ground floor where we headed to our car. In the car I asked him, where is grandma? He made this "baby cry" sound and frown. He didn't want me to talk about grandma. I called mom before she board the plane. Samuel took my phone and talked to mom in his baby language. He kept calling grandma. When I took the phone over, mom was sobbing. ah! I hate goodbyes!

After we went mom to the airport, we drove back to Butterworth and reached home about 6:30pm. I quickly fed Samuel dinner then we brought him to the pediatrician as he was coughing very badly since Monday. I got very stress when I saw all the medicine... Samuel hates to take medicine and I am really not good in giving medicine. 9 out of 10 times he will vomit. But my mom can do it very well. Samuel never throw up if it's my mom who give him medicine. Anyway, I managed to get Samuel to eat his medicine. He is better today. Thank God.

I am so glad that Samuel behaved very well these 3 days. I love spending time with him... yes... just he and me... :)

Swim, Samuel... swim!

We brought Samuel to the pool again yesterday. The first time Samuel went to the pool was about 2 weeks ago, together with his cousin Joshua. We didn't manage to take any picture that time. Yesterday, I didn't went down to the water so I brough along my camera to snap some photos of Samuel having fun playing in the pool with his Daddy... : )

~All set... ready to go to the pool to have some fun!~

Samuel not afraid of the water at all... :)

Going down from the slide with Daddy... so excited!
