It had been a rather trying week for us last week because Chloe was punched by a classmate in her pre-school on the chest. At first, we didn’t think too much of it.. till in the evening, when we got home.. and got ready to bathe her .. and i saw a slight bruise on her chest. I asked her about it.. and she said.. it was this boy who punched her on her chest.. but she had already told her teacher about it. As parents, we all know that we first have to find out .. whether our own kid had been bad first .. perhaps, Chloe had provoked the boy. But Chloe said “no” .. and i was abit concern because this is not the first time, this kid had done that to Chloe.

Like all parents, we of course want to teach our kid how to protect herself and after much talking about it.. and explaining to Chloe what she had to do in the future should it happen again, my daughter is so kind hearted and refuses to push her bully away .. but insisted that she was gonna run very quickly to her teacher. I know that in every school and in fact in every class in the future,…. my kid may come across a bully or two.. but that does not mean .. that my kid needs to continue to be the victim right..?? And even though her current teacher tried to put it lightly to us.. about the situation .. i am very worried because my daughter is not taught to hurt others.. nor do we condone roughing around. We want to do the right thing.. but as parents we all know the right thing may not be the best thing or the proper thing to help my daughter.. so what would you do.. if you were in my shoes?

Chloe’s best friend is Dominic. In fact, they were born at about the same time. Dominic’s mother and I got pregnant at about the same time. I still remember the day i announced my good news.. to Claudette..but Claudette was in to tell me about her good news… but stopped herself. It is truly hard to find good ppl here in this town and I hope to make some good friends for Chloe, so that when she grows up, she will have a pool of good ppl to look up to.. and share stuff with. I also want to teach Chloe to be strong and nonchalant because sometimes, ppl say things without knowing that they can hurt our feelings. For ppl like that.. I want to teach Chloe not to waste time on them… and move forward.

Many of my girlfriends & family often asked why i chose a man from a “ulu” town.. to settle down with, since i had many choices for I worked with a lot of ppl and meets tons too. Muahahah!! and every now and then.. with the ladies/moms here .. i get the same question. Well, moment of truth .. g/fs is .. yes.. i get to meet a lot of ppl, but most are either too full of themselves (i’m so full of myself, so how can i tolerate another like me right..?) or some are already married.. and only looking for a fling .. which i was not into ( after get AIDs how..??) .. and those “suitable ones” .. well .. lets just say .. they want someone submissive..?? and others.. they have their own expectations.. of the woman they want to settle down with.

As you all know.. i met PB online. He was funny and witty .. and had a dry sense of humor, obviously SMART .. but having said all these.. had i known what it was gonna be like here.. in small town, i would definitely had encouraged him to live in Asia. But now that we’ve Chloe, it makes it a lot harder to move.. because of all the benefit the Canadian government gives to these kids - the future generation. Surely there are lots of things that I don’t like here but I never have to work for someone else for the last 9 yrs. On top of everything else, PB shares half of everything i do for Chloe and the house.. i’m a 50/50 gal and in our household, there is no one thing that either of us wouldn’t do. And of course, most importantly, the heavy duty stuff is done and taken care of by PB. All in all, it’s great except for missing food and home, now if they had just 1 hawker center in Yarmouth, I’ll be good for life here. So for those thinking of migrating.. make sure you migrate where there are authentic food around eh. Love is important .. but food is equally as important.

I bought these rubber stamps for chloe to play with. But seriously, when i think of it.. i wonder if it is I .. ?? or it’s chloe’s fetish..??? hehehe!! truth be told.. i love hello kitty a lot .. but that was when i was a kid. At that time and age, I couldn’t afford to have stuff like Hello Kitty .. as my mum wasn’t one .. that would spend a lot of money on the gals (cultural thing). So whenever i see hello kitty stuff.. you know i’ll be buying for Chloe.. just because. The thing about giving your kid.. what you never had .. is true eh.

I’m sick, Chloe is just getting over her cold. PB bathed her .. because i’m too sick to bathe her. After her bath, I asked her why she washed her hair. She said.. daddy washed it. Then the conversation took a turn into a different story.

Brat : Daddy’s bleeding.
Me : Really? Why?
Brat : I think he has a pimples and he was bleeeeeding.
Me : Ohhhh..!! lets call the cops.
Brat : No mom..!! no one broke into our house! we have to call the ambulance .. not the cops..!!
Me : <0-0>

The lil’ brat started having the sniffles yesterday, and of course like any parent, we are on the red alert . .hoping she won’t get any temperature with her sniffles. The teacher in school was very encouraging and had said that with all the germs she is getting, she won’t have to fight it next fall, when she goes back to school. One can always hope eh..?? With Chloe sick so often .. since she started school, like any parents.. I don’t need to use weight loss pills to lose weight, worrying about her is enough to make me skip a meal or two.

After watching the Hannah Montana movie, Chloe decided she wants to be just like Hannah Montana - Miley. Yes, she can sing Hannah Montana’s song and all. Kids just picks up .. just about everything and anything. Oh well.. as long as she is happy eh.. i guess.??

For those who knows me, you will know that I’m into the giving back to society thing. So any fund raising by Chloe’s school or the town, I would not hesitate to get involved. But each time, when we raise fund for anyone or anything, we send Chloe out on a mission, so she is kinda an expert where the raising fund department is concerned.

Tonite, after bathing chloe, she wanted to know what was written on her undergarments and I told her it said “Saturday”. Chloe asked when is Saturday .. and if today was Saturday .. i said no. I said tomorrow is friday and then Saturday is the next day.

So she wanted to know if Saturday was the day that we didn’t have to go to the store..?? i said no.. only Sundays we don’t have to open the store. In which she replied.. isn’t it nice .. if we didn’t have to go to the store on Saturday.. then we can rest the whole day at home. In which i replied.. no .. then we would have no money to buy things.

In which .. Chloe replied.. “that’s alright.. we can do a walk-a-thon” … !!! oh my..!! i burst out laughing..!!! and PB came home from work.

I told PB what Chloe said.. in which .. PB told Chloe that ppl donch just give money to ppl who don’t wanna work, that is call going on welfare.. and we ain’t doing the welfare thing!! muahahahahha!!! And if Chloe’s new teacher from her new school is gonna to remotely suggest that my chloe is not up to par.. i’m gonna be smacking someone’s head so quick.. they won’t even see it coming.

The babysitter had a court date that requires me to be a witness. Long story short.. it’s because of her ex-b/f and the ex-b/f’s new g/f. Apparently, this had been going on since they broke up. It was a case of you said what and she said that .. that ultimately led to me believing that the threatening phone call at the store for her.. was from the new g/f.

Like any adult and a sensible one, you want to stop the whole thing/foolishness because it was plain foolishness. But nope the ex-b/f’s mother and buddy and the new g/f donch wanna let it go. So they hurled each other to court. Obviously, we want to side with the babysitter since we’ve known her for 4.5yrs. So i lugged chloe along to court.. and had to close the store for abit .. so that PB can send me to court .. to be the witness of everything.

Whole day wasted .. that’s alright by me.. but the next day.. when i asked the babysitter to cancel her guitar class to let me finish up my work that i didn’t do because i had to go to court.. well, lets just say she didn’t. So i rushed home .. took care of chloe first of course.. and waited till almost midnite.. before i started working on my online assignments.

I wasn’t mad.. but very disappointed lor. oh well.. kids. I have to remember have the tidak apa attitude from now on. I told PB to smack me hard on the head.. the next time.. i try to do good for anyone and yes i was late for my assignments and i’m never late. So the advertiser had flagged me and won’t be giving me so much assignments no more.

Easter Monday .. but we had to open the store.. just because we feel obligated to some of the customers.. who wants to spend their Easter money. Chloe went to the movies with her best friend .. Dominic .. and the babysitter. They had wanted to go on Sunday.. but the timing wasn’t right.. so we decided on Monday instead. But according to the sitter - keegan.. Chloe was bored after half the movie .. and wanted to chat. I hope to bring her more to the movies during the summer, that way she is all ready for school this fall when they bring her for excursions.

My babysitter is sick again..!!! in between her technical and vocational schools guide for her university application .. and a court case.. with regards to her ex-b/f .. i think she must have had been stressed out again. But having said that.. all our plans went topsy turvy.. and plus we had to deal with some stupid “ang moh” customer .. who thinks that they can scam us. Long story.. but what a tiring week.

Sometimes, when chloe is at the store.. and she is bored.. she likes to play waitress. She would come up to us.. and ask us.. “Can i take your order?” just like Ratatouille. But since the stove and her kitchenette is at home, she doesn’t have much food to offer us. She is an awesome kid - so cheeky and so fun.

On Sundays, when i need to do housework, PB would try and distract chloe by getting her to play rockband with him. And yes, she is very into it.. and makes all the right moves.. and keeps saying.. “it’s awesome, dad..!!!” This brat of mine .. is definitely a drama -queen.

We bought Chloe her Easter dress.. and told her it was from her Grampie, so that she can associate the dress with her Grampie..?? But it was a good buy .. since it was at $10 off. She loves the dress.. and had been wearing it for quite a bit. I’ll post the Easter dress that Easter bunny got for her after Easter.

I had PB’s tuxedo out for the hospital gala’s - a huge event here in our small town. As small business owners… and just about anyone living here, we feel that it is very important.. that we are involved in charitable work. But at the end of March.. yesterday ..we had snow on the ground.. !!!!!! *slap forehead* .. ! when is the warm coming..?? I promised myself to write this down.. so i know.. and wouldn’t hope too much for the sun.. and warm next year. The weather is crazy here.. one day warm.. and one day snow.. or raining. Suxs big time..!
