Oh...time flew so quickly. Felt like I just gave birth to my baby girl...now She's 2 years old. Within couple days I taught her toilet training (day time), she seem got the message. Now she's no longer wearing nappy during the day. She now how to control herself when she needs to go to toilet.

My baby girl grows up. She's  a little girl...but she always says " I'm a Big girl now, mummy".

For you out there, toilet training is about patient both parent and the child. If your child not ready, don't push too hard. Just give a break...and try another day. Eventually they will mastering the toilet training. Good luck.

On Monday my girl turned 2 years old. We had her birthday party on Sunday. Apart from the very bad weather (pouring rain) the party was a success. We didn't finally get the party done at the park (we lost our money on hiring the gazebo....) but we decided to have it at home because of the rain. We had a great barbecue, the kids still had their fun playing around...and my effort of baking the "betty crocker" cake at 6am was paid for. At the end, no matter where you are as long as we all happy that's all matter.

So, here the cake I made for my daughter.

Hi all..I knew I'm pretty slack for so long. But finally I'm on my feet again, and would share some of the photos from the Easter Break. Enjoy.

Hi all....sorry if I've been pretty slack in putting my blog post. I've been caught up with gaming....World of warcraft... LOL .. (nah..I'm not too old for that). I also been busy with the kids routines (as you parents would know). Anyway, just want to tell that we all alright, busy...bit tired. So, we look forward for the Easter Break. We planned to have a family holiday... we're looking forward to have a nice drive..and taking nice photos. When I come back I'll make sure that I'll post some of the nice photos.

OK...to all of you that read this blog..HAPPY EASTER. HAVE A LOVELY AND SAFE HOLIDAY.

Last weekend we had a nice walk to the park, while I 'sort of' did my jog. Anyway, it was beautiful day and we had lovely family walking day.

I've been in Minti for about 10 months or so. First time I was here, I found Minti is an interesting place....place to share/exchange some parenting experiences in order to learn from other people mistakes or success to make us a better parents for our children. But somehow, lately I found a lot of people got hurt as well. I suppose when something growing you can't only get something better, but you might find some people get hurt too. I found lot of members seem thought that Minti is a place to compete, to show that they're better than other parent. They blame the voting system, they blame other member who don't have the same opinions with them.

I'm not a saint or even counselor. But I could only share my thoughts that here at Minti we are not competing with anybody. Those voting are only the way we said that we agree or not with your way of thinking, but then again it doesn't mean that you are better or worse than other members. Each member have their rights to stand up on their own opinions as long as it doesn't abuse the different opinions of others.

I knew, we only human, we make mistakes, we could be stubborn,.....but again we could also try to live in harmony, apologize for our mistakes or accept other people apology. Come on, we come here to make friends and to help each other. We come here free, none of us being paid or anything to participate in Minti. I'm sure the Minti team are appreciating your participation in all kind of ways (the good and polite manner ways, of course). Giving good example for new members to be, and don't scare those new members either.

Anyway, I just hope that I could open a little bit of your humanity heart. Be nice to each other, and don't worry much about the voting. Like I said, and like some of us here believe that we're here to share and NOT TO COMPETE.

Have a good day everyone.

This might be last year photos where I went to Robbie Williams concert in Perth, December 2006. They've been in my mobilephone for ages. I didn't have a chance to upload them to my computer. Finally I did. So here they are.

It's funny when sometime you saw yourself as the reflection of your mother. Not that I said my mother is good or bad. I always think my mother's motherly side is the best, in the ways of brought us up and cared for us till we stood up on our own feet.

I never thought that I would do what my mother did to us. But some other times, I've been doing what she has done years ago. For example this morning. I woke up at 6am, started with prepared a milk bottle for my youngest child, then prepared some stuff to be cooked for my husband lunch, since he had to leave the house at 7.15am for some early meeting in town. Then I had to get myself ready for morning and my kids ready for starting the day. Then prepared some lunch for my son to bring to school. By 8.30am, myself, my son and my daughter walked to my son's school.

I am a morning person. I have full dedication to my loving family. If I could do such things for them I feel my own accomplishment as a mother, a wife....and a person who loves to become a mother and wife.

Yesterday it was my cleaning day. I know, I only had one at home, while the other one was at school. But sometime you felt like you wanted to get your work done quickly so you could move on to other one. So, since my daughter into watching television then I put on Maisy on the farm DVD. It worked really well. She's having fun and entertainment. While I could finished my work....not so nice...cleaned bathroom and cleaned the house. When she finished, then we both moved on to go to do some groceries shopping. After that we had lunch together, we played....and when I took her for afternoon sleep, my body must need it too....since I felt asleep next to her.

I've been through some experiences or saw or read some people tried to give some of worthy advices to others. I found some people knew how to give the right advices at the right context and right time. Some could be just as pushy as they could be. For me giving advice is more like passing some opinions. Whether the person who receive the advice will take it or not, that his/her decision. Some advice givers could be so iron hands, he/she might not happy if we have different opinion with them. Sometime I would just thought....'hey...it's my life..I'm the one who will deal with it...so beat it, let me decide what best for me...and thanks for giving some words in my head'.

My mum once said life (or giving advice) was like playing with kite. You can't pull the string to hard, otherwise you might cut it off and loose the kite (the person you care), or you can't just let the string let loose. All also depends with the wind how hard and where it blows (which is more indicating the influences of life situation).

So, when I try to comment of people I would think first, find the right words and the right moment and be prepared that this person might not taking any words I've said. At the end it's their decision for their life. With that, I also wish that whoever try to give me some piece of words, I would appreciate if she/her wouldn't be so pushy. Sometime this forced opinion could do more harm than help. Instead you making closer relationship you might breaking it.

Anyway....this thing just came up on my mind. I though I would share piece of thought with you all. Whatever your opinion about this, I rest that on your hand.

Have a good weekend all.
