No loud thunder again

Thank goodness the loud thunder has stopped... my 2 boys was clinging on to me for their lives when there was loud thunder. And Junior was sitting closed by cos he was afraid of the thunder too. And Poofie was barking away becos the thunder was too loud.

When I was young, someone told me that the louder i shout, the louder the thunder...

Oh, I have to look up on the internet... Gaby asked me this just now "how come there are thunders? God made it?" I didn't know how to answer this yet so I just told him that "God must be very angry with some naughty children now so he is scolding them." He wasn't quite convinced with my answer so he asked again when the next thunder strike again... haizzz... ok, ok, mummy will look up the internet to find the answer and tell u tomorrow.

Luck cheong and dried octopus...

Mr Lee caught Junior stealing food from my marketing bag this morning. Found him eating the dried octopus that I bought for making soup. Then in the afternoon, I caught him red handed again! This time, he was chewing away on the luck cheong (chinese sausage) that was still in my marketing bag...

Some days ago, I was looking high and low in my kitchen for the dried octopus when i wanted to make soup. But just couldn't find it. I checked with Nika cos sometimes she'll store the stuff that I bought from the market deep into the cupboards so that Alex will not play with them when he finds it. But she did not see it at all. So I was just suspecting that perhaps Junior has eaten it... cos I remembered quite clearly that I left it in my bag after coming home from the market. And since Nika did not clear my marketing bag, then how come it was gone? I even suspected myself from being forgetful, thinking that perhaps i have already used it for making soup.

Shorter version

No more Caffine for me please

Ran out of the normal painkiller last nite so no choice, I took some super strong painkiller for my headache. Indeed, the headache was gone half hour after I took the medicine. But I couldn't sleep till almost 2am! So this morning I took out the tablets and read on the back of the medicine content that it contains 65mg of caffine. Haizz... no wonder...

So u see... the headache was gone after i took some painkiller (actually just one tablet) but becos of not having enough sleep (I was up at 6.30am), I felt so miserable the whole morning.

Lesson learnt... check the medicine before taking them!

Water boys

We went to the pool today. It's Alexius' 1st trip to the swimming pool and Gaby's 1st trip after the drowning incident 2.5 years ago.

Gaby used to love going to the pool when he was younger. But after that incident, he was so scared that he didnt dare wash his head standing up. I had to do it the "baby style". It took almost 2 years for him to overcome the fear of water touching his face and shampoo his hair standing. I have been telling him that it wouldnt be scary the next time we visit the pool becos mummy will be there to hold him.

This morning when we decided to bring the boys to the pool, i could see that Gaby seemed a little hesitant about the trip. But I assured him that it wouldn't be that scary now becos he is a bigger and stronger boy so he wouldnt trip in the waters easily. And I will be holding on to him till he is confident.

When we were at the swimming pool, all Gaby wanted to do is to stand at the stairs leading into the pool. He was just comfortable with the water up to his knees. It took him a little while to "warm-up"... Alexius was quite ok. He didn't seem to be scared of the water. Mr Lee carried him into the waters and showed him about blowing bubbles with the water... We brought 2 toys into the pool to make it more fun for them. The toys helped cos they can squirt water at dad dad and mummy.

We spent about 45 minutes at the swimming pool and I am already super tired. Gaby enjoyed the outing so much that he asked if we could go "swimming" again soon. I kept praising him of not fearing the waters now. He told me that he dreamt about swimming when he nap just now! Too bad I had my bag locked in the lockers. Didn't take any photos. Oh, and I nearly forget to collect my bag from the locker when we left!

We have to remember to bring the swimming floats during the next trip so that we don't have to hold on to them the whole time!

Apple wants to take the lift

We have 3 terrapins... Gaby named them - the large one is Lemon, medium one is Apple and the small one is Strawberry. We have been keeping them for almost 2 years now. Previously it was Lemon that had tried running away from home. The last attempt was about 2 weeks ago. I found him wandering in our living room. I have been thinking of getting a big tank for the 3 of them cos the one that Lemon was staying is too small and to shallow. He has managed many times to get out of it. Anyway, to cut the story short, I got a new tank last week and have transferred all three into the same tank. So, hoping that there won't be anymore runaway incidents. Haizzz...

My neighbour came knocking at my door just now. She found Apple in front of the lift. Checked with both Gaby and Nika and they were not the ones that took Apple out. So the biggest culprit would be Alexius... I hope. Else how would Apple managed to get his way out of the tank??

I wonder how he managed to sneak out of the house?? What has Lemon been telling him about the world outside their tank?
