I'm sitting on my couch, waiting for dinner to be served. No, not by ZY but by a new addition to my family- my domestic helper. I've more or less become a typical Singaporean working mum- first comes the baby, then comes the car, and when second baby comes, domestic help also arrives. Been resisting or rather, delaying this idea of employing a helper for quite a long while. But as baby no. 2 is coming (in about 3 months time!), we thought maybe a helper would be useful for my MIL. Our helper has been here for exactly 2 weeks now, and the house has never been SO clean before!! The floor squeaks when we walk, the toilet floors and kitchen tops are stainless, everywhere is dust-free, and even our plastic bags collected over the years are neatly folded and stacked! Even after cooking, I don't have to wash the dishes!! I'm hoping and praying that this helper can be as enthusiastic and responsible as she is now until she leaves us.

Charlene has changed slightly in the manner she plays and talks- more mature, but yet rougher. This could be because both my godsons, T and J, have come back from America. She has been playing with them on Sundays and on other occasions. Now, she has learnt to recognise Ultraman figurines and drawings and calls them Dyna. She is slightly more aggresive and domineering when she plays. Probably beneficial for her, coz it'll toughen her and prepare her for playschool??
She also has weird ideas and reasons. Like the recent stay at Sentosa, she wanted to defecate. So she said something like this:
Ch: Mommy, I want to defecate. My faeces are at my "屁骨" (translated as buttocks) so I must save them and let them go home to the toilet bowl.
Mommy and Daddy: LOL!

Baby no. 2, aka Lucas, is quite different from Ch. At least when it comes to loud noises. I remember when I was pregnant with Ch, she would react quite violently when I was in an environment with loud noises. Like when I watched a movie, or when we went for a wedding dinner. She kicked and punched me so much when the loud noises/ music started. Whereas for Lucas, he's totally the opposite. I watched the Incredible Hulk last Friday. ZY kept asking if Lucas moved, but then, he only gave occasional kicks to indicate his presence. No violent reaction.
