Recently, I've been pretty stressed up with clearing my stock, building my networking business, family issues, children's school that I realised I've been pretty harsh on the kids. Motherhood is not a easy path to take. Recently, I've been missing my youth.. wishing time could bring me back 10 years. To the time when we could go out when we want to, come back as late as we wish to, do whatever we wanted to, without having to worry about the kids - school, dinner, bedtime. There's more to that side of me which I shall not touch on for now.
So this week, I decided that I shall pick my 2nd boy from school, let him have some time with nature, before picking up the eldest from P1. On Monday, we stopped by a field, just beside our house. It's just a wide empty field. I let the Deshawn and Deshann run while I pack some stocks at the back of my Jazzy. They were wary of the grass. I'm thinking, oh no. So I showed them the 'touch-me-nots'. They were fascinated by it. Wanted to show Deshane how they close. We ran across the field to the riverside. They are doing some works at the river which is soon to be a reservoir. We looked at the cranes, the big barges closeup. Then we played catching. As we head back to car, Deshawn asked for more. He enjoyed the simple time we had.
Tuesday... Deshann was sleeping in the car seat. So we had to stop somewhere where we could let him sleep in the car, while we take a breather. I parked by a mini-park with a jogging track, cemented 'open' area, and a playground. That is as close to nature as we can get in Singapore. I ended up on the mini grass patch beside Jazzy. Deshawn was worried about sitting on the grass. It felt 'pokey'. He said it's dirty. Gesh! We used to run, roll, play on the grass and how much we loved it! A primary school teacher friend once told me she had students who refused to sit on the grass during PE lessons. Mind you, it's grass, not dirt! I let Deshawn sit on my lap and slowly transitioned him onto the grass. He got used to it. He used to play with the sand till his whole milk beaker was sandy! My, how fast they get 'concreted'. Nature is still best eh? It's absolutely fine to eat some dirt! Will give your immune system a boost!
Thursday... 'forced' Deshawn to sit on the grass if he wants to eat ice-cream, while waiting for kor-kor to be out. Deshann (just turned 2) refused to sit on the grass... pokey... he says...
I wonder... while we sit on the grass, play on it. What do people walking on the jogging path think? What will you think?

Singaporeans are a funny lot
Singaporeans are a funny lot.
Why?
Years back, we have to have campaigns.
Campaigns to teach us to be courteous.
Campaigns to remind us not to waste water.
Campaigns to 'Stop at 2'.
Campaigns to have 3 kids if we can afford them.
Then we need laws to teach us what we should not do.
We have to be fined for littering.
We have to ban chewing gum.
Now, we need a campaign to teach us to be gracious! My goodness. Are we not a developed country? Do we need to be taught simple things that every respectable human should know and do? To clear your table after you eat. Don't you do that at home?
I think it boils down to being considerate. Thinking for others. We are a selfish lot. And the scary thing is that our kids are learning to be like us. How many more generations will it take? For us to give up our seats to someone who needs it more than us, without signs to remind us. To clean up after ourselves, be it at a eating place, the restroom.
I see people throwing their trash on the floor when the dustbin is 5 steps away. I see a diaper conveniently stuffed on a shelf while shopping. I see a cup placed 'neatly' in the corner of a lift. I see people just walking away from their table after their meals, at IKEA, no doubt where their 'expectations' are so greatly spelled out, and collection points so clearly labelled.
When will we learn to be a gracious society? Maybe, just maybe this campaign might work! HA! If I'm a foreigner, I would think Singapore is a joke. But I'm Singaporean, and I really don't understand the actions of so many of my fellow men and women. *sigh*

Anger? Is it necessary?
I watch in amusement as the little girl pouts and stomps her way around the playground. She was so filled with anger, but what got her angry in the first place, was a mystery to me. Her anger further amuses a group of boys, who continue to taunt her by imitating her every move, and making her more angry. They were so amused by her anger. This mix of emotions, anger and amusement continues to escalate as they shadowed her around the playground.
The maid of the angry child noticed the harassment and feelings of the child but just brushed it off and told her to stop it. She was also busy watching over a younger toddler and at the same time trying to communicate with some other maids at the playground.
I pitied the little girl and told the boys that what they were doing is not nice. I did not totally blame the boys for doing that. I think most kids do not know how to feel for others, the amusement they got overshadowed empathy. Ironically, they chose happiness over anger.
My two elder boys were observing the children. Was I glad that they were not joining in the taunting! They were just watching the scene being played out, in real life. 'Pang guan ze qing' = Outsiders see a clearer picture. That gave me a good lesson to teach them. I always tell them to choose happiness. Teach them that they are the ones in charge of how they feel, always trying to encourage them to make right choices.
Firstly, the girl chose anger. She chose to be angry when she reached the playground. Instead she could always choose happiness, choose to enjoy herself while at the playground although there were other children around. When the boys started to imitate her, she chose to be more angry. She could ignore them? But yet she chose to let their actions increase the anger.
In fact, I pity the girl. Her anger was ignored. Her parents were not there to teach her to choose happiness. The maid brushed off her feelings as she had to look after a younger child. Was the angry girl jealous of the attention her sibling is getting? Was she angry over having no time spent with her parents? Was she angry that her feelings were ignored? Or was she just an angry person? Should she then be taught anger management? Maybe just more attention and love shown to her would make a difference?
This is also the main reason why I would want to be the main caregiver to my children, especially in their early childhood. I can feel and understand how they feel, or at least try to understand them. I want to be there to tell them and remind them to make right choices. I want to be there to protect them. I want to know what they go through. That is what a mother is. Being there for the children as much as possible. And I am glad that I spent the time with my kids.

Coincidences
How coincidental can you have 2 brothers-in-law (one, your sister's husband, one, your husband's brother) having the same birthday? Which is a day after yours? hahaha! confused? Well, that's my sister!
What about also having 2 brothers-in-law in the airforce, who went to USA too? That's my sister too!
What about your sister camping in a forest with a dear friend she got to know in far away USA chatting and finally realising that that friend is a long-lost secondary schoolmate of yours? haha.. that's my sister too!
The world of coincidences. How small the world is. So whatever you do, someone, somewhere, sometime, it will be linked back to you! So make sure you live a life you will be proud of! ;)

Friends, lovers, couples, partners
Humans cannot live alone. We are a social being. So relationships exist. Different kinds of relationship, for we play different roles.
Friendships.... we choose our friends, sometimes our friends choose us. How do we choose our friends? By common interests, common thinking, common goals, common schools... but as humans there are always differences. Are we willing to accept these differences? Do we accept the person for who he/she is? Or do we project our expectations on these friends and expect them to do as we do?
A dear friend mentioned about this saying she read... You judge people by what you are... I agree with it. How you think, how you reason, largely plays a part with how you view others. So be slow to judge, look at the situation from different angles, different views, through different coloured glasses... and do not expect people to think or act like you. Be quick to forgive, faster to forget. Life will be happier.
In a marriage, time dims the romance. Complacency, getting too comfortable sometimes makes life boring. Marriage is how you work things out. Just like any relationship. When kids comes, focus change. But it's always how you compromise, to bring you to many more years of wedded bliss. It might not be as blissful as it was, but always remember the commitment you made, the vows that you promised, the love that you shared. The love is always there.. somewhere deep within you, the spark just needs to be flamed, give it a gentle blow, let it breathe a little more.
Life is always what you make it out to be. Choose happiness, not anger. Laugh a little more, sing louder, dance crazily, give someone a hug, RIGHT NOW!
;) cheers!

The beauty of the internet
I wrote my last blog with intentions totally different from what i posted. It's wierd how my brain thinks, as I write too many thoughts run. So now, let's get back to what I originally intended!
3 friends, 3 time-zones, 3 countries. All meeting at one place. The internet. Chatting like we're over the dinner table.
Time and space is no longer an issue with the internet. Thoughts shared, feelings spilled, anything can be said, so much more easily over the internet. Maybe it's much easier to say out our true innermost feelings when we don't have to face the person? We don't have to worry about the other getting angry or sad, we don't have to worry about the initial reaction, don't have to deal with tears.
As we grow, we learn what is prim and proper. Courtesy, civility to others. Kids let out their true feelings because they have not yet learned what is the 'norm', what is the 'right' behaviour. Sometimes should we go back to being a kid, and learn from them? Say what we feel, instead of putting up a false front? Being more true, but at the same time, more willing to forgive and forget?

Changes of lifestyle
3 friends, in 3 countries, in 3 different time zones chatting together on the internet. Whoever will thought it possible 20 years ago... back then it was the mailman who brought news, or maybe a telegram from the post office...
Can u imagine one day without technology in your life? The handphone. We'll have to arrange to meet through a letter, confirm the meeting, be there on time, no last minute changes. hmmm... will we meet up then?
One day without electricity... oh my goodness.. can we function at all?
Came back one day to a lift that did not work. An elderly lady did not even dare to enter the lift. I checked with the guard and they said there was a test on the system. In that few minutes, a mini crowd gathered. I mean, can't we use the stairs? People used to walk miles but now we can't walk up a flight of stairs.. make that 5 for me. I headed up. I did not want to wait. At the 5th floor, I panted. I am weak. In need of exercise.. Is the gym where we need to go for exercise? Shouldn't physical activity be a normal part of life?
I'm heading to Chiang Mai for a holiday.. for a back to nature and basics holiday. I wonder how I will survive.. that'll be in Dec with the boys scout (my uncle is in the scouts, so we're tagging along!). We'll see how we manage then..

Asiaone : Penalise riders who do not give up seats to those in need
reading all the comments that were written makes me feel that Singapore is becoming more and more a selfish and inconsiderate society. Chivalry is gone to the wind. Now, I can hear all the guys saying... 'ya, only expect the men to give up their seats'. Guys, have you been pregnant? Do you know how tiring it can be? During the first 3 months of pregnancy, you are just physically tired even before you start to show. Your body is going through so many changes you lose track of it. The last 3 months is even more stressful on the back, go tie a medicine ball on your abdomen and carry that for a few days, DO NOT REMOVE IT AT ALL TIMES.
I do not think it necessary to penalise someone. Do we need to become a society where graciousness have to be coerced? We have already become such a 'fine' society. No where else in the world are there penalties for being ungracious. Maybe that is because graciousness is within themselves? Simple things like clearing your table, throwing your trash into a dustbin.
My sis went to Bangkok and boarded the train (similar to MRT). She has 3 young kids, and was with her husband and 2 adult friends. A few passengers willingly gave up their seats for the kids. They could be just as tired, but they understand that kids need it more than them. They did not complain, they did not pretend to sleep, they are gracious.

Breastfeeding
I've done it for all 3 boys. And I do not hide while doing it. No, I'm not going to restrict myself to a nursing room or dressing room for that 20 mins. I shop and feed, I eat and feed, I people-watch and feed, I even hike and feed. And no, I do not expose my breast, I just do it. I have people coming to me while I'm breast-feeding and they think that baby is sleeping. Only when I mention that I'm breastfeeding do they realise that, turn red and excuse themselves.
Reading Baby's Room = Diaper Change Room = Nursing Room = Family Room = Not Breastfeeding Room? and the comments posted, I think we have to learn to be more considerate. We are all mothers, and we understand what it's like to be one. I think the lady wanting to change the diaper can just ask if we can share the room. The writer, Linda Koh, can just offer to share the room. It seems that Linda's husband is telling them that the room is used and cannot be shared. If we are more tolerant, more considerate, I think life would be more pleasant. Sometimes, it just makes someone's day to see a smile, so smile, laugh, it'll make you happier too.

Abuse of maid
Some actions of Singaporeans are really to be laughed at. It's totally ridiculous and a great big joke. 'Jailed and fined for drawing on maid's face'
I never understand how one can pour scalding water on someone, use a hot iron to burn someone. These despicable acts are from people from respectable jobs. Few weeks ago, another couple, an aircraft engineer and air stewardess, were sent to jail for ill-treating their maid. As I read the headline today, I was laughing my guts out. What a childish thing to do! Drawing lines on your maid's face? My goodness!! Would you draw lines on your child's face if he/she does not close the door properly?
A maid is not a slave. You do not own her, so you treat her with respect. Well, unless you want your children to treat you such when you are old and 'useless'.
I can't imagine what she is going to tell her children when she is in jail for that 3 weeks. 'Oh, I'm going on holiday.' hahaha... if her kids were older, maybe they will just pick up the newspaper and read the news? Boasting in school, 'My mum is in jail for drawing lines on my maid's face!!'
I do not have a maid, I avoid having one. I'm lucky I'm a SAHM. I want my kids to be independent. I want my kids to clean up after themselves. If you have a maid, think about what you want your kids to become. What if you have to send your maid back? How will the household be ran? Be appreciative to the help you receive from your maid. And maybe she'll be more appreciative to you. In the days of early Singapore, nannies or ah-mas take care of the house. They are treated like family, so why can't we do so now? Is affluence authority for you to act like beasts? Remember the golden rule, 'Treat others the way you want them to treat you'.

Water
Water comprises 70% of our bodies. Water is an essential part of life. We can only live for a few days without water.
Has been trying to educate the boys on not wasting water. They turn on the tap full blast and leave it running while they slowly squeeze a pea-size of toothpaste on their toothbrush. At bathtime, they blast the shower head at the walls and door of the bathroom, while they stay mostly dry. We turn on the tap and there is water running. We take precious water for granted.
Was watching Planet Green last week on Discovery Channel, our favourite channel. It was talking about how people tapped spring waters by building long endless tunnels, and looking for new springs to keep the wells full. They are called 'fur-large', don't know the exact spelling and still trying to find out. Quickly grabbed the opportunity to tell the boys how much work they have to go to have clean water.
Received a bottle of NEWater on saturday, it was at Bedok Reservoir and learnt that Singapore International Water Week is held on 23-27 June 2008. Thought about how NEWater is recycled water. Are people receptive to drinking it? Researching a little bit further (it's simple nowadays, just search it on the internet...) I learnt that 82% of Sg'reans are prepared to drink NEWater. But then think about it, ain't waters from the reservoirs 'recycled' too? The mud in it, the poo of animals in it, ain't it as 'disgusting' if u think about it? Then think about the natural cycle of water... rain, evaporation, condensation.
Then did a bit more research... Water Facts. The earth is largely made up of water, but only about 0.007% of the earth's water is readily accessible for human use! Guess if someone comes up with some ingenious way of 'cleaning' water, he'll be a billionaire, made a hero, save the earth!
That is sometimes the irony of life ain't it. Water is so abundant yet so precious. Water... be grateful we have it running from the tap. Cheers!
