so darn busy at work before cny and after cny

so during cny, my mind literally took off 3 days. started working on sunday, the day just before school reopens.

now back at work, what can i say, so darn busy and dunno why put in so much.

cny just comes and goes so fast, no mj, so boringggggggggggggggggg! but lots of people come to my house this year, my house became the headquarter. it's funny how people can judge you by the house you own. this year, suddenly so many relatives come and visit my mother in law and father in law. it's actually a good feeling, no need to rush to go out, just stay at home and wait for people to come.
lucky, went marketing with mil before cny, stock up enough food to cook for guests.
oh yah, talking about food, i've never bought 1kg $68 worth of fish. it's only 8 pieces of fish. this is the kind of fish that teochew people eat, once a year only during cny. my mil fried it. very delicious. i'm not the eat fish kind of person, but 1kg $68, i make sure i savour every part of the fish including the eyes.

i also had a good time with my children. marcus had a good time catching up on his games, just check on him occasionally, he'll update you on his games.

had a good time with mabel, playing sudoku with her, painting nail polish, bathing for her and both of us had a good time playing with max too.

max is slowly progressing a little. he still can't say much thing except for papa, yeye, yiyi, Tin, jiejie, mum mum (for eating). he still refuses to call mummy. but i think i heard him sound something like 'sandra'. i've passed the job of teaching him say 'mummy' to mabel. the jie jie will train him.

as usual, he's fun to be around with. although he doesn't pronounce much words, he has a way to express himself. if he wants you to sit beside him to play the toys with him, he'll point to the floor and ask you to sit down. he'll know when is the time to go out, he'll go and bring his own shoes. you will pull your leg to indicate that he wants you to follow him. and yesterday when i bring him to the market, he was suddenly like very close to me. refuse to come down to walk, wants me to carry him, then he'll hug you, play with your hair, just place his head on your shoulder.
