Scolding children early in the morning

This morning, i was very irked by the things Marcus and Mabel did, I did not want to scold them early in the morning, but I really could not control myself.

Marcus:
The usual practice was to pack the school bag the night before. This morning, Marcus came down to the living room with his pencil box, calculator, maths worksheet and Social Studies workbook. He sat on the sofa with all these thins laid beside him. My first question to him, are those things to be put into the bag?
He sighed, took maths worksheet, walked to his bag and put it inside.
Then i asked him again, what about the rest? he walked to the sofa, took a pencil box and started to walk towards his bag again. That was when I flared up and asked him, why can't he one shot take all his things and placed it into his bag?

So my long string of nagging started. I asked him why he can't place his things inside his bag the moment he came down from his bedroom? He told me he wanted to rest. Then I started again, why can't he do all his things first, then rest? Why must he rest first?

Last night before completing his homework, he took a rest before dinner, his homework was not completed. After dinner, he sat on the sofa and watched 'journey to the west'. I kept quiet. At 8pm, he went up to continue his homework. I do not know how long he took to complete his work, but close to 10pm (sleeping time), he asked me two maths question.

So while scolding him, i did bring up last night's issue.

My rationale:
When he came down with all his things from the bedroom, he would have easily just take a few more steps to his bag and placed his things inside his bag. It is so simple. Why must he carry all the things to the sofa and rest first?

Mabel:
After scolding Marcus, I saw a crossword puzzle paper on the piano. It was Mabel. She had some clues she could not solve. Again, i started scolding.

Last night, Mabel had the whole night to ask me about the cross word puzzle. Yes, true, she was doing e-learning in the night. But after that, 9pm when she started to watch tv, she had the time to ask me.

Rationale:
In the morning, that half an hour, there are many things to be done. Homework questions should be asked the night before, not in the morning!

After scolding them, i was so angry that i didn't realise i gulped down my coffee.

Was disappointed with both of them.

Random thoughts after reading newspaper

random thoughts:

1) Fatherhood makes andy lau happier and fatter.

2) fire at east village. just wondering, how the fire got to be so big and so diffcult to extinguish? It took 80 SCDF officers to extinguish the fire in 4 hours. Was SCDF slow in responding? inefficient to put out the fire? If buildings in Singapore goes through random fire check, then how is it that such an incident could happen? the fire checks on building is supposed to prevent fire, right? or to make sure that in event of fire, exits of building are not blocked? i think it's the latter.
read the report, if the fire started at around 830am, the SCDF received call at 905am, what took the hotel so long to call the SCDF???????? could the fire have been prevented from escalating if the hotel authorities had called SCDF earlier?

3) US dollor is at $1.26 against Sing dollar.

yah, i guess that's all for my random thoughts.

Women- big hearted?

Someone asked me this question. I don't have the answer.
Are women 大方?
For those reading this post, u can ask yourself this question.
Personally, for the man i love, I would. Sometimes the feeling may be sour, but got to trust your man, love conquers all. That is provided your man has been good to you. On that belief, i trust my man.
Gracious is the way to go in true love.

It was difficult to continue the post. Because I was thinking, if a man cheated, the woman would, for the sake of the family, stand by the husband. Just look at the case of those men caught in the sex with underage prostitute case. Did mrs shaw stood by mr shaw?
But if it was the woman who cheated, 99% of the men will not stand by the wife. Just look at the case of the scdf case.

Yes, men have their pride. Especially if the case is on news. Does it mean that woman doesn't have pride? No. I think it's because society has made women the weaker sex. Yes, we have come a long way and progress in women fighting for equal rights. But somehow, that's how far we can go. Men are from mars. Women from Venus, we can never be equal. We are made to be different.

Otherwise, women should go for NS and men should try child bearing. Men and women will never be the same. For women, we think with the heart, which proves to be complicated. For men, they think with their head, rationalize. Some silly men would think with their cock head.

Then why are some women small hearted? Maybe it's because they really love their men, that's why it matters to them. Maybe it's not that they don't trust their men, it's they don't trust the other women. But then again, if they trust their men, why would they worry about the other women? I really don't know.

So back to my question, and I hope u have seriously think about it. Are women big hearted, generous?

Eventful day

Since Sunday night, it has been rather eventful.

At 3 plus, realised max was turning and tossing in his bed. Then took his temperature. He was having a fever. Administered medicine. Didn't really get to sleep till 4 plus. Had to be patted to sleep

So took child care on Monday. Brought him to see the doc. After we came back, settled, Mabel called from school and said that she sprained her leg.

Rushed to school to pick her up and immediately brought her to see the Chinese physician. Luckily, it was nothing serious and immediately aft that, she could walk better.

The Chinese physician didn't apply on the right ankle which was the injured area. He pressed on the ear, left wrist and left ankle.

Anyway, was kept busy yesterday.

Blasted

Today, Marcus' procrastination really blasted me off. Already mood not very Sui, to come back to the procrastination displayed by him, I really blew my top.
