In His Time

Due to the continuous increase in the raw materials and packaging materials prices, our (the company I am working at) profit is very minimal now. We tried to find ways to increase the profit by reducing our cost. So far, we have been keeping low inventory and less manpower since business is kinda slow. Don’t need so many workers. But we can’t go one like this as we need to find ways to improve profitability, supply chain efficiencies, cost allocation and cost reduction. What the company need now is IT value management where it analyzes IT infrastructure and services for financial cost, business value and operational efficiency, resulting in a strong IT governance and financial transparency program.

This morning, I woke up early (6am) to cook. At 7.15am, Belle woke up crying, her nose is blocked. That woke Clarissa too. Well, let them watch Barbie vcd and continue with my house chores.

As I was brushing my teeth, Clarissa came to me. “Mommy, two pieces.” Pointing to the toothbrush and the toothpaste in my hand.” “Ya, two pieces if things.” “No Mommy, two pieces.”

Oh I get it… “Toothpaste is it?” “Yes, two pieces, Mommy.”

He drank 7 ounces of milk this morning at around 4am. First round, I gave him 3 ounces plus some water, finished but he still toss and turn, couldn’t sleep. “You want some more milk is it?” He cried. That’s a “Yes”.

Make another 2 ounces, finished. Drank some water but still don’t wanna sleep. Gave him my nen-nen, for comfort, don’t want also. Hmm… Maybe he needs a burp. Burp him but he still whines. “Do you want some more milk?” He cried. “Ok, Mommy make milk some more.”

Another 2 ounces, finished. Sleep.

How come so hungry today??? I think ah, maybe I breastfed him earlier at around 9pm instead of 10pm, so my milk is not sufficient for him to last the night.

If I were given a choice, I would like to live in a condominium. I like the package that comes with it. Especially when you are living in a city. Everything that you want is within the boundary. You have the security guard, the convenient store, launderette, swimming pool, gym, sauna, common hall and other value added services. With the internet now, you don’t have to go from site to site or from agent to agent to look for the desired condos. Everything is within a click of your mouse.

Yesterday, I told Belle that Shavina, her cousin is coming back. She is a Chindian.

“Mommy, Shavina black, black.”
“You cannot say that, make sure you don’t say black, black in front of Shavina’s mother, she will get angry.”
“But Mommy, I like black black.”

On the way to my mom’s to meet Shavina…almost reaching…

“Mommy, I won’t say black black ok?
“Ok.”

I like a hassle free vacation. Where I just pack my bag and board the plane. When it comes to accommodation. I like the price that I am paying for includes the room, food and activities. I can actually leave my purse behind when I want to eat or when I want to use the sauna or the Spa or snorkeling etc. Yes, an all inclusive vacation. Not many vacation sites offer this kind of package.

I check with my mom whether she did teach my boy to blink. You know lar, some old folks loves teaching babies to blink blink. My sis is one of them, she will say, “Chak Yen Ching” They do look cute when you tell them to blink and they blink at you but if they blink too often, then some thing is wrong somewhere!

My mom did not teach him but she did mention that normally when he is sleepy he would blink his eyes. Mystery solved. I normally feed him milk around 8pm, that’s his naptime. And 10pm, his sleeping time. No wonder he blinks.

Almost everyday, when fetching her from kindy, she will tell me, “Mommy, I ate noodle again” Cannot be everyday, the school gave the children noodle. Only twice in a week she will tell me something different, “Today, I eat milo and a lot a lot of biscuit.” “Today, I eat rice.” The rest of the day is “Noodle, Noodle and Noodle.”

Then I realized, BeeHoon is noodle to her. Mee is also noodle to her. Spaghetti is also noodle to her.

When I asked her, “Teacher gave you noodle again?” “Today, I eat noodle, white colour. Got egg, got chicken and soup.” So, I presume that is Mee Soup.

“Mommy, today, I ate noodle again. Brown colour.” “Big noodle or small noodle?” “Small noodle.” So, that will be BeeHoon.

“Mommy, today, I ate noodle again. White colour and very long and hard.” So, that will be Spaghetti.
