Most of her friends in school has easier last name and I really felt for her. I told her today that everyone could write their name and it is very essential that she could write hers as well.

It reminds me as well that when we were in the night safari in Singapore, we were watching a show and they were asking people where were they came from, she said she was a Chinese. So, when I told her that Chinese has Chinese name and she would have to write it with no choice, she said she did not want to be Chinese anymore.

I was holding her hands walking home, she said to me that if when I got old and ill, she would take me to the doctor. She told her that she would live with us and her husband would have to live on his own ^_^ (this will sure make daddy happier!)

Sorry for not able to update the blog for so long. Everyone took their turn to be ill last week. Talking about the Singapore trip… what can I say: Very exhausting for us. Hailey was an lovely angel on the plane but Chloe was… really a monster. She wanted to walk on the plane all the time and when she was not allowed to, she screamed and screamed and it did not help with the fact people on the plane thought that she was very cute kept playing with her. Thus, it gave Chloe, her majesty a big incentive to marched down the aisle and “greeted” her people. more…

On The Beach

It has been two days in a row now and my little monster Chloe decided she will make her own decision on clothes. This morning, she needed to go to school with Hailey and when I came out, she had a dress on with a trousers underneath. Bare in mind that that was not the latest fashion. I went to ask why she dressed like that, and Ika (my helper) told me that she will not wear anything but only those. Of course I will not let her go out like that. I went into her room and picked out a dress and said to her, “look! there is a cat on the dress!” Then, Chloe said “meow” and pointed at it and decided that she had some sort of connection with the cat and put it on. So, I think my nightmare started, I remember that Hailey used to pick her own clothes and it always lead to diaster. She would pick something that just did not match. May be, I should try the montessori way: only provide two choices. more…

I felt so bad yesterday about making her practice piano and it lead to a lot of tears. I wonder if I ruined her for life for yesterday. I felt so so bad that I have decided that I will just let it go today. I just make her practice 15 minutes before the performance. more…
