First Day To School

[TingMS]

Yesterday marks the first day for my little boss to school or I should say playschool. Can't imagine it was so stressful for my home minister and myself. Despite all the persuassion, sleep talk, makan talk and even 'teng tiaw' talk, he still throw tantrum when he reaches the 'tadika'. Imagine it took us more than half hour to reach there even though the 'tadika' is just behind my house.

Thinking it was only my little boss would misbehave, I was surprised to see 9 out 10 'little boss' or 'little emperor or empress' crying, clinging hard to the parent's leg. :cool: I remember I had to walk to the 'tadika' with the 'motor buruk' geng for around 10 minutes all by ourselves. Those teachers really had a wonderful time entertaining them.

Kids are kids. Maybe I should blame ourselves for pampering 'the little boss' too much.

This morning, according to my home minister, he is better except looking high and low for the daddy who has since disappeared after he went to the toilet to 'niau-niau'. Hopefully this trick will still work in the coming days...

And lagi beh tahan, my home minister told me that he refused to go back home this morning after the school hour is over ..... because he wants to stay longer and play at the tadika....

What to do with him...

[Alkapocino]

Hey Ghostie, the "tadika" teacher "chun" or not. If "chun" I don't mind sitting through the class with your kid. ;)

Thanks for sharing. Though he may sound stubborn, but he's only a child. And I really appreciate the 'daddy's' heart you have for him, your son. I love to hear these sort of stories or sharing.

If I become a daddy, I think I would also pamper my little boss. After all, he's the little boss, right?

Do treasure these moments, soon they'll grow up big to adulthood, that's when we'll start looking back and reminiscing the good times.

Roland, I would definitely agree with you. Every moment, every second seeing my little boss grow up is precious to me. One thing for sure, if avoidable, definitely i would not want him to go through the same childhood hard life I had gone through. Childhood life is so short. Look at us, seems like it was only yesterday, we were playing with 'guli' or 'mang guli'. It is good also for the younger ones to go through some of the hardship we had gone through but not all.

As for this morning, I am happy, smiling deep inside, my little boss is going to the 'tadika' with the grandmother,without tantrums, without crying. The catch, had to bring him to play with water later in the evening.

No wonder, younger ladies starts calling me uncle...

:D

[siewjang]

Uncle, what is your little boss favourite song? :D

[athena]

It is so nice to hear of stories like these....but I am afraid, I am not as patient as HappyGhost. I am a rather impatient person. My little boss, when i have him/her, eventually, i do not know how he/she gonna tahan me..haha....but no matter how impatient i am, i don't think i can rotan my kid. gotta leave that to my future husband.

Dear Athena, you will know when the time comes if you will be patient or not. Just for your information, I am too, a very hot tempered person. But each time when it comes to the little rascal, when he smiles at me, my heart just melt away. That is the reason he is my 'little boss'.

Anyone else care to share about his/her son/daughter experience first day of school?????

Give them Guinness Stout. Will knock them out straight away. No cane needed. :D

But seriously once you have kids, your heart will change. Believe me.

[siewjang]

The only chinese song my 4 y/o know 小韦

[Alkapocino]

Not bad....when I was her age I only know "ker ren lai...kang ba ba" :D

[siewjang]

I should be the lucky one as my daughter doesn't even throw any tantrum when i send her to playschool when she is 3 y/o. Bring her to the kindergarten a day earlier, show her around school and those toys. Viola... the next day, she walk in the school by herself. Anyway, she is the brave type. I can't take the compliment from that.

[siewjang]

My mom said, pa pa not at home, cannot let strangers in hor. From there, i stop teaching my kids the song.

[athena]

heheh..tat song i think everyone knows...hehe...

Siew Jang,

Wish my son can do that, hopefully by next week...
:cool:

[siewjang]

I'll keep you in my prayers.

:cool:

Yea, I think when you start having children, then you'll actually know how you'll respond to them. HappyGhost is like a very loving parent, who loves everything about his child.

Ya, I think a parent will feel it when the child expresses care for the parent. I'm sure my parents would be delighted when I tell them I love them. I think it means a lot to them, and certainly, that is enough to make your day.

[Sarah]

I would think like Athena too.. I am very bad-tempered too. Don't think I can stand kids throwing tantrums. Having said that, we will never know until we have kids. But I must make sure I don't spare the rod. It's only for the good of them.

Btw, I used to be a kindergarten teacher for a short period. It was sooo funny on the first day. Yeah, you get to see all the children clinging on to their parents and just refused to let go. Half of them will be ok by the 2nd day... then 3/4 of the class will take maybe 3-4 days... then lastly a minority will need more than a week. But this particular girl ( i handled 4 yrs old class) was soo stubborn.. it took her weeksss to get used to school. But I had to put a stop in that, cuz her mum needs to work and has no one else to take care of her if she takes her girl home.

So I had to hold her tight when her mum went away while she cried and struggled!! Just imagine, she was sooo strong!! gosh... I almost wanted to slap her... haha... that really tested my patience.

After she cooled down, i asked her a question, what does she want to do if she doesnt want to attend school to study???

Her reply: "I just want to sleep and eat and bathe for the rest of my life".

I was stunned!!! a 4 year old girl answered that!! I wonder what would become of her if she really holds on to her idea of life... :)

[LiLiaN]

every child is different from one another... parents need to know how to respond accordingly, depending on the child's personality...

have been following this BBC show in conjuction with Open University calls "Child of Our Time" (http://www.open2.net/childofourtime/) - they follow kids born in 2000 so they're all 5 years old now... lots of pointers with regard to child psychology and development etc etc etc... absolutely mind-opening...

Wah..so lucky...

My son is quite a shy kid and will hide his face whenever he meets people he doesn't know well. So before sending him to the nursery for the first time at age 3, I had to brainwash him all the time...tell him how nice the school, teacher, toys, other kids...blah,blah,blah..are and pretend to be super enthusiastic (and speak in kiddy high-pitch voice) as I took him around the premises. Same approach when we decided to switch to a different place this year. So far so good ;)

[daLady]

Athena and Artemis....I have no doubt motherhood will change how you perceive children and the way they behave, especially your own. If there's anything you need to worry about, it's how to stop yourself from over-indulging and pampering them :)

[Sarah]

Yeap DaLady, I do believe you!

[TingMS]

I had to go back home to pick up my equipments for a 'cangkul rumput' session later in the evening. Guess what is waiting for me as I enter the house...

"Daddy, daddy, I got present for you, a caterpillar....., very nice hor...",

It was a handicraft from the 'tadika'.

Man, I do feel good...

:D

[siewjang]

Ghostie, wait till Valentine's day and they will come back with a heart-shaped card. But the handwriting was from the chick (teacher la). Daddy & Mummy, I love you. :D That will sure melt your heart.

And Father Days too... more to go, uncle...

[siewjang]

"Daddy, daddy, I got present for you, a caterpillar....., very nice hor...", :D
You are the caterpillar in his eye... slim and slimy :D

It's so heart-warming to hear stories like this. happyghost, please do keep those things coming, I love to hear these kinds of stuff.

I love the song Butterfly Kisses by Bob Carlisle, about the daddy's love for his daughter, and every step of growth, recorded to her marriage.

I think I truly agree with Bob Carlisle when he started the song by saying, "there's 2 things i know for sure; she was sent here from heaven, and she's daddy's little girl..."

Every moment you have with your children is precious. Man, I look forward to being a daddy...

You'll be great husband and a daddy, young man... :)

Advice for the day: If you have a lot of tension and you get a headache, do what it says on the aspirin bottle: "Take two aspirin" and "Keep away from children."

They may look angel but at times..... real headache.

[Roland_Tang]

For a child who gives you headache, it's advisable to discipline him/her where required.

Well, I don't know, but I think it'll be fun playing with the kids.

[KoChun]

Well, I don't know, but I think it'll be fun playing with the kids.

Kids (1-3 yrs old) can be very fun to play with and very irritating at the same time. That's the beauty of it. I love playing with 1-3 yr old kids. After that, tendang them saja!!! :eek:

KoChun, next time in Klang help me to babysit my kids for a while. See how fast can you tendang them.

Tips: They love tit bits.

[KoChun]

Got comprehensive insurance for them or not? If not, my advice, buy first. Then I babysit for you. Mana tahu, nanti kena tendang pulak. :D

Seasons used to be the best for pastries. But after changing of ownership, basically its reputation has gone into the drain.

Then came Lavender, from the same person who starts up Seasons (unconfirmed news), capturing much of the market share.

Ask Alk, he has tasted the food there. :D

[dtchieng]

in the beginning... the story on ghostie's son was very heartmelting...
also lot'sa good advice...

now talk abt bread pulak.. apala.. straying la.. nanti roti boy pun masuk... woii!!!

So, today Friday, Happyghost, hav u enlightened ur son abt tomolo being no-school-day? His reaction?..

[Roland_Tang]

HappyGhost, you are the man! Thanks, you are like my role model. Especially when you display patience and love for those 'rascals'.

I love kids. They mean so much. I remember I took care of a baby once (happens to be my lecturer's baby, and also my CF advisor), man, he was so cute. I would just carry him everywhere, show him things, just play with the sisters. I just fell in love with him. The most memorable thing for me was, when we finished church service (I would follow my advisor's family to church), we had lunch together. I was just clinging on to the baby boy, and playing with him.

When it was time to leave, the boy would not leave me, eventhough mummy beckoned him to her, to leave for home. Wow, I almost cried. The boy loves me too....

Man, I feel like I'm on cloud 9 remembering this now...

I love kids and babies, but I can't think of commiting to a partner yet. Too afraid, don't know. The time will come, I know it. Maybe when the right one comes...

[LiLiaN]

roland, you must be the only guy in early 20's that i know who can't wait to have kids...
those i know are scared stiff of the responsibilities, and baby cries!

by the by, this was a conversation at santa's grotto before xmas...
kid: hello santa...
santa: hi, what is your name?
kid: my name is simon...
santa: have you been a good boy, simon?
kid: yes, i have been verrrrrrryyyy good.. *grin*
santa: what would you like to have for xmas, simon?
kid: what? how can you ask me that? i have sent you a letter! did you not read it?!

didn't know how that will end if the mummy didn't stop him there.... :rolleyes:

[BohPian]

I remember when our son was in pre-nursery at 3, there was a girl who always insists in holding his hands on the way home. At first, when he refused, she would cry until he had to give in.

It was so hilarious and cute to see them holding hands every single day on the way home for the whole year.

Eventually, they went to separate kindergartens.

Nowadays, kids are so different from us. They seem to grow up so much faster. Maybe, it is the environment that they are exposed to.

kids nowadays have much more environmental stimulus than our days... the more stimulus, the more developmental growth, the smarter they get, the more also they can talk back (like my little cousins - so glib with words!)...

Today is Saturday. Marks the first weekend holiday for my 'little boss'.

Crying in the early morning, insisting of going to school, woke up the whole neighbour........

Nope...

None of that happened. :D

Last night when was ask if he is going to school this morning, the answer was, "Daddy 'ia ngong', saturday holiday mar...." When ask further what is he going to do on saturday, and the answer.... "sleep"

Hahahahahaaa

However he did woke early this morning and did ask if he needs to go to school. When told by my the home minister that saturday is a holiday, he continues with his sleep.

Kids, sekejap macam tahu, sekejap macam tak tahu......


Another thing I observed, his appetite is better. Yesterday afternoon I was told he managed to finish almost the whole plate of chicken rice.. Maybe the singing, the reading, and playing is making him hungry. Normally, my son is very picky when it comes to food. And , hopefully, at this rate, he will gain a few more kilos. He is too thin at the moment. Almost like me when I was at his age. Skinny..... Skinny....

Well, hmm, I guess I just love kids. That maybe the only thing why I wanna be a daddy quick. However, it's a little different when it comes to ladies. Guess sometimes we adults are more complicated in our thinking.

Haha, so, kids can be pretty confused sometimes huh? Great input!

I suppose kids, when they're hyperactive, they have a better appetite. By the way, is your son hyper, happyghost? Would like to know. Maybe you can share how you have been managing his hyper (if he's one...)

[daLady]

For a child who gives you headache, it's advisable to discipline him/her where required.

Well, I don't know, but I think it'll be fun playing with the kids.Agree that playing with kids is fun....but when they are your full-time responsibility, it's another story...

Most of my son's teachers say he is rather talkative. Once, he went to the wrong class and the teacher ask him what he's doing there, he said "The fatty teacher ask me to come here"...poor teacher tak lalu makan that day...

And the most common phrase I hear from him (at least 5 times a day) would be "Do you love me?" If you say yes, he'll respond..."Come play with me". Beh tahan...

haha..i rmbr last time when my cousin was about 4 y/o, she very teruk wan, always wanna kiss ppl on the LIPS!!. so one day, while having dinner with her, her mouth was gleaming with oil, she ask me for a kiss, said no first time, she started throwing tantrum, so with all the oil terpaksa la kiss her....that kid was just too darn adorable....

[Roland_Tang]

Wow...can you come and babysit my kids for me sometimes...while boss and I go out for our date? Which church you are attending now...send my kid to the Sunday school there and you help me watch ok?

dalady, roland is based in penang, unless you wanna go there la...

Ya, I'm in Penang. But I am willing to do it free of charge. That is, if you're willing to bring him here.

[Roland_Tang]

Agree that playing with kids is fun....but when they are your full-time responsibility, it's another story...

I know, if he or she's the only thing on my list to take care of (minus work and church), I wouldn't mind investing all my time to developing and spending time with them. I think one of the greatest things you'll ever enjoy when they are grown up is to see them successful, and loving the family.

I would love to be adored by my kids. And I believe time spent with children is always worthwhile, because they are the future.

[TingMS]

Haha, so, kids can be pretty confused sometimes huh? Great input!

I suppose kids, when they're hyperactive, they have a better appetite. By the way, is your son hyper, happyghost? Would like to know. Maybe you can share how you have been managing his hyper (if he's one...)

Well, Roland, I won't categorised him as hyperactive even though he likes to climb here and there, run around, you know, do the things kids likes to do..
he is still managable..... heheheee...

This morning my little boss actually woke up earlier than me. He went to sleep earlier, around 9:30pm. I guess he must be tired after playing in the swimming pool. Quite surprised that he was eager to go to school. NO tanturm, no hesitation, nothing, woke up, drink his energy drink, change,brush his teeth, put lots of oil on his hair, comb it until 'lalat' also cannot 'hinggap', then hold his grandma's hand waving bye bye, telling me and my home minister he is going to school..

hahahahahaaaa

my son, ohh my son...

:D

I'll say, a son will always bring many smiles and joy and laughter. It's so different if the kids are not your children. I think love is what binds them together.

I'm so glad your 'litte boss' is happy to go to school. When I was attending kindy, I was eager to go too. You know why? Because I had someone I liked, an angel.

Hmm, better watch your little boss, he may be adoring a little angel there too. Haha.

I sure could use your bay-sitting service...:D Dem!!! Why aren't there more people like you around to make my life easier?

So your are learning ABC's from the start again, ghostie?

My observation is, after the kids mixed around with their new friends, they picked up all sorts of skills and habits - some good some not so good. We have to be careful and admonish them with great care.

Hygiene is another concern. Be careful when the kids actually shared the utensils at the nursery. Hmm...just be careful. We can't always be around our kids but we can definitely decide what's best for them now.

[TingMS]

well,

we do learn a lot from kids nowadays. As mentioned earlier, kids nowadays are getting smarter and smarter.

this is how the little rascal looks like.....

[TingMS]

Things are really going well at the school.

Today, he brought back a 'taugeh' planted on some cotton. He seems to be very excited about it. Miss Mary says this... Miss Mary says that..... Even try to 'kelentong' his old man that his 'taugeh' will grow into a big tree. Then can climb up and kill the giant... I didn't remember telling him 'Jack and Beanstalk' Story.. :rolleyes:

heheheee

Another thing, kids can't be trusted with secrets. Brought him to a empty land nearby my house. Full of with mud holes. Thinking of how enjoyable it was for me when I was young, I let him down to play. Good gracious, he really enjoyed himself playing with the 'red' mud. Dirtied his whole body, and insist me to bring him there the next day.... Had to bath him from head to toe...heheheee...

Worried that my home minister will be mad, I told my son not to tell her. And you know what, he told her immediately when my home minister came back from work. :D Even tell her that he was told not to tell her. My home minister just can;t stop laughing...

:D

[daLady]

Thanks for posting your kid's pic...at least I know it's normal for kids to be thin at this age. My son is also really skinny...

[TingMS]

Well, whether skinny or chubby, it doesn't really matter. As long they are healthy then it is okay. :D

brought tugeh home ehh...

try explain the science behind the taugeh growht to him.. i'm serious.. he may be able to understand the scientific explanation.
instead of talking kiddie stuff to kids, try give them a few dose of academic stuff.. the kids may surprise u with their intelligence.
They can understand higher cognitive stuff becuase their daya pemahaman and penerimaan very very high.. like sponge..

[Alkapocino]

Shh...you have seen the underwear. Haven't you? :p

[dtchieng]

haha... Miss is more accurate!

here goes... science for kids!

the little taugeh is like a marshmallow stuff inside the seed, with a hard armour protecting it. There is a tiny hole (micropyle), like a small window where the little taugeh can peep outside to see if the weather is good for it to come out, also to check if there is enough water and no bad animals that can eat it up before it can come out of the armour-coat.

When put on wet cotton, the little fella inside to seed can know that there is enough water outside for it to grow. the little fella need the water like baby need milk. so, the little fella put out his foot, the root, form the tiny window, to suck the water from the cotton until it bloats up and there's no more room left inside the seed coat.

Becuase it is so stuffy now inside the seed, the little fella decide to come out of the coat. the little fella put his head, that looks like little leaf out of the tiny hole. Now, the seed coat also very soft and easily broken. The tiny fella inside the seed push and push himself out of the window. and finally, the coat breaks off, and the tiny fella is now ouside the seed as your taugeh...
the end...

[Alkapocino]

haha... Miss is more accurate!

here goes... science for kids!

Hey Guys and Gals,
The discussions seem to have deviated from the original intention the thread is about. I had to look for a nice posting 4 or 5 pages back from the last page. What's this about the undergarments and etc? Hmm, I wonder... :confused:

Hope to hear more about the little bosses involvement in school. I think that's what the thread is about.

Gee, thanks, but I don't really frequent the forum. Only once a while. This forum is high maintenance.

Yeah, more stories please....Those with kids, please share the things that happened in school...

Thanks.

darn it... i had to go to lecture (primate evolution!).. came back topic already stray and back... miss all the fun...

as i have no kids, i'll only share my baby cousin's punya story...

one day he overheard someone who mentioned about going on diet (jien fei - translated : cut the fat)....
he then kindly offered to bring scissors to help... :p

What will your respond be when you was about to leave work in the morning and found out that your 5 y/o child did not do her homework the day before?

I was blaming myself. Why did I missed checking her bag the night before?

Parenting is something that the teacher didn't taught us in school. Hmm.... when are they going to include in the subject? All they thought is sex, sex, sex.

[Roland_Tang]

You mean they teach sex in primary school? I didn't know that.

There are management classes, but yup, nothing on parenting. Maybe can propose to the ministry...

[siewjang]

I didn't say it wor. What i mean is, the Ministry thought of implementing sex education but didn't think of parenting.

[athena]

[Roland_Tang]

I didn't say it wor. What i mean is, the Ministry thought of implementing sex education but didn't think of parenting.

Ok, taken out of context.

Anyway of proposing a new subject called 'Parenting' to the ministry? Somehow, I think lots of people loathe the idea of being a parent when they're schooling. Only when they're older, then they begin to see the need for such 'training'.

Yes it does. But not many think that far. Most will think of the pleasure, not the responsibility.

aiya.. you know wat's the real problem???

YOU ALL!!! :mad:

everyone always blame the school for not teaching this and teaching taht..
dey... come one la... u really want the school to teach everything??!

after that then... you folks are the one that complain that the pupils workload and backload too heavy....

just because you think that there's some matters that people need to learn, then they should be taught in school.. tak boleh la like that...

school is just the formal institution of education. the society, the family, the father and mother,... all are involve in informal education.

formal education alone only gives you the head knowledge... and head knowledge without living it out is dead...

logos without rhema is dead! :mad:

[TingMS]

Not much to tell abuot my little rascal as I am quite busy with my work. When I reaches home, he was almost asleep... just a simple goodnight kiss to him and he was on the way to the dreamland. I left earlier than him this morning..

Wonder what 'good' news he will tell when I get back later...

I have to agree that we have lots to say about the education system. All the things about sex should be taught by the parents through informal education.

We need to be very cautious on our children as peer pressure could be a factor to cause them to fall prey to the 'norm' of society.

:

Well, maybe I am wrong, my home minister and my intention of sending him to 'tadika' is to let him mix around, play around, enjoy himself with the children within his age group...

So far no concern if he learns or not how to read or write, but one thing, each time when talking with him about his 'school' he is excited and happy, smiling, laughing and sometimes also 'kelentong' his old man. I feels great from his responce and I would say that is all I expect from him ... As he gets older, maybe, maybe more emphasis will be put on his education... For the time being, let him enjoy himself... All of us can only be a three old children once...
:D

[dtchieng]

that's the spirit!
i agree 100%. that kids should be allowed to play more....

[Sarah]

yeah dt, I agee with you that parents are part of the education system. For parents to deal with sex, may be the hardest topic to even talk about.. But think of it, if parents don't teach, who will teach them, some other ppl.. peer groups, some tom dick and harry, and worst still if your daughter esp is taught by some other "hamsap" man... In fact, i never agree that sex education whould be taught by school, parents should be the ones!

[Sarah]

Even if your kids are at a very young age... do teach them about their "private parts" as they will be curious about it... and that boys and girls should never "touch" one another... and so forth... sex is a lifelong education and it should never be defered until later at life. When they have their own perception on sex, nothing u say can alter it...

KIDS ARE SO OBEDIENT...

When the little rascal got home, my home minister was shocked to see both his ears were extrodinary red in color. Fearing that he might involved in a fight with someone else or fell down or ...??? , we asked him and grandma.

Yesterday, the teacher taught the little rascals a new game called... "If you know it...." plus the songs...

I think most of us know song too..

First it was the hand clapping,
then leg stomping etc...
Lastly it was the ear pulling..
And kids obediently pull it too, so hard some more...until it was red all over...
When asked if he enjoyed the game, the answer was yes and again, he pulled his ears, hard again...

Little rascal, what to do with him...
:D

Haha, because of innocence, that's why your little rascal is obedient. I think it's nice when kids are obedient. Some kids are different, they just don't want to listen. I'm sure it's way harder to handle these kids.

Well, my little rascal is not feeling well since Saturday. Down with fever, coughing and running nose. Brought him to see his favourite doctor, Dr Alex..
My son is down with cold and lots of phelgm ... My only worry, hope it will clear fast, donlt let it develope into pneumonia..

Despite the fact that he is not feeling well, he still insist of going to 'school' this morning. So after taking the medicine, off to school under an umbrella since it was drizzling this morning. Little rascal is little rascal, he actually feels excited and laughing under the umbrella, whereas my home minister and myself was worried he might get worse for being under the rain, even though with an umbrella covering his head..

My little kid, what to do with him...

:D

[Dino]

Opps!! There goes the 'Awwww!!' again!! :o

[daLady]

In what way are they touching themselves? I don't quite understand.
Just touching their private part lah...what else. For example, if I see a little boy keep touching or squeezing his thing...should it be ignored? Of course we should ask what's wrong first...whether it's painful or itchy...in case it requires medical attention. But if no...should ask him to stop it or not?..and if ask to stop but still never stop...what to do?

[daLady]

Hahahahaa...

Good for you, Dino, Good for you...

Well, my little rascal is not feeling well since Saturday. Down with fever, coughing and running nose. Brought him to see his favourite doctor, Dr Alex..

Kids are just so amazing...unlike us adults. Unless they have really high fever or are experiencing pain, they'll go on as though they are perfectly alright...skipping and jumping. Most of us, on the other hand, will start to feel weak and cranky once we come down with a mild fever...

Right, agree with you. They always have their hearts in tune with the activity, nothing deters them. We, on the other hand, always find excuses whenever possible. Especially when it's work we're talking about, compared to school.

[LiLiaN]

that's probably because as adults, we're getting disillusioned about many aspects of life... sad, isn't it..?

Hmm, I never knew of kids (boys) doing that. This is the first time I'm hearing a small kid (I'm assuming) doing that.

Well, I am assuming that the action is a bad one. If yes, then you should be reprimanding him. He should learn that from young, because activities picked up at a young age can be pretty hard to kick, once it becomes a habit.

Hmm, it's wise not to spare the rod. And there are times where it is necessary to inform children of the consequences of their actions to make them realize.

There were many instances which amazed both of us as adults. One minute he laying flat with high fever, so heartache and pitiful to see him that way, another minute he is behaving like nothing happens when the paracetamol starts to work. I realised that the old saying 'small kids don;t lie' phrase seems to be very true. However, my little boss do 'kelentong' me some times....
Once, he was asking us to bring him to Giant. When asked, what to buy at Giant, he told us that grandma needs to buy vegetables, buy rice etc. However, when we reaches Giant, first thing that came out from his mouth, "daddy, I want to buy toys...". When asked about what he mentioned earlier, you know what he said?? " mommy and grandma go and buy vegetables etc.. Me and daddy go buy toy....."

Heheheheeeee

Going to be late tonight. I guess by the time I am home, he will asleep. Hope his cold is getting better.

I miss playing with him already..

:D

[dtchieng]

ghostie,
u must b prepared for a string of cold and fever on ur child becoz now that he has started play-school, each kid there will bring their own pool of viruses to share-share with other kids. but no big harm coz this is the period of time that the kiddies immune system is being tested and being build up.

Gee, that's so cute of your son to do so. Yeah, I think ultimately, they wanna have fun. So, noble intentions can still be carried out, just that not at his expense.

Your boy sounds like real fun. Man, it'd be so nice when you have a boy who always provides you with many surprises.

[siewjang]

I've learned that 99% when something issn't working in your house, one of your kids did it.

[dtchieng]

hahaha... so very true.

oh forgot about taht. well, most of us come from the era where maid don't exist. So, most of the destruction in the house is caused by..... MY BROTHER!! hehehe

Lasr Nite, I was watching this Singapore Channel 5, Crime Show, Titled "Killed By Mother's Boyfriend"

It was a reenactment story of a boy, brutally abused, later killed by the b*st*rd. And so the story mentioned that all the while the mother was aware of the abuse.

It really make my heart ache, to imagine the pain, the torture the poor child had to go through. Half way through it, I just turn off the TV. Too much. I think death will be better for him, rather than going through the daily torture. Imagine, just a defendless kid against an adult. Just too sad, too sad. Later, as I went to my bed, seeing my little rascal sound asleep, I cried deep inside and telling myself, I am so fortunate to have this family of mine.

:D

Yes, I would say you are a very blessed man. And you've got a heart of gold too.

It's sad when you see children mistreated, through torture. They are missing out on their childhood, which they so need to have. Missing out on your chidlhood because of deprivation is definitely sad, and the consequence is a timid, inferior adult.

Raising children in love is always the way. God willing, children raised will become useful citizens.

Did you ever cane your child? I did once. That is the first time it left a cane mark on her leg. I do feel bad after that. But I do believe Spare the Rod Spoil the Child. That night I put oilment on it. Hubby was there and looking at me with a grin.

I look back at him and said, "My mom didn't even apply oilment for me after kena cane." Hehe... he just keep quiet.

Can't remember what did she did. That was like 2 years ago. I was just trying to scare her with the cane but she was jumping up and down hysterically. Just one whipped and it caught her on the back (yes I lied :o ). If she did not jump the whipped is actually very gentle wan. There is evil in the cane. :mad:

I did. But just like you, I really do feel bad about it. It aches me more, when was asked, why am I caning him, is it because I don;t love him any more? Then he would ask me to carry him and crying at my shoulder. What to do with him, he is even better in playing phycological games.... :rolleyes:

Children just have a way to reach your heart. Though they can be mischevious sometimes, but because they are your flesh and blood (referring to your kid), it always aches the heart to discipline them.

Take this scenario:

A little boy, probably aging about 1 1/2 or 2, just learning to walk, and daddy encouraging him. Daddy stands a distance, beckon the boy to come to him. The baby boy who takes his steps, wobbly, unstable, and falling now and then. Daddy's heart is aching to see the boy falling, but still stands a distance, with love, encouraging the son to come. The boy just continue to try, falling along the way, but in the end, reaches daddy. Daddy carries the boy and hugs him, telling him how proud he was of his little boy.

Sometimes, teaching in the hard way is painful, but it is good for them. Caning is necessary to discipline when he/she has done bad. And some of the disciplines could be when you think it's time for them to learn something. Spoiling them is not the way, but with much encouragement, they would surely become better people.

Very well said.

I had been very busy. Didn't have the chance to talk to my 'boss'. I left early again this morning while he is still ZZzzzzzzzz...

Well, will be having a long weekend. Hopes there will be no breakdown. Will probably go to a pool again.. let him enjoy his current favourite activity.

:D

Wah, happyghost, the whole thread u talk about how much u love your son, no need to say also I can feel the love there ar..

this thread must really save it for your son's knowledge next time.

But bear in mind, raising up kids is not an easy task. For now, they are still cute, and if you hold back the rod, when they grow up, they might break your heart. :)

Especially teenage years, boys and girls, are soo rebellious nowadays and soo disobedient...

Artemis,

Well, Imust admit that at the moment he is my dear little rascal. I do love him very much and would never do anything which might bring harm to him. In his later years as teenagers, whether he will break our heart, it is not of our concern at the moment. If he misbehave, definitely he will be punished. For the time being, let him enjoy his childhood. And it is my responsible to shower him with whatever love or care I can afford. My mom passed away when I was only 8 and my dad when I was 18. It was no fun without all the love and care from the parents. Life is so unpredictable. So at the moment nothing hold back for me to him. But of course, provided that he didn;t cross the line he shouldn't cross.

I think there many parents in this forum loves their kids as much as I did or perhaps even more. Share it. :D

[dtchieng]

the child will forever be a child in the eyes of the parents even when the child has children of his/her own...

i can understand how you sentiment of not having parents around... but remember, there are always people out there who loves you as much as you love them too... your son is very lucky to have all the love in the world, and to all parents out there, keep up the good work!

Yeah, happyghost is a great daddy. All the hugs and kisses on the forehead for his little boy goes to show that a daddy's love is so strong.

Happyghost, God bless you. Continue to inspire others.

[TingMS]

Well, whether I am a good daddy or not, it is still to early to tell. Just a constant reminder to myself that he is my son and I should shower him with all the care and love a daddy should give.

Actually, I am very angry with him just now and at the same felt bad also. He actually starts to beat his grandmother in the evening. When ask why he did that he just refused to answer. So decided he should be taught a lesson. After the first cane on his hand, he starts crying and throwing tantrum, and to the extend starts to slap me. It was not the physical pain I cannot stand but the emotionally pain. So I drag him into my room and start caning him. D*mn, did he cry, keeps saying sorry, he won't do it again. When asked does he know what was the mistake he made, this time, he admitted that he shouldn't beat his grandma and myself. I forced him to say sorry to his grand ma but he refused. After another cane, I drag him over to his grandma's room and he apologised to his grand ma. Still sobbing and crying, he keeps saying sorry to me too, promising he won't do it again. I asked him to go to his mother. Signaling to my home minister, she plays the angelic part... heheheheee.... Consoling him, comfort him....

When told that I am going out, he cries even louder, saying good bye to me, and continues to cry... at his mother's lap...

Now, as I am alone here, I began to ponder what went wrong, as many has mentioned, did I pampered him too much??? Yes, I did spare the rod but never my belt.... Is it due the moment of impulse that he slapped me or deliberately...

Hopefully, he learned his lesson tonight. It aches me to see his hand red swollen, painful, he told his mommy, not realising it was even more painful for me.

My dear son, what to do with you.....

[LiLiaN]

occasional punishment doesn't make you a bad parent... it shows that you care about him... he may or may not understand now, but i believe he will in time...

maybe when you have a moment, sit him down and explain to him why he was punished, and that you still love him... i am not a parent, but i believe sometimes simple explanation does go a long way in forging understanding... besides, kids are very smart and they can also be very forgiving... :)

[siewjang]

...I asked him to go to his mother. Signaling to my home minister, she plays the angelic part... heheheheee.... Consoling him, comfort him....

hmm... when daddy play the bad-man part and mummy start consoling, that is not a good idea. Both parents need to be stern at what is punishment. If one cane and another sayang, the child might take advantage again next time. I would let my child cry his heart out and when he stop crying, i'll walk over and talk to him as why daddy would cane him and his action is no good.

[Roland_Tang]

Hmm, pretty sound advise. Thanks, I'll take note of that.

ghost, it's true what Lilian said. It doesn't make you a bad daddy by punishing him. Disciplining him means you care and love him enough to make him a better person.

I know it hurts to hurt him, I saw a toddler once got canned because he was naughty, but nonetheless, sometimes it is necessary.

It's always hard to want to discipline, especially when they are your own.

[TingMS]

On 'school' wise, the little rascal is doing fine , I think. Already learned how to write the number '3'. Last night, he even read some chinese character in his chinese book to his mother. So funny seeing instead the mother doing the teaching, 'terbalik pulak' the little rascal is reading to the mother. :D

He was having high fever again yesterday. So had to bring him to see his favourite DR Alex. Still having phelgm and a bad throat. The bad throat probably caused the fever. So at the moment, just 'barli' water for him and no pepsi...

I beg to differ...the secret to being a good wife is to practise the vow you made before God on your wedding day all the time...the same applies to the guys.

And until you have shared your life with another's parents for at least 3 consecutive years in which your paths crossed often in daily activities (like caring for children, etc.), I would think it's far too early to state your opinion on the matter.:D

Don't like that laa... give them face abit laa... they love to sing, but no one to teach them maa... so, when I happen to teach them, they had sooo much fun..that's why. :D

Monday 31, 2004.

In a twink of an eye, already end of January. Today was the first time, my little rascal 'ponteng' school due to his non ending running nose and cough. Had decided to let him 'rest' at home instead of 'tiring' himself running here and there at the 'school'. Quite pitiful seeing him keep asking why he was not allowed to go to 'school'. Seems like his cough and running nose is taking a longer time to go away. Come this thursday, he will be on his way to 'nenek's house to start his CNY break. Hopefully, he will recover fast enough. It is quite taxing to travel even though it is still within peninsular Malaysia. Most likely have to bring him to see the Dr Alex another time before his holiday.
As for myself, I will be joining him a few days later. I guess I will had to spend as much time as I could afford with him this few days. If not, will 'rindu' him....
I know, I know, my home minister already starts nagging that nowadays, I 'rindu' the little rascal more than her....
heheheeee........

By the way, before I forgot, getting old liao, been called uncle, century old guy, heheheee... Happy Chinese New Year, Ladies and Gentlemen...
It has been a pleasure reading all the postings here....

[Roland_Tang]

Hello HappyGhost,
Sorry to hear about your boy's condition. I'm sure he'll be better for the CNY coming up.

Wow, long break! That's nice, a whole week off? I got mine too, the whole of next week off, hooray!

Well, about you missing the boy more than the home minister, I really don't know. There are just 2 different kinds of love you have for the family members. You'll love your wife in one way, and you'll love your children in another way. But I know the love means the same thing: that they are your own, and are willing to sacrifice yourself for them.

[siewjang]

Sent my home minister and the little rascal to the bus station 1/2 hour ago and they are now on their way back to the 'nenek's house in Sitiawan.

Funny feeling got into me. Suddenly the house seems to be toooo empty and silence can be deafening. Many times after a hard day's work, I wish I could be left alone. But you know, little rascal wouldn't care less. Would always stick to me like super glue. Now, it just seems too quiet even though I got all the time to myself. And guess what, I already start to miss my home minister and the little rascal.. :mad:

:D

This is what Father and Husband is all about.
Semakin Jauh di Mata... Semakin rindu di hati.

Betul, agree with Ausman.

Anyway, the people you love, naturally, you will miss them when they're not around.

May the loneliness make you feel that family is important, for all your life. I wish that for myself too.

....And guess what, I already start to miss my home minister and the little rascal...
Since this is CNY and celcom is giving out festive special price, call them whenever you miss them :D

Last day of the chinese new year...

Home minister busy doing market works..

Senior home minister busy too preparing for tonite's dinner..

And Of course the little rascal is busy too....
Busy lying on the sofa set drinking his milk... :D

Due to my tight schedule, didn;t manage to write much. Pretty much the same, some what like a normal routine, day in day out, for my little rascal too. And that is bad. Had to think something to make his childhood life more interesting. Open to suggestions.

Read his english book with him after dinner. Feel proud after hearing him reading A for Apple... B for Boy... and so on until U for Umbrellala.... :cool:
Maybe too much of baby talk with him in the past. HIs knowledge in chinese characters is better than mine.. Able to read all those characters without twinking his eyes.... My home minister was laughing. When ask, son, can you read with the book closed? He said no, the book must be opened, but again when he starts reading, he finished the whole book even though he still on page 2.. :D

Another significant event took place today, all the while my mother in law had to accompany him to school. After much persuasion, he agreed to go alone with me today. However, after sending him in, he did look back at me with a sad look. Hope he won't cry at school today. And I bet tonite he will starts bragging to me how great he is at the school today.

Will be going back early today. Will celebrate the last day of Chinese New Year. Fire crackers, i think so, even though, been warned of strict repercussions on the first page of Straits Times. Well, what is CNY without Fire crackers... this year, even my little rascal had graduated from 'pop-pop' to 'dinosaur egg'.

:D

My daughter's water tumbler leaked and one of the book cover was torn. Her teacher put sticky tape on it. But my daughter said, her teacher canned her 10 times on the palm and she didn't cry cos it's not painful. Do you think she is making up the story where the teacher canned her?

Hmm, I wonder whether it's the full-truth or otherwise. I actually don't know how children are nowadays. It's either I'm with toddlers or older kids, like teens or young adults.

Cute daughter you got there....Interesting story too.

[siewjang]

Story is true. Just not sure about the canning. You know, kids have very wild imagination sometimes.

Hey, a 3 year old kid of my close friend can actually tell you the day of the dates you prompted him randomly. I'm extremely amazed by his capability and I tested him personally. He answered it all correctly with me checking the day of the dates from my diary. The parents asked me to be his mentor because he likes me (according to them). I can't take up this responsibilities and asked them to enrol him to the MENSA Association of Malaysia. Sadly MENSA only take in member above 14 year old in Malaysia.

AMAZING!!!

There are about 30 kids in MENSA UK whom are aged below 5. I read it in the papers not too long ago. That's why I thought this kid of my pal can qualify. It all sounds too real to believe but this kid is really extraaordinary. He can finish reading a novel in a week. My goodness. It took me a decade to finish one.

It has been a long time since I last posted here in this thread. The little rascal is having his break now. However, every morning still asking ' today got school or not'.. :D

Maybe he is bored staying at home.

Well, two days ago, he 'naik pangkat' already, stops 'kacau-ing' me. Maybe with his new 'pangkat' he is more 'aksi' and start to stick to the home minister more .:D

Wonder tonight if he wants to sleep with me....
