The Love of My Life...

Carpe Diem - easier said than done for a self-professed procrastinator. But for the love of my life, I finally keyed my first sentence, then the second, and the third... as a recording of memories I'd want to remember, good or bad, a gift from Mommy to U - Dear Baby En

"From Baby En to Baby Kang, both my darlings, equally precious. May this journal keep u company, when Mummy can no longer be there......"

The Art of Negotiation

The Art of Negotiation - some may say it only applies to the business world, where big shots flexed their brain muscles at negotiation tables, trying to get the better of each other.

Mommies will tell you, "TRASH THAT IDEA IN THE RUBBISH BIN!" For at some point, we all have to deal with the nastiest of them all, the Master of all Negotiators - the Toddlers.

Don't believe? Here are a few examples......

Example 1

Mummy: Do you want Mummy to bath you now or Daddy to bath you 5 min later?

En: I don't want to bath.

Example 2

Daddy: You can either choose to have Daddy brush your teeth or Mummy.

En: Elmo brush.

Example 3

Mummy: Shall we wear this (dress) or this (Holds up 2 pieces for her to choose)?

En: No (goes around "disqualifying" the other clothing).

Get what I mean? No room for negotiation. Case closed. Period.

Sigh. Guess I'll have to take up an Advanced Course in Negotiation......
