boon's log 1707.05: WFH
WFH - No, it is not an acronym for some foul string of words... It actually stands for Working From Home. Yup have been working from home most of this week due to our babysitter's need to be on leave. So, IL and I need to take turn to be on-leave to take care of Ab. Yeah, i have to take leave because someone else needs to take leave. Chain-reaction...
Anyway, here's a pic of how much fun the daddy-o and daughter are having during this valuable time... (So, Auntie Amy, here you go, another pic of Ab...)
Ab: Catching fish on the swing...
Have been making use of the time with Ab to instill some discipline in her. "WHAT?! Are you nuts?!" Ok ok... not really discipline discipline, per se. But more like not picking her up immediately when she cries (or yells). This has been a problem, especially with the grandparents (both sides) - immediately when she cries, they pick her up, which is not good... spoiling her at such an early age. You'd be surprise how early in their days that the know who they can bully and who the cannot.
A good example is the swing. When I am at home these few days with Ab, she will just sit in the swing until she falls asleep. But whenever she sees IL, she will start to cry (a.k.a. the fake cry for help). It is interesting and cute at the same time. Doing these sort of experiments does makes it all worthwhile and satisfying, at the end of the day.
So, what we can learn from this is that kids nowadays learn at a faster rate and at a much earlier age (than what we used to before). Some blame it on the type of milk that we are feeding them; while some blame it Mozart... ;) either way, to me, let kids be kids. Don't rush or pressure them in the race for intelligence supremacy... let them live a little (a long time friend which I have not seen for 13 years reminded me about this phrase not too long ago...) but do include discipline as part of the agenda...
boon out...

So who's this friend which u haven't met for 13yrs? :)
For a small fee, I'll send u some photos :)
WH: the friend? That one la... come back to Malaysia only ONCE in thirteen blasted years... ;) Anyways, it was great catching up... Enjoyed the Moet.
Small fee, eh? Sure thing, Bobo! How much (or many)? One banana, two banana? ;)
Are you saying if I won't be welcome if I come back more often?! No worries, I'll be Bella's newest best friend and crash at her place ;-)
And Bobo's 'raised' on champagne, mere bananas absolutely does nothing. Come on B, where's the love?
Bobo? Who's this bobo? And who's Bella? Bananas? Who's playing with bananas?
Anonymous / Lily: Where's the Love? It's deep in the jungle where Simba and Nala lives and Elton John singing "Can you feel the love tonight?"
WH: It's okay. Most Bobos do not know that they are called Bobo either... I do not blame you. And yeah - who's Bella?
And Anonymous: the key word is IF you come back more often. ;) Okay then, we'll give Bobo banana-flavoured champange, okay?
