vicksified

Dinara was up to something last night. she's been getting good at opening screwed caps on her own, and this was her recent victim.

i didn't realize what was going on at first. heck, it was 2am ok, orang nak tdo, dia pulak nak explore bilik sorang2, main princess figurines on her own. so ok la. skali Dayana woke up and groggily started pointing to the tv area, as if she was annoyed with something. the tv was on btw. ingatkan ape la yang dia nak pagi2 buta, tunjuk lego takmo, tunjuk buku takmo, tunjuk princess crown pun takmo. nak tukar channel ke?

until i saw it.

a piece of paper stuck onto the tv screen. which looked like box tape to me, at first glance.

upon closer inspection i saw that it was just ordinary notebook paper, and that the paper was held to the screen... by VICKS.

i turned to Dinara and literally caught her red-handed, with my newly bought Vicks tub. with her hair looking all greasy. and her hands and face covered with Vicks.

SCREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEECCCCCCCCCHHHHHHHH.

dulu Dayana painted my room with my compact powder, now Dinara wants to continue the legacy by painting the room with Vicks?? did she think it was hair gel????

(last weekend, she got hold of her powder puff and started dusting the whole room white - the bed, the floors, the iPad included @_@).

it didn't help that Dayana told me her princess figurines were all smeared with Vicks too. i guess that was what made that gigantic hole in my Vicks tub - the princess were being executed. mode of choice? death by Vicks T___T Ariel the Mermaid had it the worst. the legos were not spared too. i had a heck of a time trying to wipe the tv clean and degrease the toys in the wee hours of the morning *cry*.

didn't bother getting the grease out of her hair, i simply worked a comb through it, wiped the grease from her hands and face, and forced put her to bed. she didn't seem the least bit frazzled by all of it. chis. in fact, i don't think she understands that what she did was wrong @_@. this little one makin besar makin nakal, huwarggghhh tensi mak.

no photos because it was too dark to get any, and i didn't want them to lose their sleep momentum by turning on the lights.

*mau pull my hair out*

something to share

somebody decided to be cheeky and post this on FB.

out of the blue i bought a cheapskate upt test and had a go (i've never splurged on sticks before. if i bought clear blu, then i'd have to frame it). i took the test a few weeks back, it came back -ve. this time however, i got a different result.

Significant Other left his wallet when he left for Langkawi so i had to courier it to him. ok so this time i decided to be creative. i thought why not let him see for himself instead of me telling him? i don't really remember how i broke the news to him during my last two pregnancies, i only remember him diligently asking me 'dah P belum?'. real cocky of him, see.

when the parcel arrived the next day, he only commented on how he got his wallet and how prettily wrapped the box was (i recycled a gift box, complete with its original wrapping paper). told him to check the box again, there was something else in there. he almost threw away the whole box -___-

i should have remembered to mail the instruction leaflet with the test.

and so he asked, 'so what does this mean?'. i don't know whether he was feigning total blankness for the fun of it or that he really didn't know (forgot that only females know this test the best). his friends on FB had a field day.

no wonder my rumet messaged me out of the blue. cheh.

the best part was, he told me, 'do you know the worse thing? i actually touched it with my bare hands!!!'. oops. LOL.

i didn't think he'd post on FB so soon @_@. it's still too early, and you know how i feel about jinxes *touch wood*. i wonder if he's more excited than me.

the only symptom at the moment = metallic taste in mouth.

so here's looking forward to everything that comes with the word that starts with the letter 'P'.

p/s. some people can be so dense in their calculations, especially when they're inexperienced. i mean, how stupid can you be??

chalking it up

we recently bought an easel for Dinara's birthday (and Dayana pun seperti biasa, akan menumpang sekaki).

it's a double-faced easel with a chalkboard on one side, and a whiteboard on the other. i would've thought that when buying the easel all its neccessities would be included - apparently not. it only came with magnetic alpahets, a board eraser, paintbrushes and a cup holder. paper, chalk, whiteboard marker, sila beli sendiri ya.

the thing with kids these days is that they never seem to get that they have to put back the cap on the marker after use, else the ink will dry up. heck one marker has already passed away no thanks to the kids, batang hidung cap pun tak jumpe. sigh. baru je ingat nak beli those special markers from Crayola. i'm thinking 1000 times now, no point if the ink dries out simply because they keep forgetting to put back the cap? (i've confiscated all form of marker pens from them edi).

well anyway, i actually wanted to talk about the chalkboard. did you know new chalkboards need to be 'seasoned' before use? i never really bothered to know until i got this easel (it was written in the instructions lol). the reason why we do this is so that the very first drawing on the chalkboard wouldn't stay on the chalkboard forever and couldn't be erased.

chalkboards may seem smooth on the surface, but they are actually fairly rough and porous on a microscopic level. when we first draw on the chalkboard, we jam chalk into the little pores and clog them up with lots of chalk. then we erase the image and spread chalk dust into all of the surrounding pores, so you end up with a ghost image. ghosting is when you draw on a chalkboard and after it is erased – you still see the images, but in black.

to season a chalkboard, take a full piece of chalk and run it on its side over the entire surface of the chalkboard. make sure to rub it in well. once the board is covered with chalk, erase it. this will put an even layer of chalk in the pores all over the board. and so you won't have any problem erasing your drawing and leaving ghosts behind. lol.

the kids were delighted when i took out a piece of chalk (don't think they've ever seen chalk before) and rubbed it all over the board. they took delight in rubbing it off, and also to break my new chalk in half T_T while doodling all over the chalkboard. the bad side about chalk is that they accumulate alot of chalk dust. haih. nampaknye mommy kene vacuum more often than usual.

anyone know of any school teachers i can scalp chalk from? =P~~~ i only have white chalk though. where to find colored chalk ar?

regaining trust

1.Sort Out Your Feelings
2.Communicate, Listen and Apologize
3.Bring Life back to your Relationship
4.Be an Open Book
5.Be Respectful and Reliable

regaining trust in a relationship takes a lot of time and patience. but as long as you communicate with each other about your thoughts, your relationship would only grow stronger with time, and so would the trust in the relationship.

if you want to know how to build trust in a relationship, learn to be frank with your partner. Your partner is your lover, but they’re also supposed to be your best friend, a person who knows you and understands you better than anyone else in the whole world.

seeing the positive side of things doesn’t mean you’re ignoring what happened. instead, it’s a healthy way to work through the experience to allow room for positive growth and forgiveness. it takes a willingness to work on both yourself and the betrayer, but trust can be won back.

if you choose to wallow, you will stifle your ability to truly heal because you’ll end up angry and blaming the person for something you actually have more control over than you think.

but if you can find it in your heart to forgive, then you’ll be able to release anger and hurt... and when trust in a relationship is regained, it is truly healing.
