My first blog!!!! & my kid

Hmm, never thought I would be doing a blog. Always heard about it but never attempted to create or find out more about it. But I guess there is always a first time for everything especially now that I am in United States.


Have been here for over 5 months. Time really flies.


I could still remember the time when I got on the airplane with my girl, flying over 24 hours including stop over time just to reach here. Horrifying especially with so much luggage to carry, wonder how I pulled thru' then. Ha..


Being here in USA was a really different experience for me, never thought I would have the chance to enjoy "tai-tai" life style. Now I really depend on my hubby to pay for everything, feels a bit funny but I am enjoying it. Ha, when I am going back next year, I won't get this chance again unless my hubby and I hit it rich.. yeah.. haha, but even then, I will still work so as to occupy myself..


Not working makes my brain dull. It's really hard on parents now to teach kids. Where are all the kids who are cute and obedient??? My girl nearly drove me crazy when we just got here, I never knew taking care of a kid full time could be so hard. Perhaps I never put in enough time and care when my kid was growing. Now that she is 4 yrs going on 5 yrs, it's really hard for me to change the way she behave.

Wonder where she got the traits of nagging, not listening, not focusing and eating slowly from. Imagine a kid who keeps repeating like a broken record, drags her feet over things that you want her to do, eyes wandering all over the place when you talk to her, takes over an hour to finish one meal. Oh my gosh, what a nightmare. We tried all sorts of methods and ways to teach her but it is not working as well as we wanted to and it's driving us nuts. Therefore, I believe, a kid has to be taught from young, ie, when they are only 1 yr old. Ha, maybe I am less patient with her, therefore, I wished I am working than taking care of her.
