Week 87 (20 months...)!
We have completed 6 rounds of house-warming part-ty with the family and friends! (
... still have other friends group haven't send out invites yet, maybe take a rest and do it some other time!) Manage to clean up the entire place over the 2 weekends of hosting friends... Family members were to huge to host within the adobe so we had the buffet catering setup at the sky bridge #33. Food was good - will officially appoint Chilli Padi as our buffet caterer! HAHA We catered party sets and mini buffet for the rest of the friends' group which was not too bad - Select even provided utensils to scoop the food. Very thoughtful!
Some random rants; I really cannot tahan is self-feeding kids in the house (
especially at other people's house, common' spare some thoughts for the poor mothers who have to overhaul the whole house after a long day of hosting). Let me elaborate. I thought having kids over my place is OK, but it is not so OK. Especially during meal times when kids self-feed themselves. I will not let Nat self-feed at people's home, restaurant is OK la, different mah (
if you know what I mean...) - just imagine you have to clean up the mess, furniture and walls after their meals, adults feed directly into their mouth not the floor, you know... 1 is not enough, I have 3 of such cases. Faint die me. Imma so OCD, every drop of rice or food on the floor is too crazy for me to accept but this is house-warming party sure to have mess so I have to close my eyes and clean up after the party ends.
忍! I do have friend that are inconsiderate enough to have their baby's diaper changed without using a changing mat - literally on my carpet! Excuses me! Hygiene. Hygiene. #whylikethat
Having said that, I am not sure when I willing to start Nat to self-feed... because I am so afraid of the mess and clean-ups. Maybe I will start train him when he is outside restaurants, and I will spoon-feed him as long as I can within the house premises. Who cares if they say that my son cannot learn to eat by himself at his age... it's such a pleasure feeding a kid who is willing to be fed and eat happily for as long as I can!
Okays enough of my ranting...
