25 Things About..Samseng Kia

Now here's some juicy stories abt my samseng boys...all 25 things:-

1. They love pork, but 'siew yuk' better than 'char siew'.
2. They also love McD.
3. Kor-kor (big bro) used to be a cry baby, thank god he outgrew it.
4. Di-Di (small bro) came out an angel, a survival instinct (our theory) that he knew he would have to compete with his big bro whom mommy was giving 130%!
5. Both of them like to run barefoot around the neighbourhood playground. They have checked with their feet, so no, there's no sharps objects there...
6. Kor-Kor's current ambition is to be a policeman, mommy says 'no way' (cringe)!
7. Di-Di is currently going on & on.. & on.. & on.. with 'Hey Diddle Diddle' & 'Simple Simon'...Irritatingly cute!
8. Their current craze is Ben 10 (which boy age 3 to 10 is not!), so mommy gotta know all Aliens' name also....a pre-requisite..
9. They are best of pals now, mommy pray very hard they stay that way.
10. Kor-Kor drinks water from his milk bottle upto close to 6 yrs old (we called it his shame-shame bottle). Then mommy went for a holiday with galpals, and daddy CUT IT AWAY.
11. Di Di self taught himself to drink from cup since 1+. Also, self taught, take off clothes, wear clothes, wear socks....(c told ya, he's an angel, fr this aspect)
12. They think having a flying vacation (that involve aeroplane) every year is 'yin tak' ie their entitlement. Boy!
13. Kor-kor walks like his grand-daddy...a distinct shuffle...
14. Di-Di is choosy of what he wears since 3. He's very 'Ai sui'!
15. He's also a picky eater. He has fetish for 'fei yuk' (the fats in meat), fish & chicken skin...calls it gummy-gummy!
16. Kor-Kor eats more like a Penangite...loves char koay teow, penang rojak (buah) & laksa.
17. Daddy bribed Kor-Kor a PS2 to sleep by himself in his own room when he was 6. It worked for Kor-Kor but no chance against Di-Di, thus Di-Di still sleeps with Mommy & still kicks Daddy off the bed!
18. Both of them can climb almost anything...like the top of slides, etc...genes fr mommy side of family.
19. Both of them are bananas...ie yellow skin, but don't speak any Chinese dialects!
20. Kor-Kor is anti-social, Di-di is very sociable...he would kiss practically anyone.
21. Kor-Kor was placed with a babysitter who also nanny a few others till he was 4, thus he can give & take gracefully most times. Di-Di needs more training in that area.
22. Both of them have more toys than they need.
23. Both of them have more DVDs than they should.
24. Sometimes at nite, we pillow-fight & they'll be so out-of-breath that they vomit! (Daddy dunno..sshhh!)
25. They still think their mommy is d coolest...(wander how long would that last) !
    

(At the time of press...Kor-Kor is ~6.5, Di-Di is ~3.4 yrs old. They probably beat me up when they older, but hey, how else can i remember...)

25 Things About Me

I first saw 25 Things in FB. Thot it will be a fun debut blog. Here's my stab at it (more difficult that i realised):-

1. I can't parallel park...unless the 2 other spaces at the sides are empty!
2. I'm tone-deaf, can't sing to save my life...
3. I also have 2 left feet. Would love to get that corrected, if surgically possible.
4. My only talent is I can tell....whether the pregnancy is a boy or girl. Most of the time...
5. I am most fidgety when...i have to stand in line. I normally feel like yelling at the serving party if i have to wait for more than 10 minutes!
6. I have excellent memory (my friends call it elephant memory, god knows why!)....unfortunately about silly, trivial matters....like what my significant half promised me a decade ago, er, no wait, that's IMPORTANT stuff!!!!!
7. I don't eat goat, cow & lamb meat. And for the last time....it's NOT a religious thing. Don't like it, that's all.
8. I don't have a good taste bug. Once was tucking in heartily at a tibetan mo-mo (steamboat) until friends voiced out that it smelt like pee!
9. Nothing attracts me more faster than a 'SALE' sign!
10. Am not a social butterfly. Won't approach a person to break the ice...unless i know the person is from Penang &/or speaks Hokkien!
11. I'm not a morning person. Try not to talk to me before 10.
12. I'm a coffee-holic. I would be yawning, agitated bitch addict if i dun have at least a strong cup a day.
13. Have forgotten to zip up my pants a few times & didn't realise till i reached work! FYI, I used to take public transport!
14. Was molested twice in public transport & once in cinema. Was so engrossed with movie that didn't realise the uncle's hand was on my lap. Ew!
15. Thinks that having four kids would be ideal. Come to think of it, i recently look at pregnant ladies with ENVY again!!! (my hubby would freak out if he knows!)
16. Loves adventure holidays & was once inspired to climb Everest Base Camp (only kaki bukit, not the entire mountain, I'm definitely not that ambitious, he, he) Still dreaming...
17. During my late teens, didn't know i was on a group date till the boy called to tell me he missed me! That's me, Blur-blur!
18. Is guilty of taking a yearly holiday (or two) with gal pals & fib to sons that trip(s) are for work!
19. Have taken up reading a few books at same time. Cannot parallel park but at least, can parallel read!
20. Kinda thinks the fish monger near my place looks kinda cute!!!
21. Like to steal her sons Yakult to drink late at nite. And chocolate. Ice cream sometimes...
22. Is pretty bad at spring cleaning...thus, my closet looks like the bottom of the Bermuda Triangle.
23. Is not a touche feelly person, very, very awkward in doing hug hug kiss kiss!!
24. Is blessed to have BFFs whom I've known since 11.
25. Last but not least, I'm terrified most of... losing my lil' monsters! Not just literally, also to puberty as they'll probably think it's not cool to hang out with mommy anymore, sob, sob!
