Sweetness come after Misery

My dear Brandon went haywired again tonight! Remembered the schedules that I set for him, he totally forgotten about it when I'm not around for one day. After my dinner at mum's place, she showed me his untidy writings on his Chinese worksheet. He leave a few qns blank and he anyhow strike off the wrong answers and wrote above it. It was so messy and he got the cheek to push the blame to my mum for not putting inside his school bag this afternoon when he goes to school. I cannot stand the way his attitude towards to mum, Sri and anyone who talks to him. Sometimes, including me, he will always have excuses to cover his mistakes. After my countless warnings, he never heed so he gets a beating from me. I erased the whole worksheet and asked him re-do. After a tiring day at work, I only wish for a peaceful night to rest and sleep early. But, his behaviour and attitude towards his school work badly disturbed me. I am really concerned and I do not wish he turn worse. I went thru the whole worksheet and got an exercise book for him to practise his Chinese writing. I know I shouldn't but I threatened him that if he continue with such behaviour, I will send him to Clementi and stay with his Nai-Nai. Since he take my mum for granted and always bully Angel, I need to show him that I am absolutely serious about this matter and I want him to learn his mistakes. Although he is naughty and stubborn, but he is not exactly a bad boy overall. He was very sweet cos I saw his effort for giving me a birthday surprise! He cut the colored papers and wrote 'Happy Birthday' and stick them all over the walls of kitchen. It was lovely and I am very touched by his act. espcially when he sand the birthday song to me by himself... he asked his Daddy to order a chocolate cake from awfully chocolate... Although it's not my favourite but I sincerely appreciate all that he has done for me. Brandon means alot to me! I am so happy and feel a lill guilty after the beating. *sigh* I wish he will understand the meaning of his punishment and put in the same effort to his schoolwork too! Arghhh... kids are a hell of monsters... OMG

Thumbs up! My Baby Shown Improvement...

Well done! After I seek some advice from Vanes, she taught me to draft a schedule for Brandon.. so that he will learn to re-organise himself in his studies and lifestyle... it takes alot of time and patience... although he will still bargain with me for longer TV time or Arts & Crafts time.. I will not give in him each time he request but at times when he really behaves himself.. more like a reward to him for doing a great job! i must learn to bring myself down to his level in order to understand how he feels.. sometimes, its easy to say than to be done.. I simply cannot control my temper when he test my patience a few time in a row for 2 hrs... I will get frustrated and shouted at him for not understanding.. I'm happy today the 1st Mon of the timetable I gave him last night, he did his best to follow accordingly... I'm really glad at least now, he will look at the clock and manage his time nicely for each activity that I have planned for him... I'm trying my best to go through his schoolwork as much as possible.. I lubb u Baby... let's learn together and work hard together k?!

Baby slack too much

Nowadays Brandon slack more and more each day. I behave exactly like those kiasu parents who keep nagging and reminding him to revise his schoolwork... do more assessments... and to pay more attention in class. *sigh... i do not know what has happened to him but his performance has turn from bad to worse. He is expertise in his arts and crafts but this is not the moment for him to relax... cutting papers and doing those lill things that he learned from the library books. In fact, I hate to scold him and punish him so often. Conclusion- no matter how much he learned from his childcare... all will be forgotten when he starts primary school!

Slack + Lazy + Rude + Lame

Brandon is totally out of control! I have warned him since last week about his behaviour, his attitude, his forgetfulness and his rudeness. He seem to turn me a deaf ear and never heed my countless warnings. I caned him earlier for more than 3 times. I checked his homework, his handwriting was so untidy and all the answers that he written were mostly WRONG! He didn't bother to double-check and not only that, tomorrow he's having his CH and EN spellings and he has not learn any of them! Arghh!!! I told him I will check on him every day and he better ensure his school bag is neatly packed. I do not wish to see any rubbish or more than 3 storybooks inside cos it's too heavy for him to carry to school. His final year exams is just round the corner and his form teacher already gave him the exact details what he will be tested on. Yet he dun seem to bother... I been seeing him watching his cartoons series and movies every night... lying on the sofa... reading his comics or storybooks/magazines... playing with his toys... I reminded him again and again to do more assessment and revise his past worksheets/textbooks... I'm just talking to the walls cos he show no reaction! That really gets on my nerves tonight!!! If possible, I try my best not to use cane on him cos I don't like to punish him in this manner and I think he's old enough to know what he suppose to do. I gave him my reason why I allowed him to study at his own pace so that he don't feel restricted and I trust him to behave himself. Again, he has proven me wrong! He screamed at my mum again for not able to find his spelling list where that piece of paper was inside his school bag! I don't wish to see my mum get more stress over his matter. I have to teach him a lesson to be more mindful with language and speak to everyone politely. His temper is getting worse and if I don't keep him under control now, he will definitely get more aggressive with those that he can bully! Lately, he also been taking my mum for granted. *sigh... so, if I don't him how serious I am right now, he will get worse each day! Teaching a kid to be obedient.. to be good takes lot Patience... it's not easy task especially when they learn more things, they will argue back with you all kinds of reasons! Finally I'm done with his spellings and school work... I'm so shag and tired.....

a lazy weekend....

Yesterday is Hari Raya Pusa... it's Sri's holiday.... we gave her an ang-pow for this happy occasion! We went back on Saturday morning to pray to my FIL, and have a good lunch together. At night, while his Daddy was out with his frens, we ordered Pizza Hut.. Yummy! It's been so long since I had pizza.. and my favourite spicy drumlets.. miss the food again! ^o^ We brought MIL and Sri to the West Coast Mall - Sushi Tei for a wonderful lunch... these were the food that I ordered for them... both enjoyed the food so much and look so happy.. thereafter, we went shopping for while then back home.

Baby's temper getting worse and worse lately. He easily get frustrated and agitated whenever things doesn't go the way that he wants it to be. I also find him with this bad habit of pushing the blame to my mum whenever he forgets his stuffs! hmm! I warned that if i found out that he is rude and command my mum to do anything for him again, I shall confiscate all his fav toys and no more pressie for him even if he did well for his exams. One thing, I must emphasis to him is he's very fortunate that he has so many things which many kids out there do not owe them. We encourage him by rewarding those gadgets that he wish for when he did well for his studies... but, if I find him badly misbehave,. I will not allow such gifts to be given to him anymore!

Hopefully, he will learn his lessons and buck up his school work as I find him getting more and more slack this month... final year exam is approaching... yet I c him relax @ home.. watching TV... reading his comics... playing his Penguin games... or log into his Facebook... OMG! He's only 8yrs old.. Primary 2.. but I have to worry about his future like he is in secondary school... *sigh...
