Jo1 first masterpiece

Jo1 started her drawing class recently. She has been asking me to send her to drawing class since last year but I never take it seriously and I don't want her to be over scheduled. I let her started her drawing class this month b'coz her mental arithmetic teacher has to stop all the classes due to health problem which she needs to go back to her hometown to get treatment and rest for a long time.

So far, she has attended the class for 3 times, and the teacher commented that she needs more "patience" but I am satisfied with her first masterpiece. I mean she is still a beginner, patience is not something that can be change in overnight. I send her to you juz b'coz she likes to draw.

Even when she was admitted to hospital recently, she spent her free time drawing, and put up on the room's door. She did a few nice drawings, even Dr. Sim teased whether those drawings are up for auction. I noticed that all the doc, nurses, cleaner, and some visitors actually stopped to look at it when they passed by.

Hospitalised

Note: see how my cheeky son pose...

The school term holiday is going to end soon. Others have 1 week of holiday while my kids have 2 weeks of holiday. Both of them were sick and hospitalised; Jo1 had viral fever and Jo2 had acute bronchitis. Both of them were recovered and discharged after staying at hospital for 5 days with 1 lodger(me) taking care of them at night time, that's how my kids and I spent our 2008 first term school's holiday.

Normally, I can handle whenever my kids are sick but this round is different. Jo1 was down with high fever on Sunday, she slept through for hours and still very tired. I fed her with PCM every 4 hourly, and she scared me when I tried to wake her up for medicine and she was unconscious no matter how. I kept calling her name, shake her body and I was panic don't know what to do except tears dropped from my eyes. All the while, I thought I was brave and tough, I can handle everything even when papa2jojo is not around. Since papa2jojo is at work, I called to inform him and my mother to ask for help. At the end, I rushed them to Dr.Sim's new clinic @Srigim Medical Centre. I felt so relieved when my mother went to hospital to take care of Jo2 and papa2jojo also came later.

My mother helped me to take care of Jo2 for a night, and she called me the next day that Jo2 got cough and can't sleep for the whole night. So, I got no choice but asked her to bring Jo2 to the clinic for treatment also. That's how I ended up having 2 kids in the same hospital.

When Jo1 is no around

This happened on a beautiful Sunday morning 2 weeks ago where Jo1 needs to go for extra tuition lesson since she will be sitting for her 1st school's term exam soon.

While having fun playing outside, Jo2 said: "mommy, take photo-la." So, I ended up snap snap snap a few of them. I think the kids also noticed that mommy is "a bit lazy" to take their photos recently.
