Merdeka Day



Mid-Autumn & Hari Raya

Merry Christmas

Easter & 清明节

Teacher commented that her progress a bit slow coz she is the humble type of ppl. Each piece of drawing shouldn't take more than 4 hours (2 lessons), and she is not ready for water color yet. Still need more practice on crayon for the next few months.
Guess what, someone has started his drawing in this month too.... ... it's my "cheeky boy" aka Jo2.

Bento tools giveaway

I packed lunch box for my children to school everyday so that they can eat it during tea break. I was out of idea of what to pack until I came across Maisie Eats Bento that gave me great ideas on what food to pack.


Until now, I still don't have any tools to start bento-ing. Will start my bento when I got the tools so that I can make the food more interesting, and hopefully my son will eat more food I prepared.


Tools above look interesting, right?
Guess what??
To celebrate the 100th Bento of that blog, there will be a random prize drawing on the run until Apr 5 2009 at midnight EST.
So, why Wait? Check out the site now.

here's the story...


In the afternoon, I picked Jo2 from his school to see PD b'coz he had rashes (due to allergy)on his face. I applied elomet cream and gave him piriton and is still not working. His PD's moved to a new clinic, and it's juz a few blocks from his school. My appointment was 12:30pm, and I reached there earlier. So, the nurse told me that I can bring Jo2 upstairs to play at the playroom while waiting.


I was in the toilet when Dr.Sim called up his name. He walked into the consultation room by himself. I came out from the toilet, nurse told me that my son is in Dr.Sim's clinic. I opened the door and my boy was chit chatting with the doc. I missed what conversation they had, but Dr.Sim only commented that I am lucky to have 2 HAPPY kids. He asked about Jo1 even though she wasn't there while doc make his checking on Jo2's face & body. Suddenly, Jo2 pointed at the monitor, and he recognised that that was the playroom where he was juz now.



Jo2's All time favourite dino t-shirt and "soi-soi" (innocent) look


I feed him medicine at the clinic b4 I sent him back to school for his afternoon Chinese class. I didn't mentioned anything about the CCTV.

Back to school about 1 pm, he had his milk and nap. Teacher Sara told me that my boy very TALKATIVE in class. Unlike Jo1, very quiet and obedient. But, she assured me that Jo2's

behavior will change as they grow, after all he is a BOY!

On the way home after dinner, I asked Jo2 why he talked to his friends in the classroom, within second he replied me that he actually doing his HOMEWORK as he finished his SCHOOLWORK already. (yes, he is a pro in giving good excuses). I lied to him that I saw it thru the CCTV, and he believed me as the school is equipped with CCTV too.

At home, while I was taking my bath, he came to knock on my door and he said:"M-O-M-M-Y, WE NEED CCTV AT HOME." Why-le? So that Papa2jojo can see it from office whenever jiejie scold me. LoL...

In fact, he started the "WAR" most of the time-lo.


Hair cut


My BIG girl cried at the hair salon, other hair dresser also walked to me and told me that my girl cried-liao......b'coz bad mommy insisted to cut her hair due to the HOT weather. Normally, only go to salon to trim but not really cut. I let her keep her hair long b'coz I like girls with long hair, and is a must during Ballet exam. I promised that only cut for 1 time, and will let it grow later.
I think this hair style make her more "student" look, neat and easier for me to wash. And I am satisfy with it.
