Welcome our new addition to the family - Part 1

First, they want to have a puppy, I said "no" coz puppy is not allowed as we stay in an aprtment

then, they want to keep fish.....hamster.....

then, Jo2 said he wants to have a rooster to wake him up in the morning...

out of all the "No...No...No"

they finally settled with a turtle.

left is T-Rex, Right is Daisy

as they promised to feed them, clean the tank and wash the turtle too!! And I thought it's a good sign that they wanted to take up responsibities.

We headed to CTY aquarium on Sunday (1/8/10) right after our lunch. Both of them were very happy to be there. We visited the pet shop b4 we went to pick our "pet". We told the staff there that we are looking for turtle, she lead us to the red-eared turtle tank, opened up the cover and she grabbed out 2 turtles. She told us these 2 turtles are good, 1 female and 1 male. The moment my kids saw the turtle, they said:"hey, turtle...I named you Daisy (pointing at the female turtle) and I named you T-Rex(pointing at the male turtle). I am your new owner now, and will bring you to your new home later."

We paid money and headed home. I m so glad to see their happy faces.

School registration for Jo2

On 15 July, Jo1 passed to me a paper which is the acceptance letter of Jo2's to primary school. I was waiting for this letter to arrive since the beginning of July, I expect them to send it to my mail box. Jo1 told me that her form teacher passed it to her, only I realized that once you have your #1 in that school, your #2 will automatically accepted in the same school (for convenient sake, I think)

In the mean while, Jo2 is preparing for his Kindergarten graduation concert now. He will be taking his graduation photos in September, and I need to get him a long pants, white shirt with collar, and a pair of sport shoes too. Looking forward for the day to come.

Jo1: Mommy, I want to participate in school sports day.

Me: ok-la........if teacher picks you. (My inner thought - aiyah....teacher is not going to pick u de, juz like mommy, she doesn't have sports gene. hehehe)

Me: what is that???

Small boy with big dreams

Jo2 told me that he wanted to buy a BIG blue car when he grown up. He said he wanted to bring mommy go kai-kai(outing), shopping, and also goto hospital to see doctor(remind me that I will be old and sick by that time). LOL

Next, he said he wanted to buy a BIG house so that he can stay with his best friends. My little boy been asking for a bigger house as we are now staying in a 1100 sq. ft apartment has not much space for him to run around. Sorry, boy....daddy & mommy has no intention to buy another house in Penang at this moment coz the price of landed property is hiking up + I don't have the energy and time to clean a bigger house .

Of course, he knew that to buy all these, he needs to earn lots of money. He said he wants to be like "Bob the builder", engineer like papa2jojo, pilot like uncle Ivan....blah blah blah....and this morning, he told me he wants to be a double decker bus driver. FAINT!!!
