Mum & Kids In Wonderland

The kids received a surprise from their papa. Today, they are the happiest kids in the world.

Tateng!! ……..

2 sets of Ben 10 collections!! Mask and watches. Fair enough, each takes a set. No fighting ya…

But, as for these cards, they have to share. Play together lor….

Do they look cool somehow?

These kids always hope that they would be the superhero one day. My girl makes a wish that there would be a real Ben10 in this world. My boy like the cartoon, because his sister likes it. Haha…copy cat!

When I look back at my wedding video, it is quite amusing to see the conservative hairstyle and gowns of mine. The technology from six years back compares with today’s, it is a lot of difference. The videos taken nowadays are more colourful, sharp and aimed corners, and the most outstanding poses in it. Some wedding couples even implant closed captioning in the video. It is quite interesting too to put captioning based on those spoken out from the ‘actors’ and ‘actresses’. :p

One of my daily responsibility is to make sure the nails of my kids are always short. Yes, everyday, especially of my boy’s nails. They grow very fast. He is not allowed to have not even a bit of sharp nails as he may hurt his skin by scratching. His ezcema is still uncontrollable.

Rubis baby safety scissors is my necessary tool to trim his tiny nails, besides a baby nail clipper. My skill is brushed up each day, and mummy can really qualify myself in nails beauty job. LOL

My dad would like to buy a new car soon. I actually do not agree with his decision as he is over his retiring age now. He is very confident that he manages to cope with the loan since he is accepted by his company to continue his working contract with them.

He may need to purchase a car insurance for his new car. He requests me to compare auto insurance quotes in the internet. I agree to help and I will surely recommend daddy an insurance with the lowest rates but best return.

Zi Wei has slimmed down a lot recently. Mummy has changed her eating habit recently. No more eating in front of television! She doesn’t have a bulgy tummy any more. Frankly speaking, that big stomach has burdened her a lot when learning ballet. The instructor used to remind Zi Wei to tuck in her tummy before dancing.

There is one more month to go from today before she reaches exactly 6! Mummy admits that she does improve a lot in ballet nowadays. Her attitute of laziness has reduced a lot. She is paying more attention in class, and she follows the instructor’s guidance. Mummy received complaints from the ballet instructor long time ago that Zi Wei didn’t follow her steps properly, and just simply did the practice.

Short clip during her lesson.

Well, for sure mummy has done something behind this. Mummy encourages her with food (buns) after each lesson, provided she does well in class. Hehe…..If you have watched ‘Kungfu Panda’, then you may understand what method I’m using here.

Finally, mummy received a letter about Zi Wei’s acceptance to SJK (c) Yuk Choy. Mummy is quite certained that my girl would get a place there with the help of the previous headmaster. Anyway, my dad is not so happy about my decision. He wonders why mummy doesn’t choose the 5 stars school, instead of this 3, 4 stars. Its secondary has been rumoured to be bad in teachers’ quality and poor academic results.

Yes, sometimes I do feel confused whether my choice is right. I chose Yuk Choy because it emphasises more on curriculum than academic. Well, it is a famous school too, just for the primary. Mummy doesn’t wish to see my girl to study under stress, without enjoying her childhood life. Mummy has gone through that dull life in the 5 stars school when young. I was just good in study and nothing else. My view was just on the books, and my goal was only to achieve good results in exam. Mummy really doesn’t hope to see my kids following my footsteps. Who knows! The system may change in the secondary school in future. By the time Zi Wei reaches Form 1, Yuk Choy Secondary School may have been upgraded into a quality school.

Mummy hasn’t tried on horse riding fun before. How would it feel to sit on the back of the horse while it is galloping in the field? I really hope that there will be some local riding camp where my kids and I can participate in the fun. We can then put on our smartest equestrian clothing like a professional rider. :p It is indeed a wonderful and physically healthy activity for children in the holidays. Why don’t we have here? Or, maybe there is, mummy does not realise instead. Do inform me, if anyone of you knows ya.

Mummy feels a bit bored in the morning after the kids are off to school. I should use the word, “aimless” in life without the ability to earn. Mummy has thought of getting a part-time job. I don’t know what kind of job can I find, except giving tuition which can be done at my flexi hours. Definitely will never be IT jobs for me! Mummy is a total idiot in that field. Hubby always hints that I am too free at home. He may wish that I work as well, to reduce his burden, maybe.

Lovelymummy and I met up with our good friend, Shoppingmum in Starbuck yesterday. It was somehow a family friends gathering. We have not hung out like this ever since our friend here moved to Bangkok. We took this opportunity to discuss about our coming Bangkok trip in September. We can save a lot as we can stay in Shoppingmum’s house, and go outing in her new Avansa. Hopefully her hubby can join us as it will be more fun. That is the purpose we visit our dear friend there.

Besides, the kids can mingle around very closely, except Marcus boy who still need time to warm up. Just look at my photo above. From the ‘power ranger’ pose of my boy, you can imagine how active he is. Starbuck was like a market when we were around. The kids screamed, played, and even fought together. If I stay with these kids every day, I guess mummy will be in need of a blood pressure monitor at home! It can be fainting! phew!!

The kids could even turn Starbuck upside down. The kids messed up the cafe with their stickers. It was my girl’s idea then. It was not that right too. She led the small kids in sticking those stickers every where on the chair and table.  Starbuck assets have been decorated with Pooh Bear pictures! LOL I should have stopped her if I saw that. I was busy chit-chatting with the mummies instead.

Whenever people see me, they will comment that I am slim. When they know that I am a mummy of two, their face will look shocked. They will then keep on asking me about my way of gaining weight loss after delivery. I can only tell them that it was due to my health problem. I always get sick ever since my first delivery. I rather hope to be strong like before marriage. What is the use of good body shape but without health?
