Panda eyes.


The past few weeks has been very hectic for us. Dear has been really busy recently and I have to take on some of of his task. So I ended up in the car with the kids and that can be a major caused of stress, frustration. My motto is simple. Avoid peak hours. But sometimes its just not possible. No wonder I spotted some white hair and more wrinkles.
My mother in law was asking me to try on those eye bag treatment she saw on TV. Ha!! She said I should put on the boys too. Goodness.... then I realised that the boys had the Panda bear eyes too.

I definitely have doubts that it could un-Panda us.

Don't blink your eyes.








You can get a nice teeth like me if you use Kodomo Lion !!!









I took this photo right after he woke up. Look at him, he was soo thrilled being able to fit in Adam's old Pyjama. Hey... big boy oledi leh !!

Catch of the day !!


Adam took this as mommy was not brave enough to go near to take a nice shot. The photo may look like a little lizard in a basket. But believe me, its huge and scary.

It was actually caught by one of the neighbour. Big commotion, man !!! The whole "kampung' both young and old came out to see. Some was discussing what chinese herbal will go with it other was thinking whether the skin will make good wallet. Geee .... No way, that is going into my pot and will definitely not use it to 'wrapped' my money.

Half Fixed


Our modem was gone after a heavy rain with lightning and thunder last Friday. I came home wondering why the power were cut off and then can't get hook online. This round I refrain from fixing it. The last time I took out the connections and then it seems impossible to put those zillion of wire under the table back together right.

Dear came back and after a long time of trying and of course a long conversation with the Streamyx staff, he concluded that the modem is faulty. I thought fixing a new one would be as easy as connecting a few wire to the computer. Sadly is was not the case, the job require more than just connecting those wires ....

Dear ended up spending the whole afternoon in the room, talking to some people on phone trobleshooting. Not only that, I also heard him talking to himself many times.
Thank goodness that it is finally half fixed. At least the PC is working now. And looks like we need to find some cheap monitor to replace this current one that my brother bought for me 10 years + ago. The screen will turn all black and have to bang on it a bit to get the screen back. Its quite frustrating :(

What not fixed yet ??? The connection is only working for the PC and not dear's precious apple. Oopps .. What is the problem ?? No. 1 The router is spoiled too. No.2 THE APPLE ??. Arrrr !!!! Apple stuff is sooooo $$$$$$$ !!! I wonder whether dear start to regret. Now he has to wait till next month to get it fix.

adam is so happpy


Why is adam opening his mouth so big?

Answer -because he is very happy...

Play time


The boys are addicted with their bicycle session now. Always looking forward for evening time to ride their bicycle and play with the neighbour's children outside the house.

Adam always play with a boy but did not know his name. So... he always call him " Peng Yow" which means friend. Recently he told me that his name is "Chang Ying" which means fly. I am sure he heard him wrongly :)

Trip to Aquaria




The place wasn't really spectacular but its amazing to see some of the rare marine and creepy crawlies with our own eyes. If you were there, you may wonder why a big girl is hiding behind a excited boy busy searching the creepy crawlies. What to do, I never like them near or far.

I can ride a bicycle !!!


I think it was few weeks back that Adam told me to take away those extra supporting wheels on his 'bicycle'. (I thought this is a dad's job eh.. ) The only tools that we've got at home is a screw driver, hammer and a plyer. Hmm.... little Bob says its no good and cannot fix the job. We searched for spana in the cars and were dissappointed that one side was slightly bigger and just slightly smaller on the other side. WE CAN"T FIX IT !!!

Last week, after consulting my brother we found the solution. I told him that I needed size 13 spana as 12 and 14 can't do the job. Ha... he gave me a adjustable spana and now it surely fix in. Thanks bro !!

After this hurdle, what is next. Adam seems to think that I can transform to elastic girl to hold his bicycle while he ride on. "I am very scared to fall down" he said and in turn i gave him a long lecture on how people learn through falling down. I did not convince him though.... :)

We practiced for a few days and yesterday its a magical moment for him that he suddenly managed to balance himself on the two wheels. I can see that proud face and the joy in his eyes trying to show me again how he did it. Mom !!! I got it!! Mom Look at me !!! He yelled on top of his voice. Yes !! I am surely proud of you, my boy.

Eden : No, CHICKEN !!!
Mom: No... (before I could say another further)
Eden : Mommy don't know.
Mom : .............. (speechless )

Iwood

I saw dear staring intensely at this website
for a number of times the past few months. I think he must checking out whether there are surplus supply of the wood and price has dropped tremendously. The other possible reason is that he is trying to drop hint to me which i obviously have ignored him totally.

Maybe that is why he is so environmental friendly. Recyled papers ... so that they have more supply for iwood :)

imac... ipod ... idog.. iwood...iwhat next ???

Happy Father's day



Adam and I decided to reward daddy with his favourite cake this year. We talked and talked trying to decide which cake to buy from the brouchure. The problem is, daddy seems to like all of it. And finally Adam came out with this brilliant idea.

We had a simple celebration at home as the boys have not fully recovered. Seeing the cake Eden's started to sing Happy Birthday Song. And Adam then turn the song to "Happy Father's day to you" in Happy Bithday tune.

Look at that... daddy claim that he is more muscular since he started jogging in the morning. Boys .. do you think so ??

"We all love you dad .... "

Sunshine Again


The boys had a tough 3 weeks down with high persistent fever started with Eden. At first I thought its the teeth eruption but soon found out that most of the gum area was swollen with lots of white spot. The fever stays on even after finishing first dose of antibiotic and the dr. then presribed another dose. Even with that we did not see him any better. We then decided to send him to hospital the next day but strange enough when I checked his mouth the next morning most of the swell and spots were gone.

2 days later, Adam complained having sore throat and teething pain. My very first reaction was " Not swell and white spot pleaseeeee". Very soon, they invaded his mouth and he stopped schooling since last Wednesday. Like Eden he is also on 2nd dose and I hope he is well enough for school tomorrow.

They are much better now but I see them left with skinny skeleton. Godnees, they already don't have much fat, now they are at deficit.

Odd enough, I am even happy to see them quarelling and fighthing over toys again.

Collections





Apart from seeing food in my kitchen cabinet, you won't fail to see the collections of container that I have. Not quite sure weather this is a housewife's norms but i do see the same in my mom and mother-in-law's house.

Well, dear you will find that it comes handy one day. Just the size and shape that you needed :)

Gift


It must be the chinese blood in us that we don't take gift from other so well. We will try to make sure we 'repay' the gift in due time. I still remember that my parents actually record down the names and Ang Pau given in my brother's wedding. "Well, so that we won't give anything lesser when we are invited next round" my mom told me.

We have got some 'unique' gifts from our neighbours recently.

A young malay boy came to our gate one morning and said that his mom asked to deliver the bag of bananas (grown behind the houses). Errr..... we don't even know this family that lived a few doors from us. I actually went over to say thank you later but no ones answer the doors. The givers remains a secret till today. Actually we are not sure whether the bag of bananas was meant for us. Maybe the boy make a mistake :)

Our next door neighbour helps us to water my plant when we were away.

Just yesterday, the other next door neighbour gave us some of her home baked cake.

Should I bake cake also ??

New Pet


Adam has been reminding us that we have not gotten him any fish yet and it has been long since Ozen and Willy died ( both fighthing fish given by Uncle James for his 5th birthday) So we got him some guppy fish finally and again I had to do the 'maintenance' job. I was so thrilled to find one small fry just last few days. And I wondered where has it gone hiding the next day, as I can't seems to locate it in that tiny tank. I went online to check out more infor on these fishes.

Oh Nooooo......... I don't think I am able to see that fry again.

BEAUTY


3 weeks ago, I have decided to buy for myself this beutiful roses. They are such beauty to behold. Aiyah..... but the beauty only lasted a few days. I totally had no idea what happened to it. The flower turn upsidedown, leaves turn yellow and falls.

Looks like dear have more reasons not to buy me flowers.
