The 2 insects...

As my son has to finish up his homework, I have to keep this little “Mei-Mei” (sister) occupied, so that she doesn’t “kacau” the “Ko-Ko” stationeries.

My hubby bought her a Disney Princess Magazine... As she was flipping through it, she suddenly found a butterfly mask on a girl’s face.

“Mommy, I want this! I want this!” ...

Gosh!!! What to do… All I have now is a box of crayons and some recycle papers. To keep her happy, I started to draw a butterfly on the recycle paper (took my son’s rough paper for his mathematic exercises! :P) and stuffed it with lots & lots of colours after cut out. She went, “yeah!” here, “yeah!” there, end up my son came out and starts negotiating for a Spiderman mask pula! Sigh! Again, what to do… have to do lo…!

I actually felt bad that I got to use all the cheap cheap materials for them, i.e. recycle papers, scotch-tape and 2 rubber bands to hook on their ears, hahaha! My God! But, but, but, they make me felt proud as they like it so much until they put beside their pillow when they slept that night! *wink*

He Made It !

The 2nd Sunday of September 2007, I woke him up at 6.30am. After wash-up, he put on his “Gi” (Karate Suit)himself, I tied on his green belt for him… That’s the day, my son went for his Karate grading from “Green” belt to “Blue”… He looked so smart!

He has just gotten his Green sometime the 1st quarter of this year… and he is going for Blue this time...

He told me, ”Mom, don’t worry! I can do it!”

Both of us reach the Grading Scene at approximately 7.30am, he reported himself to the Sensei-in-charge, lined up with full discipline and waiting for the Sensei to arrange all other batches.

The moment my dad arrived, my son were so happy, jumping up and down (suddenly forgotten the Sensei actually was looking at him), telling all his friends that his “Ah Kong” (Grandpa) came to support him. *Thank you, Papa!*

The grading sessions finally ended … and Yes! He made it! Yeah!

Fun Time

He swam for 3 consecutive evenings… Over the Hari Raya long weekend, my son really enjoyed his evenings at the pool coz he doesn’t have his karate lessons due to the Public Holidays… See how “noti” they were … *wink*

Butterflies....My Love

On the 13th of October 2007, 1st day of Hari Raya Holiday, my son suggested to go for an excursion to “See Snake”… Mana tau, when we reached the Reptiles Park at Bukit Jambul, it was closed down with the sign said “Moved to Forest Museum”. Not to disappoint my family, we drove all the way to Forest Museum which is located at the Teluk Bahang. ALAMAK! ...AGAIN! It was closed with a sign said “Selamat Hari Raya Aidilfitri”.

Before my son’s tears rolls out from his eyes, I quickly suggested, “Let’s go to mommy’s favourite place… The Butterfly Farm!” Phew! At least, I heard them said, “Yippeeee!!!”

We enjoyed so much there, having to feel and catch the butterflies ;P . It was a good educational trip to my boy as he actually gets to know different type of insects and how butterfly actually transformed. My lil girl was kind of scared when the butterflies came near her, she loves them but dare not touch them. As for me, a good catch up with them. Butterflies, my favourite insects…

2007 Birthdays...Episode 2

For Mum…
Mum's birthday was on August and I invited my family over to my house to celebrate for her. So glad that my brother (He’s always busy…) was able to make it this time as this is the 1st time he ever been to my house after I moved in for 1 year+. We had steamboat dinner that night and everyone enjoyed so much that we planned to have my Dad's birthday party again for the following month before everyone goes home.

For Dad in-law…
All of us went for the Buffet Dinner at Evergreen Laurel on that Saturday. My nieces and nephews looked forward so much to have the Japanese Buffet there. The taste and varieties were really satisfying! One thing I have to confess… all of us totally forgot about the birthday cake! Thank goodness that I managed to get my friend Phoebe (who works there) to have it arranged, phew!

For Dad…
As planned, we have it at my house again (though we shifted the date to a week earlier…), everyone came by and this time my nieces and nephew brought along their swim-gear. They went to the pool to have some fun before the party starts… We had great fun!

For My Eldest Sister in KL…
Felt sorry for you and your hubby not able to join the fun… We shall arrange something when both of you are back in Penang! Cheers!

*** For Everyone…***
Sorry for my “Pun-Tua-Ness”(laziness) to have this 3 in 1 blog… Hehehehe!
I busy ma!!! :P

Happy Mooncake Festival!!!

Happy Mooncake Festival to all... to my 2 children, it was really a Happy Tang Lung Day!

Last nite, the actual night of the festival, my hubby & I decided to take them to our poolside... to carry Tang Lung, at the same time, hubby did his exercise, jogging and sit-ups, etc etc...

I've got my children some traditional lantern, as my hubby & I got so irritated with the battery operated ones they used to have. My son had his dragon (the head can move one... so cute!) and I've got my daughter a butterfly. I have also standby some paper type, luckily I have that because the poolside was so breezy that the dragon and butterfly just so difficult to lite-up.... Clever Mommy!!! :P

We had great fun! Wish it was the same to all of you too...!

Merdeka Breakfast

Good morning, Sunshine! A great wake up on Merdeka holiday on Friday, 31 August 2007 when daddy says, "Let's go breakfast at Old Town Cafe!" ... My boy jumping in joy because that is his favorite outlet that he can do the ordering... Look at him, busy doing the orders (even brought along his Poke-Ball with him!) For my lil girl, she's just kept repeating her order to the 'Ko-Ko', " I wanna eat mee! I wanna eat mee!" hahaha.... Then, the Ko-Ko finished up the last quarter of her mee! Slurp! Mmmm.... and she did the same with her hot chocolate!

The breakfast ended sweet, with a scoop of ice-cream for each of us *wink*! The 'aunty' at the table next to us commented "So early this family eat ice-cream." ... Merdeka!

*** This is a shot when the camera man (one of Old Town's staff) accidentally took before taking picture for us. Pandainya!
