why i like buying clothes for children?

why i like buying clothes for children?

I think subconsciously it has to be the guilt of not being able to be with them most of the time, if not all the time.

So to make up, I got them something that would able to
hug them
touch them
protect them all the time

Did I also mentioned that I also especially like to buy pyjama?
that's because it's the most comfortable piece of clothes and worn during the most relaxing time of the day.

talking about quirky habits..

1 year dy lo

my little one has just celebrated her 1st birthday.
In this 1 year, I'm very grateful for every moment that I spent with my children.
I learnt and grew together with them ...
Every moment is very precious 
and I'm thankful for every moment I get to be their mother ... 
I know I am greedy but I do want to continue growing with them year by year 
because I could never love them enough ...

a different ball game

ah dear was airing some plastic box and plastic drawers the other day.
I was feeding little ah bi when the kor kor jie jie keeps bugging me to play with them.
So out of desperation, I came out with a different ball game for them.
Asked them to pour all the balls into the plastic box, took a ball of each colour and place them into different drawers.
Voila, a new colour ball sorting game. 
and they repeated the game for 3 rounds ... sorting and mixing back and sorting and mixing back.
To up the ball game, I told them got TIME LIMIT
so they got excited all over again....LOL
(ya, I just pretend to count down ie..10 minutes left...9 minutes left... 8 minutes left...)
Well at least the excitement lasted for about half an hour, just enough for me to feed ah bi and let her sleep.

financial education in primary school 2014, secondary school 2017

financial literacy at an early age
Image: FreeDigitalPhotos.net
Better late than never.
Let's not delve into details ... contents, resources, readiness, implementation.
let's just take it as good news to a humble mother for her children to have access to financial knowledge / information in which she has to learn the hard way.

they reminded me that ...

@ work, fingers have been pointing, accusations have been hurling around when system errors occur after the major project cutover.
Being a tester, we are most of the time the most vulnerable group irregardless of whether you have done your due diligence.
To avoid further unnecessary stress, I decided to just let those pointed and hurled at me to take place without struggling to put up any defense. 
It was after all very meaningless to me. 
However, to say that I'm not affected at all is telling a big fat lie through my teeth.

Somehow God decided to remind me that admidst all the 'you have not done .... / you have done it wrong' that have been hurled towards me, that Saturday, through my ah bi(s) I was reminded that ....
perhaps I've done something really important ... something that matter more ...



that day the elder one told me he love me and offered to help me wash the dishes (all of sudden) and later that afternoon he helped me fold most of his own and sister clothes. 

In case you're wondering how they reach the sink, look at the 2 fella tip toeing. 
I was happy when he told me he love me, happier when he offered to help me wash the dishes, happiest when he solved his own problem (taking the stool when he can't reach the running water) and the little one followed his example. 

(and to satisfy your curiousity, no, they didn't thoroughly rinse all the soap from the kitchen utensils ...haha, but to me they are already doing a great job =) 

* ps. sorry for the exposed skins, she was getting ready to take bath when she decided to join the fun.
   
Maybe after all, I'm not as bad as what they say.  
and that I now know very clearly that I live for myself ...

children do learn from their parents

In my effort to inculcate independence in my kiddies, I have the tendency to encourage them to reach or to get their things on their own.
For instance, when they want (or I want them) to drink water, I'll tell them go to take their own water bottle and if they don't remember where they left it, I'll tell them to try and look for it themselves. The same goes for their potty or any other stuff that's within their reach.

However, the other day, I got a taste of my own medicine.
I was laying down and needed help from my elder one to help pass me my water bottle which was a few feet away from me. 
And so I asked nicely : (Name)(name), can you help mama take mama water bottle there please. Thank you. (pointing at the direction of the water bottle).
and I do get a very nice reply : mama, mama need to learn to do things yourself. Mama, you can do it.
I still feeling lazy to wake up so I say : mama need (name) help cause mama not well, pain pain cannot stand up but mama thirsty and need to drink water.
He then asked me : Mama where pain pain? (like I always ask him when he's not well)
I lied : mama leg pain pain 
So he went to grab my water bottle, passed it to me and said : mama you drink more water, then no more pain pain (just like I always tell him to drink more water so got no more sick).
I said : Thank you very much (name) for being helpful. Now, you go take your own bottle and drink together with mama, can?
I was lucky that he obliged and didn't use the 'reason' I used back on me.

 This incident made me realized that children, they really learn alot from what you DO as opposed to what you PREACH.
As parents we are always being 'WATCHED' so we should try our best to lead by good example.

童年

the good ool times ...
I wish I could let my children experience their 童年 as much as possible too, rather than being caught up in the competitive rat race..







《童年》 歌词 
池塘边的榕树上 
知了在声声地叫着夏天 
操场边的秋千上 
只有蝴蝶儿停在上面 
黑板上老师的粉笔 
还在拼命唧唧喳喳写个不停 
等待着下课 
等待着放学 
等待游戏的童年 
福利社里面什么都有 
就是口袋里没有半毛钱 
诸葛四郎和魔鬼党 
到底谁抢到那支宝剑 
隔壁班的那个男孩 
怎么还没经过我的窗前 
嘴里的零食 
手里的漫画 
心里初恋的童年 
总是要等到睡觉前 
才知道功课只做了一点点 
总是要等到考试以后 
才知道该念的书还没有念 
一寸光阴一寸金 
老师说过寸金难买寸光阴 
一天又一天一年又一年 
迷迷糊糊的童年 
没有人知道为什么 
太阳总下到山的那一边 
没有人能够告诉我 
山里面有没有住着神仙 
多少的日子里总是 
一个人面对着天空发呆 
就这么好奇 
就这么幻想 
这么孤单的童年 
阳光下蜻蜓飞过来 
一片片绿油油的稻田 
水彩蜡笔和万花筒 
画不出一边那一条彩虹 
什么时候才能象高年级的同学 
有张成熟与长大的脸 
盼望着假期盼望着明天 
盼望着长大的童年 
一天又一天一年又一年 
盼望长大的童年

re-cycle toys

remember those wooden peg which sometimes we use in art subject during our school times.
I stumbled upon some at the hypermarket alley during window shopping and couldn't resist getting them.
So with RM1.50, I brought all these little pegs home (i think about 20 of them.

 I always tell my kid I've new games for them (eventhough I have not thought of any yet) and love seeing their 'looking forward faces'.
So when I opened the pack, I thought him how to clip and unclip (his fine motor skill a little lacking and still room for improvement).
Then I started making the pegs stand and he follows what I did. Here, he puts most of it up with me pretending to put the same old one again & again...lol



lazy to prepare the stuff for water colour to paint the pegs, I took the short cut and dished out magic colours. This stack scribbled by my little boy.





and this stack is those salvaged by mama ... as usual, all things colourful.

next upcycle project : making a photo line with some photos hanging with these clips on a metal wire =)






oh... and these are the cardboard cut out for playing memory game / matching game courtesy of campbell soup and pudding cardboard. 

wish me luck in coming up with more games for little ones to avoid me giving them empty promises ... haha

when he thinks we are sleeping


This is one of the many proof of things he has done when he thinks we are still sleeping..
Not only does he applied lotion to his 妹妹's face ... he also applied lotion on the poor little fella's face.

you light up my life! you keep me warm!

Got this microwave oven at a bargain price. 
Now I get to eat warm food conveniently without needing to reheat using steam method. 
Knowing the lazy me...sometimes I just skipped the heating part previously.
Thank you so much CY for bringing me this! 
and to SY too for sharing with me some secret recipes! 
Birthday + mooncake festival present for little boy from my sis.
Comes with lights & music. both of them were fighting for it that it now has to be hung up high where only papa can reach. 
Thank you mei mei.

1st big item purchase from IKEA @ RM69.
Again, was bought when ah dear out station for work else I may have left it as it is @ IKEA...hehe
Nevertheless, thank you ah dear for suprisingly assembling when I was at work previous Saturday =)



these 2 ... i got myself from the hinode RM5 shop. Pretty sure it's waste money but I've been looking & relooking the design since 2-3 months back (all the while considering whether to buy or not to buy). At last the devil won.




** the mosquitoes spray vehicle just passed by 2 rounds this morning around 5am. 
Thank you very much to the person who take his job seriously in helping to eradicate aedes mosquitoes and fight dengue fever. God bless this person(s).
There were quite a number of cases @ this part of the town lately.

life's simple pleasure



I love to let my children play with toys that are non-toy. 
(And also get scolding from their papa for letting them play with non-toy that are considered hazardous items)
By doing so, hopefully I'm able to teach them to appreciate simple things in life. To be able to make lemonade from lemons. To be able to create something out of nothing ...

So those previous weekends (when I no need to work like this coming Saturday) I'll let them experience real fun @@! 
(although I suspect it's more I'm the one having most fun...lol)

I tried putting them into bath basin and drag them around like boat (minus the water) which my little one enjoy very much and will start shaking the boat if I stop to rest. She likes it the most when the boat makes a 360` turn. 
And when I've burnt off enough calorie, I will just throw some treasure into the boat, she'll have some good time provided I remain in sight. That's how I get stuff done in the kitchen nowadays.

Sometimes, when things get out of control, I detain her in the laundry basket and surround her with all the dirty clothes and bedsheets. She'll have to figure out how to release herself from the cocoon...haha (sounded a little cruel ho?)
Now, she released that the laundry basket couldn't support her weight anymore when she stand up and tilt to a side (and mama wouldn't let her fall) so she got her easy way out dy ..lol
Perhaps it's time to make it more challenging =p

弟子规

Learning &; understanding 弟子规 myself currently.
how can a mama teach her children if she herself doesn't even know?
Although I was not chinese educated but I'm always mesmerized by the wisdom of chinese language.

奶妈

I'm the little baby 奶妈.
My milk has been consumed (not sure voluntarily or involuntarily though) by my friend's baby while she was away for a week to Taiwan. She's a breastfeeding mother too.
I've never got the opportunity to donate blood but I'm glad I provided food for this little baby. 
Haha...no big deal i know, no breastmilk still got formula milk what...=p

something I picked up along the way

drawing ... something I've never liked 
but somehow it's something that I HAD to pick up ...
Now it seem like a pre-requisite (at least enough for little ones to know what I'm drawing)
