Holiday Starting

My boys has already started their self-declared holiday. Mummy is freed from being chauffeur and waking up early.

But there are tons to do during the holidays. The wrapping of books, the holidays, the older one going for church camp for the first time and on his own, the back to school shopping. the balik kampong..........wah...feel tired already thinking about it.

No2 is in a dilemma , he is lazy to go back to school but says he misses his friends and on Friday is prize giving day....he had a share in it. If he doesn't go would the teacher keep his 'prize'? Me....aiyo...I hope he doesn't go...I'm already in holiday mood!

The other day when I was waiting for the boys, the Year 6 children were in the hall rehearsing their farewell and prize giving day. I feel so sad hearing their 'farewell' song. But when the teacher asked them how they feel, they all shouted 'hen kai xin' ( very happy!!!!)


Happy Holidays......................

Good And Bad News

Bad News :
Tayar punctured just when I was about to pick up my boys from school.
Good News :
It punctured at the car park. I would have panic if it happens on the road.

Bad News :
Couldn't contact my sister to pick up the boys for me.
Good News :
Managed to get daddy to do it

Bad News :
Couldn't reached No2's teacher to ask her to inform No2 that I'll be late.
Good News :
Daddy was late for 10 minutes. Still better late than never. And No2 accompanied by his trophies during the waiting time managed to 'show off' to the others!!! Else he would have panic cos I've never been late for him throughout the entire year.



Thank you God for watching over us!

Update : According to the 'aunties' who were waiting with No2 for me, that little boy was actually in tears....so they all divert his attention by talking about his trophies. Kind souls....all around!!!

Weekend ( 6-8/11)

We had our nothing short of a blessed weekend few days ago at Genting Highlands. Previously , there were already lots of photographs on Genting, so I will be cutting down in this post.

We were blessed because on the first day, I got a free entrance ticket for all parks. So I paid for the 2 boys. We had almost completed our rides when it started pouring. No1 wanted to ride the monorail as the last...but due to the rain the monorail was stopped. Feeling disappointed he prayed for the rain to stop. However, the 'jaga' told us that it is too dangerous and that the monorail ride will stopped indefinitely. Good thing, he didn't complaint ( which is he's trait that I'm trying so hard to 'rectify')

Nevertheless we had a pleasant surprise when Daddy got 3 more free entrance tickets for all parks for the next day. Daddy was there for a convention and the organizer happen to know that Daddy brought his 'troops' along and gave some tickets to him.....on top of that we also have free coupons for dinner and lunch. Now...you know why I feel so blessed.

Anyway, took the opportunity to tell No1 that, sometimes when God doesn't answer our prayers, that's because He had something better in store for us! What a great lesson. So armed with these free tickets we ride till we dropped dead cos we ride on almost anything that can be ridden except for the few terrifying ones like space shot, flying coaster , cockscrew and a few more which both boys were not qualified!!! Ha! Ha!

I noticed that my 'scaredy cat No1' is now very brave. Due to No2's height, he couldn't get to ride the more thrilling rides like the coaster, so No1 has to go on his own ...because I can't leave No2 behind waiting for us as the queue is quite long for thrilling rides.

Here's some pictures for keepsakes ....
Riding on the jetplane.....these rides has become too mild for the kiddos now.

Rodeo rider...probably the last time for No2 as he has almost reached the maximum height allowable. No1 was too tall for this now. No2 actually felt shy cos he said the rest of the kids are so small compared to him!!!

The almost cannot be missed fun .....bumper car. No1 has to ride on Adult bumper car cos this is now too small for him.
Attacking the dino at the Dinosaur Land with his 'balloon gun'.

This gondola is one of the indoor rides and this is not exactly the best picture ( obviously) but this is the only one which you can't see me! Anyway, I post this out cos I had a interesting conversation with No2 here.

Mummy : Hey, see all the coins in the water? It says toss a coin and make
a wish. Your wishes might come true.
No2 : You must pray to God....where can use this way. Waste money
only!

I have to say...I'm so proud of his response. I'm so glad they brought God along with their holidays!!!

Okay.....end of story.

You Are Happy, I'm Happy

This week most students would have got back their results. The same with my boys. As usual, some papers were good, some okay ( meets my minimum requirements) and of course some will be below expectations.

So I asked them both ( referring to the below expectation results)

Mummy : Are you happy with your results?
Boys : yes
Mummy : Okaylah...your're happy , I'm happy...
{ even if I don't think I should be happy}

{ I normally don't look at the papers immediately cos if I do, they sure get scolding from me!!! Hard to control.... }

Yippee , we're off to Genting this Friday. Forget about exam results ....life still goes on....and each day, we make the choice to be happy or to be upset over trivial things.......You with me???? I'm already into holiday mood!!!

The Young Dentist

On Children's day, No2 lost one of his front shaky tooth. Apparently his friend ( a girl) in his class likes to shake his this particular teeth. It has been shaky over 3 weeks now. Of course he was in pain, when she shook too hard yesterday. There were blood and No2 let out a cry! Poor girl ....she got scolded by her teacher. I think I must go 'thank her' next week....she saved me 'dentist time and fees'. I now call her " The Young Dentist".

There was another shaky tooth...which I had a hard time trying to yanked it off. I use ice but No2 kept complaining of pain. The tooth was already 3/4 dangling and it makes him very hard to eat. Thought of bringing him to the dentist but the 'walk in ' dentist has already closed.

This morning, he called me on the phone and told me , after he cough...the tooth flew out. Yippeee......everyone is so happy . We saved dentist time and fees again!!!

Do you know what I do with their 'shedded' teeth? I throw them into my fish tank.... to provide my calcium.....!!!! Mad mummy ya!

Happy Me

Phew! finally today the boys exam ended. I'm no longer stress up like before...just that I've to push myself to help them do last minute revision else I'll feel very guilty cos I'm a SAHM mah .

So excited about the days ahead....we'll be having good dinners, short vacation here and there.............

As for the boys, they have almost completed their Year 1 and Year 3.

No2 has also ended his 'draught season' when he finally got a consolation price ( 4th placing) for his BM story telling. He has been selected to represent his class in sports ( group and individual), badminton, English Poetry and StoryTelling, Chinese Poetry and Storytelling, BM Storytelling and Singing ( which he later rejected). Despite going thru so many 'competition' he's only able to clinch 1 prize....but it doesn't matter...cos he's so happy anyway.

No1 voluntered to bring 'Mee Hoon' for their class children's day party tomorrow....Nowadays...kids made decision on behalf of their parents!!!
This is the first time he made it for Children's day. During Std 1 , we went somewhere, St2 he was down with fever.....

Time flies....hope everyone else is also looking forward to the school holidays and year end escapade.....

School Food Fair

Last Friday, the Primary 6 students from school held a food fair. All other children were asked to bring money to buy food from these students. The proceeds from this sale would then be channeled to the school various funds .

So when the boys came back these were what they each bought.

No1
a) A packet of Nasi Lemak
b) 2 container ( small ) of jelly
c) A Chrysanthemum Box drink

No2
a) Noodle Snack
b) Twisties
c) French Fries
d) Pokemon cards
e) Played bowling game

See, how they differ? No2 used all all the money...whereas No1 has some leftover. No1 bought proper food, No2 bought mostly junk..........but since this is purely for 'donation' purposes.... ...I let enjoy their buying spree.
