Phew! Finally, I get to be on leave for a while. It’s gonna be busy busy busy as well these whole week. I have an event coming up this Saturday with my partner. Yes, I am doing event such as opening, wedding planning, party, engagement, fullmoon and more. Although it’s busy but a really fullfilling expereince. I love it! 

The kids are fine. It’s holiday and there are both sticking to each other at home. Ivan is all about games, games, and more games everyday. He has put on some weight I noticed, a fuller face. Perhaps, no more worries or hectic and difficult home work for him. All he could think of is wake up earlier than usual time, no need to call, wake up automatically to start his day of games.

As for Adel, she has grown up so much. A taller girl with more words uttered and a lot more demand. She screamed out loud and demanded me not to tie my hair yesterday. I thought what happened? I released my hair, she screamed again and said ” Mama no tie hair.” So I release my hair and she stop screaming. I tie again and she showed face and said “Mama no tie hair” again. :) She is a funny girl.  Hahahaha! 

I am sure most of us asked this questions when the school holidays is near. We didn’t have much plans except a spontaneous Saturday ended up in Bird Park again. Hubby asked, why you love Bird Park so much? … actually don’t you think it’s very nice? Up close and personal, you could see birds everywhere and it’s “The World’s largest Free Flight Aviary”. You could see all kinds of birds, it has 3,000 birds and 200 species from all over the world and it’s cheap for a family outing.

We are frequent bird park visitors but this is first time for Adel. She was afraid when I brought her near to small birdy wondering around the floor. She uttered “scared” but enjoyed herself very much. She threw many tentrums in the middle of the Bird show; she wanted badly to get on to the swing at the playground nearby. I forgot to charge my camera, so not much shot taken.

On the other hand, we are sending the young boy for a circumcision. He had problems with some infection a while ago. School holiday is probably the best time for this simple surgery. Not sure how his reaction would be but I could predict that he is going to give us hard time.  He is the kind that would demand to plaster his small tiny little scratch on his hand or leg. I can’t imagine what he would react after having to remove foreskin from the most sensitive part of his body. Ouch! Good luck darling! 哥哥加油! 加油! 

“I thought he is improving?” I replied. “Yes, but compare to others, he is a bit slow.” Frankly, I felt down after hearing what she said at that moment because I think Ivan has done marvelous already in terms of his mandarin. But I must admit, he is not so good in BM and English, which needs a bit of hard work. I must really spend more time to be with him. He scratched himself on the face while saying “I will destroy myself” last night. He is whispering to me now, lost his voice from too much crying, kicking and throwing things. Guess I will too behave that way for having to work so hard with so little fun at age 5+. My husband used to tell me, “Fun and learn” (school’s name) only learn and there’s no fun at all. 

 Today, he came to me submitting this lovely box and told me. “Mommy, this is for you to put your watch.” Doesn’t it look lovely? But I only have so few watches, may be I should put my handmade jewelry in there instead.

It’s been a long time since we brought the kids out for excursion, especially adel. Due to her demanding-ness at this terrible 2 stage. Thanks to labour day and mommy is less stress and more at ease, we woke up early and head to midvalley to get a glimpse of the various monsters and dinosaurs on display. Both the kids got a little quiet and reserved due to the oversized display and its eerie sound… adel clinged on tightly to daddy all the time.

For the price that we were paying, I didn’t expect much. To pay RM 8 for kids 5-15 for entrance ticket is reasonable. Surprisingly, there were plenty of crowds and we spotted a family came with body guards as well. Guess everybody loves Dino.

Since Ivan was around when I was looking for clothes to wear for a friend’s wedding dinner, I asked him:

Which one is nicer? The red or brown one?

He says, the red one is nice, the brown one also ok. (Very diplomatic)

I took out another pink one. What about this pink one? Nice?

He paused for a while and said yes, then continue by saying the red one also nice. So I asked him, why is the red one nice?

Because it has got flowers on it. (Actually the dress is as old as him. 5yrs already. Luckily it still fits me well.)

Anyway, Finally he agress that the pink one looks classier. So I wore my pink one after make-up.

Ivan, mommy pretty or not?

No answer…

Ivan, mommy pretty or not?

Yes, mommy, you’re more than pretty.

haha! I was a bit shock that he said “more than pretty.” Obviously I was overwhelm with his praise.

I had a great night meeting up ex-colleagues after such a long time.

The other day when I was coaching Ivan with his home work, (They are tons of them, sometimes we finished hw at 11pm, CARZY!) he got frustrated with me correcting his mistake in Chinese Characters, he threw his pencil, and said,

“You just throw me to the rubbish la.”

“Huh?” I got so stunned, gosh!!! (He must have picked up what I said about throwing him to the smelly rubbish dump if he is naughty.)

This is not the first one, there are more…in the car, while talking, he got upset with me and bla out something like this,

“You just throw me outside la and the cars will langgar me.” -”bite fingers.“

“I hope you are joking, I care for you that’s why I tell you all this. If you are not my son, I don’t think I will care. Like those dogs outside, nobody care for them, no food, no milk, no home, no toys, no mummies, do you want that to happen to you?”

““No”, he replied.

 ”You are joking right?” I asked him again.

“Yes, I am joking”, with a frown.
