My Song Writer....

I enrolled Jona into music class since he is 5 yrs old and now, he is in MusicMaker class. What surprise me nowadays is he knows how to write a song!!! And, even sing it out, of course using his ‘own’ tune and lyrics.

First song: THE SHEEP SONGS

The Sheep is Eating Baa 3X
The sheep is sleping{sleeping} Baa 3X
I love sheep and you!!!
Love sheep. Let’s go to the garder{garden}. See 3X
We are going to see the sheep.
We love sheep. Baa 3X
And we love sheep
All the man, lady and kids to love sheep!! I am a sheep.

Second Song: THE BIRD SONGS

The bird is flying go{up} (3X)
The bird have{lay} a {an}egg. YA!! (3X)
Because if it have a {an}egg than we have more birds, YAHOO (3X)
We have a lot of birds in the bird nest and we love baby bird. Yahoo.
All the man, lady and kids to{too} love bird. I am a bird.

Does he has potential to become song writer? Haha….Anyway, he just loves to write and either I need to improve his grammar and spelling or I need to send him to English enrichment class….And, I should have ask him to play that lyrics on his keyboard.....

Cute, Cute Little Angels

Even tho I'm old liao, but, I don't know why I still fancy a cute & small stuff......Last month, when I went to my youngest sis house in JB, I saw this cute board where she stick all her mini magnets on it - look so cute and nice!! And, without hesistant, she gave it to me (ha,ha..good, rather than she just simply throw this cute board on the floor next to her toilet door!!).

During my trip to Taiwan last week(Taiwan is always famous with their cute little thing beside Japan, of course), I manage to buy some mini mini magnets - small ladybirds (still got no chance to stick on the board yet, as my boys are still adores of it and can't depart from their ladybird insert).

Also, I even manage to buy 'Little Angels' Decoration which I aim for so long already. See, the wheelmill of 12 little angels. Don't they look adorable and wonderful? Everytimes, I look at them, my heart just feel so peaceful and happy ~ guess I know that ANGEL is watching at me and protecting me from whatsoever evil that will do me harm. Also, can't stop my itchy hands from buying another set of little angels sitting on the bench.

My aim now is, I will try to search for little angel that has magnet at the back, so, I could stick them on my little board or on fridge. Even plan to purchase all set of little angels with their house for my mom.....

"Wait little angels, I will come and bring you home"......too bad, I don't have a girl, otherwise, sure I can pass this down to her right?

Cross stitching.....

Since young, I love to do cross stitch, A BIG Thanks to my mom for develop this hobby in me.....My mom will always pass to me a simple and easy to do cross stitch while she perform the difficult one, like scene of sunrise using mosquito net as base, etc....I have a lot of cross stitch picture hang in my house(hometown)....


And, ever since I enter Uni -> working -> marry -> got 2 princes, I just don't have the energy or time to spend on cross stitch anymore, till recently, when I travel on business trip....

To kill my 'boringness' at night, when I'm free, I know that I can have this hobby back - when I travel on business trip...yeah, that's the best time for me. Of course, definitely not at home - handling 2 boys, doing housechores, etc, already left me 'O' energy to do some cross stitch at night....

And, especially, for this business trip - in the countries, which had Winter period, cold, freezing and windy, definitely it is not for me to go out and walk around...I really not the type of winter lover, cause I hate when my nose turn red like Rudolph and my ears pain so much and need to wear like 'dumpling' to ease my coldness.....

Hope I could finish it anytimes from now, so I can start hang it up on my wall to brighten my sweet home......

Initial stage ~ 3 mths back....

Now, almost done, except the 'mommy' on right and table cloth.....yeah!!

Angpow collection

My mom started to have this hobby since my dad passed away in 2000. I guess it is to fill in her free time beside sewing quilt/blanket using recycle clothes......

Esp. these past few years, I have been helping my mom to increase her collection. The angpows can come from as far as Taiwan, HongKong, Singapore, of course, the most still from local.....and her collection also expanded to 'green packet' - during Hari Raya as well as 'Deepavali Packet'.....

Imagine, when I went to do my weekly marketing at Tesco: "Got Raya packet or Deepavali packet or not?" at the customer service counter...and guess what their reaction toward me....They will look at me at one kind from head to toe...like I don't look like Malay or Indian to celebrate the festival or to be entitled for green packet??

Too bad, I'm not able to snap some photo of her 'photo album' where she put all her angpows packet in 4R album(She carries it everywhere she go. She seem to be proud of it). It is really nice and wonderful to see through the album.....and she is really creative enough to collect at least 2 pieces of each pattern - who know, the front and the back angpow packet is link to become a picture(can't imagine ler).....

And, since a week plus, I have started shopping around and started asking customer counter, whether got angpows packet to be given away or how much I need to purchase before I could get the angpow - only for my mom!! But, this year, I guess, due to my busy schedule of work/travelling, I might couldn't achieve my target on 'angpow collection' :(.

I guess when I getting old, I don't wish to inherit my mom hobby....he,he..really not easy at all, and I did see some of my mom friend who turn to be nasty just to have that type of collection/packet......It is just a hobby, I think but, I'm not sure what they thinking...some of them, after exchange with my mom for 'free', but, at the back, sell it to other people to earn some money!! So bad hor.....

Everytimes, when I shop at MidValley esp toward CNY, I always think of Leoni - back in 2004 I guess, when MidValley is shortage of angpow packet to be given away, and ask customer to come back to redeem it...and luckily, Leoni(my wonderful friend), got several packet, and volunteer, mail a packet to me...."Thank U so much, Leoni. You really make my life easier and also make my mom so happy with that angpow packet!! I really appreciate your sincere help"....

So, mommies, if you do have this hobby of collecting angpows, would you like to exchange it with my mom - to expand her/your collection? Or, after your kids get the angpow, and wanted to throw it away, would you mind to give it to my mom?

At the end, I just want to make my mom happy :) Mind helping me out??
