General Updates - 11 May 2007

Mid Term Break
Time flies!! Next week is mid term already. Boys will have 3 days holiday plus the weekend. H was trying to book a trip when he found out that it's public holiday too (Ascension Day) ....but tooooooo late. All flights fully-booked! Oh well, guessed we'll just stay put and grow worms...

Year 2 Assembly
Last Friday was S2's class assembly, which was based on "Pocahontas". When the teacher wrote to request for costumes (settlers, indians), I quickly wrote back to indicate that we have no costume and would prefer S2 to be a narrator. Didn't want to spend money to go out and buy a costume just for this half hour assembly. Anyway, this fella only had ONE line which was "We would like to tell you what we have learnt in our history class". Yeap! That's it. Just ONE line... The photo depicts the settlers meeting with the indians.

Return of S1
S1 returned on Wednesday afternoon as scheduled... Somehow I see him like he's grown whilst away for two nights. Hee Hee.. H said "lei sei ler.. you sure gonna be those moms that hover over their kids everywhere they go..". He enjoyed himself tremendously....and now, he's got to work on his journal. Of course must write a journal about the trip...

Tidak Apa Attitude
I have to say that I must have the two most TIDAK APA attitude kids in the world man. I don't know how many caps, water bottles, school lunches, books that they've lost/misplaced/left in school. I've nagged, scolded, threatened and still it happens over and over again. MEGA Sien man... Just irks me that I have to keep replacing these things... and they being nonchalant about it all..... GRRRRRRR....GERAMNYA

Precious T-Shirts
H has got a few precious T-shirts that are a style of it's own... He's so proud of them that he's even posed in one of them here. Mom did nagged him a few times to change those T-shirts..and I've tried throwing them...but kena scolding when he couldn't find his precious T-shirts. As you can see that it's in such a unique style, my maid is having trouble ironing and folding them up after she's laundered them! ... Well, think this particular piece disintegrated this morning when he was taking them out...HEEE HEEEE ....

MIL's Birthday & Sad News
Today is MIL's birthday. Haven't called her yet. SMS-ed her though...will call her when boys get back from school later today. Also put in an order of flowers and cake to be delivered to her today... Hope she likes them. H did call her this morning to wish her.. and also received some bad news about her nephew's wife (MIL's sister's DIL)... She hasn't got long.. CANCER... Aunt and family are leaving for the States to see her for the last time. MIL can't get the US visa on time so won't be going. So sad... So sad... They (cousin and wife) adopted a daughter from China, and when she knew her cancer was terminal, she made arrangements for her sister to adopt her daughter.... Cousin is chinese, she's caucasian..somehow donno how come the CHINESE girl they adopted looks mixed. Very pretty girl... So Sad leh... Me also want to cry liow.. (Yeah..this is the angmoh-in-law that speaks and writes perfect mandarin!)

hei my hubby also got a lot of those "holy" shirts, which the maid can't really differentiate between floor rags or "master's" stuff!!
