Meimei: "Last night Emily came to the master toilet to pee and found no toilet paper. She went to replace a toilet roll in the dark without waking me up. #laobaksai"
Meimei: "One for the memory lane hehe"
Meimei: Use “dad” in a sentence
阳阳: "I miss dad because he was in US"
阳阳: "I miss the cutie pie. I miss those cheeks. She’s just so cute"
阳阳: "I miss those cheeks ALOT"
This week is Library and New Media Literacy Week at school. So kids can dress up as characters they read in books.
萱萱 chose to go as Colette from the Thea Stilton storybooks. We didn't prepare for it but Meimei managed to pull off a miracle and scrap together a costume for her. Phew!
阳阳's learning journey to the Science Centre with his preschool classmates. Pictures are shared by teachers.
Recently discovered that you can configure your lock screen to change regularly with photos from your library album. So now I would look forward to every turn of the hour to see what new throw back photos of 萱萱 and 阳阳 that will pop up on the lock screen. Oh how we miss the cuteness of both when they were just toddlers.
Brought 阳阳 to cycling lesson to drill him on the take off. He did great today, didn't complain when he fell and really put in the effort to get it right. Meimei and I were happy to see the focus. And Edmund gave him a graduation thumbs up. Now we just need to give him the chance to keep practising on his own.
Woohoo! Finally collected our new wedding bands. Cost close to $3K but so worth it. The old ones had turned yellow and were too tight. We went for the platinum ones since they are touted to not discolour. We'll see. More importantly, Meimei is now able to put the band on together with her diamond ring.
Meimei bought ordered cupcakes for 阳阳's birthday celebration at school. Glad we were able to do this since he already missed 2 years of school celebration due to Covid.
As usual we did another round of it at home but he was cranky by the time we got to it. Everyone else were all smiles except for the birthday boy haha.
萱萱 and 阳阳 will tugging at the squeezy rubbery band we bought from marina square. I didn't see it happen but Meimei narrated the aftermath in chat.
"姐弟俩玩巨型橡皮圈，姐姐放手弹到弟弟的脸"
"眼睛没事，可能有一点红也可能是哭红。右边鼻子一点点鼻血"
Yeeyee: "Confiscate all"
Meimei: "Already did"
Yeeyee: "Already told them not to do that"
Meimei: "Really stupid"
Yeeyee: "Even confiscating doesn't feel like enough punishment"
Meimei: "I know but Didi got punishment enough I think"
Meimei: "He went mirror then cried harder: now I am not as cute anymore…. I like how I look last time…. Waaaaaaaaaaillllll"
Yeeyee: "Haha, gosh, I can feel him"
Nyama: "真是又好笑 又好气又可怜…"
Thankfully the red patches subsided the next morning and he was chirpy as a bird again. Let's hope they learned their lesson and not do this silly tug of war game again ... well kids be kids right? Hahah they are going to do it again no matter what we say.
A colleague of mine is a Hilton Diamond and one of the perks is the ability to gift Diamond status to another account. He generously gifted me Diamond for the year so now I can enjoy the perks of being a Hilton Diamond member. That includes breakfast, free room upgrades, free drinks at the lounge etc. Perfect for business travel.
I thought bamboo are water resistant and generally least susceptible to mould and fungi. So I didn't put a coat of lacquer when we bought this shelving from Ikea. Unfortunately it seems the bamboo wasn't treated so mould started growing on it. We have to clear out the stuff on the shelf, give it a good wash before bringing it out for a good coating. If that doesn't work we'll have to discard it.
