My nephews and niece came back from Australia.. my brother doing his research while family taking the opportunity ..holiday…this picture were taken during Christmas last year…

It has been two years they have not meet each other.. so when they met.. havoc…if you want to slimquick…you can take care of them.. for a day….

The girls.. the voice.. i tell you.. like a trumpet.. echoing to your ear… if they scream for the whole day.. and you dont make them stop… side effect.. buli tuli telinga…..anyway.. they are my great inspirations.

My indian and chinese.. haha… Chrissa and Bridget.. they love posing in front of the camera…

The boys… well you know when they in the team.. Ultraman.. the elder.. Dawson.. the two best buddies.. Daniel and Sean.

They had great fun time together.. now they are back to Australia.. huhu.. sadly for my kids.. missing them already.

Naughty, Smart, Active children.. are Normal Children.. don’t let them change..they will change on their own.. just teach them good behavior and have faith in God.

How nice to look at the sunset…saying goodbye to the day….no more daylight..it will be darkness of the night but thanks to the moon.for giving us light at night.. the next day it will be day and night again.. its just the circle of days..months…and years.

We took this picture last weekend.. at the Tanjung Aru Beach.. sunset almost went down..we were late.. but still enjoying the day..

Chrissa and Sean had a walk on the sea..got wet  in the water.. and dirty themselves with the sand.. who can’t resist that?..its just a while but getting them back is another story..you know what i mean..and it can be one of the diets that work … just walk.. get rid of the extra kilos.

The starting.. it was just a small little steps…  but after awhile…they want to go further…so scary.. i don’t really like sea its scared me.. one of the reasons is i can’t swim..and i was once almost drown when i was a little girl.. just walking should be ok.

After having the walk… we took our dinner at one of the stalls…it was great.. will do that again.

Enjoying today.. because tomorrow will never be the same!

Last week, I have received an email from Anthony, promoting his new book ‘This Little Prayer of Mine’.. .. the title of the book makes me want to get hold of the book as soon as possible.  I wanted to purchase the book directly from him..but instead he asked for my mailing address.

Yesterday i was so excited… receiving  a parcel from US…. guess what.. its the book…and signed by the author himself.. so nice of him… i feel honored.

It is indeed a nice book… come with a hard cover and cute cover picture … . easily attract children to get hold of  it.

The content are simple but meaningful… with its rhymes and illustrations.. it makes it easy for children to understand.

Thank you Anthony, my children loves it very much.. not only them.. i love it.

This Little Prayer of Mine… i recommend this book as  a MUST HAVE .. book for every family.. it teaches children to have faith in God, to be thankful, to share with others who are in need, to respect others, asking God to guide them.. ask God to comfort them when they’re sad… its a wonderful book.

If children read this every night before they go to sleep.. they will know ..and trust that God is always be with them.. a simple prayer with meaningful wordings .. great for children.

To me as a mother, i love having it… children can be a fat burner when they are out of control…they can make you emotionally and physically stress.. this book teaches them how to turn to God.. we can remind them to pray.. .. make them pause and think for their action.

Get your own   This Little Prayer of Mine it is  not only a little prayer for my children but  also a blessing.

I know you’re up in heaven, God,
and can hear my voice from there.
I’m just a little child.
Will you answer my short prayer?

We make good decision when we let God guide us… lets start teaching our children to pray..to have faith and trust in God..may our children grow up.. let God guide them..in choosing the right path.

God Bless..

Enough of that.. that weekend we gave ourselves a treat…after church.. we went to CityMall.. our favorite hang out place.. took lunch.. and play games.. yihaa!

Let me see.. who got excited.. daddy or son?

Round.. round in circle..

“The more we say we are tired.. we get exhausted.. but when we say its fun.. we will begin to love what we are doing”...

The first day my son in school.. i was on leave…he was alright.. not much problem..but i check his school bag..he still have his food in his lunch box..after school..took him for a lunch.. and straight back home.

Second day… he went in his class.. but looking at us from the window… i came early to get him in the afternoon.. i saw him doing his work.. he didn’t see me when he went out from the class.. he look tired.. i sent him to his daycare..he doesn’t want to go down from the car..i ended up bringing him to my office… he still got food in his lunch box.. bought tapau .. he ate..he was so hungry..poor baby.

Third day…he doesn’t want to take his breakfast at home… reaching school..he doesn’t want to go down from the car… his daddy had to carry him to the classroom..worse.. he don’t want to enter the classroom… he was crying.. his daddy managed to get him sit for a while.. and then..zooop!.. he was running away..away from the classroom..away from the school.. to the parking area..his daddy can’t catch up.. he just pray for his safety.. he ran so fast…. the next thing  his daddy saw him standing waiting near our car in the car park.

At that time.. i was talking to the class teacher asking how he perform.. well so far he understood what we said..and able to do his work..   the teacher try to persuade my son to follow him to back to the classroom.. my son insist want to follow us home and even mentioned his teacher in kinder’s name.. and the school… he want to go back to his kinder.  I have the feeling that he is afraid.. because it is a big school with unfamiliar faces..my concern is that he is so shy to tell teacher what he wants.

I am now thinking about tomorrow.. how.. and what should i do?… thinking about this matter is a natural weight loss pills for me… anyway..  i was thinking to go there early..and spend longer time with him and i might bring his sister along with us… i will see how it goes.. i just hope tomorrow he wont run away again.

Oh gosh.. what a day.. to me.. and to everybody at home..

Today.. my daughter start her trial in a daycare.. next year she will start her preschool there… and daycare.. she was okay when i sent her early this morning… afternoon i will be going there to check her out.

Today is my son’s first day of trial in primary school… me and hubby got a bit worry.. when the class teacher speaks in mandarin.. i don’t understand a word she’s saying only.. ‘chao an’..’ming pai ma?’.. hehe.. the rest.. can’t figure out.. I really hope Sean will be able to cope with the new environment and i saw him talking to his new friends.. i hope everything goes well.. will fetch him and he will be joining his sister in a daycare.

Today.. my hubby first day at a new place.. no need to worry about him… hehe.. i hope everything will be fine.

Wow.. today is a ‘first day’ for everybody..what a start at the end of the year.  Me and hubby have to start do budgeting for our kids…  If any  school provide  student loans for preschooler and primary school.. i will  be  the first to grab it.  Nowadays  fees are getting expensive.. and this makes me think twice to have additional in the family.   Well.. i don’t want to ruin everybody’s first day.. everybody will get used to it.

Wow… feel it was like yesterday.. i was holding him.. my baby boy..  he turn 6 years old yesterday (8 November 09).. he is still my baby boy…  i will hug and kiss him..and tell him.. no matter how big he is ..  he is still my baby boy.

We make a small celebration at home.. with us, my parents, aunties and cousins. I bought a small cake but we have lots of foods  cooked by mum.. i love her foods… the sayur kampung, ikan masin, sambal udang and chicken soup.

Chrissa joining his brother…

Chrissa and Sean …blow the candle…

with their pretty unties…

their grandmas in action…

After having the great lunch..washing time.. but..taaraa!! no water.. oh my.. my kitchen sinks full of dirty plates.. i washed everything once they left the house.. and before we got the water supply..well..i wash it in the old fashion way…  using the water we kept.. yaii..poor hands got soak in the water.. now i feel my hands so dry.. applying lotion every minutes.. never mind.

The important thing is …we celebrated Sean’s birthday in a simple way.. with love… love him.. love my baby.

Yipee!! Sean graduated from Kinder.. so next year moving on to primary school… wow..

They held the Graduation Ceremony in Yayasan Sabah  Theatre on Sunday, 25 Oct 2009… combining three Qdees Schools, Damai, Kota Kinabalu and Kingfisher.

Let me just brief you about Qdees …before i registered him to Qdees early this year, i checked a few kindergartens nearby to my office.. i compare prices, the location, the school environment, the programmes…  No doubt that it is a bit expensive than previous kindergarten i sent Sean for two years but i just want to give it a try and see how Sean perform.

I highly recommend Qdees for preschoolers… i can give testimonial if you want me too.

What i love about Qdees.. are the series of storybooks that every students need to finished every end of  each semester…and swimming class… Sean so afraid of water but i see swimming not only good for exercise but also building self confidence.

In this picture.. Sean were getting ready for the show.. they were seated at the front row with other students.

My hubby unable to attend because he was in KL… so i bring with me my aunt and cousin..but not in the pic..hehe.. and i don’t quit remember why my Chrissa look so angry.

Receiving his certificate from Mdm. Jane, Principle of Qdees Damai.

Walking back proudly…hehe

Doing their performances ‘Hua Hua Modern Dance’

With his class teacher… Teacher Viviana.. i should say she did a great job.. and i am thankful enough for having her as Sean’s teacher… within a year in Qdees… Sean able to read story books Qdees series.

Happy.. performance over… having great time with his sister and getting ready to go home.

Reaching home.. sitting on the floor tiles taking off his shoes… they were exhausted… sleep early that night.  Well..not only them.. i was so tired sitting down and my eyes got tired watching the performances because we were sitted quite far from the stage.  Until then… wait for Chrissa’s turn next year.

Having a child is the greatest gift.. i wonder why.. until i experience it my own.. raising a child.. seeing them grow in front of you.. the way they change.. their behavior and physical appearance.. getting taller without realizing it until their pants are too short for them.

The way they learn to make sentences… and how they learn to copyright what you said.. being our own shadow sometimes.

My son pick up sentences a bit slow but i thank God that he managed to read at the age of six.. i owe it to the teacher.. and to the school.. and Sean himself for being able to cope with that.  I love to listen when my children have their conversation.. I make sure they talk to each other.. and when they talk to me … i will listen.. and i always give them chance to give their own opinion.

Everyday they pick up lines..not only from mummy and daddy.. but also from friends and teachers in school also from TV.. no doubt about that.  Well here are just a few line that i will always love to remember having heard from them :

I was teaching Chrissa how to answer if somebody asked her how old she is….

Mummy  : ‘Chrissa how old are you’?

Chrissa  : ‘ I am 3 o’clock’

Okay i guess.. when it comes to number.. she will always remember the time.. LOL.

There were times.. me and hubby talking and laughing.. she was in the center looking at us.. we have forgotten about her actually.. she said ‘excuse me, what are you two talking about ah.. is that a jokes’... we actually pause and look at each other… blurr trus.. hehe

The time when i got really mad at her.. .. and when i cool down a bit.. she come to me..‘mummy you marah me or not?.. but i love you’.. i  said.. ‘i marah you because you don’t listen to mummy.. but i love too’… she replied…’i love you three’.…

When i make mistakes.. she will say… ‘you silly old mummy’…mmm i know where this come from…  Darby says this to Pooh Bear… ‘you silly old bear’

Last Saturday we went to CTMall, Chrissa wanted a lipstick.. so i just give her a lipgloss.. she took one.. but undecided… she came to me with another lipgloss in her hand..  i said.. ‘you have to choose either one and keep the other one back to the shelf’… i was searching something..when i turned .. i looked at her.. she was talking to a customer… and i heard she said..‘can you keep this back’..giving the lady the lipgloss’… waduh…

Sean is the big brother type.. if i make mistakes or say words wrongly.. he will say…’eh mummy bukan … ..’ he loves to giggle… i learn his style.. .to make him do something..i just need to apply a bit of jokes..to make it interesting.

Whenever his daddy asked Sean.. if he have any homework.. he will reply his daddy in Mandarin… and we have no choice but to watch Mickey Mouse and most cartoon in Mandarin… thanks to the language setting the ASTRO invented..

I always remind my hubby to be careful of what he says to the children or to anybody in front of the children.. they will copyright and make use of the word.

Lately.. they have been very helpful.. Sean wants to help wash the dishes.. but he not only washing plates…the  copper sinks and the floor wet..wet..wet..

They help me hang their shirts with the hangers.. and put their fold cloths in their own drawer..but don’t expect to have it neat.

I am sure you have you own experience with your young children.. its just wonderful..wonderful..and unforgettable experience.
