He can really make me cry...

After sending Ann to school, I came home and was surprised to see these...



Kai went on to talk about this surprise...

"I heard the washing machine beep (when the washing is done, it will beep). So I took out the clothes and brought down the bamboo pole, clipped the clothes onto it but realised I had no strength to put it out to dry, so I left it there for you."

I was so touched. I thanked him, gave him a big hug and kiss and told him that some things are only meant for adults to do.

Yes, such little things in life make me very happy. I have always believed that the ability to handle the chores of life marks the maturity of a person.

Kai need not to be an A* student, he need not be a member of MENSA (of course all these would be extra icing on a cake) but as long as he grows up to be a sensible young man, having the abilities to conquer the challenges in life, I will be the happiest mum on earth and I know I have raise him up well. So...don't sweat the small stuff!

My son is growing up each day...

Kai has promoted himself. He is now into airfix. If you are familiar with these modelling toys, you know that it takes a lot of patience and hard work to piece them together.



Every minute piece have to be glued together to form the complete model. I mean, they are really very tiny pieces and Kai did it all by himself. I am glad he enjoyed fixing them up. It shows me the other side of him...patient and merticulous. Well done, my son!

Happy Papa's Day

Yes, it was Father's Day! The celebrations for pops began on Saturday morning...In the morning, we went back to the West Coast park and had a fun time just being together as a family. The weather was HOT, really HOT! In the afternoon, Ann performed two songs with her class at church and guess what, she was made the MC and she led in prayer for all the fathers and mothers in the congregation. We were so proud of her.

It was a special steamboat with soup made from wintermelon, some seafood and wolfberries. Very nutritious.
Very fresh and thinly sliced beef which the kids loved, were put into the soup too.


Pops cooking for all of us and there you have it, a very declicious and healthy pot of steamboat.After a hearty dinner, we went home and reveal the gifts.


Kai made a helicopter for dh and he named it the 'Infinite'. Guess, to Kai, there will never be an end to what pops can do for him


For a change, Ann made a Chinese card for dh. I bought him a Samsonite laptop backpack. I am frugal but dh's frugality way surpassed mine. He has been carrying his old laptop for ages and you know what, it was a backpack which belonged to some kind of health drink. Yes, it was a sponsored bag. I told him, he has 'advertised' for them long enough, time to change
