The day before school

How happy that the kids are back to school!! No more messes and less arguments in the house.

We spent a couple of days in Sri Aman, then went to Lundu for its beach. And tuition and afternoon classes started again last week. Jay was not well last Friday but happy that he has recovered in time for school.

Yesterday, everyone woke up early. Slightly after 7am and since the weather was good, we went to the nearby park for a morning walks and exercises.

Kids were sweating out. Everyone did.

In the evening, we went to the pool to cool ourselves down. The water was nice and warm. Everyone has a big splash and water fight.

At night, the kids had an early night. Even Jamie dozed off after the bath from the pool.

When is the next long school holiday? Would not be that soon, I think.

What they did in April

Kids were busy rehearsing for their 1st church repertoire

Never ending schoolworks, spellings and revisions. Noticed that more schoolworks for Jay this semester.

Tuition centre hunting for the kids and glad we found one nearby.

Weather is turning warm and one evening I treated them to a cooling sweet dessert of yogurt ice-cream

Jan went for her grade 2 piano exam, which she passed with merit of 135/150 marks

Kids entered a colouring competition on one Sunday morning

Celebrated Jan's 10th birthday with a lunch treat and birthday cake

They have time to play together and some nights, everyone has sleepover in my room.

The swimmer in him

Jamie loves to swim.

Actually it has been months since we brought the kids to the pool. However last Saturday as Jan had her swimming class (after a month of absence), we brought the other 2 for a swim. 

How happy Jamie was!! He kicked, he splashed, he drank the water! 

Hope the weather would be good on weekends to allow the kids for a good fun in the pool.

He is in class

After CNY, we decided to bring Jamie to Sunday school. 

Actually we tried last year but he was moody and cried. Probably he was unfamiliar with the environment and people. Or he was still small and did not understand all this.  So we decided to give it a try again last month.

We have been to 2 classes and so far it was alright although Jamie did not mingle around with others.

When it comes to arts and food time, he was more than happy to sit quietly on the chair. 

For time being, I would accompany him to Sunday school.

Jan and Jay are busy rehearsing for the Sunday School's Sunday concert which is happening next month. Both has been in Sunday school for almost a year and are in different classes. 

Jesus said,"Let the children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of heaven belongs to such as these. ~ Matthew 19:14

Kids this week

Jan and Jay were back from their holiday and once again, it is a busy and noisy at home

Play time with their pretty cousin

Been a while since we catch a movie as a family but on Friday we watched "Star Wars" and fortunately this round Jamie was well-behaved and watched the entire movie

Never bored with modelling for my camera

Jamie enjoyed his hair cut

Schools are going to open soon, so shopping for schools

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

Time to enjoy

School holiday is officially started! It is time for the kids to relax, forget schools and enjoy themselves doing things they love.

My 2 kids were treated by their grandparents today to shopping malls hopping. They hopped to 5 malls in a day!

Christmas decor has up and it feels like Christmas everywhere.

And for being good kids, they got new watches each.

Lighted up the lanterns

It is Mid-Autumn festival today so it is a tradition to bring the kids to play lanterns on this night.

It was 1st time for Jamie so it was quite a handful to look after him and same time made sure the lanterns are not burnt. Surprisingly none was burnt.

And we lighted up our very 1st family sky lantern to the sky this night. 

Just wish the sky would be clearer and the moon was visible but alas. The haze covered up the moon so it was quite blur in the sky.

That's it!! Kids were having some fun walking around holding the lanterns and seeing the sky lantern flew up. No school for them tomorrow so no one would be sleeping early tonight. *wink wink*

Our Sunday

This was what our Sunday morning look like.

Cheerful smiles

Happy to go shopping

Get ready lunch

Hope you have a great Sunday.

1st day of school holiday

Went for a hair cut this morning

And a little stop in Big J's office!

Happy holiday, guys!

Happy Year of Goat

Just want to wish everyone a Happy Chinese New Year and Gong Xi Fa Chai!

Have a Baa-lastic year!

Little snippets of 2014

To another awesome year. Happy new year!!

Not so magical

Went to Plaza Merdeka last night. The decoration was not very interesting and Christmassy. 

Nevertheless the kids enjoyed taking photos there.
