Life goes on


Technology is a pain. It helps us, no doubt about it. It has made life much easier and information is literally at our fingertips but….like what my friend said “if the server mati, all is gone.”

I cannot imagine if there is a massive earthquake and the world wide web kaput. Men will be running around like a headless chicken.

Please bear with the picture-less entries. It will take some time for yours truly to drop them in one by one. Yes, I still have all the originals *smile*

My blogging continues…

Argh!!!!!!

Please excuse me as I sort out this ….my pictures are all gone.

If you happen to know or someone who knows how to retrieve photos from the Picasa Web album, please drop me a note at swoonll@yahoo.com.

Technology…can be a pain!

True, very true

If we have not learned to discipline our kids, we ought to start doing now.

Never miss it

I try my darnest not to miss any event which the kids are involved in. Even if it is a boring thing to do, I still try my best to be present. Especially for Ann. Her love language is TIME. She just love to have me around when she is participating in any event. I try as much as I can to fill up her gas tank with my TIME.

Through the years, I have been there…

Soon, very soon, they will all grow up. If not now, then when?

For once, a good change

Since coming home, I have seen many changes in my country. Changes which I do not think is good. Changes which make me think of moving again. However, this is one good change.

Guess what is this? (Toilet)

Guess where is this? (Inside the toilet)

This place was actually the old Turf City. What a change, a good change... finally.

So cool and calm

When my kids are so cool and calm during the exams period, do I panic or do I relax?

I think having been away is good cos’ Kai and Ann have absolutely no idea what exam stress is all about. It is good to keep it this way. I guess, I played a part in their attitude towards exams. I have always told them that whether it is CA, SA, just take it as mummy giving you an assessment. I think it works!

All about then and now

They are the best of friends. Family friends. Knew each other since Montessori days. You can tell who is the cheeky one, trying to act cool.

The best of cousins. Any change?

When they were younger, they were really a handful. The eldest (middle one) is an autistic kid with a big heart. He never fails to share. I always tell Kai and Ann, they must learn from their big cousin on the virtue of sharing.

I am such an irony, to wish that they will grow up fast yet sometimes, I wish they will be little toddlers again.

Then, there were four …
4 kiddos

She is surrounded by boys, that’s why, she is not someone to mess with.

When she first started school, for the first six months, she was always thinking of her days and friends in SSIS. No one wanted to be her friend here because the kids already have their group of friends.  They have already known each other since P1. In fact, some of the girls were very unkind. They asked her to sit away from them, didn't want her to join them at recess etc.... Thank God, she is very resilient. She made friends with the boys instead. Hahaha. See, other than IQ and EQ, you need SQ (social quotient), very important.
