Our Model Pupil

What can we say? We are really proud of our two Model Pupil. Keep it up guys! 

Like what Mama and Papa always say, we should not only focus on academic excellence. It is equally important to have good attitude and character! And to be kind to everyone around you!

Papa!!!

So much has happened these past 2 weeks. The incident with our maid has left the kids traumatized. It really breaks my heart to see and hear the kids requesting to move house.

Everything happened when papa was away in Udon for detachment. Our maid sure knows when to cause a ruckus. Anyway, I managed to send her back to the agency, and thank goodness I didn't give in to her plea when she requested for a second chance. Found so much rubbish in her cupboard when I packed her stuff up! How could someone so pious do this! Such a b****!

  Anyway, papa requested to come back early. And thank goodness there was a replacement to cover him.

Look at how surprised and happy the kids were when papa appeared at the doorstep! Priceless smiles!

They didn't expect to see him 2 weeks early. 

Happy Mother's Day!

This mother's day is extra meaningful to me. Things haven't been smooth sailing recently. So much has happened and even when dear is away, they managed to pull it off together, preparing gift cards and making me a cup of coffee. All unhappiness and tiredness instantly goes away when I received these in the letter box last night. Their actions really melt my heart. 

Each time I feel defeated, looking at both of them do give me the strength to persevere and not give up. I've tried and failed at many things in life but I will NEVER stop giving my 100% at being the best mum I can be.

Having both Zac and Nana in my life is the best gift I could have ever asked for. 

And the kids have endless surprises for me. They woke up extra early today, took my handphone and played this from Youtube. Such a pleasant surprise to wake up to! What a great way to start my day! 

Happy Mother's Day to all mums out there! Enjoy this video!
