When skyping is our only way of communication

Here we go again with our school holiday routine. The kids spend their weekdays over at nenek's house while we work. Now that there is Skype, we tried to catch up face-to-face every night. 

And during the day, Skype is our way of texting each other. Because we always talk instead of messaging, it feels kind of exciting to see how the kids reply.

Zac's Form Teacher

Time really flies. It's the end of the academic year and both kids are moving on to their next stage of school life next year. Zac will be in P4 and Nana in P2.

Today, we attended the Parent's-Teacher Meeting in school. It was our 1st time this year. Prior to the session, I was telling the children how excited I was. I have seen Nana's teacher and have spoken to her a few times before. Where else for Zac, since he is in the morning session, and I had to work, I have never got the chance to meet her in person.

Zac began describing how he has been feeling in class this entire year. He was sharing how stressful it was for him. Apparently, his teacher has an eye condition where one eye actually faces outward, and thus looks like both eyes are not looking at the same target.

There were a few occasions where his teacher looked at a student and told him/her to stand up. But due to her eye condition, Zac panicked and thought he was the one being called out and immediately stood up. To his surprise, teacher always ask "Zac, why did you stand up?" Phew. That was a relief for him. Haha.

So when he found out that he is going to get another teacher next year, can you imagine how pleased he was?! That smile on his face says it all!  

Our 15th anniversary!

We have gone a long way back, from classmates to soulmates. Who knew you had a motive for not bringing your books to tutorials 15 years ago. Hehe ;p Amongst the boring notes and complicated equations, the drawings of tortoises and coconut trees on islands which you made kept me motivated. Love between us slowly blossomed.

Now, my life is indeed pleasurable with you around and I look forward to growing old with you. Hope you like this clip dear...

Cause we are her heart

Ever since we no longer engage a helper, my mum has been taking care of our children while we work. She will come for a stay over every Sunday night and only return home every Friday evening. Thank you Mak!

Since the children started their 1 week school holiday on 6 September, mum prefers that the children go over to her house instead. And because me and dear couldn't take leave, we had to stick to her arrangement. 

Today, we went to pick the kids up after work. After 5 days away from us, this is what we received from our BB girl. We feel so loved!
