The story about Aliyah by Nana

Nana was saying that she has finished her composition and needed papa to help with the printing. I was impressed with what she has done, the choice of words, contents, layout and pictures... Our 8 year old girl did it all by herself on her iPad! 

2015 Model Pupil Award

We are so proud of our baby girl who received the Model Pupil Award for this academic year.

Congratulations bb!

Keep up the good work in school.

And continue to help others in need and show compassion towards the less fortunate.

Our little chefs

I meant to search for a cookbook and thus made a trip to the library on Wednesday. And since the kids were home due to PSLE marking closure, I brought them along. The two of them were on their own looking for books while I immersed myself in my pile of cookbooks... Its funny when both showed me the books they intended to borrow... 

"Ma, they have really good recipes here. Can we borrow? We thought of cooking for you and papa on Saturday." 

And so, today marks a new milestone for our precious kids... Nana cooked scrambled eggs and pancakes for breakfast... She cracked the eggs, weighed the different ingredients according to the recipe and managed the frying all by herself. Of course under our close supervision...

For lunch, Zac planned on cooking hamburger and BBQ chicken... We ran out of quite a number of ingredients and Zac volunteered to do the shopping all by himself! 

Look at our sumptuous lunch!

I want to wash my shoes!

Our weekends are usually busy. We find ourselves running from one place to another, rushing to get our marketing done, run errands, visit our parents, etc etc. And most importantly, ensure that the kids' school work is complete. Madness!!!

Anyway, Zac has been wanting to wash his school shoes himself. But we really couldn't afford the time to let him do it.

Today, since we are forced to stay indoors due to the haze, its the perfect time to show him the skills to get that sparkly white shoes! 

And he did it! Exceed our expectations! A good scrub and his grey shoes turned white!

Happy Mother's Day!

So this is project MDP (Mother's Day Parade) which the kids have been talking about all week... Woke me up at 8am and Nana began her speech and song performance. Then Zac walked in carefully with my breakfast. And a flower was presented...

Moved me to tears when dear said he saw Nana dropped the flower on the road while he was driving home. Without looking out for any incoming vehicles, she rushed back to pick this flower up... This was how important this flower and project was to her...

Happy Mother's Day to all mums out there!
