Eating out

I got my wisdom tooth pulled off, the gum was pain for many days and it was accompanied with fever... it wasn't that wise anyway to get it removed. anyway, it was gone now.

I'm getting better now and brought kids to eat out at a Hongkie restaurant. My son said the rice was delicious and he enjoyed the meal ^_^ They know how to enjoy good food and dining out is a luxury thing for them :D

and I like the drinking jar more than the food :P


It was Father's Day over the weekend - Happy Father's Day!

Sewing project

Kids pants. This is my latest sewing project - completed.
What have you up with recently?

Beg for the sake of children?

Recently, there have been few cases whereby the mother who would bring along with 2 or 3 young children at the age of around few months old to 4 or 5 years old went around neighborhood to ask for money. They came to me as well. What I'll do usually is give them food like biscuits and packaged drink or instant noodles in the hope that those will fill their hunger. Instead, they will still ask for CASH.
They would said:"Satu hari tak makan dah..." and many more pleading words. Then, I handed a 10Ringgit note to her and asked her to get what she wanted to eat. I even suggested her go get a job for herself. One must work in order to fill hunger, not just keep 'stretch out hand' (ask for money/things). How long can you survive by just depending on mercy or donation from others? I asked her to come again in a-week time or so, if she come I'll refer her to local community service centre. They just needed help. Do watch out not to fall prey onto con syndicate.

Parent-teacher meeting

We were called to attend a meeting session with teachers in my sons school. Meanwhile, it was also to collect their assessment result. On results, Ryan in Kindergarten 2, his English paper scored 96/100, Science 94/100, Mandarin 86/100 and a few more papers with 80-95 marks; whereas Russell who is in Kindergarten 1 scored between 65-90 marks in various subjects. Well, I'm not a marks obsessed person. And during this so called teacher-parent meeting session, the teacher had nothing else to say besides showing me their results and keep saying 'there's improvement'. But, I had something to say to them.

I told them not to write the answer on to their exercise book if my children not able to do it. Leave it blank and simply write a 'homework' in the page, I'll coach them at home. I would rather know the truth that my son was not able to do it than being fooled around that they were answered it well.

Another vital and important step they need to practice is trained their traffic warden to close the school gate and watch the students tight, not to let them run towards parent's vehicle approaching the school. I've had a few experiences that my children were running free towards my car in the middle of the road nearby the school. I had to stop my car in the middle of the road to let them in. There were many silent moments - just keep quiet. But whenever Sam says, it means serious! -after many chances given.

We were not only 'lebih-kurang' (more or less) type, also 'tidak apa' (it is okay ajelah) dengan banyak-nye......!

Sewing project

In the mid of busy daily chores, I managed to squeeze some time to indulge in my favourite past time activity - sewing. I sewed a few pants for the kids, some given away to little nephew. My children are the model of my handsewn product :P
It is hard to make them sit still for photo shooting...


Here's a closer look at the design of the pants... it's a grey Japanese fabric which I found it from my mom's scrap fabric box. The fabric of the linings are of Japanese fabric bought from local fabric shop.

No matter how the pants look on them, they're always proud of it. I would like to sew more of this. It is fun and practical!
