Special Moments
blackhole! ~ Days 8-17
So we got sucked into this blackhole called life. Things have been moving along, as we continue on in the new school year. Amazing skies at dusk. The days are getting warmer and the cloud-scape has been nothing short of amazing. Rather therapeutic to watch them move and change their shape, flitting across the wide [...]
days 6 & 7
Friday was a nice, sunlit day. With only Jayden in school, I brought Kath for a walk round the estate. Strangely familiar yet different, it was quite the novel way to teach Kath colours and nature. I was pleasantly surprised that she actually did not fuss, and that we managed quite a distance (2km!) on [...]
bedtime ~ 005
It sure doesn’t look like it but we were minutes away from bedtime. To be more exact, we were minutes away from them actually falling asleep, and way past bedtime. After a long day with kids, the magical moment when they doze off into the still of the night is rather welcoming. Enough said. Nitey [...]
playfulness 004
Self explanatory really. I’ve been hearing them tell tales on each other almost daily so such moments, are meant to be treasured. Kath, who only remembers being wronged, has no concept of when it occured and will persistently repeat it to anyone who would listen. Until the next wrong is done against her. Heh. Poor [...]
first day of school! — 003
Today I’m thankful for a fuss-free, painless day of school. Jayden had a mini-meltdown when he started two years back. It was probably due to him having a relatively new sister. He would cry the most when I sent him off. Thankfully, drama-mama days ended within the first 2 weeks of school and never came [...]
365 days of thanksgiving ~ 001
This new year, I’m trying a new pet project. 365 days of thanksgiving; one item a day. One whole year through. I never quite made it through with my photo-a-day series last year so let’s see how far along I’d get with this. At the end of it all, I figure, this will make a [...]
goodbye 2011
Just like that, the year is ending. Just like that, 2012 is coming. Both kids will be in school, their new school and they are pretty darn excited. Good for us. Hopefully, the transition will be much easier as compared to when J first started out in pre-N. So, we’d see you again in 2012… [...]
Happy Feet 2!
We snuck the kids out to the movies just now. Never mind that it’s a weekday and there’s school for Jayden tomorrow. The term is almost ending. Not like last minute cramming is going to get him all that much smarter. So, mum and I packed both kids out of the house and barely made [...]
Concert!
One thing about getting older is a greater awareness of what is going on. One thing about not being too much older is not getting stage fright. Just right. Jayden had his year end kindergarten concert yesterday and it was a pleasant surprise to see he was quite in sync with the song and dance. [...]
Midweek, PH please!
Can every Wednesday be a public holiday? I think we all enjoyed the mid week respite. It felt so much like a Saturday! Double Trouble Fun.
Recovery in Progress
It’s been one crazy hectic week. Of poop and puke. We are all down with stomach flu, taking turns to fall like dominos. The kids have almost fully recovered and are largely back to their chirpy selves while me and mum are struggling to keep queasy tummies at ease and mind the two bundles of [...]
half and half
One thing that Jayden loves about going on trips is that he gets to be Mr Photographer. We got the Golden Half but did not bother to get the flash so we got to be outdoors or very very bright indoors to get decent shots. And well, we are outdoors most often when on holiday. [...]
on a roll
Life’s been busy these couple of weeks months. And I imagine it’d only get busier. Still, snippets out to chillax are always the best. Sans kids too. Pictures from Hipstamatic, absolutely loving the new Lucas AB2 Lens.
Malacca Lah
So we sneaked up North for a quick 3d2n escapade and brought the kids with us. A tiring but fun trip and one we enjoyed enough to think of repeating. We took the bus up and thankfully, the kids fell asleep. Armed with honey stars and milk packets, they managed to stave off hunger till [...]
another year older
V, not the kids. Well, their birthdays have come and gone. With Jayden having much more decent handwriting and his love for colouring, we found some printables to make a lil card for V. And Kath not wanting to miss out, decided to colour one too. She requested demanded for an elephant. Why, I do [...]
