I also have ONE !

Mummy has a Mother's Day Card, so have I!

Jiaheng was beaming with pride when he presented the Father's Day card to me today. Can see that he has put in lots of effort in the card.

Jiaheng, Papa likes it very much! Thank you, thank you, thank you. And thank you so much for being such a teachable boy, Papa really enjoys teaching you.

If you are wondering what the words " Thank you for teaching me I promise myself"


"I promise myself" is the starting phrase of the Optimist Creed that I was teaching him.

古灵精怪的公主

算一算,公主已经两岁半了。最近发现公主越来越古灵精怪。

发现(一)
---------
这个星期,爸爸出了国。爸爸出国后的第一个早上,公主睡醒后看不到爸爸,便问我爸爸在哪里?我回答说爸爸出国了,过几天才回来。公主听后就哼起了一段儿歌。。。“爸爸不在家。。。我请客人先坐下再敬一杯milo”

发现(二)
---------

今天上弟子规, 老师讲到“孔融让梨”。说到孔融四岁就懂得长幼有序和兄友弟恭的道理。然后就叫了两位四岁的小朋友出来示范, 拿了两粒大小的梨子让他们选,让他们决定是要把大梨还是小梨让哥哥。两位小朋友都照孔融那样把大梨给了哥哥。

公主坐在自己的位子边看边说,“妹妹要拿大梨,妹妹长大了,拿大的”。我还没来得及向她解释,老师就说要位更小的朋友出来示范。接着就叫到家亨的名字, 叫家亨把妹妹带出来。Oopps!

公主有板有眼地走了出去,站在大家的前面。老师问一句,她回答一句。到了关键的那问题时,我的心差点要跳出来了!真不敢听下去。老师问“妹妹,要把哪粒梨给哥哥呢?”,说着举起双手的两粒梨。

公主从老师手中接过两粒梨把大的那粒递给哥哥。哥哥也很高兴地接过梨子。这时我才松了一口气。被公主耍了。。。

Our first appointment is done!

Today is our scheduled HDB first appointment date. It took us a whole 2 hours to get all paper work done. Can't really remember the procedure, it is just one paper signing after another.

"Owner 1, please sign here. Owner 2, sign here... sign here... sign here... sign here... sign here...here... here... sign here..." For a moment, I thought I turned into a document signing machine!

As we are doing contra for buying and selling our flat, all three parties (i.e. the couple buying our current flat + the gentleman selling the new flat to us + Kai Hock & I) need to be present for the contract to materialise. It is like a battalion moving from one counter to another. I must admit it was quite fun. :)

I like the young couple buying our current flat. In fact, they left a good impression with me the very first time we met. Nice people, I must say. Very friendly and warm. We are happy our current home will be in good hands.

Our current home has served us well for 10 years. Kai Hock and I spent 4 "honeymoon" years here before Jiaheng arrived. Then 3 years later, it welcomed its 4th occupant, Yixuan.

Every time I step into our home, I will feel secure and at ease. It is not just a shelter over our heads but it has shared 10 years of our life stories... like a good, loyal friend. I am going to miss it. *sentimental, sentimental*

Well having said that, I am also looking forward to moving into our new flat. It is a different experience altogether with new neighbours and new environment. But ... yes! I am looking forward to it. Especially when Jiaheng starts his Primary one next year. It will such a breeze to send him to and fro school as the school is just a stone throw away. :)

Not forgetting the nice gentleman who sold the house to us. He shared with me some family history of the house while we chatted at the HDB. So kind of him to leave me some of his fond memories.

At the end of the day, it is all these nice people you meet that makes this world a warmer and happier place to live in isn't it? And I am lucky to meet so many of them.
