Today when Tim came home, he told us that he was called to teacher’s office. Actually it was a counseling office. It is kind of funny and you will never guess why he was called.

He was called because he had runny nose. It was due to allergy which he can get very often. I believed he sneezed in class many times. Teachers were being paranoid, not the first time. They want to be sure that he is not having H1N1, my guess.

Tim was actually quarantine in the counseling office. Mind you, he has no fever or flu, just runny nose. Well he didn’t travel abroad and most of the time, he is at nanny’s place. Tim told me that the teacher check his temperature and body. He was not allowed to return to class.

He came back and complained that he couldn’t do his spelling. My jaw dropped because any student would want to escape from spelling test. By the way, his spelling improved so much ever since he started primary school. He used to get chicken egg for spelling in kindy. Now he gets chicken egg with a stick in front.

Now I don’t know whether to send him to school or stay at home with me tomorrow.

Timothy likes to be called Darling and Emily likes to be called Honey. If ever I called Emily, Darling. She would say “I am Honey, kor kor is Darling”. Same answers from Tim.

Tim has funny ways of calling me and my hubby. Here are some ways.

Tim: Mr. Mummy
Tim: M.U.M.M.Y *literally spell it out*
Tim: P.A.P.A

On another topic, here is the Ms Bossy Emily…
Emily: Where did you buy this?

Mummy: In Giant.

Emily: When did you go Giant?

Mummy: Today, during lunch.

Emily: You suppose to go to work, why did you go Giant. You say you go to work, go to office lah. You are not supposed to go to Giant. You didn’t go to work, no money to buy toys for me.

Maybe she was a little upset, I went to Giant without her. :giggles:

Emily and I got a birthday treat from Golden Screen Cinema. Let me know if you want to get free ticket for your birthday. We watched Monsters vs Aliens. I love the humor and it was hilarious. I like the blob monster called B.O.B. I wished I can be as blur as him especially in the workplace, maybe I will be happier.

The story is about a gal named Susan who was about to get married and on her wedding day she turned into a giant after she was hit by a radiated meteor. As usual the government captured her and put her in isolation. She got to know other funny monsters. Hey most of their monster characters are so much like Ben 10 alien grey matter, ripjaw and vilgax.

Earth was invaded by alien because the squid like alien wanted to get the powerful substance in Susan. The alien wanted to rule the earth. So you have Monsters Vs Aliens. Watch it to find out more. I am not sure whether my children enjoyed it but I did. It is worth going.

B.O.B is so funny. I like the part where he literally wanted to throw the cars out of the bridge when Susan asked him to get the cars out of the bridge to save the people. How he fell in love with the Jelly.

Anyone can send me 3 Abbott Scoops? It is greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Emily wanted a scooter for her birthday. She requested it early in the year. On the day before her birthday, we went to a bicycle shop to get it for her. It is cheaper in the bicycle shop than departmental store or Toysrus. Timothy saw one that he likes. Well, how can I resist not buying for him? Both of them were happy and wanted to go round the front porch. I had to park the car outside my house.

I am glad Penang has a very nice Youth park with a cycling or roller skate or jogging rink. Both Emily and Tim with their cousin went scooter-ing around many times.

There is also a pebbles reflexology path. A teenage boy was approaching the pebble path and he was teaching his girl friend how to walk on it. He sounded very macho and spoke as if he is a pro on walking on pebbles. After he walked on it, I could see him jumping up and down, screaming due to pain. His girlfriend walked a few rounds. He walked halfway and he took the side walk instead. In Cantonese, we would call him “Tai Jeak Koong”

I tried it myself but only can complete one small round. The trick I learn is to take deep breath on every step. I saw a big size foreigner, he walked like he was walking on flat ground. My hubby said he probably have thick skin.

Lastly, aren’t these tees lovely?

My mom took our family to Genting for 2D/1N. Everything is paid for, even food and hotel. It shows how much she goes up there. My children had a great time up there and boy I am tired. My body muscles are aching, maybe due to a lot of walking.

Finally Tim and Emily got to ride the Genting cable car. It was closed the last time we went. They were happy and I was scared, height phobia. One of Emily favorite ride is Ride De Paris. Actually she was a little over height but no one bother. She went on it so many rounds and I think she almost sat on every different vehicle there are. Oh well, this may be the final round for her. Next year, I think the attendant will not allowed her to go in due to height.

We checked in to Resort World Hotel and we got a nice view. The rooms are very clean and spacious. Check in was fast although there was a big crowd due to school holidays. We got our rooms instantly.

We also went to Snow World. That’s the place where my children have the most fun. They always watched snow but never experience it. Many times, they told me to bring them to snow places. Ha! Snow World is the cheapest snow places. RM54 only! Emily wanted to build a snow man but after digging for a while, she got tired. I was surprised that both of them didn’t felt discomfort in there. Probably they had too much excitement to feel the cold. My feet were in pain because the boot they gave me had a hole. Ice went in and I can feel my feet freezing. I had to get out a feel times. A tip if you are going in there, were thick socks and snickers.

My mom wanted to dine at Imperial Rama and the place was fully booked. We changed plan to have lunch instead. Finally, I got to eat this:

As for KL, we spent almost half of the day in PetroSains. We were traveling on the Kommuter train, Emily was talking about PetroSains so loud that an elderly malay lady overheard. She was bringing her grandson out and asked us what PetroSains is all about. Later she decided to bring her grandson there too. It was really jam pack in PetroSains and we only can get in at 1:30pm. We got out at about 4pm. It is a mega education playground for my children.

It was a short 4 days trip and my children had a great time. Tomorrow it a school re-open, that’s the end of the mid term holiday.

A very interesting conversation, Emily & I had…

Emily: Can I wear your glasses?
Mummy: My glasses are for short sightedness. Your eyes are long sighted.
Emily: How come you are tall but you wear short glasses. I am short and I wear long glasses?
Mummy: Speechless…

Few weeks ago, Queensbay Mall had an exhibition on Transformer games, alluring both parents and children. Emily got an opportunity to play the PS2. Believe me she never played any PS2 games before. She could maneuver Bumblebee very well and did some serious fighting with the Decepticon. She could pick up objects to throw and climb buildings to avoid enemies. I am amazed on how she learns to do that.

Yes, Emily and I share the same birthday. Coincident? No. I chose to have c-sect on my birthday. Scary thought. If anything happen, I probably live and die on my birthday. Of coz, the happiest thing was to be presented with the best gift for my birthday was a baby gal called Emily.

Another advantage is that Emily will always remember my birthday, Tim & hubby will only need to remember 1 extra birthday and I will never forget Emily’s birthday.

My family birthdays are the easiest to remember because it has a pattern.

14.03
04.06
24.12

Pattern: 04, 14, 24 and 03, 06, 12

Well, now you know why I stop production? It doesn’t fit the pattern. What a great excuse! :giggles:

From Britain’s Got Talent 2009 Winner:

Today, I was in a virtual meeting with my manager. As I was going through the progress of my projects, I felt something missing from my finger. The fourth finger on my left hand was naked. I had to put my manager on hold, yes asking him politely to give me a minute.

I looked around for my wedding ring. Yes it is missing. Not on my finger, not on my chair, not on my table and nowhere to be found. Trust me, I never take my wedding ring out of my finger even when I bath or sleep. There goes my mood and I had to continue my meeting but my mind was going through where I could have lost it.

Finally after the meeting, I knew where it was. During lunch time, I was at home playing a game on my iPhone. I was at the final level of the game and my fingers were cramping. I was flinging my fingers to release tension. However, I didn’t felt my ring came out. Half way through the game, I heard some metal drop. I was too preoccupied with the game and I didn’t bother what it was. At that moment, I thought it must be something from the shelf.

After my work, I went back to search my study room. Funny it was not at the area where I was sitting. Fortunately my study room is not that big. I found it behind my router, 1 meter away from my sitting position. Thank goodness. It was nice to know after telling my hubby that I lost my ring, he offered to buy me a new one. 😛
