The battle of the 2, I am not talking about fighting or arguing with each other. It’s FOOTBALL. They have a match together and both were very good at kicking, passing, defending (not sure what) and scoring. It is always good to bring them to the park and let them have some physical exercise. Definitely better than letting them watch TV all the time.

One good thing with traveling in SIA flights, they give nice toys to children. Every time I traveled I will ask them for it. Look what they gave Emily. The whole set of Power Puff.

If I knew, I would have asked on my going flight. Opps sorry for being greedy. I was too lazy to carry it all the way to US, so I only request at return flight. Thanks SIA for making my gal happy. They also gave a 50 piece Ben-10 jigsaw for Tim.

Of coz, there are other good things with SIA. Now I earn enough points for my family to go on a free trip near by.

I am back a few days ago from US. I touched down on Tuesday and went to work on Wednesday. I had a busy schedule all week and no time for anything. My body was slowly adjusting back to my Malaysia time zone.

I am sure you are interested what I bought back. Here is the big box of goodies I brought back. I cannot imagine that I shop so much. I think I should refrain myself from going to US again.

Here is what I got, don’t faint yeah.

Corelle Dinning Set:

Gift for my hubby, a remote control helicopter.

Transformers For Tim and Cinderella & SnowWhite for Emily. It was on sale.

Digital Photo Frame & Egg Clock

Mochi from Japan

Cherries, my favorite and it was real cheap – US9 for 1.35kg. I got 2 boxes, yummy.

Children Clothes

Others

Oh my, my hubby sends this to me today. He really did it again. He made the children wash their own school shoes. I am sure they enjoyed doing it. It is always better doing chores then watch TV at home. I remembered Emily love painting Tim’s shoes. Now she can do it on her shoe.

Well, another tip for you to get your children busy. Bravo honey, I got you a gift from US and I am sure you like it!

Travelling for me can be fun but tiring. Imagine, I have to work on 2 time zones before emails get piling up. Anyway, the only thing that I most look forward to (besides shopping) is calling my children. I love hearing their sweet voices.

I can either call them at 4pm (Penang 8am) or 3am (Penang 7pm). However I don’t like talking to them in the office because I cannot make funny sound in the office. It was fun talking to them. I did call them just now at 3pm in the office. It just makes my day.

Mummy: Did you miss mummy?
Tim: Yes. I want 2 transformers, the blue and the red one.
Mummy: Did you talk to your teacher.
Tim: Yes, softly. You got buy the transformers or not?
Mummy: I will. Have you been a good boy?
Tim: Yes.
Mummy: Did you fight with Emily?
Tim: No.
Mummy: You want jelly beans?
Tim: Yes.
Mummy: How many?
Tim: 10. *that’s easy*
Mummy: Ask Emily whether she wants any? *Emily just woken and doesn’t want to talk on the phone*
Tim: Emily, mummy asked you, you want jelly bean.
Emily: Yes.
Tim: How many?
Emily: One.
Tim: One only.
Mummy: Ask Emily to talk to mummy.
Emily: Mummy I want 1 jelly bean. *mood changes when it comes to sweets*
Mummy: I buy you 10.
Emily: I want Doremon and …and…and…
Mummy: I saw Cinderella, Snow White, Jasmine…
Emily: I want Cinderella. *change mind*
Emily: No no no…I want Snow White. *change mind again*
Mummy: Did you miss mummy?
Emily: Yes.
Mummy: Have you been a good girl?
Emily: Yes.

A lengthy conversation, coming from 2 children who seldom talk on the phone. I sure miss them very much. I cannot wait to go back and see them.

Look what my hubby did while I am away. He sure has a lot of creativity when it comes to dealing with children. I must say that I have full confident in leaving my 2 children with him.

He cooked pasta for them and gave the children a garden view lunch. It is cool because he didn’t have to clean the floor if the children make a mess. One reason why I like to have meals outdoor.

Let’s hope Tim & Em don’t bully him while I am gone.

Timothy: Mummy I want transformer. *cannot ask for Ultraman*
Mummy: I will try to get for you.
Timothy: I want the orange truck turn into a robot
Mummy: If there is one.
Timothy: I want 2.
Mummy: Why you need 2? 1 enough!
Timothy: I need 2 so that they can fight each other.
Mummy: But transformer can fight with your Ultraman.
Timothy: Cannot, not the same kind.
Mummy: *speechless*
Dad: Toys again!

Emily: I want I want…
Mummy: What you want?
Emily: Eh…eh….

Sorry if I am slow in reading your blog post or not leaving a comment. I am lagging behind, in fact I am a day behind. If you want to know where I am now, hope over to parkbay.net.

She made it to her first day of school without any tears. She woke up early in the morning, we brushed teeth and wash up together. As I was changing her uniform, she said she wants to go to aunty (babysitter) house. I can feel a little anxiety in her. However I distracted her with happy thoughts.

She was happy when my FIL came with his small car (like Mr. Bean) to fetch her and Tim up. Both of them sat in my FIL’s car. My hubby and I drove a separate car. We went for breakfast together.

I took Emily to the class. The school teachers were smart as they put some educational toys on the desk for the children to play. Emily wanted me to sit next to her but I told her I have to go to work. She wave goodbye to me and continue to play.

At noon, I asked her how was school, she giggles and asked me to buy papaya for her. :think: I am so proud of her and hope she will keep it up. She does have good and bad days.

Tomorrow will be the first day of school for Emily again. Yes again. Why again? I did send her to school when she was 2+ but due to her constant sickness (fever and runny nose). The preschool was small and had lots of children. Every day 1 or 2 child is sick. I decided to defer. Now she is ready.

She will be joining her brother in the new Tadika, half day school. My hubby and I prepared her for school. We took her to buy her favorite bag, her white school, socks, pencil case and color pencils. She got all excited and now everyday she been asking when will school start.

Last year, we took her to the Tim’s Tadika for parents’ teachers’ day. She went into the computer class and she likes the class. She also liked the school principal who is my church friend. The Tadika is run on church ground with fewer children. It has plenty of space for activities. It has a hall for assembly too.

Emily: Mummy today school day?
Mummy: No next Thursday
Emily: Mummy I want to go to school with kor kor and bring my Cinderella bag.
Mummy: Ok
Emily: Where is my school uniform?
Mummy: Later I iron the school uniform for you.
Emily: 😀

Tell me, are they growing up fast? It was like yesterday I gave birth to her and now she is preparing herself to school. Sigh.

It is New Year’s Eve. Happy New Year everyone, if I have not wish you yet. To kick into the New Year, I just bought another domain. I will be moving my personal gbay blog to parkbay.net. I hope to move most of the “P” post to my new domain and keep this site clean.
