Time to recharge ... Passion for puzzles

Once in a while, my battery goes flat & I have no desire to recharge myself.. just want to stay in bed alittle longer or simply watch my kids monkeying around. Maybe because I am always so occupied with the kids, housework & cooking, I allow myself to go to sleep mode when my parents or nainai are here :P

So, my system has been shut down for a good 3 weeks. Its time to recharge !!! Popo will be going home this Wed :(

BUT nainai will be visiting us on the 25th July !!!!

We are so blessed.

Anyway, 2 months ago we bought a 100pcs The World of Cars (disney & pixar) puzzle for Kieran, simply because he loved the packaging so much he didnt want to let go (we must be mad to let a 2.5yrs old fix a 100pcs puzzle !!! ).

The first few attempts, we helped him to sort out similar colours/background & he did the rest. It was a slow & tedious learning process for him but he never give up. This is how much he loves puzzles !

Now I am extremely proud to say Kieran is able to fix this puzzle all by himself :)

Earrings & cake

The 1st time Kayla pierced her ears was 8 months ago but due to mild infection, we had to remove her earrings. Last Thursday, she asked for her ears to be pierced again so we went to the pharmacy to enquire. She was calm but I was scared - cannot imagine having both ears pierced at the same time !!!


Hmmm.. I wonder where she inherited the vainity from ?

Little Graduates

Our little ones graduated from Kindermusik - Our Time - on the 20th Jun. Both of them have gained confidence over the 16 weeks course & they sang, danced & participated freely. They will have more musical fun when the new term starts in July !

Gong gong's birthday !

Celebrated gong gong's bday on the 15th June. It was daddy Richard's first day of exam too ! So while he was pulling out his hair at Macquerie Uni, we were happily shopping ha ha ha ! We had dinner at a Thai restaurant.. I dont think the food was great but the birthday man liked it.. so thats the most important.

Gong gong bought a number "5" candle to show he is STILL in his 50's !! Faint...

Manly Beach

Finally we visited the talked-about Manly Beach ! Tomorrow is gong gong's birthday so this trip was part of his bday celeration :) But the weather was bad - it was drizzling & so cold !!

Our 2nd trip to the Sydney Aquarium & definately more enjoyable/ worth the money because Kayla & Kieran were able to understand better now.

Our favourite - Underwater World

Kieran's favourite spot - Nemo & friends !!

At the park

Today is a public holiday & the weather was good so we brought the kids to the park, together with The Ngs & Jennifer's family. Our initial plan was to go Bicentennial park but it was so so crowded !! We ended up at the small park just behind our home.

Wall decals

I've always loved wall decals but I have never seen the actual thing - the really nice ones - most of the time the designs I fancy are from online shops but not sure about the quality though. Today, I was so excited to see a little stall selling them & bought this beautiful decal for the wall near our alter.

With the help of a very patient & artistic friend, we completed the art work in no time !
