Proud of my Baby

When I got home yesterday, Big C ran towards me excitedly with a piece of paper on her right hand. 

"MaMa, Look! I am learning to write my Chinese Name." Big C said proudly.

"MaMa, look, this one is not nice, so I write another one." Big C continued pointing another piece of paper on her little desk.

I didn't take a picture of the other so-called not-nice-one, to me, both look VERY well done!

I am so so so proud of my baby, even though she didn't write it PERFECTLY, I am already very impressed. At least, she can imitate stroke by stroke and recognize "Yes, This is my chinese name" Soon, she will not need sample and start writing her own chinese name fluently.

BABY, EXCELLENT WORK!! 

Learning to Write my Chinese Name

I have been taking for granted that the school will teach my girl to write her own name at the least. Of course, Big C can spell her own name and write them down confidently. But when it comes to CHINESE NAME, haha...I just realized that it is time for MaMa to do something about it MYSELF instead of relying on what the school can provide. 

*phew* At least, Big C managed to COPY her name by the strokes I had laid out for her. I believe with a few more practices, my darling Big C will definitely MASTER it. I know it is not a big deal among her peers, many should have known how to write their names at this age. It's definitely my bad for not introducing it earlier. Well, nothing is ever late as long as we want to do it. The matter of fact, WE ARE NOT LATE! The learning process has just kicked off steadily, and we will be able to master it in no time.

Not too bad at all for the first time~~! I am proud of my baby!

I didn't really insist Little C to follow the strokes exactly since I was trying to concentrate on JieJie's strokes. But, this is what Little C did on her own. Traced every single step beautifully, even though the order of the strokes might be out. Well Done, baby! We can do it again and again and again. You will be as good as Jie Jie soon. 

Big C's Last Day of School - Children's Day!

15th November 2013, Big C's last day of school.

Dressing up to have a Children's Day Party in school.

Big C's Class Teacher. Ms. S.K.

Too bad, many were late that day, these were the few around.

BaoBei - Sakae Sushi Event

Organizer : Bao Bei Reading Wonderland

Location : Sakae Sushi, One Utama

Date & Time : 16th November 2013, 9:30am - 12 noon

Our morning did not start well, but let's not mention something that is not worth remembering here. 

Luckily we cheerful 3Cs managed to bring back our mood to participate the Sushi Making Project.

Happy faces ready to "make sushi"

This set was "made" by Little C, and MaMa was the "Assistant" 

That's why it looked better than Big C's.  Hahaha...

This set was made by Big C with a helper. At least, Big C used her own hands to put things up on her own! *Bravo!* Look so pretty!

There was a Sakae Frog Mascot! My girls were playing the usual MOUSIES attitude, refused to even go near the mascot! While others were fighting to snap a photo with the FROG, Cs were actually very happy with the BaoBei banner at the other corner. Hahahaha ... 

Not so much of sushi making, we were there just for the participation.

RM30.00 for children, RM50.00 for adult is definitely not so worth it.

The sushi making was not really interesting, and the food served were not fresh. I am so sorry to complain here. Sakae Sushi just not my type of sushi.

It was stated 9:30am - 12noon in the circular. But, the event did not start until 10:30am, and everything was over before 11:30am. None of us ate much as it was all cold and hard, no sushi was served, it was a bento set with fried chicken which were hard and cold, the fish cakes were cold too and tasted funny. The rice were also cold and overly SWEET! :( Big Disappointment! 

Luckily, again, we three cheerful Cs went home happily, considering it a 

family ACTIVITY!

Our Christmas Tree is Dressed!

Going to be away from home for a Winter Holiday! :)

I thought it's better to put up the Christmas Tree before we leave, so ta da... 

Big C was so excited when I told her that we are going to dress the christmas tree. Unfortunately, Little C was sleeping and didn't get to join us for the fun. :(

Big C did a marvelous job even though she broke a few of the balls, in fact, MaMa broke One too. Hehehe..Many of these balls are history and the glue dried up that the cap couldn't hold the pretty ball any longer. Well, just a few, that's all right. :) 

Also, Big C insisted us to play some christmas songs while dressing up the tree. She was totally mesmerized with the christmas atmosphere, and she actually hummed some cheerful christmas song while putting up the pretty ornaments. 

I didn't expect Big C to stay through the whole job, in fact, I expected her to just join in to "PLAY" for a little while, that's why there was no intention to wait for Little C for the Tree Dressing. Big C enjoyed the job and proudly announced to all that "Look, I put up a nice christmas tree!" 

Next year onwards, I will make sure we 3Cs will work together to make the prettiest Christmas every year. 

Making a tree dressing a compulsory event for three of us!!

What Big C did on Sunday

It's the last week of school this week, and MaMa prepared some little gifts for Big C's friends in school. Thanks to Grandma, She suggested to get Big C to make personalized cards to her friends. These are what we did yesterday. So much fun playing with stamps & stickers.

We are lucky because we have a beautiful Grandma

Dear Grandma,

We want to tell you that we are so lucky to have you. You are always so fierce, oppsie, no no no, so nice to us. You cook for us, you play with us, you bring us out for food, you buy us lots of toys, you sleep with us when MaMa's out, you bom bom (bathe) us when we asked for it, you read to us, you watch Disney movies with us, you sing to us and endlessly providing your true love & hugs.  

We love you and you love us! 

With lots of Hugs,

Big C & Little C

Dessert Time with GrandMa @ Dome. 4 Nov 2013

We love to have Grandma read us Bedtime story!

We are so lucky to have a beautiful & lovely Grandma.

Kuala Lumpur Tower on 3rd Nov 2013

Always wanted to bring the girls to KL Tower, but it just didn't strike a good timing for a visit. Then, one fine day, this Groupon email popped up and the first deal shown was "Buffet at KLTower Revolving Restaurant @ RM88.00/pax (below 5 children are FOC)". So, here we are! ALL OF US didn't have much expectation on the buffet (and you shouldn't too! Lol), but we truly enjoyed the time spent together with the children at 253m height! They were fascinated with the view and of course the revolving platform. It's totally a new experience for the girls, jumping in and out of the platform, and fiercelessly leaning against the thick glass window, trying to locate where is "our home", while the adults having difficulty to adapt the height & the revolving platform which is making us dizzy. *sigh* Can't escape the fate of AGING! Yes! You and Me! :P 

I brought my nikon along, but is always not easy to download these photos, their file size is way too big and taking ages to transfer. Hehehe...Lazy! But again, I will try...I know I know...already tonnes of backlogs. Hahaha....

I stole this pictures from my BFF. :P Thank you! 

Royal Bintang Kid Zone

RM20 for non-hotel guests, Below 6 years only.

Roya Bintang, Kota Damansara.

It's next to the ice-skating rink, so it's very cold there. Please bring extra clothes for your kids if you intend to bring them there.

It's a very simple play area with a role play set up!

A night out for a Coffee & Dessert Treat

Probably we had stayed home for the whole day and didn't do much for a peaceful sunday. Grandma, MaMa, Ah Yi & 2Cs decided to step out of the house and go for a cup of Latte & some Desserts!

Our first choice was ACME Bar cause I thought the coffee is quite good, unfortunately the COFFEE Machine was out of order. So, we headed straight to Publika Namoo Korean Dessert Cafe.

MaMa had Korean Classic Coffee (similar to Latte but stronger), Cs had Babycino (Similar to Hot Chocolate, A Slice of Red Velvet & A Slice of Sweet Potato Cake to share among us. Ah Yi had a pot of Tea & Grandma had Americano. The girls love the Babycino, it's so chocolaty! It's basically chocolate sauce texture-like under the foam. It's a small little cuppy, so it's still alright.

The cakes were both NOT sweet which is a good thing for us. Red Velvet topped with the Strawberry sauce makes it a little sweeter, hmmm, not the best Red Velvet I have tasted. The sweet potato cake is simply really Sweet potato mash, hmm..., it's their chef's recommended dish but it's not our kind of cake too. Hahaha...would i recommend there for dessert? Not really. 

But, we are interested to make a trip there again for their dinner. The menu looks quite attractive. :)

Look what we found at Ben's! 

These photo were taken in the morning at the Dim Sum Place.

Cs' Sunday Activities

Time flies in the speed of light? or faster? Tomorrow is Monday again, Back to School for Cs, and Back to Work for Me!

Cs and I spent our Sunday at home and a Ballet Lesson at 3pm. 

My Sunday started with a lovely greeting in the morning from my darlings Cs. While three of us were still lazing on bed at 9am, Big C turned to me and greeted me Good Morning with a GREAT BIG SMILE, squinting eyes. Little C heard JieJie's greeting, and quickly sprinted up from her sleep, looked around in search of MaMa and JieJie. Hahaha, we were actually still on bed and her vision gazed directly out of the door and not on bed. Silly girls! Little C cried for JieJie (*yeah, not for MaMa*) 

"Where is JieJie?" Big C cried to herself. 

JieJie and MaMa moved ourself to give Little C a GREAT BIG HUG from behind. Hahaha....

"Good Morning, Baby." MaMa said to Little C

"Good Morning, Baby." Big C repeated after MaMa

The girls went straight down for the morning milk while MaMa went to get freshened up.

We started with a painting which I had promised them two weeks ago. Finally, we get to do it today. Well Done, girls.

Painting done by my Cs.

Of course, I did the touching in order to pass my eyes.

Big C did all parts, MaMa touched up the bottom part with little flowers and darker greens. MaMa also helped to touched up on the eye of the Toucan.

Compared to the previous paintings, she has improved a little, she did not rush through the painting, and she took her time to fill up the space slowly.

As for Little C, she's still young for painting. Hahaha.... 

She managed to complete the painting anyhow. 

I never excel in my ART, so my touchup SKILL is limited to just THIS!

Lol, please pardon me.

We had our special request - Fried Mee Hoon with Tau Keh - as lunch. This is a special request from Big C, and Grandma made us a simply and yummy lunch. Fried Mee Hoon and Red Bean Soup for our lunch. Light, Simply and homely.

After lunch, I helped out Cs' with their Eyelevel homeworks. Finally, my girls know what homework is. Eyelevel will give each of them 2 workbooks to complete as their homework before their next lesson commence. So, I have to guide them through, otherwise teacher will see scribbles and dirty messy workbooks at the end of the day. Hahaha...

Cs refused to have nap, but anyhow it was too late for nap by then. Cs have Ballet Lesson at 3pm and we have to leave home by 2:30pm.

We arrived home by 4pm after Cs' Ballet Lesson. Cs went straight to have a bath, and they played on their own while MaMa went to take a short nap.

Then, we had a beautiful dinner prepared by Grandma again. We had Fish Head Soup, Stir-fried chives, carrots with prawn, sweet tomato prawns, fried salmon fillet, every dish guaranteed a mouth-watering sensation!!! 

Cs and MaMa had a around of puzzle right after dinner as requested by Cs in the afternoon. Babies, Mama is so proud of you girls. Big C managed the 150pcs of Aerial puzzle on her own in about 1 hour. Little C did not finish all THREE of them, she managed the 24pcs on her own, the 48pcs with MaMa's help, and she only found less than 10pcs while the rest was done by MaMa. Little C was about the dozed off right after the 48pcs, maybe she skipped her nap. 

Yeah, Cs' reward is SAKURA GREENTEA KITKAT!!!!

Big C says....

"MaMa, JieJie cry for MaMa just now." Little C made little report to MaMa.

"Oh dear, JieJie, why are you always crying for MaMa?" MaMa asked, sulking at my darling Big C

"MaMa, I cry for MaMa because I love MaMa very much!" Big C retorted, with the eyes gazing straight to mine. 

Awwww........ what a heart-melting moment..... ahhhh....... 

Mickey's Magic Show at Planetary Hall, KLCC

First of all, I must thank you for your sponsor of tickets.

Hope when you are free, we can all go together for a show, NEXT TIME.

Cs, GrandMa & MaMa all set off for a Magical Night with Mickey 

on the 18-oct-2013. 

(*Oh, It's also Ah Gong's Birthday, but he's in China now for exhibition*)

Planetary Hall has a pretty good set up for seatings. At any seats, there is a promise of view of the stage, which is marvelous. Why I have to mentioned this because our seats were position quite to the left from the stage. But, everyone of us gets a clear view, so it's ok!

This is the BEST shot I can get in a dimly lit hall.

 Our beautiful Grandma and Cs were getting excited for the show.

"MaMa, Mickey Mouse Show starts soon?" Cs asked, not once, numerous times.

Merchandise, Merchandise, Merchandise.

Who would missed the opportunity for more business? 

Outside the hall, crowded with families with children, 

crying "I want this! No, I want this!"  

Look at my girls, they were also enchanting by the spell of Disney Princesses, lingered at the stall for a long time, 

but MaMa said "No" to the so-so Figurines and Dolls.

First of all, Yes, I might be stingy, but they have gotten the princesses barbie dolls at home, which were not "maintained" in good condition. Secondly, the figurine won't do much good to them, it's only for admiring purpose, and my girls have enough princesses' admiration items at home. So enough. For a remembrance, I don't mind to pay for a MUG, a BUCKET, or a T-SHIRT which can be utilized every day! I offered to buy them T-shirt but there were only Mickey Mouse T-shirt which was not so attractive to them and they rejected my offer. They kept on looking at the princesses, "MaMa, I want this!". Cs had no choice after my many "No"s and succumbed to a Minnie Mouse Mug, which is pretty & useful! Cs agree too! Don't you? 

Ta Da... Cs' pretty & Useful Minnie Mouse Mug in PINK, and they come with a multipurpose STRAW (can be used as a stirrer or even a spoon!) Isn't it Wonderful??????? Lol! Shiok-Sendiri here!

Look! Look! Look! I can use it for mixed fruits CUBE & I can use it for mixed fruit JUICE. I can even use it for a warm cereal and any other sorts of drinks.

One Set @ RM30

There were no banners, no characters set up for photo shoot.

There was only ONE photo booth which you can get ONE printed photo in a Mickey Mouse envelope @ RM40 or in a Mickey Mouse Paper Frame @ RM65.

Big C wanted to take a photo with Mickey Mouse, and RM40 is my only way to say hi to a FIGURINE-ONLY Mickey Mouse!

Please do not misunderstood! The above contains not a single discontentment of the presenter or organizers. 

I was just being matter-of-fact, recording MY personal point of view. :P

Coming back to the Magic Show! It was indeed a Fabulous show.

It introduces the element of MAGIC to the children, furthermore, it allows endless interactive opportunity to all audience. It's a NOISY show, you will hear children screaming in replying the performers'. We saw many courages hand lifted upon the air when volunteer was asked on stage. WOW! 

Mmmm..I said many and that did not include my girls. Hahaha... They are just like MaMa, shy, subtle, quiet, we choose to sit back and observe. SO, How could I force them to be someone whom they are not, maybe they are just NOT READY yet! :P I don't have to you, girls, you will know it when you raise your hand one day!

Maybe, just put in another words, we are playing one part of the life equilibrium, our existence to distinguish the differences of characters and personalities. Hahahaha..... Gila-Me in the mood of nonsense.  

Some Snap shots of the show. Again, with low lighting and speedy movement on stage, it was an impossible mission to steal any good shots.

 There was one part which I did not manage to steal a shot was the Snow White section, when the witch offered poison apple to Snow White. Hahaha..

My silly little Mousie (Big C), were frightened and titled her head MOST of the time for the second half of the show. She told me that she was afraid of the witch who occurred in the first part of the show. She tilted her head so that she could block her vision immediately when the witch appeared again. But after the show had finished, another version of explanation for her tilted head.

"MaMa, I'm not scared of the Magic Show" Little C announced proudly

"MaMa, Me too! I'm not scared already. I like the Magic Show" Big C said contentedly.

"BUT, you were hiding most of the times, and you said you were scared!" MaMa argued in a teasing way, OF COURSE with my MOST sunshine SMILE!

"NO! MaMa! I not scared of Mickey Mouse Show! I just want to sleep. I am tired. I want to oi oi! I rest my head only because I want to oi oi. I like the show!" Big C retorted!

Hahahaha..... Big C ah Big C, My cute little Big C!
