SyuenSyuen's 5th Birthday

After much consideration, we decided to have a small celebration for our daughter together with all her cousins rather than with her friends. At first, I was thinking to throw a small birthday party at her kindergarten but afraid that it might be troublesome for the teachers and perhaps we will disturb their learning progress. Then, my hubby suggested that perhaps we could have a small party at home with just the 4 of us. In the end, we decided to celebrate it at eldest sister-in-law's house rather than our home. It is merrier and happier if she could celebrate her birthday with all her cousins. And yes, we made the right decision. A special thanks to eldest sister-in-law for preparing all the delicious foods!

This is her birthday cake, Tiramisu Cake from Secret Recipe.


Birthday song time, with both English and Mandarin version :)


Cake Cutting Time!


Everyone is happy!


Gift Opening at home, kinda late at night and both was sweating due to the playtime at sister-in-law's house.

SyuenSyuen is overjoyed to receive the gift from her cousins. And finally our gift for her, which she had been longing for, a Barbie Doll's Bedroom and Bathroom Set!

The Best Moment of the Day


I always enjoy looking at my loves one from behind, especially seeing my hubby sending my two little monkeys to school while listening to their conversation from behind. To me, it is always the BEST sight and the BEST moment of the day! With this, I'm sure that it is definitely a GOOD START of the day!

Though not every morning my hubby had the opportunity to send the kids to school as sometimes he had to outstation very early in the morning but I knew that he will make every effort that he could afford. I'm happy that he understood the importance of spending quality time with the kids.

Face Off

Recently, I found that Syuen is behaving unruly. Sometimes, I just felt that why couldn't she asked properly rather than making up a fuss. When teacher started to tell me about her behaviour at school, I knew that I have to do something about it. I could tolerant if she is not doing well in homework but I simply couldn't tolerant is she is behaving bad!

So, I guess that I need to put some effort on it. Yesterday, I taught her about types of emotions; happy, sad, angry and scared. This is what we need; two toilet roll (a big and a small). Cut a 20 cents coin circle on the big toilet roll.


Then, wrap both with a piece of white paper (here, I used recycled paper).


After that, paste a round cardboard (I used a harder material so that it can last longer) under the smaller toilet roll.


Put the smaller toilet roll into the bigger toilet roll.


Now, we can draw the pictures, shown as below. Letting Syuen to observe the difference beween the eyes, the eyebrow and the mouth when in different mood. Then, a little bit of tricky when I'm deciding on the character. In the end, I chose to draw a little girl (representing Syuen), a man (representing Syuen's dad or any adults) and an astronaut (representing even the man in SPACE or any kinds of people).



After observing the look, the real lesson started. We turned the faces to happy look. Then, I told Syuen that we all wanted to be happy; we looked great when we are happy; everyones LOVE happy people.


Sometimes, we will feel sad too. Some of us will express it by crying; some of us feeling sad but still strong enough to witheld the tears; some of us chose to be strong even though feeling down. We need to control our emotions.

Everyone is scared of something. We should understand this feeling and try our best to overcome it.



And finally, we had our angry faces. When we angry, we look ulgy. When we angry, we have to angry at the RIGHT PERSON, RIGHT TIME, RIGHT PLACE and RIGHT DEGREE!

老公奇怪的举动

像往常一样,每一晚我们都会陪伴女儿们观看她们最喜爱的电视节目,接着就会陪伴她们入眠。我们只好等到她们入眠后才能够观看电视剧,这时间也逐渐变成了我们的娱乐时间,抛下工作的话题,聊一聊剧中的情节,聊一聊一些人生观,哦!对了!还有吃一吃零食!


也许是累吧,好几次在陪伴女儿入眠时我不禁轻易地睡着了,留下老公独自一人观看电视节目。老公看着我熟睡的模样也不忍心叫我起床。但是,我还是会半梦半醒之间留意老公入眠的时间。


昨晚,在半梦半醒之间听到吉他声!原来是老公拿出放了好多年的吉他和乐谱,在客厅弹奏了起来。这不像是我的老公!平时的他应该在观看电视!问了他一句,“老公,你没事吧!” 老公回答说 “没事啊!” 虽然他说没事,但是他奇怪的举动不得不让我的脑海里呈现两个问号,他今晚特别开心?他面对想不通的问题?


作为他的妻子,我没有追问,只是让他有自己的空间,让他好好地思考他的问题。我能做的就是在他的精神上支持他,我拿了几本食谱,在客厅里翻页,静静地陪着他。男人和女人解决问题的方法大大不同。女人碰到问题时,会不停地向人诉苦,而在诉苦的当儿女人们已经有了解决方案。(备注:当妻子向丈夫诉苦时,身为丈夫的请记得做个好听众,可别发表意见因为在诉苦的当儿女人们已经有了解决方案。)男人碰到问题时,只是想静静地思考,而在无声无语的当儿男人们已经构思出各种的方案。(备注:当丈夫成膜寡言时, 身为妻子的不要急着追问,不要唠唠叨叨个不停,丈夫准备好了就会告诉妻子。)


能够接触老公的生意也了解到他面对的零零种种的问题和压力,让我更加了解老公待人处事的价值观,也让我学习到许许多多的事物。虽然,有时我们俩处理事物的观念很反差但我们都尽量寻找那灰色地带。不管是在事业或家庭事物上,我尽量做到最好,我只不过想减轻老公的负担,跟他共度每一个喜怒哀乐。这就是为什么直到如今我依然放弃做一位全职家庭主妇。


老公,当你遇到困难时,记得我和俩个宝贝都会在精神上支持你;当你遇到胜利时,记得回馈社会;当你遇到挫折时,记得回家因为我和女儿在家等着你回来噢!
