Time Flies

Ok, it's such a clique title right?

We all say this. However, I just discovered that the last time I made an entry here was 5 months ago?!?

A little quick update :-

School has started and restarted again. The kids just have had their week of vacation and is back in school this week. They'll enjoy a day of public holiday this Thursday, being the Phophet Mohammad's birthday. We don't celebrate Good Friday here though.

Well, we plan to spend a little time at the cinema and catch the movie 'Horton Hears a Who'. We all love Dr. Suess' stories. And definitely looking forward to watching this.

Home front, we all have been really busy. For the readers who don't live in Asia, you'll be alarmed at the way we spend spare time with the kids. Yes, we ferry them around for enrichment classes after enrichment classes. Enrichment meaning... more academic pursuits. In our case, it's mandarin & maths. Not that I'm a typical don't-want-to-lose kinda mummy, if I will, I rather spend the money on dancing and art classes for them. Expose them to the artistic side of themselves, rather than just pursuing more academic studies. Sad to say, they have to 'play catch-up' with the school syllabus. However, I'm so looking forward to next year, because after a gruelling one year (this year that is), I hope they got the rhythm of what they have learnt this year and apply in their studies (keeping my fingers so knotted up for this). I mean, I want them to have a carefree childhood. Not a mummy who breathes down their neck and constantly at their back asking them if they have finished their school-homework. Their enrichment classes work and yada yada yada. I feel instantly old just having to remind them all the time. We all don't deserve this, I say!

Oops, I gotta wash my coffee cup.. ants are having a field day there .. that's another problem living in a house.. besides the rodents having fun just right outside our house.... did I mention we had many of them visiting us some time last year till we plug the drain hole in the bathroom.... now that's another story for another day... coffee cup here I come.
