Swimming Lesson

After almost 3 months break, L is taking swimming lesson again. The class is much smaller, with 3 other friends. It was the same coach that has taught her for the past 1+ year. L was very happy and excited!

My friend has a 3 yr old boy too so we asked the coach to look for another coach (same timing as the girls)for our boys. He said it's ok for our boys to join in too but we don't like the idea as both boys are still young and don't know how to swim. We found out from him that the girls do go into the deep pool. How can I let my boy go there when he can't even swim? It will not be fair to the girls too. When I told him my concern, he said never mind, they can wear the arm floats *FAINT*. Think the coach just want to keep all the students to himself ( fees for the boys are higher too).

Before we leave the house, I told Z he will not be dipping in the pool and he seemed to understand then. But when we arrived, he asked for his swimsuit. He was angry with me when I told him I did not bring his swimsuit. He sulked for 15 mins, sitting right in front of the pool where jiejie was at. My friend asked why I don't I go into the pool with him. Well, mommy was lazy.... I just want to relax by the pool and not in the pool especially after preparing dinner and sending them here. After some time, I managed to coax him to have his dinner while waiting for jieijie.

Let's hope I can find a coach for him soon....

Want To Get A Pet?

A pet that doesn't need real food, water, shower or you to clear the poo poo!

Remembered I used to have a Tamagotchi many many years bk..... Now I got one for my girl (or for myself?). It is already 9 yrs old (everyday it will be a yr older) and her name is Wen ( L named her). The new version is different as it allows you to connect with your friends and collect gifts from internet. We yet to find any friend that has tamagotchi too. Hmmm.... Perhaps if L's friends' birthday coming, we will get that for them. Hehehe....

Just found out our Tamagotchi character is Hanatchi - This Tamagotchi has a remarkably large nose; he always seem to suffer from hay fever.

I have been helping L to take care of it when she is in class or when she misbehaves. Something that is for my girl & me only :) Daddy said that as if I have not enough in my hands, taking care of our family, a dog, a terrapin and now a game pet!

Beach

We are at the beach and we love it! Today was the day that I became Mrs in the eyes of the law ;;) We usually don''t exchange gift or celebrate on this day but on our customary date and last year, we forgot all about it till it''s over! Well... This year I was the one who remembered but not DH. :> This year is the 7th year!

We had dinner at Kenny Roger everything was great till Z broke a bottle of tobasco sauce. He had the sauce all over his slippers and we felt bad that we messed up the restaurant. Glad that he didn't hurt himself.

School holiday starts tomorrow and yet to plan anything for them. I remembered they still have their other classes so we may not be doing anything at all! Maybe a trip to the library will make them happy.....

Family Gathering

We had a great time at Ah Ma's place. We were there early so that LZ can play in the pool. We were lazy to get into the pool so 二伯 spent time with them. I was surprised that one of their 堂哥went in too. He seldom play with them as he is quiet.

The age gap between them are big. The eldest are already 20+ yrs old and just started in the workforce and the youngest is in P5. I wished that the gap could be smaller. I envy the cousins going out for movies or meals together. I told DH, by the time our babies are older, most of them would be dating or working and they will not be as close. Perhaps they will bring them out ;) I''m glad most of their cousins do make an effort to play with them but what abt few years down the road? :( (some of them are now in poly, JC, Uni) Think LZ will be very stress too.... I asked DH, why your nieces/nephew so smart huh? They are good in their studies and some even good in musical instruments too!

By the time LZ finished with water play, everyone was there, 大伯's family, 二伯's family, 四婶 and 大姑姑's family. LZ felt welcome there as the adults showered them with so much attention! When they finished their dinner, they played and watched TV with the rest, Scooby Doo. DH and me used to take turns to take care of them to have our meals but now they are not as "sticky". Good thing is that LZ do feel at home with them too.
