Each time when we go for outing, no matter just a normal restaurant or fancy restaurant or to the mall, both my SILs will dress themselves up like a peacock, donned in designer handbags, shoes, cloths as well as designer jewelry. JS is usually very fascinated with all the dressing up. She would join in SIL when they put on their make up, go through their accessories. She was telling me that one day she wants to wear all the nice cloths that SIL’s having, she’s also eying on SIL’s shoes too. I hope all these exposure won’t make her vain.

The 2 older kids are playing together and I overheard WH saying this

“This one MY mummy buy for me one. MY mummy ….”

He also asked JS

“YOUR daddy working 1/2 day today ah? YOUR daddy will…..”

It’s so funny the way he says it. They are playing nicely together, no rival, no tattling, the tone he used when saying the above is like a normal conversation tone.

Two decades ago, credit cards is almost unheard of. You want to buy /pay for something, you pay with real cash. Then slowly the credit card is introduced, but even by then, it’s only eligible for a certain group of people. The criteria in order for you to be eligible for a card application is that your monthly income has to be at a certain amount. Slowly the minimum requirement has been lowered a lot. Even fresh graduates from uni can apply for credit cards. I still remember years ago, there’s this card from the bank that is specially targeting the fresh graduates market. Now, as long as you have a monthly income of minimum 1.5K you are eligible for a card.

The number of credit card holders in Malaysia has risen over the years. Almost a decade ago, it has risen 16.9% in just two years (in year 2000) , now 8 years later, the credit card holders is even more. Banks are very competitive with their card business to lure in more consumers. They have balance transfer credit cards and the most welcoming one is no annual fee credit cards.

Having a credit card is just so convenient and with all the attractive promotions by the cards provider, it’s even more tempting for one to sign up for a card.

When planning to do up the new house, often we only think about the interior, getting designer to draw up plans and shop for luxurious item to make the house feel more aesthetic. However, we often forgotten the exterior, like landscaping, the tiles on the porch as well as mailboxes. In fact almost no one will give a look about their mailboxes, they are often happy with what comes from the developer, some even bought those very cheap red color plastic mailbox from the mall and attached it to the wired fence.

A cool , nice stylist mailbox can enhance the look of your house. It’s no doubt about that. It gave your house a unique look in the neighborhood, and I’m sure the postman won’t miss your letter by posting it to the wrong mailbox.

Check out Seattle Luxe if you are looking for mailboxes . They offer a variety of mailboxes for residential as well as commercial applications, you can even order custom mailbox from them.

Received this in the mail today

4 sticks of anti perspirant and deodorant from the US. Buatan US le…don’t play play, not made in Thailand or made in Indonesia or Made in China. Anyway…wonder how long it takes my man to finish using them. Perhas should distribute them to my dad and bro.

Thanks to the Rookie , m80 and BDMM, I got this because of this.

My sleep pattern is a little hay wired lately. JL needs be to nap with her so I don’t really get a chance to work in front of the PC in the afternoon while all the children are sleeping, I sleep along with them too only later in the night, I creep out of my warm bed at about 12 - 1a.m and stay glue to the laptop till about 2 -3 and I have to wake up at 6.30a.m the morning. Though I still get my nap, but most of the day I still feel extremely sleepy and pimples is popping up on my face due to no proper rest. Looks like I need acne treatments badly. Hopefully I can sneak out a couple of hour this month end to go for a facial again.

It’s mid May now, Mother’s Day just over and fast approaching is Father’s Day. Now after I have bought something for mum, it’s time to think of what to get for dad. I reckon if I were to order something unique and especially from the net, I should do it earlier so that it could arrive on time. Checking out briefcase for him, I think will be nice gift for him to book his books and exam papers, instead of using clear files and carry by hand. The Zero Halliburton briefcase seems nice.

I’m too busy to keep track with all the events and occasion. Yesterday when I went to pick WH from school, he told me that tomorrow (as at today) is Teacher’s day. I need reconfirmation as sometimes he could pass the wrong info, but I couldn’t cross checked with JS as she’s away and won’t be back much later.

When I went to pick her up at 4p.m, and asked her about it, she said yes, Friday it’s Teacher’s Day. Well, out of such short notice, there’s no time for me to prepare anything or go shopping for gifts. JS was already very tired after the trip. They wanted to do something for the teacher, of all the craft ideas that I could think off such short notice is a card. I told JS she need to rest first and if we have time then we will do it much later in the evening.

We started our craft session at about 7p.m, stopped for dinner a while and continue after that. The house was in a mess where I dug out all the constructive papers, cardboards, markers etc etc. It wasn’t an easy feat as baby is usually attached to me (like a super glue) at that hour and WH also wanted to do the SAME as his sister.

In a hurry, we did these cards

This is for her class teacher.

This one for the teacher who taught her maths after school.

This is WH’s work

Since he still can’t write and draw, I have actually wanted him to trace the alphabets that I have written, but gave up after the first try, it’s taking up too much time, so we cut alphabets from old magazine instead to form the greetings.

They happily presented the cards to their teachers this morning. Just a simple gesture, I saw other students buying gifts and flowers for the teachers.

Sometimes I do wonder if the teachers keep all these, it’s fun for the kids, but it might be junk to the teachers (from my parents experience, they have loads of gifts from students which they do not use, I say they can open a gift stores already). I do wonder what’s the best gift for teachers.

Anway.. to all teachers out there

HAPPY TEACHER’S DAY!

The children came back earlier than expected. The school called up to say that they have reached at 3.45p.m and that I were to pick JS up from school. The initial plan was that they come back by 4.30 - 5p.m.

Rush to pick JS under the scorching hot sun, waking the 2 younger children from the nap.

JS was tired but still very excited about the trip and talk enthusiastically about it. The first stop was at Faber Castell in Shah Alam. She said she enjoy it there very much, as she get to do some coloring there, saw the biggest and smallest pencil etc. I think they spent longer hours there than the 2 other places.

They had lunch at McD. When I asked which McD, she can’t tell which McD they have gone to. After that was to Beryl’s Chocolate factory. She said it was lousy as she didn’t really get to see how chocolate is made and they only spent so little time there. She was quite disappointed with the visit to Beryl’s.  She didn’t talk about the visit as much as to Faber Castell.

Some complementary chocolates were given to the kids, but JS bought more chocolate. I have told her that it’s not necessary for her to spent, but at the end, she still bought 2 boxes of chocolate, left only RM2.20 from the RM10 I gave her. She told me she actually wanted to buy stationaries from Faber Castell, but there are not selling anything that’s why she bought the chocolate. Luckily never gave her more money, else she would have spent all. She still doesn’t quite know how to handle money yet.

By the way, while JS was talking enthusiastically about the trip, WH was really fascinated with her stories and listen to her attentively. He said “I want to be like jie jie too” “I also want to go Faber Castell and chocolate factory” . Now he looks up to jie jie alot and wants everything to be like jiejie.
