Heart Pain

Evan's swim lesson was extented to 1 hr 45 min today... how tiring is tat for a 6 year old to swim non stop...

Well he was not doing his strokes properly, He was doing free style with hands while doing breast stroke kicking.. how complicated.. how many people can do that coordination actually? Maybe he was so comfortable with breast stroke that's why he can't coordinate properly with the new style.  The coach had to resort to tying his legs with a band while he swim...

I was hoping and hoping that the lesson will end FAST,... though this is not the first time he had punishment during lesson but I was really comtemplating to request coach to release him... His tears, his legs tied up and his tiredness makes my heart pain...

Sun Sand Sentosa

We were at Sentosa on Sunny Sunday!!! It started to rain in the morning and looks like it is going to destroy our outing to Sentosa... After lunch, we decided to take the chance and go ahead....

Ths SUN was there to welcome us!!! We have not been there for a long time.. the IR really bring in the crowd but luckily the beach was not crowded.... We did not stay long at the beach, we chose to walk around the island....

 Mummy did not bring any sand toys so they make do with the slurpee cup and lid.... fun for kids can be so simple...

They make my day :)

One of the best things they can do to make my day is to complete their daily homework on their own without my help and nagging :)

Usually Evan only need my help with the Chinese work... He is a very competitive boy and he wants me to start practicing his spelling and ting xie earlier!! This makes me very proud of him...

Claudia's homework is usually colouring or tracing... It is very easy for her but the result of it depends on her mood... Sometimes it will be nicely done but sometimes it will be super messy...

My son is growing up !!! He is graduating from kindergarten and going on the next stage of his life in a few months time.

Ready, get set, GO

We went for our 2nd run, POSB Run for Kids on 19 Sep... I think the 1st one was sometime earlier this year but that was just a 200m dash so can''t really remember it...

I am proud that both of them can complete the 1.2km run without much stopping!!! Mummy was all ready to carry Claudia halfway through the run but she was determined to finish it.... She even complained Mummy run too slow!!!! Great job kids!!!

Claudia's concert

Claudia's school had their year-end concert for Nursery on 25 Sept 10.... Oh she was super excited... Mummy was a little late and she cried when we arrived because all her friends were ready with their make-up... oops...

Luckily she was all settled down when it's time to perform!!!

I can't believe my gal is only 3.5 years old!!! She is tall and mature for her age....

Voom voom

Mummy have 2 tickets to F1 race today so decided to bring Evan along for the experience.

That is LIFE :)

This is how we spent our 6 days in Perth.... Summary : Rest and Relax... This is real life, if only it can happen everyday :)

Enjoying the sand just outside our cottage.... enjoying the chilly sea breeze at the many beaches along the way....

Having fun at the playgrounds available everywhere all day long....

Do some exercise without getting sweaty.... :)

Not forgetting our daily duty on the farm

Salute Evan!!

This post is specially dedicated to my brave and strong Evan!!!

The 2nd place we stayed was a hotel with a swimming pool... It was only 10 degrees so can you imagine how cold is the water in the pool?? To Mummy it was icy cold!!! My boy just jumped in and swam as if its normal water!!!

We were hiding in the spa pool while Evan went from hot spa to cold pool... then cold pool back to hot spa!!! Champion!!! Daddy tried to join him but can't last for long... haha.... Mummy went in too... with her toes only hahaha....

This is one of the memorable part of the trip because I find him real brave and strong... haha

Animals and more animals

The kids will not have a chance to come so close to the animals in Spore and it was quite an experience for them... Claudia went crazy feeding and touching the animals, you can really feel her passion towards the animals... She simply can't stop.... cow, sheep, kangaroo, you name it, she feed it...



We went to Cavensham Wildlife Park at Swan Valley and it was an interesting place for the kids.... So natural that we were walking on the poo poo.... hahaha

As for Evan, he was not so comfortable being so close to the animals, the most intimate thing that he had done was to milk the cow and bottle-feeding the little lamb.... haha...

Their 1st ride on the tram in the Whiteman Park....

They saw the steam engine train for the 1st time...

They saw orange tree, lemon tree and lime tree for the 1st time.... It is something so basic in life but so rare in the city here....

Swan Valley is a place with lots of winery... more greenery and wildflowers everywhere.....There are playground at almost all the winery and the kids had a fun time playing again and again....

Day 1 Rest n Relax

Our 1st stop - King's Park

They had lots of fun running, jumping, chasing and posing for pictures.... Nice scenery, cool weather and happy kids!!!!
