A “free” holiday?

Have you ever won a holiday? Well, I am not that lucky. But I know of a friend who won one, and it was for a couple to a luxurious resort in Thailand. Now, we all know that luxurious hotels in Asia is REALLY luxurious, and not like those crappy ones in US/Australia.

Well, he had to hire a babysitter/driver from overseas, and he had to buy a GameBoy and DS for his two kids. As a bribe for them to behave while they were away. I’m surprised he didn’t buy them a xbox 360 or a Wii.

And guess what? It worked! They were perfect angels, gluing themselves to the DS/Gameboy. They didn’t even miss them one second. No tantrum, no cries, no anything. Which surprised them, as their kids can be quite clingy. Goes to show, what electronic toys can do…

Uni-Mates

Mr.T is having lots of fun, in Uni. Hanging out with people who need top acne treatment the most, he’s been asked out for a movie day on Sunday. As you know, there is no way this man is going out gallivanting with his mates on the weekends, because he has obligations at home! Yes… his kids!

Did I mention that no one in Uni believes that he has kids?

Well, there you go. No thanks to his youthful looks, everyone thinks he’s just another 22 something year old guy. I’m just glad I’m not his FB friend. I’m sure he’d be caught out, with the no of pictures I put up, with the kids! Heh..

Liar liar pants on fire

I am such a liar. I swear. My kids are beginning to see the light. Today, I told them (the hundredth time), that they shouldn’t be playing with the water in the pail. I keep a pail in the shower, to collect the cold water, and later use it to clean the toilet or water plants. Anyway, I told No.2 that this water is yucky and has worms at the bottom of the pail. He was already quite cross with me, reprimanding him. I bet he’s already thinking of looking up the web directory for a new mom.

When I told him, about the worms. he looked up to me, with arms crossed, “Are you talking about pretend worms? Because there are no real worms in there. I think it’s pretend worms.”

Ha ha ha..what a smart fler. I laughed and laughed..and he wagged his fingers and said, “There are no real worms in the pail, Mu-um!”.

“Grown”

I love my moisturizing face cream by “Grown”. It absorbs right into my skin, and I don’t get that after-icky feeling. Then again, it could be the dry weather here. I love this cream, because it has one of my favourite scents, Geranium. I remember when I went for facials, a decade ago… my face massuer would use this to massage my face. I remember, lying there, in the dark, listening to calm relaxing music. I always end up falling asleep, because it was just so relaxing..or maybe I was just plain tired.

What I really hated was when I had to leave the place, and face the dusty, humid and hot afternoon. I always felt icky after that…and always had to wash my face after that. What a waste, eh?

Strong and healthy?

My No.2 is so cute. He’s slowing going out of his terrible “T” phase and is more co-operative and matured. When I started giving them daily multivitamin, animal shaped pills, a year back, he would literally almost vomit everytime he ate them. I think it’s a little bit sour, and he wasn’t used to it.

Today, I forgot to give him his daily pill, and he asked for it. I told him, nah..you  don’t need it today, it’s a holiday! He said, “No..I have to have it! I need to be strong and healthy so I can play!”.

Ah..I didn’t think such words would be repeated back so quickly to me!

The Hail

Two nights ago, we got hit by the Hail. Now, I’ve experienced the hail weather before, but not quite like this one. For one, the hail stones were as big as golf balls, and if you can imagine, they were travelling from the skies with great speed, and whacking all my patio furniture, and glass doors. I asked Mr.T to shut our inner garage door, but that meant, he had to run out into the open. As we watched (in disbelief) how huge these stones were, I quickly pulled him back into the house.

Luckily, I did that because the very next day, we heard that these stones created huge dents in cars parked outside! Seriously freaky weather.

A wedding.

Well, this is it. In April, we’ll be travelling back to witness my brother’s wedding. As I try to locate my luggage sets, I’ve been trying to figure out where to stay. Putting up a family of five, will be very inconvenient to whoever who wants us. Many places I’ve inquired are either rented out, OR, don’t have any furniture. As the date looms nearer, I suddenly feel like not going back at all! It’s just not the accomodation I’m worried about. It’s the many little things. I’d have to travel outer-state, to visit some in-laws and a grave. No doubt to pay respects, but, travelling with three kids, is really NO JOKE. And then, Mr. T will be missing several classes, which may cost him some marks. All these makes me really anxious somehow.

I need to take more St. John’s Worts, because I have been feeling awfully stressed lately.

Boy or girl?

My No.2 is so cute. He has in his own mind, generalized that pink is for girls and well, the rest of the colours are for boys. Thing is, I didn’t do that. I’ve let them play with cooking toys, baby dolls - dress up. And they also have their swords, trains and cars.

It’s the toy shops. They’ve sectionalised the toys according to gender. The only thing that’s neutral are board games.

Well, anyway, today, I was at the supermarket. I normally use the self-serve counter, but because I had a full load, I decided to use the services of the cashier. And boy..did I get a cute cashier today.

He had long blonde hair..and he was really cute. But, my boy, said, “He has long hair. Is he a boy or a girl? I think he’s a boy. He looks like a boy, but he’s got long hair”.

As I waited for the my receipt to be printed off the epson receipt printer, he could not stop staring at the cute cashier. Ok, he was cute, because he was young, blue eyes and long hair. Very surfer dude type. Very cute. Ok, I should stop saying he’s cute.

Well…that was the highlight of my day. Y-u-p. Thanks for reading.

Chilly Autumn

We’re only 2 days into Autumn, and it is seriously chilly. After the warmth and heat, my body has to start getting used to wearing warmer and heavier clothes again. Not only that, I’ve been reading all kinds of wrinkle creams reviewed by women’s magazines. Yes, it’s time to slap on those creams again, because the weather is getting drier and drier. Say bye bye to humidity.

You know… I used to think I was ok with the cold. Decided to dislike heat. But, now that it’s chilly again, I’m very partial towards the warmth now. I never knew I could so fickle with temperature.

What about you? Do you prefer the cold or the heat?

Uni

This is exciting. I’m excited. For Mr.T.

He is going to start classes at Uni tomorrow. As part of his course requirements, he was asked to get some work-googles. Oh yea… he tells me he may be able to design furniture, and he is going to meet Syd Mead. Is he a lucky bastard or what? I go to Uni, and I only get to work with bad-breathed Uni Mates, who don’t hand up their part of the assignment on time!

I think he will have a blast this year. What a 180deg change from working. While, on the other hand, I will have to work like mad… and get my scraps of money in.

*sigh*
