Half a month into 2006 already.

Victoria is staying at Jurong. Matthew at Jalan Rajah this week. I went for retail therapy over the weekend and splurge $65 at toa payoh popular bookstore. Mostly art and craft items to entertain Matt and Vic on rainy days or in car or at resturants. Here is what i got:-

-scrapbook kit with stickers and colorful papers
-finger painting kit
-lots of stickers (matt can say 'sticker book')
-winnie the pooh stencil set (most expensive of today's buy $12.90)
-glitter gel pens x 4 (i try to pick up hand tattoo)
-1 stencil for tatto
-color paper (nice to get cut up by little hands)
-blank paper (nice to get mounted on for art work)
-glitter shapes
-glue stick
-double sided tape
-kindergarten workbook by chinese publisher (only 2.90!, a thick colored workbook too!)
resisted the urge to buy anymore puzzles. even though there is a hugh lot of them (winnie the pooh) at popular at a obscure corner most bottom shelf.

The last time I splurged >$100 at Borders on sticker books and crafts. Much cheaper to shop at popular i think.

Came home and opened the winnie the pooh stencil set and did a grand total of 15 mins of his attention. mostly i stencil while he sticks and jumping around with stenciled paper to make the 'butterfly' fly around.

then he promptly went back to playing Ricochet - a Magic Ball , variation. Maybe i will post a picture of what computer games Matt is playing at the moment. :)
