Happy 6th Birthday Victoria Lin! *Muack* ....Wake up bday girl.

Matthew starts Primary 1 today! Victoria in K2 with Genevieve's Montessori.

Drama rama on Day 1 with BOTH Matt's school bus AND Vic's school bus.

:-)

Darnest things which Matt say. :How old is earth?  Me: 4 billion years.  Matt: How old is the oldest man?. Me: 100years. Matt: No, i mean oldest baby. Me: *thinking what he meant might be about mankind"..."2 million years", i replied.

another day. Matt: I wish all my toys are free when i get a new toy.  His 7th birthday wish is that everyone is rich!

2 Jan 2010, we had 7th birthday party for matt. He's very excited about his new shrink wrapped board game toy and show off at the dinner table, full of drinks and food. the toy dropped and knocked down drinks creating a mess. "Lucky got plastic!!", came a relieved retort from Matt. The rest of us simply stared that the mess created and Matt's own view of the situation.

Funny one. Quotable quotes "Lucky got plastic".

Who is the first man on the moon? Neil Armstrong. Quickly, Matt asked next "So who is the first man on the Sun?"   Me "??!!!"  *speechless*.

We continued this conversation in the car today. I asked if he would be the first man on the Sun.  He said not, coz its too hot.

Victoria. The other day we were watching Planet 51 at Shaw Balestier. Rather loudly, Vic suddenly said "Hey, who's kicking!?".. .. then a few moments pause...."Who's kicking again!?".. her sharp voice broke the silence.    She's a survivor that she is.

:-)

More "Kids say the darnest thing" live from Matt and Vic.   The husband got a pot of venus flytrap plant. Very excitedly, Vic was describing to me how it all works. "When ah...the insect ah...land on it ah....then ah...*gasp for air* + *eyes very wide*... the venus fly trap very Quickly,..Slowly close!!".. She cupped both her hands to show how Quickly + Slowly works.

:-)

in early mid July, Matt enthusiastically came to me one evening when i'm back from work. 'who is the first man on the moon'? ...a little tired, i answered 'arm neilstrong'... a reply came from matt after a pause and a shrug,...'hmm....its not me.'. matter of factly.


next in end July, one of those conversation in the kitchen, when i just reached home.. vic brought up for uptempth time... 'mummy, i wanna go punggol...'..... she's been saying that when in JR, and when in PG, she says'i wanna check something from JR..."' or Í want to go Nai Nai house...'etcetc. she's always been the fish that swims against the tide...when we sleep she wants to wake..when we wake ...she wants to sleep...when we eat,..she wants to do something else...then we are full and happily enjoying the walk/swim/whatever,...she'll say..'i want to eat something'...just when at the most inconvenient moment. ...

back to the kitchen conversation...so i asked...'how to go punggol mydear?'....after a pause...'...by turning left,...and turning right.' matter of factly. *loss for words*... :D

very good answers kids have...'not me'and also 'turn left and turn right'. not wrong answers at all!...and kinda,..the more you think about it,..the funnier it gets.

Matthew fell from playground on 30may2009 and broke his right arm radius bone. been in a cast for a few weeks now.

Victoria's birthday, we went up to Malacca A'Farmosa. We went ahead inspite of matt's arm condition. on the 4th and last day night while having dinner, matt ran and fell again. this time bang his nose meet the stairs. some bruises on his other arm also. scared that anything is broken, we all packed and drove all the way home immediately. 12midnight reached home.

Mum twisted her ankle also in mid June one Friday. Went to see tuinah at ToaPayoh. Only until following Tue that we went to Polyclinic to see xray and realise there is a fracture. So, matt, mum, yi ge 'pai kar', yi ge 'pai chew'. following week in July 15 Philip also went for lasik. 'tok bak'also. for a week, jalan rajah seems like a hospital ward. ... in a funny way.

Found right infront of the ladder of the double decker bed (gotten from ladybug playground).
Talk about strategic placing. =P

Another song about a boy taking a bath by himself in the bathroom.
