Our tea

We went to botanical gardens today for lunch, was quite disappointed with the food court, cos I find the price is quite ex and doesn't taste very good!

Anyway, WL thought to bring the kids for some outdoor activity but the weather was not very good today, was drizzling when we left the house. Lucky the rain stopped after we finish our lunch and we managed to take a walk round the swan lake!! It was pretty interesting to plants we do not see outside, or is it just me?? Haha...

Anyway, the kids have fun knowing how water lily, arrowheads and cat tail looks like!! And also we some beautiful swans and dragonflies!!

After the walk, we head to holland V, been a long long time since we were here! Did some shopping and head to the Taman Warna road for our tea!! Cos our 2 rascals are having their nap and we know this shop serves very nice orange cheese cake!! Bunalun!!! And here we tried their Raspberry brownie, coffee latte and hibiscus tea!! Nice!!

My Ashley

Ehm, I dunno how I should start this entry tonight. Cos am feeling bad about ashley's crying. I did not scold her or raise my voice at her, but I was lecturing her and telling her what she had done wrong. This is the first time she was crying so badly from my words!

She started weeping initially but when I ask get why, the worse she cried! Even after I wiped clean her face, the moment she sees me, she cry again! As though she was being wronged!! Signed...

Ok, the things that started my lecturing:
1. She would destroy and throw away a piece of the A4 construction paper when she found a word had been spelt wrongly or some picture she drew were not correct! Even though I had told her umpteen times that the other side of the paper can still be used or she can crossed out the wrong word, she would crashed the paper!! This is really wasteful thinking of the amount of trees used to produce the paper!!

2. She would refused to tie up her hair the moment she leave the childcare!! And her hair is making her sweaty and hot and super messy!!! And she always refused to let me tie her hair too, always insisting to tie them herself!! So just now I had also told her that I would bring her to the hairdresser tomorrow after her lunch!

3. And she forgot to wash her hands before eating the banana!! I guess this was the triggering point! As she started crying while washing her hands!

4. She had recently started to whine pretty badly!! Whenever she encounter things not done her way, she would start to whine! And this really pisses me quite badly!

Anyway, while I ask her to stop crying I also assure her that, mummy still loves her every much!! And when I hug her, she started to cry badly again and my tears were also in my eyes!! I really did not realized I had hurt her so badly.... :(

Adwin and drumstick

My little adwin loved meat more than anything. We are Ikea for dinner now and WL had ordered some chicken wings. He did not have nuggets and chips or the pasta, he only choose to eat 3 drumlets for dinner!!

Renovating our new place

We are in the mist of renovation our place so we can shift in by mid of Sept... And I guess I had underestimate the size of the project! Haha... Cos firstly, the budget is way over what I had intended for, overlooking that many things need to be changed since this is an old flat!! But am glad we had chosen some nice tiles for the flat. Am sure this house will look different from the one we are currently staying in!!

I was really shocked with the amount of cockroaches that had stayed there before. When the workers dismantle the kitchen cabinets, the roaches were all dashing towards the front door for escape!! OMG... and the smell was really unbearable, with all the oil stains that had accumulated for years there!! And with this, am 200% glad I did hack off everything there!! In fact, WL was quite upset that we were paying so much COV and still need to hack off everything in the house!! But like what our agent told us, corner units are being snatched very quickly in the market rather than being SOLD!! So, I guess with all these, our new place is still a worthwhile purchase! :p

Look of the old flat:

Major hacking process:

After wet works to the flooring before they can start to put up the tiles:

Orchard Central....

Orchard Central is still not my preferred shopping mall after so many visits...  Cos of the funny layout and the shops do not interest me.  And seems like they are having flea market on weekends too!!  I guess they are also trying to attract more young people to the mall.  And this time round, we managed to find our way to the rooftop to have a look!!  No pictures taken, cos our iphone does not have flash so it turn out all black!  And WL feel the layout is quite bad, cos the exhaust pipe from the restaurants are blowing in a direction which would makes you smell stinky after awhile there!! haha...

See how the father & kids are posing outside the mall!!...

Ashley's first colouring competition

Ashley participated in her first colouring contest last Sunday, this was jointly organised by Chong Pang CC & Great Eastern Insurance, promoting Kindness & Filial Piety.  I had signed her up for the purpose of exposing her to such an event, as I know her artwork is still not yet to win a prize yet! Haha... :p

Anyway, WL joined us after his volunteer work @ CF is done and the picture below shows how the Father & Son is enjoying the leftovers milo!!  WL is trying hard to scrap the milo from the cup & Adwin is waiting eagerly for it!!!  Haha...
