We have a friend who is very talented. He has lots of skills. He said, he gets bored very easily so he learns lots of things to keep him occupied. Sometimes, he offsided Mcj's brother, G, in his business. At times, he would be here to fix our computer and other technical problems. And what I learned lately was, he writes. He tried once but because of financial issues, I think, that lucrative career was put on hold. Well, when he knows that he can Self Publish his manuscript or masterpiece, he might pursue writing again. Yeah, because he said, he...

Big Decision (Education)
I'm planning to go back to work in the future. It's a big decision as a family because I really want to be hands on to Jens especially on his early years of education. I want to be the one to take him to school (and pick him up as well), to prepare his lunches and all other meals, and most importantly, to teach him in his homework and lessons. I guess, if we want to be ahead financially, we have to make little and big sacrifices. Instead of personally teaching Jens, I might consider Tutoring him.Talking of tutor, there are several options on the...

Play Group 4
Today's attendance in playgroup was the same with last week. There were just three of us that turned up. But with all the kids playing in the playground, it was crowded and fun.Jens had a great time. At first, he was well-behaved, just sitting flipping the pages of the book and eating a biscuit. But when the inflatable toy was put up, he wanted to play in it and just mess up with the balls. He was a big show-off - standing up without holding on to...

Hot Men!
I love this tag from Mich. I remember that I did this tag before but I don't mind doing it (actually I love doing it again) as I can't remember my old post. :)These are the men that I like (not necessarily hot) apart from Mcj:1. Nicolas CageI like the way he talks on his movies. I first saw him in Face Off, though he was the bad guy there, for me he was the good guy because of the swapping of the face. :)2. Luke WilsonI can't even remember the movie...

New Food: Rock Melon
We were looking for pawpaw but we only saw the whole fruit. We just want half for our little boy. We saw the rock melon instead so Mcj said, we'll try it to Jens. While I was slicing it, I was also having some and shared little bites to Jens and he loves it. It was sweet plus was also chilled. Yum. I vitamised what was left and gave him some for dessert yesterday. You can see the difference when he likes his food. His dinner was pumpkin,...

Playgroup 2
Tuesday 9 - 11AM. That's the time of our playgroup but because it's just an informal meeting of Mums and babies, it's alright to be late. And so we were late. :)Yesterday, the coordinator K was there so I was able to fill-out the playgroup form and I would receive the card in the mail soon, which I can also use to go to the toy library in our area. That's good. For nothing. The group has toys and one of the Mums brought her own, so the kids were able to play on the sand. Oh, there were blankets though.I was really happy with Jens attitude...

Weekend Snapshot 8
Daddy and son always have their time on the grass in our backyard. And last Saturday's no different. They played, lied-down and pull grass, well except Jens occasionally put them in his mouth. The little boy just love the freedom to move around as well as Mum and Dad knowing he can't fall further. :)More weekend snapshots he...

Skywatch 3
This was the view that greeted me yesterday noon, when I opened our back door. Can't help to grab the camera and snap my skywatch for the week. Looks like the clouds were fighting for dominance. More skywatch here....

Playgroup
Mcj is not that busy at work these days so Jens and I were able to join playgroup for the first time. I wanted to when he was about four months but Mcj could not get time off work to drop us off the meeting place and pick us up again after two hours.The group that we joined in meet every Tuesday from 9-11AM at the community park. When I rang up the coordinator who was on holiday, she told me that she might not able to attend but still we can come...
Enlisting
When things were on the hype side and the family business was new, we had it listed in the business directory. Well, that's as far as I know. And recently, approximately a couple of years back we stopped paying for the listing. Why? Because the first business was trading not entirely on what it was listed before rather on a limited range and it had been existing for more than 27 years. Plus, it is listed on another trading community. We still get calls and customers, so it wasn't a big loss for not being listed in the popular listing sites and...

Weekend Snapshot 7
Before Mcj wrap up for the day, after a hard day's work, he mowed the little big overgrown lawn last Saturday. It was close to dusk and Jens was ready to go to sleep with his jammies on. But upon hearing the roar of the mower engine, he was hyped up and wanted to go outside to see what's going on. We just watched while Mcj cut the grass and when the work was over, he put Jens on his lap and ran in circles around the backyard. So Jens had his...
Food First Before Sleep
Our little boy hasn't learned to sleep through the night yet. Normally, he would wake up between midnight and 3AM. What for? Food.Yes, Jens still wakes up at night to eat despite him eating solids for dinner and more milk. He is just the type of bub who doesn't go to sleep with a tummy half full nor go back to sleep when waken up with the same tummy condition.I would love him to sleep through the night so I can sleep un-interrupted but I don't mind waking up to feed him as he doesn't create a fuss. of course, he would cry or make noise to let us...

Sky Watch 2
This shot was when the car stopped on the red light. It's a sign infront of the shop where we go sometimes for clothes shopping or errands other than food shopping. We do our food shopping in a 5-minute-drive shop down south. The parking and shops are all in one level, very convenient.Fore more SW, check out the ...

New Food: Grapes
Jens finally had a whole green grape. That's because we bought the long overdue fresh food feeder.I had given him peeled and diced grapes so he can chew the little bits or so I thought. It turned out though that he was just stocking up the bits and pieces inside his mouth and not swallowing them. But he looked like chewing them. He just might have been sucking them or something like that. So I stopped giving him at all.The fresh good feeder is a...

Knock! Knock!
Jens loves tapping his hands on anything. His Nans called it playing the piano if he's doing it on the table and playing the drums if on a chair.Mcj used to teach him to knock on the door and he would do it with palm open. Recently, his Dad taught him to properly knock. And Jens had learned very quickly. Now, Jens knows how to knock on the door even if he's inside. :) And instead of tapping to table or the chair sometimes, he would knock on them....
