JE at Raya gathering

Brought JE along to a Raya potluck with my ex-colleagues.  Thought it would be good that she gets to see a new place beyond our usual ones.  No point bringing SE as there'd be durians there and she'd be covering her nose the whole time.

Me in Mummy's friend's house

She brought along her bunny Fluffy:

Fluffy wants to touch the cushion

She ate a lot of durian and after that she got to sit in a cosy chair and play the iPad.  Can't be joining in the conversation of oldies like us!

Mummy's gang

After the event I collected her and we drove home.  Quite nice to have my little girl joining me at such events. :)

At the optometrist

SE had been complaining she sees the same WITH and WITHOUT her specs.  Oh-oh... the power must have changed.

JE had been wanting specs for the longest time.  The last time she was tested, she had very slight power in one eye.  So didn't bother getting her specs (which she wasn't pleased at).

Now she insisted on getting her eyes tested again.  Haha see how thrilled she was.

Going to check our eyes (yayyy!)

Shoo-ed her off the chair to let SE go first.  The verdict... SE's power has gone down from +450 to +150 (her problem is farsightedness.  Power is more than mummy's reading glasses!).  Woo hoo!  That's a big drop and hopefully that's the correct power when the specs arrive.  JE.... needs specs. Sigh.  Power is -0.25 on one side and -1.25 for the other.  Optometrist said if she doesn't wear specs, the weaker eye will get worse (don't know if he was just opportunistic!).  So what to do, specs for this girl also.

Went to the Secret Garden to take some pictures of my sweet girls without specs.

Korean phase

JE is currently into Korean songs.  It started with the band Blackpink and now BTS.  And by extension, the band members.  And anything related to these members.

Last week she asked to eat Korean food.  Oh well, if this makes her eat more, fine.

Me, Fluffy and BTS!

SE is not a huge fan but she is happy to go along with all these.  (JE's bunny Fluffy gets brought everywhere for now).

Us, Fluffy and a pot of veggie for Fluffy

Dropped by Family Mart as usual since it's nearby.

Sea salt ice-cream! (No I don't like it)

And we listened to Korean songs going there and back.

Full car boot

Weekdays we are in our apartment near to school and my parents, weekends we go back to our house.  Somehow we always look like we're moving house!  Food and other supplies for the week are procured on weekends and would need to be brought to the apartment.  Some clothes have to be brought here and there (contrary to what hubby thinks, it's NOT practical to just buy more clothes).  Partially-consumed food like fruit and milk also have to be brought.

Also it's not just TWO places but THREE - my parents' house being the third.  Fridays we leave from there to go home.  While Sundays we go from home to apartment.  So JE's school bag will follow us 20km to our house, then return 20km to the apartment.

And the kids always bring their soft toys:

Pink bunny bag for Jojo's toys. My toys are in BeeBee

Thought BeeBee looked cute peeking out like that 

Hence the full car boot every single week!

Father's day 2019

Belated post:  A lunch to celebrate Father's day.  Ended up at this shop in Evolve mall after our first choice of the dim sum restaurant didn't pan out (called and they said no need to book, arrived and the place was packed with a queue outside.  Grrr).  Food was actually not bad.  Not a single pic of it though hehe.

The clan. Ah Kong at the head of the table

Hubby had gone for a holiday so it was just me, the girls and our maid.  Went to the supermart a while before going home.  One thing good about the girls, after this photo they put the lollipops back coz Mummy said cannot buy.

Lollipops! Which aren't ours

H.I.

Saw this 'Hi' on the fridge one early morning.  Before it was time to wake the kids up, and when I was stressed with tons of incomplete items at work.

Put there by the kids of course.  SE for this one.

Reminded me that despite the work-related stress, life is good for me.  (Teared up a bit also upon noticing the photos from a few years ago.  Kids grow so fast and they looked so much younger then) 

Cousin Erin's birthday

This was the celebration before everything went rough haha. Was a nice dinner though the kids were complaining about the lack of activities.

This one is cooperative for photos

Cheeky two

The clan

The kids made their own activity by running around and hiding each other's shoes and generally being rather a nuisance.  Fortunately there weren't many other patrons.

The kids minus the biggest boy
