YJ's First Year-End Exam


[I haven't been updating my blog as often as previously...sigh! I'm currently at the end of my Decision Analysis module, and since this module involves n-u-m-b-e-r-s...I consider it as one hell of a killer paper (well, at least for me). My greatest weakness is dealing with numbers -- I can be as blur as sotong and even the simplest concept will seem to be the hardest one for me. So, with that problem in hand, I've decided to temporarily sacrifice my blogging time.]


This whole entire week had been very busy for me. Yup, it's the year-end school exam season.



Yeah...in fact, it's the time when parents become more "kancheong" than their kids! I encouraged YJ to do some self-practices and did some quick revision with him every night. Based on his monthly report card, YJ has been progressing tremendously well.


DH and I promised to get him a new bicycle if he comes up top three in list. I guess that was indeed a great motivation as we could see that he worked very hard every night.


Till yesterday, YJ brought home four of his five main exam papers and each paper came with a fantastic result. One more paper to go...and we are keeping our fingers crossed that it will be as fantastic as the other four. We are proud of you, kiddo!!

Trick or Treat!!



It's Halloween again. Last year, I did a post on Halloween cupcake designs. I was thinking of a Halloween post a few days back. I had lots of fanciful ideas, but due to time constraint, those ideas remained as ideas in my mind.


WJ was browsing through some Disney cartoons with me when we stumbled upon several real classic Disney Halloween cartoons. This was (and still is) my favourite. Enjoy...

When Pancakes should be Flipped and not Turned...



My lil' heroes were craving for pancakes as breakfast this morning. My lil' heroes always enjoy them drizzled with some maple syrup. They will definitely be yummier if they are topped with some sliced bananas or strawberries.


As I was making the pancakes, WJ went into the kitchen observing how they are done.

Then, he made a comment: Mommy...that's a wrong way of making a pancake.

I asked him why and his answer was: You see, you just turned the pancake to the other side. That's wrong. You have to flip it into the air and catch it with your pan!





Yeah, I guess he got that idea from watching Mama Pingu making pancakes.

DUH...I told WJ that I'm not able to flip and catch the pancake because I'm not a chef nor am I Mama Pingu. He seemed to be happy with that answer for now.

Geez...I wonder what will his next comments be when he observes me cooking in the kitchen later...

My Lil' Heroes and Bakugan Craze


Oh, no!!! DH has decided to be on my lil' heroes side and he seemed to approve Bakugan.


If you can remember, I wrote a post about Bakugan about a month ago. From one miserable Bakugan, it somehow grew into a collection of them (yeah..thanks to DH). Up till today, my lil' heroes have collected about a dozen of them. Their topic of conversation now revolves around nothing else but BAKUGAN! Oh...I almost forgot, they have been getting their doses of Bakugan series via Youtube since yesterday.




I still have THAT "thing" AGAINST Bakugan, but somehow I'm slowly losing my guard against Dragonoid, Gorem, Skyress, Stinglash and the whole gang of them...HELP!!!


(Gorem...you look very mean here.)
