My Baby Wanna Be Cool Too

It's just so cute that I can't resist not posting it up...lest I forgot such innocent statements when they're older.
As all boys are, my kids are into all those cool alien things and Pokemon as well. It's hard for a mommy to keep up with her boys. It's different when you're a mother to daughters and you can get whatever's on your daughter's mind. But when your kids think booger-diggin in utterly so cool, fast cars, invading aliens, fallen buildings, crashing motorbes....sigh....I just find it so hard to get. 
One of the things they're really into these days is Ben 10 Alien Force. Ben 10 started off with a young boy who discovered this watch that stuck to him and allowed him to change into 10 different aliens to conquer the evil world. I have to admit it's kinda cool. 
But as Ben 10's audience grew, Ben 10 has to grow too, hence, there's Ben 10 alien force whereby Ben is now older, much wiser and have a team of people with him to fight evil alien forces. 
Anyway, my kids are really into it and I made it a point to listen to the theme song and find out how to play the song on the piano. I have to say that it's a hit with them!!! They're like, "COOL, mom! Teach me how to play Ben 10 song, MOMMMM!!!!"
Tell me about it....I must be one of the coolest moms in the world for learning how to play the song just to get her kids interested, eh? Well, it's a cool song, so.... :-) And I've always had this penchant for looking up chords and tunes to songs that I like, so.... 
However, I gave my kids boxes and paper plates for them to create things with them....it's school holidays, and my elder son came up with a monster to combat Ben 10 and it was kinda cool, I have to admit. Younger son thinks it's cool too and took his box to draw on it. 
Right before we slept, Younger son looked completely forlorn and I asked him what was going on. "Mom, it's no fun. Elder son always comes up with cool things and my things always look so cute. It's no fun"!
I burst out laughing when I saw what he drew on his box and plate. This is what he drew on the paper bag I gave him. 
I bet Ben 10's gonna run off scurrying after fighting this paperbag!! Isn't it so CUTE!!!!!??? LOL! He asked me why I am laughing and I said, "It's so cute!" He doesn't seem to think it's a good thing.

A Liberating Activity - Guess What Mine Is....

When asked what’s my one single favorite thing to do in the world, I would usually name a whole list of things that I love to do when my work is not screaming at me. Something that takes my mind COMPLETELY off of everyday tasks and relaxes me. Take a guess what it is…. If you say ‘ reading ’, yes, I love reading (especially soppy love stories with lots of sex scenes, please. Hee hee hee ….) and I also love mystery novels but it’s not the first on the list. If you say ‘ playing the piano ’; yes, I love playing the piano. Creating forms a huge part of my life and whenever I play the piano (as inept at it as I am), there’s this tiny little girl inside of me jumping up and down with glee, clapping her hands. It’s my childhood dream to be able to play the piano! And thumping on the keys gives me a sense of satisfaction when I hear the music. If you say ‘ writing ’; You’ve got to be kidding me! You mean I don’t write enough as it is? Case closed. If you say ‘ playing with my kids ’; Yea...

Maid Side-Kick

I was kind of a little sad when I read the news about this - there will be no live-in Indonesian maids in Malaysia anymore . There are pros and cons to having a live-in maid, as with everything else, but for us, we enjoyed more pros than cons. Back then, when my kids were little, we brought in a family of maids to help with...well, just about everything, and we were like two families merged into one. They ate what we ate, we sleep, they sleep, we shop, they shop, they joke, we laugh, we joke, they laugh...for me, the maid I hired was more like a sister and side-kick to me. For that few years, I was dependent on her to mind-read my schedule and when I need or don't need help. She picked things up quickly and we ended up having lots of moments whereby we were in sync. Today, two of them are on my Facebook and we were gleefully chatting over Facebook Messenger since they've just discovered the wonders of the Internet and Social Media. Since we were more like partners in crim...

Demanding a Balanced Lifestyle

We live in a world choked with demands….demand for more money, better lifestyle, more holidays, smarter kids, bigger house, posher cars….etc. People walk around with spiritually unimportant goals in their minds driven by the need to succeed and be better than others around them. Hong Kong. South Korea. Japan. Most Asian countries suffer from this ill-fate which have caused a horrific rise in the number of suicide rates in the said countries. Malaysia is no exception as well although we’re very slowly gaining ground on our neighbors. Just picking up my son from school can become a stressful affair. I’ve mentioned this to a few friends of mine over the phone and all of them cluck their tongue shake their head. It’s end of the year and the kids are getting their test results back by now. I overheard a couple of tai-tais (housewives) gripe about their kids’ results. Mom: I don’t know-lah. My kid did not do very well this term. The best also got 95 only. (NINETY FIVE ONLY???) ...
