These are photos taken during our Chinese New Year visit this year to our chinese grandmother house. My chinese grandfather passed away a long time ago. In a way, I collect red packets during chinese new year and green packets for Hari Raya except for Deepavali!We brought oranges and gifts for her. She always have sweets, crackers and fruits for us to bring home.I find it very touching that even though my mum was adopted by a Muslim family since young but still her real parents are willing to accept her as she is. Even my mum real chinese siblings does not mind the fact that she is a Muslim. Sometimes when they do invite us for their family functions, they take note to order halal food especially for us. Even our Chinese cousins are friendly to us. I really do appreciate whatever they have done for us and these kind of relationships can never be found anywhere.------------------------------------------------------

He has always been our first and only child. A scorpio just like me, his mum. I wish I can have a second one but....finances are quite tight now so it has to be put on hold for a very long time..... His favourite pastime is sweeping the house.
Seriously, he will take the broom from the kitchen and then proceed to sweep the entire house. Even sweeps the corridor. He can be so occupied sweeping that we can do our own work without any disturbance. Anybody wants to hire him?
We thought about having a second one but as said, put on hold. For how long? Hmmm.......Well at least we still have Shadiq....He is our one and only but he can be such a spoil brat. Thats why we did not pamper him, we still discipline him when he is naughty. Working in a kindergarten makes you see just how spoilt a child can be so I dont want him to be those kind of children.
Right now, dia sedap tidur air-con. I will just on the fan but he will automatically on the aircon before he sleeps. We are considering to do away with the aircon but he gets heat rash every time he sweats so its on hold for the time being. Doctor cant do anything with the rashes. Can only give us lotions and creams. The only thing we can do is make sure he doesnt sweat too much. Isnt easy when you have an 18 month old child who likes to run and climb all over the place. The stunts he do can scare you sometimes. There was one time he took the plastic chair and puts it on another chair. Then he climbs. After he sat on the plastic chair, he jumps out. You should hear how I scream! Maybe should put him on a career to be a stuntman.
Thought about upgrading myself like doing my degree in early childhood education but it will be a 3 year programme and I dont want to spend most of the time studying or doing my assignments...I wont have time for Shadiq at all. Herman can look after himself and jangan harap he look after Shadiq. I give him 48 hours and then he give up.
I have to finish my bond at this PCF kindergarten first. It ends next year July then I consider to go into another centre. Probably into NTUC childcare coz they pay for the degree course but I have to be bonded 5 years with them. I hate the bonding thing but unless someone gonna sponsor me for it then I got no choice. Currently I go into all sorts of courses and workshops that my company sends me for. Better get the experience and certs first before I leave.
