5 balloons for who?

Yesterday night gangsterdad & I were so very surprised cos we have never taken a serious approach to teaching Gracia about numbers. A little family conversation went like this before the lights were off,

Gangsterdad: Tomorrow daddy will pass by the bookshop & buy bubbles & balloons for you okie. How many balloons do you want?

Gracia spreading wide her 5 fingers and show it to us: 1 for gugu(aunt), 1 for Zander(cousin), 1 for daddy, 1 for mummy & 1 for Gracia!

That's exactly 5! Haha! So surprised she can match numbers to the correct number of people & it's definitely great that she wants to give gifts to her loved ones.: )

I hate studying for exam

169 names of buildings. 115 Apartments, a couple hundreds of names including sports complex, shopping malls, hospitals, places of interest, recreation and country clubs, embassies just to mention a few.... and there are the streets and routes direction that blow my mind into potato...

oh goodness i had no idea it was so hard!!! and tiring and blistering to my eyes... i feel blood flowing out from my eye ball... now i wish i were a dog. Like those sleeping around our neighbourhood. They're really at peace with the world and everything. running around and exploring, burying stuff and digging them up, chasing rats, finding food blah blah. No studying! Sigh. I'm such a pessimist when come to exam or test. I only love reading for leisure sake... Well give me something to be optimistic about then. Perhaps passing my vocational licence on my first attempt...

Bunny & Ice-cream

I want to say a big thank you to Gracia's xiao-yi Lisa for her generous gift to little Gracia. Playing with play-doh started to get more fun when Lisa took out her soft toy bunny and moulded a purple hat for the bunny & I took the chance to mould 2 carrots, a decoration to the hat & the other for the bunny's food.




Next, mummy moulded an ice cream for me to eat! She knows I love rainbow rice (sorry folks, not sure if this is the correct term to use) & made a strawberry flavoured ice cream topped with rainbow rice for me! Yummy! I love it & I'm going to share it with Ben kor kor! We love it!

What exactly is sweet in a 2 years old brain

I(Mummy) was running a slight fever yesterday and gangsterdad took the initiative to settle Gracia for the night while I simply just rest on the bed waiting for Gracia to be ready for sleep. I thank gangsterdad for being such a sweet husband(wanna puke? Lol!) please do so after reading the post... hee! Gracia immediately went forward to gangsterdad and...

Gracia: "Daddy, you are so sweet. I can eat you."

Hahahaha! So that's the meaning of sweet to Gracia!

At 6am, I woke up with an urgent need to pee and asked Gracia to wait in the room for me while I go to the toilet. She didnt cry for me like what she usually did and gangsterdad praised her for not being fussy and waiting patiently for mummy...

Gangsterdad: "Gracia you're such a sweet girl. You are not fussy and you waited quietly for mummy in the room."


Gracia: "Gracia is sweet, Mummy you can eat me."

Hahahah! Confirm the meaning of sweet is in a 2 years old brain and it also suddenly dawned on me that Gracia knows the difference between you and me!! Gracia, you're mummy's small darling and will forever be my sweet little girl. Mummy & Daddy love you to bits!!
