The Kids were a little under the weather, as was Aba, so the Family didn’t go out in the day on Hari Kemerdekaan.
Near evening, the Family went to Megamall for dinner (Chicken Rice Shop). The Twins had insisted on NOT using the stroller, so Aba and Ama gave it a try.
The HomeDec Exhibition was going [...]

In recognition of May’s creative genius in arts and handicraft, Ronald Mc Donald awarded her with a prize (co-sponsored by Staedtler).
It was actually for winning the ‘50 Years of Independence “I Made This”’ contest, in her age group (ages 4 to 6). And there were only 25 winners.
May is ready for the next artwork/drawing submission…

国庆日即将来临了…
Ama 给真, 善, 媄各自都买了一支国旗, 也趁机会教了他们一些有关于马来西亚的普通常识…
跟他们一起数国旗上的红白横条和星星的尖角; 教他们唱国歌 (学来学去只记得 Negarakuuuuuu ♫); 8月31日是国庆日; 带他们去看邻居在楼下种的国花之类的.
除此之外, 这一阵子Aba和Ama也时常会带真，善，媄去出席配合国庆日所举行的活动.
至此, 媄几乎能完全了解Ama的‘讯息’, 而且她已经完全沉醉在里头了. 但真, 善只感兴趣的却似乎只有国旗… 因为只有每一回看到国旗, 他们就会很兴奋地喊 ‘Malasyia! Malaysia!’… 一拿起就 ‘Merdeka! Merdeka!’

According to the Look-alike Meter Ama found out from 1+2 mom…
May looks slightly more like Ama
Sarn looks slightly more like Aba.
And, Jern looks equally like Aba and Ama.
Ama’s conclusion: Draw. Everyone is happy.
Aba’s conclusion: Should get Number 4 for tie-breaker?

Today, Ama brought Apo and the Kids to the Putrajaya Flower & Garden Festival 07 (‘Celebrating 50 years of a Nation in Bloom’) – aka ‘Florial’.
It is supposedly Malaysia’s Largest Flower and Garden Festival. There are over 200 spectacular floral and garden designs by local and international award-winning designers.
It would be going on from 25th [...]

May was so looking forward to this Bread Baking Workshop since her Pizza-Making outing the last time.
It started raining around 12pm, so Ama decided to go earlier. Ama and the Kids reached The Curve at around 1:50pm.
Ama met up with 1+2mom and her family. Her son, Carter, was going to be baking bread with [...]

The International Fireworks Competition, 1st time held in Malaysia, began on Saturday, 18 August. Ama, being the great firework-display fan, just had to go see it.
Unfortunately, the best place to see it, at the Putrajaya International Convention Centre (PICC), at a RM38.50 per person, was already fully booked. The Family went to Putrajaya to see it [...]

Yesterday, Aba nonchalantly suggested that the Family go for an outing the next day. Somehow it was decided that the trip would be to Port Dickson. Ama knew about the man-made beach resort there. The Kids were so excited.
This morning, the Family woke up at 8am and set out for PD at 9am. We arrived [...]

School Holidays has started.
Although the Kids are not schooling yet, Ama has enrolled May in the special Bread Baking Workshop at Marché Movenpick that meant for school break children.
Last school holidays, May participated in the Pizza-Making Workshop. May Really had fun!
Hopefully she’ll like breadbaking as well.

刚才去Pasar Malam的时候, Ama目睹一个载着整家人的爸爸, 不理在前面等着的另外一个车主, 蛮横无理地抢了别人的泊车位.
不但如此, 过后那个爸爸还向孩子炫耀自己是多么地‘醒目’,他们才不需要多花时间去找别的泊车位. 而(看得出)他的孩子也为自己的爸爸觉得很骄傲.
最后那个倒霉的车主只有离开了.
这让Ama想起…
很多年以前, 阿姨因为一句 ‘横行的螃蟹怎么可能教会自己的孩子直走’ 酱来批评舅舅教自己的孩子, 结果被舅舅掴了一巴掌.
Ama 觉得阿姨并没有讲错 (虽然用语有点那个), 但她却因为舅舅接受不了事实而挨打.
有人说: 父母是孩子的一面镜子. 父母是对孩子影响最先、最深的人，也是孩子模仿最早、最多的形象. 在孩子的身上, 往往可以看出其爸爸妈妈为人处世的哲学和做人的准则.
所以说, 虽然不可能在孩子面前完全杜绝各种‘不宜’的行为, 但能免地就必须免咯.
