The Kids discovered a curious plant growing in front of the house.
When touched, the plant would ‘shrink’.
It took a while, before it ‘opened’ up again.
The Kids were so thrilled with this finding that they spent almost an hour sitting around it – touching it and squealing in delight when it ‘shrank’, then patiently [...]

When they shifted to the new house, they’ve been greeting the neighbour’s turtle (which had its aquarium in the porch) every morning.

Today, Hiro came home.

The watermelon plant was pulled of the ground by the Twins.
Now, the Kids are growing ladies finger and sweet corn.
Everyday after fetching May to kindy, [...]

Ama bought tickets to Bread Town at SmartKids Fair
Today, the Family decided to go.
Before setting out, the Family tried out the breakfast menu at the local KFC. Only the Nasi Lemak and the sausages were available. Frankly, we found them less satisfying than… say, McBreakfast.
And then it was off to Shah Alam, where Bread Town [...]

For 3 days, Ama had to yell at the Kids to clean up their playroom at the end of the day…
They were refusing to clean up quickly, after turning the playroom into a ‘garbage dump’ by the end of each day.
As punishment, Ama forbade them from entering the playroom for the whole of today.
Incredibly, the [...]
