Cute innocence of my kids

Me when I return home after a day at work:

I go to the bathroom to wash my feet and hands. Kids follow behind me and tell me how they "killed a bug without an adult's help for the first time", they were in the shower when they spotted a bug, Yx sprayed water on it until it fell onto the floor. The bug "didn't know where the floor trap was" and it swam towards and down it went.

Hahaha honestly I'm not very entertained by this kind of trivia event but I take one step back and tell myself how cute they are, how significant an event they must have felt it was that their parents needed to know.

Blessed to be in their company, witnessing their innocence, laughter and naivety.

Ye also at this age of asking the weirdest questions:

"Why do people get married?"

"Why do people grow tall?"

"Why do we need to eat?"

"Why do we need to sleep at night?"

🤣

Sunday night reflection - Baking with Nainai

Wifey needed to rest her hands so I brought the girls out for lunch at White Sands. Ye did a Slidey Dumptey at Saizeriya (she slid down the cushioned seat and sat on the floor underneath the table lol it was super hilarious cos she was halfway in her sentence "姐，你记得。。。 *plonk!*“ ） lol, then we spent about 40mins at the library followed by 20mins at Pets Corner where the girls just erm, watched the animals 😂

Both girls were v cooperative throughout and I enjoyed their company. They've recently grown closer together and are each other's closest chit chat and singing buddies. I need to commend Yx the most as she is the most thoughtful and helpful sis: offering to take ye's mask; lending a hand when I commented I had too many bags to take by myself; holding ye's hand while guiding her through the carpark. Love them both so much!

Mom was available that afternoon and so we headed over for baking session! Magicmom bathed and changed them, involved the girls in the baking (whilst dad took pics and a vid), prepared tea break for them, and also cooked dinner for all of us. 

Amazing energy mom still possesses. We're all so blessed with her showering love and may my parents be blessed with good health for many, many more decades. ❤️

Wifey's eczema

The last week or so, wifey's eczema on her hands got quite bad. It's very itchy and while it was mostly contained to her pinkie, it seemed to be spreading to the other fingers. Stopped using dish cleaner altogether (only Tollyjoy) but to no avail. 

Finally went Niks yesterday (surprisingly no queue!?). Pray the med will help 🙏

EPL table standings - after 10 games

 Are we dreaming?

Sitting on top, after 10 games and 4 points clear! Despite ManCity's 1-0 loss to Liverpool last night, ManCity is still the favourites to win the league. 

The way Arsenal has been playing this season and the physical and mental resilience displayed are giving gooner fans newfound belief in the team. But we are also a realistic lot, given our squad depth we know an injury to one or two key personnel will derail our season immediately. As Arteta stresses to the team, we don't look too far ahead whereas we take one game at a time. 

One thing for sure is that I am certainly enjoying watching every game!

Sunday nights are for reflection

I love the peaceful and quiet of Sunday nights. Sunday late nights. How late, late like, after the last Sunday match of EPL kinda-late. 

It's an ideal time to do some reflection of how the weekend went past. Weekends pass by so quickly for us, activity after activity, meal after meal. A swift passing weekend, actually, is a fortunate event. It only passed by so quickly is because one is not burdened by worries, not dragged down by chores, not bogged down by obligations. 

Just thought I'll pen down the things I'm grateful for for the weekend that just zoomed by:

- That no one is sick, obviously

- Happy and cute girls who are beginning to be able to play together more and more

- 30 mins of Busy Books play with #wyx7. 

- Started Sunday early, met Ct Christy and their boys at ECP and caught up abit

- Girls were entertained by my silly idea of drawing a face on their plates with vege

- My girls are so cute and chuckle and funny

- And last but not least!

TOP OF THE LEAGUE!
