Walking with pet: kids style

Firstly, the kids were told to walk their little pup, and here was their first reaction:

What a tussle!

Alright, managed to break them up and persuaded them to "SHARE"...... and here's what we'd:

I was amazed how these kids had their "share" in walking the pet ..... geeeezzzzz .....

Well, that would be the first and last time they walked their pet in their "creative" way ;-)

Where to have BRUNCH in the long weekend? Delifrance ...

We went over to Delifrance in one of the recent weekends and had a "GREAT FEAST" in the morning. No need to eat lunch after this breakfast .... it's available during weekends and public holidays (if you wish to cut cost, you may like to refer to the text at the bottom of this article)

Is Delifrance Breakfast Buffet Worth It? :: Living In Singapore Today

Dad .... can't get into my mouth anymore .....

Get in Delifrance just after 10am, ask the manager how much would it cost for the kids. Most likely they will get it for free because they are going to pack up very soon. Then grab all you can like what we had done! I had another cup of nice and hot gourmet kopi even after 10:30am ....

Kid's Excuses to get what he wanted

Dad woke his 7 y.o. kid up,

7 y.o. :"Dad, I'm really tired, can't I sleep in the car?!"
Dad :"Nope, But you can walk back to rest in your bedroom."

The kid got out from the car reluctantly and while walking back home with his dad,

7 y.o. :"Dad, I am tired, but you wake me up, so, can I play computer games?"
Dad :"Not until you complete your homework."

7 y.o. :"Dad, I can only play computer games now..."
Dad :"WHY?!"

7 y.o. :"Because I will need more energy to hold the pencil and write when I do my homework ..."

7 y.o. :"... But I only need one finger (press the keyboard) to play the computer games."

7 y.o.:"... I won't play games that need the mouse."

Zebra Crossing?

I was trying to teach my 4y.o. kid about Zebra Crossing, so as I stopped my car before the Zebra crossing and I had a brief Q & A with my kid:

Dad:"What is in front of us?"

4y.o.:"I duno ..."

Dad:"It is a Zebra Crossing."

4y.o.:"Daddy, you are very funny ... there is no Zebra Crossing ... there are many PEOPLE crossing."

Yes! The kid was right, there were indeed many people crossing the road (using the Zebra crossing).

My Chihuahua ate her own SHIT!!

There was this moment when our Chihuahua, Belle, defecated on several spots within her cafe, as we had given her too much good food (Divine Pet food).

Before I could clear one of the piles of waste, she literally gobbled up and left no trace of it .... eeeeewwwww!! That was digusting!

I told my wife who then scolded the pet,
"Belle! Do you think you are a PLANT that feeds on SHIT??!!"

And my 4 y.o. added,
"Belle, you want to be a FLOWER, I put SOIL on you, OK?"

Water Cushion for kids with high fever

Over the past weekend, I had a hell of my time caring for my two kids who had high fever. It was a roller coaster ride, down and up to 39.8 degC.

One of the recommendation from the GP was to acquire water cushions, place them in the fridge to cool them, then place them under the bed sheet or within the pillow case and get the kids to lie on them. This will help to dissipate the body heat and lower the body temperature. The water cushion might be kept cool if it is used in an air-conditioned room. Wrap the cold Water Cushion with a towel if necessary as condensation would occur around the Water cushion; you would not want the patient to be drenched, would you?

So, how much did the Water Cusion cost me?

If you go to the BIG stores in the shopping malls, it may cost you from around S$8 to S$15.
But you could also get it at around S$2 in value shops, such as the Value$. And I bought two of them, so I could interchange them when one of them becomes warm.

What's the length & width? It's about 45cm x 30cm, big enough to cover the upper body of a 7 y.o. kid.

So, what do I do with them when my kids recover?

Place it under my butt .... shooooik sia!!

Kids' Art Showcase #10 - Sea Creature #5

From the 9 y.o. girl again ... errrr ... yah I know, it's not an Octupus

(it's an Octopus)

Dreamcatcher

Wow! I didn't know that the kids are taught to make Dreamcatchers in their primary school.

Dreamcatchers were originally made by the Red indians in North America for their kids to catch & purge bad dreams while letting the good ones through to the kids.

Click Here to read more about Dreamcatcher

Well, I guess it may not be a tradition to write down specific dreams on a Dreamcatcher ... but this could probably be used as a Frame for the kid to remind herself to strive after her dreams ...

And may her dreams come true ...

Kids' Art Showcase #9 - Sea Creature #4

From a 9 y.o.
Is it a Jellyfish or a four-tentacled squid?

It's DURAIN season again!! (or coming to an end already)

You should have watched how she ate this durain ....

At the end, she told me that she did not like it ...

She was merely squashing, squeezing and peeling,

as if she was playing with plasticine!

She could have pass it to ME!! I LOVE DURAINS!!

Although it was apparently a waste to me,

it was a "tasty" experience for her ....geeezzzzz ....

What's Daddy's job?

I nearly fainted when I checked my kid's chinese homework (refer to picture above).

It stated :
My Daddy
Name: Lee
His Job: Watch Movies and TV!!!

That is supposed to be my pastime ...

Well, our family had a good laughter over it as well ... and I wish that is my job (but spare me from all the horror movies)!
