Rainy

It has been raining practically everyday now in Klang Valley. And I love to watch rain drops. Now I can see them in a different perspective. From bottom up, from our car porch.

I had purposely punch a hole in the car porch roof to welcome more natural light into the car porch and the house. So with a sheet of glass, we now can watch the rain and the lovely plant from 'beneath'.

When I saw the circles hitting the glass, I said 'Nice!'

My Jien heard it.

So everytime he saw me gazing the rain drops, he would say 'It is nice, mama!'

Copy cat! ;)

Pom Pom

Lately, my younger son Jung is just so extra cute and funny.

He is slow in 'talking' but lately he could finally speak more like 'this one', 'apple', 'nana' (banana), 'yes' 'no' 'up' 'dun' (down), and one of them is 'pom' ...

Every evening, aunt-N (maid) will shower him. But when he saw us (aka, me/hubby) all getting ready to go into the bathroom, he would want to pull down his pants and diaper so that he can 'pom-pom' AGAIN. This time, in the bath tub.

We have a big one at home, it is a FUN playground for him. It is coincidental, that we have this big tub, a cast-insitu terrazo tub. We have that big space after extension and I can't be having a huge shower for not much of purpose. And of course in the back of our mind, we want the kids to have fun in the bathroom, they love water!

At first, we thought of buying the standard ones in the market. But a standard one is so small, too small for both of them. So we thought, ok, look for a double-size ones - but hang on, the price is not doubled, it is almost 4 to 5 times more expansive!

So after talking to my contractor of what I like, we decided - terrazo!

It is not too slippery and we can build it to the max of the space! So now all 4 of us can go in and it is still roomy!! ;)

So there u go, the 'pom-pom' time now always stretch to a good half an hour or more but it sure is a fun and memorable time!

Renovation. Bits

The other day, we brought along our eldest son to our new house to be.

There were loud bangs of hammers hammering and shattering the walls; echoing in the hall full of debris, timbers, grilles, etc. My boy went 'What is that mama, what is that mama?' and he just covered his ears all the time, frightened.

We only uttered this:

'Remember? Restaurant Makeover ( A programme we watched in Astro 703 AFC) ?'

He instantly got it, get his hands off his ears and pretty much enjoying himself there, INSTANTLY.

:P
