My boys also got affected by the Raya mood. They go “asalamalaikummmm” all around the house last night with their “end-of-pants-songkok” (I call it this way ‘cos it is really made from the end of pants cut from jeans).

I’ve done it again
Yay!! I’ve done another scrapbook page last nite. On top of that, I’ve added the word SWEET on my previous page. That is after much tracing and cutting and gluing.. I hope the glue really stick the photos and wording there ‘cos it seems that it is not that strong.. or is it suppose to be like this? Someone please tell me. (I’m using a flu pen which turn blu when wet and clear off when dry, but it seems that it dry off very quickly.)
Here.. below are the pages that I’ve done last nite, still no journalling yet.. 😦
Final product
Yupe.. as it says, I’ve done my final product last night when the boys are out with my mom and sis. Hey, it was a relief for me knowing that it would be my best time to do my scrapbooking while they were away, without any disturbances and distraction, and I’ve got what.. 1 and a half hour? That would be enough to finished off the page. But I still hope to put wording on my page, wait till I got the alphabet sticker lar.. oh ya.. and the journalling too.. cos I don’t have the pen yet.
Finally …
Yes, finally I’ve started my real scrapbooking with the right kind of materials, but I’m already in a dilemma on whether I should put photo A here or there.. and if I should cut my card-stock, whether I should use the ribbon like this or that..
I guess you’ll be asking where did I get my srapbooking materials. Found it in a craft shop in Wisma Merdeka, on 2nd floor of the ‘new’ phase. But they don’t sell the album 😦
Before putting myself down in doing scrapbooking, I need to make sure that the boys are not disturbing, meaning they are either sleeping or not in the house with me. So last night wasn’t a good start, ‘cos I was too eager to start doing scrapbooking and I didn’t wait till they were sleeping, so these two brothers with their ever curious-selves were there demanding to look at this and that, touch this and that.. buoy.. I ended up shouting at them, so bad huh.. then finally they went to bed after much westling over the potty, the milk and their mommy.
So now I’ve two layout to decide on, which do you prefer? I will put more things on the page, like ribbons, cut out wordings..etc.
So, people, which do you prefer? or you’ve better idea, please let me know. Thanks a bunch.
Telephone conversation
“Is Cal sleeping? No? Get him over to the phone please..”
The babysitter goes…”CAL… here.. ur mommy on the line..”
“Mommieeeee…., you get me chocolate and lolipop ya…”
“Huh? You always ask for that.. but mommy is not outstation.”
“Ya.. but mommy get me the rolipop when you go on the plane ya…”
“But mommy is NOT going on a plane.. What are you doing over there? Did you sleep?”
“Yupe. oledi sui jiao (sleep in mandarin).”
“What’s is DiDi (little Mer) doing over there?”
“He is putting his head on the bed.”
“Huh? Is he is sleeping?
“No.. his eyes are open and he just put his head on the bed.”
“Were you kwai (good-boy) today?
“YES!!”
“Alright, bye-bye..”
“Bye-bye..”
This is just to fufilled my promise to Cal that I’m going to call him at 4 just now.. he even said that he wants me to call him in school too. Well, if I’ve promised him and yet I didn’t call him, he’ll nag me about it later tonite and even remember it days later.
The photo below was taken last year in China.. they were just playing with the phone there.. but not for long, else will need to get a new phone.
And just few days ago, I let him call his grandpa all by himself and after that he remember the number, probably his grandpa is his bestfriend.. *sigh* (instead of me..)
A day in the farm and river
I know.. they are posing for the camera.. “The big guy” – Cal, asked for the trip to the farm the other day and wanted to go to the nearby river, that of course include stepping into the river instead of just watching it. As for the “little guy” – Mer, anything the brother did, he’ll just follow and even more creative.
With my own strenght, I don’t think I can carry them down or lead them down to the farm below the hill from where we stay, so I got big sis to help out carrying the little one down and I lead Cal down there. Mom was in the farm as usual working on some scrub.
Before going there, I need to get a towel ready to chase away any mosquito and also just in case they wet themselves in the river, at least I’ve got a towel to dry them off.
They enjoyed it pretty much, but one thing I don’t understand is why little Mer likes to thraw stones pick from the river banks… he just pick them up and thraw..
The 2nd time we went there on last Saturday, Mer did the same again, thrawing stones.. This time, I got them in swim suits cos the water is much cooler cos it rains the day before, plus I wanna try how they look in their swim suit.. too bad, didn’t bring the camera with me… still .. they had enjoyed it and surely wanna do that again.
Having fun with drawing
Yupe, the boys like to draw on anything including their faces, this is one of the evidence in photo. Taken in November last year in Shen Zhen when we went over to visit my hubby.
Kids.. they only know that drawing is fun and they don’t care where is the drawing board. The fun part is the drawing itself but the hard part was getting it off their faces, well, at least they have enjoyed it 🙂
