Kung Fu Panda Craze

Kung Fu Panda 1 was an excellent movie and although it was only a cartoon, there were much to learn. So, when we heard that Kung Fu Panda 2 was up in the cinema, we were determined to watch in the cinema. It was equally awesome.

After the cartoon, McD came out with kung fu panda toys for happy meals and the children were eager to get those toys. We collected most of them and then my eldest son sketched each character in his notebook. I thought they looked good (they always look good to the mother) and I knew I had to post the pictures here.

Keep up the good work, Karl!

A Polystyrene Craft

This was something my eldest son did when we bought our new refrigerator. He took all the polystyrene, did some cutting and pasting and came out with this. What is this, you may ask. I'm not sure myself but it looks like a sledge to me. What do you think?

My Car Repair Experience

When it comes to car maintenance or car repair, I would pass it to my husband. He knows more about cars than I do. One day, he asked me to drive my car to the service center and to leave it there for repair as he had an appointment that day.

I drove there, took my number and waited. When it was my turn, the lady at the counter took me to a technician. I told the technician about how difficult it is for us to close the doors from inside and that I would appreciate if he could adjust or repair the doors for me. He looked at the doors and said it was possible to make some adjustment but afterwhich wind and rain would sip into the car through the doors. So, I called hubby and hubby thought that the technician was not professional enough. The lady then took me to try other cars of the same models and she tried to convince me that there was nothing wrong with my car doors.

Frankly, I hated all these because I knew nothing about cars and I do not know if they were giving me excuses or they did not know how to solve my problem. I returned home without doing anything and hubby went to the service center to see the manager. Now, altough the problem is solved, I keep thinking what would happen if hubby is not around. Maybe I would not give myself any excuses and would be able to handle everything including cars. Well, come to think of it, it isn't that difficult. I just have to go online to search for more information, compare prices and service and find the right service center.

DIY Stationery Holder

What do you think of this craft? It's a stationery holder which we made from cardboards. It's pretty simple actually. What you need are some cardboards, glue and some paint.

The princess is not made from cardboards but a toy and we put it there to make the stationery holder look nicer.

Chinese New Year Craft

This is a nice craft and it made a very beautiful Chinese New Year decoration. According to tradition, there should be seven fishes but we made five, symbolizing the five family members in our family. We did this during a Chinese New Year celebration. It was an activity for the whole family and we really enjoyed doing it.

Home on the Range

People around me migrated one by one to other countries to pursue better lifestyle and better education for their children. Sometimes, I do wish I could migrate too for the future of my children. I love living in the countryside where the horses roam, in a house surrounded by beautiful trees and flowers and fresh air everyday.

How nice it would be to see my children running around outside the house, riding horses and ponies when they are free and if they do ask for a pet, I would say, “Here, take this pony or horse and give him a name.” I would then seek for pony insurance services to advice me on what type of pony insurance or horse insurance to purchase in order to keep them safe. With the high and increasing vet fee, it is essential for us to purchase horse insurance if we do keep horses. If any accident were to happen to the horse, at lease it is covered.

If only I could have my home on the range.

Our Very Own Safari and Aquarium

It's always good to see children indulging in something other than the computer games. Art and craft has been my boys' favorite pass time besides the computer games. These two were done with certain help from me but the animals were their own creations.
