chien's creation

"Kids grow up unconnected to their creative spirit," Wagner says. Giving kids a chance to do art, he believes, taps the vein of their elemental creativity -- a force that will help them learn, interact, work, and play throughout life.

Chalk drawing by YiChien.


Try drawing on black paper - the effect is amazing.


Crayon

Be creative in what they are to draw. Don't focus on just one thing. Draw many different things.
Hold on to everything that they make. What may not seem very appealing to you may turn into a piece of art that many people love. "One man's trash is another man's treasure"!!

Dinner Time:

A paper cup be the legs of table,

A sponge be the table surface,

and some food...

'Honey Dad...'- My lovely kids address their daddy.

I am glad to have a hubby who always spend time with the kids. They are proud to have a lovely dad as well.

We have dinner together everyday. Daddy jokes, shares his topics with us.
The kids keep talking and tell daddy what they have done on the day....

Daddy is busy, he doesn't allow himself to be free. He keeps himself busy of gardening, keeping fish every evening. And the important task is playing with the kids and teaching them about the nature life......
They catch caterpillars, butterflies, insects, ants and sometimes snakes. I feel disgusting but luckily their dad does it. They learnt a lot from him.

Sick:Cikungunya

A lot of people having chikungunya(基孔症) in this season....

Yes, I 'm the lucky one as well.....

Past story ( April 20....) But the pain wont go until now...

Wednesday:
I was having fever and it caused rashes and joint pain.
When i woke up at 1am, i felt a little painful of joint, but it became worse at night.

Thursday:
The next morning (Thursday) i couldn't get up and stand , Wei(my little pretty sister) fetch me to Penang General Hospital. I did blood test for Denggi and Chikungunya. But they showed negative. The doctor said that was normal fever.
I took rest at my mom house. So, I missed out Chien's homeschooling lesson. I took Panadol pill.
When Eddy came back from work, he bought me new medicine which is more powerful.
Eddy helped me to apply YokoYoko for joint paining. It worked. The fever gone but the still felt the painful of joint.

Friday-
I could do some house hold chores on Friday.

Saturday:
Hooray!!! Recovered.

Sunday:
In the morning, i got rashes suddenly, I went to Public Clinic (Sungai Ara). The doctor suspected Chikungunya. The likely symtom. I planned to go for checking the next morning.

Monday:
I went to clinic Jalan Tenggah to do blood test again. The same thing happenned, that was not Chikungunya. Fever. It made me worried.
The grateful thing is Chien helped me up. She took care of Zhern.
She knew that I was unable to walk as normal. She helped me for taking medician.
"Thanks, Yi Chien, I love you."
Chien had to stay back at school for her computer class the next morning. I told her I would not able to send her the bento for lunch. So I prepared bread for her. She agreed. Yes, she is thoughtfully. "Good girl."

Tuesday:
My legs swelled up, I went to G.H. again at 12am with my dad, (thanks, papa).
I admitted. But I discharged the next afternoon with nothing serios......

Heard from others, this is the symtom of Chikungunya.

Joint pain,Fevel,Rashes and swell .

Yummy Sushi

Happy Dumpling's day

Yun Zhern likes dumpling very much, but Yi Chien doesn't like it at all. She is a food picker whereas Yun Zhern like a "sampah tong"(Garbage bin), what I always comment on it.

Yun Zhern refused to put the dumpling in the plate. He said he can manage to hold in hands and eat, like what the "coffee shop"uncle did. Because my dad went there with him.

He has very good motor skill. He managed it very well.

Children need a lot of skill practise.

For mums, don't scared of messy and dirty. Let them try on.

Messy and dirty can be clean up, whereas timing of learning will not turn up again......

Breakfast

Enjoy.....

Household chores

Chien and Zhern enjoy mopping the floor when I was busy at the kitchen.


They used cloths and a pail of water to do the job. They did it quietly because planned to surprise me.







When it was done, they called me. YUP, they did a good job.

THANKS !!!! LOVE!!!!
