Mountain of Pillows!

Last night I was home with kids, didn't feel like playing but they really wanted me to get up and play...

So this was their way of bringing me in to the game... hehhehe. I just stay put while they run like mad around me! I had no idea they were taking ALL the cushions around the house! aaarrgghhh!!



I'm kinda scared for my life!! hahhaha.. I was sure something was going to pounce on me!













It's a MAD HOUSE!!!


Kitchen Wall of kasyfi's Art

This is our Dry kitchen... we don't cook in here. Since it's all white and bare I decided to start sticking some of Kasyfi's art work up. Hanging kids stuff on the wall also shows them that you appreciate their work and hopefully will encourage them to do more amazing things..! ;D

Just look at that... aawwww...



Taadaaa... and he's only been at school for 5 months..!! *gasp* not gona have enough wall space for everything... hehehhe























I love it..! Livens up the kitchen space a lot...!

Nawi Continues His Helmet Craze

Nawi came up to me ..put this box on his head and said... "Helmet..."


Quite convenient that this box has a window..hehhe









Clever little boy.... ! :D










Fun With Lego


My mum went to UK and I specifically asked her not to buy nonsense toys and gave her a list of acceptable toys to buy for the kids. One of them were Legos. Lego's great coz it's been around for decades and really helps create good imagination. The only thing is, which I forgot to tell my mum, was to look at the age range. The age range for Lego is put there for a reason coz of the size of the parts. The older the age range the smaller the parts.



And so my mum came back with all this lego and a box of Lego for 7-12 year olds. I decided to hide it and thought I'd keep it until they're old enough. BUT the little boys found it.. i don't know how, but they tracked it down!


So no choice... and it was a lazy, chill Sunday, Sam decided to build the Lego car for them.










So here they are putting this delicate thing together. It was all in all, 50% arguing and tugging and whinning and pushing and yelling and the other 50% teamwork and civilised co-operation from the two of them! hahhahah.. it was madness but entertaining for me to watch from a distance.





Looking back at the pictures I don't know how Sam managed to fiddle with all those bits and pieces with Kasyfi hanging around like that..!




























Phew..! almost all done....










Nawi jumps in to watch too... that's when the real fun begins!






Aaawwww... i like this picture.. they look soo cute together...






Yaaayyyeeee....!! Amazing... he did it!! All done!




























Big thank you hug for Bapa...











Well Done Sam...! When times got tough I kept saying to him, "it's Lego for 7-12 year olds Sam... 7-12 year olds!!.... Suck it up...!" hahhahaha :P


NBT Treasure Hunters

The boys' Aunt Suzy is an avid NBT Treasure Hunt participant. This time their challenge was to build a car from recycable items. It was really funny coz I remember in school we were taught quite a bit about recycable materials etc BUT on this day we found ourselves asking, "Rubber bands, are rubber bands recycable??" and "Aluminium foil, is aluminium recycable.....!?!?!?!" hahhahaha... blurrrr....


When they came we managed to cough up satay sticks, small paper plates, a box, sellotape, scissors, etc which ALL just happen to be lying around the house. Seriously, in a normal household you would not get all this lying around. So in a way they chose the right house to raid.

Oh and best of all, my Sammy, the engineer... he also just happened to be lying around at home on a Sunday and was sooooo eager to help. It really jump started his day! lol...



And the final result....!! A hybrid car with cupcake liner headlights...hahhaha..
This design was one of the few to go far distance. Told Sam the good news and he got all proud saying, "Who is your husband..?? Who B, Who..??!!!" ... And this is me, *Roll Eyes*

What A Very Special Movie



If you haven't watched UP you really should. We watched this movie ages ago but Kasyfi wasn't interested in it at the time. I think he was only about 2 years old back then probably. Instead I found myself soaked up in tears just bawling my my eyes out!!! It's just an extraordinarily touching and heart warming story, so very special. Every single detail in the movie links up somewhere towards the middle and end.




Funny, these days we are glued to watching this DVD over and over again, which I don't mind at all. Kasyfi and Nawi are loving this movie a lot. Probably not so much about Carl and Ellie's relationship but more on the journey to Paradise Falls.




These are some of my favourite bits:

This is when Ellie met Carl. Both of them were so into 'The Spirit of Adventure'. This is where Ellie brings Carl into her secret club.




They grew up, got married, bought their childhood clubhouse where they first met and in this clip they had just finished decorating their house and put up their mail box. Carl accidentally marked his handprint but then Ellie added her hand print, in a way saying, 'It's perfect, see!'.








Then life goes on... they live happily married. This is soooo damn sweet. Would you believe it.. even this made me cry!!














This part just kills me!! Here Ellie falls sick and Carl visits her in hospital. OMG!! I was a mess watching this!!






Then Carl decides to fulfil Ellie's childhood dream of living on top of Paradise Falls.




His friend on the trip was Russel. This is Kasyfi's favourite.


So sweet, at the end of the movie Carl awards Russel with his club badge that Ellie had given him when they were kids. OMG!! At this stage I was crying too...aaarrrggghhh... what the hell's wrong with me!!!












Ellie kept a scrap book, and at the end of her scrap book, Carl realises that she had writen a note for him before she died.

*sniff sniff*, tissue tissue!! This really breaks my little heart...!! When I saw this I cried and cried and cried. OMG...!! The writer of this movie is a genius!! A true genius!!








Dearest Sam,


Let's too grow old together happily. You, just loving me and me, just loving you, forever and ever.


Love Heidi
