CUCI GAMBAR

19th October 2009, Monday Evening 

I went to a photo shop to develop photographs this evening with Zhen, and I was talking to the man at the shop in Cantonese...

Me: Ngor oi sai seong (I want to develop some photos)
Zhen: Mummy, erase photo can do at the computer, why come here ?

ZHEN'S COLOURING

14th October 2009, Wednesday Evening

I was looking at the artwork of the kids in Zhen's kindergarten.  It was a picture of an Indian girl preparing the 'kolam'.  I noticed that Zhen's work is slightly different from the rest.  She coloured the bucket of sand using a few different colours.  Whereas the others coloured the bucket of sand in one colour only.

I asked her why did she colour the bucket this way?  Any reason that she coloured it using a few different colours?  She doesn't know how to explain the reason... and by pointing at her head, she said... "because I used my brain" ;D

KOLAM

16th October 2009, Friday Night

My neighbour were preparing the 'kolam' for the Deepavali festival tomorrow.  Zhen joined in and had some fun!!

WRITING CHINESE

12th October 2009, Monday Night  

While doing her homework, Zhen had all the strokes wrong, in writing her Chinese characters. Hence I corrected her on. She still made the same mistakes after that.
 
Me: Girl, you’ve got the strokes all wrong!

Zhen: Never mind, mummy, the teacher won’t know…

JOGGING

9th October 2009, Friday Evening
I went jogging with my elder daughter.  Zhen only ran a short distance, she wanted to rest.  Again after running for a short distance, she rest again… finally we finished 1 round around the lake. Then I wanted to go for a 2nd round… it has been a long long time since I last exercise and it was a nice feeling “sweating”... ;D
  LZ: Mummy, don’t jog, let’s walk
Me: Ok, u walk, I jog
LZ: Afterwards you tired
Me: I’m not tired
LZ: Afterwards if you are tired, you don’t complain, ok ?
( hmmm.... wonder who’s the mum here? ) 
After jogging/walking about 1 1/2 round…
Me: Yeah, 2 rounds
LZ: Yeah, 1 round… 2 rounds = tired !
