Back to school

Today ( Yesterday, I shall say) was the first day for the new academic year. The girls woke up at 5:45am! I couldn't believe my eyes when I got downstairs, they had eaten their breakfast and all set to go to school! Mummy was the slowest for the first day!

Rafeeqa goes to Reception now, she claims that she's not going to the baby class ( the kindy ) any more and goes to a class for big girl! Well, big = 4 years old, lol. She's also very excited as she can wear her new shoes! Actually I love that shoes too, wish they come with my size too.

We ended up arriving school before 7am, not many  pp around so I asked them to pose for me, but you know, in the school, you can tell from Rafeeqa's face:

I just can't wait to listen to all the fun they will soon have with their new class and friends. 

Yap, another thing to share with you. Did you check out the Making Memories blog today? I am so honored to be featured today! Back to February this year, Heng and I went to Vietnam just for a weekend trip, we had a great time without the girls, lots of photo after the trip. I made the album after watching an online video showing how to make grade book, it turned to be one of my favorite book!  I will come back in the morning to post some more pictures of it and let you know how I did it!

Gosh, it's 1am now, I sure need some sleep ... will be back soon!

 

the 100th post

Finally the 100th post, I am definitely not a good blogger, haha.


I was up late watching the grand opening of the Beijing Olympics, it was fantastic! I am so proud that I am Chinese! Well, it was a very busy and packed day yesterday, I had a great session on "Diet, sleep and Exercise --- to raise genius" in the morning which alarmed most of us on how we feed our children and raise our children, definitely something to think about! I made a quick way to RTB to finish my recording for the travel prog during the lunch hour, and met up my lovely colleague Marcela for afternoon tea. Both of us can't believe half of the holiday is gone and we need to be back at school on 20th! I rushed home to pick up the girls coz promised them to -----

"Jerudong Park Playground", yes, the playground.

I guess the best part of this playground is that you don't need to wait for any ride at all, we just arrived there and went on the rides again and again. I didn't take any photo while we were on the boat as I am extremely scared of water ( yes, I can't swim ). The only waiting we had was during the prayer time, the girls waited for 20 mins to ride on the horse, Rafeeqa showed me this "HOW LONG WE HAVE TO WAIT"look:

Well, after all, we had a great time as they referred "girly time with mummy" and Rafeeqa was too tired and fell asleep while we were watching the opening ceremony,lol.

Scrapping side, I have done a few LOs with MM, Melissa Francis and K & Co, these beautiful pp and embelishments:

My favourite things about you

And now, my RAK to give away for this blog entry, I have a few nice kits to give away from my cupcake kit and Jenni Bowlin kit collection. Leave something in the comment, I will draw 3 entry by 16th August.

See you then.

Everyone enjoyed

Yes, I believed that everyone came to the crop party had a good time. Everyone participated in making one layout, altering one file folder and making one card. I have to say that I was really inspired by all the ladies. Though everyone received the same instruction but the finished products were so different and interesting!

It's a shame that I forgot all about taking photo. But I am sure soon all of you will see from Jazz!

Just one more week, school is off... great, isn't it? Renee wants to join the summer school and after that we shall be away for a while. I still need to work on my course which only finishes in end of August! "sign" 

It's absolutely hoooooot out there, so I decided to lazy at home, while Renee is busy with her new digital pet and Rafeeqa is trying to clean her lovely doll--Chloe ( I don't know how exactly she will do it, but she just asked me for some cotton buds, let's see what will happen later...)

I finally managed  to clean up my space upstairs after all these months. Made a trip to Growing Star last Sunday while my dear hubby was away pursuing his racing car career, I bought table, bookshelves and cupboards and now this is how my scrapping place looks like:

I just had enough fighting space with the girls, in front of my white table is their study table, I have to place the two computers as far as possible, if you are parenting two children, you might understand why. I can use my laptop on my new table too! 

I put some of the stuff on the shelves behind my chair, as it's a open shelf, so it's so 

easy for me to just turn, look and grab the things I want to use. The second layer of the shelves now become the display space, I can just leave the new LOs there. Ha, now I am a really happy woman. On top of that, I collected a few boxes from post office last week and my favorite is this:

I have been waiting from amazon since the day I ordered it! The coolest thing about it is the layout cards which came along! I can just bring them anywhere I go, imagine you are in one of the crop party and out of idea, just take one and use! Ha, love it!

The girls are calling now, they need some afternoon tea! Can you believe, I just gave them apples, well, they are growing, so I have to sign off and make them some pancake, I think, actually I am in the mood for that! My book, my coffee and pancake... 

This week so far...

Two days ago, while my little girl was playing computer, she climbed on the table and fell down later by totally forgot she's actually on the table not the chair! The result of that: 2 stitches on the chin, not too bad. She's able to ride her bike the next early morning and happy to found a big snail in the garden.

3 days off last weekend but ended up nothing ( no scrapping ) for me at all! Yesterday afternoon, knowing hubby was on the way home after 3days' away, I was kind of in the joy and completed this:

" I always catch two of you together in singing, dancing, drawing, acting, playing silly, screaming, shouting, fighting, even in this QUIET moment." used jenni bowlin's sticker label for journaling.
