Our little Juliana is a copycat of her mum & dad when punishing her

My hubby and I used to use rotan to cane our twin boys when they are really beyond control but nvr on his precious little girls . I knw it's double standards but what to do daddy's girls mah. Anyway as the boys grw we chnage our strategy as the cane no longer wrks on their pachyderm (thick skin). So we make the boys do push ups or pumping. This will toughen them up. As for the girls we make them stand corner. I think this has an impact especially on Juliana (3 yrs old). Yesterday I caught her playing with Barbie Doll and a Tesco doll where she scolded Barbie for beating Tesco doll and she punished Barbie by putting her to stand corner just like the way we did on her when she was naughty. Take a look at this video. It really tickles me:

Mummy finally appear on the blog in her convo robe.





Well, due to special request by some aunties who faithfully visit mummy's blog..now you can see our mummy in her convo robe. She wore a long dress made of Saree cloth, orange in colour. How does she look? Too bad my naughty Kokos couldnt join us in her photos. That shows how strict mum and dad can be when it comes to discipline. That's also the secret of success to mum's degree course. Never do last minute work. Be consistent with studies. Mummy used to wake up arnd 12 midnight to study till 3-4am when we were all soundly asleep.

Any plans for the coming school holidays in May?

Well, after the convo I kinda feel very lazy and just looking forward to go for a vacation. Initially thinking only with my hubby just to give ourselves a break. But since next month May will be school holidays, planning to have a family vacation. Yet that would strain the pocket.Already spent so much by self sponsoring for my studies, really hurts to spend for coming holidays.

What are your plans for those of you with school going kids? Or any recommendation on where to go for family holidays? Better still cheap and nice and not too far.

Hooray! I finally grduated and the Convo was great!

It was a very touching moment for me when i reflected how hard it was for me to do my studies while pregnant with Jasmine anad drag on until after confinement. Anyway, i thank God for his great blessings for the great family and friends' support, a great dissertation supervisor as well as a reliable maid whereby I could study with peace of mind while leaving my kids at home with her.

I do hope I've made my parents proud on that night. My hubby, my parents and my little girls were there for the convo and dinner. Initially the twins boys were supposed to be with us but they were curfewed at home for misbehaving at the very last moment. So they stayed with their 'kakak' (my maid) instead their sisters got the chance to go with us.

Besides myself feeling excited on that night look who's more excited....monkeying around the stage after dinner.




Took many pictures but shy to put it on the blog. There was an advertisement of Congrtulations by my University Of Teeside, UK in The Star 5 April, 2008.
Guess which one is me on the list?? Hint hint I'm one of the only two graduates with 1st Class Honours graduate in Applied Rehab.Not bad hoh..sudah tua tua baru nak study.

mummy's convo..dont knw what to wear?

Yup, tmrw is my convo. At last ...after extending 1 extra year from the time I did my degree in Applied Rehab ( when I was pregnant with Jasmine my youngest of four kids. It really feels like AGES.

Feelng very "kan cheong" and excited. Bringing my parents and kids along for my convo to make my parents proud and my kids to look up on mummy as role model.

But dont knw what to wear. Some say better wear pants..more profesional and formal. Some say wear collar blouse, some say wear gown .!
The requirment is wear national costume.

Anyway took few suits of clothings to see which will suit the robe. What did mummies out there wear on their convo?
