Mar 2011: Wushu Test

Jiejie had completed another wushu test in March 2011. 

She passed it! She then elevated to another class... grade 2, I suppose. I didn't ask much. Just too happy to know that she is elevated:). 

Many asked us why Jiejie is attending wushu. Well, she didn't choose it. It was our intention to enroll her, so that the exercise will help to build her confidence level, train her discipline and hopefully, strengthen her health and self-defence. 

But as of now, baby steps, for us and for her. It will be a long way for her to learn the techniques and approaches. 

The centre conducts the test bi-yearly, just to see the students' proficiency level of wushu. Jiejie had been through the test twice (first test was in 2010), hence she had fun than stress this time. 

Besides what is shown below, she also required to do side split, frontal split (both left and right), back arch, vertical jump and shuttle run.

She is attending wushu here. 

Mar 2011: Our Happiness

I am off from work to take care little Bomber today. 

She is inflamed, throat inflamed. 

Together with flu and fever, enough to make her mad,

enough to make me miserable! 

Then I scrapbook this layout in between the tiredness. 

Then I realise how adorable is she, 

how marvels she is in term of achieving each milestone.

How much baby fat lost since then;

how little time I spend with her.

Hence it is a joy to see every single little things of kids.

Lego play; cycling at the corridor; phone fun; 

even seeing her do homework is a joy to me:).

First Saturday of March, we had a staycation in Mutiara Hotal, JB.

A quiet celebration of little Bomber's 1st birthday;

A very short getaway for us to cari makan (literally look for food) 

and jalan-jalan (sightseeing).

It was also

an opportunity for me to relax and watch the kids goofing around, 

simple happiness, big contentment.

When There is Only Little Bomber and Me

...Life seems simpler.

I just need to focus on her needs, stick with her accordingly and well, cook bigger pot of baby food (cause I need to eat too) twice today. I reckon I was too much in the role of mum and wife, too nitty gritty in handling the living of the big boy and the little girl. So much so I feel a lighter self today. I don't need to crack my head of what to prepare for lunch and dinner to attract their appetite; I don't need to repeat my self like a broken CD player at them for doing things that annoy me (ha!); I just think of my self what to eat, what to do and what show to watch. It is just me (and bomber), me (and bomber) and me today! It marvels me! They must be having the same feeling too, get to break away from nagging mama for two days.

I probably exhausted before today? Never think how much alright I am without them. How little I would want to check and call how have they been and enjoy.

They are out of town for "Ching Ming" for about 56 hours. Minus off the working Friday, full Saturday of just Bomber and my self is ...peacefully simpler.

Somehow, I am glad that little Bomber is with me. The fact is she isn't really sticky, it was me who can't devote my whole attention to her. She must be very happy that she owns mama fully today! In fact both of us spend quality time together today. We strolled to market and got her sweet pumpkin and fresh fish meat; trimmed her hair before bathing even though she didn't like it. I literally glued to her most of the time, watching her trying to understand my instruction and improving her walking skill, wobbly though. Best of all, I got a part time cleaner to finish up the dirty work for me! So I have whole full day to make her giggling and giggling to me.

Life is simpler with just little Bomber and me. For once in a blue moon.

So I quickly complete a backlog post:). Best of all, I managed to figure out how to enlarge my image here, wuahahaha!

It reminds me that, life can't be just little Bomber and me for too long.
