Top 10 Things About my Car

the car

This is the 4th car new  which we bought since we got married.  Back then in 2008 we wanted to get an economical Japanese car to accommodate our growing family. We  decided on a seven seater so that the car could easily accommodate all the car seats that we may need in our car.

  1. It’s a Toyota and cost lesser to maintain then some fancy Eurpoean car.
  2. It’s a really cool shade of light green (Doggie boy’s favourite colour)
  3. It’s really economical and we can get about 450km on a full tank of 40L of petrol.
  4. It gets everyone where they want to be in the morning and saves me time/money having to fork out extra to arrange for school buses for the younger kids.
  5. The third row seats fold flat under the 2nd row so that it’s possible to stack in 3 kiddy bikes when we go out to the park.
  6. I like the flexibility that it gives me to bring the kids out to places to where I would like to bring them. It would be really chaotic to bring all of them out by public transport without anyone helping out.
  7. I like the fact that there are cup holders for each seat and a space to put my handbag next to me when I am driving.
  8. There are little pockets all around where you can place toys/books for the kids to keep them occupied in the car. ( No TV or handheld games are allowed while the car is in motion).
  9. It has sliding doors so it is easy to get the kids out even if we park in tight spots.
  10. My mom has the exact same car as mine but in a different colour.

How is your car like?

Yummy Birthday Treats on a Friday

Chocolate Brownie
On Wednesday I had a great 34th birthday celebration. This year I decided to bake myself a chocolate brownie cake to share with friends and family.  I initially wanted to make a Tiramisu cake but realized that some of the ingredients which were needed were missing at the last minute. I’ll save making the Tiramisu or change it to a Chocomisu and bake it next week instead. The kids loved eating the brownie.

It was the first time that Tiger girl too took a bite of the brownie. She normally passes on all the bakes that I make. I guess that it must have been super yummy for her to get her stamp of approval on it. My friends who I met for lunch too liked the brownie.

Firehouse ice-cream

Tea was spend with my mum and we went to Swensons for their firehouse birthday special.  It felt nice to have a mother child bonding session with her without the kids. It has been a long time since both of us went out together on a mother daughter outing.

Sushi

I ended up the day with having dinner with R at Itacho Sushi at the airport. The food was really yummy but a bit pricy. It was great to finally be able to have some couple time with him.

It was really great to have time to spend  my time with my friends and family without the distraction from the kids.

How was your week?
