Writer’s Workshop: Very Fun Being a Kid

The Kids playing

The Kids playing

Being a kid is certainly a lot of fun.  The world is so big and interesting and there are so many things which you can discover. Every day is a learning experience and one can indulge in all the fun activities  day in and day out. There is no need to worry about anything and playing part of your JOB as a kid.

Sometimes one really wish that  it is possible to go back to being a kid and be free of all the worries and stress of being an adult.

Here is a list of 10 things which I miss about being a kid.

1. Getting to eat whatever I want and not having to worry about putting on weight.

2. Being able to play the whole day.

3. Getting presents and treats all year around.

4. Being able to say.. “Mummy/Daddy carry me” and get out of having to walk the whole distance home from the supermarket.

5. Getting to go out with friends after school to have fun.

6. Being easily satisfied and enjoying the simple things like a packet of potato chips.

7. Not having many responsibilities

8. Going on holidays every school holiday.

9. Getting ferried everywhere by my parents instead of having to drive myself and the kids everywhere now.

10. Being able to fall asleep anywhere and you will “magically wake up in bed.

What do you miss about being a kid?

Writer’s Workshop: Keeping Track of July

July has certainly whizzed pass us.  The past month the kids were back in school and I had been kept busy with their new routine. Monkey boy has been selected for intensive badminton practice in school and has to go for CCA twice a week. That means 4hrs of practice with the coach weekly.

After spending a whole month on holiday everyone needed to get into high gear again.  Fortunately the kids were quite adaptable and there wasn’t any back to school blues for them.

Tiger girl had her first manicure and pedicure at the grand old age of TWO. Kids nowadays are really privileged!! I have to wait till I was working before I had my first manicure and it was done just before the wedding 12 years ago.

We celebrated my mum’s 64th birthday too this July with a simple dinner. She ordered her favourite Escagot which she hasn’t eaten in awhile.

Prata and Curry

The kids have been having their fair share of yummy prata. It is the  Indian dish which all 3 kids love to eat. I personally prefer eating Thosai to having prata. Paper Thoasai is my absolute favourite.

The kids and I have been doing more cooking at home as part of their holisitic learning experience. We used milk and cheese from Greenfields to make some yummy foods.

How was your July?
