Today marks the start of the holiday for the kids. School is officially out for a month and the boys are eagerly looking forward to the upcoming trips and activities that I have planned for June. Our first trip will be to the beach in neighbouring Malaysia. I’m sure we will have a blast there.

1. Do you apologize to your kids?

If it is my mistake I would apologize to them.

2. What color are your nails right now?
Its Au Natural now as I really don’t have the time for repainting my nails as they will surely get chipped as I go about with the household chores and the baby.

3. When you were growing up, how difficult was it for you to stay home from school sick? (As in, did you have to vomit or just say “I don’t feel good”.)
I seldom stayed home from school sick unless I was down with the fever or something really serious. I guess I was rather healthy as a kid back then.

4. When is the last time you bought a new comforter for your bed?

From Photoexpress

We don’t really use a comforter as hubby and I love towel type blankets which are lightweight and keep us cozy in our air-con room.

5. Favorite website(s)?
There are so many websites which I really enjoy visiting besides the usual – Facebook and online newspapers which I read.
Here are some which I blogged about in a previous post on –My Top 10 Commentors

This weekend we are having our general elections here in Singapore. There are many different opposition parties contesting for the seats in various constituencies.

The past nine days there has been rallys held by various political parties at designated open fields all around the island.

Tomorrow, 7th May, is the day that I too will have to cast my vote that will help determine the ruling party for the next 5 years.

1. Have you ever had roommates?
No I never shared a room but I did have flat/dorm mates during University.

2. How many names do you/your children have?

My 3 Kids

They have two names each their christian and their Chinese names. However here on this blog I’m using their nicknames based on the year that they are born in so there is

The Eldest- Monkey Boy( Ryan).- Born in the year of the Monkey (2004)

Doggy Boy (Roy)- Born in the year of the Dog ( 2006)

Tiger Girl (Riona). – Born in the year of the Tiger (2010)

3. Did you watch the Royal Wedding?

No. It was way too long to watch from start to finish. I only caught snippets of it on the telly and in the papers.

4. What is the messiest room in your house?
The kids room. You should see the mess they create in it on a daily basis.

5. What is your ideal mothers day?

It would be one where I get to “rest” and not chase after the kids. A “kid -free” day where I can sleep in and leisurely enjoy my breakfast. A visit to the spa or catching a movie too would be good.

This week I’m grateful that:

– the new washing machine is finally in. I’m so loving this LG washer as not only does it save water but it saves on electricity too.

– I managed to witness Tiger girl reaching an important milestone. She is starting to crawl now at 7.5mths old. She can shuffle backwards pretty quickly now and I anticipate that she will be doing her forward crawl really soon.

– Our kitchen will be fixed up by the end of this month. The leaking sink has given us problems for the past few years and we are finally getting the whole thing replaced.
