10-year old

Trust me, kids can be very, very, very adorable!! From the things they say to the things the do, they always give you a tingling surprise! And what value most is the element of innocence in it. I have a 10-year old at home, extremely cheeky, very active and nonetheless talkative. Whenever he misses me and doesn’t see me at home, he will write lovey-dovey notes and put them on my desk...like “Sister, I love you!” or give me presents from his school artwork. Over my cupboard alone, I have a tiny drawer which he made and painted in the Living Skills class, a tissue cover sew by him, a few portraits of me or us he painted with water colors, crayon and everything. He’s a great talent in the field of art. Really! Once, I was just saying how much I miss my bf and what this kid did next was truly an unbelievable surprise: He drew a picture of me sitting on the chair and my (fat) bf on his knee, with a ring in hand! How romantic is that!

Anyway, earlier I blogged about “coin box issue” here, you may read that first before you continue this part. I bought him a coin bear, small...in yellow one cause I couldn’t find any other “boyish color” or in bigger size. Each day, he will put aside a little change and to drop them in the bear when he comes home. And on days when he finishes his 10 bucks pocket money, he will get a few bucks worth of coins from dad/mum/my wallet/purse and drop them in.

Last week, I got him a bigger coin bear and immediately, he ‘exported’ all the coins from the tiny bear to the new “better looking” bear.

Since the new bear consists of 3 compartments, the head, the body and the ka-ch’ng, he makes 3 labels and sticks them on the bear:  the 10 cent, 20 cent & 50 cent. Now, talk about organization skills, it’s in our family blood;p

What he did next was even cuter-beyond-description. Notice the tiny Ultramans surrounding the two coin bears? I asked him, “What are your mini Ultramans doing there?” And he replied, “To safeguard the bear coin bears!” WTF!!! I didn’t know what else to say, you tell me, how not to love kids especially this particular 10-year old?

p/s: This chubby-listic kid says he’s saving up to get me a pair of heels for my birthday. Let’s see J

Cheng Beng Month

“Yay!~ Bryan is coming back tonight and for the past hour I’ve been begging him to bring me Royce - the chocolate wtf I was first “exposed” to this chocolate by my cousin, who never fail to get a box or 2 each time he visits KL. So far, I think only Isetan has it, elsewhere maybe but I’m not sure. Does anyone know where I can possibly get it in Penang?“

I want to share some news. This morning, my neighbour’s kid met with an accident at the Bandar Baru Area. If you know me well enough, you will know where my favourite laksa stall is located. Just around that corner, he was knocked down by a motorcyclist I heard... it was still dark and early, like 7am or something....and we wonder what he was doing there at that hour... He’s Form 3 by the way...and during the incident, his parents were still sleeping soundly until some random passer-by got hold of his IC, came to his house and woke his parents up.

We still haven’t hear from the family themselves now...but some people say the kid had gone from excessive bleeding. May God bless his soul and stay put with this family through this tough time. The worst thing that could happen is the lost of loved ones. Cherish them while they are still around.

People say during Cheng Beng’s month, some roads might be “dirty”....as in “haunted” by spirits or some restless souls coming back to cause havoc. Honestly, I don’t buy story like this but some times it’s hard to deny or not-to-believe.  What we can do is to remain extra cautious at all times...which is why my parents forbid me from riding a bike...it’s more risky, they say.

On the same note, I received news of another death. This time, it’s my friend’s father. Real cause I’m not sure but most probably due to old age. This is unavoidable so love your parents, respect them, and accompany them while they are still around. To ML, stay strong! God bless us all.

My mood is down...too melancholic...too fast, too many deaths of dear people in one morning.
