Mom’s birthday will be tomorrow, hence the day trip planned. But today we had to deliver her huge present over after M’s school event. This was the first event and I truly appreciate the staff’s efforts working on a Saturday. Half day event but it falls on a weekend and I had such events too back when I was with the institute. It was fruitful for me and the husband with the talk by the Children Society’s counsellor and the Malay workshop by NLB. The Parents’ strength talk was a bit dry and draggy but very relevant. Putting them into actions though will take quite a bit. Of effort. And Practise.
The Malay workshop though was more fun because the speaker was humorous and made it enjoyable to learn. The 3 types of story telling.
1. Story-gami - Telling a story using a paper origami. This would take skills and practice before trying it out on the kid.
2. Draw and tell - More straightforward but can be very intensive storyline.
3. Kamishibai stories - The use of big flash card like pictures to tell a story.
I’m thankful though that M is interested in story books because we tried to bring him to the libraries consistently. He would request for us to read the borrowed books sometimes repetitively. Hope his interest in books would stay.
We went to Mom’s in the late afternoon. And glad that Bro could join and even better helped to get the cake. Surprisingly, this time the Swee Heng Mother’s Day cake was quite tasteful. He called to tell me of the flavors available and I chose the Strawberry Mousse with Chocolate Sponge Cake.
All lighted up by sis.
The greetings was cute too.
Best Mom Ever and I Love You Mom at the bottom.
Siap with border all.
I must share this. Cold Storage sells really affordable fresh flowers.
Bright colourful Gerberas as low as $2 per stalk.
You can easily get 5 stalks and put them in a cup and your whole living room could be so much prettier! Grabbed these lilies at $18 for 8 buds!
Planning to get them for Raya too Insha Allah. 😍
Quite bummed when I realised that we won’t be going to Padini tomorrow but will update on any spree done! Enjoy family time tomorrow!
