Study Buddy

Meet Chico, our 7th member of the family, and Hazrin's loyal study buddy.
He's so loyal a study buddy, he may just end up graduating with Honours too....Heheeh

Nak SKATEBOARD!!!!!

Skateboards are the twins' new craze now. They've been persistently bugging me to get them one each.
Problem is, they're a tad bit too small to pick up skateboarding just yet.
I've been relentlessly turning down their requests, but I wonder if my patience will last.

For one thing, I've been the only one refusing them......Cos everytime I needed Hazrin to back me up, all he could afford was a wicked grin.....
An avid skateboarder himself during his teenage years, he emphatized with the twins' interest. And that wicked grin was a testimony to his great desire to relive his younger days, and bond with his kidz in the way he knew best - Skateboarding!
He was seemingly flattered that the twinz have inherited his love for that sport, and was unadmittedly wishing that he could teach them (or show off, rather ) all the tricks of the trade, unperturbed by the fact that they may get hurt.

But then again, we've always brought our children up to be adventurous. Rock climbing, swimming, cycling, jungle trekking and other impromptu adventure outings have always occupied our weekends anyway, and getting hurt has been part and parcel of their growing up.

So maybe I should just let them have the boards..... Afterall, I know they will be in the hands of a professional.......

Sometimes I wonder why some creatures get to lay eggs, and mammals like us have to go through all those birthing woes. It would be neat to lay eggs......Then you wont have to worry about bursting water bags, contractions, endless pushings and breast engorgements.
All you have to do is wait for the egg to hatch.


And if hatching is a long time coming, daddy can always use his light saber......

Cycling trips are still manageable now, but we expect things to be more kecoh when Sufi and Fazli finally graduate from their first class seats. Imagine the whole lane hogged by this family of six



We'll see how it goes..... If cycling gets too rowdy, we can always go back to child labour HAHA

Why First Aid is essential.....

Movies at the Padang

After 2 hours, the sun went down and it was time for Movies at the Padang.

The kids were hounding us, 'Apasal lambatnyeeeeee??? No reasons we gave were good enuff for them.So when the movie finally started, we thought they would be satisfied and finally quieten down but....NO. This time it was, 'Tak nampak lah. Orang tu besar sangat lah!!!' Our picnic neighbours were sort of amused with our antics cos we were all constantly shifting from one end of the mat to the other. We were sooo busy!Apparently, the twinz discovered that the best seat was on my lap. So Faiz ended up perched on my lap for the good next 2 hours, and Faris had an even better seat on Sham's lap. As for the 2 tounger ones, a packet of chips did the trick.....They ate the night away, lost in their own world.
