Juggling life of mom of two boys and blogging

It's been quite sometimes since I blog about my juggling life as a mom of two boys. Busy in and out of the home to fetch my children from school and also for tuition centers. It's not easy tasks as there's no replacement which time is consumed and immediate action needed for example. Right after school to send to tuition so in the car, he has to eat and changed before going to tuition class. How many transporter or rider would you think that will do this? I don't think there's any especially there's need to change of uniform in car.

There's need of homework guidance and teaching them on study and tough questions to answer on Sean's paperwork. Though I have paid the tuition center to let him to learn but then the tuition center given the papers to him which he is not sure of how to answer, so I need to help him out to answer and also asking him to read and think. It's no longer UPSR but PPSR examination. Chinese papers are not easy and it's even tougher for me as I am not good with Mandarin.

If there's invitation for family events or single invite to events, I would need to think twice or triple about it as I need to consider my children's first. Whether the timing and venue are suitable for me to attend or not and whether I have time for my children or not. It's not easy so most of the time, I would let go the chances.

Sometimes the venue and time are suitable for me, consider it some me time that I can get away for a while before fetching them. Well, never forget mom duties of course and also doing what I love. I am happy that some brands are willing to send me their products for review knowing that I have busy parenting schedule.  I got invited for media trip as well but I got to let it go as I need to fetch my children, both of them now in Standard 1 and Standard 6, important stage of education in Primary School. I always advice/encourage them to read more, write more and speak more in languages. It's always easy to say than doing it.

Besides blogging and social media, I have also started Youtube, you can check out my latest video. Feel free to subscribe to my video.  There's lot to learn in editing and it's a handful of challenge in life, so just doing what I enjoy til I am bored and lose interest of it. In mean time I love what I am doing and keeping it up when I have the time.

How about you?

Mom and son's day out at Genting Highlands

I woke up 5am for this, well the night before I drank tea so it was a long time for me to go to sleep. I am sure if you are not able to drink tea or coffee, you'll know your sleep will be disturb. I must have drank it too late as I know it was late dinner the night. 

My eldest boy is 9 years old, he's knows me well that I love blogging and he's shows the same interest as me. Check out his post on Genting International's Children's Festival, click on the link to read. 

He's poor in BM but he's good in English so he loves to write in English. Somehow I do encourage him to write in BM but he says that he's not doing so well with the keyboard as it takes time for him to type. It would be better for him to write in English and be skillful in keyboard then only move on to BM. 

Last Friday, we woke up early in the morning so that my dear can take us out for breakfast then send us to One Utama to buy Genting bus tickets. From there the counter there's attachment with cable car ticket too. You can also purchase the next day tickets if you like to come back to One Utama by bus. 

I thought it's going to be a long queue for to purchase tickets, it's not. Perhaps it's a Friday not the weekend that's why there are still empty seats in the bus. My son truly happy and enjoy himself during the events. 

We were given a room to stay at First World Hotel, it's a stand room for maximum of 3 pax. I am sure you know how, just push the single beds together and you can accommodate three persons. In the night, he's not sleeping well my guess is he's over excited of the journey and entertainment throughout the night. We watched the Illuminate show at 8.30pm, it's an hour show. My dear came at 9pm so he needs to wait in First World until our show is over. He had to work and go home that's why he's late to meet up with us. 

The night my toddler didn't come along as my sister-in-law takes care of him and also nephew came for a night stay.

Our Saturday morning breakfast at First World Hotel, then we go for gaming as son wants to play. Back in the room, after showered and packing we check out. We wanted to purchase durian ice cream from the mini strawberry farm but it's sold out. However we manage to purchase fresh vegetables back home. There's a culture shop that we can go in but my dear stop us from going in, I am sure you know why, the less you see, the less you buy. 

Reading materials for kids

Good morning, it's Saturday morning the school holiday has started. Most parents like me would have interest to check out online for reading material for kids. It will be a good time to occupy children with reading.

Some of my friends have got their children school holiday plan, I haven't but one of my interest would be having get start my children with reading material, hoping to reading materials will interest them.

Everyone needs a healthy lifestyle, besides outdoor activities don't forget we need indoor activities as well. I find that reading is one of indoor activities that parents can share with their children. My friend with interest to find reading materials for her kids because she likes to read them story in the night before bedtime. She told me that she needs more reading materials, with Internet access we can easily access this website for more reading materials that is suitable for children.

My son has interest in Science, it's good I find that this website with math manipulatives and science manipulatives, reading materials. I find reading is a good time to spend with children, you can have bonding moment with them. Reading together, find the same interest to share and talk about it.

Happy New Year and Happy Birthday

Last Saturday, we head to my bro place as his twin daughters birthday. Time fly, the gals are very talkative now. That's why they started kindergarten last year. As for my toddler, you can see he's very active at the back of this picture above. My bro twin daughters are 3 year old, my toddler is a year older than them but his speech is slower than them. 

I haven't see my 2nd bro's twins for a long time. They are in UK, yeah my family with two set of twins. Both from my brothers, even my eldest sister and elder sister they are twins. They are not identical twins, even my brothers' twins. 

It's going to be a busy year 2015 for me, being a driver to my boys. My toddler starting his kindergarten this year and his big bro going to tuition further away from school. It's a tough year for my son as he's Standard Three, more challenge on studies. He might need to take up extra activities in school maybe drum or badminton or football. He hasn't decide which he has interest yet. 

This morning brought my son to collection prize I won last year. Jaya One I find that there's outdoor parking but sad to say it is all under valet parking so RM8 for that. I didn't park there as it is so expensive, I went parking in jaya school. I didn't park for long hours and out time is free of charge. Waze once again bring me long journey and wrong turns plus wasting my time to find the place. 

Columbia Hospital which is not far from Jaya One, it was a furniture mall. I used to work near there, that time a company near the furniture mall called Infinity2. 

above Disney goodies. 

I also collected the Kidzania tickets I won so I can arrange a day to bring son for his Kidzania. Kidzania a playground or learning ground for children, the place where my son loves.

Talking of New Year, Chinese New Year is next month. Last Saturday night we headed to NSK to shop some cooking needs there for CNY. Yeah price has gone up for the black fungus.

With Internet access we can purchase sweater online, you can also order now if you have interest to shop online.

I visited the website and find the website user friendly and easy to browse. I saw many pictures of different types of sweater offer by this site. My friends with interest to shop for full zip cardigan sweater as easy for them to put it on and remove it.

My friends like to v-neck sweaters, I find this website suitable for her as she can also shop for unisex sizing. She can shop for the suitable sweater for her husband too. They are going on vacation this coming Chinese New Year. They know the country they are going is cold and need to wear sweaters. Since they don't have time to go shopping, they can start online shopping at their home or office.

I like the ladies metallic cocktail sweater, it is short sleeve sweater. My friends do not like black color, I find many color of sweaters she can choose from this website.
