Knight In Shining Armour July 28, 2010
Posted by Zara's Mama in : bitching , 8 commentsThere’s a knight, who does not do much.
He grooms himself, and he looks smart.
There’s the maid who cares for two dames,
She works twenty four by seven, no rest, and three hundred sixty five days;
teaching, cooking and whatever chores.
With all the work and no rest, imagine the strain.
At times the dames misbehaved, and the maid screams (Oh, maybe a tad too harsh).
The knight will then put on his shining armour, and gallops in with his white white horse.
“I shall save thee from the wicked one!” he declared; and stirs up a storm.
Making him the dames’ hero, and the other, the crook.
The knight then just gallops off, since he’s said his piece.
The maid goes on, although beaten and crushed, to work on whatever that needed to be done.
If the maid was swearing and cursing so much, maybe she’s too stressed, don’t you think?
The dear knight should have taken pity and start rolling up his sleeves,
Instead of just trotting in only in his shining armour and to do the ‘save the damsels in distress’ stunt.
>HGH Spray< July 27, 2010
Posted by Zara's Mama in : girls' angpow , add a commentI’d been feeling so tired lately with all the work (from the office) and the stress I get from home. Zara is getting a bit rebellious, and it’s getting difficult to discipline her.
I can see myself aging very quickly due to all these, and I think now the HGH pill that I’m taking is not working as efficiently. High time I switch to HGH Spray which is supposed to absorb quicker and work better.
>Best Fat Burning Exercise<
Posted by Zara's Mama in : girls' angpow , add a commentIt seems the best fat burning exercise for the tummy is not just doing sit up or tummy crunches. I read somewhere if you want effective fat burning on your abdomen, you warm your hands by rubbing them together and then massage the abdominal area, this way, it will increase blood circulation around the tummy, and increase fat burning.
I should start trying this soon too.
Morbid Zaria July 26, 2010
Posted by Zara's Mama in : Zaria, chitter chatter , 13 commentsZaria is a cheeky girl, but a little morbid at times..
Daddy was talking to me in the car, and Zaria wanted to say something to Zara, and so she told Daddy, “Daddy you stop talking!!! STOPPPPPPPPPP…”
Daddy told her, “I talk to mummy, you talk to jiejie, why must I stop?” and he continued talking to me.
Zaria shouted from the back, “I said stop!!!!! I cannot concentrate if you are talking. If you talk some more, I’ll buy some firecrackers and put in your mouth!”
o.O”
(Later, we asked her where did she learnt how to put ‘firecrackers’ in the mouth, she said it was in her Donald Duck show, where don’t know who put dynamite into Donald’s mouth.. See.. Disney cartoons do teach you violence too!)
We were talking about being a doctor, and Zaria said, “If someone cough cough cough until cannot stop. Then I’ll cut her neck and take out the cough!”
o.O”
I was showing Zaria a bracelet from Mom’s Little Treasure Box that I’d ordered for the girls.
Zaria asked, “Where is the bracelet now?”
I told her it’s still with Dinah.
Zaria asked, “In Auntie Dinah’s house?”
I replied, “Ya….”
Zaria said, “If Auntie Dinah don’t give us, then I’ll…. *she put her hand on her neck and did the slicing motion across her neck, then stuck out her tongue*”
o.O”
I was helping her at the toilet, she said, “Maaa… my she-she is so yellow.”
I said, “Aaah.. told you to drink lots of water right? See.. don’t drink water so your she-she is yellow.
Zaria replied, “Nooo.. My she-she yellow because I drink a lot of chrysanthemum.”
o.O”
She has a very fierce temper, when she’s unhappy, she’ll beat Daddy (it’s always him who became her victim), mess up the furniture and once, she even threw food from the dining table. When she behaved in such a manner, I’ll use the cane (actually it’s a big chopstick) and give her a stroke. Nowadays, she’ll cry after I smack her and say, “You want to leave me another cane mark, is it!!!???”
o.O”
>Wholesalers<
Posted by Zara's Mama in : girls' angpow , add a commentI love to go to wholesaler to get my groceries. They are cheaper, and the produce are fresher (but of course for vegetable, getting direct from the farmer is still the best).
So whenever I could, I’ll try to look for whole seller for the stuff I’m looking for, e.g. fish, chicken, eggs, rice.
Besides Selayang, do tell me if you are aware of any more places which we can find wholesalers.
>ATV Riding<
Posted by Zara's Mama in : girls' angpow , add a commentI’d tried riding on an ATV (All Terrain Vehicle) before in Sunway Lagoon Extreme Park. The atv riding was fun, but it wasn’t easy controlling the ATV.
One girl in the group who went before us got a massive bruise on the leg, she fell it seemed. One lady in my group couldn’t control the ATV, so she had to abandon it half way and walked back.
I sure don’t mind doing it again, but I think you need some guts to operate that thing.
Wow, We Spent More Than 4hrs At Petrosains! July 19, 2010
Posted by Zara's Mama in : girls' angpow, going places, my two girls, notable , 12 commentsWhen I told Daddy I wanted to meet my friend who’s back from Hong Kong for holidays with her children in Petrosains, he was skeptical about the place. I too was thinking what there was to do.
I was there with my nieces and nephew more than 8 years ago, and we really didn’t think it was nice. However, this was more of a trip to meet up with my friend, and not so much about enjoying Petrosains.
I met my friend and her sister at the entrance of Petrosains with her two sons plus her two nephews and her niece. 7 children and 4 adults all in, what a group!
We bought the family ticket, RM24 for 2 adults and 2 children, although Zaria is below 4, and is free, it still worked out to be cheaper buying the family ticket than individual ticket. We entered Petrosains after our lunch, and didn’t think we would spend so much time there.
Let the photos do the talking.
Six children trying to build a track with tubes so they can see balls roll through.
Some of the tubes actually curvy like Kohler kitchen faucets.
Zaria trying in vain to ‘catch’ a hologram car. She said, “It’s magic!”
There were lots of Information Panels, and computers throughout Petrosains, and Zaria loved pressing on the buttons and checking out what they each did.
Zara and her new friend trying to move around iron dust with magnets.
Look who’s an astronaut? You can actually take a photo of yourself, and see your face displayed as the suspended dummy astronaut’s.
Zara’s thermal scan.
Pulleys and tubes, and conveyor belts formed this play area for children (and adults) where they see how little metal beads travelled in a loop.
This is my favourite, the interactive art. Where the images projected on the screens moved and ‘reacted’ accordingly to your body movement.
Girls here were trying to make the butterflies stand on their shoulders.
Catching falling crystals.
Feeling the different viscosities of different oil.
My friend’s son trying to find out how fast the balls he threw travelled, and at what momentum they hit the wall.
Girls trying to race in an F1 race.
Zaria and myself driving our own F1 cars. I did extremely badly as the car was hard to control with such power. Zara told me, “If you cannot drive this car, then I think you cannot drive a real car”
Zara’s turn, she could hardly reach the pedal, but that’s not stopping her.
I don’t know how this work, but you put on a strap (with electrodes) on your forehead and try to use your mind to resist the ball from being pushed to you. My friend’s son (the champ of this game) and myself having a go here, he beat almost every contestant, including me, but I gave him a strong fight, lasting quite long.
Girls and me in a Hurricane Chamber, the girls didn’t like it, and when the ‘wind’ started being slightly stronger, they ‘escaped’.
My friend had to rush through some of the activities because she had a dinner to attend.
There are lots of other things to play with or try out which are not shown here. We tried the earthquake stimulator, helicopter simulation, etc etc. And before we knew it, we spent more than 4hrs in Petrosains!
The girls were exhausted and since we wanted to have dinner around KLCC, we brought them to Coffee Club at Kinokuniya to nap, while we had tea.
After a short nap, we brought the girls to the KLCC play ground, to play some more.
With all this time spent in KLCC, our parking came up to RM19! o.O”
Dinner was just us at Hakka Restaurant overlooking KLCC.
>SAHM vs WFHM<
Posted by Zara's Mama in : Uncategorized , 2 commentsBeing a stay at home mum is difficult, but being a work from home mum is even more difficult.
People think you can run errand during working hours, you do all the things that a stay at home mum does, e.g. chauffeuring the kids to school and activities, home work coaching, ensure all meals are taken care of, etc etc.
And then, at work, you need to work extra hard so that your peers or boss don’t think you are lazing just because you work from home.
But the ones I salute most is those stay at home mums who have no helper. I wonder how they cope, and I wonder what hgh supplements they take to keep them youthful and full of energy.
>Skin Care Review<
Posted by Zara's Mama in : Uncategorized, girls' angpow , add a commentI think with Jelly purchasing and trying out on various acne cleanswer, whitenening serum, she’ll soon be able to start her own blog to do some sort of skin care reviews, like the acnepril reviews found on the net.
But I shouldn’t suggest to her, or she might just hog on the net like I so frequently do, and the house work will not be done.
>Spending Money<
Posted by Zara's Mama in : girls' angpow , add a commentJelly goes out once in a month. When asked, she told us she spends about RM100 on a day off, buying all sorts of things.
Sometimes she’ll show me what she bought, like acne cleansers, whitening serum, those sort of things.
For someone who complains about her son not having the RM30 to pay for the computer class fee in the Philippines, I think spending RM100 on an outing is a bit too much? Don’t you think?
