estee, I am sure your ah boy will help you. My boys always followed me for grocery shopping. The younger one like \"aunty\" always looking out for bargain and good food.

Ya. Problem is we go grocery when kids hv tuition. Now sch holiday, more library, language & medical/dental appts then grocery so I’ve more hands.

You’re good. But somehow hvnt gone beyond the hurdle to do online shopping. Still hung up with choosing grocery by touch. Guess I’m still a traditional. You ladies younger & more savvy lah.

Had nice favorite Rojak then the downpour. Will hv to wait out the rain.


Hearing all yr lamentations if signs of aging just reminds me of my wobbly legs at the start of my trip. As we grow old, it’ll be more than just aches pains. I’ve ‘acquired’ more veins as I grow older tho no painful varicose as yet. So, be very careful & age gracefully.

The other day, my doc just told me point blank not to carry anything of weight. My response was how not to when u need to do grocery? DH also had slip disc & I can’t bear to hv him put in danger. So doc said get a trolley or yr yr kids to start using their muscles. Now I didn’t say it. :please:

Nice l will hv to start to take life easy.

Take care esteema..

There is no Christmas decoration at Raffles City (at end of Orchard Rd) and no decoration on Raffles Boulevard this year. Was it like that also last year? I didn’t pay attention last year.

@ estee, I don't have much fun strategies leh. You know lah, boys are a different creature. For them, quickly complete the works assigned by parents then can proceed to play liao. They don't care whether there are some wrong or even 1 wrong. Afterall kena \"wrong\" still scold. 1 wrong = careless also scold/nag. So might as well just complete the work can liao. Good thing about teaching boys, is when you scold them, they will not remember a thing thereafter.

@ MKS, maybe you can get your gals to read Chinese story books about gals or those emotional friendship/family books that can hook their interest.

lc, you have any recommendations on the gals/emotional friendship/family books? Yesterday dd mentioned this author Yanghongying says she likes and that she has some of her books, should been bought at lower primary ba...I was like 'ding' maybe get her these kind of books to rekindle her interest in non comic books..yup, now that I recalled she read those many Roald Dahl chinese versions books during lower primary..

I am impressed! May I know how your DD1 get to know this author 杨红樱? Did your DD1's school intro this author to them or she happens to come across her books in the library?

My girl read one of her books in the 马小跳 series (compulsory reading by her Chinese teacher). Subsequently, DH went to the library to get her more of her books from the 笑猫日记 series like 从外星球来的孩子.[/quote]it was few yrs back already..I asked dd when did she read it..she forgotten too. It should be gotten there while holiday or there was a time a mommy there helped us to order..now we are not in contact liao..

lee yl, can get those books from nlb?

before dd slept, J asked her abt the author, she mentioned 笑猫日记 ..马小跳looks familiar too..and this too 从外星球来的孩子 she read those in lower primary..now going backwards to comics
