I finally have something I really want to write about! Been contemplating on some topics I ended up not writing it up. Mostly about MCO and my sudden crazy thought on furthering studies to Masters (what was I thinking?). My mum bought us all the Little Critter series written by Mercer Mayer back in the US. And... It wasn't until years.... That I realized mum actually bought two of the same title. My mum said she accidentally bought two as she found a lot more other titles at a discounted price at another shop. It was Sofia who pointed it out. Damn... Seriously that kid is really something. Or, really all kids are so smart like that. Or, Sofia is just like me - very particular. I didn't remember which title got double, though. I might ask Sofia later ha-ha. Anyway... It was really something to read to your kid the books your mum used to read to you. You know. And seeing some books with doodles... And your kid asking you who did that and it really was you, the kid you. One of...

Hello! It's Day 03 of MCO 3rd phase. Well, today... We started off by doing the Cotton Buds Colour Matching activity. Not much artsy stuff going on today, more on role play in which her dad is so good at. She could be anything... From fireman to police to Spongebob. Me? I wasn't much of a role play kind of person. I get bored acting different characters... This Egg Smashing activity, I got this idea from @lauraiz (Instagram). We did it yesterday. Eggshells and a ziplock bag. Actually I've tried this activity before with Sofia. Except that I didn't place the eggshells inside a ziplock bag. I let her smash it in a plastic bowl. And guess what, the bits of eggshells flew all over the place. So, put the eggshells inside a plastic bag.  Don't make the same mistake I did. She wanted to smash the eggshells using my water bottle. If you ever want to smash them using a wood spatula like this one, remember to smash them on a carpeted surface. I don't ...

Hello! It's now Day 02 of the Movement Control Order 3rd phase.... My mum suggested I make a diary of Sofia's activity during this MCO period. But the thing is, it is not always all the time I managed to take a picture. And also, there are days I let her watch tv most of the time... So this one activity I got from @lauraiz (Instagram). I named this activity myself. Aha. Three things needed: cotton buds (as many as you like), paper , watercolour . Just dip the ends of the cotton buds into various colours.  Draw around the cotton buds to make a shape like so. Usually for the first time of doing any activity, I'd do it together with her. So yeah, that's my skinny hand making its' appearance. Also for Sofia to see later who knows when I'm no longer around, and she miss me. That's ma Together we completed them in less than 5 minutes... These pictures are taken on 14th April 2020 (yes I am that detailed). She refused a second round...
