Cross, Star and Circle

I almost didn't make it to the mass this evening. I gave up on the problem I was solving (bukas na lang hehehe) and rushed to Christ the King church at Ang Mo Kio.

I was so happy to see my family in church. Bebi A was her usual friendly (she was smiling at the Auntie on pew behind us) self and Dawter T was trying to behave and failing hehehe... I couldn't really concentrate, what with the constant "pssst", "shhhh", "Dawter T, stop it!" and "Bebi A, come here". I had to restrain myself and keep quiet also. Or I will be at the receiving end of Pre's notorious glares hehehe

Anyway, after the imposition of ashes. Dawter T was so excited about hers. She kept on telling us that hers was a star (she can see her reflection slightly at the glass behind us). We had to tell her many times that it's not, that it's a cross. Then, when she saw Bebi A's, she said. "Bat kay Bebi A circle?" (nawala na kasi yung form nung cross at nagmukha ng malaking dot). Dawter T is really inclined in arts hehehe

On a more serious note, may it be not the shape of the ashes that was formed on our foreheads but let the start of Lent help us to reminisce the suffering and the victory of Jesus over death. May it bring us to a closer and deeper relationship with God.

Nyamy Nyamy

Our Bebe A is at the stage of being cheeky and endearing.  She can speak so many words now, some clear, some not.  Hehehe.  She likes to sing as well.  She actually has a good tone.  One of the songs that she likes is the one from Wiggles --- Fruit Salad.  Her version though is : Mom : Fruit Salad Bebe A :  Nyamy Nyamy (Yummy Yummy)

Math Matters

Dawter T called me up and excitedly told me that she's the highest in Math for term 1. So, I thought it was for their exam in Ordinal numbers. "Mommy, Mrs. T said, I am the highest in my tests and in my worksheets. I am 100 %!" Ok, ok, it's our first year in Primary so I am still a bit confused with the grading system. Then, she said, my English is good, but it's not like Math! That got me more confused! But still, I owe her a trip to Night Safari! Hehehe. *** I got home and found Dawter T's assessment folder. And lo and behold, it's true! I am very proud of my chicka! Hehehe (And Pre was even more than proud, for him, only Math matters hahaha)

Sunday Afternoon

We've had an adventure this afternoon. We ate at Pizza Hut and was very disappointed that they forgot to bring out our pizza. It should have come sooner but they made a mistake of bringing out thin crust instead of pizza hut. Pre had to ask the crew about it and only then did they informed us that the pizza was still 5 minutes away, and they were giving us some fried chicken for our wait. I mean, hello? We've waited a long time and it was not our fault and you only thought of the chicken after my husband marched in to your area to ask! We're not difficult customers. We're just hungry hehehe... Bad thing turned to good. The manager was Filipina and after Pre told her about our case, she said that Pizza Hut decided that we don't need to pay for what they have served. Fair enough. But, I don't think I will be coming back anytime soon. So sad. To cap our day, took some photos of the girls. Ate too conscious of her teeth. Bebi A, loving her yellow balloon.
