The LOVING brothers ...

Last sat, we went to Taka to try the famous chewy brownie.
Really very yummy :) ~~~

Zac is not a chocolate lover. He prefers strawberry. He rather takes strawberry ice-cream or cake then chocolate!!

So as not to disappoint him while hub & I are enjoying the yummy brownie... hub bought a slice of strawberry cake for him !! It looks really nice with a shape of a heart & 2 strawberry at the top.



Zac was really excited & immedaitely sat down to 'cut the cake' :)


Amos : (looking really interested & pointing at the cake...) "Kor Kor (refering to Zac), can I have some?"


Zac : "Sure, Kor Kor feed you !!"



Papa : (Very satisfied with Zac's performance, he gave a *pat* on Zac's head) Well Done, Zac.... I see that you are sharing your food with Amos."



Zac continued to feed Amos ....



He had his own share too !!




Then, back to feed Amos again !! These went on for a few rounds until....



Amos : (waving his hands) "Cake, NO MORE...!!"

Zac : "Still have this last scoop, I will give it to you... there you go!!"

Aint the 2 brothers loving?

Zac was super sweet that day, he will usually keep all the food for himself ... but that day, he just felt like sharing with Amos.

We were so touched with his warming gesture :)

*hugs* to my 2 loving boys ...

Thank you Santa & Blog Fairy :) :)

I really need to take a deep breath .................hooo hooo.........

I have received quite a couple of readers writing poems for me & my blog. I thought this is a good chance to thank them for their time & effort. So here, I am listing some meaningful ones.

Joezul, I have published before to thank him. Here are his 2 poems :

For my 2 little rascals
Though little rascals they may be
They are the apples of your eyes;
And though they may sounds like banshees
Hey, wasn't that what always make you smiles?

For Janice .... *blush*
Jasmine sweet,
that's what you are,
An aroma so alluring,
a feeling so nice and pleasant, a delight
Indeed to be treasured and cherished;
for Janice dear, you are ...
Everyone's special darling...

For my 100th post
Happy Super Duper 100th,
A hundred had gone now .
A hundred more to come.
To sweet Janice;
Let us all bow,
For she's a super duper mom !

MakeTraffic wrote in Singlish :

For my Thoughtful Blogger Award
Awards, awards everywhere fly fly
See already got some green eyes
Janice has taught me not to be shy
So I here hint hint why not me why
Ok lah dun have also nevermind
Got friends, can together laugh and cry.

Also, I would like to thank Bobby for creating badges (see sidebar) for my blog. If you would like to link my blog using the badges. Please feel free to do so :)

I am one happy gal with so many wonderful friends around, I really have to call for a celebration together with my country's National Day....

He ain't heavy, he is my little brother ...

What's your thoughts of the pictures ?

Joy in the eyes of the child

Amos : (getting really excited) "Yeah !! I'm going to school with kor kor (refering to Zac) !!"

Mama : "Darling, today is Sunday, no class for kor kor"

We went to Bedok Market to buy our weekly supply of fish. Zac saw the electronic cars & eager to take a spin.

Zac : (waving his hands) "Mama, Didi (refering to Amos) ... I'm here !!"

Amos looking really envious of Zac & finally, cannot control himself & burst into tears. He wanted to sit on the car too but apparently they are too tough for him to handle.

Suddenly, I turned around & saw this little police bike that caught my attention. Looks just perfect for Amos. The bike is really miniature, you can compare it to the telephone booth beside it. Let us welcome the 'youngest police biker". It cost only S$0.20 for about 1 or 2 mins. But the joy in the eyes of the child are words cannot be described... :)

At least, managed to stop those tears from him ..... .....

Suddenly,

Amos : "Mama, cat cat....cat...cat !!"

Mama : Where?......


Sharp pair of eyes.... there is indeed a lonesome cat...!!

Pondering :

Kids tend to get distracted easily.

Is there something that your child wanted badly but yet to receive?

A Poem from Joezul

Joezul, my talented new friend, left a sweet little poem as a comment over at "My 88th Post".

A 4 lines poem sum up my thoughts all so well. Thank you, Joe :) :)

Here goes the poem :

Though little rascals they may be

They are the apples of your eyes;

And though they may sounds like banshees

Hey, wasn't that what always make you smiles? ..... by Joezul

is it the coffee or the cup that you want?

Something for you to think about your life...

A group of alumni, highly established in their careers, got together to visit their old university professor. Conversation soon turned into complaints about stress in work and life. Offering his guests coffee, the professor went to the kitchen and returned with a large pot of coffee and an assortment of cups porcelain, plastic, glass, crystal, some plain looking, some expensive, some exquisite - telling them to help themselves to hot coffee. When all the students had a cup of coffee in hand, the professor said: "If you noticed, all the nice looking expensive cups were taken up, leaving behind the plain and cheap ones. While it is but normal for you to want only the best for yourselves, that is the source of your problems and stress. What all of you really wanted was coffee, not the cup, but you consciously went for the best cups and were eyeing each other's cups. Now if life is coffee, then the jobs, money and position in society are the cups. They are just tools to hold and contain Life, but the quality of Life doesn't change. Some times, by concentrating only on the cup, we fail to enjoy the coffee in it."

Don't let the cups drive you... Enjoy the coffee instead.

have you had your cup of coffee today?
