The Story of Mars vs Venus

It was a lovely afternoon with friends at the Rose Veranda, something I'd wanted to do before the dreaded confinement.

But it seemed the kids had a greater time!

Mars: See, you use HANDS to wolf down the chicken wings. Its finger-licking good!

Venus: Yucks! I won't even want to eat it with a tissue...

Venus: Think I prefer bite-size potato balls...

After the adventure, its time to get down to work...

Mars: I am drawing DRAGONS and the LION from the lion dance.

Venus: I am drawing PRINCESSES. They will wear long dresses and have long hair.

Despite their differences, Mars and Venus will still...

race together...

and help each other...

The End

Things to do

Yes! It's all cleared. My table is ready for someone else to take over. Will always remember its prime location and a much sought-after one.

And some gifts worth remembering...

Then we had a few things we had needed to do:

Cut our hair...

Went to the library, or else Meredith would not even know how one looks like...

Did some final shopping for didi...
I think we are ready...

It's the Chinese New Year

Here's wishing one and all in the year of the "Golden" Piggy....

Health....Happiness....Prosperity and Peace!

Gong Xi Gong Xi!

To laugh or to CRY??!!

H despite being an efficient helper in the house, really has some weird initiatives.

1. She would add funny sauce in the soup - RESULT: Soup taste weird. Everybody left theirs untouched.

2. Took Meredith's little stickers and decorated the room's switches - RESULT: The switch looked like it had chicken pox! VANDALISM!

3. The hotel had some cotton balls as part of the toiletries. Meredith took it back as she found them so cute - RESULT: H took them, tore them into bits to decorate our xmas tree to give it a snowy effect. Harmless, just that she will have to clear it up when we keep the tree.

4. We decided to stop using the air purifier, which we used to put lots of eucalyptus oil for aromatherapy - RESULT: She must have found the container very suitable for our ranchu, she used it to put the fish whenever she change the water. The fishes float vertically, intoxicated by the remains of the eucalyptus oil.

5. Told her she would help in our BBQ - RESULT: She put lots of make-up, maybe only foundation (who was she trying to impress or seduce huh??). Her make-up melts as she bbq for the guests.

And the list goes on and on...

HER LATEST!
Put perfume on my bed! RESULT: Can't sleep! Too pungent! Makes me nauseous! Cos its NOT the same as aromatherapy! I feel I need FRESH AIR!

The torpedo dive!

The swim school heated up the pool. Now its a heated pool. The kids enjoy more. Meredith would not stop diving underneath while waiting for her turn on the platform. Perhaps you dun need the wet suit anymore, Meredith!
