Breakfast in Bed!

I have read and seem on movie about breakfast in bed and about 3 weeks ago, my dear daughter make it come true in my life. I have mean to blog about it but somehow forgotten!
I was reading the book to my two girls about "When I am sick, mummy did this and that for me...and the boy was well, he make breakfast for mummy." So Qi ning was telling me that she want to make breakfast for me.
Lo and behold, one morning she woke me up from sleep and show me the tray that she has brought up for me. It was a cheese sandwich! We sat on the bed and ate the snadwich together. Qi Yu saw what her jie jie did and went down stair and prepare breakfast for mummy as well! So sweet of them. Mummy is all ear when thinking of the sweet acts that the girls perform! :)

All I want for Christmas is my four front teeth...

Whenever i look at the four front teeth on Qi Yu's mouth, I can't help feeling the tint of guilt on my part for neglecting her oral hygiene from baby. I have left it to the maid to clean her teeth when she was younger. But many time when she closed her mouth tight and refused to be clean, the maid never told us. So by the time when i noticed the erosion on her teeth and asked the maid if she wash Qi yu's teeth her answer was "Qi Yu tak mahu!"
That was when she was about 1 year old, I did send her to see dentist when i notice that her teeth was kind of eroding but the dentist say not to worry. We have been bringing the kids for dental check up every so often ever since. But nothing will help her four front teeth oledi. Now her upper four front teeth has decayed and dentist said has to wait as there is nothing so can do at the moment.
Last night, i heard this little girl of mine pray that god will help her teeth to drop soon! I asked her to pray that her permanent teeth tol grow soon only then the four decay one will fall off.
Qi ning oledi had two permament teeth even though she is not five yet! Hopefully, Qi Yu four front teeth will also grow qiucker than usual!

Swimming Lesson

I have been thinking of sending Qi Ning for swimming lesson for quite some time but never actually get to do it. Since we have been going swimming very often lately, I saw a swimming coach teaching people swimming at the Condo where I took Qi Ning and Qi Yu for a swim every now and then. So hubby asked me to check him out so last Saturday we started the first lesson for Qi Ning. She really enjoyed it.
I must say that I am really thankful that God has provided this coach, I don't need to send her far, just to the condo across the road where a friend is staying! And he seem to be quite good with children. He even brough a fin for Qi ning to try. I am pleased with the first session!

Prayer

Everynight before we sleep, we tend to pray and ask for a goodnight of rest. And also to pray for special needs as it arise, maybe for someone who is sick or special requests. I remember in April when i was bogged down by assignments, I asked the girls to pray that mummy will do her homework aka assignment well. And lately, I have heard Qi Yu prayed this prayer before she sleeps quite frequently. She would actually knelt down to pray! Bless her heart.
"Dear Jesus, please help mummy do her homework well so that she could be Dr. Ling and no more Ling Mee Chooi". When i hear this i couldn't help but laugh, it indeed brings joy and encouragemen to me as i plough on in my studies.
Really appreciate the girls for putting up with the time when mummy have to do homework and can't play with them and for hubby to take on the responsibility of taking care of the girls when i have to rushed to complete assignments! I guess with their support, i will have to be discipline to finish it up fast! Love them all.

Holidays

Since my last exam on 8 May, i have been going for a few holidays. My plan to do literature review for my thesis has been delayed. Two weekend ago we went to Fraser hill, last wednesday we went to Penang to meet one of my SIL and her family,whom we have not seen for more than a year. Her two kids are about the same age as my two girls.
Took the kids to Penang hill. Qi Ning asked "Is it because we are children, the cable cars are not in the air (she is refering to those cable car at Genting) this is more safe"
Qi Yu nowadays starts to mimic mummy in emphasising the sound of the words. Since I teach Qi ning phonics, I try to emphasize teh sound of the words, and Qi Yu is picking that up from me. Sometime she will tell me, "Mummy, I am Sa..d." and this little girl of mine likes to call me "mum" when she is in her cheery mood. She will be "hi mum" here and there!
Two weeks time, we will be travelling to Ho Chih Min City. This will be our last trip before my semester starts again!
