…since I updated this blog 
Having bad internet connection for the last couple of weeks due to heavy rain had stripped off my blogging appetite. I really couldn’t rely on my HSDP connection during bad weather. It became very slow! Anyway, yesterday we installed cable internet, so now we have two ISP in our house, wired and wireless. Hopefully, I can start my blogging and dropping routine again soon!

To be honest, I never really celebrate Valentine’s Day. Probably because when I grew up, Valentine was not so popular. Some schools even banned students from talking about Valentine. It was labeled as western custom that was not for us. However, things have changed now. With so many commercials and shows on TV about Valentine, it is hard not to get involved with this so called love day… even for a preschooler.
Yesterday, Evan had a Valentine related event at school which seems to me like a chocolate day. So what did they do at the event? The main message was to teach the children about caring and giving. To symbolize it the teachers would give chocolate to the students and in return us, the busy parents, students had to prepare something for their teachers within three days notice ggrrr…. And the easiest things for me to grab during these days were, of course, chocolate.
Three little boxes of chocolate for teachers
Inside each box are 9 little heart shaped chocolates with teacher’s name on it. This one for example was for Ms. Christine, his class teacher.
We had to hide those boxes from the boy until the event started, otherwise his teachers would get empty boxes, lol. So there he was, ready for school without knowing what to give to the teachers.
The dress code for the day was red for boys and pink for girls.
With his teachers, Ms. Christine and Mr. Harry (music teacher). His English teacher, Ms. Eta, was not there. On the table were the teachers’ gifts for the kids, Tango wafer and little heart shaped chocolate.
Enjoy your Valentine/Chinese New Year weekend (whichever suits you) everyone!

It’s been awhile since the last time I got an
award. Honestly, I was beginning to think that people got fed up with the way I handled awards/tags so they deleted me from their award receiver list. But guess what? I was wrong, somebody still loves me!
Thank you mommy Tetcha of Pensive Thoughts for the Happiness Award!
Now I have to list 10 things that make me happy:
- Well for a start, receiving this award already made me happy!
- Seeing my kids grow up
- Knowing that they’re in good health
- Spending time with them
- Hearing them singing and laughing
- Receiving good reports from my son’s teacher
- Having a raise from the office
- A nice getaway
- Visiting new places
- Last but not least, I’ll be happy if all my visitors are real, not ghost droppers! LOL
So what things that make you happy? Share them with us
Happy Friday everyone!
