Last Thurs, me & Nel, my sis-i-law and Lyd went out together. Just us two mums and our two 6 year old daughters. it was like a "date" with our eldest child (bonding time.)

We caught the LRT towards town center to catch the broadway version of "Beauty and the Beast." Well, we got there half an hour before time, and decided to indulge in some New Zealand icecream first. yummy............. :)

at ten to 8, we headed for the show to check out the souvenirs and program booklet. Incredibly pricy, everything to me, was pricy....unless you're earning a lot and have nothing to do with the money, the 40Rm keychain is a really crazy price to pay.

ok, so we skipped that and went looking for our seats. Nel just enjoyed the show so much. At one point where the Beast was dying, she actually cried. She just seems a lot more emotional nowadays. When I asked if she was ok, she got embarassed, pulled on an angry face and turned away. hahaha...

Anyway the show ended at 10:30 and we had to walk quite a distance towards the LRT station... coz the shopping mall was closed, and it was drizzling...so we had to go by a longer route. WHen we got to the station, my sis saw a train and shouted "Run!! run!! catch it before it goes."

So we ran like mad people, squeezed in to that packed train and after 20 mins realised we were going in the wrong direction! arrghhh. ...... and by that time, it was already 11++pm. We got off, waited to catch another train...and finally got on the right one, which probably was the last train of the night?

Our two little girls were tired, and nodding off....and really, though there were not many people on the last train, there were quite a few unusual people. We saw a girl which Ju says was an "emo", drunkards, cross dressers...and some pretty scary lookin ones

Finally we arrived at the last stop at almost midnight. The station was closed except for a little side door. We had to go through the building to get to our car, and there wasn't a soul in sight in that large building. was really kinda spooky to me, well, not spooky......but I was worried about thugs and drug addicts...

Anyway, we got home safe at almost 12:30am. Late huh? bottom line, if it's a night show, next time we'll drive. Still all in all, our kids and us, enjoyed it so much. It was also good mum and daughter bonding time, minus the presence of the younger one. Well worth it. If you've got 2 or more kids, I recommend this, taking time out to be alone with each child. My parents were wonderful in that they helped by baby sitting the younger one.

Of late, things have been busy. Blogging seems to be last on my mine, but I just had to do an update of the children..for record's sake. haha...


Nel has been asking more questions of late... Some questions she threw at me just yesterday..


- Mum, how did you know Dad was the right/good person, good enough so you married him? and how did dad know you were the right person?


- Mum, if the devil disappeared today, would everyone suddenly change and become good?

- Mum.....I want to hear God's voice, how does one hear God's voice?

- Mum, who made God? who made the angels? Who was before God?

- Is God real? does He really listen ?

- Mum....why is dad's legs thinner than yours? (ok this one is obvious, my hubby's always underweight, while I'm always trying to loose weight...*sigh* )



As for Jo, she's really becoming the Drama queen. She changes emotions very quickly, through ACTING! Like, when we're on the stairs, she very often stretches out her hands, acts like she's in trouble and cry out "help me mum....help meeeeeeeeeeeeeeee" She does other stuff like, take a spatula, and it becomes her oar when she rows her boat (her tiny car), or if she's on a stool, the floor suddenly becomes an ocean of sharks...etc etc.

Overall, we're ok. Some days are good, some days tiring...ok will run. I know, this is such an unspired entry....well, next time will write something better.

Grooming

my sis in law has been looking for a make-up class, wanting to improve herself in terms of dressing and make up.

As I was searching through my phone for a friend's no, I saw a number which I had listed under "grooming". I must have taken that number down a long time ago, but couldn't remember where from. Thinking it must be grooming for ladies, I called the number. A rather rude guy who spoke in broken English picked the phone up.

I asked, "Do you conduct grooming classes?"

He replied impatiently "yes, yes, .."

Wondering how the heck could a rude sounding guy conduct grooming classes for ladies, I asked again " you conduct grooming classes? Actually I'm looking for make up classes, do you of.."

Before I could finish the sentence, he replied "yes, yes lar, we offer everything, send me email, sms, sms! I will send you brochure." then he hung up.

I thought, perhaps he's just the rude clerk. Later when I checked my email, I received this from him....................

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhh.... now I remember where I took the "grooming" number from, - from a pet store, when I once considered trying grooming my own dog!! hahaha..... So, nope, don't think I'll be passing this brochure or no. to my sis in law. hehehe...
