Halloween 2009

This is supposed to be posted up half year ago!! But I thought, since there're pictures of Jared and Natalie that Auntie Chloe can see, might as well.

Annually, the residents here will celebrate Halloween by decorating their doors and the children will go round the estate asking for treats from those who wants to participate. Last year, we missed this event because we weren't prepared to dress the kids up and we've just moved in. This year, we managed to get them some props and off they went to collect their treats which I think amounts to a half year's supply.

This would probably be their last time celebrating Halloween here. So for memory sake:

Our "New" Maid

After I posted an entry on the new cleaning equipment we had been using, I got some enquiries on this brand, Enjo. If you guys are interested, you can email or leave a comment in this blog. I've agreed to help the distributor to sell during the poly's school holidays. Since these two months, I'm not really doing anything.

One of the product range that I like was their mop. Which saves me tonnes of water (the amount of water we needed to mop the house TWICE was the full bottle of the spray bottle) and I no longer have to carry buckets of water and squeezing the mop till I get blisters on my fingers. Even Ning was able to help me because the stick was adjustable to her height. And she gladly does it during those days we didn't have a helper. WF saw and he went to take a video of her "professional" cleaning style. I thought it was really funny since she was all so serious doing her cleaning job.

Christmas 2009 II

This is so lame... CNY is already here and I'm still stuck with Christmass???!!

I actually did up the slide show some time ago. And there were some rather nice photos taken when our friends and their kids came over to celebrate Christmas with us on various days. So not wanting to waste it and also to share with them on this blog, it is still better to put up.

Of course, it also includes the presents Ning and Zhi received. Looking at the photos of presents just reminds me of how blessed these two kids are. With so many people loving them and caring for them... Ning's present from "Santa" (aka parents) was a jewellery box we bought in Switzerland. And somehow without ever to teach her, she did a pretty good job in organizing her accessories in the various sections and compartments. I guess this must be a girl's instinct? And of coz, for Zhi, its Thomas and more Thomas for him!

Here are the pictures:
