Naughty In Music Class

Zhen Nam is getting more and more ‘daring‘ in his Yamaha music class. Haha! Mummy means, my little boy is now very mischievious while attending the class. He seems to climb on top of teacher’s head already by answering back teacher in a cheeky way. He doesn’t pay much attention on playing his electrone these days.

There was one case, a very funny one…..

That time, my boy was still very busy looking behind at his friend’s book when the teacher started to call out as she wanted to start her lesson,

Teacher : Are you ready, are you ready, Zhen Nam, Zhen Nam …..  *in a singing tune*

Guess how my boy reacted!

Zhen Nam : Not yet, not yet!  *in his singing tune*

All the parents and children in the class laughed! Mummy gasped but amused as well. The teacher? She didn’t know what to say already, but just continue the lesson.  ;p

Can imagine now? That was just one of the case. There are many more……hmmm….mummy should try to record some video clip during the lessons, of course without disturbing the class! Hee….

ETIQA Takaful As Education Saving

While mummy and kids were strolling in Jusco, I was attracted by the saving fund from ETIQA Takaful. The staff were very clever. Some offered to take care of my kids while the other approached me on the details. Since the kids were enjoying in the clay painting for their coin boxes, mummy took my time in listening to the introduction.

It was a fund opened to Chinese since year 2007. It was an Islamic saving fund under Maybank which invests in big corporations like Petronas, Measat, TNB, …. etc.. Mummy is quite interested in this education saving fund. The average dividen given each year is between 5.5%-8%. Money rewards will be given to children who scored good results in UPSR, PMR and SPM.

Mummy will consider and discuss with hubby. Before we left, the staff took a photo with the kids, but the two little ones look so ‘cool‘ !

Mummy has no more time to delay further. We have to proceed to the organic shop to buy some detoxification products for colon cleansing, for example colonix. Mummy is indeed very conscious with health issue. :)

My Boy In Spa Again!

Zhen Nam finally succeeded in persuading mummy in letting him to spa. It was almost a year ago since the last time he soaked himself in this long bath. He looked so happy in the photo. He was scared of the bubbles and water when he was three, but not now anymore. Mummy finds that the spa works on Zi Wei’s skin. Hopefully, this may help a little for my boy as well. Mummy understands that this needs long term and regular using to see good results. Therefore, mummy is thinking of purchasing the machine and install a long bath at home.

Remember the hydrotherapy spa mummy mentioned earlier? A treatment spa which benefits both young and old generations. It can act as a masseur, it can also act as a doctor.

This hydrotherapy spa is being introduced to the hospitals in Johor and Malacca. This spa is now widely used in the physiotherapy centres in the hospitals mainly to cure those patients with strokes and joints problem. No need to go after weight loss supplement reviews but just 20mins spa each day, it can provide the same good result.

Children Education Funds

All these days, the daily newspapers are loaded with the miserable tragedy news about Teoh Beng Hock. I read the news about his funeral yesterday. It was so touching and I really hope justice will stand for him.

Malaysia portraits a more unsteady political situation since these two years. I don’t see any bright future of residential in Malaysia, especially for Chinese. Migration is another good choice for a better living. Unfortunately, hubby would never agree with me. I am a little worried of the children’s education in years to come. There would be a lot of restrictions and Chinese always stand a slim chance in making their dream come true even they have fought for excellent results to university.

I hope hubby may earn enough for our kids to go to colleges or even further their studies to overseas. I always reminds myself not to spend too much in boutiques but save more money for the kid’s education. Anyway, that is just not enough. I am now looking for some prospective education funds which help money to grow more through investments. I am awaiting of some useful call center services about such funds. Is there any actually? I wonder. Is there anyone who can suggest or advise me on this issue?

I have known of an education fund from UOB last year. It is a monthly installment plan with quite high returns when reaches the age university years. The plan even rewards the students who score As in government exams like UPSR, PMR and SPM. Sounds very good too! I still have to look into it as I am not sure whether this plan is still opened now. Really have to plan wisely for the kids…… *sigh*

Cinema Fever, But Worried Of AH1N1 !

Ipoh is a boring place for family outings. There is not much special place for the kids to enjoy their weekends except strolling in either two of the big shopping mall like Jusco and Ipoh Parade. Some of the families may spend their weekends in the park for picnic. Mummy doesn’t bring my kids to the caves even Ipoh is famous by surrounded hills. My kids don’t like to go there either.

Anyway, we did plan out for movies recently on Sundays continuously for three weeks. Mummy remembered it started with Alien vs Monsters in the cinema! The kids love it. Then, it was Terminator Salvation 2009. This movie was not so suitable for the young ones as the story was too complicated. Sometimes adults may take time to comprehend too. The last one lately was the super popular Transformer II. My kids were so exciting while watching till they screamed and asked all kinds of questions throughout the movie. Yet, it was a little too tiring for children to sit and watch for 2 and a half hours.

The heat has come, and mummy knows it is Ice Age 3 showing. Due to the uncontrollable outbreak of AH1N1, mummy doubts of taking the kids to the cinema. Their grandparents grumbled each time mummy brought the kids to cinema as it was crowded especially for Transformer II. What should mummy do? The kids always beg me for Ice Age 3 in cinema these days. They refuse to give in even mummy promises to buy a DVD for them. :(

Shall mummy just fulfill their request and bring them on weekdays afternoon where there may not be so many people? There is no guaranteed issue life insurance for us. Poor thing ……

Active And Talkative

Age: 4 years 2 months+

From the photo here, mummy does not need to describe further how mischievous the boy is now. He is extremely active and talkative nowadays. When both Zi Wei and Zhen Nam are together, there will never be silence around me.  They can just yak non-stop, ask all kinds of questions, begging for everything! My grandma voiced out her worried once when she saw Zhen Nam not speaking much when he was 2 years old. Now huh? Terrible ….. mummy often loses my control even in public when facing such chaos. Other people may look at mummy as a gentle and polite lady at first impression, but will surely get shocked when they hear how mummy scolds the kids!  Aih….so embarrassing!  :(

Well, of course, mummy would still choose to have active and naughty kids because they do look cute when acting like that, sometimes! Ha! My kids really do not need the best HGH supplements to develop some tiny muscles at their arms and thighs. :D
