I'm a full-time mummy

Look at the weird stuff my son builds with his Mega Block toys...

Final shot before it all came tumbling down...

So, now I have an engineer in the house too!

Let's welcome Ben, the engineer!

(aka BENgineer)

Hubby's aunt from Sydney came back for a week holiday and few days ago, we went out with her to have brunch at the banana leaf rice restaurant near our house. Ben had his oatmeal breakfast already, so was pretty much just sitting there watching us eat (of course, he entertained himself by oogling at some stray cats around the restaurant).

Some of the Indian waiters can't resist and went ahead to play with Ben. One of them even gave Ben a smaller size of banana leave for him to use with. And when Ben realised he's suddenly treated like an adult (cos the rest of us were eating our rice on the banana leaves), we went along and placed some smaller chunks of food  (like fish, cucumber and the lentil crackers) and rice for Ben to nibble with.

Ben: "You sure I could eat on this leaf?!!"

Ben flashing more cutesy looks to the waiters nearby, probably trying to get more goodies? Hehehehe...

Ben: "Yumyumyum... gobble gobble gobble..."

It was a nice and filling meal and we enjoyed the brunch outing as well. I'm just so proud that Ben's so well behaved with his first experience with banana leaf rice!

Yes, I totally meant water! Over a week ago, the pipes which rely on the main water tanks just dried up. Not a drop of water out of the pipes and thank God, our bathroom's shower are connected directly to the main water pipe located downstair and we could still shower and use some water in our room.

The ones that got affected are connected to the water storage tank which are the sinks, balcony and hubby's office room. Hence, we have not been spending time at the balcony since there's no water until hubby managed to borrow a super long ladder and climbed up through our bathroom to the main water tank outlet and fixed the problem.

So when we finally have the water back, I waited a day for the pressure and air to clear before venturing back to our balcony and let Ben play in his water pool again.

So, yes, dearest water, WELCOME BACK!!
