Oxymoron Vibes Today

Today may be cold but the sun is out and we are dying to get out of the house. The kids have been stuck in the house for too many days and my TV has been babysitting them for awhile, which is not ideal. Although Scarlett is having her exam period now, I think spending an hour or two outdoor is better than her sitting at home telling me how bored she is. 

Scarlett gets restless during exam period. There is way too much time for her to kill during exam period and she is always quick when I asked her to do her revisions. Like real quick. We tried to encourage her to revise over and over again since she has so much spare time but to her, or most kids, it seems like such a pain. I kind of let her off.

She never score 100 for any of her tests or exams that's for sure (maybe she did in Primary One for some of the subjects). Am I disappointed with her results? No. But I am never satisfied until she gets 100, because 100 is the kind of result no parent can ever say, "Can you do better than this?". I am just being real. The fact that I let her off means I am not expecting 100, so yeah, I am never satisfied but I can always live with what she is getting despite her slacking. I am still proud of her no matter what. She is as good as she can get. She is a lazy top student in her school.

I love West Kowloon Nursery because it has this really weird combination of nature and concrete surrounding us. There is also a nice sea view at the other side of this park which we will visit next time round. When the weather is good, this place is amazing. The kids get to play on grass and concrete at the same time, picking up twigs to pretend that they are building a nest to tossing little rocks by the construction site.

"Stop picking your nose. Your daughter is trying to take a photo for us." 

Today is also a good day to begin with as Chester woke up at 9am!!! He slept a solid 12 hours! It is nice to be able to wake up later than 6ish or 7am. Thus, I get to update my blog now in the afternoon and not having the need to nap while he naps everyday. I know I sound like an old lady but yes, I take naps every day just to be able to function till night. Geez, aging is no fun. I hate it. Growing up was fun but aging is a whole new level for me. Then aging aside, today is a day worth writing about. I mean, the weather is insane. I still can't get over it. The cold from winter and the heat from the sun (cold heat) plus that nature-crossover-construction-park (concrete nature), today feels weird but beautiful. 

Sun and fun under the sun, with the people I love, having hot dogs and siu mai from The Pit Stop for lunch and now waiting for Chester to wake up from his late afternoon nap.
