Silap lah pergi shopping hari ni when it's Valentine's Day. Everywhere we looked, penuh dengan bunga and teddy bears and cute toys and love-shaped cushions and love-shaped chocs. Nak termuntah sekejap bila people yang tak romantik macam we all ni tengok, hahahaha. And the florists really hiked up the prices of the flowers and teddies. Terbeliak biji mata tengok harga sekuntum bunga rose tadi, $10!!!!! Mahal gilerssss......... Pastu 3 hari dah layu abis, buang duit betul lah. But I guess if you tengah asyik masyuk bercinta, everything is 'cheap' to buy for your sweethearts kan :-).


Since it was Valentine's Day, the newspaper kat sini memang ada section khas for people to send their Valentine's Day messages to their loved ones. Masa I tengah baca paper tadi, tersampailah to that section. Straight away I asked the other half, "Will I see my name in this?". Dia terus cakap, "Don't get your hopes up, cause you'll be sadly disappointed! " Then sebelum I sempat say anything witty to him, he said "that's because I say it to you every single day that I love you, I don't need the newspaper to say that." ... Awwwwwww........... Wehkehkehkehkeh...... Tak larat, pandai aje dia bagi excuses, hehehhe.....


Since I didn't get anything for Valentine's Day, I pun tak lah masak anything special tonite for us, hahaha. Merajuk lah konon nya tu (well, malas nak masak sebenar nya instead of merajuk but don't tell the other half that ;-)). So, sebab tak masak anything special, takde lah gambar our dinner but I have a photo of Miss 9 doing her current hobby.


Dulu, every Saturday morning Miss 9 had Girl Guides but she's gone off it now. Sebab she's got a new hobby now. So, since last 2 weeks kot, every Saturday morning we've been taking Miss 9 to this Games Workshop where Miss 9 and The other half spent a few hours bonding over their mutual hobby. Nak tau apa hobby terbaru Miss 9?


Model painting. Not that kind of models yang cantik2 or yang posing nude tu tau! The models that they've been painting are miniature models/ figurines of Lord of The Rings characters. She's painting Gandalf at the moment but with a red robe, hehehe. They sometimes spend up to 2 hours painting just 1-2 models, lama kan! But I guess since the models are quite small and quite intricate to paint the small faces and eyes and what nots, tu yang ambil masa lama. Bila Daddy and Miss 9 are doing their bonding session, Miss 5 and I pun buat bonding session jugak. But biasalah kan, my bonding session involves shopping! Dah the painting shop is inside a big shopping complex, what else can I do apart from shopping right! Miss 5 masih tak cukup umur nak paint at that place so nak tak nak terpaksalah dia bershoppign dengan Mummy. I think Miss 5 is going to grow up to be very well trained in shopping, hahahahaha...... But it's not all shopping, she's learning at the same time because I asked her to read all the names of the shops that we see and the names of the things that we buy and I asked her to read all the price tags. And I let her select the veges and the fruits so I think she likes our bonding session as well :-). Perasan lah sekejap dia dah jadi a big girl.
