We are The Ongies

Taking the cane, shove at the kids as warning is not working anymore. They know, by heart, that parents will not cane them. This time, Cait and Clar were wrong when they tested hubby's patience. The first stroke down is a pre warning, it will followed by the 2nd time which is slightly harder than before. It is not easy for them to forget that moment when they realised the pain is not a joke, neither they knew that hubby is not acting at all. He know what to do when come to disciplinary this time. When the kids are getting out of control, such action is unavoidable. Screaming, shouting and slamming here and there will only result the kids to follow them. Hence, hubby ensured everyone must watch what they say and the cause of action; this also include the grandparents too. Hubby glad that Cait had progressed a lot better than before on her learning capabilities. Almost daily, hubby will spend 30min to 45min on her for Mandarin, English and Math. Since wifey is pretty bu...

This seem to be a very interesting moment/ conversation with Cait when hubby drove her home yesterday. Clar is not feeling well, so she have to stay at home - at least to prevent the HFMD (Hand Food Mouth Disease)  Both of them were in car when Cait took her favorite honey star box out from her bag and start munching it. Reaching at the red light, hubby's hand went to her honey star box and took a few of it, starting munching together with her. She stared blankly:" Eh.. daddy... why you take my honey star huh?" " Because I like to eat it. " said hubby with guilt. " Really huh? Okai, then you take a bit from mine. " Cait said it happily with open heart. " Thanks girl, I shall take one time only because daddy like it a lot . Better to control my diet. " " Ok daddy. " And she keep on enjoying her favourite snack. " Girl, don't eat so many of those, it is nearly dinner time. Later you will not be able to tak...

Can't deny that Cait does have some photography skill! These are her shot when The Ongies attend a wedding lunch recently. While she does not know about the setting on the camera, but she do have some great composition. Since hubby forgotten to bring her camera, the old LX3 which had been entrusted to her, he decided to let her play with the Olympus XZ2 instead. He was shocked when he saw the images taken by Cait. He nodded with great smile. While hubby was busying eating the food, wifey chatting with old colleagues, he caught Cait doing selfie! She turned the camera towards her and start snapping happily. These are the few hubby chosen from - nice and the bad. She is learning fast. Maybe it is time to bring her out to do some shoot. She may discover her talent and might be even better than her daddy! =)

Kids TV is very navie and cute if you do not think so much about the content. However, hubby being one of those parents that been forced to watch the show together, had a different perspective when he recently found out the interesting wild imagination from the creator. Bubble Guppies Credits: wikipedia Apparently,the color and animation used are very nice and cute. That is the reason Cait simply love to watch this series. One day, hubby sat down with the girls and watch together and found something illogical that he kept laughing by himself. Totally does not make sense to him, and he quickly told the wifey to watch it too. What is the thing that amuse hubby? This is something the kids have not learn about it yet. Guppies, live in the water. To adult, it is everything related to underwater world. When hubby saw clouds, cars, lamp and everything on land were in the water, he rubbed his eyes and view it again. Oh gosh, this is quite misleading to the kids. Rather than...

School trip to Nex, Serangoon! It is one of the favorite mall that hubby will love to go because of the space and stores. The school decided to bring the class of K (kindergarten) and N (Nursery) for a fun time! While the K classes are going to do their own pasta at Pastamania, the class of N will be visiting the pet shop and buying things from NTUC! All the kids are very excited and anxious, not knowing what is going to happen next. They have no ideas what kinda animals they will be seeing or even, touch it. Nevertheless, kids will always be kids, they love to stick each other, making lots of noise till the mall are filled with their laughter. Getting ready to take a photo? Cheeky Cait, this is the first time hubby seeing Cait so happy with her own friend. Buddy, huh! What an eye, Cait! Abby (Caitlyne's best friend), Caitlyne, Han Yi and Adriel Smiley with wifey Time to look at hamsters! Please be gentle with them. Touching them for the first time and ...

So long as the permission is granted, it is always good to have some fun while folding laundry with your kids. Here, as posted by hubby's friend on Facebook, it is interesting to show it to Cait and Clar. They will be shocked to see that a towel can make into such an interesting looking animals! Of course, make sure the kids do not take the towel and play till it turn dirty again! As such, this will only approve by the parents, not the grandmother! The elderly will scold them for making such a big mess for sure! Link for : my mom is going to have a supirse next time she asks me to fold the laundry

Just weeks ago, Clar had to bid good bye to her favourite teacher, Siti. According to her, she had been posted somewhere else, fortunately, nearby. Siti had been in her class for the past one year, (think so?) Everytime after putting Clar in school, when she saw Siti, she will remain quiet and walk quietly to her - even though she is crying. That time, Siti, seem like the only one that Clar is quite afraid of. (bravo bravo) But with her leaving, the Ongies hoping that Clar will adapt well... which she is now. First is Azizah, then now Siti. So far, both of them had been performing very well in school. There's no major feedback about these two girls. (finger cross) For Cait, she had been complaining about the no standing during Science alive class on Monday. Not fully knowing about her reason, wifey decided to pull her out instead. The main cause - interests. Cait develops well with arts instead. But because of her poor holding of pen/ pencils, she simply cannot draw w...

Many things had happened along the way, mainly the good ones. Hubby will slowly jot it down here. One of the happiest moment - Cait and Clar had been promoted to cousin now, hurray! Yes, hubby's sister just gave birth to a baby boy, Kyan, just weeks ago. The two girls are very excited to see him, and kept asking to carry if possible. They did, but with special care of course. Between the two of them, Cait is more gentle than Clar, she is a bit shy seeing him for the first time in the hospital. Cait even ask, how did the baby come out? "Open stomach, take it out, is it?" She asked. Yeah, clever Cait, but that is only when it is C-sect, not natural. =) You will learn it in near future. The Ongies would like congrats the Yeo's family! Happy parenting moment!!! Nightmare is about to start!
