Happiness is when your son is better than you

After a sumptious breakfast at Wendys, Fleming and I spent the morning paper-folding.

I learnt how to fold a paperbox from him while we viewed a video from instructables to make a rose.

Fleming's rose turned out better than mine, and that was a happy feeling! He is better at craft than me! :)

Just a simple mother-son bonding session, and a wonderful way to spend the 46th birthday morning of Singapore :)

Happiness is receiving great customer service and thanking the person for it!

My family went to New York New York Deli at Centrepoint for dinner last night and not only was the food great, the best part is that we really received excellent customer service from the staff there!

In fact, I am really appreciative of the good service rendered by them, especially that of the manager, so I dropped an email to thank her.

If you do drop by the Deli someday, look out for pretty Ms Lilian with her friendly smile and helpful disposition!

Ms Lilian, the helpful and friendly manager

The compliment email I sent to her company

Happiness is listening to good songs :)

Indescribable delight as I was listening to these songs, sigh.

Five Tiger Generals 五虎将

Yesterday, Fleming came back from school with this set of ceramic figurines depicting the five "Tiger Generals" of the well-known Chinese novel "Romance of the Three Kingdoms".


Apparently, some students and teachers from China went to their school for an exchange programme and the Singapore students were invited to go up stage to wish them "good luck" at the end of the day.

Well, my zealous boy apparently joined his other enthusiastic schoolmates and rushed up to the stage to shake the hands of the overseas guests.

The children were not informed of this beforehand, but it turned out that those who went up to stage to wish them good luck would get a "prize".

Everyone reveived a different "prize", but I think the one received by Fleming is really nice! :)



For those who are not familiar with the five Tiger generals, here is a brief synopsis of them according to my husband:

1) Guan Yu: red-faced and long bearded. Has the most "beautiful beard" title.
2) Zhang Fei: very dark. Doesn't close his eyes when sleeping. Very reckless.
3) Zhao Yun: Younger and good looking. Saved Liu Bei's son.
4) Huang Zhong: An old man but a marksmen in archery.
5) Ma Chao: More barbaric in nature.

Are you a fan of the Five Tiger Generals? If you are, and can share more snippets of information about them, please drop me a comment! :)
