"I have a Watch & we Love Kids Channels"

Anthea has been bugging us to get her a watch since last week. One of her classmate wears watch to school, so she also likes to have one.

I kept asking her “do you really know how to read the time?” “YES.” She said and to prove to us, she has been reading the time from our home wall clock and so far, she has been pretty accurate with the time. At time a little confused when the short hand is in between the hour.

We have not time to really look around for a watch yet, but I have the intention to go City chain to source for one, as a final resort, since it has wide varieties of watches.

Luck was on my side, yesterday during lunchtime, I came across this watch stall in the market place. The stall has so many different types of children watches, so choosing one was not an easy task. Finally, i bought one pink color watch for her.

In the evening, when I reached home and gave Anthea the watch, she was very happy and kept asking me where I bought it from. After that, she asked her daddy to help her to put it on. Then after, she becomes our home Time-keeper. She kept reading the time and the most amusing part is – she slept wearing her new watch…:)


Glad that she likes her little new toy and hope that with this, her skill on timekeeping will improve.

We have another new TOY in the ACES family - Starhub Cable TV - KID CHANNELS (Disney Channel, Nickelodeon channel & Cartoon network). We decided to trade in the World news group to this Kid group mainly because of the change in our lifestyle.

So far, Anthea and Anders are enjoying the Disney channel pretty much, especially during dinner time because Mr. Bean (animated) is on from 6.30pm to 7.00 pm (Mondays to Fridays). This make feeding Anders much easy since he is able to sit down and watch the show.

Also on Nickelodeon, they have educational kid shows like Blue Clues, Dora the Explorer, Hi – 5 etcs. So it is quite a treat for the children.

Well, our lifestyle has certainly changed a bit after siti returned to Indonesia. So, we are adjusting day by day to make logistics work more smoothly.

Hi LZ Mommy,

What's next in the "pipeline" of common things..haha.

Well, important benefit of the Kids show is to keep them occupied for at least 1/2 hr to 45 minutes so i can do my chores... : P

Hi Jean,

Well, i must admit that it is not easy to run a household with 2 young kids and a not so domestically inclined hubby.

I know i have to DO IT, otherwise, this house will "collaspe".

Honestly, i think for most of the home, the PILLAR of STRENGTH is the MOMMIES.

cheers,
astee
