Tong grabed my spectacles that I put on the bed beside the pillow. She almost bent it. I said can not play with it and looked at her with a stern face. She received my message and release my spectacles. She said "Sorry" follow by "我生气" (I angry). I laughed and then we laughed together. Why she was the one who felt angry?

We went for weekly stock up. Tong inserted a $1 coin to get a trolley. She sat on the trolley as usual but when she saw her favorite fruit, she yelled to come down. She simply grabed a box of cherries and put it into the trolley. After that she got the grapes, coconut, golden mushroom and etc. Luckily, she didn't mess up the place.

Tong wanted to draw since she woke up this morning. Her tools are papers, drawing board, pencils, pens, brushes, crayons, highlighters... (She took over my stationery box when she was 14 months old).
She wanted to draw again after the afternoon nap and the time we wanted to go out around 6pm. I managed to put her into the car by bringing her an exercise book and a pen. She just fell asleep with a black pen and envelope beside her not her favorite friend Green Tortoise.
Tong can draw on both hands but she prefer using left hand. Her drawings include:
1. circle - she has changed from making "eggs" to "balloons".
2. Oval - Tong told me she has drawn "banana", "papaya" with many seeds inside (her heavier dots for bigger seeds).
3. palm - The outcome was a big palm which was traced on her little palm.
4. feet - Tong not only traced her left or right foot print but both together.
5. cross - One longer line cross with a shorter line.
6. lines - She could draw some "straight and parallel" like lines.
7. wave or zigzag - she asked me to sing the "wave song" when she has drawn the lines.
8. combination - she drew "watermelon" with zigzag lines in a big circle and a small pedicel or stalk on the top!

My little brother came over to my place. He made a wholemeal bread for Tong with his skillful hands and our small baking machine. That was the most successful home made bread ever appeared in our house so far!
I used a baker's oven by having dough making and baking separately so that I can have better control of it. By trying a few methods and knowing the reason behind, you can change ingredient as you like
Dough Making (30 minutes):
1. Mix well a to d ingredient for 3 minutes.
2. Add in 260g water until the dough formed. Knead for another 17 minutes.
3. Mix pinch of salt into 5g water and add into the dough. Add butter(in small pieces or liquid form) and let the dough mix well for about 5 minutes.
4. Add seeds and nuts like sunflower seeds, flax seeds, pumkin seeds, raisin and etc and mix well which takes about 5 minutes.
5. Wait for about 1 hour to raise or till double up the size of the dough.
6. Bake for half and hour. The bread is ready!
