Sew Handy

I finally decided not to ask for a sewing machine. That is after 爸爸 finally agreed to buy one for me. :P I wouldn't have the time to use it so I rather not buy it to collect dust and waste space at the same time. :P

I still find time to sew, especially when I'm stress. And I find it really handy to bring my sewing stuff with me to 妹妹's Chinese enrichment school. It's a great way to pass time (2 hours!). So far I have completed 2 bags, one each on her last 2 lessons, while waiting for her to finish class.

Maybe I might ask for a sewing machine one day again but for the moment, I'm happy with the old fashion way of hand sewing.

Flowery Blossom

Sharing some of the pictures on the flower blooms I mentioned yesterday. Trees on both sides of the road with full blooms.

妹妹's favourite tree with the most flowers in darker pink.

Flowers covered grass which 哥哥 said looked like snow from far.

Seeing Double

Every year around March, the trees along the road from my place all the way to 妹妹's kindergarten will bloom. The trees will be covered in white, pink or dark pink flowers. When there's a gust of wind, the flowers will fall, like it is snowing.

This year the flowers bloomed earlier. The kids and I have been enjoying our daily walks to and fro school with flowers and leaves occasionally falling down from above us and the flowers covered grass.

妹妹 had been trying to catch falling flowers and leaves since the beginning of the week. She had not been lucky but she had lots of fun.

Then this evening, as we walked to fetch 哥哥 from school, we saw rainbow. Not one but two! And it was 2 full semi-circle rainbows!

It had been raining since afternoon and had just begin to stop. 妹妹 was very excited as this was the first time she saw a real rainbow. And how lucky she was to be able to see two instead of the usual one.

The parents in school we all bring out their handphones and busy taking pictures of the rainbows.

When she saw 哥哥, she can't stop telling him to look up in the sky. 哥哥 was excited too as it was his first time seeing a semi-circle rainbow and it seems big and very close. So close that he asked if we could go to the rainbow's end to see if there is some treasure.

When we reached home, we realised we actually had a better view of the rainbows from our bedroom windows. They looked even bigger and closer. The kids didn't have their dinner till the rainbows started to fade. 妹妹 wasn't very happy about it and kept asking what happened to 'her' rainbows. :)

Ps. The kids are not the only one excited over the rainbows. I was very excited too! I haven't seen a rainbow for ages and it's my first time seeing a double semi-circle rainbow too!
