Times are bad and retailers are trying their best to 'keep' their customers. For the past couple of years, the malls here have been upgrading themselves and recently the NTUC Fairprice at Rivervale Mall had been fully renovated and it's now very nice. Today, the Cold Storage @ Compass Point has almost finalised with its re-arranged layout, which also look alot better! They even played soft jazz music for the shoppers, lolz.
On the homefront, we've found Renee's getting too hooked on the TV lately(she could even have it on whilst playing with her toys) and that's not good. Not wanting her to cultivate a lazy mind(which already beginning to, hahaha), we decided to 'cut off' her TV watching. We've told her so yesterday after she lazily tried to shorten her violin practice(just 5 mins) and she willingly agreed. We've expected that she'd put up a protest today but surprisingly, she went on the whole day(well, almost the whole day except the 1/2 hr when I needed her to drink her barley water then I switched it on to distract her abit) without much protest - she did request for her VCDs with the reason that VCD ain't TV programme, hahaha. Wanted to cancel off the children tvs from our SVC package but there isn't any interesting one that I could replace it with, so I told daddy to just leave it and we could just let her watch occasionally OR on Saturdays/Holidays. Let's hope we could all work-on/stick-to this arrangement on a long term basis...
PX came abit later today and only finished her chores at ard 8pm. However, she still stayed and played with Renee for a good 45mins and her reason was that she's always find Renee's very 'creative' in her plays and she's enjoyed it. It is nice of her, really, but then again, I hope it won't happen too often, 'cos it's pretty disruptive for me when Renee's time/routine is jumbled up like this, :D... Good thing Renee still managed to go to bed by 11pm(and not any later!).
Talking about 'sleep'... Renee has, for the past week til now, accumulated 9 stars for her violin practices and I was wondering why she hasn't requested for any exchange. Today, when I told her that it's her 9th star she's getting and
she exclaimed excitedly : "Oh, 9 stars! Papa promised that he'll sleep with me when I have 10 stars!"
Puzzled, I asked : "are you sure you want to exchange your stars for papa to sleep with you?"
Renee : "yes"
Me : "......"
Renee : "but 10 stars means 10 days, so long....."
Awww, I'm going to tell daddy about this, since this is what he's promised, he would have to fulfil it but I'll just allow her to keep her stars for her exchange, just that she can only insist for her papa to sleep beside her when she's got 10 stars(wonder if she'll really keep to that, she still wakes up at night occasionally and shouted across for him to go over, hahaha).
