'Painters' @Home Work

It's been a few years and we thought it'd be a good time to have a fresh coat again for the coming lunar new year.

Actually, it was hubby's idea but his enthusiasiam died down slmost instantly after suggestion and I had to keep asking him before he finally relented, lolz. So today, he got me to send Renee to school together and after our breakfast, we went to get the paints and then it's more packing work for me before I left to pick Renee.

Took Renee to the mall for some groceries before packing lunch back and as usual, she got all excited to see her papa at home. Usually, I'd try to get her to nap asap even when before hubby's gone out but today, seeing her papa painting the ceilings in his cap, she didn't want to(she had answered YES when I asked her on the way if she'd like to nap), hahaha. Hey, this might be a good time to let her try out the 'no-nap' routine I thought and so, stayed awake she did, :).

I was feeling very tired for not having enough sleep, so I decided to skip Renee's vilion practice and helped hubby with the paintwork. I didn't do much, just the touching up of the edges but boy, I still ached like mad 'cos there sure are alot of edges, hahaha.

And whilst we were both busy with painting, Renee couldn't stand the boredom and told me that she wanted to practice her exam pieces herself. Oh woah, it's been awhile since she's done that and although I told her she can rest, she still took out her violin and made me adjust the bow and put on the shoulder rest. Then, she said she wanted to try a new piece which, thanks to the pressure of her forthcoming exam(due to this, she had to learn the 'theory' part more vigorously), she managed to play it! We were happy, needless to say, lolz and I really hope she would not shy away from her examiners on her exam day.
