All About Your Child

Remember Keatkeat brought back a plant from his trip organised by the school? He called it ‘Water-Plant’ then because he was told to water the plant everyday, so it was more like a convenient name.

Today, he asked me if I knew what’s the Real name of the plant. I remembered asking his teacher that very day Keatkeat held that small pot in his hands, but Mdm Normah had no idea.

Any plant experts out there? I haven’t got a clue how to search through Google on such matters, whereby I have nothing but photos. Does Google have a search engine that searches based on photos? *wink*

This is the bud before the flower blooms.

The leaves are pointy but not poky.

The leaves are spread-ed out nicely in the day but gathers together at night, as if they have fallen asleep.

This is the flower, looks a little like carnation.

So far, it’s just pink. Oh silly me, which plant would produce different colored flowers in the same pot.

Just like the leaves, it blooms in the day and closes up at night.

The flower is short-lived, usually less than 36 hours.

Any idea, anyone? Keatkeat would definitely send you his hugs and kisses over to you.

Answer: MOSS ROSE.

Tammy, Keatkeat sent his hugs and kisses to you on a Jet Plane! Thank you! *smile*

My father-in-law was discharged today. THANK YOU EVERYONE FOR YOUR CONCERNS, WELL-WISHES and PRAYERS! *muack*

He is back home resting well now, but will be back in the hospital 4-6weeks later to remove the tube which was inserted to enlarge the gall and remove the stone in it as well.

Throughout the hospitalization, Allan has been taking the 30mins drive from our house to my MIL’s house to bring her to the hospital every morning and evening. Because Allan is a property agent, he has control over his ‘work-timing’, so all these doesn’t really disrupt any of his plans.

However when it comes to being discharged, for ‘unknown’ reasons, both my FIL and my MIL insisted on having their favorite son, my 2nd BIL, to fetch them. My 2nd BIL could not take leave today, but because they were so persistent, my 2nd BIL needed to take an urgent 1hr leave just to please his parents.

It’s an open secret that my 2nd BIL IS my parents-in-law’s apple of the eye. He was the only one whom my MIL cried over when he decided to get married and moved out. She was crying her eyes out that previous night, saying how much she’ll miss him and all of that….but neither my 1st BIL nor Allan could even get close to stir up such emotions in her.

Humans are still humans, made from flesh and blood, a creature full of feelings. Unexplainable feelings.

Why does some people ‘click‘ the moment they see each other?

Why others just can’t see eye-to-eye even though they are family members?

There are just so much into people-people relationships, other than horoscope, zodiac, Ba Zi, up-bringing, experiences….there are also alot of mystery behind it all…That’s the beauty of how all of us are MADE different from the one sitting right next to us, ya?

Though (by right) parents should love all their children equally, but somehow, (by left) in real life that’s not true.

Like my own family, my sis is always the favoured one, maybe because I don’t feel close to my parents at all…. after-all I WASN’T part of their lives till I was 5 years old….

In YOUR family, do you love one kid more than the other(s)?

In YOUR own family, are you the favoured one?

Or are you in the perfect family, where your parents love you and your siblings equally?
