Opportunity Costs (or rather Gains)

Yeah, Mummy is glad that she has made the decision to attend the Korean lessons only twice a week instead and not to go on days when her darlings wake up very early in the morning (which often resulting in them being sleepy and grouchy halfway through the lessons and Mummy couldn't focus in class).

Now, Mummy can have more "me" time to do things that I like, eg. blogging, serving web and going after some nice Korean, Japan and Hong Kong dramas/movies. So far, I have watched "1 Litre of Tears (J)", 10 Promises to My Dog (J)", "Seducing Mr Perfect (K)", "The Art of Seduction (K)", "The Classics (K)", "200 Pounds Beauty (K)", "Forensic Heroes II (HK)". All strongly recommend.

Of course, the greatest gain is to be able to spend more quality "us" time with my darlings. Mummy enjoys doing craftworks with them. Here's some fun we had together.

First is the CNY deco for the house. The 福 character as shown in the picture was made up of many red packets which Mummy brought over from Singapore.

Mummy then learned how to make fish using red packets and hence used up the remaining red packets to make some for her teacher and classmates in her Korean class, hoping to bring good fortune to everybody in face of the looming economic crisis.

Here's the crowns which my darlings love cos' there's the Pororo stickers. The stickers have movable parts and hence will make some sounds whenever they shake their heads.

We have also made flags of different countries using different means (eg. colourings, pasting, tearing), will share more about them in another post.

Doodling on the wall is something that most kids will love. My darlings enjoy doing so with different medium (crayons, markers, highlighters, colour pencils). See their great work behind.

They also love the roleplaying sessions with their bunny hairclips. Here's 2 little bunnies holding the flowers which we had made in our fun sessions.

We also have more hands-on lunch sessions, here's 2 to share using my Cutie's favourite ingredient - zucchini.









Well, won't you be glad of my decision too if you were in my shoes.
