Attend Halloween Party

Over the weekend,Mishu attended a Halloween Party at a local bookstore.As usual on Saturday after Mishu's piano lesson,we hop over to her favourite bookstore for storytelling.I totally forget about the Halloween party until I step in the book store ,see all the balloons and decoration.The previous week I did bring home the storytelling schedule but.....(sigh)..mommy old liao....

These balloons scare the hell out of her!!.They keep bursting when it's hit the spotlight. Mishu keep pressing both hands over her ears.The storytelling is on for the first 30 minutes before snacking time,and then party time! I feel so sorry for not prepare her Halloween costume for this party.Mishu admire other children with pretty costume..*sigh*
The store manager is really a nice guy.He is the one with red hat! Mishu have to line up for face painting.Later she go for second and third round on both her cheek and one on her hand. The gal ask her to choose other design but she still wanna the same design again and again.
Yes,that is Butterfly! Isn't pretty ?
She have no clue how to play some games. Well.... She is the one who left the party and hang around the book shelves..
You see ??.She wondering around here and there...
I told her if she wanna to join the game she have to wait or line up

After 6 rounds of waiting ,at last she get her chance by grabbing the shack and hopping...still have no idea how to hop...We left the party before the party over.Mishu is hungry and tired.She woke up for her piano class without breakfast and lunch.Stay tune for Mishu trick and treat on Halloween!

Apple Picking

Over the weekend ,we went to Apple Picking at Woodside Apple Orchard in Long Island.A Malaysian friend who also live in Long Island come over with her son ,Nelson to join us.Actually she been asking me ,almost every year where we can go Apple Picking in Long Island.Long Island have plenty of winery and farm at the End of island.I check the weather forecast ,it's predicted Sunday is nice and sunny day.I know we are late for apple picking this year.I called few orchards last week to get the direction and information,they told me the farm was closed for the season,come back next year! If we plan to go in Sept,maybe we can "U pick Pear,Peach,or Strawberry" instead of apple picking.Anyway,beggar can't be choosy! Look at the apples on the ground! What a waste,right?

This orchard apple tree is quite low,Mishu just reach the apples without problem. Look what I mean.The apples on the tree is almost reach to the ground.
Golden Delicious apples look deceived,actually it's really crunchy and sweet! We can only "U Pick" at this designated area and they have only 3 types of apple for us to pick.They don't allow us to pick the better grade apples which is big and pretty over where I park my car.

When my mom see this wastage she must feel so sad..I know she will said"so sayang,apples all over the ground".We all know Malaysia import their apples from other 4 season countries.

Mishu and Nelson keep squishing the apples on the ground with their foot!

Mishu keep picking small apples into our paper bag.I bought a peck/bag for $14.00.It's said a peck of apples weight approximately 12-14 lbs.Well,it's comes to $1.00 a pound,right? Same price with supermarket or maybe slightly higher!

Look at Mishu swollen face ,she chewing the apple.

"mummy this is for you,good size,huh"! I told her not to pick small apple

Mishu having fun,picking apples and dancing around

Mishu and Nelson..oh! let me tell you,at first both of them are like dog and cat.Nelson keep complaint about Mishu and later Mishu do the same to him.Monkey see,monkey do.I think both of them are the only child,so they are quite more into them self.

Mishu eating apple

hmmmmmm...taste good...

one more bite...

then she gave it to me,said she full

Red delicious apple but I dunno the name

This red apple is hard and not as sweet as golden delicious type

I love seeing the apples or fruit on the trees;make me smile even I have bad day.This gal wasting apples,told her it's not good to pluck the apples from the trees and throw away

She bite the red apple ,said full liao...

We spend 30 minutes in the farm before heading to another pumpkin patch
Mishu chasing Nelson and his mommy
I think this farm stand have Pumpkin Fair...We realised we have to buy ticket to certain games. We stay for few minutes before heading home coz the kids are hungry and cold.Look at my result!.A peck of "U Pick" apples cost me $14.00.A peck is 1/4 bushel to be exact.I didn't realise the Golden Delicious I picked is over ripe,on the next day I see some bruise on few apples.Luckily Mishu wanna to eat apples as it is.Maybe I will bake some apple pie or cake with the red apple which is hard and not sweet.

my child,my love

Can you believe it,that I actually get really angry at Mishu?.Two days ago,I ask her to dress up,get ready to go out coz it's getting late and dark.I plan to visit a new opening Tanger's outlet nearby. I bath her ,lay out all her dress,asked her to dress herself but she was fooling around on her bed with her Barbie dolls.When I come out from my shower,I see she still in bath towel,yelled at her to get ready.After 5 minutes she dress but upside down ,still no socks and shoes.Told her to put on her shoes while I was checking the lights and doors before heading out to the door.I think she doesn't really care or I'm just talking BS.The funny side is she keep pestering me everyday that she want to go out.I was at my nerves while she still deli-deli ,suddenly I grab her Uncle Joe,throw at the front door. Uncle Joe fell and break his hand...poor Joe Look at Uncle Joe missing hand!! Yes,one of Joe's hand break when the hard impact hit the door.Mishu was crying hard and I feel so sorry that I did that,can't believe I really snapped.She must think I'm a bad mommy,throw and break her toy.I quickly kiss and told her "I love her"..

This afternoon after I finish cooking,I walk into our living room and see this!!.Did you see what I see??.It's really messy,right?.Both father and daughter spend alot of their time in the living room watching TV .Told Mishu to clean up! if not all her toys is going to garbage.
Mishu is good gal,cleaning up her daddy mess too!! must give her credit when she clean up! She love praise...don't we all love praise?

She glue to her TV while cleaning up..Recently we found a really good education channel for her.She love it!

She is forbidden to drink any kind of soda by ME,even though she know her daddy drink plenty of it!

still looking toward the TV set , while I told her hurry up! If I walk away,she return to her favourite spot and continue watching her TV. She know where she going to put away the stuff ..that good,early training is good for gal,right?.
Cans go to recycle bin.She understand what goes to garbage and what goes to recycle bins.

Her daddy's refreshment's can in recycle bin

She go back to her regular spot-potato couch!
I found a pack of pretzel under living room table,told Mishu to bring it to the kitchen. She close the open pretzel bag with bag clip and hang away on kitchen basket.I realised after we come back from Malaysia ,Mishu called every woman- "Aunty" and man-"Uncle"..which is good for Asian culture but it's kind of weird for American culture.Daddy said who is "Uncle"??.he said only relatives called that name not stranger! Told him it's Chinese culture to called someone older by the name"uncle or aunty" not "hey" or "that man"that lady"!!

Look at her!! I bought her this mat when she was 1 year old,she doesn't bother to play or look at it until today! Well,most of the time Mishu entertain herself which is good for me.Eliot said I never been a child or dunno how to be a child,when I make remark that Mishu watching TV ,drink ,play or eat constantly.Well,I guess I never have the luxury to be a "child" when I was Mishu age.Life was tough years ago.I have to work at young age.Today kids can have everything they want especially American kids,right?.
