Sundry Time

In my previous post I ‘complained’ about going back to my in-laws due to the lack of cooling system. In this post, I won’t be complaining. Instead I just want to share what my in-laws do. My FIL runs a sundry shop and they live upstairs. Period.
As for Ethan, everything he sees there fascinates him. This is one of them.. Do you know what they are doing here?

About Me
Home is where MY heart is.
I am a mother to Ethan boy, a wife to Darling William. I'm a stay at home mum who blogs to break the monotony of life and to avoid feeling jaded. Would love to get to know all the Super Mommies and Daddies and Babies or Singles out there with the hope that we can learn more from each other. Most of all, I am a happy person, and I hope YOU are too.

From my childhood's impressions, those who run sundry shops,mostly are loaded ones,(got money a lot a lot one) but most of them are very simple and down to earth lots too.Ethan was learning how to separate the chaffs from the garlic right? I guess Malay they call durang, in english it is called durang"ing"hey take care now
[Reply]

*roll eyes at Merryn's statement* Who say I cannot teach little children? LOL… I taught a lot of little children and they happened to excel in English. Unfortunately, it can't be said the same with my Alien. *sigh* So stressful. ppl's kids I can teach, own anak, so susah wanna teach.Let me teach you some history… if you pandai… who is famous with…'Divorce beheaded and die, divorced beheaded survived!'? LOL… can you guess?My 8 years old students knows who is famous wif this.

Separating the small red onions from the loose skin by using moving air – that's a good experience for a young child. Seldom nowadays city children get to experience simple things like this.

Bring Ethan there more often. It's a good exposure. I wished I can bring Jonathan to work in my dad's orchard just like what I used to do those days.
