While daddy & kakak went cycling, mummy & adik walked on lakeside, around wall kitchen garden & had a picnic..on the way home drove past lovely golden yelow rapeseed field..
As the title suggests - doodles about me and my family (and sometimes my friends and other people, and things I feel merit some sort of mention)

Spring cleaning starts today!!
Easter holiday is here again & its time to do some spring cleaning. someone said to me last month "easter holiday ni kita spring clean garage (store) ya"..yeah right when he was still in bed at 10am! I was already up & running since 8.30 am after a bit of lie-in, done 2 loads of washing, cleaning, changed bedsheet & duvet in lil missy's room..
Its time to "turn the mattress" too but apparently the new mattress that we bought doesnt need turning, just "simply rotate".
And kamar sprayed the febreeze bedding spray as well..macam csi pulak hahaha!!

God's creatures great and small
Spring is here, finally, almost.
I put out some bird seeds and peanuts to attract small birds in the garden - which I managed to in a sense, but also managed to attract a dove and a squirrel who feasted like there was no tomorrow.
The squirrel also did the same thing.

So I moved the feeders to hang from the tree branches, and guess what?

New Piano
After about 8 years, I finally decided enough is enough. The old piano was beginning to become a burden - the keys kept cracking due to inferior plastic used in the manufacturing process, so the keys kept getting "sticky" and sometimes stuck in the down position.
Went to the "Music Room" last Saturday and decided to get the girls a new piano. We settled for a Yamaha Digital YPD162R - a slightly smaller but not short of functions piano.
Managed to get 18 months interest free payments because the Arts Council sponsors a programme that helps parents buy music instruments for their kids who are under 18.
Piano arrived at around 12:45 pm by UPS. Noni was at home so I didn't have to come back. Nowadays, everything follows IKEA - you have to assemble it yourself. Good thing I had 2 helpers:

- 1 to read instructions
- 1 to help carry the piano and hold it steady while I fix the screws
Kids love the new piano as they can play smoothly on it without having to stop and unstick the keys. Well worth it when you hear them playing - really surprises you sometimes how good they have become; not yet the grand master type, but good enough to make you very happy. Alhamdulillah.
