One beautiful morning in my life.

These 2 days, meimei had been waking up the same time as us, accompanying me out to send the kids to school.

This morning, I thought, what the heck, since she's up and about, might as well get her to get ready for school herself and head straight to some light breakfast before her school is opened at 8.

She's so excited and happy with the idea. Probably she wanted me back to send her to school, instead of papa who did the task on Mon and Tues. And she could be early. So it wasn't any problem for her to get bathed and changed by her own in lightning speed.

It was a beautiful morning after all, having breakfast in the cool morning breeze with the early folks. The experience seems so different from the usual weekends brekkies we have. I wonder why.

I enjoyed myself so much with her this morning, sharing a bowl of loe shue fun and talking. She wanna play some 1-2-jum but I told her I wanna chat. I can't remember what we talked about but we both were so happy. It was such a sweet moment to savor.

But when we reached her school, her Mandarin teacher greeted her "jau-an" and asked if she did her homework this time... Apparently it's been 3 times she didn't do her chinese homework (yes, I don't check, I want to instill a sense of responsibility in them. Their homework, not for me to check. Just bear the consequences if they don't want to do them).

Her happiness was shortlived as I told her since she's early, she can sit down and finish it off then. How sad she looked that time. I suppose she was looking forward to play with her friends. I was afraid the dam might burst. But she was ok after all.

I'm now looking forward to more of this early morning brekkies with her, before next year when she goes to school with her brothers. Time is ticking.
