Australian citizenship

by wildroseComment Published at 21:5821:5810 comments10 comments136 Visits136 VisitsReport
Woohoo...today is my big day. Tonight I'm going to a citizenship ceremony....Yes..It's my ceremony to become an Australian citizenship. I love this country, I feel secure for myself and my children (who were already as an Australian by decent since my husband is an Aussie). So tonight is my night.

Friday it will be my first year to celebrate Australian Day as an Australian citizen.

Thank you Australian people.....I will honor to be accepted as your citizen and use my privilege in Aussie's way like the rest of the people here.

Aussie Aussie Aussie....Oi oi oi!!!

iPhone

by wildroseComment Published at 17:5317:530 comments0 comments46 Visits46 VisitsReport
Oh I have to share this....I thought it was great to get rid of those sales call who just can't take 'No, thank you' as an answer.

5 minutes ago I got this guy tried to sell like a mobile phone plan and asked my how much I spent a month on mobile phone. I said in we spend for X amount but since we're in cap plan we only pay half of it. And this guy started crapped on about he could give better deal. I said 'No, thanks we're pretty happy with what we had'. He just couldn't take my answer.

So, I came up with this "Well, we waited for iPhone from Apple Mac to come on the market. We're planning to change our mobile to iPhone. So till now, we wouldn't change our plan or our mobile."
I think after he heard about Apple Mac, he didn't bother to push me to listen to his stuff anymore.

Woo hoo....

Pick my own clothes

by wildroseComment Published at 16:1016:100 comments0 comments61 Visits61 VisitsReport
It's so cute....my 20 months daughter started to pick her own clothes this morning. I picked one but she wanted other pairs. So I let her picked. Then after she got an accident by wetting her skirt, I took her to her bedroom to get another bottom pair...again she picked it herself (didn't want the one I chose  for her). Oh well....she becomes a little person with her own choice. Looks like she's very independent little girl........very independent. I might miss her....or be proud of her. I think I choose to be proud of her.

One of picnic ground                                                                  The slide from the tower (somehow I can't make this photo vertical)

The maze also have other activities such as disc golf and mini golf (we forgot to take photos, too busy playing). We had such fun there.

Another surprise for end of year

by wildroseComment Published at 16:2516:254 comments4 comments60 Visits60 VisitsReport
It's been like 2 or 3 years that we've been doing this, my son has a money box and we only let him opened it on his birthday which was on boxing day (26 December). It's amazing how much money you could put away/saving for as little as $2/week. Last year (2006) we counted that he got $100. We've said to him that he could spend $50 for anything that he really wanted and saved $50 toward his saving account in the bank*. He was so excited and he chose to get another star wars transformer (Jango Fett one).

This year, I'm starting to do the same thing for my daughter as well. We will do the same thing that both of them will allow to open their money box and the end of year.

*note: After we counted all the coins at home, and put them in separate bags, My son and I went to the bank and change the coins to paper money. He was so proud to get a $50 note (since we put the other $50 to his bank account).
