Marcus is soooooooo ...

sorry, i need to write about my children. myself, no updates, like that, back to my old self again, drifters drifting our lives away. sianzzzzzzz

marcus had bought some trains and train set on sat. but on monday, think he needed to buy another train set to add to his collection, so since monday, he has been harping on buying another train set, juz like an old man, harping on it non-stop. can even ask the daddy to go and fetch mummy so that they could all go shopping centres together. thought of so many excuses.

so last nite when i reached home, he came to me and was so nice to me suddenly. anyway, brought him to the compass point. on the way, he was like giving directions to go to the shopping centre.

when we reached kiddy palace at compass point, he started to look for the set he wants to buy. at first, i thought he wanted to buy trains to add to his collection, but no, he wanted to buy the tracks to add to his collection. it was like $89.95, on offer somemore. i told him, marcus, give me 10 good reasons why i should buy this for you, it's not your birthday.

he goes to show me the tracks, there is a train inside, altho he didn't come out with 10 good reasons, but he was convincing. his last two words, 'i like', power! well, some may think that i'm spoiling him, but i think he has waited long enuf (2 days) for this. and he was really quite convincing in persuading me. that bought my heart.

then of course, not to neglect mabel, she also bought a train, so all in all, total $119.90. heartache, a little. but worth it to see the smiles on their faces and their appreciation.

of course i warned marcus that this is the last toy i'm going to buy for him. no more. he has already spent almost $200 on trains and train sets in a span of 4 days. such an expensive hobby he has.
