Pokemon...4ever..

Jeremy and Timothy started collecting Pokemon kraks (under the influence of their cousins) sometime early this year.. See below for samples...
When it started, we only have about 10 over kraks. Now, we have more than a hundred of them! This is within a short period of about 4months! The main reason for this superb multiplication was that Daddy got into it as well. As Jeremy has been hoping for these kraks "Mightyena" and "Groudon" for a long time, Daddy would buy packets and packets of kraks when he sees them, in the hope that he would get it in one of the packs.. i must say that this is quite addictive... After more than a hundred kraks, we have managed to get hold of "Mightyena" but not Groudon... With their enthusiasm dying, i doubt we would ever get "Groudon".. By the way, from this collection, i have 2 incidents to tell:
Incident 1: Both of them love to carry their favourite karks with them wherever they go. One night, Timothy placed them in the side pocket of his schoolbag, not knowing that there was a hole. When we left Ah-Ma's house, one of his kraks dropped into the drain through the "metal frame" on the floor.. Daddy said to forget it but mummy insisted on picking it up since much pain was put into collecting them... Mummy was about to crawl into the drain through a small and dirty opening when Daddy suggested to try to lift the "metal frame". My God, that thing must have weighed a ton! it was so heavy... With help from Ah-Ma, we managed to pick up the krak... and it was "Pikachu"! Satisfaction for Mummy! When i think back now, i felt so silly to go through so much just to pick up a piece of plastic!!
Incident 2: Actually, both of them had "Groudon", but they gave it to Joel (not knowing then that this is a powerful character!) They were asked many times if they were sure... and "Yes" was the answer. Too bad....

For the first time ever, Mummy received one gift each from the boys in the family!! So, i must publish this for memory :)
Jeremy made me some wonton in school... Yummy!! And best part of the gift are these words that he wrote...

Timothy made me a wonderful looking cookie....
