Teachers' Day Gift

I came up with the design and we did it together. Too bad I don't get one for myself though I consider myself a teacher to Jamie.

Telescope

Papa took out Ah Gong's telescope, hoping to have a closer look of the moon. But its was a cloudy night, too bad then!

Playdough Time

Since I'm free from Jamie, I quickly took out Jamie's playdough and played with Jeremy for a short while. He is now better with his pinching skills.

Jamie's 1st Camping @ Home

Bought this tent for quite a while and have been kept away since then till few days ago when CQ promised Jamie that he will "camp" with her one of these days.. So here it is! An Enormous tent indeed!

Vegetable Farm Visit

This is Jamie's 2nd excursion with her school. They are learning about Fruits & Vegetable this term. I love to send her off for such school excursions as I think she probably enjoys better going out with school. Click here for more details about Aeroponic Vegetables.

My Hobby Craft

Am combining our creative ideas and hopefully to run my 1st art & craft lessons at home this coming September school holiday.

Twinkle Twinkle Litte Stars

These are the stars that Jeremy has been awarded for passing urine in the toilet bowl and he is completely off diapers during the day at home. Toilet training is about being consistent and persistent in training and I'm glad I did it this time!

Simple Wrapping

This may seems boring and uninteresting but its surely not an easy task for her! Sometimes we don't need complicated craftworks to keep them busy. Just this, Jamie is able to exercise patient, concentration, motor skills in using the scissors and learning how to wrap the box.

Up the Stairs

These days, Jeremy loves to climb up and down the staircases by himself. He is an active boy who runs, jumps, skips and hops alot!

NDP Celebration

This is the part 2 celebration which took place at my estate here. Road block started at 2pm till 12mn. I brought Jamie there around 645pm since she already taken her dinner while Jeremy was still having his nap. Quite a good time for family bonding and for kids to roam around the road aimlessly (sounds like what Jeremy did!!).

Arts Lesson

We did 2 simple art & craft b4 Jamie went to school. The first is a spinning windmill & the other is a pirate hat. We also did the gliding plane. Simple, easy to follow and almost effortless!!

My Turn

While my sprained right foot is recovering pretty well, the flu bug has caught hold of me this time. If I tell you how I got it, I'm sure you will feel the same way as I do. Anyway, I got it when I "accidentally" swallowed up the entire bowl of "bacteria" soup from CQ's left over. How come? Haiz..... thanks to our DM lor..shall not lament over it. Thank God I'm getting slightly better today, just hope that I will not pass on to any of our family members.

Colorful World

This is how Jamie perceives the world in her own interpretation. She loves to use more than 1 colour pencil when she gets down into colouring. Very neat & beautiful. Isn't it ?

SSO Concert @ Botanic Garden

I'm not into such concerts but when a friend told me that there's one at Botanic Garden, it triggered my interest ! When we reached the venue, it's already 1/2hr into the performance. Nevertheless I enjoyed the short symphony at the Garden!

Mister & Missy Star

It's her favourite time again. Ya, she loves to use scissors to cut into a star shape. This time, she said she wanted to make a Mr & Ms Star. I love to see the way she puts her soul & mind in it when she cuts.

Helping Out in the Kitchen

It's Saturday and Jamie has just returned from her mandarin speech & drama class. Obviously I do not have any activities for Jamie and upon seeing the dirty dishes in the basin, I casually asked her to help out. Without a word, she ran to the bathroom with a step stool!

Finally Jeremy can sit side by side with Jamie to watch the NDP on TV!!

Happy 42th Birthday, Singapore!

Since its Singapore's birthday & we have nothing to do in the morning, I quickly squeezed out some red paint, few brushes, rug & a drawing board to start our Singapore flag painting! Good thing our flag is not as complicated as some countries and yet not to easy to bored the kid :D

JCK NDP Celebration

Jamie reached school ard 840am, late 10mins as this mama had an injured right foot days ago and is on bandage lor. So we walked slowly. As usual, I brought our digicam along. Took some videos and few pixs while at the same time enjoying their mini concert. This time , they even have a short magic cum balloon show! Very entertaining indeed!

Chinese Writing

This should have been done months back. Anyway, she's learning to write her chinese name. Today we did the surname "jiang". This is the easiest to practise. The difficult part comes when she needs to write her own name. Eg

Snip, Glue & Sequencing

Recently I bought 3 sequencing books suitable for Kindergarten till lower primary level for Jamie to learn. Today she's doing K's level. Pretty easy but needs some time to observe, digest and relate the pixs into a simple story that I asked her to form verbally.

20 Months Old

Jeremy has grown alot more now. And he is very vocal, loves music & piano and he is also physically active as well! He talks even more and at this age, he can follow 2 simple instructions at a go. He is capable of telling you certain shapes and colors, he can run pretty fast, jumps a little off ground & loves to jump into the 0.9m deep swimming pool wif his float unaided....... the list goes on.....

Doodle Doodle

I love to see Jamie draws. She talks alot while drawing and often engaging in her own imaginary world. So I quickly snapped and eavesdropped!

Hey Look at My 2nd Prize!

This is Jamie's 2nd prize from the Sports Day. I think 2nd prize is better than the 1st prize. A bag. Sounds boring ya?

JCK Sports 2007

Today is Jamie's 1st time participating in a Sports Day. I'm equally as excited and happy as her! It started from 9 to 1130am. Although its just a children's event, but I am amazed with the school's logistics and all the preparations work! Will be loading some pixs and perhaps a video clips if possible. Stay tune!

IMM Outdoor Water Playground

I heard about this newly built playground since about 1months plus and since Jamie need not have to go to school (am session sports day), might as well bring the kids out for a short while. Jeremy enjoyed himself so much more than Jamie as he is not as frightened of the fountains as his jie-jie. Pls bring extra sets of clothing if you are planning to go there.
