Kumon Puzzles

Managed to get good lobang for some very durable, thick easy to fix puzzles for the children. Particularly like the individual boxes to store the puzzles. Very organised. Hope to get all the transportation themes for Jeremy so as to create a deeper & keen interest in solving the puzzles.

I Want To SLEEP!!!

I am not good in taking nice shots but this particular one I love it!! I like to see Joshua's different types of expressions.

Falling ill First Time!!

How can a baby who is breastfed falls ill at 3months 20days old? Isn't it too soon?? Beats me.. this is what happened to Joshua today. Apparently he develops phlegm while coughing and then has runny nose out of the sudden. Nobody is ill except him. Good thing I managed to find a paediatrician nearby and quickly took him to see the PD.

Double Eyelid

See his double eyelid???? Dunno y it suddenly appeared on BOTH eyes!! Yes both.. usually only on one of his eyelid. Very beautiful big eyes indeed...

Self Explore

Joshua has been "admiring" his fists since weeks ago. And he loves to put both into his little mouth!! Oh gosh!

Qian Zi Tong

Initially wanted to get this to train Jeremy but ended up I think Jamie appreciates this much better. Nevertheless I will still be using this to introduce new words to him on day to day basis.

Yea, It's School Holiday!!!

The children are finally on holidays and this would means that I will be busier than ever!! Hence am planning a series of workshops and activities to keep them occupied.

Final Year Assessment

Met Mdm Soh for Jeremy's academic assessment after a year of study at JCK. He has indeed made good progress in almost all areas of assessment. My only concern is ...when is he going to write ah??? Other than that, he is considered an above average kid among his peers.

Good Bye, JCK!

All the K2s were on stage this morning for their last performance before leaving the Kindergarten. They sang about 6 songs, each holding a candle. Really missed those days when Jamie was on stage performing wif her classmates.....these shall be good memories for a lifetime.

Early Birthday Celebration

Jeremy wanted to do it in school and so I did one for him wif goody bags & a cake chosen by himself just a day before school holiday starts tomorrow. He was soooo happy n I am glad to see him so independant & sensible now vs a year ago. Here's a photo of Mdm Soh, his form teacher wif Jeremy.

P1 Orientation

It was early, 9am. Jamie along wif CQ and I were at the school's orientation this morning. We were separated from her the moment we were there. We were ushered to the hall and briefed for an hour's of introductions from the principal and various teachers-in-charge. The next 1/2hr or so was more of administrative whereby we have to fill in & submit various forms. Everything ended around 11am. Didn't buy any textbooks or uniforms at the moment. Oh yes, Jamie said she was "tested" in English & Maths as well as some reading. Overall, she said its easy. Hmm, the school will inform us which class she will be allocated next month. Pray that she will be in one of the better class.

K2 Final Meet the Teachers Session

Today was Jamie's last and final round of meeting her teachers. We were kind of late (reached almost 12noon whereby the latest time to meet the teachers was 1230pm!) and I thought there shouldn't be much crowd afterall it began at 830am. However I was wrong! There were still a handful of parents who were like me, who also came late!

*****

Anyway, somehow I wasn't very eager to know how she faired this later part of the year but was rather busy bringing her around the school, taking photos wif her friends and giving out farewell gifts to the principal and teachers. After meeting the form teacher and Yan Lao-Shi, it was concluded that Jamie has "run the race well" and I'm happy wif her performance. She wouldn't have gone so far if not because of what God had done in her life. Praise the Lord!!

**extracted from her portfolio that the school has diligently compiled.**

Aural Mental Arithematic Practise

After months of twice weekly training, we finally see some results from Jamie. This was recorded impromptu late last night at almost 11pm.

Closed Up Shots

Taken by CQ. And its so much nicer than those I bought from the school's official photographer which we had paid $12 for the photos cd.

Night Scenary

This is one of the photos that I like. CQ had the opportunity to capture some very nice scenic photographs during his short 4-5days stay.

Farewell Gift

Jamie will be distributing all these to her classmates today. I've also included a self laminated card wif her email address & blog address on it. Aren't the ladybugs cute? And coincidently, there's ONLY 1 yellow coin bank which I've instructed her form teacher to pass to her later on.

And I will prepare some farewell gifts too for her teachers in school....

Yahoo Messenger w Papa

This is Jamie's first time on ym and guess who was she talking to ?? Papa lor who was in Australia for the past few days on work commitment.

Going 3 Months Tomorrow

Canvas Painting

A close fren helped me get a few sets of canvas painting from Gaint and the kids were so excited when they saw it! Jamie wanted to give it to her principal as farewell gift.

Video Clip

This is the one and only one that I captured it down b4 rushing back home to bf Joshua. Jamie can be seen at the 2nd lower platform, 4th standing from the left. Find her?

Invitation

Received this invite from JCK weeks ago. And now it's over... that's fast!! I'm positive that this will leave a good long lasting memory for Jamie in years to come.

Jurong Calvary Kindergarten Graduation Cum Christmas Drama

Brain Blogger IQ Math/Eng lish Book

Bought "Never-Bored Kid" (by Eva Moor) book for Jamie some time ago and since she need not have to go to school in the morning (report to sch by 330pm 4 tonight's graduation), I started her on first few pages. As its meant for age 8-9, grade 3-4, I wasn't prepared to introduce her so early for fear that she might not be able to understand the concept well. Surprisingly, it wasn't that tought afterall!

Full Dressed Rehearsal

Glad I came. Thanks to the bus operator's tipped off. Can see Jamie? She's fourth from the right. I still dun quite like the dress color though the boys do look smart in it.
