3D Under the Sea Art & Craft

We did (I think I did the most!) this during our free time. Nice??

Backdated

Jamie started to swallow capsules last month, 11th when she suddenly out of the blue, asked me if she can try to swallow. And to my surprised, she did it!! And now, its so much easier to feed her supplements. And this Jeremy, upon seeing how his sister did, he also asked me to allow him to try. Guess what? He did it too!!! That's the power of peer pressure, whahhahaaa!

Story Island Holiday Programmes (8-10 Dec)

Today is the last day of the morning camp and here is Jamie receiving her "award" for being the best script memorising kid. I think she has enjoyed herself very much during the 3 days camp cos at the end of the last day, she requested to study at Story Island again (after 1/2yr break).

School Uniform

Finally settled her uniform this afternoon! *pardon me wif her crank, tired look as we went directly to the school after the chinese camp*

Maclaren Quest

Josh doesn't like the Lucky Baby Capella stroller (sold it off lately) & I managed to buy over this from a fren whose gal has outgrown. I think I've made a right choice... see how relaxed Josh was? This was his 1st time riding on it and b4 long, he had already dozed off!!

4 Mois @ Baby Sling

I have almost forgotten that I have this sling and before I can use it on longer period, its already sold to a mummy! Joshua seems to like it so I will have to get another sling from a fren who is using another one fot her gal.

Sold Bicycle

Glad that this bike was sold to a nice mummy for a norminal fee! Here was Jeremy doing his "last" ride on the bike. Anyway, he doesn't like pink and been pestering me to get him a blue one instead.

Bye, Bye! My Fav Wallet..

This is my best wallet ever so far... I liked its color and the design.

New Shoes

Jeremy outgrown shoes pretty fast. Still remembered the last time I got him a pair of shoes was when his feet no longer fit into his shoes which he wears to school earlier this year. Since its his birthday, that gives me an excuse to get him 1 new pair.

Happy Birthday Jeremy!

Cannot imagine 4 years ago, I'm already in hospital waiting to give birth. Jeremy is a special child to me. He recognised my voice right from birth! He was a little fragile and his heartbeat rate was rapid hence was in ICU for a day or so and couldn't swallow down milk. We were very concerned and prayed hard. Thank God he started to drink well after our 1st closed up visit to the neonatal care on the 2nd day. So he was off the drip and on the 4-5th day, we all went home together. Anyway, we didn't put up any grand party for him but decided to give him little surprises throughout the day. Here's the 1st 3 surprises so far.

Turning 4 Tomorrow....

Jeremy is recovering very well and thank God for giving me wisdom in bringing him to see a family doctor yday morning. His fever has already subsided since late last night after administering of antiobiotic to him. He is as per normal today and by tomorrow we should be able to celebrate his birthday as planned. Yea!

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.
