Hurray ! We Are Going!!!!

Yea finally can go for our long awaiting holiday trip!! Jeremy is getting much much better and I can say he has almost recovered. So I will be taking a short break from blogging liao...

Happy Birthday, Ah Po

I bought a fruit cake for mil's birthday and you guessed what? Jeremy gave us a pleasant surprise when he sang the birthday song to Ah Po for the 1st time!! Nobody teach him some more!!!

Numbers Sequence

Jamie started on proper handwriting practises (dot-to-dot, tracing, coloring etc) when she was barely 2.5yrs old. Around 2, she did many pre-writing stuff like pouring of beads/beans/water from left to right container, threading, fingers exercising like playing playdough and peeling of hard boiled eggs' shells. I am glad she started it early as her teachers commented that she is very good in fine motor skills for a 46mths kid.

Self Made Banana Muffins

Was very inspired to try out the cupcakes muffins and if its successful, I'm thinking of using this for Jamie's birthday party at her school instead of the typical birthday cake. But its doesn't seems to be that easy as our conventional oven kept giving me trouble along the way.

Cordyceps Herbal Tonic Soup

Brewed this for Jamie to consume to build up her immune system as well as for general well being purpose. Read up more from this link.

Assessment on 16th May

Brought Jamie for a free assessment supposingly to enrol her for June Holiday Programmes (v.unlikely & I just wanna know how she fair since she'll be assessed by trained teacher). The results turned out to what I expected. The teacher showed her some words (extracted from K2) and she can read most of them. So recognition of words is not a problem BUT she is a bit shy (or dunno how to answer?) & needed some prompting when teacher tried to engage in a conversation with her.

Counting Down....6 Days!!

Looking at the rate Jeremy is recuperating, I'm getting more nervous and panicky each day ends. Why? Our holiday trip to Bintan Clubmed lor! But seriously dunno if he will get well fast enuff or not? He still has fever like a roller coaster throughout the day and since Day 1, I have not been sleeping well in the wee hours. Waking up pacifying a sick and cranky baby can be such a challenge for me!

My 3rd Mighty Saver Achievement!

Jamie was awarded the Bronze badge for completing the 3rd card. And I secretly banked in $500 to get a bigger mystery gift (comprises of penci case, eraser, luggage tag & a pencil) so that I can reward her as and when she behaves well. So her 1st reward, the pencil case!!

Egg Plant Has Migrated !

The plant has grown so much that the egg shell cracked! So I moved it out to one of mil's plant. Also see the yellow cactus above? Also moved out as it has grown so big that the pot no longer can hold it.

I Did it Again

I am very proud of Jamie. She is getting better in cutting using scissors.Well done !!

Bu-Bu

This is what Jeremy will say when he sees the nebuliser. Why Bu-Bu? Well, its the sound that the machine produces lor !!! :P

Sleepless Nights

Jeremy has been coughing badly and so does his runny nose. I didn't sleep a wink over the weekends as the poor boy kept waking up ,having difficulty in breathing. Need to bring him to his PD later to suck out the mucus in his throat & nose so that he will feel better. Probably need to nebulise too.

Computer Lesson

Found this Elmo cdrom and so Jamie had fun playing it in the morning. With the mini mouse, she is now able to control and click the mouse herself.

New Gadgets

Bought 2 more to add to Jamie's current playdough set. This is very fun and can have hours of hands on and creativity!!

Hurray! It's school holiday!

Every time before term's break, Jamie's school will have a mini concert with the morning & afternoon sessions pupils. As usual, we went to her school and managed to watch part of it before heading to the wet market.

Infection

After almost 3months free from virus and bacteria infection, Jeremy is down with runny nose. I'm crossing my fingers that both kids will be well again to enjoy our holiday trip this coming June.

Twins

Levine, same as your weird double egg yolks le except mine is the salted egg :D

I Can Do It

This morning Jamie came to me wif 2 cut out triangles which she did it herself. Then she said, I can make a star! After that, she asked me to draw her a smaller star which she cut it out. Nice?

D.I.Y Coin Bank

So Jamie will ask papa for some coins every time he is back home. Hope she will remember that. :D

Flash Cards

I chanced upon the DVD format of workout flashcards from Baby Brain at Kiddy Palace yesterday and decided to get it since its only 20% off. Minimal work from me as I just make sure I turn on the TV & DVD player and everything will auto pilot on its own. Cool! (I still read I Can Read with Jeremy a book daily while Jamie is now on another series of Chinese story books~ Huayu Baoku from A-Star Interactive) .
