There goes ....

A fren just comfirmed that the PV application has already closed for the school that I thought we can try. Hmm, well, at this point, I can only pray that , "God let your will be done, amen!"

Plan B?

Received a call from a fren who told me that she wasn't chosen as a parent volunteer in the school that we also applied for. Immediately I called CQ to check on our status. As my sentiments told me that we may not get it, it turned out the way my sentiments has "predicted"

( extracted from the email replied...)

Dear Potential Parent Volunteers,Thank you very much for taking time to state your contribution in the template provided by the school. After much deliberation and consideration, the panel regrets to inform you that you have not been selected as one of our Parent Volunteers. Decision made by the school is final. However, if you are still interested to register your child in our school, you may want to do so under Phase 2C registration next year.Thank you.Regards

....

Question is, what's next?

So I quickly booted up the desktop and started reading up the other 2 schools that's nearest to us. Decision ? Well, I will be applying as a PV again to the other school that is further from our house. Pray that we will be successful. Whatever it is, I pray that this will be God's decision for our children. Whether it's gonna be the school that we hope they will be is no longer an issue to us.

Away from home

This is Jamie's #2 staying overnight at her Dagu's house. She's soooo excited about the whole thing. I'm glad that she is doing fine there without disturbing her grandparents at night.

Toilet

This is our master bedroom's toilet. Cool!

SSO @ Singapore Botanic Garden

A close friend told me of this performance weeks ago and here we are this evening for an hour of live performance cum dinner picnic at the garden.

Happy 43rd Birthday, Singapore!

Jeremy's school has a mini party to celebrate NDP too! This is the goody he took back today.

Sports Day

This is Jamie's 2nd time participated in her school's sport day. It's 830 to 113oam. It started with all K1 performing 2 pom pom dances as opening for the event. This year, Jamie's class did a relay and they came in 1st! The finale ended with singing few of the Singapore's fav "old time" songs to celebrate tomorrow's NDP!

Story Island Progress Report Level 2

It's time again for the 4 months once progress report card! I am pleasantly glad to find out that she actually extends her creative thinking skills during the chinese lessons. So the John Langrehr Thinking Program does helps. :) There'll be rooms for improvement and more drilling to converse in Mandarin too. Well done, Jamie!

Overlooked

Last month was really a mad rush for me. Blinks of eyes and its gone! And unknowingly, I have been missing revising with Jamie her chinese spelling till I found out yesterday that her spelling is on every Mondays (I thought its on Tuesday, same as her English spelling) ! Today she brought home the exercise book and as expected, I knew it. I felt a need to explain to her teacher so I wrote a short note. Though she got it all wrong, at least she managed to write what she vaguely remembered. And she told me must write something on it even if cannot remember anything, cannot leave any blank. What a courageous girl at such tender age!

Happy Birthday, Elizabeth!

Jamie drew this card for her friend who just had her 5th birthday party last Saturday. They all had lotsa fun enjoying watching the magic show.

Kinderart Artwork

This is Jamie's 1st take home completed artwork from Kinderart at her school. She has been attending an hour of extended art n craft lessons after school on every Wednesdays and she loves it so far! This is how she drew and colored the tree with lines on its trunk and thick branches, the 2 colors sunset too. Interesting right?

More Pixs from Jamie's Party

Finally took the cdrom courtesy from jjpapa's fren, Uncle FS who had graciously agreed to help out to be the official photographer during the party. Will be uploading some interesting pixs here soon.

Jamie's School Cake

This cake was customised by ecreative. I saw this picture from the internet and thought it might be nice to have such cake for her since I couldn't find a suitable star theme cake at all the major cake shops here. It looks simple and plain yet I think its gorgeous too, isn't it?

Happy Birthday, Jamie!

Looking at Jamie now... I really couldn't believe my eyes that she is now 5! It's been 5years I have been home with her, seeing her growing, learning and succeeding in every of her little milestones. This is my priviledge as her mom. I thank God for His grace and loving kindness upon our daughter. I pray that Jamie will continue to grow to become the lady that God has intended for her.

Thank God It Has Been Great!

Wah... finally its over! I thank God for the wonderful party that Jamie and her lil guest had enjoyed so much! I am thankful for our helper who has been my right hand man for all the wrapping of presents, packing of the goody bags, pasting and sticking of labels etc. With her around, I do not rush or fuss over during the preparation for the party. Thank God for my dad & his fren who are willing to tag along wif me. I cannot imagine how I'm going to lug all the barang barang if not for them. And when we reached there, I was so shocked to find some folks & caterer still packing from the previous party 10mins b4 5pm ! Everything was in a mess and without any hesitation, I gently asked for "permission" to do the setup and deco. Just before the party commenced at 6pm, everything was up and ready to welcome the first guest! Pixs to be uploaded when CQ gets it from his colleague who was the photographer for the party. Thank you Fook Sin!

All Ready to Go!

Finally I have finished all the stuff for the party! Hurray!

Count Down

3 days to go before Jamie's birthday party !! I am excited yet worry that things will not turn out as what I intended it to be. I am hoping that the kids will have lotsa fun and most importantly, for Jamie to have a good memory of her 1st party with her friends.

1st Late Submission Homework

It was intentional to submit Jamie's school work later than the cut off date. I was filled with lots of things in my mind in the mist of preparation of her birthday party and our new house on top of the daily chores to follow up with. But I'm glad that we finally did it! We were 2 days late. Here's the final artwork we did w/i few mins when I had the inspirations of how to do up an insect using scraps materials as instructed.

What I'm Busy with?

This week is very crucial for me and CQ. Me ? Yup I'm rushing to finish up Jamie's ballet scrapbook (above) and CQ his photography project with a corporate client as well as the new house. We have never felt so busy before!

Work-In-Progress

Finally see some "real work" going in and out of our new place this morning when I swinged over for a peek. Took some pixs and am pleased with the color selection so far.
