Back to School

Finally all fun & late mornings wake up are over! Thank God for a wonderful week we had! Here's 2 parent-child craftwork to be submitted to school today.

Wall-e

Papa has promised the children for their 1st ever movie excursion on Saturday's night. The kids were all sooo excited about the "big tv" adventure & woke up shortly after their nap (guessed they were really looking fwd to it!). I myself had everything ready for this "big day" too. I cooked noodles for dinner, prepared homemade popcorn & soy milk before we all heading to the cinema!

Vivo City here we come!

Met up with Levine & Ivan for a short afternoon gathering. It's so nice to be able to meet up wif her for a short chit chating and kapo-ing, whahahhaahaa... Thanks for the dessert too! :D

What's Upz?

Wah, too many programmes for the kids till I can't remember what we did on yesterday! However we all had a wonderful time wif Wendy and her 2 kids, playing at the IMM outdoor newly renovated wet and dry playground. After cleaning up, Jamie did a simple craftwork wif Amanda at a booth before we adjourned to Wendy's place for lunch.

Curtains UP!

Just today.... we spent half our day at the new house, to unpack abit of stuff :) See the curtain? Finally ya!!

September School Holiday!!!

It's the start of 1 week holiday for the children and this week, I've stopped all packing n unpacking at the new house just to make sure I've all the time for the children!

My 1st Teacher's Day Gift!!

Received 2 wonderful gifts from church this morning. One came from a 3yo lil gal in my sunday school class. Now I can really feel the joy when you are being appreciated for your service.

1st Parent Volunteer Excursion to Hill Street Central Fire Station

This afternoon was my very first excursion as a parent volunteer at Shuqun Primary School. It's quite a breeze and I must say I have enjoyed myself very much. Down 3hours, hurray!

Happy Teacher's Day

This morning Jamie's school had a mini concert to celebrate teacher's day. It's a cold and drizzling day but the children had a lot of fun watching their favourite teachers performing on the stage! We did 3 heart shaped bookmark cards for her teachers. She indicated it has to be given to Mrs Melissa, Li Lao Shi and Mrs Tan. I supposed these are the teachers that are closest to her.

Kids' Room

Our sofa finally has arrived! While waiting there, I quickly finished up the wall decals that I have bought from wee gallery in the children's room. Nice!

Parent Volunteer Programme

Received a call this afternoon while I'm on my way to fetch Jeremy from school. It's from Shuqun Primary School asking me to go for interview as a parent volunteer! Kind of surprise cos I thought the application already closed and very unlikely I will have any chance (though I did emailed to query after the unsuccessful application at Rulang). The interview was swift and I was accepted on the spot! Ask me why I'm so excited afterall its not a very popular school. Hmm, well, ever heard of this hokkein saying, no fish prawn also can?? Hurray!

Books .. Books.... Books

Today I finally sold off all the 4 bookshelves to 2 buyers!! Yippee!! And after moving 60% of the children's books, only then, I realised that's so many books that I have invested for them and we are soon running out of shelves in their new bedroom :o

Bots & Nuts

Ikea came this afternoon to fix up quite a number of furniture we've bought recently for ournew house.... mainly for our children. It's soooo Ikea!

A Pleasant Surprise

After seeing her progress report card abt 2wks ago, I'm uncertain or rather quite firm that she will probably not be given an award for this term. Just before I transferred her to this class abt 1.5mths ago, the teacher subtly told me that her class will be more competitive vs the previous class she was in. But when she gave a brief description of this child, mentioning that this child only joined in at the middle of the term, attended 6 lessons, in my heart, I still din know that it could be Jamie till her name was read out. Jamie, once again, proved to me that she does work very hard during lessons although she is playful & sometimes gets distracted in class. Praise God & all glory goes back to Him!

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.
