Dilly Dally Princess Star

I've decided to "threaten" this girl after finding out from her form teacher that she has been slow in completing her work in school. I told her that perhaps she is not suitable to study there since she "cannot catch up" ... Know what's her reaction?? Hahaa, she freaked out immediately and cried for long and begged me to allow her to continue there as she will miss her friends for sure! Well, I told her that she has to prove to me that she is fast (yet accurate and neat) and that she doesn't dilly dally and gets distracted easily. Guess what? Today, her form teacher came to me and reported that she's the 1st to submit her written work!! Hahahaaa... who says she is slow?? I know she CAN do it but she choose NOT to.

Fun Time

The kids were having fun doodling and playing in HARMONY before Jamie heading to school. This is really rare, trust me. They usually snatch, argue, tease and sometimes hit each other. Surely have things to iron out for them. So can you imagine, I have to play the middle-man every day, just to make sure they don't harbour any grudges at such tender age.

School Bus

We took a short bus ride (2 bus stops away) and walked 8mins by foot to reach Jeremy's school. After that, I gotta rush home by bus again so that I can spend time with Jamie for another 1hour b4 sending her off to school again! It's such a tiring experience especially under the hot sun so a decision has made to engage the school bus service for Jeremy started this Wednesday. Of course this boy is over the moon !!

Bisphenol-A Free Bottles

Was surfing the net for some info and I chanced upon some forum mummies discussing about the dangers of using plastic milk and water bottles. I quickly goggled and found out many information and without much hesitation, I bought these for peace of mind.

So I gave her a piece of my mind and then this morning, I revised chinese spelling wif her (left is testing her see if she knows or not. Right is after revision) which will be next Monday. And I am very pleased wif her handwriting this time so I gave her many kisses.

Last Activity B4 Bedtime

Promised them that they will have a painting session b4 retiring to bed. Nothing special except I was so surprised to find out that Jeremy knows that yellow & red becomes orange!!

Anxious Mummy

Not easy coaching him though he has improved alot since started school in January. But still I am glad that I've been doing some work wif him daily ever since this year. I am crossing my fingers that when he is in Nursery come next year January, he should be able to catch up with his peers (majority already turned 3 and some turning 4!) after his 3rd birthday in December.

Balloon Sculpture Workshop

I was told that this is a very good workshop so I signed up from my church the moment I received an email invitation. Being a timid when comes to balloon, I struggled almost throughout the 3hours hands-on workshop! But still, I've managed to take home my masterpieces. Above are sm of my fav :)

Jeremy 2nd School Excursion

I went along with Jeremy to Jacob Ballas @ Botanic Garden this morning from 945am - 1245pm. As you know today's weather is so humid and hot... and walking under the hot sun with Jeremy can be straining and tiring for me. But still that's okie as long as this little boy is happy at the end of the excursion.

Wink to Learn

Got this from a fren lately and I've been diligently showing it to both of them daily. Din expect anything out from them except hoping that some how they will benefit it eventually. As usual this morning, I turned it on for Jeremy to watch b4 heading to the school wif them. Halfway thru' he suddenly spoke to our helper in Mandarin " Qing2 Ni2 Bang1 Wo3 Na2 Shui3 Hu2" (Can you hold my water bottle for me, please?) , Wa! I was impressed !!

Another Vintage Computer Game

Another game that amused the kids after their afternoon shower.

Computer Game

As I was packing up stuff to move to new house, found this very old handheld computer game that was given by my godbrothers when I was in primary school. It was my 1st game set I got it from my hospital bed ... wasn't well 'fit' in my younger days, so this was given to console me.

Stomach Flu

Jamie is down with stomach flu after Jeremy had it on Monday. Mrs Melissa called me at 1pm said she vomitted 3x and that I should bring her home. Rushing back from new house, I quickly brought her to see a doctor. She is resting now, no more vomitting spells. Pray that she will have a speedy recovery by tmr. Meanwhile, back home, she wanted to do a sandart craftwork b4 nap. So I let her be.

Amazing Race

This is my #2 PV excursion. But this time, my 3hrs 45mins clocked at the end of the day, I can boldly say its my "hard earned" hours!! Imagine following the children running around the vicinity, with just a clue on hand, going from pit stops to another .. a total of 9! After 2hrs under the hot sun, we've completed 8 pit stops, racing back to school with the #1 champion title won!!! Yea, well done children!!

Chinese Spelling

Dun say I am Kiasu ok? I've "ruin" at least twice when I've missed coaching her chinese spelling last month remember? Anyway, its always better to be KS then sorry rite? Chinese spelling next Monday, btw.... gee...
