Simple Artwork @ Home

While Jeremy's in school, I quickly opened up this box of art & craft handiworks for Jamie to get down busy wif it for the next 1/2hour before di-di comes home. No wonder, its stressful to see kids idling at home during school holiday. Every now and then, I will have to plan some works & activities to keep the kids occupy so as t0 to make full use of this school holiday.

No More Training Pants

I finally made a decision to stop letting Jeremy puts on disposable training pants at night the moment papa was out on business trip. And this boy indeed has been putting me on my biggest smile every morning. Yea! You did it, son!

Welcome home !

I din blog this as I dun want the "whole world" to know that our "pillar" is out of town on business trip since last Friday. Papa is finally back home wif us!! No more freedom?? Nah.. its more bonding wif us instead ya. Look at Jamie's expression when she saw the gift from papa? Hahaha.... those cars?? Ya for Jeremy. But will only give it to him batch by batch when he is well behave.

Impromptu Handicraft Workshop

I signed Jamie up on impulse. Since the CC is so near to our house now and its only $15 for 2hours of art & craft. After the lesson, I asked her how she felt? Surprisingly, she said she wanted to go again!! Btw, there's only 4 children. 2 are upper primary kid and 1 gal, same age as Jamie.

Bookfest

A fren jio-ed me so we went there this morning. No big crowd. Perhaps recession or its during office hours? Anyway, I dun hv the luxury to browse thru' everything wi the short 2hrs+ wif the kids ard me. But still, managed to grab some good lobangs :)

Free Drawing wif Oil Pastels

This shall be our new activity corner at our new place. Cool!

New IQ Game

I bought 2 brain teaser games last week for Jamie since its so cheap + nowadays Jamie loves to work around wif such IQ by herself. I am happy to see her going into another level of her learning curve. So sometimes, I will bring it along wif me when I bring her out alone.

This is it!!

Jamie's 2nd ballet stage performance is finally here! And this time, I heard that it'll be a grand show. Wahhhhh.....! I think I am much more nervous that Jamie, knowing that she is still an amateur ballet dancer and there's still so many stuff she has yet to do it right. Nevertheless, stressing her is not on top of my list. Exposure to performing arts is my ultimate goal for her, for now. Here's a glimpse of the programs highlights.

Kinderart Artworks

Jamie has been attending once weekly Kinderart enrichment programs after school since the start of term 3. These are her masterpieces she did from Term 3 & 4. I think she has put in alot of effort in it and it does reflects her hardworks in making each and every piece looks nice. Well done and we are so proud of you!

Swimming Lessons

Jeremy has been quite whiny and acts like a baby almost every time he attends swimming lessons wif Jamie. I am a little concern about this weird behaviour especially when he attends nursery next year wif Jamie. I mean, he will just turn 3 and next month, boom!, he is in nursery!! Haha, 3yo kid?? Yes, he is forever a baby boy in our eyes and unknowingly, we have been calling him names like, cry baby, whiny boy. Now the biggest hurdle for him is , will he cry in his new school next year?? Well, I suppose this is always any mummy's worry for our children. If they can cope well in school, do they whin and cry in class, will they bully their friends, or even if they ever listen to their teacher ?? The list goes on............. **(final registration during Jeremy's orientation for next year nursery class)**

Fever Battle

I've been falling in and out of sick cheque lately and the weird thing is, I am not coughing like a whole lot of HE** or a sore inflammed throat that couldn't even swallow sips of water! So I am quite pissed off, lying motionless on bed, trying to recuperate as much as I can wif that little time I've alone w/o the kids. And just last night, I suddenly developed high fever and vomitted. Am alright again today but just wondering what kind of viral infection am I contracted wif???

10 am Tooth Fairy Play By SRT's The Little Company

This was an impulse decision. I got the tickets just 2 days ago at sistic counter. Din plan to watch this play as the picture itself doesn't looks appealing to me. Anyway since CQ will be out of town on biz trip and Jamie's school holiday started since Wednesday + good seatings (row 6 from stage), why not? Well, this is one of the best play I've ever enjoyed!! And Jamie too, she was sooo captivated by the entire setup, the props, the storyline (which I've to retell to her to ensure that she understood it entirely) and of course the actor and actresses! I would give full marks for the excellent show!

Meet The Teacher Session

Today has been a super duper busy day for me! Firstly, I got to meet the principal and Jeremy's form teacher for all the paper work to be done before he enters this school next year. Yes, he will be wif his Jie-Jie, finally!!! Times flies indeed. Then after settling this, I need to meet Jamie's form teacher and chinese teacher for assessment of her entire K1 course of study. Well, am I pleased ?? Praise the Lord!! She has done extremely well wif mostly excellent comments and less than 3, good comments. However, there's 1 thing which troubles me alot. That is, she sometimes does take her own sweet time in accomplishing work in class, especially during chinese lessons. Having said so, the chinese teacher commented that, though Jamie seems to be in "deep thoughts" , she can follow instructions and complete her work independently & accurately !! Haha, do you call this multi-tasking??? Hmm, I dunno if this is a compliment or what.

Christmas Celebration

These are the gifts I've prepared it at very last minute for Jamie to give to all her 32 classmates this morning. Nothing fantastic, just a notebook & mechanical pencil but what I hope to relay the message to these kids is that God sent His Son to die for us so that we will have eternal life. And for us to demonstrate this little acts of giving, may the Lord's blessing be upon each and every one of the children. Oh yes, I also prepared sandwiches for the class :)

Birthday Holiday???

Come 2nd Dec and Jeremy is turning 3!! I somehow dun hv enuff time to prep and plan. No idea what to do ley... but here's the preview of the bday cake that I might get for him to celebrate in his school.

IQ Game for 35Months ??

Jeremy came running to me with a face full of achievement ,said "mama I did this myself!!" I couldn't believe he actually can do it b4 turning 3!! After that, he said down quietly on my bed and did few more tries b4 gg to bed.

Deepavili Holiday

Kids did not take their afternoon nap today and I started wif lotsa programmes for them till both of them were too tired and they knocked out at 9pm sharp!! hahahaa.... and we went to the playground not once but twice! We played badminton, scooter, kicking the football and the kids were so happy whereas I was soooo worn out at the end of the day though I managed to catch my fav Amazing Race after the kids had gone to bed :D
