Special Award ??

Jamie handed this "Award" to me at school entrance after school yesterday. Amazingly, she wrote why she gave this special award to me..."for buying me toys" Btw, I do not frequently buy toys for the children. Only occasions reward stickers or small little gift that cost few bucks to light up their day. Anyway, its nice of her to do up this card for me though.

Mother's Day Cards

Was impressed that these 2 Labor Day homeworks were done shortly on Sunday night b4 we did a final touchup today! Don't they look similar? Aiyah no time for more creativity lor!

Using Chopsticks

Bought a new set of Thomas Train chopsticks for Jeremy in order to stimulate his right brain. And both kids enjoyed using it so much that Jamie can even eat her meals using chopsticks through out!

Goodbye Mrs Melissa!

Today is Jamie's form teacher last day teaching her class. This teacher has been teaching her since K1 and she knows Jamie pretty well inside out and its a pity that she has to leave as her husband will be outstation to Australia to work for 4 years. Hence she and her 2 children will be following him. Anyway, it took me less than few mins to complete this scrapbook card & quickly asked Jamie to write and draw something which Mrs Melissa can remember her. As usual, she drew her fav star, basket, pineapple & Mr Bean soft toy, hahahhaaa..

Term 2 Meet the Teachers Session

Met Jamie's teachers after sending Jeremy to school. Generally she is progressing well and was told that she will be ready for P1 next year. However few things which I am praying that she will overcome it soon. #1 complete work faster #2 improve her handwriting #2 speak up more in Chinese lessons.

First Excursion

This is Jeremy's first excursion at JCK! And coincidently its the entire school Nursery all the way up to K2 kids school wide excursion !! It's from 830am - 230pm. Yipppee!! I will have a long 6 hours of break to run errands !

Welcome to God's Family, Jamie!

Did this especially for our dearest daughter who took a step of faith to trust in God. Enjoy the slideshow preview for part of a mini scrapbook kit that I've done for Jamie.

Oh My!!!

This is soooooooooo sweet! I found this in one of my folders, hidden among those that I've never bother to see what's inside. This was taken 1.5years ago. Now, I am REALLY missing Jamie's straight long hair :(

Is Life Tougher ??

Life has never been too tough for me even though I am without a helper for 3 months. Thank God for giving me enormous strength to pull through life's difficulties and trials. But life has never been traded off for those precious time I've wif our 2 wonderful children who are indeed a blessing from God. Seeing them growing each day, warm my heart, knowing it have been a priviledge to witness (and will be) wif them their every small little milestones that they have gone through and will be going through. What's more do I hope for except for God's mercy & grace to continue to flow throught this family all in all. Amen!

Nice Shots

These are CQ's recent works wif his khakis which I love it most!

Mini Celebration for Jamie

I did a certificate for Jamie and bought 4 mini muffins for tonight after dinner as to celebrate Jamie accepted Christ on Easter sunday. Nothing fantastic but just to make her feel important to be part of God's family ya.

Easter Sunday

Cannot Believe that Jamie is growing FAST!

Being a SAHM to my children sometimes can be a physical, challenging and emotional strains but it also means that witnessing them growing and crossing their milestones each day a joy to me !! Just today, I've noticed a small little white tooth emerging out from behind one of her canine tooth ! I am now beginning to learn to let her "go" and have her own decisions made whenever its appropriate/necessary.

Check it out here!!

Easter Week

Here's the usual red egg in a "basket" the kids brought home today. Wonder if Jeremy really knows the true meaning of Easter ? Hope Jamie will recover fast so that all of us can attend Easter Sunday.

Spot the Different

Jamie did such similar books before though the pictures were much complicated which I reckon Jeremy can accomplish it at this age so I bought this instead. He definitely needs some prompting for now but its surely a good headstart for a 3y 4mths old boy !

Tang Poem

While I was browsing through some books at Popular, I've found this "treasure" book by chance which I find it very useful though its kind of late to introduce Tang poems to Jamie but better than never right?? It comes wif an audio cd wif some activities to complete after reading the entire poems. So this will be part of our homeschool program for the next few months.

DIY Materials Again

I've started sourcing and making flash cards for linking memory exercises that I am going to use it for the children. Very tiring but I think its very worth it. Also getting some cheapo puzzles to drill Jeremy as I realised that while working wif puzzles, it helps to stimulate the child's right brain. So, I've bought 3 sets for Jamie too since she wants to play. Will get the pictures printed out so that they can reference while solving the puzzles.

Off Blogging

It's been a bee-zy week last week + I was down wif very bad UTI + Jeremy suddenly developed mild stomach flu on Sat. And it was also my birthday on 1st April!! Nothing fanciful but am not asking for any present from CQ since there's really nothing much that I am lacking. Anyway, we had a simple dinner outside w the kids and decorated a mini cake to bring home after that. Sounded boring??

Mirror Cube Puzzles

I simply love this IQ game that I've managed to get it from a fren through a Msia supplier ! It's so challenging yet requires a child to think and solve the puzzle at a different level. This was found to be very useful to train Jeremy's observation and problems solving skills. To Jamie, it's just a piece of cake !

More Flash Cards ...

Got these stacks of Chinese flash cards from Lisa lately. It's meant for K2 kids in preparation for P1. After browsing through the words, I think its relatively easy and Jamie can read about 90% of these cards by now. Hmm, wondering how's the standard for higher children kids at P1 level and is Jamie being trained too far beyond P1 ??
