Christmas Party @ School

Jamie woke up early this morning and happily dressed up in green top (as requested by her teacher, either red or green or combination of both) to attend her 1st school's Christmas party! I was there watching the children singing and the K2 kids performing on stage for the one last time b4 the principal bid them off with prayers for the group. The children were ushered into their respective classrooms for the makan & exchange gift session. I'm beginning to miss all these when she moves on to another school next year :(

Christmas Presents

Did this for Jamie this time. As Christmas is just around the corner, its also a time of sharing and giving to demonstrate God's love. So I have generously bought 24 pencil cases with a magic eraser, colored pen, chocolate biscuits & a personalised card for all her classmates. Hope this will indeed be a season of unselfish giving for God gave us His Son to us while we are yet sinners. Thank you for Your unfailing love!

How Tall Will You Be?

Ever wondering how tall your child will be when he/she reaches their adulthood? Here's an interesting estimated adult's height calculator. Surprisingly Jeremy will probably be at 1.70m while Jamie will be around my height at 1.63m though Jeremy is slightly shorter than Jamie in his statistics taken so far.

Excuse Me ....

See how precious his cars ???

Stomach Flu

Yes I got since yesterday but thank God it has been mild with occasions diarrhoea and fever. Totally different experience when I had it the previous round. One thing for sure, I'm taking E.Excel supplements which has helped me to recover much faster apart from the anti vomit & paracetamol tablets.

Draw With Me

Bought this some time ago and Jamie will have her hands on it once every one two days. Now she's quite good using ruler and her observation skills has increase tremendously after all the training that she has gone through so far.

23rd Months Old

Jeremy has grown alot more these days. His neck is slowly "emerging" and soon he will pass his babyhood (below 2) and into what we normally called, preschooler. Now he is capable of doing alot more things than we can imagine. He has always been our lil baby since day 1.... one can see him running after his jie jie, imitating Jamie as much as he could. Screaming, jumping, climbing up the sofa and chairs, leaning over the window to see the passing vehicles etc. One thing I'm sure both of them have in common, that is, he loves to hold something and its usually his fav cars , lol!!!!!

Mind Champion

Jamie has completed Mighty Mights and today we started working on the advanced level, Super Mind for age 5-9. After rounds of guidance & doing the exercises together, Jamie now can do it independently with ease.

Chinese Name

Have been quite a while Jamie started learning to write her surname. Today I taught her how to write her middle name. Don't want to rush into it as I wanna make sure she knows & remembers the strokes.

Why Need for Creative and Critical Thinking NOW?

Received flyers from Jamie's school this afternoon. Interestingly, its about a unique learning programme known as John Langrehr Thinking Program (JLTP) originated from Australia. This programme has been running for the pass 1year at the school and due to great response and positive feedback , the school will be continuing it for K1 class next year. I was very curious about this programme and did a quick research from the net. The fee is reasonably affordable at $53pm. The only thing is, it will be on every Wednesdays from 130-230pm which will be carry out during school hours. I will need to check it out with her principal regarding the timing before any decision is made.

Visit to Grandparents' House

Jamie is off from today till Friday as her school will be having rehearsals and K2 graduation ceremony on Friday. So today, I decided to bring them to my parents' house since its such a rare opportunity for us to go back on weekdays!! Found this cute craftwrok done by Jamie's cousin, Cheshire. I love the goldfish ! Hmm, that's give me an idea to do this with her at home !!! :D

I Finally Bought IT !!!

Have been resisting it since last year. But still it has been lingering it somewhere in my mind till I saw someone looking for a wooden cake cutting toy from a local forum. Gee, this set is great for both kids but can be chaotic if I don't oversee them playing :(

New Brain Teaser - Mighty Minds

Wanted to get this set quite some time back but didn't seem to have the "motivation" to get it till now. Should have bought it earlier. Anyway, this is a very good set to train preschoolers the concept of shapes and early problem solving skills etc.

Messy Doodle

I thought Jeremy is too short to draw on the easel board. Hey, its not too bad though. But today he has just found a new way of vandalising with the marker's ink on the frame instead of the whiteboard :(

Arrrggghhhh!!!!!!!

This boy ah sometimes can really be a BIG headache for me. He is just like his papa, too active, restless & mischievious and I have to think of creative ways to stimulate him to learn for that few minutes. Here, I'm trying to teach him to thread though he did a similar one before. But this set is sure a challenge for him. Think I have to dig out the other buttons set which I think should be much easier to accomplish for his tender age.

Present for Jeremy

Come early December Jeremy will turn 2. He is now really a big boy although I always feel that he is a baby to us. Here is what I thought of getting for him since he is head over heels with all sorts of transportation especially cars.

No More Wisdom???

These 2 wisdom teeth were once happily sharing & enjoying the taste of thousands of sumptuous meals that I had till I decided its time for them to bid goodbye 2days ago. I'm still in the mist of recovering. No worries, can talk, can laugh and only slight pain around my jaw but bearable. Thank God that i can eat as usual except certain food to avoid.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Ask me about the ordeal? Hmm, not as scary though I was quite terrified by the drilling & pressure that I heard & felt. Also not forgetting the 3 injections at the bottom as well as one on top (not that painful but the thought of something poking into your mouth set my heart pumping really fast ley!!!!!). The aftermath is much much better than the whole process except constant clearing blood out of my mouth for about 3-4 hours & deduction of a total of $647 (inclusive of bottom wisdom tooth surgery, extraction of top wisdom tooth, xray & admin fee for deduction from cpf a/c) off CQ's medisave. Oh yes, also my swollen face which is suppose to subside within a couple of days. Heng I don't have any bruise marks on my face as I was already being told.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Please, serious really no pain but just eeeeee-yucks lor, fully awake some more. Luckily I shut my eyes completed tight & consciously keeping my mouth wide :D .. And I have to go through this again for my other side bottom & top wisdom teeth some time when I'm ready. Which dental clinic ? Q&M Dental Surgery ......

Was browsing through the children's artwork when they were having excursion at Sentosa Underwater World ... then I saw Jamie's work. Hmm, not bad and its quite neat.

Call Me Vain

Isn't it pretty ? This is a 12cm length handmade ladybug that I have bought lately with a few more nice one to replace some of the old clips. Girls are girls.....

Now You See.... Now You Don't

This boy has his own ways of covering up his eyes. Guess what he saw? Hmm, its the ppt flash cards and he was looking at .... insects category.
