Maze

I have been training Jeremy with lots of maze activities during this Term 2 when he is away from school. Now he has improved alot as compared to earlier months when he couldn't even follow the paths well.

Where is God ?

Sunday Morning with Papa

Jamie has been complaining about her throat (itchy n painful) as well as being tired. I supposed it might be due to late nights bedtime esepcially this week. So I went to church with Jeremy while CQ and Jamie had some private time alone. Back home, I was presented with this card that he did... no wonder Jamie said she has a "good" time with papa!! I also was surprised that she did some homework that I've placed it casually on the table.

June School Holiday Craftworks

We did this within a day. And as expected, the leaves withered so fast so no point doing it weeks ago. Or else chances are, I will have to re-secure the leaves' corners with sticky tape again.

Zoo Visit with Eunice's Family

Thank God for the very good weather despite the heavy downpour early in the wee hours. The kids have lots of fun especially Jamie & Yutong. And all of them got a chance to ride on the horse too! This is one of the excursion that I like...cos free for Jamie (from GainIQ) and 50% off for the adults (thks to Eunice's hb!) while Jeremy who is below 3, free too!

Visit to Dentist @ Smiles

It's their yearly visit again. This time I'm so glad that Jamie sat through the checkup and had her teeth polished ! And Jeremy, brave too! (perhaps its this fun ride that he's looking fwd after the checkup?) The dentist said no need to clean or polish his teeth, checked, ok. And I've 15% off for being a Star member of Toysrus!

Happy Father's Day

Morning when to the market to get 2 stalks of flowers for papa and Dagu whose bday happened to fall on Father's Day this year. Also get Jamie to do up 2 separate cards as well.

JJpapa @ Work

Today Jeremy was coached by his papa for his usual "sch-wk", some doddling and reading.

Story Island Hand Puppet Theatre Camp

This shall be Jamie's last holiday camp this June holiday. This will run from today till Thurday, 930-130pm. A good timing since our helper is away for home leave. Hope she will learn something through this camp while I will be busy with Jeremy at home.

Holidaying @ Bintan Nirwana Gardens

This is our 3rd resorts trips since Jeremy's birth. Seems like for now, such short trips suit us best till probably another year or two when he is bigger than we may consider going further. Nirwana Gardens has better food choices vs Holiday Inn Batam. Beach is supreme for the price we are paying. However we are not so impressed with its room amenities. This time we took a late evening ferry back and by the time we reached home, its already almost 9pm! This is our ONE and ONLY family photo taken so far.

Ballet First Upcoming Performance

As usual, I stood outside the door, peeping at Jamie. Strange, there's another teacher apart from Ms Yap. And the kids were seemed to be doing some kind of performance. But I'm not so sure and was quite puzzled till we were told to meet at the office for an announcement. True enough, we were told that Jamie's class has been selected to be one of the performing groups come 4th & 5th July at Hwa Chong! What performance?? Haha, I've forgotten about it! Though it's not mandatory which some parents didn't gave the teacher their reply, I've told the teacher that Jamie will be participating as I think this will be a great opportunity for her. Thank God she's also eager and willing to try :D

Mind Your Business, Vemo!

This is Jamie and the 2 groups of kids acting as the octopus & turtle. The class of 20 kids were happily dancing and performing for their parents to mark the end of the speech & drama camp. Jamie was a little reserved when come to public performance but still she was bold and did some movement here and there. So cute!! Btw, she's one of the octopus.

Finally

After waiting for 4years after the announcement of en-bloc at our estate, we finally took our keys this morning. Cannot believe that we have actually waited for 10years to own a new flat! Well, at least our prediction has come true :)

Henry the Octopus

The children did a blown up balloon represent one of the character they acted during the camp.

More ...

I've never thought of trying out using oil pastel till this morning when she did the ladybird using oil pastel. And I also din realised that I have a box of oil pastel sitting in the study room!! So I took it out and let the children have some fun !

Kinderart Trial Lesson

Morning brought Jamie to her school for an hour of trial session. We were allowed to sit in throughout the lesson. After a brief explanation on how to draw and color the ladybud using oil pastel, the children quickly sat themselves down and started doodling. Here's what Jamie did. Well done with 3 different colors selected as instructed by the art teacher.

Magical Moments Holiday Camp (25-30May)

As we will be collecting keys for our new house tmr, meaning, I will not have time to organise any school holiday programmes for Jamie, I have arranged alternative for her. This week, Jamie will be attending a 5 days English Speech & Drama Camp hosts by Magical Moments at the nearby CC. Here's what she did for the past 2 days.

Victoria Theatre

Here's a glimpse of the stage before it commenced. And there's Jamie's ballet friend, Elizabeth. One thing I have learnt, we need to have good seating, preferably first few rows in order to enjoy the entire drama :)

Reluctant Dragon / Winds in the Willow

We will be catching 2 musical entertainments by Kenneth Grahame this coming Saturday! I'm very excited as this will be our 2nd time watching a play at a theatre! This time, Jamie's friend, Elisabeth and her mommy will be joining us :) ===============================================

"..The Reluctant Dragon is a story about friendship with people different from ourselves. Be ready for a stirring tale of friendship between a shepherd’s son and a gentle and poetic dragon, who is reluctant to fight and would love nothing better than to be accepted into society. While The Wind in the Willows is a cautionary tale about the dangers of materialism and what it means to be truly happy. These stories appeal to the young and the young at heart. Both stories deal with themes of multiculturalism, racial harmony, personal roots and a sense of home, and act as perfect educational lessons for the youth of today."

Arts Exhibitions

Here's the artwork done by parent-child but the look of it, I suspected its done mostly by adults :D
