Ready for school...This year she is wearing Tommy dress bought by daddy many many years ago!..I wanted to get her a princess dress...but cannot find that perfect dress..I didn't like korean style as sometimes it may look cheap..so might as well let her wear this plain but ex dress hehe.




This year's goodie bag..each pack about 80c from TB, and with sea delivery is $1.30...very worth while...heh



Koko also recovered just in time for her party...

Kaylen's Abacus Exam Result-Her 1st and 2nd 100%

So she got full marks for her 1st 2 exam in her life!

She can earn $20 from waipo..also her 1st earned $...since she has watch koko earning lots of $ from good results from exams..heh.

Yesterday when we just got back from JB, the silly gal and me had this conversation

Kaylen: Mummy did you bring back my abacus book?
Me: No, why?
Kaylen: Harr...still have a lot of pages haven't finish..
Me: its ok its late now, you can do it tomorrow
Kaylen: But tomorrow got lesson, I scared I cannot finish...How about we use calculator?

Then I burst into laughter...and told her that she probaly count faster than she press the calculator!

Jared never had this automatic when come to abacus..he is fine with just doing 30/40 sums out of the 400 sums..and submit to teacher..

So when he got the mental sums cert this year..its really quite a surprise..last year he didn't get it.

Now I told Kaylen to work hard, so that she can bring back the cert every year!

A surprise achievement from Jared

So proud of you boy...Keep up the good work!

Troubles troubles

Recently we had some major problems at home..

       1)      Grandma was done with major stroke and though survive through, but the recovery road is very tough..

       2)      Jared encounter some bullies in school

1^st session: Despite me worked so hard to get him into Elite school..this thing is still not preventable.

During his Maths trail with P5 & P6 kids, a friend told him that the P5 big boy scold him “walk faster lah, you idiot” He did not hear it, but his friend Joseph told him about it. So he came home to tell his dad. And daddy wrote an email to sch teacher to investigate. So the next school day, Jared and friend were call up to be investigated..and finally after investigation it was his friend Joseph made up the words.. OMG, can kids be so notti??

2^nd session: Jared’s friend Lucas kept threatning him to visit the Ghost farm in school. They have made up stories on how does the ghost look like and once Chuang lao shi heard them, has punished them to stand at one side. After that Jared do not dare to go there anymore. But the friend Lucas, still force him, tuggling his arms..and threatening him that he is gonna call his parents that he has annoyed him, so that I will scold him. After hearing that I’m not going to scold him, he got a big relieve and started crying…I thanked and gave him a big hug for telling things like this in school.

We have wrote to Chuang lao shi about it.

Kaylen's 1st ever Exam-Mental arithmetic Grade 7&8

At K1 4yr 10mth, she had her first ever exam at Sengkang CC for her mental arithmetic Grade 7&8 . Jared had his 1st exam in K2 doing Grade 9. Hmmm..that's how advance Kaylen is without costing a sweat on us..no nagging, no teaching...heh

She was quite confident about it..and let's see how she did..

Skating..new stunt after Lesson 4

After much delibration, we had finally signed up with Edward of iske8d the package course...at $610..for 18 lessons min since Jared is so much into skating..



Jared with his daddy after the expedition from Blk 114 to Blk 115...its a simple route but for skaters...it has its high and low..Jared fell after a short down slope distance to the next upslope crossing a road..so after that, when daddy going through it, I standby behind to help him go up..hehe.

As for me, I’m still stuck at trying to balance..doing worst than the week before, maybe because we changed place to practise.

Prior to this Jared just had a bad day at swim lesson…these few weeks he has been crying during swimming..last week was refused to jump, this week was cannot swim mid way without board with 1 breath..so coach got him to repeat and repeat again…

To a lot of ppl being able to swim is so relaxing..to him, it was sooo difficult to even follow any instructions.

But this skating which was so so hard for any ppl..but so easy for him. Very puzzle.
