In Uniforms


This is the first time 弟弟 wears school uniform. We also take his photo at home in order to print for school use. It's easier than going to a studio based on experience with 姐姐for her photo shoot at 3-years-old.


The shorts is too big for 弟弟even at size S. So we had to manually sew up the waist band for him. In this difficult times, it's not practical to get smaller size ones as it is very expensive (RM35 per set). Even 姐姐 will hv to wear hers until finish PS3 :P As we have both children in the same nursery, the principal give a discount for 弟弟. Not much, but it helps!

Celebration of Learning

Today is 姐姐's school mini concert day. She has been reminding us about it as the weekend nears. She says 'Saturday九点半要到学校了! 我要爸爸,妈妈还有弟弟来看我跳舞'. She even showed me the actions she does for the dances yesterday. In the past she would not reveal anything until we see it in the concerts. I think she starts to understand we'd like to hear more details :)
The teachers call it 'Celebration of Learning'. The children will show parents what they have learnt and the learning methods via singing, dancing, recitals, skits etc. 弟弟 waiting for 姐姐's singing to start....

姐姐's class sang 'My friends' and recited Merry Monkey rhyme. Merry Monkey teaches children phonics M. Then the children read aloud in Mandarin from their school book. So cute! I'm glad her school teaching method is interactive and lively.




Then all the children sang Negaraku and the school theme songs.

After that is feasting session! Teachers prepared assorted kuih and snacks for all the children and parents. Both of them enjoyed kuih lapis and pink jelly very much!

弟弟去上学了!

This week 弟弟 starts to go to school with 姐姐. Our initial plan was totally derailed. It is quite a relief that 姐姐's school principal is OK to take him. He'd start full-day on Monday this week, and teacher will monitor how is he progressing. It's good that it's school holiday week, and he will not get too overwhelmed by classes and cope with new enviroment at the same time. Anyway we chose this school for 姐姐 because it is not so stressful and mundane type. They teach children using songs, dances and even multimedia which is quite fun. Throughout the weekend, we tell 姐姐, 你帮我们照顾弟弟,好吗?She say, 好.

On the first morning, both hubby and I send the children to school. He was pretty excited at seeing the playground and slides, and wanted to play. I carried him inside to look around, and 姐姐 already went to her class. I tried to let him see 姐姐 in class. He wanted to go to an empty class room, and looked around. He cried when teacher carried him, and he spent the first day sitting with 姐姐's class. After all it's school holidays and the children are not fully studying.

The little boy has to be there full-day until we pick him up after work. When I peered into the class, I saw him sitting in a circle with the smaller children. As soon as he saw me, he burst into tears... 姐姐 helped to get his school bag and water tumbler, and her own stuff. While on the way home, she keep telling me, 我有照顾弟弟! 我有拿水罐给他,叫他喝水!我有帮他盖被单~

After dinner when we asked 弟弟,明天可以去学校吗?He said, 可以. We ask, 可以不要哭吗? He said, 不可以,我要哭!Then he laughed. **pengsan**

Second day he still cry when see me when I pick them up. As the week goes by, sometimes he will tell us, 我无哭了!Or sometimes he will still say, 我有哭! Both he and 姐姐 became very good friends this week. 姐姐 help to make sure his comfort blanket is brought back home everyday.




Next week, classes will start. Hope he will be able to cope...

Birthday

My family got me a cookies-and-cream ice-cream cake for my birthday this year. Actually I hint and hint to my children I like cookies-and-cream but since no one had any reaction when I do that, thought no celebration since economy is not good. Surprise!





Here are the children looking funny - they purposely stuff their mouths with the cake. And honestly, 弟弟 did smile for the photo, but the camera was too slow in response to capture it, and he didn't collaborate with us for another one.

Close friends also celebrated with me, forgot to take more photos...only hv one photo of a cake which I need to get out of the cellphone. I wish everyone good health and happiness, and pick up some wealth along the year! Haha...stability is good enough - hoh?

姐姐's drawings

姐姐 likes to draw and here are some of her drawings. On the left is a house. On the right is a church :) She says 公公 teach her church is a house with 't' at the top. Doesn't this look like her drawing using computer?


This is an ice-cream and a flower. See the word 'Flower' is jumbled up.. well she is still only starting.

She can write chinese characters too. These are written by herself, and she didn't refer to any books. I'm so proud of her!

Cartoon Family

This is a cartoon potrait done by 爸爸 last year. He uses a software which converts our photos into these cartoons. The software will take 'points' from our photo - eyes, nose, mouth and face shape. That's why they look lifelike. Cool....

Playtime with toy vehicles


姐姐 and 弟弟 love to play with their 'cars'. Actually 弟弟's is a duckie. But he will pretend repair and wash his duckie car anyway. He will turn the duck over and tingle with the parts, pretend to use screwdriver like 爸爸. Both children also will go to imaginary petrol station to fill up the gas tank. They can get pretty rough scooting around. I've had my feet run over a few times, screamed at them but they are still so 粗鲁. I pity my neighbours living downstairs, must be very irritating to hear the cars moving around.
