Artwork N1

Yesterday he brought one of his artwork masterpieces from school and here's the look of it

End of N1 Journey

Last Friday, we had parents teachers meeting to see how Ted's journey during Nursery 1.
His teacher was pleased to say that there were much improvements for Ted comparing the first and the final term.
In the beginning, he was very quite and showing sour face in the class but towards the end of the year, he started to open up, speak up his mind and has courage to express himself.

A lot of teachers praise him too even from other classes, he's not only favourite among the teachers but also favourite among koko Tromson's girl friends.
They love Ted and anticipating him to come to their class 15 minutes before dismissal.

I can't help to thanks God for this precious gift and how he has spread the smile and God's love to their friends and teachers.

Last but not least, this is the artwork piece of him that goes for fund raising which in the end I bought it myself :P

Mooncake

This is his first time making mooncake in school and he brought back 2 snow skins mooncake with red been filling.

September School Holiday - Sandsational Sentosa

Last Sunday was the last school holiday and since this week the weather has been crazy, I couldn't promise and stick to outdoor activity with the kids so I told the brothers if the weather was nice, we will go to Sentosa to see Marvel Sandsational but if it's raining we will abort the plan and go indoor.

Thanks God, eventhough in the first half day, the weather was not so friendly, it turned out cooling and cloudy in the afternoon so after the kids woke up from their afternoon nap, I brought them to Sentosa.

The good news was it's FREE ENTRY, and the bad news was because it's free entry, everyone also going there and the carpark at beach station was full.
So I tried my luck to go to Imbiah carpark and hoping there's available slots. And tada... I found few slots and we parked there, I was happy at first without knowing that the location of the event was near at Shangrila Rasa Sentosa.

I walked with three minions from Imbiah to the other end of Sentosa. Luckily there were many things to see along the journey so they didn't complain except Ted who asked me to carry him after we almost reaching there.

We went in there, it's not so crowded and we took some pictures with our favourite marvel characters and Ted chose Dr. Strange and he even impersonate him.
I knew the kids will complain if we headed back to carpark after walking almost 30 minutes and spending only 15 minutes there, so I prepared the armour, buying them a bag of popcorn and once cold drink shared among three. It's damn expensive, they were jacking up the price like there's no tomorrow.

After fully recharge, we walk back another 30 minutes to carpark.

Then, we went to Vivocity to have dinner and see tsum tsum lantern.
After dinner at kolomee, we went up to skypark and it's a lot of people. They were queueing for the tunnels and photo points.
Luckily our kids all are boys and were not so excited about tsum tsum so we just walked around and went back home after the trio complaint very tired especially the legs haha...

A Pet Fish Story

Almost 3 weeks ago, Tromson and Ted had field trip to fish farms, both went to different fish farm and end of the field trip, each of them carried a fish tank with full of small fishes. They were excited but not for me. I was reluctant to bring those fishes home because they surely die by the next few days since I was not a pet nanny type.

But seeing how excited and happy they were without knowing that the fishes may die the next day, I brought two fish tanks full of fishes home. Total was 18 small fishes.

I didn't have a heart to see the fish die or flush them into toilet bowl, so I played along buying the cheapest fish food in the pet shops to make the kids happy.
In my mind, I told myself, I already done my best to take care the fishes with a little knowledge that I had, at least if they die, they will die naturally, peacefully and with dignity and I didn't feel guilty.

As expected, the next days, the fish died one after another and fortunately the kids were not too emotional when they saw the dead fishes. Every day I was like having another "baby", feeding and cleaning the tanks and the sh*t.

Until 10 days later, Richie exclaimed mama, I saw baby fishes in one of fish tank, I was like, are you sure ? may be it's poop. For me, it's like a miracle if the fish can breed new life in those condition. But he said, yes it's baby fishes and when I went to have a look, it's really baby fishes and they were a lot. But most or all of them were like dying baby fishes, so I cleaned up the fish tanks and thrown away all dead fishes.

And as days went by, one by one died and left with three survivors who survived until yesterday.
Tromson came to me and told me that one fish has died, ok so I told myself, one tank gone,I only need to take care one fish tank but he continued, but I saw baby fishes. I was like WHATTT ?? AGAIN ??

Quickly I came to have a look and yes, one adult fish died and many baby fishes were surround it, it's like dying so I told them I will clean up the tank and left with two fishes in other tank, then Richie told me, mama you need to save the baby fishes who were still alive, I didn't notice at first but when Richie asked me to wait patiently that few of them were moving, they really was.

I had a hard time to separate the survivor babies and the dead one because they were so tiny, anyway I managed to save 4 baby fishes. So one adult died, 4 new life emerged.

I was like, God, You must be joking with me, within 3 weeks, I saw fishes breed new life not once but twice.

Happy Teacher's Day 2018

On Thursday, Ted will celebrate Teacher's Day for the first time. He may not understand well what is teacher's day all about.
Anyway, on last minute preparation, I had an idea to give something edible instead of just stationery or gifts.
So I came up with the idea of tea since ladies are usually fond with the teas.

I bought different flavour of tea, the plastic packaging and mini card.
Hopefully his teachers love it

Happy Teacher's Day !
Thank you for teaching and nurturing Thaddeo in his Nursery One journey

First Field Trip - Fish Farm

This is Ted's first school field trip and mama was asked to accompany him during this field trip.
We arrived in school just in time around 8.30am and the bus leaving the school at 9am to Qian Hu Fish Farm.

Unfortunately the weather is not so friendly, it's rain very heavy so the kids only can walk around indoor and they have this experience of fishing in the big containers instead of longkang.
However, the kids appear happy and smiling.

Ted is also happy and enjoy the field trip. He fished few fishes and released back to the containers.

At home, he brought back some small fishes in the tank.

Parents Teachers Meeting Sem 1

This is the first time parents teachers meeting for Ted.
The teacher gave positive feedback and mommy was so happy.
She said in the first term, he's very quiet and sour face but after term 2, he started to open up and spoke more words.
She said that he may be adjusting for first term, observing the surrounding until he felt comfortable.

He can recognize numbers and alphabets very well and he's one of the first in the class who answers the questions from the teacher.

Ted is one of favourite boys in the school. Every teacher loves him and says that he's very cute.

Well done Ted, keep it up !
