School Concert

I am back! After a LOOOOOOOOONG blog break. Well, I just lost the momentum of blogging but thankfully, I am still taking pictures and continue my paper scrapbooking. So, there is still some level of updating the kids growth milestone (although way way behind)

Ern had her school annual concert on 5th Dec 2010. In this picture, it was her last performance, which also the highlight of the entire concern - fashion show. Kids were dress up to their best, in modern and traditional costume. I tell you, I simply just love it! Sorry can't post the group children picture in view of confidentiality and respect of other kids.


Well, my little girl made the whole audience burst into laughter during her 'Panton" with 2 other of her friends. Just right after her turn, she whispered to her friend by saying "XX, it's your turn"!! Everyone can hear it so well because she was speaking in front of a microphone! Once the other 2 finished, she said again " XX, YY, bow and say thank you!" I tell you, it was so funny to see how my girl instruct her friends.

Ern surprised me to be one of the top 3 students in her class because I didn't expect that at all! During the Parent-Teacher Evaluation session, I have had comments on Ern to further improve on her school work and other areas. It wasn't that bad but I didn't expect she still get into top 3 places. This certainly made her proud and be more confident!

Let's Talk About L-O-V-E

When we (adults) are all tired, drained out, stress out or whatever "outs" that we have had, they will be gone when your kiddo tell you:

- Mum, you are the best!

- Daddy, enjoy your dinner

- Mum, thank you for taking me to XX (the places that we took them outing)

- Daddy, I love you.

Parenting never easy but it always paid off when we see our kids reminded us to think simple and happy! Well, that's the parenting package that I signed up! :-)

LIfe Is Beautiful...

At least that's something I learnt from my kids everyday -> think & live simple!

Surprise Party

It was really really a surprise for Daddy because he really believe I threw the party for my own daddy (I told him the surprise party was for my dad!) When he walked into the restaurant, he was so surprise to see his friends! Happy daddy for sure!

I had the party planned few weeks back by coordinating with his friends and my friends. More like gathering for all of us. Tried out several restaurants before deciding the place (food + drinking session). Kids were thrilled whenever it comes to party although it wasn't a kids party! No pre-planned games but I managed to come out with 1 game. The intend was to make them stay within the restaurant so that we don't really need to supervise them so closely.

I appointed 'guard" (one of the girls) to watch over the kids while the rest of the kids were 'reminding' each other than they were not suppose to cross beyond the line and stepped out of the restaurant. This methods works because the adults get to chill out quite a bit while the kids play the games!!!

In the end, I 'rewarded" them with desserts for being good kids and that was their 'surprise present'...cheapo, I know! But at least that make them stay 'kuai kuai' (good kid) for a while! hahahaha....

When We Asked Her to Pose...

This is what she will do. So fake, I tell you. :-) I think she picked this up from recent school concert's cat walk in preparation for the fashion show ! :-)

PS: She likes this dress (Grandpa bought for her) very much because it comes with beads, which make her think she is a 'grown up Che Che".
