We have a date with Crystal's mom and Daryll's mom to Polliwogs one fine day 8) We enjoy a lot although is not a big playground but is good enough for us to have a lot of fun.

Fun with Clay

This clay is very sticky and hard to handle but we have lots of fun with it.

Home Schooling

Mommy didn't update my blog for awhile, she is very busy...

She is doing some activities to fill up my time at home. As I am having a long holiday for 6 weeks.

1st day of holiday she prepared about 5 activities in a basket and ask me to do it when I have free time. Too bad I didn't do any of them as I can't find the basket =.="

2nd day, which is yesterday i completed most of them including some written worksheet. I told her I love to do them and hope to have more.

She rewarded me with stars to decorate my Xmas tree 8) Once the tree is filled with stars Santa will come and I will have a present under neath. How wonderful it is, I am totally excited about Xmas 8)

We had a show last Sunday after my clay class. My new idol - The Astro Boy! Rayen happily eating pop corn before the show and fallen asleep 10min when the show begin all the way to the end.

@ a Park

Ultra Ray - Lesson 10

Our 1.5mths old KangKong

Our "Bean Sprout" is more like a kangkong now... When you ask me did I water the vege, I will tell you my sis is helping me to do so. She will spray some into the plant and most on to her face.

Rayen's Book

Rayen's book is definitely more interesting for me at this moment. Mommy read a book and I read one too.

Tuckshop week update 3 - Learning a Lesson

I make magic, I brought S$1 to school and I bring back $1.1 with a cubic game. I have watermelon and orange too. I told mommy my friend give me money( she nearly fainted) and she told me I cannot borrow money from anyone and I can only get money from my parents or by hard work. She prepare 2 gold coins in my wallet and ask me to return it back to my friend today. I told her I did what she requested. (Good lesson learnt from both of us...)

**Mommy is grateful that my teacher call her to report on my behaviour in school, a mistake is done and we can't wipe it, but we need to face it and correct it. Finding the root cause is important but she feel that nagging to spend thing wisely is as important as not to take or borrow money to people. (Luckily is tuckshop week and not tuckshop month...*_*"

Tuckshop week update 2

Mommy's word...

Justen, mommy want to tell you that I am so proud and happy to have you as my son. I think Rayen is happy to be your sister too 8) You come back from school with 2 drawing tools. You bought 2 because 1 for mei mei which is red and 1 for yourself. Although our little girl spoil it within an hour but it really show that you have some thought for her. I am very "an wei" for that! But again the item you bought look interesting but not durable. So mommy need to nag again, please spend wisely and we keep the remaining in your "Tong Tong" for more interesting stuff ok?

BTW:this morning you told me that your friend spend all the single cent he brought to school, you sound a bit jealous but my dear son, you know you are at the right trek, and keep it up and don't feel sad.

Tuckshop Week Update - Give me but can't use it?

This week is our yearly tuckshop week 8) Monday mommy forgot to give me allowance to school, but she remember to do so on Tuesday, she told me use the money wisely. I bought a foam plane and left 30 cents in my wallet. She give me an additional 30 cents so that I have 60 cents to put in my piggy bank. She gave Rayen 1 dollar to put in her More More too. This morning she pass me another dollar and remind me to spend it wisely again. No toy or stationary, can buy food if I don't have enough. Bring back the remaining and save it. I called her at noon, I told her I bought a drawing material, I didn't buy toys and I keep some money back. Mommy praise me for my saving as for the thing I bought she didn't say much but ask me to show it to me when she is back.

Learning to spend wisely is really a "da xue wen" mommy is still learning too.

Swimming Update

5th lesson and I am able to push my head out to breath and swim without float for 4m, still need to learn on coordination but I think is a very good achievement. I am so proud of myself.

(Is really heart pain for both my parents to see me trying very hard to struggle in water, but no pain no gain at least now I can swim all by myself for a short distance. A clap from my sis too!)

Concert @ the Park - Story Telling in a Fish

There is a big fish @ Pasir Ris and I go into it tummy, what do I do inside? There is a story telling session. I enjoy very much but I am a little upset when mommy come to fetch me a bit late. See the foto on the left? Mommy took it outside the fish while I am inside there.

Kranji Farm Tour

We are lucky today as we are just in time to be stop by the red light, as a train full of Load is going to pass by. Due to the train I see a long long jam on both side of the road, don't think other driver will think that they are luckDo you see 2 little cute froggies? We are at the frog farm.

Don't know they are looking at us or we are looking at them. So many of them, some are really good jumper and some are going to a non returning trip.

Mommy initially plan to buy some polliwogs for me, but she see their size, she changed her idea just take a picture of them can liao. Meimei ask mommy to hand over her camera as usual. That answer why she can't take a good picture of meimei as she always very angry that she didn't get what she wants.

Both not very happy to take a pic, one 3 pic all bcc, one even look away trying to act blur.Everyone come here must take a picture.This goat force his head out to take a picture with me.We see so many plants and fruits in Long Zhu Guo Garden. Can you spot red long bean, lady fingers, Winter Melon, Grapes, Pineapple? Mommy even see Corn, chili and many more but I ask her to go back soon as there are too many ants coming our way.
Feeding Koi @ the vege farm. Their fish are really big and colorful.Do you see these drink in stall, not bad actually, is red long zhu gou drink, no fish, prawn also not bad... BTW they have white one too, but mommy love their red long zhu guo and she hate white de.

We have our lunch at Bollywood, this is their 3 in 1 Kueh, very yummy but please remember to bring cash as they don't accept net or visa, their dishes are cheap standard is around 5S$ with no additional charges. Anyway they are the only restaurant in Kranji farm so we have no other choice either 8). BTW their Indian Waiter are super efficient, they will come and clear your plate just after you take away the last pcs of food in your plate. They look contented with their job, thinking they might be part time waiter and full time farmer.
