Yes, I got fever during halloween, so can't go school 8( and no surprise for me too 8( No more nite safari, No more trick or threating which I plan to bring to school 8(

Halloween Craze

I am looking forwards to Halloween, my parents wander where I know this from, I ask mommy trick or treating and she don't understand what I want, I told her about goose, that make her more confuses.

Daddy explain to her that is all about halloween, and goose is actualy ghosts. I learnt those from Little Einstein... Now any show related to it I will sit quietly to watch. Luckily those are all @ Disney Channel so is not so scary after all.

They are planning something on the actual day see more on 31st Oct 8)

Morning walk @ Punggol Park

We took a walk @ Punggol Park after our bf, I had lot of fun @ the play ground then we continue walking along the path near the pond. Today I saw a few birds, they were Wood Pecker, Eagle and Grey Heron.

Mommy told me Wood Pecker is doctor of the tree it help to cure the sickness of the tree by eating the worms in it, I saw 2 of them and they're busy flying from 1 tree to another.

Then we saw a bird flying in a circular motion, Daddy say that is a eagle (mommy say is a segul, daddy ask me not to listen to her).

Just when we about to leave the place we saw a big bird, when Daddy ask me what is that, I say "JI" without much hesitate -.-" Actually both my parents also don't know what is it, then they realise that the bird is called Grey Heron from the notice board.

I learnt that different kinds of birds eat different kinds of food, some eat worms, some eat rats and some eat fishes.

What a fruitful trip 8)

Dinner @ the Fountain

We are here again, as we love their wafer and Crepe.

Seven Points of the Montessori System

1. Each child works at his own pace. Hence the quick child is not held back by the slow; nor is the latter, in trying to keep up with the former, obliged to flounder along helplessly out of his depth. Each stone in the mental edifice is well laid before the next is added.
2. Since the child works from his own free choice, without competition or coercion, he is freed from danger of over strain, feelings of inferiority, or other experiences which are apt to be the unconscious cause of profound mental disturbances in later life.
3. It has proved itself of universal application. Within a single generation, it has been tried with complete success with children of almost every civilized nation. Race, color, climate, nationality, social rank, type of civilization--all these make no difference to its successful application.
4. The Montessori method develops the whole personality of the child, not merely his intellectual function, but also his powers of deliberation, initiative, and independent choice, with their emotional compliments. By living as a free member of a real social community, the child is trained in those fundamental social qualities which form the basis of good citizenship.
5. The Montessori system encourages self-discipline, self-knowledge, and independence, as well as enthusiasm for learning, an organized approach to problem-solving, and academic skills.
6. Most children appear to adjust readily to new situations when they go from Montessori to traditional classroom environments. In all likelihood this is because they have developed self-discipline and independence in the Montessori environment.
7. In a Montessori class, a child is not pushed to intellectual accomplishment. He is given the keys to exploration through sensorial material, which is an aid to classifying and organizing the impressions his mind already holds. Intellectual exploration forms the backbone and structure of all the creative work in a Montessori classroom. Voluntary repetition of an exercise by a child without suggestion or command is a phenomena common in Montessori classrooms throughout the world. To repeat is to acquire understanding, to demonstrate concentration, to work toward perfection.

So she is Elyn

My mommy keep calling Ms Lily, and she just notice that her name is Ms Elyn... What a nice name and a nice teacher.

A Morning @ Pasir Ris Park

妈妈的回忆录 - Kindergarten

Mommy studied @ a PAP Kindergarten when she was a young girl... During the period of time she always felt unbalance why the students in the other room always having art lesson another batch of students always having outdoor games. After all these years of thinking she finally realise that there should be more then 3 classes in her school. Now she is wandering how many classes did the school have.

No Cry finally!

I am so scare of going to Act 3 recently, and everytime I will tell my parents I don't want to attend Ms Juriah Classes. Mommy and Daddy were sad but they ask me to help Ms Juriah to console those crying babies like me too, but I still scare leh. Today Ms Lily saw me she know that I am unhappy, she comfort me and actually I am willing to join her without my parents but she is teacher of 4 to 5yrs old class so I can't join her, I am so sad. After awhile she come back with a balloon and she ask mommy to look after the balloon and I can come back with it after the class, she also assuring me Ms Juriah class will going to be fun, and she told me they are friends too, then came a little girl and she told mommy I am her friend. Mommy was please to know that I make friend in the class already. So I go bravely with Ms Juriah and the little girl to the room without crying. I come out happily 1hr later and Ms Juriah told me I am doing great this time. See I am brave boy now.

Children's Day

This post is a bit out dated, as mommy only get to upload those foto today...

Having Fun in the playground @ Bishan after breakfast.

The facilities are challenging for all of us.
This is the most scary slide I ever tired, all of us climb up and refuse to slide down when we are up there, as the slide is so narrow but after some help from mommy I am brave enough to do it all alone, is so exciting. I have great achievement to conquer it.Our Children's Day present from Gu Ma, is my 1st gun, daddy say the Japanese recorded sound is cool, it say " NO BULLET TOR". It can convert into 2 actually.

As you grow smaller I will grow bigger...

Today I have a converstaion with nanny and uncle papa. I told them when they become old and can't go to work, I will make money and buy nanny Roti Prata, hey that's my favourite dish hor, and I will buy uncle papa "卤鸭饭" too. While on the way home, my mom ask me what I am going to buy for her, I told her I will buy roti prata for her too but I have no money now so she got to pay for herself. Wait when Rayen and me grow bigger and bigger and she and daddy grow smaller and smaller I will pay for her.

Choose an English book...

Mommy bought a few chinese books for me today, as I have a love on Giant recently, one of them I choose is "Jack and the Beanstalk". I love the book so much that I ask her to read it before my bedtime, she read twice for me and I requested her to read 1 more book for me. This time she ask me to choose a book written in English and I chosen "Good Nite Gorilla". (Those who read it before will know why my dad laugh when I took out the book to show mommy.)

Bento Update

Mommy say:-

Just when he start to love food, he start to request for what he wants too... He told me " Mommy I don't want the pooh bear bread, I want the rectangle one..." So all my investment all down into the drain. Guess what he can finish a bread without trimming the edge in mintue. So I should be happy as I don't need to wake up early to prepare shaped food for him since he is happy with his rectangle shaped bread with nutella, his new found favourite 8)

Hungry Hungry I am Hungry!!!

Just 1 wk after my recovery, I keep feeling hungry... Asking for food every hour. My parents are still adapting to the changes. They don't use to me asking for food so often, but they are happy with the changes 8) See My foto taken in Aston, I ordered a fish meal with 2 side dish and I still karpo daddy's fries. Btw we are happy with the dinner which are cheap and delicious, they are famous for their steak but we feel that their fish with herbs and charcoal grill chicken is fantastic.

Act3 Solo

I miss 2 lessons this term, so today is my 1st lesson, mommy say that I am a big boy so got to attend the lesson alone, I told her I will be brave before entering the classroom. I regretted immediately after I am inside the room, as most of my classmates start crying so I told mommy I am not brave and hope that she can stay with me. She rejected my request and told me she will be waiting for me just outside the door, hope that I can listen and stay with my new teacher Miss Julian.

Julian told Mommy that I am overall a good boy, I start crying for a little just before the lesson start and then join in the singing and dancing after that.

A little conversation after my lesson :
Mommy :- Justen how you feel about the lesson with Miss Julian?
Justen :- Mommy I am happy and sad...
Mommy :- Oh you got mix feeling? Why are you sad?
Justen :- Miss Lily is not in the class.
Mommy :- Miss Lily is with a younger batch of students and Justen is older now so you got to move on to join an older group of friends.
Justen :- Yes Justen growing bigger and bigger 8) Mommy Justen is hungry! (Pass him his bento that I prepare for him in case he ask for food after the class and he finish everything within a short while)

Another Conversation

We are in a lift going down from LRT station.

Mommy : Justen thanks for your help for pressing the down button for mommy.

Justen : Mommy no, I am helping everyobody in the lift.

Mommy : Ok, that's very kind of you thank you...

Justen : Why not everybody thanks for my help?

Mommy : Mommy is helping everyone to thank you.

Angry with Mommy

Mommy say :-

He didn't smile to me as usual when we fetch him. He didn't want to eat waffle that I offer, he don't look happy when we brought him to the playground... He is okie to play with other people but refuse to even look at me when I call him. He didn't want to join me to get something from our coffee shop in the evening. He totally angry with me but what have I done wrong? 8(

So I request him to go downstair just 2 of us, then I ask him is he angry with me due to the bad hair cut... He told me he want to have Daddy's hair style, he is not happy with his new look. I comforted him and assure that will bring him for a hair cut immediately. Miss his smile you know. He give me a happy look after my confirmation, I let him choose the salon that he want to go he choose the salon and refuse to walk into the barber shop. He even choose the hair stylist that he prefer. After the pretty Jie Jie trim his hair he finally smile so sweetly to me and tell me he is more handsome than daddy.

Aiyo we never know the appearance to a 3yr old boy is so important leh... Think my boy really growth up liao.

Stomach Flu

It started on 15th Sept after I am back from Genting... 1st is LS and many times of LSs but I am still energentic. On 19th Sept Mommy realise that I lost so much weight and I start to refuse food, any kind of food not even my favourite waffle, I only want to sleep... This is not my usual self. As although I am sick I can still be very alert. Mommy was worry when I request to go to bed after awake on Saturday morning. Normally taking nap is by force and now I requested it. Then I vomit once after my lunch and 2nd vomit on the next monday... They still monitoring my condition... Hopefully I am recovered and can eat more and gain back more weight.

But thinking of the journey they might want to consider again as our IR is going to start operating. We can just take a train ride which is 1hr to spend a few days there. Only minus point no cooling air leh... Anyway still a long way to go who know our parents might save enough to bring us to some place further 8)

One day while I am sleeping Justen, I realise that he looked a bit troubled and here are our conversation.

Mommy : Why are you sad?
Justen : Somebody don't love me.
Mommy : Who?

Justen : Yes!
Mommy : Oh you mean Daddy is angry with you as you didn't listen to his instruction is it?
Justen : Yes...
Mommy : Daddy is not angry with Justen, daddy feel sad that Justen don't listen to him, go give him a hug and apologise to him and he will forgive you.
(Immediate jump out from his bed and look for daddy for his forgiver. After getting daddy's hug he go back to sleep with smile.)


Another time after lesson @ Act3 we took a cab home... Justen is playing around in the car.

Mommy : Justen don't play in uncle's car, he might not be happy and might ask you to go out of his car.
Driver Uncle : I not only going to ask you out, I am going to throw you out of my car.
Silent... Silent... Silent...
Mommy realise Justen is sad and asked.
Mommy : Justen why are you sad? Is it because uncle going to throw you out of his car?
Justen : Yes!
Mommy : Don't be sad, dear, Uncle won't throw you out of his car as he only do it to noti boy, but Justen is a good boy.

Today another caterpillar change into butterfly, this time round I am there to see it, it was a beautiful butterfly, it had yellow and orange wings. The color is almost the same as the stripe of the caterpillar. I am very excited and I release it away after viewing.

Goodbye Butterfly...
