Chess Dual
April 22nd, 2011 · No Comments · Donald, Just Family, School & Enrichments
Donald attended chess lessons before, back in K2 days, but he found it boring and thus we stopped. Now in P1, they are once again exposed to chess as a complusory enrichment for half a year. This fueled his interest. He took out the chess board and chess pieces and wanted to challenge me to [...]

A Typical Sat Morning
February 26th, 2011 · No Comments · School & Enrichments
When I was in primary 6, my mom brought us, together with our childhood friends, to Yan Choong Lian Dance Troupe for chinese dance. I was there for a year i think. Even though Mdm Yan was quite fierce, I had deep impression of my time there. So when I had kids, I told myself [...]

Relaxing by the Pool

Toria and Donald has swimming lessons. Brought Liz down to play water as well. Bella came too. She cries alot at home, but when she leaves the house, she is quiet and happy! Looks like she is an extrovert??

Donald’s 3rd Day
January 6th, 2011 · No Comments · School & Enrichments
3rd and final day that we are allowed to stay in school. We just dropped by for his recess. He was on his own. The buddy system was off, to give the P1 a chance to be independent. Donald did well. Again, he ate nasi lemak. Daddy and I joked that since there are 7-8 stalls [...]

Donald’s 2nd Day
January 5th, 2011 · No Comments · School & Enrichments
After dropping Liz and Toria at home, we rushed back to Donald’s school. On the way in, we saw Gabriel, his P5 mentor and spoke to him a little. We missed his 1st recess. We went to the hall where his class were having some games. After that, we waited around for his 2nd recess. [...]
Lizzie’s 1st Day in Preschool
January 5th, 2011 · 1 Comment · School & Enrichments
Thankfully, Nanyang Kindy only started their school for the pre-nursery classes on the 5th. So I could spend Donald’s first day with him on the 4th, and yet not miss Liz’s first day. Even though their program for the 1st day was boring for a 3rd time mummy like me, I still wanted to be [...]
Donald’s 1st Day in Primary School
January 4th, 2011 · 1 Comment · School & Enrichments
4th Jan 2011… Donald embarks on another chapter of his life. He officially starts P1, he is now a school going child. We woke up at 6am, got ready to leave at about 650am. Donald was still playing with his toy car before leaving. I wonder is it to “cover up” his nervousness? Or is it [...]

This is the Children’s Day Present from Donald’s art school – One Art Studio. They did a collage of the art work Donald did so far, and printed into a photocard. Nice!
Toria Birthday Celebration in School
September 27th, 2010 · No Comments · Little Friends, School & Enrichments
Mummy and Bella is still in the hospital, so Oma and Daddy went to Toria’s class to celebrate her birthday in school. We ordered a Sleeping Beauty cake from E-creative. Toria wore a sleep beauty outfit. Lizzie tagged along. They went to “extract” Donald from his class to join in the fun.
Abstract Art in Blue
September 15th, 2010 · No Comments · Just Family, School & Enrichments
Oma commissioned Donald to draw an abstract painting in blue for her bedroom. So Donald told his art teacher exactly that. When he came back with his artwork, I was pleasantly surprised. I love it! So much that I was quite reluctant to pass it to Oma! The blue was so peaceful and comfortable to [...]

A Hundred Ladybugs
September 8th, 2010 · No Comments · School & Enrichments
Oma and Ogu loved Donald’s artwork. Ogu asked Donald to draw her ladybugs, and Donald was so excited about it. He went to class last week and told the teacher that he wanted to draw ladybugs. When I called the teacher at the end of the lesson, the teacher told me that he can’t finish [...]

Class Photos 2010
August 29th, 2010 · No Comments · Just Family, School & Enrichments
Previously I was so upset with the hairdresser who cut Donald’s and Victoria’s hair horribly, thank goodness their class photos still turned out well. Donald looked especially nice in his graduation potrait. He came home and told me that the photographer asked him to smile, but he replied the photographer that he doesn’t know HOW [...]

Donald’s Canvas Painting Artwork
August 25th, 2010 · 1 Comment · Just Family, School & Enrichments
Toria is attending ballet class at Palais Dance Studio at Crown Centre. There is a One Art Studio there, so I signed Donald up for art lessons there while Toria has her ballet class. 一石二鸟。 Normally they will paint on drawing paper. But if I pay $10 more each time, he can choose to draw [...]

Swim Videos

Donald is really improving leaps and bounds. He can jump in and swim the breadth of the pool by himself. And today, he attempted swiming back and forth the breadth of the pool without help and without stopping.   Toria is younger, thus her progress is slower.Â

Donald Shows off His Swim Skills
July 25th, 2010 · No Comments · Just Family, School & Enrichments, Videos
Daddy brought the kids down to the pool today. I went down a little later to take some pictures. And Donald insisted that he wanted to show me that he could swim using the stroke that Uncle Raymond had taught him. So I recorded for him. It is such a great improvement! Wonderful!  Â
