妹妹的偶像

如果婆婆早到我们的家,婆婆会带着两个孙下楼去等家亨的校车来接家亨上学。

妹妹最喜欢接送哥哥。能够出门, 又能够穿她的 “kok kok” 鞋。(
“kok kok” 鞋 是那种会发出像高根鞋那种声音的鞋子)

怿萱总是高高兴兴的出门, 但不见得是高高兴兴的回来。 为什么?关键在于哥哥。如果哥哥上了校车没跟妹妹挥手, 妹妹回来时便会一副失望的样子说哥哥没看妹妹, 没跟妹妹挥手。嘴唇还稍微嘟嘟的。让人看了不知道是好笑,还是好气。

今天,妹妹回来可乐了。笑着说 “gor gor, 有跟妹妹挥手!两只手。有, 有挥手。”
一边说,一边露出一副得意的样子。

妹妹的偶像一出,谁以争锋啊。真是服了他们。

Preparation for Jiaheng's 6th birthday

Jiaheng is turning 6 years old on 12 April 2009.

Can't believe that I have been a mum for 6 years. It was just a tiny body that I held in my arms 6 years ago. And now, he is getting a bit too long for me to cradle in my arms. :) Still, I love to hug him like a baby... cos he is still a little baby in mommy's eyes.

Since this is the last year that Jiaheng will be celebrating birthday in his school, I wanted to give him something special to remember by. Next year, he will be in Primary One, and I figure that it is no longer possible to go to school to celebrate birthdays.

While browsing the internet, I came across the brilliant idea to come up with a personalised goodie bag for his friends at school. Something that is special cos it is made by Mommy.

After 2 nights of hard work, this is the result...































Really can't wait to see his expression when he sees it. :)

What is the difference between a rich person and poor person?

If I were to ask you the above question, what will your answer be?

Come on, take a minute to ponder about it?

Mommy was in the room next door putting Yixuan to bed and Jiaheng was doing his Abacus next to me. I popped him the same question.

And here is his answer...

"For rich people, 1 cent will grow into 10 cents and then 10 cents will grow into 1 dollar. Then to 10 dollars and 100 dollars.

Poor people will think 'aiya, what can you buy with 1 cent?!' "

Boy! This 6 year-old kid has a success mind-set.

What is your definition ?

Jiaheng is 3 out of 32 of an adult

Yesterday morning, after Jiaheng finished brushing his teeth, he came to me saying that his teeth is very painful and that he felt something moving.

After checking, I realised that his front incisor was slanted and behind the incisor another pearly white has cut through his gum. Heh! This is Jiaheng's first adult tooth... or so I thought... cos after the dentist checked him, she told Kai Hock that in fact the molars have come out on the left and right of the lower jaw.

The lady dentist was very friendly. Kai Hock found her through the internet. The regular dentist we went to is a nice doctor too, however, I guess he is more used to serving adult patients so not very "zai" when it comes to little ones. Jiaheng went for his regular check-up with our regular dentist a couple of times but that was just for routine checks and cleaning so we were not particularly anxious. But this time, we expected some form of extraction so Kai Hock wanted to look for one who is more experienced with children and so we found this lady dentist located at Telok Blangah.

We are very pleased with her... she really knows how to deal with kids and make them comfortable. As such, the extraction process was very smooth and before Jiaheng knows it, the tooth was already extracted.

After the extraction, the dentist offered a lollipop to Jiaheng to reward him for his "bravery". According to Kai Hock, Jiaheng first took a lollipop with a pink wrapper then he wanted to take another. The lady dentist said he can only have one. Jiaheng explained that he wanted one more for his meimei who is asleep outside the treatment room. The dentist said that meimei can get one the next time she comes.

Jiaheng thought for a moment and said that he will only take one and he will give this one to his meimei because his meimei likes pink. Upon hearing that, the lady dentist "melted" and offered him one more lollipop for himself. Aiyoh, my son, you so sweeeeeet. :)

Once, Jiaheng can start talking without the cotton pad in his mouth to stop the bleeding, he cannot wait to tell everyone he met that he is now 3 out of 32 of an adult cos 3 of his adult teeth came out.

And of course, an excellent teaching opportunity for me. Son, ... you are now 3 out of 32 of an adult... so your behaviour should be more responsible and more like an adult, ok? He just looked at me with an innocent look, nodded and said "OK" and walked off happily.

Well, not sure how much he understood from my teaching... Aiyoh... never mind... still have another 17 chances before all his baby teeth come out. Ha ha

Science Centre - Mind Fest 2009

We were lucky this weekend.

We went to the Science Centre with the kids planning to visit the routine exhibits but found out that there was a special activity, Mind Fest 2009 going on. Mind Fest was mainly organised for the school children and they are only opening to the public for this weekend. Just in time.

The children enjoyed the activites cos they were very hands-on. We designed our own aircraft which is supposed to float out of a gas chamber steadily. It is entirely up to the kids' imagination and creativity how they want to design it. There was also a paper plane flewing competition where you can pit the airplane you folded with others.

For Jiaheng, he was not keen on pitting his airplane against others but more keen on just flewing the plane and running after it.

Then there was a photo-light photography exhibit. We went in to a darkroom and were given some light emitting devices to create patterns with and then to capture the patterns on photo. Hmm... where am I? Too far for the light to capture me... should have stood next to Jiaheng.
















Yixuan's favourite activity was the Jitter-Bug activity, where we get to decorate our jitter bug and to create our very-own design. As I anticipated, our jitter-bug turned out to be a pinky bug cos Yixuan will keep passing mommy pink (Yixuan's fav colour) feathers to decorate the bug. Here's our very own design drawn by our Jitter-bug.















I always enjoy trips to the Science center. Always something new.
