[Xiang: 2y11m] Completion of 3 year old class . Holiday Program

19 Nov 2009

Tomorrow, Xiang will complete his 3 year old class. I have no regrets of enrolling him so early, although he is a year end baby.

It seems like yesterday, when we took him for his 1st day class. Then he continueously crying for months! He was such a baby (and he still is, as compared to his classmates told by his teacher).

So after a year completed, what does he gain?
1. Friends - towards the end of school semester, teacher commented that he started to chat with friends in class. (haha, teachers don't like this!)
2. Confidence - not a great degree, but he dares to talk with teachers now.
3. Motor skills - hmm, he's still weak in this.
4. Learning - He's good in this, he knows well his phonics and the items which teachers taught.
5. Prizes or Awards - haha, none for my little boy. He is those so-so grade, not too good and not too bad either.

*************

I have been visiting various schools and centres for holiday classes. I have actually quite keen to enrol him into Bao Bei Chinese Learning.

Wei Xiang doesn't want it. All he wants during the holiday is stay at home and stay with me. When I mentioned about the word "Bao Bei", he will cry immediately. Not those screaming-yelling-cry, but really sad soft sobbing while muttering "我不要去宝贝。。。。我要在家和妈咪一起。。。"

I give up and so, for the coming holiday, I will work out a holiday "program" for him. Well, not those forceful daily schedules. Only one objective in my mind ---> improve his gross & fine motor skills!

Chap Tou!

Hahahahahahaha! Me & my eldest sister can't help keep on laughing. It feels so great!!!!!! We will sure always go back to Tesco Setia Alam for our shopping!

See this?

Maxim 28cm non-stick pan. The price at the cashier scanning is RM61.90.

We bought for........................... RM32.90!!!

Receipt as prove:

The trick???

We found this on the rack with impossible low price tag. We took 2 pieces, paid at the cashier and told the cashier that it is RM32.90

Tesco Management really deserves the credit, they checked and told us they did put a wrong price tag. But, they will honour the price which ever is lower!!! My salute to them!!!!!

P/S: Yes, we knew it's wrongly tag before heading to the cashier. We were trying out luck and really chap tou!!! Hahahahahahahahaha!

Saturday Morning

14 Nov 2009

We went to the Paramount Sales Office this morning. They are having a soft launch of their double-storey link house final phase 9 in Kemuning Utama, and today is the fifth day. This is not advertised in public yet. Their official launch will be on January 2010 and only then, will be able to sign the SPA.

We were lucky to able to book a unit for my eldest sister on last Thursday. Today, more than 90% sold out and majority left is having un-strategic location. It was really selling like a hot cake! Some told me that a housing agent booked 7 houses in one short!!!

While I was there, I manage to snap a photo of my new house which was under Phase 8. Er ... well, miniature of my house. We have choosen one just beside the playground.

The two kiddo were running around, playing hide and seek, admiring the miniature "car" in the display shelves.

Inspection of our new home

Finally it is November 2009. Our new house in Kemuning Utama will be ready in this month.

However, as I bought it from subsales, my wait will be longer.

I've joined the housing area community forum and came to know that the developer has decided to divide into 3 months in handing over the keys. I was so worried that the seller is not in the 1st batch.

This afternoon an unexpected phone call came. The owner was so nice to invite us along on Monday afternoon for the inspection of the house! I really didn't expected it, since all the bank & lawyer transactions were not completed yet.

Looking forward to next Monday and will sure snap lots of photos then!

[Xiang 2y11m; Qi 1y8m] Year End Concert; Tantrum before sleep

10 Nov 2009

Yesterday was Xiang first school concert. Thanks to H1N1, the school decided to cancel the big event and did a small concert within the school compound. Parents are not invited due to space constrains. So sad and disappointed that I can't see his first school concert. Hopefully there will be photos available for us later on.

Xiang came back home yesterday with blue eye-shadow. I think he had some Chinese Traditional Dance performance but whenever I asked him to dance for me to see, he kept on jumping around and waving hands. Sigh, not so sure this boy really knows how to dance at all!

We had a good laugh at him when saw him being make-up ... like a girl!

*********************



I'm having difficulty with Qi night time. She was so noisy now. Before this, we just put her to her cot, and she'll fall asleep after awhile. For the past few days, she was shouting VERY LOUDLY and I think she did it deliberately. Then she kept on asking for "shh shh" in potty even though we put diaper on her. When we put her on potty, she sat for awhile, then quickly stood up without pee-ing and SMILED at us. This is very annoying especially after N times and already closed to mid-night. Or she'll asked for toys to play but we can see that she's already so sleepy. She just wanted to continue playing. So for these few nights, she was scolded either by me or her daddy, and cried herself to sleep.

Qi cried and screamed just like being forced to take medicine

I received the same complaint from her nanny, that she likes to SHOUT and getting nottier. I knew that she's not those graceful type of girl but all those screaming and shouting really give me headache and ear-pain.

Dermatoglyphics Code Test / 皮纹密码测验

The first time I heard about Dermatoglyphics Code Test / 皮纹密码测验 is from my sister. Then today I was visiting kindergarten and one of the teacher told me about this test again.

This is a test for kids, base on 10 fingers' prints. It is said the test will find out children talents & potentials, strengths & weaknesses. This will aid in adopting appropriate teaching method and not wasting time pushing the kids to learn something they are totally not fond of.

Any mummies have any opinion about this test?

Worry~

31 Oct 2009

It should be a happy go-back-home weekend. I reached home yesterday night, and was so surprise to see my father lying down, looking pale and in pain. Me & my sister quickly rushed him to the emergency. Doctor on duty & surgeon suspected appendix. My father was amitted.

Today the scanning result came out, they could not found anything wrong, AGAIN!

My father has actually done CT scan many times before this, since he has frequent stomachache for the past one year. The scan shows my father's intestines are clear and nothing wrong with him.

This is the second specialist he saw and again, the same result. Why????

What we can do now is wait. My father is on antibiotics drip and we need to wait till Monday for the next scanning.

Please pray for me that everything will turn fine.

[Xiang 2y10m] M!

20 Oct 2009

A day after Xiang has his 3 stitches.

Xiang was doodling on paper while I was doing work. Suddenly...

Xiang: "Mami, 你看! Old McDonald."

I was so surprise to see a nicely written "M" on the paper.

(Note: Xiang loves McD fun fries, sometimes when he saw the sign M, he'll say it's Old McDonal just like his song)

I couldn't believe that he just wrote an M :"Wow! 再写给Mami看!"

He smiled proudly and showed me again ....

Using his fingers to trace out a M!!!

[Xiang 2y10m] – 1910 : 3 stitches

This is the day which I’ll never forget. Xiang has his first experience of being stitching up.

I brought Xiang to one of my good friend’s house. It was a happy gathering until Xiang fell down. I was too slow to react and just watching him fell from sofa. I heard a loud sound and knew he hit something.

When I picked him up, I was not able to see his face yet, one of my friend shouted: “OMG! BLOOD!!!”. Xiang was crying furiously “头疼疼!!!”. My brain was blank then. He put his hand over his forehead and I too put mine over his hand. Another friend handed me some tissues, then only I realized both of hands are covered with blood, some dripping into his arms & shirt. I told my friend to send us immediately to clinic.

Xiang was amazingly brave, while we rushed out the door. He has stop crying. I told him that we are going to doctor and he’s going to be alright. He understood and told me that he wanted to go to the doctor.

I am so glad that my friends remained calm. I overheard that they were calling the clinic to confirm the available of the clinic. It was lunch hour and there’s none doctor on call. So we headed to another nearest clinic. It’s at the second floor of a shopping complex.

Once we got down the car, everyone was looking at us. There’s a man who’s so helpful. He opened the door for us and even run to stop the lift for us (the lift’s door was open when we saw it). We headed straight into the clinic though there were lots of patients waiting outside; I guess all doesn’t mind seeing the blood from Xiang’s forehead.

The doctor was superb, speaking softly to Xiang, washed and cleaned his wound. Xiang was brave too when having his stitches – 3 of them. The third one is a bit painful, a little crying from him, then all done.

See, he got the blue-black on Sunday (fell from playground). Then on Monday another scar on his forehead. I hope that his scar will not be permanent.

P/S: He seems not getting his lessons, today he climbed up my window grills, letting go one of his hand to grab the baby powder bottle from my high cabinet. Then second time, he pulled his kiddy table to take down the big swimming pool from the store room. Haiz ….
