Sleeping Hours - It's Really Important!

Date: April 29, 2012

This is the recommended sleeping hours for your kids. As a parent you must always try to let your kids sleep, so that they can rest their mind and develop their mind while sleep.

My sons goes to bed before 9PM. And wakes up at 7AM in the morning.

In Singapore, A lot of parents may not be able to follow such schedule, as by the time they pick up their kids, and have dinner and reach home, it is usually 9-10pm. But, as I always said, do try your very best to keep to this schedule. Find a way.

School Trip to Science Centre

Date: Apr 28, 2012

I seldom miss their school outing. No matter how tired I am after long trip from overseas, I still committed myself to join the school field trip.

Kay Kay is N1 class, so, parents can still come along. This time is going to the Science Centre. When the boy gets older, you can't even join them anymore. :)

Your kids will remember, and enjoy every moment that you spent with him. Kay start pointing here and there, and start to be talkative show me what he knows on the bus.

Oh.. The sun is so shinny. PaPa come quick!

This is Kay Kay's N1 class. All line up looking at the cameras. It is then you know that my son is the naugthy little fellow where he does not usually follow instructions in school. Teachers starts talking now... hahaha

This is not the first time Kay Kay & Jay Jay visit Science Centre. We been here couple of times at different age level. We are even a Science Centre member, but I don't know where I misplaced the card.

This is Kay Kay's packed lunch. Wrapped with Thomas & Friends' bento cloth that we got from Japan. Nice and neat. And Cute too.

吃蕉! (Eat Banana)

Kay Kay is very picky on food. But he does eat most of the food provided at school.

Science Centre is really a good place where the kids can figure things out. They may not get it right at the first time, but it helps them to remember that they seen it before.

Looks complicated. But the kids are having lots of fun with it.

This is Gwen. Her brother Riyandi is same age with Jay Jay. Some times same class with Jay Jay. Gwen was in Kay Kay's class last year. The parents went to the same pre-natal class (during Boon's first pregnancy period) with us, deliver at the same Mt. Elizabeth, and Jay and Riyandi is only 1-2 weeks apart. 很有缘!

This is Carina. We always call her "NaNa". She is in the same class with Kay Kay. She is Kay Kay's good friend.

Only today I learned about her Chinese Name. 沈佳颍. (难道是九把刀的那些年里的沈佳宜的妹妹?) We always heard this name from the teachers... "凯凯今天咬娜娜的手"，“凯凯用玩具敲娜娜的头” (mostly not the good news), so we always made Kay Kay to say "Sorry" to NaNa after all these incidents. HaHaHa I will always make sure Kay Kay says "Sorry NaNa" and then, follow by a big hug to NaNa at school.

As long as there are something that can turn... the kids will love it.

Pa look! I can pick my nose and walk on the board.

Did he just pull the heavy log out?

What is he pulling again?

While waiting inside. Nothing to do. The kids are playing and having fun with a piece of cardboard.

OK. This is new. This is what I call "In-App purchase". Same same as Apple App mah.. Since when they start collect money inside the Science Centre?

Oh... you can grab some free candies.

Today, teacher is teaching Sweet Sour Bitter & spicy!

Kay Kay's favorite. He will just keep staring at those running balls.

The teachers will let them try lemon, bitter tea, and now potato chips. Kay saw it... "I want I want!"

And guess what? Its a Spicy Chips! This is the first time, Kay Kay ate something that is so spicy!

And he cries.... "Too spicy... papa" hahahahaha 贪吃的后果。

Observing the wave pattern...

This is always our favorite photo shots...

OK. Its time to go back. Let's wait for the bus here.

Jay Jay also came back. The K2 class was going to the different sector in Science Centre. That is why I did not see Jay Jay many times there. Well, he looks very happy!

That concludes the field trip. wow... they put this at the school. Lorna Whiston is the top 20 Spark certified school.

Spring Carnival 2012

Date: Apr 22, 2012

Yesterday, the kids had their most wonderful time at the Lorna Whiston Spring Carnival 2012. This is the big party organized by the pre-school every year around the Easter time. Jay & Kay have been their full-day students since 18 months of age. So, they knew all the teachers there, they knew all the students there, be it morning or afternoon classes.

The rain has not been kind since 6AM in the morning. It was pouring. We were 30 minutes early. Not many people there. But it turns out to be great later.

First station is the fishing game. The game is designed to test their motoskill.

Second station is the catch the mice game. Again, once you catch the mouse, you have to carefully bring the mouse to a bucket.

This is Kay Kay first time playing the game, I think he is having lots of fun!

That's Clare, Conrad and Jay Jay. They are in the same K2, but they purposely separated the noisy Jay and Conrad to different class. HaHa...

As usual, Jay Jay tries to be funny. "Hello hello! Anyone home?"

Next, it is the Breakfast Jam and Cheese table.

This is Jay Jay's entry for the drawing competition. Although he did not win, but he had lots of fun producing it. It's OK la. I see the judges did stay a bit longer time there looking at these few drawings.

OK. You eat my bread, and you must give me a big kiss, the WeiLu teacher says. This is also the day where parents get all these small small little info about how your kids behaves in school from all the teachers. Fun and nice.

Oh... That is 李老师's Curry Chicken stall. Me and Jay Jay helped to design and produce the sign board.

I got to tell you, the curry chicken is so nice! I ate the whole bowl.

The school must have checked the weather for today. That is why the tent is extra ordinary huge that they can even place a Jumping Castle inside.

All the kids is waiting to jump inside the Jumping Castle.

Jump! Jump! Jump!

Jay Jay always have his fun in the Jumping Castle.

Is this toss the coins game?

This year, there is this second hand stall. It is all parents' contribution. Wow, an old golf set.

This year, the K2 class will have to cook Apple Jam. And make the Apple Jam bottle.

And Jay Jay found his Jam bottle. Of course, we bought it. We bought 4 bottles of Apple Jams. He called it Criss Cross Apple Jam. Not sure what is the reason.

High quality face painting stall.

The face paint stall run by Ms. Joy and other teachers and parents. Ms. Joy is drawing a spider man face mask.

Take a look at Aiden. The snake on his face, and the snake mouth is his mouth. HaHaHaHa Well done!

Ping Pong ball shooter gun. OK, we do not promote violence at home, so there is not a single gun or knife or any kind of weapon at home. The clueless Jay Jay wanted to play, but don't know how and was hoping he can learn from Conrad. Conrad seems to know how to play. hahaha
