We wronged her.... :(

I felt so guilty after that…

Today me and Adrian brought Giselle to cold storage at Great World… She spilled her water on the floor while drinking it and it wetted her shoes a little. She took out her shoes, but me and Adrian thot she trying to notti by wanting to walk around bare footed. We told her if she is not going to wear her shoes, we will leave it there and she will be staying there with the shoes. Me and Adrian pretended to walk away and she stood there helplessly and no expression at all.

Adrian really walked away, but I was soft-hearted and stood at one side looking at her… then I go over to ask her wear her shoes, she told me wet. Then I realized me and Adrian wronged her. I hugged her and told her, next time must tell us that shoes is wet, cannot wear.. then we will wipe for her.. Now I think back, I still feel very bad.

"Exercise"... so funny!

Giselle has been watching Adrian do Yogo-cobra pose every morning. As we kept telling her that "Daddy is exercising"... her idea of "Exercise" is to do the cobra pose and downward-dog position. Today I ask her to some exercise, immediately she bend down and tried to imitate what her dad did. She even can put her 2 palms on her hand doing what Adrian usually does every morning... I really cannot stop laughing at her... It was just so funny. Hahaha

Happenings at School for the past Week....

Dear Mummy & Daddy

It was very quiet in class all this week. A few of my friends actually stayed home due to Chicken pox. I hoped they would return soon so we could play and have fun together! I was sure it would be livelier with them around. Despite of their absence, the fun never stops! Here’s what happened this week.

For English, Ms. Angela read us a book called “Hairy bear”. Mama and Papa bear was asleep when Mama Bear heard some noises coming from outside and she was too afraid to see what was happening. So, she woke Papa bear up. However, Papa bear refused to wake up and he said that he would fight the robbers when he woke up. Mama bear was a little cross and said that Papa bear was a scaredy cat. To prove that he was not, he woke up and went to find the robbers. When they found where the noise came from, they opened the door… … only to find brother and sister bear eating in the kitchen! We all chuckled when we saw the bears eating in a mess!

Ms. Angela also taught us on the different types of fruits and vegetables. For example, we must eat lots of carrots to see in the dark. Lettuce and cucumbers were found in the salad we eat on Tuesdays. Pumpkin and broccoli were in the soup served to us! I didn’t know we eat this much of vegetables daily! It happened to be a Tuesday when Ms. Angela talked to us about vegetables. She even got some cucumber for us to try! It was very crunchy.
Ms. Angela also talked to us about fruits. Apples were what we ate daily and we could not get enough! Orange, banana, grapes and watermelon were some of the fruits she introduced to us too! Oh yes. Ms, Angela said that we will “poo poo” if we were to eat a lot of banana. (Hehe!)

For math, we did threading using buttons. We were indeed getting pretty good at it. We made it into necklace, bracelet an even belts! It was very colourful. We also did a revision on colours.

For art, we played with dough. This time round, we had new dough! It was orange in color and it had lemon smell. Ms. Tan was the one who prepared the dough for us. A million thanks to her! We also did vegetable leaf painting and apple printing. Vivian was very good at apple printing! She looked for white spaces on the paper and ‘stamped’ her apple. It was very neat and tidy. I sure hoped I could be like her too!

For food fun, we had fruit juice. Hmmm… not quite like fruit juice I must say. Hehe! Ms. Angela actually forgot about the fruit juicer and we used the blender instead. We add in some bananas and apples. It seemed more like a fruit smoothie to me. Sean, Amanda, Yesukhei, Jovan and Kyna kept asking for more! It must be very yummy.

That’s all for this week, Stay tune for more fun next week! I was sure my teachers would have more fun stuffs lined up!

Her Baby Fish Lantern

Had bought her a Fish Lantern to go along with my bigger Fish Lantern. Thought this small size lantern would suit her very much. Though she has quite a few musical lantern, I still prefer her to have traditional hand-made lantern. She was so excited when she saw this and kept shouting "Baby-Fish Lantern"....

.

Sweet Handband

Was trying to make her look sweeter by making her wear a handband that I just bought from her at Lucky Plaza. Had a hard time choosing becos I wanted to get a hairband which wasn't too tight for her.

After a few days of Confinement at home, Finally can go out Liao!!!

********************************"Statue of Liberty"***********************************



Adrian and I decided to bring her to Vivo City this morning and she was so excited when she heard that.

Her Long-Lost Friend.. Ernie Puppet

I was on medical leave these few days and Giselle stayed at home to accompany me. Feeling bored, she went in search of new friends in her room and found.... her long-lost friend, Ernie.


Adrian bought this puppet from Carrefour when she was a young baby and she would laugh out loudly when Adrian used this puppet to play and talk to her. Since then, Ernie was forgotten by her and was left lying in the toy box. When she took it out this morning, she kept asking me "what's this?, what's this?"....

Dear Mummy & Daddy

This week had been a super quiet week. And most of my classmate did not come to school. However, the fun didn’t stop there! We did a lot of songs, rhymes and story this week. We even had lesson with Totsaurus! It was enjoyable to have them in our class. Like they say, the more the merrier!

Ms. Angela read us 2 stories this week. It was called “Not again, Anna!” and “Mrs. Wishy Washy”. “Not again, Anna!” was a story of Anna who yells and screams to get what she wants. Ms. Angela says that we could not do that. To get what we wanted, we must say “please” and “thank you” after we received it. When we get dirty, we had to clean ourselves up with tissue. Not with our hands. And if tissue didn’t do the trick, of course, then we washed our hands!

“Mrs. Wishy Washy” was a story of 3 farm animals, the cow, the pig and the duck. They saw mud one day and took turns to play in it. However, when Mrs. Wishy Washy saw the dirty animals, she was very upset and sent them all to the tub for a wash. “Wishy washy, wishy washy” The animals were all clean now. But when the animals left the tub, they headed back to the puddle of mud and played again. Oh no! I think Mrs. Wishy Washy was getting more upset this time round.

For math, we did puzzle play. This time, we were allowed to go around helping our friends. Some of our friends have some difficulty in solving the puzzles. I am glad I helped them.

For art, we did rubber stamping on a piece of paper, tea bag printing, play dough as well as making of Milo! The Milo tasted was delicious especially when we made it on our own.

Ms. Angela also taught us a new counting rhyme. It went like this,

6 Little Ducks that I once knew; fat ones, skinny ones, fair ones too.
But the one little duck with the feather on his back,
He led the others with a Quack, Quack, Quack. Quack, Quack, Quack--Quack, Quack, Quack.
He led the others with a Quack, Quack, Quack.

I could sing it pretty well. Would you like to sing with me too?

Looking forward to next week and hoping most of my friends would be back. I could not wait to experience the fun of having all my friends back!

你们好！时间过的真快，我们送走了黄金的八月，迎来了金秋的九月，在这个月里面，老师带领我们走进《健康与我》的主题学习，在这个月里面，我们从食物、蔬菜、水果和运动几个部分来学习什么是健康的，什么对我们人体有益等问题，老师会让我们从不同的角度和方面去了解健康，而且老师也带领我们简单的复习了我们之前所学习的交通工具。
在这个星期我们首先了解的就是食物，对于食物来说，可以说是我们的最爱，我们喜欢这些可能超过喜欢吃饭，那么老师将这些食物的时候我们也很有兴趣，我们学习了经常吃的糖，饼干，面包，麦片，还有经常喝的MILO，各种茶，老师经常喝的可乐，牛奶，水，酸奶，我们学习了这样多，老师告诉了我们哪些是对身体有益的，哪些是我们少吃少喝的，还有哪些是我们不可以吃喝的，我们知道了，不是每一种食物都对我们身体有益，以后我们吃东西的时候要有所选择，也尽量少吃那些对身体没有益处的。
这个星期，我们学习有“大新闻”，那就是突然我们的小朋友变少了，而且每天老师把我们的身体仔仔细细的检查许多遍，这是为什么呢？后来我们才知道，原来我们学校里面有许多的小朋友得了一种名叫“水痘”的传染病，一旦得了这种病身体上面全是小泡泡，要回家修养，所以我们的小朋友一下就少了许多，老师说他们会在两周左右的时间就会回到我们这个集体了，我们期待着他们的回来！
下面我就给爸爸、妈妈讲讲我们这个星期所学习的内容吧：

Today My Daddy 'Pom-Pom' for me... HELP!!!!!

Mummy wasn't feeling too well today and hence Daddy offered to bathe me for the 2nd time...since I was a baby. Initially he didn't put enough shampoo on my hair and Mummy got to keep asking him to be generous. I was screaming my heads off when Daddy was enjoying pouring water over my head. And Mummy hor, instead of saving me, kept snapping with her camera....OMG..... **faint**

Happenings at School for the Past Week...

This week was so fun! Of course, we had the once a year teachers’ day celebration and I was sure my teachers enjoyed it! I could see the joy in their faces when they received the gifts from you and me. They wanted to say a big thank you to you too! It sure felt nice to see all our teachers so happy.

This week, Ms. Angela read us 2 stories. One of which is called “The lion and the mouse” and the other, “Seven blind mice”. -

“The lion and the mouse” was a story of well, a lion and the mouse! One day, while lion was asleep, the little mouse ran over the lion and woke him up! Of course, the lion was very angry and wanted to eat the mouse up. But the mouse was very sorry and offered to help the lion if he was ever in trouble. Of course, the lion laughed at the little mouse and said that the mouse was too small to help him. With that, he let the little mouse go. One day, the lion was trapped and caught in the ropes! All the animals saw and left him. And guess who came to help? It was the little mouse! The little mouse actually bit the rope and made a huge hole so that the lion could run away! The mouse did save the lion after all and they became the best of friends.
“Seven blind mice” was a story of seven mice that couldn’t see. And yes, they were very colourful! One day, they found out that something had landed near their place and they didn’t know what it was. Day by day, each of the mice took turn to have a feel of what that something was. They went to the legs which felt like pillar, the nose that felt like snake and even the tail that felt like a rope! On day seven, the 7th mouse went all over that something and said that it’s an elephant! The other mice didn’t believe and went to have a look as well. And, yes! It was definitely an elephant. This book had very interesting illustrations and Vivian was pretty good at guessing what that something was!

We also learnt about the pre-phonic sound of letter “m” where monkeys are munching.

For math, we did threading of buttons and also a revision of shapes! We were really getting a hang on it but of course we needed more revision. You could do it together with me too. Amanda wass pretty good with her shapes.

For craft this week, we did a lantern each but we could not bring the lanterns home. Ms. Angela said that we were going to send the lanterns for competition. It was not about the prize but we definitely enjoyed it! I heard that it was going to be hung at Chinatown point. Maybe we could have a look when mid autumn festival is near?

And of course, we also had a performance on Friday in lieu of teachers’ day celebration. We wore our special aeroplane on and flew around the stage! Remember the surprise blue box that we painted last week? It was actually the aeroplane! Ms. Angela allowed us to bring the box back so that we could perform it for you. Do sing it with me so I could put on a great show for you!

That’s all for this week and I definitely am looking forward for a more exciting week to come!

She wanted to take this Photo with me!:)

Tonite, she suddenly came behind me and hug me from behind. I told her want to take photo with me and she said yes! Hence Adrian quickly went to grab the camera before she changed her mind.

Mummy Brought me for a Hair Trim today :)

Had suddenly decided to bring Giselle for a proper hair trim today as her fringe is poking into her eyes. All the while, I am the "hair stylist" for her by trimming her fringe at my house corridor staircase.

Brought her to Yoong at Oasis De Salon at Blk 18 Jalan Memina @ about 10.45am. Prempted Giselle that I am going to bring her for a haircut and she said "yes". She was quite cooperative throughout though she has bit of fear initially. I told Yoong that I just want a trim as I would like her to have long hair. I kept distracting her with things and she was ok. When came the hairdryer part... she got scared again.

Overall, the experience was better than I expected as she was willing to sit down without any struggling :)
