听我说。。。

These are MUST MUST document lines..

1) Papa and mummy were talking about medical check-up and Xuan overheard it..

Xuan: 谁要去看医生?
Mummy: 是爸爸。不是看医生，是去检查身体。
Xuan: 那你有陪爸爸去吗？
Mummy：没有。
Xuan: huh! 你是他的老婆，为什么你没有陪他去？
Mummy：！！！ 哈哈！！
Papa: 那我的女儿呢？
Xuan：女儿要去读书吗！！

2) Last night, Xuan and didi kept running in and out of the bedroom despite mummy calling for them umpteen times to come back for bedtime. So Mummy raised her voice and ordered Xuan and didi to come in immediately for bed. Jiejie got angry and upset and started sobbing... she said, "我们是你的孩子，我们还这么小，为什么你要生气，为什么你骂我们?"

** Mummy was surprised with what she heard! She can't help but giggled out.. "是呀，你们是我的孩子，我这么疼你们，为什么你们不听我的话呢“？**
Xuan repeated the line again, "可是我们还小吗!"

Don't belittle what is in their mind even though they are only 4years+.. 哈哈哈

Lego time

We got our 1st Lego set just before National Day. Thereafter 2weeks later, papa and mummy added on 3 more boxes to our collection! :D Now we have about 2000 pieces and a Thomas the Train set for didi.

Xuan is getting better and better in creating interesting pieces this week compared to the 1st week. In the 1st week, Xuan wasn’t much confident and will ask papa or mummy to lend helping hand and build together with her.. car, castle, tall interesting buildings, long expressway, animals… Coming these 2 weeks, Xuan is independent in creating her own pieces now. She no longer asks for companion to build together. However, there is a rule to Lego time, i.e., the Lego set can only be taken out when mummy and papa are at home and permission must be sought before taking it out. This is to ensure that all the 2000 pieces are properly controlled. Hehehe…

Xuan and didi enjoy our Lego time!!


See our collection. :)

September Holiday fun II

September holiday is over and it is already the 2nd week of term 3.

Xuan has a different September holiday this time round as Xuan joined an external holiday programme @ Act 3.

Xuan had a fun-filled 4 morning at Act 3 in the week of holiday.

Xuan is already very independent when comes to attending classes. On the 1st day, she readily waved bye to mummy and marched into the room happily. During the break time, Xuan exclaimed, "mummy! It is fun!" the minute she saw mummy. hahah.. mummy was of course very glad to hear that.

Mummy also has a very pleasant observation. Xuan is so much more confident and at ease with unfamiliar crowds. She readily invites her new friends and even children from other classes to share the bench with her when she saw them sitting on the kerb eating their snack. All without hesitation and cue from anyone. Even though she didn't know all her friends' name well yet, she greeted everyone as "friend" when she sees them...so she goes," hi friend, hello friend.." She initiated a short chat with the coordinator as she was waiting to enter the class. She waved goodbye excitedly to every friend who we met along the way out of the class to wait for our chaffeur - our papa. :) I realised that Xuan is the only one displaying such friendliness among the 2 groups of 24 older children on the 1st day.

I am so so proud of my girl's friendliness and confidence! Well done!

Look at the fun times that Xuan has! :)

Walk under the moon

2 weekends ago, We went to clarke Quay to get ourselves immerse in the Mid-autumn moods. It was so crowded the minute we stepped out of Central Shopping mall. Mummy and papa were careful to hold us close.

We had a good one round walk around the clarke Quay area. As we were about to pass by the Indo-Chine restaurant, we chanced upon the dragon and lion dance, up-close right in front of us! It was very loud but an interesting experience for Xuan and Kai as this is the 1st time that we were at such close proximity to a dragon dance.

Xuan and didi had a long walk that night. When we left the place at 10pm+, Xuan was so tired that she almost fell asleep on the way home. So papa has to carry our dear Xuan home as she said that she was too tired to walk. haha..


Beautiful skyline

Xuan and Kai were sitting rather high up on the bridge for this picture. hehee... .

September holiday fun

It is already the September holiday week. So fast!



This is the 1st time that Xuan is having September holiday away from school since Xuan started school . This is because Xuan's school always has holiday programme. However, in this year, the school has decided to let the children have a break in the March and September 1 week break.

However, Xuan will not be idling at home!

Just 2 weeks ago, Xuan saw on OKTO a programme scouting for young talents and Xuan was very very keen. For 2 days, Xuan repeatedly and reminded mummy to sign her up. Seeing Xuan's keen interest and euthusiam, mummy who initally thought that it may be just a passing remark then began to look for information on the programme. That programme in Okto requires audition where the children are expected to give 1 minute of singing, 1 minute of dancing and 1 minute of acting. Mummy thought that it could be quite stressful and demanding as Xuan did not attend any class on these skills and decided to drop this programme.

However, mummy is determined not to disappoint Xuan. Mummy explored other drama and theatre schools and found out that ACT3 has a holiday programme that sounds fun and just right for Xuan. It is a 4days programme with fun at drama, music and dance and creative art and craft programme. At the end of the 4 days programme, the children will stage a performance for all the parents!

And yes, we have signed up and looking forward to a week of fun! :)
