Time flies

Time flies....school already started for 1 week plus. I remembered, when my boy started his primary one school life in 2013, i talked to myself "how am i going to speed up the time so that i can lessen my miserable suffer", but it's just like in the blink of an eye, my boy completed his primary one school life and he's in primary 2 now.

The 7 weeks school holiday seems not enough for all of us. I was busy with my work til the very last 2 weeks of the school holiday, finally i am able to take a rest. However, who knows, the fist week of my off week, i was down with bad throat infection, there go my plan to spend time with the kids. By the time i fully recover, it's almost time for the kids to get ready for their 2014 schooling life.

Hope 2014 will be a smooth sailing year for both my boy and girl !!

开课了！

给儿子。。。

很多人会觉得我太保护孩子，孩子已经是二年级学生了，我还坚持要在开学第一天仍然到学校去。I am who i am, you can choose to accept or reject me, however, i am still me !

身为职业妈咪，我已失去了一起与孩子成长的机会，现在若我仍不放下工作，陪一陪孩子，恐怕我会后悔。我记得，去年当孩子上一年级时，一个朋友讲，我们只可能有这三天的机会待在学校倍孩子，下一次再来，可能就是孩子毕业的时候了。讲得蛮有道理。虽然，我时不时会到孩子的学校去，但在不同时候和情况之下，毕竟心情是不一样的。

今天，我仍然很开心，因，当我看到孩子开心的笑容时，我觉得，小小的牺牲( 学校好热，我简直是汗流浃背）是值得的。

宝贝，二年级了，加油！！！

给女儿。。

妹妹，K2 了，是学校里的大姐姐，要乖乖哦！ 妈咪没到学校去，因妈咪知道学校里的老师会照顾你。哥哥就不同，因哥哥到国小，凡事都自己处理。

宝贝，幼二了，加油！今年是你在幼儿园的最后一年，明年你就会跟哥哥一起上学去！

Foam Party at Hord Rock Hotel

Being invited by an old friend of mine to Hard Rock Hotel foam party, when i told the kids about the plan, both of them looking forward to the event.

It's my fault, i gave the kids wrong info, i told them "the party will be in the pool and the whole pool will be filled up with foam". However, when we reached the pool, realized that the event is not in the pool, but it's beside the pool.

The hotel actually set up the foam party by the beach and keep pumping lots of foam into the pool for the kids to play. In fact, the session being separated into kids and adult. Kids session from 5 til 7pm; whereas adult session is from 7pm onwards. At the entrance of the foam pool, there's an arch shape water spray for the kids to clean themselves after they being covered by foams. Kelvin enjoy playing with Vanessa and Joel, however, Kaitlyn doesn't seems enjoying herself. We managed to make her play with the foam for awhile before letting her to play in the real pool with water.

It seems like after awhile, all kids get tired with the foam and they decided to deep into the pool. So, for us, we just need to keep our eyes on the kids as they are jumping in and out from the water. Finally, the lucky draw session start. Both Vanessa and Joel names being called out and they won small souvenir. Poor Kelvin and Kaitlyn, they get nothing..but glad that both of them enjoy playing with Vanessa and Joel.

It's tiring, hungry......after get the kids showered, we went to Penang Swimming Club for dinner. Ooops, wrong decision, there are club function and the kitchen busy serving food to them. So, we waited for almost 45 minutes before we can fill up our tummy. By the time we finish our dinner, it's already supper time, 9:20pm. We ended up the day by saying goodbye, see you to each others with 4 grumpy look kids.

弟子规小状元

After one year of learning 弟子规, it's time for you to enjoy the fun of attending the 弟子规 certification ceremony.

On 1st Dec, we went to Han Chiang Secondary School for the 小状元 certification. As you only taking one small part which is 弟子规, thus, it's consider the easiest as compare to the others who are taking  弟子规, 三字经，百孝经  and many more.

We reached the hall close to 9am and it is already crowded with people. Each of the participants will need to go through a one to one test with the invigilator. The Invigilator will have choice of asking the student to do the recitation sequentially or randomly. This is to ensure the kid know the end to end of the whole concept of what they have learned.

While waiting for the rest to complete the exam and also for result, the thoughtful organizer do arrange activities to keep the kids occupied. After around 2 hours, finally the result is out. Congratulations , my boy!!! He passed the 小状元 certification. Well, it's not the end yet. Each of them need to go though the 状元门，a sign of them being certified 小状元.

The whole session finally ended by 12 noon. It's tiring but yet a fun day for the kid!

Well done, Kaitlyn !

Few days before the prize giving ceremony, teacher told us she won prizes in all the 3 languages writing competition. I still remembered, on the prize giving ceremony morning, when my girl wakes up, she told me she gets number 2 placing in her class, and i jokingly tell her that it must be there's only 2 student in her class.

Frankly, all the while, i under-estimate my little sweetie pie and i put more attention on her brother. I feel so bad for not focusing much on her and i am so proud of her achievement.

Well done, my sweet little girl. Keep it up!

爱尔兰三星期工作+游

每天我都会与孩子们通电话，一开始，我回很想他们，他们也会想我。。。但是，就像我一个朋友所说的，时间可以冲淡一切思念。慢慢的，孩子们就没心跟我聊。时间过得好快，三个星期 (10/4 ~ 10/27) 就这样的结束了，是倦鸟归巢的时候了。再见爱尔兰。

沉重的心

一直以来，我以为妹妹还小不会因我不在而伤心。但是，我的确错了。还有一天，我就会离家三星期，公干去。

这几天，我再提醒妹妹，出乎预料，妹妹竟然告诉我她会很伤心，会想念我。我试着告诉她，妈咪会买很多礼物回来。再次，出乎预料，她竟然告诉我，她什么都不要，她只要我别去公干。听了，简直就像被人狠狠地从高处扔下来!!

宝贝，妈咪会每天打电话回来跟妳聊哦。只怕，到时候，妳不要跟我聊罢了。还有，记得别跟哥哥打架或吵架噢！
