On Saturday, I had to wake up early in the morning to see the eye doctor. I had to go to a couple of follow up after the last incident of infection. It’s free, so I take full opportunity of it. I went there to register myself, so that I will be the first one to see the doc. If not, there will be a long queue. Sometimes one patient can take an hour. Anyway my eyes are fine.

After that, I took the children to the park because it was a beautiful day, not too sunny and no rain. First they ran around the park, played slides, see-saw, horsy spring, swing and basically running around. Last time I used to follow Emily around, afraid she will fall. Now she is big enough, doesn’t fall so easily. I just watch them from afar, to make sure no big kids pushed them. The park was superb, it is big and has everything.

Later, they went to a workout area, actually it is for adult. They pretend they were doing workout, actually they just want daddy to take photos of them. It was a fun day with a breath of fresh air and a whole lot of sweat. What a good way to make them tired? 😆

Tim did a daring stunt while mummy was not watching. I was in my study room surfing the Internet while he and the mei mei outside watching his favourite cartoon. He took 2 chairs and stacked it on top of each other. One flat chair on the bottom and a small stool on top. He climbed onto the chairs and jump from the back of the sofa, onto the sofa. I came out in time to see him do that. Never in my mind, he will do such a thing. Boys being boys, I knew this day would come.

I scolded him and beat him on the hand. I asked him never to do that again. What if he falls down and knocks his head. I told him, it would be painful. I think he was more frightened of being scolded than attempting a stunt like that.

I heard from my friend that the schools are opened for registration in March. During lunch time, I went to the school, hoping to register Timothy. The school officer asked me to come back next year March. 🙁

What documents required for school registration?

1. Actual copy of the birth cert and a photocopy of it.
2. Utility bill showing the address of your house.
3. Pay slip for both parents. *not sure why they need it for*

By the way, I am registering him to national school. Why? Because mummy and daddy came from National school. I prefer to be able to help them with their studies. I want my children to be more relaxed without all the heavy homework. Life is not all about homework and As. I want them to learn with fun. No doubt learning mandarin is important. I will register them to extra classes for mandarin.

I heard that now in Chinese schools, they have English and Chinese subject for Maths and Science. Double homework for 2 subjects although the contents are the same.

Do check with your school of choice for registration info.

Time flies so very fast, now my gal has grown so much. Either that or I am getting OLD. 😥 She outsmart mummy. Blame it on the DHA.

Moments 1:
Mummy: Emily, you want ice-cream?
Emily: Iccce klim. *nod head*
Mummy scoop ice-cream into the bowl and pass it to her.
Emily: Tank you mummy.

Mummy and Daddy were teaching Tim to say thank you after receiving something. Emily picked that up. Now every time she gets something, she say thank you.

Moments 2:
Mummy: What you want to watch?
Emily: Barney
Mummy: This one? *take something other than Barney*
Emily: Mm moi. Mm moi. *make hand gesture and point to Barney VCD*
Mummy: This one.
Emily: *smile* Barney.
Mummy: Go sit at the sofa to watch.
Emily: *swing her little butt and climb onto the sofa*

Moments 3:
Mummy misplaced the air-condition remote control.

Mummy: Where is the remote control?
Emily: Here. *she point at the remote control*

Sometimes she tricks mummy, say here but nothing there. 😮

Moments 4:
Emily dislikes putting on seatbelt. She is supposed to sit on her car seat but Timothy will rush and occupied the car seat. For short journey, I allow Emily to sit next to me without the car seat. When she starts standing or move around in the car…

Mummy: Emily you want seatbelt?
Emily: mm moi *shake head*
Mummy: Sit properly

Emily will sit properly but later she will start moving again. Mummy have to keep repeating.

Emily’s Hand Print:

Timothy didn’t want me to print his hand. Next week I will try the feet.

Daddy’s Creative PlayDoh

Tim: Mummy I wanna watch Kiki Mouse.

Emily: Watch Barney.

Tim: I wanna watch Pingu.

Emily: Wanna Buzz LightYear.

Tim: Wanna watch Pingu.

Emily: Watch Barney.

Mummy at the player, waiting for them to decide. Fortunately I only have 2. Anyway, they are choosing their babysitter to keep them quiet as long as the show lasts.
