Took a random shot of T’s laptop screen. I don’t even know what is akhshan gaming. T’s favourite x-mas present this year is definitely the “Hawker Wars” card game. Our friends and family knows he likes to eat, so he actually received two food-themed games this year, lol! T’s final cooking class was in mid […]
T has been bringing home all sorts of food from his cooking classes. The classes are 2.5 hours each, so it’s a combination of making food from scratch or assisting the teachers to complete the food items. T’s fav dish is the spaghetti. My fav dish is the berry cheese cake. Yumz!
T was issued a Health Risk Warning Order (HRWO) in Nov, and he did plenty of ARTs so that he could continue to go on with his life (i.e. attend school) as per normal. Had a nosebleed after one of the tests. T received his PSLE results last week, he was happy enough with his […]
Feast. 奶奶 cooked a feast last weekend. Love her soups! T didn’t like her food though. He had takeaway sushi instead. Hmrpf … Lamp. Caught T hugging a lamp one day. He actually told me that was “A day in the Life of a Lamp”. Oooo so random! Curry. Took a snap of my mum’s […]
23 Mar 19(Walked past a video shop, T saw Crazy Rich Asians on sale. He knew I read the book and that I watched the movie on a recent holiday.)T: You know, I saw Crazy Rich Asians in the shop.Me: Yah, I watched the show on a flight recently.T: I know. Are there terrorists in […]
Schools hols are over! KL worked really short hours this June, so he spent a lot of time with the boys. We ate so many times at NUS this school hols because K signed up for a week long math program there. I think I am quite sick of the food at UTown already. T […]
Boys attended coding classes for a week over the year end hols. Came back with a Micro:bit kit. Was watching K play with kit at home, it certainly looks fun!
Boys joined a two-session music appreciation program last month. Program was conducted by the big boys and girls from Eunoia Junior College’s Chinese Orchestra. At the end of the program, all of them played Twinkle Twinkle Little Star together. Not too bad!
Boys joined a 5 week mini squash program. T only likes it a little bit, and complains about not wanting to go on some weeks. K is a different story. He took to the game very well, upgraded to an older class by the third week, and wants to continue playing. Program has stopped because […]
Boys learnt to ice skate last month! We trooped down to JCube every Sunday morning for five weeks. Both K and T said the lessons were good!
Awesome to go on separate dates with the boys! On Saturday, T and me had lunch at Clementi. He wanted to eat mac & cheese at Swensons. After that we popped by the library, he went for Chinese tuition, I hung around at the mall, we met up to return home. On Sunday, K and me […]
June Holidays are coming to an end! Boys spent the first week of their holiday in Melbourne, second week at home, third week at Science Camp, fourth week at home. Nothing too spectacular. T had no school homework, so we made him do Chinese tuition homework and Kumon sums on weekdays. K had a lot […]
T told many lies today. He was supposed to turn up at his Chinese tuition teacher’s house at 2.30pm. When he didn’t turn up and she called him, he said he didn’t know how to get there. Which is a lie, because he has been walking on his own to her house for months. She […]
K started Chinese tuition early this year. He can’t catch up in class and because we make it a point not to help the boys with their school work at all, his Chinese grades have been slipping. He’s now cruising at Band 2 after spending half a year with the tutor, so it’ll be good if […]
Another week, another camp, another outdoor excursion. K is attending a science camp this week and he brought my camera along to Lower Peirce Trail today. He said part of the route was closed for construction. I took a peek into his bag and I think this week’s camp is focused on learning about plants.
K is attending a Chinese camp this week. Today the camp providers brought them to Pasir Ris Mangrove Boardwalk. He took pictures and described what he saw to us (in English).
Boys learnt the piano for six months in London. It’s challenging to get them started again in Singapore because the lessons here are so expensive! Am still searching for a reasonably-priced teacher/school that’s near our home so K can travel by himself for classes. Meanwhile, they’ll just have to contend with playing whatever sheet music […]
First time visiting a public pool since we’re back. Good choice to come on a weekday morning because there’s no one else at the water play area =) T just started swimming lessons last weekend. Hopefully after a few months, he’ll not have to use a float anymore!
We honestly could not have found a better home in Central London. The quality of the accommodation was very good, and so were the facilities. The rent was very reasonable for Central London standards. Most importantly, we all enjoyed the time we spent at the college. Boys would hang out in the play rooms during the colder months and hang […]
With March being gone, I’ve completed 2/3 of my program. All the taught classes have ended and I’m looking forward to handing in my final essay this week before heading off for a holiday with the boys. T has outgrown TWO pairs of school shoes while we’re in London. It’s compulsory for them to wear black […]
Found a lot of pics on KL’s phone. The three of them sometimes eat without me on weekdays when I have evening classes or stay in the library late. The three of them also play quite a lot without me on some weekdays. In fact, some of these pics I am seeing for the first […]
29 Jan 14 — We’re going to be here often cos I’ve finally put my foot down and switched K’s gym to one that’s in Jurong. It took me so long to decide because the Jurong gym is way smaller than our older gym, class timings are halved AND class fees are doubled! But seeing […]
15 Jan 14 — No screaming/crying pics of him at the dentist cos I was too busy holding him down. Instead, we have lots of smiley faces to remember that traumatic day. Smiley at 8am+ cos he’s happy to wear his gor gor’s green sweater. Smiley at 10am+ cos he’s happy to be hitting the […]
While waiting for his gym class to start, K is teaching T how to get up/down the fitness corner bars safely. K attended quite a few gym classes since we first tried it two months back. We go fortnightly now, on Wednesday evenings from 7 – 9pm. T usually sticks around with me to wait and […]
A friend recommended the class to us. K went for a trial just now and he likes it very much! We’ll probably sign up for a few months on a weekday 7 – 9pm slot. Have already negotiated with him that on days when he’s attending gym, there’ll be zero books. He just goes for […]
Today, Gong Gong asked K about his Sunday swimming lessons. Thought I’ll post some photos to show Gong Gong what he did last week. He’s still learning froggy kick now (which is breast stroke), but last week the class was modified to allow the boys (only boys in his class, no girls) to practice floating […]
This is probably one of our last visits (or maybe the last visit) to the nice swimming pool @ One North Alumni Club. KL’s membership is expiring at the end of this month and we’ve decided not to renew it. I guess the main consideration is that I haven’t been bringing them to this pool […]
K attended a trial swimming lesson today. For the longest time, I’ve been searching for a weekday afternoon swimming lesson that’s conducted in a pool nearby … but to no avail. Today I finally caved in and bought him for a Sunday 3pm-4pm trial at a pool that’s 1.5km away from our home. He spent […]
K pestered me to go for a gym class trial, which is an enrichment class at the childcare centre that happens every Thursday for 45 mins and costs S$20+ per session. Since the trial is free, I told him to try it this week, and he told me that he “really likes it”. I was […]
Thoughts that ran through my head as I looked through the timetable … A lot less Chinese lessons that the older brother. Letterland! This is something that T already likes (Clever Cat is his fav this week) so I’m sure he’ll enjoy learning about the characters in class. Lunch is really early at 10.30am … […]
