Little Ballerina
26 Sep 2011 (Mon):
Back-dated post on 18 Sep 2011(Sun): i was held up with work, thus did not witness this incident.
Just for memory purpose :)
Rachel actually shook hands with K.Shanmugam, MP for Nee Soon GRC. Rachel has changed into her ballet tutu when Mr. K.Shanmugam walked past. He shooked hands with Rachel,smiled at her & said: " Oh, u are a little ballerina. "
Rachel smiled shyly back & ran to hide behind my sil.

I Do Not Understand
20 Sep 2011 (Tues):
This is one of my own ramblings.
I came across a blog post which i was reading and the writer asked those who followed her blog to pray for their fren who js lost his life partner due to cancer.
A sad thing that followed was they just adopted a little boy from Ethopia 4 mths back. This little boy was only 10 mths old then.
So now, this little boy had only a short 4 mths love from his mum, which he may or may not know.
What I DO NOT UNDERSTAND is that since the mummy had been fighting with cancer back then & she knew she had this illness way before adoption, why did they still wanna adopt?
Did she weigh the pro & cons? Did she knew hw long she had to live? Did she think she can provide all the love & care for her son?
There are just so many questions.... I DO NOT UNDERSTAND!!!!

Catch - a - Crab?
18 Sep 2011 (Sun):
After dinner @ Bedok Point, we went over to Punggol Field, err.. not exactly, somewhere ard there, nearby Punggol Plaza, off Tebing Lane. A night spot for 'night birds'....
Catch - a - crab, err.... fish... or prawns.. u name it... they have it. There are also a few cafes, bistros & restaurants, even Popeye's. For the non anglers, have a game at the billard centre.
Some of their catch. Fishes of different sizes... ice cubes to keep it fresh.
A glimpse of the area...

Preparatory Class for P1
15 Sep 2011 (Thurs):
Received a consent form from the school regarding Primary 1 Preparatory Class for all K2 students. This is to inspire the child & to pre-empt them the expectations in primary 1. I have defintely gave my consent. The school have meticulously planned their syllabus as closely as the primary school core-curriculum & this i must agree, after looking thru the kids' termly lesson plans & given homework.
Will provide more details once i have an idea what they do during their preparatory classes which will begin in December.

8 Friends
12 Sep 2011 (Mon):
Lionel told me other than himself, another 4 of his classmates will be joining him next year in the same primary school @ YPS.
Zhi Qin, Diane, Joe & Tyron are all his K2 clasamates & soon to P1 classmates or schmates too. Chervon, another gal, was Lionel's ex classmate for N1 & N2, thereafter , she was transferred to another CC but is still his classmate for their Wushu sessions.
So @ YPS, we have 6 of them all together.
Other than this, we have Vernie & Simin going to AIPS. These 2 schools are just next to each other, so Lionel was telling me they can all go to sch together & come back together. Now, this gal, Vernie has a very big impact on Lionel for she is his new found galfren. Muahahahaha...
Kids at this age shdnt even be talking abt relationships but we are nt gg to be so rigid abt it. Its all a passing phrase & just for the fun.
Below is a conversation we had:
us ( daddy & mummy): how do u know if AIPS has the same session as YPS for P1?
lionel: nvr mind lah, if AIPS is having the am session, then Vernie & Simin can meet us in the evening
us: why evening?
lionel: so that we can take the SSC bus to SSC for dinner & shopping. (the 'we' here referring to all 8 of them)
us: what?!! * roll eyes *

A Smurfy Night
10 Sep 2011 (Sat):
" Lalalalalala-Lalalalala... "
8 of us decided to watch "Smurfs" at the cinema. In fact, arrangements has been made earlier to watch the afternoon show & catch up with the mooncake festival celebration in the evening at our neigbourhood open field. However, we decided to watch the 2050hrs show instead.
"Smurfs" - all the ever familiar names such as Papa Smurf, Smurfette, Brainy Smurf, Clumpsy Smurf, Grumpy Smurf, Vanity Smurf, etc... And not forgetting the bad guy, Gargamel & his cat, Adrizel.
This is all together a very heart-warming & hilarious movie. 5 thumbs up!... i wldnt mind watching a 2nd time.
********************************
11 Sep 2011 (Sun):
Instead of making a trip down Chinatown to relieve the mooncake festival celebrations, Daddy. myself & the 2 kids made a trip across the causeway again, hoping to find a product which daddy's client wants to have. But was told we cld only find those in electrical shops. Not knowing JB that well, we gave up searching & went for dinner & shopping instead. We even send our car for a wash...
There was a major jam at JB customs upon returning & Daddy said due to 911 anniversary, security were tight & checks were done thoroughly. What do u think?
Oh! We were 'knocked' gently behind by another fellow Singaporean who claim his hand brake wasnt working well when were stuck in the jam, moving inch by inch ever so slowly. No damage done. The driver apologised & we were on our way again. Daddy jokingly asked if he (the driver) fell asleep & stepped on the accelerator accidentally. Both drivers gave each other a pat on the shoulder. All well ends well. :)

Moon Cake Festival
05 Sep 2011 (Mon):
The below certificate was awarded to Rachel for participating in the Lantern Design Competition.
I didnt expected there was such an award. The kids told us sometime back in August abt this lantern making & that they were to bring it to school soon. That was the only info given, so we thought its another craft set by the school. Never did we expect it to be a competition, just like the National Day T-shirt Design. There were no forms to inform us on this competition.
Daddy brought the tools & material needed to do this lantern but we did not expect it has to be handed in on the 05 Sep. Duh... so we gt no choice but to dig out old lanterns. The kids told us there wld be a celebration in school.
But according to Ah Ma, becos the lantern's light up & music did not work, Lionel did not want to bring it to sch. So when Ah Gong saw the lanterns A & V brought, he immediately craft 2 out of beer cans.
Nope, Lionel didnt want that; only Rachel happily brought it to sch. So the certificate was only awarded to Rachel, not Lionel, in case you are wondering why Lionel did not gt any certificate.

Lionel's reply " That's the way!!! "
