I am at the 2nd Level not really near to the stage but is ok I still dance and sing and participate in the event. Is such a wonderful show 8)

TOo Imaginative

We just removed meimei's cot and put a single bed next to my parents bed so that all of us can sleep together. I was on my new bed, I told mommy I am in the "space ship" and while taking off, mommy wave me goodbye. I used my blanket to cover myself and after awhile mommy heard that I am crying under my blanket she asked me why...

I told her I am scare as I go to the moon and there are aliens '_' "

Throwing Chicken

We are watching 10pm news, mommy pointing at a scene and told me about bird flu and chicken are inedible as they are sick. Then the next scene are people striking...

After watching I question her.

Why they throwing chicken?

(Both my parents are speechless...)

Jurong Bird Park

This is the 2nd week Daddy driving his car and he brought us to Jurong Bird Park... Yes is a 30km journey and Daddy make it there without getting lost, good job 8)

I am very excited when I reach Bird Park, 1st I saw a group of Duck and Swan... Then I wanted to visit the Penguin but mommy say we will visit them last as since is air conditioned. We shall do some other thing 1st, I am not very happy about it and I keep nagging mommy that I want to see Penguin Penguin Penguin, so we ended our Bird Viewing after we visit the man make water fall... We headed back to the entrance to see my dear Penguin and I say bye bye to Bird Park after seeing Owls which is next to the exit.

Oh I heard from my daddy we will not come here again since I gets to see Penguin in Zoo too and it is more interesting there.

Outragous

We are praising him while he is doing his work sheet...

Some of the words from us...

Excellent
Well Done

As the worksheet is designed for 4yr and up, I show him an example on 1 of the exercise and he comments...

Mildred's Birthday Party

Is my classmate, Mildred's Birthday, I choose a present for her, is a whistle with Hello Kitty print I hope she will like it. We choose a doll for her too. She look like a princess in her party and enjoy playing games, ordering my food and eating fries all by myself.

A good deed

I didn't go out today as daddy is sick, so mommy let me play bubbles @ the corridor... While playing I found a little creature on the wall, I asked mommy to come and take a look. It was a grasshopper, it hop here and there. Mommy wanted to show it to me so she used a transparent container to trap it so that I can see it clearly. After viewing for a few second, she wander how come this little creature will fly all the way here. So we decided to do something good, bring Mr Grasshopper back home. After saying good bye to Mr Grasshopper mommy release it out of the container. I told mommy it is going to look for his mommy.

(Side Track: Mommy stay in a Kanpong when she is a young girl, so she gets to see lot of insects and she is good in catching them too. Some of her pets are butterflies, grasshoppers and spiders. She even catch fish in the "Long gao - Big Drain" and gets bite by little creatures while fishing. She enjoy her childhood very much and she hope that I enjoy mine too 8) She realise tadpoles turn into frog when she caught one in the pond and she tot that is another kind of fish until it have legs and jump out of her collection.)

Sport Day

This is my 1st Sport Day and I participate in 2 events, both of them I did well my parents are proud of me 8)

Chinese

Mommy's words...

Today he brought back his Chinese Worksheet that he did in school. Daddy ask me to test him on those words, initially I tot he might say out the words by looking at the pictures but I am wrong since daddy say with confident I cover the pic and ask him on those words he can tell me all of them correctly. There are 猪, 牛，羊，鸡，鸭， 马...

Yes, I am so proud of my dear son 8)

Sport Day

Is so fun... ( Mommy no time upload those foto so give you a smile 1st)

Phonics Update

An exercise he did while I am busy doing some other things, I pass him the printed pictures and ask him to cut, match and paste on the right columns. He did about 97% correct.

Can you spot the error?

Yes he paste PIANO at the Q column and insist the quilt is pillow... So I think he only make 1 mistake as he mistaken q as p. But he insist that picture is a pillow and it don't look like a quilt to me too so I let him paste on the place he think is right.

Halloween Fever!

Foto taken 1 wk before Halloween... So happy hor who know 1 wk later I will get sick right 8(

Yes, I got fever during halloween, so can't go school 8( and no surprise for me too 8( No more nite safari, No more trick or threating which I plan to bring to school 8(

Halloween Craze

I am looking forwards to Halloween, my parents wander where I know this from, I ask mommy trick or treating and she don't understand what I want, I told her about goose, that make her more confuses.

Daddy explain to her that is all about halloween, and goose is actualy ghosts. I learnt those from Little Einstein... Now any show related to it I will sit quietly to watch. Luckily those are all @ Disney Channel so is not so scary after all.

They are planning something on the actual day see more on 31st Oct 8)

Morning walk @ Punggol Park

We took a walk @ Punggol Park after our bf, I had lot of fun @ the play ground then we continue walking along the path near the pond. Today I saw a few birds, they were Wood Pecker, Eagle and Grey Heron.

Mommy told me Wood Pecker is doctor of the tree it help to cure the sickness of the tree by eating the worms in it, I saw 2 of them and they're busy flying from 1 tree to another.

Then we saw a bird flying in a circular motion, Daddy say that is a eagle (mommy say is a segul, daddy ask me not to listen to her).

Just when we about to leave the place we saw a big bird, when Daddy ask me what is that, I say "JI" without much hesitate -.-" Actually both my parents also don't know what is it, then they realise that the bird is called Grey Heron from the notice board.

I learnt that different kinds of birds eat different kinds of food, some eat worms, some eat rats and some eat fishes.

What a fruitful trip 8)

My friends @ Act3

Left over by F1

Dinner @ the Fountain

We are here again, as we love their wafer and Crepe.

Seven Points of the Montessori System

1. Each child works at his own pace. Hence the quick child is not held back by the slow; nor is the latter, in trying to keep up with the former, obliged to flounder along helplessly out of his depth. Each stone in the mental edifice is well laid before the next is added.
2. Since the child works from his own free choice, without competition or coercion, he is freed from danger of over strain, feelings of inferiority, or other experiences which are apt to be the unconscious cause of profound mental disturbances in later life.
3. It has proved itself of universal application. Within a single generation, it has been tried with complete success with children of almost every civilized nation. Race, color, climate, nationality, social rank, type of civilization--all these make no difference to its successful application.
4. The Montessori method develops the whole personality of the child, not merely his intellectual function, but also his powers of deliberation, initiative, and independent choice, with their emotional compliments. By living as a free member of a real social community, the child is trained in those fundamental social qualities which form the basis of good citizenship.
5. The Montessori system encourages self-discipline, self-knowledge, and independence, as well as enthusiasm for learning, an organized approach to problem-solving, and academic skills.
6. Most children appear to adjust readily to new situations when they go from Montessori to traditional classroom environments. In all likelihood this is because they have developed self-discipline and independence in the Montessori environment.
7. In a Montessori class, a child is not pushed to intellectual accomplishment. He is given the keys to exploration through sensorial material, which is an aid to classifying and organizing the impressions his mind already holds. Intellectual exploration forms the backbone and structure of all the creative work in a Montessori classroom. Voluntary repetition of an exercise by a child without suggestion or command is a phenomena common in Montessori classrooms throughout the world. To repeat is to acquire understanding, to demonstrate concentration, to work toward perfection.

So she is Elyn

My mommy keep calling Ms Lily, and she just notice that her name is Ms Elyn... What a nice name and a nice teacher.

A Morning @ Pasir Ris Park

Initially I choose a pair of tiger slipper but no size 8( They wanted me to try Ben 10 but I don't really like so I choose this, isn't it look nice on me 8) It got lights some more. So cool!!! I happily wearing them home and told mommy I am going to wear it to school next day.

妈妈的回忆录 - Kindergarten

Mommy studied @ a PAP Kindergarten when she was a young girl... During the period of time she always felt unbalance why the students in the other room always having art lesson another batch of students always having outdoor games. After all these years of thinking she finally realise that there should be more then 3 classes in her school. Now she is wandering how many classes did the school have.

GP

Yes I am sick again... And they down grade me leh, no more PD Dr Allyson, now I go GP Dr Yeo... My parents will be taking up his medical package if the medicine that he subscribe help me to release from the cough within a wk. I am 15kg, just a few weeks I am 2kg heavier 8) My parents are very please with that.

No Cry finally!

I am so scare of going to Act 3 recently, and everytime I will tell my parents I don't want to attend Ms Juriah Classes. Mommy and Daddy were sad but they ask me to help Ms Juriah to console those crying babies like me too, but I still scare leh. Today Ms Lily saw me she know that I am unhappy, she comfort me and actually I am willing to join her without my parents but she is teacher of 4 to 5yrs old class so I can't join her, I am so sad. After awhile she come back with a balloon and she ask mommy to look after the balloon and I can come back with it after the class, she also assuring me Ms Juriah class will going to be fun, and she told me they are friends too, then came a little girl and she told mommy I am her friend. Mommy was please to know that I make friend in the class already. So I go bravely with Ms Juriah and the little girl to the room without crying. I come out happily 1hr later and Ms Juriah told me I am doing great this time. See I am brave boy now.

Children's Day

This post is a bit out dated, as mommy only get to upload those foto today...

Having Fun in the playground @ Bishan after breakfast.

The facilities are challenging for all of us.
This is the most scary slide I ever tired, all of us climb up and refuse to slide down when we are up there, as the slide is so narrow but after some help from mommy I am brave enough to do it all alone, is so exciting. I have great achievement to conquer it.Our Children's Day present from Gu Ma, is my 1st gun, daddy say the Japanese recorded sound is cool, it say " NO BULLET TOR". It can convert into 2 actually.

As you grow smaller I will grow bigger...

Today I have a converstaion with nanny and uncle papa. I told them when they become old and can't go to work, I will make money and buy nanny Roti Prata, hey that's my favourite dish hor, and I will buy uncle papa "卤鸭饭" too. While on the way home, my mom ask me what I am going to buy for her, I told her I will buy roti prata for her too but I have no money now so she got to pay for herself. Wait when Rayen and me grow bigger and bigger and she and daddy grow smaller and smaller I will pay for her.

Choose an English book...

Mommy bought a few chinese books for me today, as I have a love on Giant recently, one of them I choose is "Jack and the Beanstalk". I love the book so much that I ask her to read it before my bedtime, she read twice for me and I requested her to read 1 more book for me. This time she ask me to choose a book written in English and I chosen "Good Nite Gorilla". (Those who read it before will know why my dad laugh when I took out the book to show mommy.)

Bento Update

Mommy say:-

Just when he start to love food, he start to request for what he wants too... He told me " Mommy I don't want the pooh bear bread, I want the rectangle one..." So all my investment all down into the drain. Guess what he can finish a bread without trimming the edge in mintue. So I should be happy as I don't need to wake up early to prepare shaped food for him since he is happy with his rectangle shaped bread with nutella, his new found favourite 8)

Hungry Hungry I am Hungry!!!

Just 1 wk after my recovery, I keep feeling hungry... Asking for food every hour. My parents are still adapting to the changes. They don't use to me asking for food so often, but they are happy with the changes 8) See My foto taken in Aston, I ordered a fish meal with 2 side dish and I still karpo daddy's fries. Btw we are happy with the dinner which are cheap and delicious, they are famous for their steak but we feel that their fish with herbs and charcoal grill chicken is fantastic.

Act3 Solo

I miss 2 lessons this term, so today is my 1st lesson, mommy say that I am a big boy so got to attend the lesson alone, I told her I will be brave before entering the classroom. I regretted immediately after I am inside the room, as most of my classmates start crying so I told mommy I am not brave and hope that she can stay with me. She rejected my request and told me she will be waiting for me just outside the door, hope that I can listen and stay with my new teacher Miss Julian.

Julian told Mommy that I am overall a good boy, I start crying for a little just before the lesson start and then join in the singing and dancing after that.

A little conversation after my lesson :
Mommy :- Justen how you feel about the lesson with Miss Julian?
Justen :- Mommy I am happy and sad...
Mommy :- Oh you got mix feeling? Why are you sad?
Justen :- Miss Lily is not in the class.
Mommy :- Miss Lily is with a younger batch of students and Justen is older now so you got to move on to join an older group of friends.
Justen :- Yes Justen growing bigger and bigger 8) Mommy Justen is hungry! (Pass him his bento that I prepare for him in case he ask for food after the class and he finish everything within a short while)

Another Conversation

We are in a lift going down from LRT station.

Mommy : Justen thanks for your help for pressing the down button for mommy.

Justen : Mommy no, I am helping everyobody in the lift.

Mommy : Ok, that's very kind of you thank you...

Justen : Why not everybody thanks for my help?

Mommy : Mommy is helping everyone to thank you.

Angry with Mommy

Mommy say :-

He didn't smile to me as usual when we fetch him. He didn't want to eat waffle that I offer, he don't look happy when we brought him to the playground... He is okie to play with other people but refuse to even look at me when I call him. He didn't want to join me to get something from our coffee shop in the evening. He totally angry with me but what have I done wrong? 8(

So I request him to go downstair just 2 of us, then I ask him is he angry with me due to the bad hair cut... He told me he want to have Daddy's hair style, he is not happy with his new look. I comforted him and assure that will bring him for a hair cut immediately. Miss his smile you know. He give me a happy look after my confirmation, I let him choose the salon that he want to go he choose the salon and refuse to walk into the barber shop. He even choose the hair stylist that he prefer. After the pretty Jie Jie trim his hair he finally smile so sweetly to me and tell me he is more handsome than daddy.

Aiyo we never know the appearance to a 3yr old boy is so important leh... Think my boy really growth up liao.

Stomach Flu

It started on 15th Sept after I am back from Genting... 1st is LS and many times of LSs but I am still energentic. On 19th Sept Mommy realise that I lost so much weight and I start to refuse food, any kind of food not even my favourite waffle, I only want to sleep... This is not my usual self. As although I am sick I can still be very alert. Mommy was worry when I request to go to bed after awake on Saturday morning. Normally taking nap is by force and now I requested it. Then I vomit once after my lunch and 2nd vomit on the next monday... They still monitoring my condition... Hopefully I am recovered and can eat more and gain back more weight.
