Scott's Birthday

P is a big fan of Scottie since young, mayb they have special chemistry. We were told to come early for the party, little did i know that Ann has organized a animal magic show. We were nt allowed to take photos during the show.

Playground

Playground in shopping center is getting very common now. Recently we were at the the new Changi Point City, the playground is just nicely situated outside the foodcourt. ATM took P out to have some fun, while i order a toast set and nicely seated in the air conditioned indoor and watched them. Life wouldnt be sweeter than this.

P had never try half boiled eggs. Eversince then, she will tell me not to cook her eggs.

Trying to balance herself

Letterland

After some persuation, we decided to get the the Letterland- Alphabet Frieze and the CD since P is always singing the welcome to Letterland song. The Frieze is huge, so P can see clearly. Recently, she has been spending her freetime recognizing her alphabet, before going into her room, she will walk pass the frieze, ATM will ask her an letter. Before bedtime, she will an alphabet on her whiteboard.

Next i will need to put up the numbers on the wall. During my time i dun see my parents being so kan cheong abt this, i didnt even go to kindy. I learnt ABC just weeks before goin to P1.

P and her letterland, i m nt allowed to even touch it.

Bilingual or Trilingual

ATM has been asking if we should expose P to Bahasa Melayu. Personally i m not sure, eventhough i m trilingual educated. Can a person really master 3 languages? After leaving Brunei 15y ago, i stop speaking Bahasa Melayu, even now i m quite rusty, i can understand but spoke with very limited vocab. Now my only practise i have is with the cleaning lady in my office and the cleaning lady and cook in P's cc.

When N was still in cc, P learnt a few malay words from her. The few malay words that she is exposed to is when we talked to my grandma. Being a peranakan myself, i m quite ashame of myself as i dun speak very well in the language. Perhaps watching Suria, TV 2 and TV 3 is a good start.

Then we will start asking, how abt dialects. P is exposed to cantonese since she is watching TVB serials with me. I learnt my cantonese from tv, nt complaining abt it :)

Year end concert 2011

This is P's first ever performance. My dad has been very excited abt it and wanted to join us for the concert but due to work commitment he is nt able to fly over. So we asked ATM's dad if he will be interested to see P perform.

Prior to the performance, i tot she will doin the Mr Sun's dance, since she is always singing that song and dancing to it. During the performance, she has a big ribbon attached to the back like a japanese gal. The 1st performance was a chopstick dance, she did pretty well i must say. While she was dancing, i can see the splitting image of my little sis Y. The second performance was the korean song, P started to b distracted, she was looking ard for us. She saw A n E's mother, she assumed we will be there and she was looking for us. Third performance was some chinese dance. Due to the overwhelming respond, most parents were at the front taking pic of their child performance, i didnt get much shots of P (thanks to my short genes, even standing on the chair i still cant get good pic of P). Thanks to ATM, he had the whole performance recorded. E has been bugging me to sent her the video.

Initially we tot that she will have stage fright like mommy who cant perform on stage. Well i m wrong she did well. In  3y times, we will see her donning on the graduation gown and that potrait will be a new addition next to ours.

No Milk Day

P is a non milk drinker, feeding P milk is like feeding her poison. But when in cc she is ok, even with fresh milk which is double the volume of her milk she is ok. She will come home n tell me she had fresh milk and she finished it. I actually have doubt abt it but the teacher comfirmed that she finished her milk, just need sometimes.

Today at PTC, we were told that starting from next wk, we do not need to bring FM anymore. I know the time will come, but teacher told us tt, they will be feed with milk prepared in cc instead. That is good, she will still be taking her milk. To compensate on the milk intake, we feed her cheese n yogurt for calcium, strong bone and growth. I still have 2 cans of FM, it will take quite awhile to finish.

Where is the tree?

Ever since we moved to our own flat, we have a habit of displaying the Xmas tree. Though we are chinese, we enjoy Xmas more than CNY. Dont ask me why but i just perfer Xmas, i love Xmas carol. P is singing/humming Xmas songs, seems like she knows Xmas is ard the corner.

Just last night, she ask abt the triangle tree, yes it is the Xmas tree. Looks like i might need to take out the tree this wk n start decorating it with P. This year, the extended families will be coming over to celebrate Xmas with us. It is time for me to plan for the menu, dig out the wines and say halo to shopping. :)
