Moral of the Story:

Never underestimate your Child!!!

PlayChinese by Creative

We are truly living in a digital age.

Every kids I know could operate the iphone or the ipad effectively,

without much supervision.

We were somehow skeptical about giving our our kids such state of the art gadget.

I've personally witness how disconnected kids can be

when they are addicted to devices like that.

 But, when I came across PlayChinese by Creative 

I was totally sold upon the idea of getting a tablet device for the kids.

The kids would be the best social proof of this product.
Check out the videos below.

Hiroshi Lovin his New "ipad"

Sophia amused with the new gadget.

It just keep getting better and better......

Oh well for this week, 

to say that God is good is really an understatement!

He has been 

GREAT!

Don't you just love it when you keep recieving good news all week.

I swear I couldn't stop grinning from ear to ear!

We won "surfing dyslexia" contest 

organized by

Thank you God.

Thank you for hearing a desperate mother's plead.

I swear this IS the BEST news for the week!

Hiroshi has found himself a school
and no stressful balloting is required!

Like in my earlier posting,
I said that the number of applicants exceeded the number of seats available
by 3 applicants.
85 applicants vs 82 seats.
So I expected the school to proceed on with balloting.
But however, then number of pupils
staying within 1km or between 1-2km is 准准 82.
So the rest that are outside 2km is rejected.

 

I am sure Hiroshi would be equally as excited 

to know that he has gotten into Horizon Primary School,

since several of his best buddies would also be attending the same school.

Thank you God.

Thank You.

Thank You.

Thank You.

Learning Thru Fun.....

I used to tear my hair apart when teaching Hiroshi spelling.

I am sure many other parents are equally flabbergast, 

since we are not professional educators.

I've just realised that learning thru play is the best way to learn.

Conventional write and write and write doesn't seems to get into him.

When we play little word games like the one shown in the video,

he seems to be able to grasp the word instantly.

He has his spelling test to proof his results.
*beaming proudly*

I am glad to say that I no longer have to scream at Hiroshi to get his spelling done.

He would gladly come to me since spelling time is also game time!

We are finally looking forward to our next spelling test!

Love My Current Hair Style & Hair Color......

I love just about everything regarding my latest haircut.
Fabulous Color & Great Cut!

And best of all,
It's inexpensive!

This offer is only valid for those
who has the guts to travel up to our neighboring cowboy town.
This is definitely a hair salon that you might want to bookmark on your GPS.

DISCLAIMER: Hair Cut is done by Students
Not too sure if you are brave enough
to leave you hair at the mercy of these newbie stylist.
But, from my countless personal experience,
I've always left the salon as a happy customer.

We are confirm going through another round of balloting.....

Now the only difference is that,

this one has a slightly better odds than the previous one!

Balloting would be done on

16 Aug 2011 @ 9.30am

OH GOD,

I have gone past the stage of praying....

Now I am BEGGING you!

I really need to get Hiroshi into this school.

*AMEN*

Here we go again.....

Just registered Hiroshi again for Phase 2C Supplementary
at Horizon Primary School.

We are honestly keeping our fingers crossed for this one. 

Hugely Disappointed about Balloting Results.....

I can't tell you how disappointed we are right now.

We didn't manage to get Hiroshi into our school of choice through balloting.

Now it is down to Phrase 2C supplementary.

Everything happens for a reason.

For now, 

I can only put my faith in God 

that he has better plans for Hiroshi.

Hiroshi's Primary One Registration

Back Posting:  26th August 2011

Well, we've reached another milestone in Hiroshi's life!

Primary One Registration.

The start of formal education for many many long years to come.

For those who are still oblivious,

I HATE 

Singapore's Primary One Registration System.

I know I've shared this on facebook before,

but I am just going to vent my anger here just one more time!

There are many "phrase" to register your child.

Phrase 1: child who has sibling studying in school of choice

Phrase 2A(1): (a) for child Whose parents is a former student of school and who has joined the alumni association as a member not later than 30 June 2010
(b) child whose parent is a staff member for the school of choice

Phrase 2A(2): (a) child who's parent or siblings has studied in school of choice

‎(b) child whose parent is a staff member of school of choice

 Phrase 2B: (a) child who's parent has joined the school as parent volunteer not later than 1July 2010 and has given 40 hours of voluntary services to the school by 30 June 2011
(b) child whose parents is a member endorsed by the church/clan directly connected with the school
(c) child whose parent is endorsed as an active community leader

Phrase 2C: child who is ineligible or unsuccessful in earlier phrases
(WE ARE IN THIS PHRASE!!!! 

Felt like picking leftover vegetables in the late afternoon market!)

Phrase 2C Supplementary: child who fails to get place in school of choice for phrase 2C

 Phrase 3: For children who are not singapore citizen pr singapore PRs

And since I choose to register online,

I don't have any juicy pictures to share here.

 Till date,

the school I registered Hiroshi for has

157 applicants for 82 seats.

Balloting would be held on 5th August 2011,

9.30am @ Mee Toh School

I do need lots of luck right now!!!

Appreciate it if everyone can pass me their luck for the time being!!!

*keeping fingers crossed*

*drumrolls* Disney Junior Premiers TODAY!!! 11 July 2011

The moment that we've all been waiting for is finally here!!!!

Disney Junior premiers Today!!!!

11 July 2011

Many thanks to Joanne from The T\Junction for exclusive invitations 

to Disney Junior "Ahoy to Never Land"

I honestly thought the the venue was perfect for a pirate themed party!

Sapphire Pavilion @ Siloso Beach Sentosa Island

Truly, where the magic begins

Now that we've found our pirate,

Let's go get the treasure!!!

Intensively looking for treasures on the treasure map.

It ain't an easy task becoming a pirate.

Look at all the skills required from all 4 stations.....

Hiroshi in a real life world world game!

(wordworld happens to be one of his favorite shows)

AWESOME!!!

Sophia who was fully confident about walking out of the maze.

*Meeska Mooska Micky Mouse*

Sophia leaving her hand print proclaiming,

"Disney Junior RAWKS!!!"

We even got up close and personal with

Micky Mouse & Minnie Mouse!

Refreshment was served at Wavehouse

I cannot remember verbally giving such a bad ratings on this blog.

Honestly,

I was not impressed with either service or food.

But however,

Sophia fell madly in love with the eclairs....

Both kids mad about Disney Junior!

We even had time to laze around on the beautiful beach.

The Typical Beach Bum.

Hiroshi ran straight for the sea!

Sophia looking for treasures of a different kind; seashells.

Now both my kids are certified to be infected by

"Jake and the Never Land Pirate" bug.

Remember to catch Disney Junior Today,
11 July 2011,
on Starhub Cable Tv Channel 311.

Independence; Never Underestimate your Child.....

“Tell me and I forget. Teach me and I remember. Involve me and I learn.”

~Benjamin Franklin

It has come to both our consensus that we shouldn't spoon feed our kids.

we truly believe in allowing the child to explore and experience in safe boundaries.

We sent the kids to buy water in a nearby supermarket on their own.

(with daddy spying closely right behind their butts)

Did they managed to complete the task?!?!?

Watch On.....

*I apologize for the shaky video*

Never Underestimate your Child!

An Unique Birthday Experience; Build-a-Bear Workshop

With all honesty,

in my personal experience,

not many businesses in Singapore

has made the cut

of providing exceptional customer service experience.

However, I am pleasantly surprised during my recent visit
to Build-a-Bear Workshop at Vivo City.

Sophia helped stuff Pup


Sophia & Hiroshi "hearts" for Pup


Warming Pup's heart.....


Making a sincere wish....


Kissing Pup's heart....


Giving "life" to Pup


Wash & Rinse
before you follow me home.....


Let's play dress up.....


Finally, a satisfied Pup owner.....


I pledge to take good care of Pup.


You might look through these series of pictures and think
what on earth is so exceptional about the customer service?

Well, the magic lies in connecting with the child.
I swear kids are the toughest customers on earth.
Delicate Patience is Needed.

And through many small talks,
they realized that it was Sophia's birthday
and sang her a very special birthday song.


Thank you Build-a-Bear Workshop,
You have made Sophia's birthday a really Special one!!!

And because Hiroshi has always been the loving brother,
he get to choose a toy for himself too!
Storm Pegasus; Let It Rip!

Disney Junior; The best story teller of all time......

Many thanks to Georgina from The T\Junction
for Invitation to Special Presentation of Disney Junior.

Well, other than Ronald Dhal,
Disney has got to be the best story teller of all time.

Some parents take a no tv stance to their parenting approach.
I personally feel that tv is not the biggest evil.

I proudly declare that my kids watch selected tv programs.

And Disney is definitely one of those programs my kids have watched since young.

Playhouse Disney will be re-brand into Disney Junior this coming July!
