Merdeka Celebration

Previously there was a Merdeka Celebration in school. I didn't dress up in any traditional costume :(

I'm not sure why I'm standing amongst the girls

We were all supposed to shout "MERDEKA!!!!!"

Happy Halloween!

There is a Halloween party in my kindergarden today. Mami was not keen to spend money in buying any Halloween costume. She decided to dress me in a black t-shirt and orange shorts for the occasion. She also gave me a nice Halloween stick which can spin in the inside with bright colours when you press a button. It's really nice and colourful.

Swiss Kinderjoy

Dadi bought us Kinderjoy from Geneva. It's a Christmas edition and it really taste good. It looks like an Easter Egg and best of all, it has a round cap with a toy. The toy is coated with chocolate all around. Yum Yum. Wish I could have more....

Special Christmas Edition of Kinderjoy

Looks like an Easter Egg. Chocolate all around :)

A toy in the yellow shuttle.

Have to be careful not to bite the yellow shuttle while eating the chocolate.

We had 6 Kinderjoys in total. We only ate one each day, not to worry. The toys were different from the ones you get locally. There were Christmas Santa, Christmas Penguin, Rhinoceros, a Top, an Aeroplane and a cute small Paint Brush with some colouring fun!

Thank you Dadi. Benjamin Kor Kor and I really love the Kinderjoys.

Parents-Teacher Meeting at Tadika Suria Cerah

Dadi and Mami went for the Parents-Teacher Meeting at Tadika Suria Cerah yesterday morning. While Dadi and Mami met my teacher, Benjamin Kor Kor and I were doing some potatoes painting.

Teacher Leeza informed Dadi and Mami that I have improved emotionally. I am most willing to do the work given by my teacher now and I do participate actively in classes. I am able to read well, considering that I am only 3 years old, and am attending a 4 years old class. In fact, Teacher Leeza mentioned that I can read better than some 4 years old. I am a bright student and is able to join the 5 years old class next year.

Dadi and Mami are proud of me.

I slept in my own room

I successfully slept in my own room yesterday. I did wake up at 3:00 a.m. to look for Mami in her room. I told her I was afraid to sleep in the other room. She was too tired and did not "layan" me. Dadi then had to bring me to the toilet to shee-shee and walked me to my room. I slept straight away as I was really tired.

Dadi and Mami were very proud of me. I wonder if there is a reward from them?

A signage for my room

Mami wants to force me to sleep with Benjamin Kor Kor in his room. So, Mami placed a signage on the door with my name on it. Do you think Mami will succeed this time?

I've got a new pet elephant

Hooray! I've got a new pet elephant. My Dadi brought it back from Geneva. Dadi received it from someone from Thailand.

I dislike studying

Mami is really worried for me. Though I have not turned 4 years old of age, but she is worried that I will not have the discipline to study. Whenever Kor Kor is studying in the room, I would also go to the room. But I'll only be there for about 15 minutes. I would volunteer to do some colouring. Once I've completed my colouring, I'll receive a sticker for my colouring book and........ there I go! Yey..... Mission completed!!!!! I'll rush off before Mami takes an English book or a Maths book for me to do.

Thomas & Friends Train Set

I am very fortunate to inherit many Thomas & Friends trains from my Benjamin Kor Kor. Over the years, many people had blessed Kor Kor and I with Thomas trains. We have received Thomas trains as presents from Ah Mah, Mah Mah & Yeh Yeh, Mami and Mami's friends.

Come see my tracks and trains.

Benjamin Kor Kor and I playing our trains.

Benjamin Kor Kor and I like to use our legs to form a tunnel

for our trains to pass through

This is my favourite destination....

My own way to play the Piano

This is my way of playing the Piano with the song "Mary had a little lamb".

What I enjoy the most....

I love Mami to cuddle me, and smell my hair. I love to ask her if my hair smells good. Mami would "sniff sniff" and reply "it smells very nice" and I'll give her a sweet, adorable smile :)

Every night, Mami would always comb my hair with her hands when I am drinking my bottle of milk (yes, I am still drinking for a milk bottle) or when I've fallen asleep. I know Mami still treats me like her little baby. It is nice being treated that way too. That is why I am so attached to Mami.

Last night, Benjamin Kor Kor and I couldn't sleep. It was way pass 10:30 p.m. and we were still moving around on bed. Mami said that she would sing us a good night song. She sang this song of blessings to us....

May blessings be upon you, precious babies

May blessings be upon our family

May your future be

A holy legacy

May blessings be upon you, precious babies

May He bless you in your going

May He bless you in your coming

May your hearts be ever knowing

The blessings of the Lord

May blessings be upon your children's children

May blessings be upon our family

May your future be

A holy legacy

May blessings be upon you, precious babies

I slept well after hearing this song a few rounds :)

Which kindergarden will I go to....

Mami was previously thinking hard as to which kindergarden to enrol me for Year 2012. I am currently in a kindergarden which is more "montessori" like. There are lesser students to one teacher, more learning through play and certainly less homework. There are days when I do not have homework. No exams given :)

Mami was contemplating to enrol me to Benjamin Kor Kor's current kindergarden which is a traditional exam-oriented Chinese kindergarden. The syllabus is much tougher, more competitive and it prepares the child well for Primary One.

Given a choice, I would prefer to stay in my current kindergarden. Looking at the amount of homework Kor Kor does daily is terrifying to me. I dislike homework very much. In fact, I dislike studying. I can read well, but I am too lazy to practice writing. Few months back, Mami had enrolled me to Enopi Maths to join my Kor Kor, and I dropped out after 2 months. I refuse to go. Mami gave in to my request because she felt that maybe I'm just not ready. After all, I am only 3 years old.

I am glad that Mami had decided for me to continue learning at my current kindergarden. I know that Mami is worried for me.... worried if I will ever be serious with my studies. I am just so different from my Kor Kor. Well, Mami just have to trust that God will prepare me :)

Lego Duplo

Sometimes I like to play Lego Duplo with my Kor Kor, Benjamin. I am fortunate that I have alot of Lego Duplo. There are 3 sets of Lego Duplo. 2 sets of Lego were given by my Ah Ku and Ah Kim. One Animal Set was given to Benjamin Kor Kor during his 1st birthday and another Penguin Set was given to me for my 1st birthday. The last Numbers set was bought by my Mami for me as a reward for being a very very very good boy. But I can't seem to remember why I was good on that day.

Come see my little creation from my Lego Set.

My creation.... My animal kingdom

Not sure why Mami took the photo from the back view.....

My School Trip to Kids Theatre: The Selfish Crocodile

I went for a School Trip at the Gardner & Wife Kids Theatre, featuring The Selfish Crocodile. It was at Jaya One. It was nice, but I was a little afraid at some scenes especially when the Crocodile went on stage. Here are some photos....

All that went together....

Couldn't capture the pictures during the show to post here. Sorry.

1st JMC Primary One class

Yesterday was my first Junior Music Course at Yamaha Music School. It was quite fun. There are about 10 other children with their respective parents with them. We sang some songs, clapped and did certain hand movements with Mami/Dadi. Can't wait for the next class next week. Teacher said we will be able to play the Electone next week. Yey....

I love to play the piano

I love to play the piano. I am all excited because tomorrow is my first music class at Yamaha Music Centre.

See me playing the piano of my own song.

Angry bird colouring book

Mami bought for Ben Ben Kor Kor and I an Angry Bird colouring book each. I know the game of Angry Bird but I am not particularly crazy over Angry Bird things. So is my Koko.

Anyway, last weekend, we spend some time colouring Angry Bird pictures.

This is the colouring book Mami bought from the Morning Market

Ben Ben Kor Kor colouring his picture. See the nice patterns he drew on the Angry Bird face

This is me colouring the Angry Bird picture. I'm working hard to finish faster than my Ben Ben Kor Kor.
