Tadika Brainchild 3&4 Years Reading Corner

The reading corner is part of the Tadika Brainchild morning circle time programme.

Circle time is when all the children sit in a circle, tell stories, share something, sing songs, and enjoy being a group. It is a good idea to have a planned circle time when coordinating many children, and the most suitable activities to do, i guess.

The children will ask to take their own chair and place it in a line, and choose their own story book from the book shelf, sit down and read their favourite book. Normally, 3 year and 4 year children would get to group together.

Issac is starting to learn all these endless activities!

Mid Autumn Festival Dinner

Sometimes it does not works as you planned…

Today is the mid autumn festival or moon cake festival. Brother Andrew’s family and us were having dinner together after Ying Ying tuition class. We had it at Jinjang. It is a street that full of seafood restaurant. Belle is wearing the new dress which daddy bought her. She looks older wearing her new dress.

The dinner is at 8:30 pm. We left our house earlier, about 6:00 pm because both children knew that we are going out. We arrived around 7:00 pm and have our tea at Mamak stall. We had waited in the car almost a hour. Issac was so tired and fall asleep in the car. Belle just climbed up and down at the car seats, as she had enough afternoon nap during Issac was practise at Chee Wen Primary School. Nothing to do, thus Mummy took out the camera and started to take Belle's photos. She was so 'clever', keep on posing in front of the camera.

This afternoon Mummy had sent him to Chee Wen Primary School for his concert rehearsal from 1:00 pm to 4:30 pm. And, parents do not allow to stay back to watch the rehearsal as that will affect the children psychologically. Mummy just dropped Issac at the appointed side stage room for teachers to bring them in for pratice. Mummy and Daddy were to wait at the front assembly hall at the main entrance to pick him back. We couldn’t stand but just sneaked in the hall and look for him. The hall is equipped with air-conditioners. Much more better than Mummy thought.

Both were happy seeing and eating their dinner, but not for long, then both started to play with the ice cubes, plates, rice, almost anything just for fun! Anyway, dinner ended around 10:30 pm and we reached home after settled everything is around 12:00 midnight already. What a exhausted night…

Annabelle 2 Years Old! 1 Oct 2009

This is the first birthday that daddy and mummy celebrate with Belle with at least a birthday cake.

Last year, it was so happened that during Belle birthday was our Kuantan Trip with daddy’s friends. Thus, we did not celebrate it with cake and thoughtful party. Mummy felt so sad on that because during Belle’s full moon as well, we did not make a celebration party for her, then her first year old birthday too.

We had booked a birthday cake from Bee’s last week. A tuity fruity cake, miniature one. Mummy had took the cake last night earlier, but both of you slept earlier. Daddy came back late last night, brought back two transformer toys (from Uncle Ah Lun), and 3 pieces new cloths for Belle as her birthday presents.

We celebrate Belle’s day early in the morning. Blowing candles and eat the cake as our breakfast. Then, only send Issac to Tadika Brainchild and Belle to Fernie’s place.

She was so happy with her bowl and cake. She loves to eat, and eat a lot. Ever since after she started to learn hold her own folk and spoon, she does not like mummy spoon feed her already.

Getting older? She knows what she wants. Belle has a character totally different with her brother, Issac. Bad temper too…But, clever too. Mummy wish is to see her keep on growing and healthy.

A Day Out at Kuching Waterfront 8 Jun 2009

It was the same day that we visited Shang Ti Temple.

Actually, it was the day that four of us went to the cinema and watch a movie in Kuching. I can’t recall what movie is it already. It seems to be our ‘traditions’ already, watch a movie once a year and it will be at Kuching. Reason being, it is the only time that we have time together, relaxing watching and enjoying the movie; other reason, also not so much crowds because it will be always a working day and less infections for both babies. Normally, we will take a stroll at the waterfront before we go in to the cinema.

The Waterfront has of course undergone several transformations since the 19th century - from a small settlement with a few atop buildings, to a busy port with warehouses and wharves, to the landscaped riverside walk it is today. The Waterfront is now also home to modern sculpture, an open-air theatre and a musical fountain. The ferries and sampans park along the river.

In days gone by the river was the city's main highway. The river still retains its importance and picturesque charm in the modern era. Present day life is still concentrated on the waterfront. The new building which will caught your eyes will be the new Dewan Undangan Negeri which just completed last year.

From Kuching's humble, ancient origins, to its status as a modern city. No visit to Kuching would be complete without a stroll on the modern esplanade, or to sit, relax and experience a Sarawakian sunset.
