After the Sports event at school, we went back to home and children took a bath first due to the sweats.
We had our day out at Summit USJ for the afternoon. Both Issac and Annabelle were enjoying playing the music coins cars at the mall kids play ground.
We love weekend!
How happy I am and how lucky I feel to have you for a daughter
The day I first held you in my arms, you put an eternal hold on my heart... and the passing years have only increased my love for you.
It's so much fun to be with you and share the happenings in your life and I guess that's all I wanted to tell you for now…
Be yourself and Mummy loves you much!
And, it is special as this year too the Sports Day were joined by both brother and sister.
This would marked the second time ever Sports Day for Annabelle too.
The event started with the children marching out from the class rooms to the small little field.
The teachers split the children to 2 groups – older children and younger children.
The older children which are 5 and 6 years old played the games first, while the younger children were sitting under the designated tent to wait for their turn.
After the games, all the children deserved a token of price – the gold medal for the great job they have done!
Next was the younger children turn, as Annabelle started her games too.
She enjoyed the games with her team and friends too! She got a gold medal too!
Daddy was assigned to be the referee for the games for the parents and teachers.
We enjoyed the 3 hours spending in the Tadika Brainchild with the kids today.
It was really a surprise for me as my birthday present is a laptop computer Lenovo ThinkPad. I am so happy for that, I love it very much as it is just fitted with my Prudential’s red color.
Today we decide to go to KL Tower in the town center.
Menara KL Tower is easily Malaysia’s most recognizable and popular landmark.
Constructed in 1994, the tower stands at 421 meters and effortlessly trumps the Petronas Twin Towers with the highest and most spectacular view of the city.
This gleaming tower’s spindle-like apex is visible from almost anywhere in Kuala Lumpur.
Menara KL’s viewing deck is, at 276 meters, at least 100 meters higher than the Petronas Twin Towers’ Sky bridge.
The view is marvelous during the day and even better at night when you can see the entire sparkling city center.
Primarily used as a communications infrastructure, it is the fifth-tallest telecommunications tower in the world.
When it was originally built, the natural surroundings of Bukit Nanas were kept intact to ensure balance in development.
After we arrived at the KL Tower, we bought the tickets to go to the observation deck, we were using lift to reach there.
The observation deck allow you to view the Kuala Lumpur skyline at 276m. At Kuala Lumpur Tower, we actually mean that literally!
There are customer service on top of the observation deck, to guide and help the visitors as they would handed out the audio tour gadgets for the introduction and story of the KL Tower.
Both Issac and Annabelle were so concentrate listening to the narrators.
There is a souvenir shop up there too, selling KL Tower key chains, T-shirts, mugs, and other related merchandize.
After a while, we came down to the ground again and visited other attractions there as well.
At the same time, Whilst sampling on typically yet enriched, mouthwatering and authentic flavors varying from traditional Malay, Chinese, Indian and Peranakan ethnic of well-known dishes of Nasi Lemak, Laksa, Roti Canai to sweet savories with Ice Kacang, Cendol and never miss the The Tarik and many more with the picturesque of KL Tower.
At the bottom of the Tower, is a mini petting zoo. Tourists will enable to experience and witness various exotic creatures such as the Iguana, rabbit, geckos, various type of snakes, birds, etc.
It would made the kids so excited about the animals! Just outside the mini zoo, there are a pony ride.
Both Issac and Annabelle love the pony ride very much. Both were smiling or laughing during their ride. Daddy asked me to have a try on it as well. I was really so afraid that I was going to burden the little pony!
Well, it was a happy birthday celebration with my love ones!
We came here again! This year our Sunday getaway mostly are our 2nd or 3rd visit of the particular places, today as well.
We had been visited Kuala Lumpur Bird Park in the year of 2009 as our first time visit. Thus there are not much photos taken this time.
We personally enjoyed Kuala Lumpur Bird Park very much as it is well-kept with plenty of opportunities to have personal encounters with the birds.
At the Bird Park, one would definitely adorned with nature’s living jewels in a colorful embroidery of peacocks, parrots, birds of prey and affectionate hornbills. It is an enjoyable morning spent!
The Ghost Freak is Annabelle’s and the Grey Matter is Issac’s. And, she is so happy with her own sand art!

Dear Ipeng,
Thank you for your reply and information. In fact, I've enrolled my daughter in April at her age of 3. Is a bit young to enrol her but I've no choice cause no one is able to help me to take care of her. I've enrolled her for day care as well. You are right, sometime I'm really not sure whether I've made a correct decision. After she started 2months with Brainchild, I only see the improvement on her art and speech but not so much on the discipline side and in fact she is worst in term on her behaviour and emotional.
I was wondering why. Whenever, I asked the day care teacher there..they comment she is good and obedient...sigh. Anyway, we are going to have teacher parent meeting day on Sat 11/6 and hopefully I can work out something with teacher.
Based on my observation, I've no doubt on their morning session but ? on their day care service.
I know teacher Joyce and she seems very experience there. My girl is in 3 Love 1 with teacher Victoria.
You are right, I'm in dilemma stage at this moment. Like you said, we should communicate more with the teachers to make things happen. She is my only daughter, probably because of that she glue to us a lot and very demanding. So, we need the professional like teacher to assist us to educate our child.
Once again, thanks for your kind advice and you are such kind & perfect mom. I am a very aggressive mom and get angry easily..lack of patience which I'm learning to be more patience. My daughter got all my bad tempered :-(
Till then, nice chatting with you and I hope to learn more from you to be a good mom.
Thank you
Mrs Kok

Dear Mrs Kok,
Don't worry so much ya. My daughter was the same during her 3 Love 1 with Teacher Victoria. She got my bad tempered too. :-( She can't really speak well and all the teachers hardly understand what she is trying to say. Me as her mum too. Most of the time, i had to check with Issac what his sister was trying to tell me, as both of them 'communicate' a lot and Issac understand her 'baby talk'. And, Teacher Victoria and Teacher Joyce advised us give a lot of encouragements or compliments to her.
I think during my daughter at her 3 years old, she wanted to be listen and treated the same like an adult or like her big brother. She wants to be listened, I guessed. That is why she is manja all the time, and make sure that parents pay the attention to her. I guessed that was the case and even now too. She got her own character compared with her brother. When she insisted, that is the things she wants. Teacher Joyce did tell us that, if we talk to her nicely, explains to her, even though she didn't change her face expressions, but her ears is listening. Sometimes, we would be surprise that she will remember and repeat the same things we said months ago.
Well, this coming Teachers Parents Meeting, we will discuss with both kids teachers and see what is the improvements that we can do. Actually, compared with last year, I can see Issac's improvements on his academic side because he 'click' with his Teacher Law very well, and we did highlight to her last year. Especially the afternoon day care session, the homework revision session.
I try not to emphasis on the academic so much, but emphasis on his enthusiasm to learning. But i do not know how 'far' can i let go.. I am not a good mum too, sometimes my temper just goes off like that. We learn from each other, even from our kids.
Happy Parenting.
