Well Done, Zachary ... ...

Time really flies.... it seems like yesterday when I am still worrying about Zac's first step into his Pri schoool life... ...


Zac just completed his Pri 1 level & really proud of him for scoring full marks for his Chinese & achieve Best in Chinese for Pri 1 level in his school. It was indeed honoured & delightful moment to be able to attend the Prize Presentation in his school today.

Great Job, Zac!!
Mummy hope you continue to achieve greater heights :):)

Zachary turned 7 ... ...

How time flies... ... My elder boy, Zac turned 7 years old yesterday (4 Oct 2010).

I cannot help thinking how much he had grown, feeling really emotional when I look at him now... My little baby whom I nursed since birth is now 7 ;~~~~)

Many days before his birthday, Zac asked for a handmade birthday card from me. Yes, that's just what he ask for, a BIRTHDAY CARD from mummy ;p

He is always by my side so I can only work on the card when he is alseep. hehe...

I chose 2 of his favourite colors which is yellow & orange for the cover & the writing sheet respectively ;p

He did not see me working on the card so he kept reminding me if I have done it days before his birthday & again a day before his birthday. hehe.

I told him I'm "busy" but actually I've completed it days before. LOL :D:D:D:D

Here is the card :



He hinted to me that he would like to have "goodie bags" for his classmates too. This was really challenging for me cos children his age don't really fancy lots of candies & lollipops. As such, I went around sourcing for useful, cute stuff 2 weeks before his birthday for his 28 classmates (excluding Zac) + 2 for his Form Teacher & Chinese Teacher. Total : 30 gifts.


The "goodie" has to be colourful, useful & not too bulky. Zac has to transport the things alone to school so it must be manageable to him too.

Finally, I decided on Disney character photo frames. They were really colourful & his classmates could make use of them & remember Zac (hopefully!! hehehe). I added 2 "Tom & Jerry" toffee & decorated it on the photo frame as though a "ribbon". I spent quite a few days to re-paste the candies cos it kept dropping down ;p


I'm really satisfied with the output & Zac loved it !! :):)

How can a birthday boy not receive any pressies?

From mummy... ...

From daddy, .....something similiar to "Wii" from Sony PS3. Zac loves it & plays even better than anyone of us :):)

Zac also received presents from his classmates, Jean, Tiara & Nikki.

We had meals at his 2 favourite restaurants. He loves Swensen & japanese food.

His ice-cream cake was from swensen. He chose mango & strawberry flavour. Zac is NOT a chocolate lover. Can you see his unhappy face upon receiving the complimentary mini Coit Tower with lotsa chocolate & nuts? Oh no...

We had Swensen Weekend Breakfast a day before his birthday.

Zac had a sumptuous lunch on his birthday. He had a share in all the below food you see. He ate more than me !! LOL :D

Thank you to all my friends & Zac's friends whom had sent in their birthday wishes for him either through sms or FB. Zac is very happy to read all the messages for him ;)

Lastly, the most memorable moment happened at night. Zac lie-down on the bed beside me & he kissed & thanked me for all the efforts & money incurred to make his birthday possible. I was shocked as I never expected it. He has never said that to me for his passed birthday. My little boy has really "matured" & his little gesture really warms my heart :):):)

Teachers act as a role model for the students & inspire them to lead a peaceful & civilized life. Some teachers are remembered even after their retirement because of the extraordinary service to their instituition as well as to the students :)

Happy Teachers' Day to all the teachers out here.

Thank you so much for your dedication & guidance in nurturing the little ones :)

Special thanks to Amos' teacher : Teacher Sarina & Rachel

The boys' first month in new school :)

Amos is attending his nursery this year. This is not the first time he goes to school. He attended playgroups & pre-nursery prior to that. In fact, he started going to school at 20 mths ~:)
There was a bit of crying from him on the first day of school bcos of the early class & he tend to be a bit cranky. He has get used to waking up early now & enjoyed going to his morning class :):)


As for Zac, he began his Primary school journey this year. I was so worried for him on the first day of school. I went to see him during his recess time. He managed to order the food he wanted to eat after a bit of confusion & help from the parent volunteer as well as his Pri 3 buddy. As the days passed by.... he has attended school for a month now. I'm no longer worried about him during his recess time as he is coping fine !! :):)

Zac's K2 Certification Presentation cum Concert 2009

Zac's K2 Certification Presentation & Concert finally ended last Sunday @ ITE Simei Auditorium. It must have been tough on the participating children & teachers with the constant rehearsal prior to it!! *sweat*

Below is pic of Zac with his graduation gown over his concert attire. He took a pic with his best friend, Xavier. Too bad the 2 boys will not be in the same school next year *sob*

The VIPs for the event was Deputy Prime Minister & Minister of Defence, Mr Teo Chee Hean. The boys were so honoured to be able to take a pic with him :):)

We also took pic with our MPs, Ms Penny Low. She is so friendly & even joked with Amos, who was shy at first to take the pic ;p

Mummy loves me this I know ... ...

The boys made those arts in school today in celebration of Mother's Day.
Zac's flower comes with a very nice poem that goes :

Mummy loves me this I know,
Everyday she tells me so.
On this very special day,
I have only this to say.
I love you Mummy,
I love you Mummy,
I love you Mummy,
You mean the world to me.

Amos flower was very creatively done, it was cut out from his hand print & folded to make the petals for the flower :):)

Thanks kiddos, mummy loves all your art pieces. muackkkkkssss !! :):)

Happy Mother's Day to all Mummies out there ... ...

Amos' NEW personalised bag

I ordered the personalised bag for Amos a week ago. This was his belated 3rd birthday pressie given by his beloved auntie Molly. It was delivered via registered mail this morning. Amos was delighted to see his name sewn on it. He chose the design himself from a dozen of choices. I hope the bag can last him throughout his pre-school years since it looks durable & rather spacious ;)

Btw, here's how much it cost... ...
$32 + $5 (personalisation) + $1.50 (postage) + $2.25 (registered mail) = $40.75
