Let Her Relax

I am not a Kiasu parent. I am not a Kiasu parent. I am not a Kiasu parent.

Hehehe...

But, maybe I am. *grins*

I went to Dawter T's school today to talk to her Form Teacher and her Chinese Teacher. Before I went in, I talked to another mom whom I got to know coz I always sms her when I can't understand Dawter T's handwriting, she told me that the Form teacher encouraged them to push her daughter more.

Hmmm... So I got a bit scared.

I went in. I finally met her Form Teacher whom I exchange emails with.

I was pleasantly surprised about the feedback.

"Your daughter is well-liked by all her teachers. She's very keen on studying and learns fast" (mana sa akin!!! joke)

I asked her if I need to "push" my daughter to study more. She said no. She said to let her try things that she will enjoy like arts.

With regards to Chinese, again, I heard the magic words, she is well-liked. Hahaha. "Charming pala sya." And, she has enthusiasm to learn Chinese (pramis po, indi ko makita ito sa bahay!!! minsan naiiyak pa sya...). The only thing is it's really hard for her to speak.

Thank you, Lord!

*** For those who read my blog and wonder why I am so stressed with my daughter's progress, Primary school here in Singapore is quite tough. Sad but true.

hahaha, mana sa lolo vic nya, sungit lang sa bahay pero oks na oks sa labas esp other people. Just learn good techniques of building their confidence and boosting their self morale. As long as you and Pre, Ana even, are consistent in your moral values, discipline, love&affection, attention and time that you give to them, they will carry it through no matter where they are. Always set a tone of love, acceptance and forgiveness always, and they will grow up secure and feeling love. Recipe of a successful parenthood.

Dress Code

If wearing jeans every day of the week is the gauge for a great workplace, my new job would have a tie with my last workplace in the Philippines. Yes, we can dress down the whole week. I am so thrilled with this prospect. First day was ok. My boss took a picture of me from camera phone and sent this picture in an email to the global team. Oh man! Workwise, I find the team to be so organized and that scares me. After being lawless for a year, it's a big turnaround. When I opened my email this morning, I got almost 70+ mails, and my training plan already laid out. They also gave me a web camera and headset for team web conferencing. (I really need to lose weight now, the camera will add a few more pounds hahaha) Then, I found out that they don't come to work on time and we can leave at exactly 545pm. Woohoo! That's one of the things that were nagging me but I was so pleased to learn that. We even had a 1 and a half hour of lunch time. Hmmm... This could be very...

Confession

Being a Mom.  Sometimes I feel as I am not cut out for it. Too much work.  Too much responsibility.  Too much worry. Worry that Ate T is taking the bus today.  Ate A's tooth is still in there and the new one has already come out.  Baby A has colds and is screaming and wants to cuddle. Sometimes it leaves me breathless. But When I pick up Ate T from our meeting place, I feel so proud of her because she has become independent and can commute.  Ate A's tenacity in wiggling her tooth and she's now toothless, doesn't need to go to the dentist to have it removed.  And, Baby A despite her colds still has appetite and it just feels good to hug her. God has showered me with so much love for giving me 3 wonderful girls.  It feels good being a mommy. Happy Mother's Day to all you wonderful Mommies!

Creativity

Dawter T called me up and told me that Bebi A tore her art and made a monster out of the girl in the picture. I know that it's not being mean. Bebi A doesn't have a mean bone in her body. She just don't understand. I talked to Bebi A. Asked her to kiss and make up with her Ate, She did. Ate A told me that she went up to Dawter T and kissed her, then asked "Is this better, Ate?" Awwww... Dawter T's "smashed" art was one of her best. I was really impresed. If only I have taken a picture of it this morning. It was really beautiful. It was a portrait of a girl, by the way. I hope that Dawter T can still replicate it. I know that not all kids are alike. And, my daughters have their own endearing qualities. One's art is different from the other. Dawter T has the potential (not because I'm her mom, ok ok, it maybe because I'm her mom hahaha) and Bebi A's, well, let's just say abstract. Hehe.
