Award in Chinese

Dawter T never fails to surprise me with her accomplishments at school. In fact, the mere thought that she answer her homework/exercises correctly has already made me so proud (I can remember that at 2nd grade, I was pasaway, who doesn't listen, who doesn't do her homework and was in the lowest group in the Math groupings! Ha!)

Dawter not only answers her work correctly, she even understands them. Hahaha. Ok, don't laugh but that's important to me. I like to write but correct grammar was not something I had when I was in second grade.

Anyway, only Chinese had us stumped. She got good grades in Chinese last year but I didn't really mind it much since she didn't have a tutor. Now that she has one, I am so happy that her Chinese has improved a lot. By that, I mean she's one of the best in her class (ok, ok, I admit it's the lowest class in Chinese where all the non-Chinese are grouped, still, right?)

And, yesterday... She got an award --- in Chinese!!! Woohoo! Though we don't understand it a bit. It's enough that we know that it's an award for Chinese calligraphy. They awarded it during the assembly. My cheeky daughter told me that her friends were giving her a thumbs down sign. Oh, peer pressure!


Somebody please translate? Hehe

Nyamy Nyamy

Our Bebe A is at the stage of being cheeky and endearing.  She can speak so many words now, some clear, some not.  Hehehe.  She likes to sing as well.  She actually has a good tone.  One of the songs that she likes is the one from Wiggles --- Fruit Salad.  Her version though is : Mom : Fruit Salad Bebe A :  Nyamy Nyamy (Yummy Yummy)

Math Matters

Dawter T called me up and excitedly told me that she's the highest in Math for term 1. So, I thought it was for their exam in Ordinal numbers. "Mommy, Mrs. T said, I am the highest in my tests and in my worksheets. I am 100 %!" Ok, ok, it's our first year in Primary so I am still a bit confused with the grading system. Then, she said, my English is good, but it's not like Math! That got me more confused! But still, I owe her a trip to Night Safari! Hehehe. *** I got home and found Dawter T's assessment folder. And lo and behold, it's true! I am very proud of my chicka! Hehehe (And Pre was even more than proud, for him, only Math matters hahaha)

Sunday Afternoon

We've had an adventure this afternoon. We ate at Pizza Hut and was very disappointed that they forgot to bring out our pizza. It should have come sooner but they made a mistake of bringing out thin crust instead of pizza hut. Pre had to ask the crew about it and only then did they informed us that the pizza was still 5 minutes away, and they were giving us some fried chicken for our wait. I mean, hello? We've waited a long time and it was not our fault and you only thought of the chicken after my husband marched in to your area to ask! We're not difficult customers. We're just hungry hehehe... Bad thing turned to good. The manager was Filipina and after Pre told her about our case, she said that Pizza Hut decided that we don't need to pay for what they have served. Fair enough. But, I don't think I will be coming back anytime soon. So sad. To cap our day, took some photos of the girls. Ate too conscious of her teeth. Bebi A, loving her yellow balloon.
