What a night!!!

Today, I was attending a refresher course for my trading. So, Han Tiong will have to look after the boys and settle the homework. I told him to let Marcus learn spelling. To my horror, he sms me and told me there was no spelling. Spelling date was 15 May 2009.

In the end, I have to double check with the teacher and got so "worried" so I left my class early. Luckily I came back. I guess daddies are always so switch off when it comes to homework!!!
- He saw the spelling for 15 May. The one on 29 April is just the page before and he cannot see it.
- He din check the handbook and missed out that Marcus had to do 8 pages of Maths homework.
- Bryan also did not do his homework from PCF.

Haiz...Although man and woman are different, I still think it can be improved if man make the effort. Only mummies worry about kids work and exams. I wonder what do daddies worry about....

Visit to the Science Centre again...

We went to the science centre about 2 weeks ago. This picture was taken outside the entrance while waiting for it to open at 10am.

We were quite lucky that day as the eggs in the Science Centre were due to hatch on Day 21. When we reached there, one of the eggs had already hatched and the chick was resting all on it's own feeling lonely. We noticed another egg which was like 30% through its cracking through the egg and decided to try our luck in waiting for it to hatch. Well, the boys were quite impatient and went off and back to watch the egg.

After about 20 mins wait, the chick gave a final push and broke out of its shell. It ended that I was the one who witness that special moment. Hmm...It was my first time seeing such a scene and it was really interesting. Imagine us mummies getting damn tired after giving birth...Well, I think it is the same for the chick. It was so tired after all the pushing that it just "dropped dead". I was told by the helpers in the centre that if the chick is brown, then it is girl. It will be yellow if it is a boy. Cool...

Here's a pic of Marcus playing at the waterworks in the centre. Oops...the visit there had left Bryan some interesting "memory". He likes to walk around on his own and refuse to follow us here and there. In the end, he got lost TWICE in the centre. Ha Ha Ha... Well, I was not worried at all as it was an enclosed area. I was sure I can find him. For both instances, he was "found" by the staff at the centre. I teased him for breaking the centre's record by getting lost twice. Ha Ha Ha...

Imagine Bryan pretending to be brave. He did not cry when we got him back. When I probe him further, he started crying and said this, "I looked here and looked there...but I cannot find you and papa..." and kept on crying. It was so funny for me to see that and I kept reminding him to remember this lesson!!!

Bryan going under water!!!

After 3 swimming lessons with the teacher, Bryan still cannot convince himself to put his face into the water. Hence, the teacher recommend that he starts swimming when he reach 5yo. Today, we went to the pool while Marcus was having his lessons. All of a sudden, Bryan got confident and tried to go into the water with his hands pressing on his nose. Ten minutes later, he forgot all about his hands on the nose and went in with googles all by himself!!!

He was very happy with it and looked so proud that he can do it. Good job for a boy who washes hair in salon style. ^_^

Bryan - Updates

We had our yearly Chinese Lion Dance during the CNY at our condo. Both of them had "fun" touching the lion which is lying on the floor waiting to be "actioned".

Here are 4 young kids grooming to be future "Gamble King/Queen". Ha Ha Ha...No lah...They are just playing matching games with the cards.

Picture taken during CNY 2009 with their grandparents.

This is a drawing done by Bryan in class. All the kids had to draw their friends and the drawings are pasted outside the classroom for all to admire. Hee Hee...

Here are the 3 Musketeers!!! They are Bryan's good friend in school. Every day, they will play a while under the void deck before going to their class. Bryan, Jia En and Li Wen.

Marcus - Updates

Hee Hee...I had not posted for quite some time as I was pretty busy watching stock prices. :)
Sorry... I did not make big money. Just watching my losses. Ha Ha Ha...
Ok, here comes the small little updates relating to Marcus.

Marcus is the Class Monitor for Term 2. Well, it got all of us worried because we cannot imagine him (a small size boy) - asking someone to keep quiet and behave. His tasks includes taking attendance and writing names of people who mis-behave in a note book. There is another Monitress for the class and both of them work together. Hmm...Maybe I should be thankful for the teacher for choosing him in the shortest term of the year to be a Monitor...Ha Ha Ha...

We observed that Marcus seems to be a target by someone for his money. He has got his money stolen twice in school. As both incidents happened on Tuesdays where he normally gets more money for lunch, we believed someone knows his "pattern" and stole his money when he is away from his bag. The problem is that the wallet is too big for his pocket and hence it was placed in his bag. I have to look for a small purse for him which is not too girly to solve this problem...Haiz...

This lego model was done by Marcus. It is a model of what he sees on TV when people play golf. Pretty creative of him to think of this. :)

Marcus with Daddy at the Flea Market on 1 March 2009. We rented a stall for $15 to get rid of stuff we don't need. My hubby says I spoilt the market by selling clothes at $1 only. Well, we mainly want to dispose off the items so it was "half sale half give" type of feeling on that day. One old auntie bought 18 pieces of clothes from me at one shot. That really surprised me. Marcus was there to help out but he was not of much use when the crowd comes. Anyway, he enjoys it. Bryan was left out as I had left him with my mum. It will be tough with 2 kids there.

Here's Marcus in the morning with a pack of grass jelly drink. We ended the day with $152 which ended as a dinner for the whole family with my parents. @_@

Marcus lost his first tooth at home during his first E-learning session. He was playing with his shaky tooth when it just came off. He held it and looked at me. It took me a while to realised that he was holding his tooth. Ha Ha Ha....

Well, at least it saves me the trouble of trying to get it out and he did not cry at all. It was totally painless. ^_^

This pic was taken on his first day at school during his recess time. His buddy had wnet off to buy food while he sits there eating his cake.
