sentimental

a note to kinder teacher


a message from chc



ya, wonder since when, my feeling is so sensitive n sentimental, I am always in my wet eyes, happy, touching, see children singing, listening to touching advertisement, singing songs.. but most of the time I cry when I am feeling good. compare to sadness, I seldom cry because I am sad or hurt ^_^ still can't accept myself crying in the last year kinder graduation ceremony, when all the 6 years old children wearing the gown n sing 'negaraku' hahahaha :D I just felt so touching lo! if my children were in the group, I might pengsan kot :p

don't give up

last night I went back home, royee was sleeping. mama told me royee was quiet the whole day. around 9pm he woke up, I talked silly stories to cheer him up.

took my camera, I asked angel sing few songs. royee joined us too. most of the songs, he forgot the lyrics, can see him hate himself n looked so frustrated. end up, he went out the room. took his crayon n asked me for papers, he non stop drawing. few times he stopped drawing, n came to me 'ahhh mummy, I know how to sing already' then he started singing, then forgot the lyrics again, then he was sad n got back to his drawing.

it is so hurt to see all these scenes, I know he is trying hard n thinking ways to prove to everyone including himself which he is smart in some ways. he felt sad n down, when again n again he failed to do to perfection. my heart is breaking :~

before I slept, he came in to my room quietly, I offered my hug to him. I hugged him tightly. I showed him 'ging gang goolie' movie clip to him. his smile is so light :( then I decided to tell him stories.

1st, as the idea given by Mei, I told royee the real story of Thomas Edison. how the teachers didn't want him to be in their schools, how the mother teach him at home. how the neighbours laugh at him n the mother for the 1000 times of failure. I shared with royee how this great person accepted the failure as ways didn't work out. n now we have light in the house because of Thomas hardwork n never give up attitude.

I shared with royee some other great ppl stories, who invented the airplane, telephone, papers. of course, I added some silly funny elements in the story eg if no paper, then royee gonna bring a full bag of sands to the school together with 2 tree branches, the teacher gonna be tired to clean the table of sands everyday. at last, he hahaha :D

I reminded him the bible story how Noah build the ark in years. he didn't give up in completing God's mission, no matter how other ppl teasing him n the family. times, I asked royee to give himself time to practise n be better everyday.

I showed my hand to him. I told him we have 5 fingers here with different sizes n measurements. each of the fingers has different functions. we can't dislike 1 of them because it is small or fat. then I told him, mummy is good at baking the cake (konon la), but mummy can't sing very well with ducking voice, then the little finger is drawing, mummy can't draw well. then royee shared with me, his five fingers with his talent :) the longest middle finger is story telling :D then I said 'ya! u always share with me stories u heard from Sunday schools which mummy can learn from u!' he looked happy now :)

I told him, in order to be a true no.1 is not how smart u r in studying, your heart, u must do things with your good heart, be a kind hearted person, care for people this is most important attitude. n never give up yourself.

shared with royee our Malaysian angkasawan dr sms story when he was 10 years old, he told himself he wanted to be an astronaut in the future, he wanted to see the outer space. so he study hard, having good health, be a doctor.. he prepared himself for the day, he can have chance to fly up to the outer space. we need dream n wishes, we need to work in a right way for our dream if we really wish to realise it.

so royee left my room happily, can hear he talking loudly 'waipo 'waipo, I tell u, the king is a bad king, he cooked the 3 men, but suddenly 3 men became 4! why? because another one is an angel!...' he sharing the bible story with grandma. I smiled n I know, he is feeling ok now ^_^ thank you Lord for giving me knowledge in building up confidence level for this little boy :)

this morning, royee like a battey fully charged baby happily prepare himself to school. he put all his night before drawing in the bag, guess that, he wanted to show the pictures to the teacher.

^_^

ging gang goolie

recently me n papa singing this song for bbb, they love it!

2 ends feelings

so happy for eva's achievement, top 5 in the chinese flash cards reading. hope she can always at her best in learning stages. hope that not only academic, good attitude n social skills too!











at the same time, I feel so sad for
royee's feeling towards her sis's achievement. royee saw sis n his classmates performance on stage, got their trophy. over the weekend, he did ask several times, why I can't be like that? he looked down. I want him to learn about losing feeling, but at the same time, I don't want this hurting feeling kills his confidence.

me been feeling not ok, don't know how to use a right way to make him feel better. of course I can't follow the layman term, 'because u r stupid ma, they all are smater than u ma' this is hurt! when I heard my kaima told this to royee :~

this morning, while driving to work, I call up the kinder. I told the headmistress the while story, n seek her professional view to comfort royee's feeling. I have confidence with her to make royee feel better.

along the journey, I sing this song, I really hope royee can understand this,he has his talents which might not same with her sisters. so, be a happy learner in this school of LIFE.

I cried, when I sing this repeatedly in the car :~

公鸡啼　小鸟叫　太阳出来了
太阳当空照　对我微微笑
他笑我年纪小　又笑我志气高
年纪小　志气高　
将来作个大英豪

Word contest

Yesterday got notice from the kinder, eva is 1 of the winners for word recognition contest for 4 years old class. So tonight we are not going back to bkt31, and we gonna skip tomolo morning music class, 1 family will go to the kinder to support eva n her classmates for the word recognition performance as well as yahoo! for her award :D


I am eva :D


Very seldom see her smile naturally ^o^


Evava, thanks for the surprise :)

Friday lo~

Am eating bun in the train n blogging :p I just can't help myself, coz I am super hungry!

1st day with bangsrei in the house, this morning I also wake up early. We managed to prepare ourselves before 7.40am! So still have time for bbb n me to watch tom n jerry till 8.05am :) happily go to the kinder n work.

The maid is ok, smile when u talk to her, maybe she doesn't understand me most of the time :p we communicate with very basic English n sign language. Luckily my parents can speak English n my children big already, or else, not easy then in term of having a combodian maid in the house, especially no other supervisor at home. I have given the time table to the agency, n they wrote my maid the translation in Khmer. As what the agency told me, we have to non stop telling n showing the maid what to do coz they don't understand much.

So far, my maid do all things by her own. She might not follow the flow with our daily schedule, but at least the housework done. She does speak with me in her language, I shake my head to tell her I don't understand :p paper n pen I use when she can't understand what I am talking. Last night I teach her Monday Tuesday.. Sunday. Bbb teach her eyes, nose, mulut/mouth, hand, leg. Then i show her picture dictionary, she read for me bowl, spoon, plate.. I teach her newspaper, curtain, n many more things in the house. Hehe only 1st night she needs to learn so many things! :p

Ok lo, my bbb are quite easy going type, get well with the sister quite fast. 1st conversation between royee n the maid was 'hi, my name is shone jay thea royee hehe' :p children are quite well adapt to new changes, now they speak English to the sister, 'sister, I want milk' 'sister, this is my barney' macam macam la.. Bbb showed the maid the toilet new deco, 'sister u look, look monkey n ziraff' the sister smiled at them only :) guess that with these 3 talkative bbb, the maid can understand us much faster.

Thanks papa n mama for being patient training the maid. N thanks to bbb for being friendly with the new maid. hope that my choice going to bring me easy days for the 2years. May God continue lead me n fanily to better arrangement. All of the wishes n pray in Jesus name, amen :)

Ps: will go to klcc kinokuniya, hope I can get a English-khmer dictionary. Btw, 'bang-srei' sounds as 'boon-si-rei' the maid read for me :)

Bang-srei

On leave today. After a great facial service from Banting Herbaline, now I am on the way to the maid agency to pick up my combodian. Since communication is the biggest challenge from what I read from the forum n experience from my friends, I bring royee with me in the car, so at least I can talk to someone who understands me :p

I asked bbb to call the maid 'sister'. At 1st I wanted them to call the maid in Khmer language, but I don't know how to pronounce it correctly. 'bang' for brother, 'bang-srei' for sister. Got this from iPhone application :)

Ok.. Reaching the agency, update story later.

Toilet deco

Because of my papa n mama ankle n knees prob, we had changed the toilet bowl from squat to sitting style before my mum's knees operation. I always find it blank n empty in the toilet. N the 4 wall holes made me feel imperfect. St last, I got some deco got it..

"I knew....you too...my soul .."

1st movie watching experience

27/6/2010 we brought bbb to the cinema. on father's day, when we passed by cinema at aeon bukit tinggi, royee told me 'mummy, i never watch movie in the cinema, i want to watch movie in the cinema, dark dark de' i kept his wish list in mind, then i got the free tickets from boss, so laogong n i bought another 3 children tickets for TOY STORY 3. children were excited, n in full gear - jackets n long pants, hehe gonna be cold in the cinema.

hehe.. while waiting for the show..

A-team

'pong pong pong'

macam macam..

knight n day - angels are acting cool!

frozen.. sejuknya...

the karate kid!

there are few funny quotes from bbb in the cinema.. when eva was looking for her shoes 'mummy, switch on the light la! so dark!' or angel asked 'mummy, why dont want to switch on the light? i cant find my shoe!' wonder why these 2 gals non stop looking for shoes during the movie playing.. ya, angel n eva went to the toilet, each went once.. so laogong have to went to the toilet twice! :p royee non stop asking 'mummy, is outside night time already?' maybe he was in the dark room wonder what's happening out there :p it was 1pm show..

what a great experience to bring bbb to the cinema, quite behave, they finsihed watching the story n understand the storyline. of course, non stop questions popping up when they dont understand the story. have the interest to bring them for nice movie in the future :p

BUT... i am sooooo regret from this 1st time experience when i heard my mum telling me, royee complained 'wai po, mummy didnt buy us pop corn to the cinema, mr bean and his girl friend bought pop corn n eat in the cinema, but we have nothing, only our drinking bottle' ahhhhh... in fact, royee asked 'mummy, are we buying pop corn?' when we were waiting for the movie, i was thinking that, this is their 1st time, i dont know if they gonna be alright in the cinema, later with pop corn dirty up the shirts or fighting for food, then it gonna be worse.. but then, now i realized that, i have given incomplete 1st time experience to royee for movie watching.. hmmmm next time, i will make sure i buy pop corn for them..
