Butterfly Kisses...

Who would have thought a Simple Song like Butterfly Kisses would invoke such feelings in me.


Hearing the song, reading the words...
I realised that I never really knew my dad.
Did he loved me?
Does he think of me every now and then?
Can he even remembered that he had a daughter somewhere out there?

The lyrics made me cry...
Pain that stabbed me in my heart that I didn't even knew existed.
I thought I didn't care
I thought that I will do fine
I thought that it doesn't matter
and things are better this way...

Well - I can only think of it this way
'cause I don't think I will ever know if he had loved me
if he had thought of me
rather than to have the cruel truth of knowing
that he hadn't care,
hadn't love,
hadn't matter...
I would prefer to leave it as it is.

I am just thankful that I have a wonderful husband who is everything my own dad wasn't.
A dad who is always there for his girls.

Thank you - Darling!

Here pox, there pox

Caught the chicken pox virus since Monday.
Grew a lot of 'poxes' on my body, back and especially on my scalp!

The ones on my scalp are the most painful.
They are like acne - very swollen and painful.

Tried using ACV (Apple cider vinegar) mixed with water and wipe on the affected areas.
Seemed to be able to help with the itch and help the drying up...

Dh has been wonderful... helping with taking care of the kids and me. :)
Made me cooling drinks, porridge and stuff.

How great it is to have such a wonderful and loving dh!

P1 Update for Kady

This is looong overdue. :P

Kady's school recently organized a Communication session for the P1 parents to let us know the activities/ plans up ahead...

I must say that I am impressed.
Not 'cos that they do the session but cos of all the plans that was lined up for the little P1 kids!
They are organizing outdoor trips to Resort World Sentosa and Universal Studio in the last week of Term 2 and Term 3.
Thereafter - the children need to do a Show and Tell in public so that they can learn to communicate and do a little 'public speaking' per se.

And - they have a studio of sorts that children can try out doing stuff like reporting, DJs, etc.
heck! They even have their own radio station so tt kids can dedicate songs!

And there is plans for them to re-do a section of the school to a Mini Science area where children can learn but science is a 'fun' and creative environment.
They are even going to create an online portal for the kids to log in and learn! (will be ready in March, I think.)

The best part - NO EXAMS this year!!! Instead, the P1 kids will be assessed on their usual work/ small projects.

The classroom sitting is in clusters/ groups. So that they can learn to work as a group.
In their classrooms, they have computers and a mini library!
Kids will get time to be on the computer and they will be teaching them keyboard skills as well.

Updates from the teacher was that Kady is very vocal (i.e. talkative lah!) and confident.
Enjoy arts and PE lessons.
Is the appointed Asst. Group Leader for English, Group Leader for Mandarin and the Art Monitor!

Since Jan, Kady has fought with her classmates twice!
'cos 1 time - someone smack her, and the other time - someone pissed her off.

My idiot brother told her that she shouldn't smack the kid back.
What she should have done was smack the kid, then drag the kid to the teacher and tell the teacher tt the kid smack her!
Good thing she didn't pay notice to my bro! *whew*

Overall - she has been coping well and both english and mandarin teacher said she is quite bright and a fast learner.

The start of a New Year - 2010

Its Kady's 1st day at Primary School today...
Time really flies. Its like she has suddenly just grow overnight and no longer a little baby.

Kady is very independent and brave today.
We dropped her off at the Student Care (which thankfully is within the school compound!)
and stayed with her for like 5mins before asking her if she is okay to be on her own.
She said its fine and that we can go...
Still I lingered around and saw that my independent baby went up to the teacher to asked for some coloring pages to color to entertain herself.
I hope she will be able to do well in school - be it behavioral or studies.
I hope she will like school so that we can have 1 less worry.

Kady - if you are reading this (one day down the road), Be assured that Mummy and Daddy is very proud of you and we Love you so much!

1 wedding, 2 funerals.

It was my younger cousin Vincent's birthday last Sunday...
I didn't attend as I just got back from Shanghai and was sick.
Moreover, the wedding was in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.

Less than 24hours later, my granny passed away.
I hope she is no longer suffering where ever she is now.
She had cancer for quite a while...

Today is Sunday.
Another week gone.
I just heard from my brother that 2nd uncle passed away.
Another funeral...

That makes it the 3rd one this year.
Makes me think - life and death is just a thread away.
喜于悲，生于死 - 一限之擦。

Another baby tooth out...

Kady just dropped another of her baby tooth last week.
Only realised that her new teeth are already 1/2 grown out after the baby tooth came out... :P
Her teeth are all growing out pretty soon!

Will be going over to Shanghai to attend the China coat show and getting the meetings ready. It will be a mad rush again. :(

Vera is finally recovering now. PD suspected that she has Influenza A and her fever only broke after 6 days! You can only imagine how tired I was as I have just came back from Suzhou on Friday evening and she was sick on that day.
She still has a cough and running nose but at least no fever.
Hubby was also down. Guess he caught the virus from Vera.

Kady's Graduation

Just wanna share - Yesterday was Kady's graduation concert... they were asked what they wanted to be. Kady said - I want to be a scientist that can save the world from natural disasters. So that everyone will be safe. Am so proud of my girl!

Her class performance was cowboy dance... the costumes was great and her class performance was the one that has the most claps and wolf whistles!

I just came back from Shanghai/ Suzhou on Friday and bought 10 hairy crabs back. We had feast on Friday night....
Vera is also down with fever, cough and cold... very tiring night!
