JB fun

Ian has been to po2's pl for stayover this past wk on n off but yest he said he's gotta go home coz daddy is on lve tdy. Yes, din tell him where we were going but he knows it's fun whenever daddy is on lve. We planned to go legoland but weather din look promising so told e kids if rain does come, we gotta run to e mall.

Well surprisingly e rain din get there but it was super duper crowded. Glad we hv been there so e kids know what they want n what they can't get tdy, we could come back again w annual pass so we went right into e pl where there was lesser crowd n yes, e kids went round n round e rides they love which was not crowded yet. This time, e boys wanted to try THE dragon, which was e bigger roller coaster which they saw on tv but we hv yet to visit it. Ian was apprehensive at beginning n even scared b4 e ride but turned out so fine we took it 3 times n e boys tried e 1st row, e last row n even e middle n verdict mama felt was last row was most scary coz it's kindof pull back effect being e last part. Anw e boys loved it n they shld try it next time round but glad it wasn't crowded tdy yet.

Then they went on taking their fav rides n yeah did give up some coz too long waiting time n it was lunch so we went out for lunch n hit e mall for shopping n arcade n also dinner. It was a Gd long day we spent together n well tired n exhausted but e kids really enjoyed themselves n thank God for e Gd weather too!

PSA port tour

Ian has been to daddy's workplace several times but he still got no clues what daddy's work is abt besides knowing e coy name. Tdy as part of e company's 4015 (ie 40 yrs of containerization n 15 yrs of corporatisation) we had this rare opportunity to visit e port!

Yea excited as its half a day program n well 5 yrs ago on Ian's bday we had a glimpse of e port coz it was a family day n they incorporated a short bus ride into brani n tg pagar terminal but well tdy was indepth so much so Ian could b hands on to monitor e crane n even climbed onto a prime mover.

Kudos to e engineering team as it was an interesting tour w even photo snaps of family pic n even Polaroids to bring home hmmm have more insight what daddy's job is abt as we even visited pasir panjang terminal where daddy previously worked! Well Gd port biz PSA is into as we had a 2 hrs tour between 4 terminals. Plus Gd morning weather to really see how e key crane n yard cranes function n it ended w a Gd lunch together hmm saw alot of daddy's colleagues n yes all commented e 2 kids r little Joshuas hee n Joann was having so much fun w uncles n aunties too! Just wonder when we could wear safety vest, helmet n climb onto prime movers again! All thanks to daddy who works in e coy

Ian's yr end party in school

Tdy is e last day in school for e yr n mama contemplated whether to go coz her eye is not 'well' hee n did ask if it's ok not to go coz need ferry mei2 to po2's pl n all, e boy was ok at 1st then later said no coz he got to act in a play.

Well Gd thing we did coz there was a surprise for us (both him n mama) coz e Sch is embarking on this series of inculcating Gd values like obedience, kindness, politeness etc n there was a prize giving for kids who display e values. Each class only 5 r selected n Ian is 1 of the 5 fm his class tho he was given e value 'acceptance' (hmmm need to find out what issit) n well was caught unaware when his name was read out n mama rushed out to capture a shot of him w his principal well 1st time he got an award n so glad we went today haha

N each level had an item to perform n e K1s did e nativity story n Ian is one of e inn keeper to turn Mary n Joseph away. Gd timing to tell e story to e young as e yr end party was on Christmas theme. Well each time it has this Gd feeling whenever we attend his Sch event n shouldn't contemplate to attend anymore of it huh. Well n e boy had a bus ride to po2's pl n he was delighted to b on a double decker n he's at e front seat looking v happy😉 well it's holiday time!!

Happy 70th bday to ah maa!!

Guess it brings delight to ah maa with e whole family coming together for a meal n that was e reason why we spent half day together for this occasion. The kids always find e usual sun dinner too short to play together n tdy they had extended time of play n feast!!

Yes, a potluck of food contribution which was so much we stayed on for dinner too. The kids had snacks n Iicr cream too aft dinner hmm what a way to celebrate huh. The kids had so much fun that could hardly hear a word fm Ian who was playing so happily w his cousins. N yes must b a real tiring day for all as we rest for e public holiday

It's PTC again!!!

Yes parents teacher conference n this time mama was thinking if shld skip future sessions. Reason coz we seem to hear e same fm teachers. Issit e same for every kid haha or coz it's e same teachers so we hear same comments. Anw tdy e Sch is off n daddy is on lve, did think of not bringing Ian coz he's usually shy during e session n v not him but anw he came along coz thot was easier logistically. N well each PTC we see e progress of Joann too hee. Last yr end she was patted to zzz, this may she was sitting on lap n tdy she was crawling n even trying to reach 老师 iPhone hee.

Ok back to Ian, prior to seeing 老师 we saw e English teacher by chance (coz only got time to see form teacher) n teacher Joyce had such Gd comments for Ian such as Gd vocab n could read well, hmm why he can't read books to me hee, n yes participates well in class but shy haha tho she thinks he's not shy. Well then 王老师 echoed almost e same plus complimented his writing v well. Why can't write so well back home huh haha guess its diff when back home. Ya e same comments abt him shy n this time more of his expression of thots so maybe it's e language but he follows instructions v well. Hmm ya so ended up always think its e same so why go PTC well to see his 习字 n indeed he writes well n teacher claims coz they hv longer Chinese class coz her form class n yes, Ian does read better in Chinese bks brought back fm Sch. Is that why? Well just think he's fine but next yr more stuff up with journal n spelling. K2 is coming so so soon. Well b4 it comes better enjoy n yes, we went food for thought at botanical garden which is a pl we heard so much n finally went. Good food n guess its a nice pl to celebrate our son 'promoting' to K2 haha with him indulging in his burger n fries!

Ian is 5 yrs n 8 mths old

This has been quite an eventful mth. It was his Sch concert n he was really excited abt his song n dance n since then he's into dancing when back at home or even in shower hee what a dancer boy we hv n guess its only for us to see!

Then we went legoland for e 1st time as he has been bugging us to go US (yes, e states) just coz he heard pple going there n how fun. Sigh this is what a 5yo boy can request. Well we could bring him to legoland, at least.

Then he also started his swimming class again tho w v much apprehension n 1st lesson almost wanted to back out so need pep talk. Sigh break for some wks due to schedule n weather, wonder if he will back again out.

Then we visited e dentist n yea aft 5 long yrs he finally got persuaded to see 1 coz we got concerns abt his teeth n just need keep praying hmm.

N he got his scooter, ya 1 of those moods to get his an expensive toy coz he has alot of requests each time we visit a toy shop n he knows it's Christmas n bday he can request. He's asking for heelys shoes w skates sigh so much abt his inline skating he's always doing at home but dare not sign up for e class in Sch.

Then he also had his 1st 'pet' haha it's a happy meal toy he got this wk fm po2 but it's one of e toys he really treasure n see e pic he took with it coz he says he wanna show his future wife haha (ya told mama in case u pass on u can't tell it to my wife so I can show. See what plans e boy has!) n yes, certainly lots more fun n mischiefs he has with his sister. This wk he started 'carrying' her, a dangerous act which we r trying to stop but he claims he is strong n e sis is quite thrilled being carried by him. Yes, a certainly long mth had passed n perhaps a longer mth is coming up coz it's Sch hols errrhh mama attempting to bring both kids out on some mornings. Will see how it goes coz it's gonna be a long mth ahead!

Ian's 1st visit to the dentist!

We hv been trying to convince e boy to visit e dentist n yest it was a family affair to e dentist. Aft much prep abt e visit, e boy was still v nervous n almost backed out aft we were told we were 30 mins early.

He was so nervous on e dentist chair n he din like e reclining feeling sigh even much assurance n role play at home. He din wanna open his mouth even but much persuasion n he finally did n was praised by e dentist. Well well just a glance at his teeth took so long n result was his lower 2 teeth which he had them knocked out 2 yrs ago has fragments floating up. We thot was his permanent teeth coming up but nay he might need extraction for e small bits there but we foresee it tough to convince e boy n e dentist told us to monitor n his permanent teeth might push it out, well pray v hard for it to happen else everything else seems fine. Well e sister is the one having fun while waiting for us all to b done. What an 'excursion' n Ian got a killer whale sticker for his 'bravery' haaa
