living your life!

It has been almost 2 months since I have last blogged.

During my absence in the blogs, I have been having great time with work and home (of course).

Mama is thankful for you my dear daughter. you have grown in to a very confident & sensible child. There are down time still but you have done well sarah!

school, kumon, music lessons are not easy for any 5 year-old. mama do not like to list the "achievements" here, but i must highlight your love for things you do, your friends, your family and life!

truly a blessing!

what should we call it now?

"mrs oh school" - that's what we've been calling it since mrs oh has been your class teacher.

what are we going to call it ...? ~that was one of my first thoughts when i learnt that mrs. oh has resigned 3 weeks ago.

could we have done something? ~ yes
could we have done it earlier? ~yes

it doesn't matter anymore, as mrs. oh is not changing her mind. soon weng has probably been praying the hardest (such a sweet boy!)

sarah, mrs oh has made such an impact in your life so far... well not just you, but many of your friends. actually not just the children, but their (and your) parents too.

mama thank mrs. oh for her encouragement, her care, her interests in every child, her support, her honesty and her kindness. you often want to share your new experiences, your discoveries and often your grievances with her. she brought out the best behavior in you. she is a blessing, our blessing.

we have to let (her) go.

.•:*¨¨*:•.•:*¨¨*:•. with blessings, mrs. oh, goodbye, & may God bless you.

p.s. mama also just learnt that Hu lao shi has also left the centre. mama did not even notice earlier. i was still looking forward for meimei to be in her class when she turns 18tmths this may.

treasure realtionshiips & people around us sarah.

simple pleasures...

long over-due update

it has been another month of packed schedule and bleak of impossibility to get by each week. lets take stock of the month's development...

fun time at the earth day picnic with childcare centre at the labrabor park. our centre (ghim moh) won 1st prize in the mascot competition! papa was the recycled man in carton box, newspaper head gear and a paper hear! teachers and friends were all proud =) the best part of the day was all fun and learning about being green and loving planet earth!

then there was a week that mama most dreaded. mama when to the uk for work. whilst mama was happy to visit the country again, it was painful to not see you. i tried not to think too much about it, and imagine in future days, the great places to show and enjoy with you.

the week went by pretty quickly and we zoomed off to hong kong straight after mama came back to singapore! wow, it was wonderful to be able to spend all the time with you. we first went to disneyland, and met ba-gonggong, ah-mah, kaykay jj, wai yee jj, wai meng gor-gor, wai hong gor-gor at the disneyland hollywood hotel. it was very exciting for everyone to meet in another country other then the one we normally stayed in.

the next 7 days were time very well spent. disneyland with jj and gorgor, taking each day slowly, no rush, mama not having to worry about the loads of work waiting for me in the office. mama was determined to spend quality time with you. even engineered time for papa to go out with wai meng gor-gor!! heehee =) we also got to meet up with cheng-yi, fay fay jj and uncle simon!

God has been really kind to us sarah! indeed so so blessed!

you were singing for a while. i pretended to sleep so that i can hear you somemore =)

you found out that i was pretending, you played along...we giggeld and laughed.

then mama suddenly felt sad agian...

" ...mama is sad..." i confided in you.

you turned around and gave me a bright cheerful smile, with a hint of worry. mama was consoled. sorry to worry you, my little star.

we went to church. you bahaved real well.

you are indeed our blessing, church carpark, singapore

brand new year

new year, 2007

we were in KL. we had a party at dai-yi's place (30/1/06). it was wonderful. as every streamed into he house, filling up the hall with laughter...drowning the ''chaos'' in the kitchen...mama counted our blessings. the fact that so many love ones gathered and celebrated.

independence - starting a little early huh??
you want to do things by yourself. wearing your shoes. ''shopping'' - puting a garment (with hanger) next to your body...smile in contantment.
holding on to the house keys, open the door, the gate, the letterbox!
you continue to insist on eating on your own, because you discovered the joy of choosing what to be put into your mouth. even when using the chopsticks is beyond you.

mama wondered "...sigh! is she growing up that fast??!"

sarah, you are wonderful!
