My Christmas...

On Christmas Eve, we were supposed to go for a movie but all the tickets were sold out. Since the movie was cancelled, daddy decided to go for a buffet at the restaurant next door. We ate to our hearts content at the buffet. After the buffet, daddy drove us to Orchard Road to see the Christmas lights up.

On Christmas morning, we wished each other "Merry Christmas''. We gave everyone cards that we made too. We met up with our grandparents and went to East Coast for lunch. After a delicious lunch, we went to our favourite place, Ikea's small land. In the evening, our grandpa and aunt came over and we ate Christmas dinner together. Mommy made stuffed turkey, salad, sausages and baked scallop. After dinner, we unwrapped our presents.

On the second day of Christmas, we fetched our cousin and went to Peek- A-Boo to meet my K2 friends. See the photo? We did not show our front teeth because all of us has our 2 front teeth missing!! hahaha.

In the evening, our maternal grandmother and aunts came over for a BBQ. After the BBQ, daddy bought us some ice-cream. Jie Jie shared with us some of her Gobstopper.

I had a wonderful Christmas because I had lots of presents and had the chance to meet up with my Kindergarten friends!

A Day At The Discovery Centre

This morning, daddy fetched us to church. When everyone arrived, we got on the bus. It took us half and hour to reach our destination, the Discovery Centre. It was very very big. A lady was there to guide us.

First, she told us about the olden days. Then, she took us to watch a 10 minutes movie. It was nice. Before lunch, we watched a movie called "Call Of The Wild." It was very interesting and I hope to watch it again.

After lunch, we went to the army museum. When the helicopter spins, it's propeller creates very strong wind. Next, the taller ones got to play some gun shooting while we, the shorter ones made some badges. We also talked to the "talking robot". After that, we had a lucky draw I picked up an orange ball and I won a toy! Jie Jie did not win anything. When the others are back, we went on to watch "A Christmas Carol". What a coincident! Daddy and mommy brought us to watch the same show just the night before!

We had tea before going back. We were so tired that Jie Jie and I fell asleep in the bus. A great but tired outing.

Fellowship Day Camp

One of those days after exam, I went to the library to borrow books and remembered about the Fellowship Day Camp form. I took one home and asked mummy if I could go. Mummy agreed and signed the form. She reminded jiejie to take care of me during the camp. After a few days, our principal gave us a piece of paper that tells us what time to go and what things we pack.

On the day itself, we were to report at nine o' clock. I was excited about it because I knew many of my friends will be coming too. When I reached there, I saw my teachers and friends. I told them my name and they told me which group I was in. I was in.... ~PAUL~!!! After knowing everyone, we played some games like Passing the parcel and Simon says. After the games, we went for our morning tea, lunch and afternoon tea. In the afternoon, we went to the library to make our name tags. Mine was a flower with rectangles and a little bunny inside. It was so beautiful!!! I am so happy!!! After that, we went back to the hall and we sang songs and played games before we called it a day.

On the second day, we had bible lessons and practise for a play. My play was about Saul. I played the role of the disciple At first, he was a mean person. Then one day, he was walking on the streets when a light shone down. It was God!!! Saul fell down because the light was so bright. God talked to Saul about God's people and asked him why he was so mean to them. After talking, Saul got up. When he got up, he was blind!!! Saul went to a temple to pray. He did not eat or drink for a few days. God called to one of his people to go to the temple that Saul was praying in. The person went to him and said, "get up." Saul got up and he could see again!!! He ate and drank and got back his strength. He was now part of God's people.

On the third day, we were to report half an hour earlier to rehearse before the actual performance. After the performance, we had our lunch followed by games. We also played passing the parcel. When you have the parcel, you have to tear it open and you have to do what is stated inside. I had the parcel once and they said "turn around and around like a ballerina" which I did it. We ended our 3 days camp with songs.

Year End Holistic Report Card

We got back our Report book today and I was very happy.

For both my English and Maths, I am among the top 25% students..Yeah! But need to work hard for my Chinese. I only got 94% for it.

Teacher's comments was that I am very actively involve in class discussions and I communicates confidently and seek clarification when I'm in doubt. Mrs Tse also mentioned that I am able to substantiate my opinions with mature thoughts.

7th Birthday Party @ Snow City

What a long wait! Finally my birthday party is HERE!!

Plans for the party were made 2 months back. I had initially wanted to have my birthday party at Sentosa (The Luge) but mommy said its not feasible as no parents will want to go all the way there. Mommy suggested Snow City instead. After some deep consideration, I agreed.

And it was a good choice indeed. All my friends couldn't wait to come and some even pester their mommies to change their initial plans just to come for the party.

The party starts at 3pm and most of my friends were punctured. It was a little disorganised in the beginning as we have to get down from the function room to change into our "winter" gear. Imagine having close to 30 kids rushing to the counter to get their winter boots and jackets?!

But the Snow City's host quickly get everything running smoothly and those that had changed into their gear couldn't wait to get in the Snow Chamber.

Just before going in, we took some pictures.

Surprisingly, for a public holiday (Hari Raya), there were very few people in the Snow Chamber. Thus, no long queue for the slide at all! However, it was very cold in there and after half an hour, most of us took turns to come out for some warm air.

Mommy did not come in with us but occasionally, she will dash in to take a few quick photos for us. Think mommy got a lot of fats in her as she did not even need to put on any jacket and can stay in there for 5 minutes!

After one hour of snow play in the Snow Chamber, we proceeded to the function room for more games. The games were quite standard. We had Musical Chair; Musical Statue...

We are a sporting bunch and it surprised the host! He told mommy after the party that this is the first time everyone participate in the games and gamed for "face" painting!

After all the running and jumping, time for a simple buffet.

Mommy said she like this picture.

After the buffet, those that finished get to have their hand painted, though not very professionally done. The guy can't paint dolphin which disappoint many.

Finally, Birthday cake was out! I had a hard time choosing this cake 2 months back! Its a Tinkle bell theme from Cupcake Divinity. Mommy was glad she planned earlier this year as they were fully booked right after mommy made the booking.

My friends were all so excited at the cake, actually more of the cupcakes. They couldn't wait to choose which cupcake they want which comes with either a Tinkle bell ring or the figurine.

The cupcakes were for my friends while the big cake is for all the parents.

Its so difficult to take a family picture as all my friends couldn't wait to take the cupcakes! The host has to "bluff" them away by saying more handing painting is on.

This are the gifts mommy and I chose. Its so popular that once mommy brought them out and laid on the table, everyone came and check them out. The host had to request them to put it back first. The Spy pen was in such great demand that those classmates that couldn't make it also want it. They went to the bookshop during recess and buy me a gift so that they can have the Spy pen!

I had my hand painted after the party was over, as I was too busy with the cake cutting and all that.

So happy to receive so many presents. And this year, all the presents are so practical. Thank you everyone!

Roller Blading with Cousins

This morning, dad & mom brought us to McDonald's for breakfast. After that, we went back to do some work before mommy rushes us off to meet yiyi at Swensen for lunch. Jiejie did not get to eat any ice-cream as she had to go for her piano lesson.

After our ice-cream, yiyi drove us to meet mommy and jiejie. We drove in separate cars to East Coast Park and we couldn't wait to get our blades. The jiejie there helped me to put on the gears and blades. Once I fully geared, Mommy helped us to walk to the beginner skate box and we skated there for a while before we are confident enough to skate on the roller-blade path. Its more fun skating on the path as we get to see more things.

After 2 hours of skating, we had wanted to play at the carnival but it started to rain and thus, we have to go home.

Though I fell a few times and its painful, but I enjoyed my day out with my cousins.

Ice-skating with LZ

This morning, mommy brought us to Ice-Skating at Kallang. I was very happy that LZ will be joining us too.

We got our skates and mommy helped me to put it on. Its very difficult to walk with the skates. Mommy asked me to use the metal bar to skate. After skating a few rounds, I was more confident and I went without it. I fell a few times, once on my head but I didn't cry. Mommy told me to be careful.

After 2 hours of skating, we went to the food court to have our lunch. Next, we went to LZ's house and then to Parkway for Swensen. Jeijei and I ordered Thin Mint while L ordered her favourite Chocolate. We had so much fun eating and talking.

I asked mommy if we can come again and she said we will do it again the next school holiday.
