Back to School

Child, Parenting, Preschool, School-study

Keatkeat ended his nursery class. In this new year, my big boy is in Kindergarten 1. According to the teacher, there will be some big changes. They are required to learn to read 4 selected books all by themselves by the end of May!

How times have changed?! I remember I was almost 7 years old before I could do that! Kids are learning so much more, even for Keatkeat’s age of 4, as compared to our times.

The teacher continues to scare the kids by saying that there will be more homework in K1 as compared to Nursery, so be prepared to study, study and study….awwww…so boring! There should always be a balance in everything, shouldn’t it? Kids are kids, they still need time to play, don’t they. My heart-aches for the children of today’s world.

Is your child facing some sort of stress from school? I can totally understand that, man!

Happy New Year

Child, Special Moments

2007 has not been really good, be it from the fengshui point of view or personal experiences…

May 2008 be a year full of wealth, health, happiness and successes big or small, I WANT THEM ALL! do I sound too desperate? Yes I am desperate! Its the new year so I shouldn’t rake up the past and all the soapy stuff.

My kids’ wishes for the New Year:-

Binbin :”I want lunch.” (huh?) I guess I have been starving my 2-year-old too often in year 2007.

Keatkeat :”I want lots of cars.” (ya…..) I guess to a car-crazy-boy like Keatkeat, even the 30+ cars that is making a house look more like a car-showroom, is still too few. I don’t think even a 100 cars is a satisfaction number for him.

So may the New Year brings lots of joy to you and your family!

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!
