Its results time!

Hao finally got back his report book yesterday. The moment he stepped down from the schoolbus, he told me he had got his report book back. With much anticipation and excitement, I opened up the report book right after we reached home. His results were within my expectations, although I was hoping it will be much better than what I was looking at. Nevetheless, he has done a good job this year, not just on his academic but being able to blend into the school and friends, getting used to primary school life as well as learning to manage expectations and stress that are being loaded to him throughout the year. Overall, I must say he has done a good job. Of course, that being aside, I told him that I will be expecting more next year since it will be his 2nd year and he already know what to be expected and what he has to do to be consistent throughout the year to achieve the results that we set for him. Let's just see what will come for him next year, 2010~

The Christmas Spirit!

It had been raining for quite a few days. Not the kind of heavy downpour, but rather wet and drizzle and stop and drizzle again and stop again and drizzle again kinda raining days. It made the weather very cooling and warmish all together at the same time. Ironic huh? The rain is making the air very cooling and windy at some times, making me want to curl up in my warm bed with a cuppa tea and of course my laptop and tv remote control, surfing net or watching tv all day long...Of course, that's my own little wish! Reality is that I have 3 monkeys with me all day long and with plenty of housework and cooking to do! Good thing is that exams are over and we are more lax with Hao's homework now and just doing our regular reading. I am also starting to coach Ee on his chinese writing and hope he picks it up over the holidays and get a better headstart in chinese than Hao did when he was younger. We always learn from our mistakes and I didn't have time to pay more attention to Hao's work when I was working back then, so I am trying to make up for that and get Ee to start earlier.

Ee can be considered fully recovered from the accident. His scar is no longer painful and he's behaving like normal. Only paranoid mummy here constantly asking him not to scratch or rub his wound, so afraid that it'll tear. The truth is that it isn't going to tear again and it's not hurting him anymore. We remind ourselves to massage him after every bath and also prevent his scars from getting too dried or too much sun. We can just hope for the best now. So here's how he looks now...

Back to the December rain and Christmas spirit. Have I mentioned that Dec is my favourite month of the year and Christmas is my favourite holiday? Well, that's because Dec is full of rainy and cooling days which make me feel lazy and cold and warmish all together, and Christmas is the holiday season that you can feel the spirit of giving and receiving all around you! Everywhere, everyone is getting presents for their loved ones and it's just so joyous and warm. Of course, there's also plenty of holidays during year end, and a lot of anticipation for the new year, and a lot of shopping for CNY clothes, new school year stuff, bonuses to look forward to (not me anymore), making resolutions for the new year etc. I don't think I need to say any more LOL. It's absolutely my favourite time of the year!!

Survied Year 1!

Exams are finally over! I can't believe that we actually survived year 1 in primary school LOL. Hao scored quite well for his exams, although we felt that he could had done better, I think he did try his best. Now we are just waiting for his report book and the school holidays to come. But if you are thinking we are relaxing at home, you are quite wrong. He still has to do his daily readings of English and Chinese books and in school, class tests and spelling tests are still ongoing. So, everyday you'll still see him doing work and reading. Of course, his workload is much lighter than before the exams.

Ee is finally cleared of his plaster days. He had his doctor review on Monday and the doctor said that his wound/scar is healing well. Now he needn't use the plaster anymore and can leave the scar exposed. However, he will need to apply sun block to the scar whenever we are out so that the sun will not hurt his scar or darken it further. It will be quite ugly to have a scar that's visibly darker than his skin, considering it's a rather long scar. We also need to apply aloe vera/vitamin E gel to his scar and massage it so that the tissue below his skin will not harden as it heal and end up with a centipede like kinda scar bump. Must really do this diligently so that he'll become handsome again HEHEHE...

Will post photo of how Ee looks now later when I am free!
