It's been 1.5 week since 2010 started. There's been some changes around the house since the year started. Firstly, Hao had moved to his own room, which is previously the guests/spare room in the house. He moved to the big bed, had his own study table set up and has a whole wardrobe all to himself. It's part of telling him that he's grown up and will need his own space to do his stuff. Might seem a bit unfair to Ee and Min in future but too bad we only have 2 rooms for them to share and right now, Hao needs it more than them...Here's the look of his new room..
The bed is actually an improved version from his old bunk bed which we moved from the old house into the guest room. The study table set is a Kinderfun ergonomic table set which we got 2nd hand from our neighbour, who happened to want to sell it off for a nominal price. We got it real cheap compared to the new sets and it's really in a very good condition. The wooden toy box also came from the old house and we used it to keep Hao's toys in there since Day 1 and I didn't bear to throw it out when we moved. Now Hao can keep his school bag and other personal stuff in there and not throw it all around the room. My sis bought the CARS mat when she went to Hong Kong last year and Hao loved it and specifically wanted it to be in his room. Overall, Hao is very satisfied with his room and we are glad that he finally has his own space and a proper place to study (away from prying eyes of hubby lol). Hope this will help Hao do better in his studies this year.
Hao got into Athletics for his CCA this year. We were rather disappointed as his first choice was badminton, while Athletics was second choice. The timing is pretty bad on every thursday morning 8.50am to 10.30am. Will have to send him to and fro for his training every Thursday morning. By the time he gets back, he'll only have enough time to bath and have his lunch and then back to school again for lessons. We are not keen to let him stay in school after his training as we are not sure if he has any company and also he'll have to lug his athletic gear the whole day too. Will see how things go. For his swimming, the bad news is that his swimming coach has decide to stop giving lessons. So now we have to look for a new coach for him. He really enjoys his lessons and I saw that he wrote in his diary that he would love to continue his lessons and be a swimming champion one day. Am really glad that he, for once, has a passion in an activity (not counting Wii or computer games), so we will let him continue his lessons.
This year Ee is in K1. With him older, we wanted to enrol him in some extra lessons since Hao had attended lego lessons when he was Ee's age. Too bad the lego school has closed down when we enquired the last time. Ee is a good observer and thinker who can focus well in his work so we decided to put him into the JLTP lessons organised by his school. It's an one hour lesson after his class on friday, so we will fetch him later in school. It's basically a program which focus on teaching kids to think out of the box and use more creativity in their thinking than the normal school cirriculum. Hope he enjoys it and gain something from it...
