Happy Birthday, Evan

Happy 13th birthday to our precious Evan. We did not plan to have a celebration (as agreed), but in the end due to certain circumstances, we made a last minute decision to buy a cake and also a birthday present for you. 

We hope that you will grow up to be a happy and healthy boy and that you will always lead a blessed life.

A Visit to the Dentist

Today the three of you had an appointment with the dentist. I had seen him earlier and didn't want to have mine checked. So this round, daddy went first, followed by Ko-ko. Ko-ko's teeth got the green light from the dentist. They both got sunglasses, I guess to keep out the glare. I wondered how you would be able to wear it since your face was so small.
To my surprise, when it was your turn they gave you a kiddy sunglasses to wear. So after a check, the dentist explained that on of your top from tooth had a hole, but since it would be falling off soon, there was no need to fill it up. And you had new molars erupting soon. This was followed by a quick clean up and you were done. 

Ballet Exams

This would be your first ballet exam, the PPID exam. We had to wake up early enough for you to eat your breakfast and for me to tie up your hair. The exam time was 9.55a.m. but we needed to arrive an hour before exam time. All of your friends had their hair done by the school. Aiya... I didn't think about it. Note to self: next time have them do it for you!! They did help to touch up and neaten your hair (read: add a lot of gel to hold down your baby hair).

And soon it was time to line up at the door, to await being called into the "exam room". All the excited parents took the opportunity to photograph our kids.. 

In no time, the exam was over and we headed home. We had lunch at Queensbay, continued with ice-cream then headed hom.
That evening, we went off for a movie and the busy day was over. 

Mock Ballet Exam

Parents were shown what you children have been practicing for the ballet exam which falls on the 17th March. You started the lesson as usual with your practices. Then we were all allowed into the studio to watch.

Report Card Collection Day

Today is report card collection day. We headed to school without the both of you. I think that is a better way so that the teacher can tell us exactly what has been happening and yet you are not around to listen and possibly get impacted by the feedback.

Anyway our adventure started in the Multi-Purpose Hall. We waited for our turn to speak to Miss Shirley. Marking seems to be tough. Daddy noticed that you lost marks just because you forgot your punctuation marks. Generally feedback for you is ok, except that you get easily distracted and like to talk.. (sigh...)

Then we headed to the Chapel to see Mr. Lew. Waited for a while for the parent before us to finish. Feedback was ok for you. Also that you like to talk in class... sigh.. two "cakap banyak". As your ICT and DT wasn't too good and the teachers (who sat side by side) were available, I sat down to talk to them to find out what is going on. I would say that you need more effort in the CA and projects and hopefully you will take my advise on discussing with me on the projects. 

After all that.. daddy and I needed to unwind.... too.. much.. stress... *grin*
