He loves barbequeing

Until the day we had our first barbeque at our home with family member, I never knew W is patient enough to sit at the scorching hot pit to grill yummy food. And, he wasn't stingy at all. He grilled not for himself, he offered to people around him.

He was at the pit long enough to be called a patient boy, unlike Mummy who despises the pit,especially when it comes to satisfying her hunger pangs. His rosy cheeks testified how long he was at the pit and notice he looked rather bored?

He makes me realise something. He is more patient than I think he is.

He likes details

As soon as he gets permission from his daddy to draw on the discarded business cards, he wasted no time. He diligently drew on the back of the cards. And I thought he was scribbling on them. Little did I realise that he was tracing the path on the roadmap at the back of the cards.

According to Daddy, he was showing the roadmap to his 'shop'.

And he did that on the entire pack of cards in probably about three days. What intrigued him? Only he knows.

Happy Mother's Day

It is just less than 10cm. Even though I don't really like the way the card is done (the message was written in pencil and the card is not cut neatly), the message is so real. I do hope he means what he wrote about loving mummy.

Building a mosque

He incorporates so many details in this drawing. And I wonder why he drew a picture of people building a mosque and not other building. What inspired him? Let me find out more from him, if I can.

Excited on the first day

Instead of having tears and resist going to school, he was excited and looked forward to school, even though he denied liking school on the Sunday before school reopened. It's obvious from the picture that he missed his classmate.

Like all doting parents,we (W's daddy actually took leave to make sure he witnessed his son's first day (even though on his second year) at school) sent W to school. Taking him into the school hall for assembly, W insisted that I didn't hold his hand. But, when Daddy persisted, he relented.

Why would he feel shy that Mommy held his hands? But when Daddy held his hands, it's alright.

Drama school for the kid

This was what we have been waiting for since last year. After so many weekends of sacrificed sleep and long distance travelling, this is it. Not to mention, the days of FUN for W.

This certificate should be good enough as a stepping stone to build his language proficiency and confidence. Despite this, we are bidding farewell to Helen O'Grady as Daddy feels that Taman Tun is too far just for a drama class.

So,Mom gotta search for a nearer place for W.

Detained at 7!

He is breaking a new record in the family. Not just our family but in my extended family as well.

H was detained for not completing his homework while he was in Year 3. Now, W was detained for making too much of noise in Year 1. Last Friday's detention was his third time. According to him, he was punished because he walked over to his classmate's desk to talk. And he was detained together with 9 other boys. This one seemed to shock him the most as he was in tears as soon as he got into my car. After some coaxing, he told me that the teacher almost closed the classroom door while the boys were still being made to stay in the class.

His first and subsequent detention were due to his monitor copying down his name for talking.He was whining that he was just talking 'a little' and that the monitor was too mean and strict.

A good start in Maths

He got 92.5% for his first Olympics Mathematics assessment since he joined last month.

According to him, he tops his class which has less than 10 students. Whether he is the top or not, it doesn't really matter. Getting such a good score is a very encouraging start for him.

I hope it's not a fruitless move to sign him up in this class.
