Teng Hong's 2009 First Semester Assessment Report

After three weeks of waiting, finally the assessment report was handed out to mummy at a teacher-parent meeting last week.

The test results are as follows:

• English : 100%
• Bahasa Malaysia : 99%
• Chinese : 93%
• Numbers : 70%
  

Teng Hong was quite corporative with mummy in doing revision for his first semester written assessment.

Though his numbers’ test is a bit below mummy’s expectation, mummy and daddy feel quite satisfied with his test results. According to his teacher, he was playing with his pencil and day dreaming while doing the numbers’ test. Later when it’s time up, he simply wrote the answers! That’s explained why he only scored 70% for that paper.

For skills which include gross motor skills, fine motor skills, work habits, social emotional skills and language skills, he is getting improvement and some of them are satisfied.

Teachers’ feedback: he has short attention span, can’t focus or concentrate in lessons (especially those he is not interested) and messy place (books and accessories are everywhere under his table).

Ah, this is my boy!

Mass Birthday Picnic at TTDI Park

This morning a group of June babies celebrated their birthday at Taman Tun Dr Ismail Park, Kuala Lumpur. There were thirteen kids in total and Xin Yi was among them. Located near the shallow stream, they did not only celebrate their birthday which was organized by demoments, but had fun playing water & sand as well.

It was indeed a perfect morning for family picnic! At first mummy was a bit worry when there was heavy rain in the morning just a day before, but thanks God, the mass birthday picnic turned out to be a wonderful event!

Happy Birthday to all June Babies!

Happy 3rd Birthday to you, my little princess!

Hard to believe but my baby girl turned 3 yesterday. Time really flies. It seems like just yesterday when she did entirely depend on me. Now, she has grown into an adorable little girl who is very talkative and helpful at times. She never fails to show me her intelligence and really fascinated me at the time she uses up to ten words in a sentence. She is only 3!

The only complaint I have is “her eating habit”. Just imagine, other than junk food, it takes her 1 hour or more to finish ½ bowl of rice. Any idea how to make her eat faster?

Last night we celebrated her birthday with immediate family at Chatter Box Restaurant, Bangsar Village. It’s indeed a Happy Birthday for her!

Apart from the above celebration, we will bring her for a Mass Birthday Picnic with a group of June Babies at TTDI Park this coming Sunday.

Six-Monthly Dental Check-Up (13th June 2009)

Yesterday the whole family had six-monthly dental check-up at Dr. Ng clinic, Subang Jaya.

Teng Hong is not scared anymore; he was the first one to get his teeth checked. Dr. Ng managed to fill up the cavity at his lower left secondary primary molar and as usual Dr. Ng gave him some stickers as a reward. By now all his first molar teeth have erupted which means we have to take extra care of his new permanent teeth. We don’t want him to get any cavity for those new teeth; the past bad experience has made him suffer so much!

Xin Yi was the next one to get her teeth checked. She gave us a surprise; without calling her, she climbed onto the dental chair by herself and opened wide her mouth to let Dr. Ng check and brush her teeth. Dr. Ng only managed to brush her lower teeth; she refused her to brush the upper part. However, that’s a good improvement. At the last visit, she even refused to sit at the dental chair!

After that was mummy’s turn and as usual, mummy only needed some scaling.

This time daddy decided to make dentures after a few years ignoring it. He accepted what Dr. Ng advised and recommended him and for this he needs to go back again next week.

Dinner @Pasta Zanmai, Mid Valley

Today after shopping around and let the kids played for an hour at Jusco Smart Wonderland, Megamall, Mid Valley, we had our early dinner at Pasta Zanmai, a Japanese Casual Pasta Restaurant. We never been to this restaurant; mummy who had no idea about the food just followed and let daddy choose the order.

Here are what we had:

Unagi Kabayaki to Onsen Tamago (Roasted Eel & Hot Spring Egg with Kabayaki Sauce), RM 19.00

Ebi Tempura no Gomadare Shitate (Prawn Tempura Pasta with Sesame Sauce), RM 29.00

Garlic Rice, RM 8.00

Ice Fruit Tea (Jug), RM 16.00

The kids liked the Ice Fruit Tea very much; they had it more than the main dishes. They didn’t really like the pasta and rice, they only ate the prawn, roasted eel and miso soup.

Mummy who was actually not in the mood to eat Japanese food would say it’s YUMMY! Just imagine mummy could finish the garlic rice, miso soup, the delicious salad and the kids’ portion (Prawn tempura pasta). As for daddy the taste was pretty good except the sesame taste which was a bit too strong for him. He ordered another bowl of garlic rice for himself after "income tax" a bit from mummy. :D
