There are quite a few November boys in my family. They are my father-in-law and his two grandsons; another one is my brother’s son. So in November, normally we’ll be a bit busy celebrating a few birthdays.
Today is my father-in-law’s eighty-two year old birthday. We have celebrated it last Sunday at a nearby Chinese Restaurant. Father-in-law was so happy to see all the children and grandchildren (unfortunately one granddaughter couldn’t attend because of having fever). To share his happiness, he then gave RM10 to each of the grandchildren.
Surrounded by his grandchildren, he kept smiling while the cake cutting session.
Many happy returns of the day!

He is 7
Teng Hong turns seven today. We celebrated his birthday at Roast Duck Restaurant, Bangsar Village. It wasn’t a fun birthday party like the one he had at Kizsports & Gym last year but only a simple dinner with the family. Mummy knows that he is a bit disappointed. He questioned us a few times: “Why don’t we invite his friends to his birthday?”, “Why no people come to his birthday celebration?”
After dinner, he insisted to get a birthday present. Actually daddy has bought him an early birthday present last week. It was “Beyblade” which he recently likes very much. This was another one to add to his collection of Beyblades (“Powerful Spinning Tops”). His first Beyblade and its stadium was bought last month while he was having his final exam, but we only let him play after his exam over.
Before we went home, he also insisted to buy a birthday cake.
At seven, his weight is 26.2kg and height is 124cm. He still drinks milk 300ml, once a day. Since early November he has stopped using milk bottle (another new milestone). He loves curry and garlic very much.
Beside Beyblade, he is still interested in balloon, toy car, Ultraman and Ben 10. When he is on the road, he likes to spot cars and told us the names. He likes to look at car pictures in the magazine or on the internet, and tells us that he wishes he could have Ferrari, hehehe…
His ability to recognize and memorize the cars is really outstanding!
Happy 7th Birthday to you, Teng Hong and also to your friend, Ashley!

So tonight, daddy bought him a comic as his other birthday present instead of Ben 10 new Omnitrix which costs RM 129.xx. He then chose “Billy Batson and The Magic of Shazam” comic. Reading comic books is one of his hobbies.

His Primary One Performance
Last Thursday Teng Hong came back with his school report card. I am quite happy to see his Primary One result. Despite that he suffers ADHD (Attention Deficit Hyperactive Disorder), he still managed to pass all the subjects. He even scored 95% for English subject. Others are ranged from 59.75% to 96%. He gets an average rank in the class, 28 from 48 students.
Keep up the good work, boy!
Mummy hopes you can be better next year.
All this while, his teachers complained that he couldn't concentrate during the lessons; his attention span is extremely short. He was seated alone right at the front of the class, next to teacher for a few months. He was kept “under the nose” of teachers.
While doing his exam, he was not able to concentrate too. One of his teachers said she had to call him many times to remind him to do his exam until she had to stand near him.
A few times when I went to pick him up early from his class, I could see instead of facing the teachers who was teaching in front of the class, he looked at something at the back or did some other things.
During his Tae Kwan-Do class he is not able to focus too. I can see him looking around while practicing. But I must admit that he is now much better than two years ago. A parent also told me about that.
Talking about homework, he hardly copied back the homework list; luckily his school provides a website for parents to check it online. Homework is something really tortures him; he will nag or cry every time I ask him to do. It takes him a few hours to start doing it no matter how we motivate him. Daddy even offers him RM1 if he can finish his homework before 6.00PM. He wants the money so much because we only give him pocket money once in a while when he did something really good or when he gets all correct in his spelling test. However, he could only get daddy’s offer less than 5 times for this whole year.
He had trouble in copying his homework from whiteboard. Most of the time, he couldn’t able to copy it all. Sometimes he even didn’t copy at all. I couldn’t figure out why? His therapist said that he will help me to assess him in this case.
Though he completed his homework daily with mummy’s guidance, he always didn’t hand-in his homework. Afraid I will scold him, he left them in his school desk’s drawer. There was once I spot-checked to his class and found out that he left 18 textbooks, workbooks and exercise books there. Just imagine!
He is very much disorganized. I think he is the messiest student in the class and in the school. Books and accessories are all over the desk and floor. According to teachers, when they asked him to pick up, he will take his sweet time to pick or sometimes he even didn’t pick up. Just imagine he lose 4 or 5 boxes of color pencils, dozens of pencils and erasers, a few sharpeners, rulers, textbooks, exercise books, wallets, etc in a year.
There was once I followed him quietly to his class and saw his school bag lying down on the floor near the classroom’s door. Instead of put it at his seat, he just simply put down and went to see his friends playing badminton. *slap head*
Everyone who entered the classroom should walk aside to avoid stepping on his bag.
Almost every day he came back with a very dirty knees, face and uniform. I have to use the shower brush to help him clean the knees. I guess he must be crawling on the ground.
Since there are so many complaints from teachers regarding his poor concentration and some other problems, like: slow movement, poor hand-eye coordination, etc., last August I managed to get an appointment with a Psychiatrist. He was diagnosed with ADHD Inattentive type.
Last month he started his therapy at a “Terapi Cara Kerja” to train him to be more focused. With this monthly therapy plus home training, I hope that he will have significant improvement in this near future. I really hope he can outgrow the disorder soon.
School holidays starts today, Teng Hong is so happy and has been asking for his birthday present. Soon he will turn SEVEN!

Our October 2010 Diary
5th October- 22th October 2010
Teng Hong had his school exam (PKBS 4). There were 14 papers in three weeks time. At the last day of his exam, he woke up at 5.00am and complained that he felt uncomfortable. He had mild fever; mummy fed him Paracetamol, later the fever subsided. Since there was no more fever mummy sent him to school.
He cried when mummy picked him up after school, he said he vomited. He also could not finish doing his Chinese test paper. Poor boy!
16th October 2010
Xin Yi had her school year end and the six years old graduation concert. She was so excited. She participated in 4 years old group dancing; the song was “Tie a Yellow Ribbon”. It’s a nice song.
Xin Yi was awarded “Best Reader Award” for her class.
Daddy and mummy are very proud of you.
Keep up the good work, girl!
In the afternoon, we attended daddy’s company Family Day held at “Kelab Golf Sultan Abdul Aziz Shah”. There were games, clown magic show, playground and swimming pool. The kids had so much fun.
