My blog is gathering
cobwebs! Just so I dust off some of the
cobwebs, here’s an update on my 6.5-year old.
She has a love-hate relationship with her sister. She can be ultra-protective at times – when Yan Yan misbehaves and we scold/threaten her with a cane, and we ignore her cries, Yiu Yiu will get extremely upset and sometimes would even cry along with her, pleading for us to forgive her. But she sometimes finds Yan Yan annoying nonetheless, and exclaims “She’s so annoying!” especially when Yan Yan wants whatever that she’s playing with.
One of the occasions when mei-mei didn't demand for what jie-jie was playing with
She’s prone to throwing tantrums when she’s tired, and since she entered Primary 1, it’s been rather frequent unfortunately, since she leaves the house at about 8am, and doesn’t get home until 12 hours later. The poor girl must be so exhausted by the time she gets home.
She loves sending me sms whenever I travel for work, with sweet nothings like “Mummy, I miss you”, “Mummy, I love you” etc. Or she would draw something for me to bring along on my work trips, so that it will remind me of her whenever I look at the drawings.
She’s becoming more
conscientious with her homework, and would sometimes try to complete them at
school in between periods, or after dinner at mum’s place while waiting for me
to come home from work. Once she was
totally knackered and fell asleep right after her shower, only to wake up just
before midnight with the realization that she hadn’t completed her
homework. Though I reassured her that
she can continue sleeping and complete the homework the next day at daycare,
she refused and woke up to complete them before going back to sleep. She will remember to inform me whenever she
has spelling/ejaan/ting xie so that I can practice with her. She normally has no problem with her spelling
and ejaan, but needs more help with ting xie.
That’s the
positives, and the negatives include being unsure occasionally what homework needs
to be completed. I’ve given her her
kindy homework pouch to bring to school, and she knows that she needs to place
all homework inside the pouch, and yet sometimes she doesn’t. She also has a “homework book” where she’s
supposed to write down the list of homework and words for ejaan/spelling/ting
xie but alas, that book is not utilized.
She prefers to write the words for ejaan/spelling/ting xie in sheets of
paper torn from notebooks, which has a tendency to go missing. I’ve lost count of the times I had to call her
classmates for help, to reconfirm the homework as well as words for
ejaan/spelling/ting xie :-(

Look like Yiu Yiu & Yi Hao are Mommy's kids.......one smsed sweet nothing and write sweet notes to Mommy while Yi Hao writes 'diary' for Mommy :)
LOL...my books blog also gathering dust.
Chanel - indeed she is.
WK - absolutely. Gotta cherish them while they still wanna write/say sweet nothings to us.
smallkucing - go wipe off the dust :-)
love how she write notes to you. It's not easy to adapt to P1 changes. It took a while for Faythe to adjust.
Hi, good that she is diligent with her homework... Vic used to do her homework hurriedly in between classes, until I realize that her writing is so orrendous I erased it off and told her to redo, or do it at home. For ejaan and ting xie, everything is written in the message book. Does the class teacher practice differently?
Was waiting for updates on your blog, and wow, suddenly so many!
Jazz - she took a while to adjust too. In the beginning, she was often not sure of what homework to do, words for ting xie/ejaan etc.
Irene - yeah, sometimes Yiu Yiu's writing is horrendous too, and similarly, I would erase them and asked her to do again :-) She has a message book but I don't think the teacher enforces the rule to copy everything into the message book so sometimes she missed out.
