Upset..

Just now got a call from Sebastian and his crying voice make my heart shank and soul disappear for a moment.  Then I quickly go to his school to check out what happen to him.  Luckily the distance from my office to his school is nearby can be reached within 15mins.

He told me that got had stomach ache and poo-ed on his pant because his music class teacher don’t allowed him to go toilet.  I brought Sebastian along to look for his music teacher but she’s not around.  I waited for 10mins but still can’t find her, and then I went to his class and speak to his classmates to check what exactly happen.  His classmates told me that this music teacher doesn’t allow any of the students go to toilet during her session.  What the heck man!!!  I went back to the office again, and still can’t find her, then another teacher approached me, I think she can sense my unhappiness and my hokkien me face, she is Penolong Pengetua.  Then I follow her to her office and tell her what exactly happen.  And this Penolong Pengetua told me that this teacher is like that, everytime do wrong thing but don’t admit and she still can be a teacher?  I told her I don’t care and I need an explanation from the teacher why she doesn’t allow the students to go to toilet?  Come on la… they a just a kids, how can you ask them to tahan till the session over and furthermore, Sebastian is having stomach ache.  I hope they can give me a good explanation after investigate it and I will demand for an apology from the music teach to my son.

Hello there....

Ohh…. I miss my blog so much! I haven’t touch it for so.. so.. long…. blame on my laziness.  I’ve been telling myself many times that I should keep this blog and continuously update it.

Sebastian is in Standard 2 now and exam is coming soon, I did not put him to tuition so I just do my best to coach him.  He has grown up so much now that I can’t carry him already.  I should have kick him to his room by now coz he still co-sleeping with us.. hehehehe

As for Sidney, she is in her final year of kindergarten and I’m so worried about her.  Teacher still complaining that she doesn’t want to speak up, even if she speak, teacher can’t hear what she trying to say until get her to repeat few times.

Just hope that both of them growth healthily.

NOT Happy Mid-Autumn Festival

When come to festivals, everyone is looking forward for gathering with friends and relatives where they sit down together and eat together and gossip together but not for me.

All these while, my dearest SIL n family joining us for dinner whatever festival we celebrated whether MIL cook or we go out makan-ing instead of her in-law. She told us that her MIL seldom cooks during festival even on eve of CNY. She has been eating together with us for many many years, lost count. I really don’t have any problem with it, the more the merrier ma…. Rite!

So, last night she came and joins us for dinner as usual. Hubby and I came home late around 7.30pm because we went to buy duck ‘kar liew’. This is requested by MIL and they love to eat duck, so upon reaching home, I saw SIL’s car and I asked hubby, will they start eating already without waiting for us? Hubby told me they won’t la, sure will wait for us one. Sure enough when I get down from the car, I saw them eating happily and I am very very upset and angry too. My unhappiness shown on my face while walking toward dining table and they said the kids are hungry. Yes, I wouldn’t mind if the kids are eating but you all adults are eating too. At least, have a courtesy to call us and tell us, right or not. We are not going shopping and purposely come home late and it’s only 7.30pm not that 8.30pm or 9.00pm.

This Mid-Autumn festival is not happy for me anyway… forget about it la!

When we reached home, that two monster can’t wait to play lantern, actually not the lantern that interest them… it’s the candles. They play happily and we have to clean their mess unhappily… hahahaha

Chicken Pox

School holidays are over and I’m back to routine, wake up early in the morning to prepare Sebastian and Sidney for school until next school holidays… lol

During the last school holidays we were supposed to going back to Penang but were called off as Sebastian infected with chicken pox. Luckily it was school holidays so he doesn’t have to skip classes for so many days… and today he went to school already.

So, we spent our school holidays staying at home watching TV, playing games and doing workbooks.

Sebastian teaching Sidney

Seeing impatience Sebastian teaching Sidney... so funny! Hubby said just like mummy... so impatience when teaching. LOL!!

From Sebastian

This lovely card was from Sebastian, thanks my dear son!

Backdated: Sebastian's Birthday

A little backdated post about Sebastian, he celebrated his 6th birthday on 6th Mar. We just went for makan-makan with in-laws and bought cake for him to celebrate at school.

He grown up so fast and I realize that I’m getting old edi. :)

Cake he insisted to buy to celebrate at school same like last year

Another cake we bought to celebrate at in-law house

Lack of confidence??

I realized that Sebastian lack of confidence when come to competition, the first competition he had was Taekwando competition held last month. It was OK when we were on the way to the venue and he himself looking forward for it too. When we reached the venue he still look happily until we stepped into the hall. He started to pull back and cried. I talked to him and console him then his teacher came and had a word with him too.

Then when come to his turn he do not want to stepped in and cried even the master and his friend console him and his teacher too go and get him vitagen to bribe him. It does not work, so I ran towards him and talk to him too and tell him that I’ll bring him to Mega Kidz if the stopped crying and go for the competition. I even told him you don’t have to win and I just want you to step in the fighting ring. I tried many methods to bribe him but it unsuccessful. So I gave up and told the teacher to disqualified him.

At that moment, I’m really disappointed not that he did not win, but he didn’t even go and try. The next day, we talked to him and asked him what is the reason he pull back, he told us that he scare and have lots people at that time, then hubby explains to Sebastian what does competition means and have a clear picture for him on the environment of the competition this and that. He nodded that he understand the terms of competition and promise that he will go ahead and won’t be scare anymore.

Then come to Piano competition last Saturday at his centre among the centre students only and closed door where few teachers as the judges and parents. They grouped into few groups and Sebastian was in second group and it’s consisted of 8 – 10 students. Again, we talked to him everyday and even the day before his competition for him to prepared. He looked happily and said to us he will understand and won’t scare. So, when we reached the centre that evening, he looks calm and ask lots of question, but when come to his turn where teacher ushers the students and parents to the room, he started to look nervous and can see tears in his eyes. Again, he pull back and told us he do not want to enter the competition. I can tell you at that moment, I am really angry and disappointed, I did not talk to him, I know I shouldn’t behave like that but I can’t control myself. I let hubby take over and I went out to take a deep breath.
Is he really lack of confidence but if really no confidence at all, he still performance perfectly during the concert time. What had made him act like this? I really have no idea and scratching my head now. Is there any classes to built up confidence or should I enter more and more competition for him to get rid of his fear inside him.

Sebastian's School Progress in Pre-2

Sebastian progress in Pre-2 getting slightly better and he did OK on his exam. He did very well on his Mandarin paper although is not 100% but I’m happy with the results he got. The poorest was Bahasa Melayu, his teacher mentioned he need to brush up his Bahasa Melayu. I know I have not put 100% effort on guiding or teaching him, so I told myself next year I really need to put extra effort on him if not, I’m afraid he can’t catch up when he is in Pri 1 the following year as we have registered him in Chinese School.

I heard a lot of comments on good and bad about Chinese School with loads of homework and pressure. I’m telling myself not to push as hard on him as I do not want him to get pressure on study at very young age.

His teacher commented on the progress report “Sebastian has a good learning attitude. He has shown responsibility through his neat work. He needs more practices and encouragement in Bahasa Melayu”.

So, this school holidays I bought few workbooks for him to do at granny house, I know school holidays he supposed to be enjoy and not to do all these, as I know he will be watching the idiot box from morning till we back in-law house to fetch them. So, I rather keep him busy in doing workbooks and at the same time he can practice BM.

School Holidays Programme

This year Holiday Programme organized by the kindi abit disappointment not much of activities as compared last year this and this. This time round they were brought to Angkasawan at Subang and Cosmo Theme Park at Time Square; the rest of activities was at school inclusive of swimming, art & craft and baking session.

This time round he brought back few doughnuts and left two for hubby and me. But we did not even touch it, aheemm… u know la from the look already one kind so i really don't dare to toucht it ended these two doughnuts wallop by Sebastian. It’s seems he like it so much… ^_<

Kindie.....

I have finally enrolled Sidney into the same kindie as Sebastian currently attending. I’m longing to enroll her into this kindie but hubby wanted Sidney to go kindie together with his kor kor, so his kor kor can take care of her. So I give in for next year but the following year I will change her kindie as I really felt the current kindie Sebastian is attending is getting bad to worst. The teacher turnover is so high when he was in Pre-1 and when he in Pre-2 so far no changes of her class teacher but found teacher were sleeping in the classroom. Next year would be Pre-3, hopefully it would be a good one.

At first I wanted to change his kindie but seem next year would be his final year and he does not wish to change so I just let go. Do not want him to be so upset and get himself fit into new environment again.

Again not to miss out the Holiday Camp organized by his kindie, I’ve enrolled him too, since the last Holiday Camp he likes it so much. Managed to get one of the teacher to transport him so no worry for me now. BTW, he got another field trip next week, he will be going to Aquaria, actually am planning to bring him there during the school holidays, since he is going soon then I can save the trip. :P

A Busy Saturday

Last Saturday we were celebrating Sidney birthday and at the same times Sebastian is having his kindie concert. Everything was so rush, luckily there is my mom, sister and in-law helping out.

Sebastian’s kindie concert was held at 4pm at Hulu Langat one of the private school and we have to send him to the venue by 2.30pm for the preparation and we parent was directed to canteen where refreshments was served, and of coz this school won’t be missed out the opportunity to introduce their facilities to the parents too.

The concert start on time and finished at 6.30pm, should have ask the permission from the teacher to let Sebastian leave earlier but this was not pop in my mind at that time. After collected Sebastian, we have rush home luckily from Hulu Langat back to our home not that far. By the time we reached home is about 7.30pm coz we went to collect Sidney’s birthday cake and everyone was started to eat.

Although we were so rush that day but everything seems to worth it coz of them ~ Sebastin n Sidney, my precious stone.

Breakfast Bento #2

This is my 2nd creation of simple breakfast, they loved it!

Sebastian @ Kindie

My in-law was complaining to me that someone took Sebastian’s eraser not once but more than ten erasers gone with the wind. So when I reached home I asked Sebastian, where does all the erasers went to? He said that the girl sitting beside her took it and did not return it to him and this same girl taken most of his erasers. Then I asked him did he told his teacher about it, nope, coz teacher very fierce.

So, this morning I drop by the kindie and went into his class and when I stepped I saw his teacher was taking a nap, then I knocked the door and she quickly wake up. Don’t this a bad idea taking a nap in front of so many kids and some more in the classroom.

Then I told her what happen and at the same time that little girl walk into the class, so the teacher call her in front and asked her. She said no she did not take and teacher took her bag and check and found one eraser belong to Sebastian, and the rest of erasers don’t where it gone to.

After that, she explained to me why she talks very fierce to Sebastian. It’s because Sebastian’s very talkative, disturbed other kids when he finished his exercises, walking around in the classroom and some times disappeared from class when teacher walk out for 5mins and come and found him at toilet or other’s class *fainted*. Teacher told me that Sebastian is a smart boy he know what teacher is teaching him is just that he cannot sit still in one place and need to move around.

When her was in P1 his teacher telling me the same thing already, after he finished his exercises he likes to walk around and disturb his classmate. Now he is in P2 and he still doing the same thing. I wonder whether is this a sickness/hyperactive kid. Need to find out more.

Last Weekend

Since my maid is here, although she is slow with her work but I got plenty of time with kids and hubby, furthermore, lesser yelling now, become more lovely mother and wife LOL!!

So, last weekend I prepared breakfast for kids and hubby, well for the kids one it’s a bit disappointed coz the eggs I’m using too small for the mould so it’s very deformed as well as the sausages is too huge so when I cut it, it’s like really out of shape. Well the kids like it so much and asked me to prepare again next time.

After the breakfast, they had Ribena ice pops which they waiting eagerly since Friday night. Then they had it again on Sunday which was mango flavour which I fresh squeeze from the mango I bought from supermarket.

They are looking forward for coming weekend to see what surprises I give them again LOL!

First Tooth Dropped

Sebastian tooth finally dropped. I do not know how does it happen as at that time I was working. Hubby told me that he was eating char siu rice and his teeth dropped with little bleeding. No pulling by mum and no seeing dentist.

Now, his second tooth is shaking, so waiting for it to drop by itself.

Shaky's Tooth

Last week Sebastian told me that his tooth is shaking and I just ignore him without checking it too. Last night he came to me again to shows his shaking teeth and I take a peep, then I saw two permanent lower permanent teeth coming out but the shaking ones yet to drop off.

Can u see there is actually two permanent teeth inside and the shaky's tooth on the outer part.

When I was young that time, my mom used to pull out my shaky tooth without visiting any dentist. But now, I dare not to extract Sebastian shaky teeth even hubby too. Maybe this weekend goes back to mom house and asks her to extract it or better to bring him to see dentist, yet to decide.

A Short Trip to Penang

How we spend our school holidays? Our initial planned was going to Malacca to visit n stay at my friend house (free stay, free meals everything free except petrol n toll – am I rite!) but it was called off due to hubby outstation trip, so we heading to North instead which is Penang. Hubby was in Ipoh then Penang.

I drove all the way from KL to Penang with three monkeys and my mom. Luckily they did not make a big fuss during the journey to Penang, if not I will throw them one by one out of the car. It’s quite tiring driving alone and I hope I did not get summon(s)… hehehe

It was raining when we reach Butterworth and the rest of the days were hot. Did not go anywhere on first day, rest n relax at aunt house. On 2nd day, we planned to go Bukit Bendera (more than 10yrs did not go there) but the cable car was closed so we head to Batu Ferringhi. At night was at Gurney Drive and heading back to Butterworth. 3rd day preparing to return KL and before heading back we went to my late grandfather house.

It’s was a short trip but the kids enjoyed.

Wordless Friday ~ Enjoying Their Milk...

Forgetful Mom, Forgetful Son

I’m really a forgetful mom and also wife, every time sure kena from hubby when he reminded me to remind him on some important thing. And I have one forgetful son at home too. o.O

For the past week since no maid I felt more absentminded. Every Thursday, Sebastian got gym class so he will wear his Sport’s wear. Last week he wore his school uniform coz I totally forgot and he only reminded me when we are on the way to his kindy and he ask me “Mummy, what day is today?” So, I told him “It’s Thursday”, and then he replied back “How come you din change Sport’s wear coz I got gym today”….. in my mind saying “Oh sh*t!!” and replied him “Oppss!! Sebastian, so sorry, mummy forgot about it, please explain to teacher saying mummy forgot already, ok!”

Today, it’s happen again, he asking me same question and I have same answered for him. Then he said “Mummy, why you every time forget… forget… forget one” O.O I told him that he also very forgetful and only told me at very last minutes.

Another incident happen last week, Sebastian reminded me to buy one fruit to bring to school as teacher wanna teach them on fruit. So, I said ok and I totally forgot about it until the following day on the way to In-law house, Sebastian quickly stand up and ask me did I buy fruit for him to bring to school? I silent for a second, and answer him that I’m going to market now and buy it, so I asked him what fruit he need to bring. He told me Papaya, so I ask hubby quickly make a turn to market to buy papaya. *pheewwwwww*

Hhmmm…. Need to ask hubby to buy Ginkgo for me already : P
