Charlie's art & craft in school (jan 11)

After each semester, charlie's school will return the worksheet and craft works she did in school. I will selected a few (or rather most of them) and paste it on her wall. Decided to take a pic of it and upload on the blog for memory sake. YY was a bit jeolous when he said why I did not paste his art work on the wall previously. In fact I did but he could not remember and as usual they got dusty, tore off or replaced after a year or so.

Yuan yuan 8th birthday (29 jan 11)

Celebrated yy's birthday with Famous Amos cookies at home.

He had earlier one round of celebration in school in a loud "bang", with goodies bags for his classmates and his daddy and ye ye went down during recess with cake for the whole class and form teacher. Actually he was hesitating whether to go ahead with the school celebration as he dont want to give goodies bag to those not well behaved kids in school. Nonetheless, we managed to "persuade" him to go ahead due to peer pressure, more like on the parents than himself.

ps: more than half of his classmates will distribute goodies bags during birthday and some of the boys like to give him stationeries they bought or brought to school. As I discouraged him to buy stationeries and give away in school. This is a little gesture to reciprocate back.

(Oops pic captures the lamp too. lousy camera cannot take pic well in dim light, need to get more support with the table lamp)

The kids just gobble down the biscuits in a speedy manner.

Much better option than having a cake which we have to eat for the next few days and tastier too.

YY enjoying his present from his dad. What did I get for him ?

Books.....

a leopard never changes its spot ! (19 jan 11)

Bought charlie a sticker book yesterday and this morning she wanted to bring it to school. Knowing her "generosity" character. I warned her not to give her friends the stickers too freely which she agreed.
At the end of the day, this is the outcome....... when I asked her why she give out the stickers again despite I told her not to. My dear little girl replied me "I did not give, my friend WASTED it". mummy fainted on the spot. When the daddy questioned her. The little "street smart" girl just kept quiet and did not give her daddy the same "nonsense" reply. Apparently it seems that she has the impression can talk nonsense to the mummy but not to daddy.

Notice there is a difference in charlie's drawing. Her drawing style is mostly people with define face, hair, hands and legs. And sometime a simple storyline.
