Meet the Teacher Session

We received a note from Jon's school that there will be a Meet the Teacher Session to discuss Jon's development.

Below are the comments from his teachers:

• Jon is a very smart boy: During snack time, he would bring his bag instead of his snackbox and water bottle beside him. It will save more time to keep going back to take snackbox follow by water bottle. Smart move.
  
• He is among the top to recognise Alphabet (A-Z) and numbers (1-10). Our efforts paid off. We spent alot of time teaching him that. hehehehe
  
• His motor skills is on par with his age.
  
• He is super lazy and stubborn: He refused to pick up anything that he dropped on the floor and will scream or yell for others to pick up for him. Sometimes he will refused to take off his own shoes. (Teachers will just ignore him whenever he does that).
  
• Due to his lazyness, he also refused to talk. He will just scream to get his things done. He knows the word but just refuse to talk.
  
• There is a girl classmate who simply adores him. She will sits beside him and help him do anything. LOL
  

So we need to help Jon improve his weakness during the June school hols.

Beep Beep.. here comes Thomas

It has been almost 1 year since Jon was exposed to Thomas the train. Suddenly he just went crazy over it. Everywhere he goes, he will carry his fav Thomas. There is around 10 Thomas train at home now. Even his fav Mickey has to give way to his new fav Thomas now.

Happy Mothers Day

I received my first mother's day card from Jon. With help of the teacher, this is the card that Jon made.

Oldbird vs Noobs

I have been trying to gain my driving experience and I have noticed some behaviours on the road. Experienced drivers aka oldbirds tolerance level towards inexperience drivers aka noobs is almost zero. Whenever they see a P plate in front, they will try all means to overtake the car making the noobs super duper more kan-chiong. This makes me wonder on the sayings.. "What goes around, comes around" Meaning old-birds were also treated to the similar incidents when they were noobs. And once they graduate from the school of noob, they start to revenge. So if this is true, becareful of what you do cos what goes around now, comes around in the future.

Which ward will you pick if you are warded?

We all know medical bills are expensive. A day at Tan Tock Seng Hospital for B2 ward (maximum subsidy) costs $$54 to $61 while B1 ward costs $175. This does not include any tests conducted, Doc fees, medication fees. B2 is non-aircon while B1 is aircon with television attached.

Which will you pick? It is not an easy choice as both choices have their own goodness. Staying in B1 is surely more comfortable but the overall bill will be bigger compared to B2. I was given the option to select when Kenneth was warded. I am a person with a high level of comfort level so my basic instinct tell me to opt for B1. In the end, I picked B2 even tho we can claim from his Insurance.

The overall experience was quite pleasant beside the heat as we have gotten used to aircon and the staff nurses really took care of the patients needs. So which ward will you pick if given the choice?

Impt of driving

It has been almost 4years since I have gotten my driving license. But I can use my fingers to count the number of times I have droven around. Yes, that is how bad it is. I am so used to be the passenager and lost the confidence to be the driver.

But all these started to change after Kenneth was admitted to hospital due to lung infection. I realised the importance of driving. I started to practice my driving during weekends to gain my confidence back. I can use my toes to count the numbers of times I have drove now. LOL

Monkey see.. monkey do

Whenever we ran out of cash, we will always go to ATM to withdraw. Jon finds that ATM machine very interesting. He will search our wallets for the atm card, and try to withdraw the money. This happens all the time whenever he sees that ATM machine.
