I started to take interest in buses, more indepth. Whenever I am on the road or in the car, I will point out whether there is public or private bus. If it is a public bus, I will go deeper to say what is the bus number, eg 57 or 100. I will say it as fifty-seven or hundred. Yes I can now count up to 30 or even more, and it is not saying it as "3-0" but rather "thirty"

My chinese also improved alot. and I can differentiate "liang" (2) pieces or "er" (2) too.

Last sat in Happy Train class, teacher asked for a volunteer to come up to recite a poem. I immed raise up my hands and was the first to recite it perfectly, all 4 lines correctly. Mummy and daddy were so proud!

Mummy think I really indeed become more braver now which is good for me as I am a boy after all...

Recently, I have been getting loose stools and worried mummy sent my stools for testing. Just the other nite, I even had blood in my stools... that even scare my poor mummy....

But luckily, the doc called yesterday to say my poo is normal and to advise me to take yakuly everyday.

Recent update: Eversince halloween on 29/10, I been reluntant to go to school. I am scare of a boy who snatch my toys. I even lie that I am tired or sick to avoid school. Mummy also seen teacher and talk to her. Now I almost over it and happily going to school again. I still promise teacher I will go school. But ytd, it was raining, and I ask mummy "raining hor so cannot go cherie hearts"

Hunger for Milk!!!

These days instead of 1 time 6oz of milk every night, I been taking at least 2 times of that...

last Wed, guess I was winner... 9p.m drink 6oz. 10 p.m another 6oz...

mummy thought I had enough and brushed my teeth. and then waited for me to go toilet to pee. After I pee, mummy put me to sleep. After a while, I asked for milk again!

Mummy gave another 4 oz for fear of I vomitting. But I finished! so I broke record for that nite feed... drank 16oz!

I did something proud for mummy last Sun. She brought us to Tiong Bahru in the car, alone. Mei mei didn't wan to sit in her own car seat behind as she scared to be alone behind. So I give up my own seat (in front) to her and I sit behind instead.

These days I have been rather stern with mei, often scolding mei mei and telling her if she noti, she wun go home. Mummy tell me that I should nxt time tell her what mei mei did wrong and let her punish. I shouldn't be the one scolding her as I get more angry and strict with my bigger eyes. Mummy say I cannot anyhow scold mei mei too. Recently I learn from my fren to use "activent" to mean noti and I will have a certain hand gesture to go with it...

Have been attending Kumon trial class for Maths since last Tuesday and enjoying the class though it ends less than 20 min. Everyday I also spend abt 5 - 10 min completing the worksheets too. Have been progressing very well and I am able to spell my name "Jasper" liao. though I still cant really write, need mummy to help me together.

Mummy will most likely enrol me next Jan after my Happy Train school ends in Dec.

When I first started, I was given diagnostic test and teacher is surprised that I can count quite fast though I do skip after number 15. sometimes correctly say, sometimes jumble numbers liek 16 and 18. but mummy say it good enough for my age. Guess practice make perfect.

Mummy notice sometimes I will misread "6" as number nine... but she will make me say again, without telling me it six. and I get to tick every worksheet I complete by myself. Also from completing worksheets, I get the concept of time (cos I need to put time I do, and the time I finish) and also discipline as in sitting down properly, and using my finger to point at each items I counted to improve my concentration and not be careless to overcount or miss any items. We are also encouraged to count in a clockwise manner or whichever round manner we are comfy in the sense that we dun skip or miss any items.

Few wks ago, I able to grasp the concept of Monday to Sunday and even sang the song. I also can use today and tomorrow and yesterday...

I started singing new version of "nobody but you"... it is....

"Nobody bite you"

n I can sing it whole day long... keke

Last Sat, I also took intiative to return my library books to the librarian instead of the trolley. I must say I not so shy n scare to approach ple nowadays. Mummy wanted to ask the counter for the free folder promotion for every 4 books since we borrowed later. I also volunteer to ask. Though not so clear, the counter got the meaning n ask us to go to a small makeshift table where a older boy sit there chopping the receipt n giving out the folders. I am more confident now n feel proud of myself.

These few weeks I have been asking my family members and maid to call me 大 哥... hehe esp during meal times where I will ask them to call me this and I will come over... keke

Mei mei like to call me chor chor... I told her I not, n call me 大 哥 ....

but I still love her and most of the times do share w her things esp when she cries for it if I am holding. Sometimes I still do disturb her as in give her but throw in another direction lor ;p well, every siblings do fight rgt... it normal...

This week, I v imaginative ... I can pick up a fake phone n pretend to call papa n ask him if he will be late back home, n what time he coming back?

Then my playyard I make it my home n create a space for fake lift... I went inside n pretend to press button to go up. I press 5, 6 haaa... then the lift like not working. I step out n pick up the fake phone n pretend to call the service man.

"My lift is spoilt" "Can you come""Are you coming in the red or blue bus?""orgh blue ok"

奶奶 laughed and ask so is he coming in blue bus? I replied no, change to purple bus....

I also love to act, as I narrate what happen in school earlier. like my fren cry, I will tell mummy fren cry (n I will act crying boo hoo) hehe

Nowadays I also like to walk instead of take the tricycle to school...

I enjoyed my first movie in the cinema (at vivo) very much n ytd expressed interest in watching another show there again...

last sun, poor mummy fell down in IMM n she was carrying Gem at tat time. luckily mei mei is asleep so didn't notice/ injure too. papa n I quickly ran to her aid (as we walk quite a distance liao) n I found water around the area n told mummy "oh there is water here", mummy said now then know ,.... haha so everyone be careful when u walk as can be puddle of water even in shopping malls!

Last wkend I show improvements in my social skills. Went for mei mei birthday bash with her July frens on sat and then being a flower boy walking down the wedding aisle on sun!

Previously I was not able to mix with many ple n will def shy away. n if force to mingle, I will tear. but last wkend I show lots of improvement

On sat, I able to mix with the crowd, though I still try to play w mei mei only. I will not hide in 1 corner. Was not so shy anymore n decided that nobody is laughing or really watching me. I still worried from time to time in the beginning that I wan mummy to follow me. As the times goes on I have the most enjoyable time n towards the end, dun wish to go home!

Then sun, I went to my mummy fren's wedding lunch. I have promised earlier I help the bride to be flower boy that day. Mummy thot I would back up as the real scene is alot of people n photographer snapping away. Though I was already tired by 2 p.m, I tried to keep awake to complete the walk (2nd walk in for the couple)! hehe yes I got a pressie - a bubble gun n a hong bao. Thxs Auntie SP for letting me try! Appreciate n realise how big I have grown. Mummy was full of praise for me though I didn't really throw the petals ;p

Mei mei nearly walk with me but whenabt to enter the doors, she back up cos she wan mummy to walk w her. hahaha if not she be a star too. hehe

OK updates on me these past weeks. I been learning about alphabets again n now abt to recognise the alphabets n linking them to words. Like B for ball, balloon, w for whale, J for Jasper... etc... i can recognise the lower n upper cases as well. Hope to write them well next time round as my writing skills needs improvement...

Mummy forgotten to record I started diaperless at nite since 04 June(last last Friday). cos that week i was sick and mummy took care of me n since she was at home, she got the energy to train me at nite. Since every nite most times I m dry with diaper on so decided to give it a go. I was ok so far. Hope no accidents...

I now finally speak these correct chinese words out liao.... mummy now know what I was toking about what these times.

Ok sometimes when I sang 2 tigers, when I reach second phase, I will sing "teacher lynn teacher lynn"

then mummy thot i must love her so much... but finally last Tues nite, I sang "在 这 里"

hahaha act I was trying to say 在 这 里

Ya I sang nobody but you...

Ytd nite I amuse mummy again by singing nobody but you...

n finally after my cough n fever episode last week, I ate some chicken porridge bought by Ah Ma... Thanks!
I vomitted out the food I ate in cc earlier... hopefully I get better soon.

Updates: Yes I been playing iphone alot but mummy limited me to play less than 1 hr every nite. I can speak almost all the chinese words when I see the pictures. n there was an auntie confirming my words are spell correctly. I can say "mao" (cat), hei sei (black), white, blue, green, red (my favourite colour of cos), mouse, carrot, mouth, eye, ear - all these in chinese. cos I use to be a "potato" n dun even speak a single word.

I also can identify numbers more accurately liao. like i can identify "17" from 4 other digits.

I can also say c is for car, curtain, cow... n many more n also for other alphabets. Hopefully next time I can read story book on my own. Actually now I can read one book abt old macdonalds had a farm and sang along with all the animals noises myself.

My chinese work at Cherie Hearts

Just 1 of the works I got from school...



Now I also learn a new biscuit song (in chinese)

Teacher Parent Session at Cherie Hearts

Yesterday was the first time we had the parent meet teachers session and it was really a fruitful one. For one, we both agree he quite sensitive and QUIET QUIET QUIET boy... hahhaa a very quiet boy. Teacher Jeehan say academic wise, he is ok but he doesn't really talk.

However he has improvement which we have seen so far
1) He talks to teachers and when prompt to speak louder, he will
2) He sits together with his friends, unlike the first week of school where he stays far away from his mates
3) He does most of the things himself now, even at home, like wearing of shoes and pants instead of waiting or whining for someone to help him to do it

N we realise though he was quiet in school, he does absorb what he had learn. He will tell me what he did in school and sang the songs he was taught. So guess the next session I hope he will have improve on his social skills liao.

Actually I also realise the difference bet my 2 kids. Jasper def love routines. He also a "organised" person in such a way he wants things to be done in a certain way. N he gets impatient very easily when eg he can't fix a puzzle as fast as he can. like he will give up easily too and starts banging on the puzzle blocks or trying to dig out the blocks to solve it. I told him force doesn't make him fix the stuff and that he shoudl learn to calm down and try another method.

Gemma on the other hand take things more easily. She can adopt the bo chap way, very seldom I hear her venting anger on the poor blocks if she doesn't fx them in time. She will just laugh it off. or move on to another item. Well there good and bad of it but guess her temper on this is better. why i say this? cos my gal can have hot temper too but not becos of not able to do things right. but she can insist on not having you touch her for eg. She will scream and push you away fiercely... hot chilli pepper...

I told mummy I dun love auntie, but i love mummy... mummy is very happy.

Yesterday nite, I saw the movie "Shrek Forever and After" advert on tv and asked mummy if I can watch. Mummy say can if u wanna go cinema... I say ok... so see if mummy bring me go n if I be guai to sit thru! hehe

Before I slept I was real sweet with mummy. Papa told me mummy is a horse, n I tell him she is not! n I sayang mummy... then papa said I am a pig... I say no! I am a red car and papa is the pig... haha when papa keep saying I am a pig, I told him "I handsome papa is the pig!" haaaa

I figuring out y papa is saying all these... hmmm

then middle of nite I woke up n cried n look for auntie... mummy is v sad by my words (Looking for auntie n not her) :(
She cried n I didn't comfort her... mummy think she is bad mummy cos all 2 of us looking for maid... Mummy, i really sorrie for last nite epi... (Mei mei is still crying every nite for auntie... )

I still wan mummy to sleep w me n tok to me abt my school...

I really love teacher Lynn though she has left the school. Miss her and everytime mention her name to mummy.

Yesterday I ask mummy again "why haven't I got my uniforms?" mummy said she will ask these days...

Last Friday I comment mummy shirt ugly. N Ytd comment papa shirt not nice hehe... I have become their image consultant liao.

Oh ytd was Mother's day and we went out to eat w Ah ma and Ah Gong, n Yi Ma family.

I have made mummy a bookmark and wish her happy mother's day to her delight.

Happy Mother's day!!

Jap food!

Updates on Cherie heart school for me...

Mummy is proud of me that I only cried during the first week in school. She was so relieved that I have turned into a big and more understanding boy. On 22 March (second week), she quickly took half day as she was afraid I will still cry like last week. She wanted to give all the support she can. Turned up I just reach n follow the teacher in. Never look back. Teacher commented I didn't cry in school later too.

Mummy thot it was just concidence so asked auntie to monitor me for the rest of the days. In any way, if auntie can't cope w bringing me n mei mei to school, she got to think alternatives. I guess more or less I understand so didn't want mummy to be so difficult, also dun wan auntie to stress too much too. For the rest of the week, I was contented to sit on the tricycle but noti mei mei wanted to hug sometimes. N auntie no choice got to carry her. but I didn't bother auntie.

n I didn't cry since then. In fact, I am enjoying school and will come back to sing songs for the family. I also brought back my homework for mummy to see. Also my fav teacher is teacher Lynn and she taught chinese so now I know a few chinese words and will tell mummy. I use to only speak English.

I can ask "qu na li" ("Go where" in chinese loosely) yesterday. I learnt that in school cos I have a chinese teacher Ong. Mummy hope I can pick up on my mandarin. Well I am improving! I now keen to sing chinese songs too. And I can even sing the radio 88.3 tune.

My appetite now is improving ever since the sickness... Now I also eat meat and veg together with rice. no longer plain rice, to the relief of my mum. I even can request for meat. of cos I still like my soup. Hopefully I gain back my weight. By the way, I am over 90cm liao, so when mummy bringing me to Ikea? keke

I sang another song I learn in school yesterday and sang to mei mei again. I also sang the "two tigers" again and mei mei hum the rhyhtm and learning too...

yesterday in school I also ate the kaya toast, even though I just finish milk. and even ask for more. N I drank ribena. At first didn't want to eat but try one bite and started liao. hehe

Mummy test me my chinese and Japanese and realised my Jap is better. she point to the cat and ask what is this in Chinese. I say "Neko" haaa

I cried more times today because now my parents dun follow me into the class room liao... but I still can see them outside waiting...

Breakfast was mantou and I dun wan to eat. I drank the milo though. I also didn't take the banana... Lunch was porridge and I ate 1 and half bowl.

I was v happy when i came home and for once, never quarrel with mei mei the whole day and played happily with her. I even sang the "two tigers" (chinese) song to her repeatedly until she say "no!" haaa I trying to teach her.

Papa got me a SIA digital cam for me but it seem having some problems and so we need to change it. Once it ok, I will have my own shots! cool!

First day at Cherie Hearts Depot!

Today is my first day in school and I am in playgroup 2. My parents were there to lend support to me. As usual I am very shy and didn't want to mix with the other kids. n I cried 2 times...
1st time is because papa force me to touch grapes, second time is when I didn't want to get into the room w/o mummy. but I know my parents are trying their best to make me feel comfy there. The school also allow either of them to be by my side today.

I manage to "survive" the first day of school and anyway it half day...
manage to eat the fried rice too... I used to dislike this but I think it nice.

I had my second professional hair cut at Toyrus vivo today... This time is very different. I agree to have hair cut after dad ask. I think maybe after mei mei cut her hair that time, I have a better impression.

After waiting for about 25 min (walked around Toysrus of cos), it finally my turn and sat on the chair myself! mummy so happy. I request for Hi5 and watch quietly while auntie cut my hair. I didn't fuss and move alot and the hair was cut v fast. The other boy was crying while getting hair cut...

Daddy bought me a panda truck which made me v happy too. We got stickers from auntie.

Big baluku!

I kenna big baluku on my forehead as a result of running around the house this morning...

Boys just love guns...

Everyday I am playing with it and enjoying it... :)

always ask mummy where is the eyes... then I will start using the ball to tickle everyone esp Gemma who will screamed in delight! haha she just love screaming

Now I can recommend mummy what to wear... like that day, I told her to wear red.

Then the other day, mummy didn't ask me and took some dress inside toilet to bath. I saw and run n take alook. Then told mummy to change cos not nice. haha

Then mummy got a new hair cut and perm and I also commented shyly that it look great.

P.S: mummy bought me a red gun (finally after the old one fail) and this one is so nice. Can convert to pistol too. worth the money. N I go banging/ shooting everyone... haha
