June holidays was fun for time for the kids. No exams no stress...it's play play and more play. No stress for me too. I try to bring the kids out as far as I could. It's certainly not easy to bring all 3 together, even with the help of our helper. But that's not going to stop me from bringing them out as a family. I always believe that kids need to have fun. Even with so much stress on the education system, I still insist that my kids have their fair share of fun. We explored the zoo, botanic gardens, went for duck tour. We had our occasionally treats at McDonalds. 
Their favourite activity was waterplay at the zoo. We spent about half a day there, Fiona n Aaron were extremely happy splashing each other with water. Arianne was however a bit fearful of the water.
See the white tiger in the background? Not sure if it was the one which killed the malay guy not long ago. 
Fun day for Fiona and Aaron. We went for Duck tour with Manday and Chloe. Quack quack
. Boy! It was a nosiy ride but we enjoyed it. 
Manage to catch a glimpse of the future integrated resort. It's good to see that Singapore has more places of interest in the future. It's quite a headache for us parents to think of where to bring the kids these days. Singapore is full of shopping centres. Kids hate it when we go shopping. We need more kid-friendly places here. It's a pity we don't have disneyland :p
CHS organised a National Day Event. The students are supposed to send in 4 coloured pictures showing what they want to be when they grow up... They will piece togther all the submissions to make a map of Singapore. My boy wanted to be a doctor ...cos doctors do not need to bring laptops to work... laptops are heavy. His explanation was so funny I couldn't help laughing out loud.
Sister Arianne is quite a busybody. She wants a picture of herself taken with the stethoscope. There u go.....

I can't believe how fast the first half of 2009 has past. It was really mad rush ... the typical Singaporean mad run. First was Aaron starting his P1, next was Fiona starting her N1, next for all I knew, was Aaron's SA 1. I had a few really tough weeks preparing Aaron for that. Next for all I know, it was Arianne's 1st Birthday...then Arianne started to walk... and again before I could count the days, it was Fiona's 3rd birthday! In between time, I was coping with full time work alongside mothering the 3 kids. Sometimes I really wonder how I did it. At the end of everyday, I always feel so drained and really really I think no one can understand what I had been going thru. But the little hellos that greet me after work had never failed to brighten up my days :) My kids had grown in an unbelievable fast pace which I couldn't put a brake to it. How I wish time could slow down a little to allow me to appreciate every single bit of important moments with them for a longer time. But sometimes, when I get frustrated with them, I really wonder if they r gifts fr heaven or punishment for me...keke...

Time really flies.. my little boy is in P1 now... it's kind of hard to believe that. In 2006, when Fiona was barely 6 mths, we were frantically looking for a flat within 1km of CHS... thank God he was chosen in the ballot & I guess the rest is history.
Aaron is in 1 Charity or 1A, with Mrs Karen Lee as his form teacher. Mrs Lee is a bubbly and interesting teacher who teaches Maths and English.
First week of school is more or less orientation. No homework, just getting to know friends, teachers etc. The school had a buddy system where they have a P5 boy to guide the P1s during recess. His buddy was called Bryan. Aaron was so excited that he was able to buy things with the pocket money we gave him. I was around during the first 3 days - Aaron would buy Milo, Pizza and sometimes sandwich. After food, he would go down to the bookshop area - there is a piano there... we noticed he enjoyed playing Turkish March and Fur Elise on that piano with a few other older kids. Routine wise, we got to get him to get up at 6am to catch the schoolbus at 640am. After school, it's an afternoon for revision, reading and assessment books.. it's kind of hard to sink a playful child into a routine of revising school work, doing homework. That's just the beginning of his many years of school life. Study hard Aaron!

I have not updated my Blog for a long long time... been busy recently with work and coping with the three kids' demand. It's not easy to manage that. Sibling rilvary hits almost everyday. Aaron has just started P1 and the demand of having to coach him in his school work adds on the my task list. I need sleep...haha. Nevertheless, my 3 prince/ princesses have been happy kids. I think my household is the nosiest in my entire block of flats, amongst the households of older folks whom I have as neighbours.
