Five little fishes, swimming in a pool

(Wiggle five fingers)



The first one said, "The pool is cool."

(Show one finger,
then wrap arms around body)



The second one said, "The pool is deep."

(Show two fingers,
then hands measure 'deep')



The third one said, "I want to sleep."

(Show three fingers,
then rest head on hands)



The fourth one said, "Let's take a dip."

(Show four fingers,
then hands 'dive' into water)



The fifth one said, "I spy a ship."

(Show five fingers,
then form scope with hands to peer through)



Fisher boat comes,

(Form 'V' with fingers,
then move hands away from body)



Line goes ker splash

(Pretend to throw fishing line)




Away the five little fishes dash


(Wiggle five fingers away)

Salt dough making

The pre school kids are not going to school after their concert day. So they stay at home and teacher also gave them assignment on dough making. Tze Rong need to hand in the project on any food that make out of flour on Tuesday. He is holding on to his Pancake to be submitted. Zi En just have fun messing around.


This is the Hello Kitty Mini Cake I made for Zi En.
Here we are kneading out the salt dough and colouring to it. The teacher recipe with cooking oil make things very messy and oily. I prefered non cooking oil type, works as well.

Just don't know when baby will come. Contraction is happening every now and then....

Baby can come now, no more request from mummy and sibling anymore.

En walking on straight line

Play ground

Today is the Hari Raya Adilfitri. The Malay most important festival to celebrate end of fasting month.

I brought the kids to West Coast Park play ground for a fun morning. Ahyoh! The Mc Donald there was packed with huge crowd. Cannot find place to sit!!! End up eat breakfast in the park! After that we play sand with spade that belongs to others since we go empty handed.

En has big three sisters to play with her. They are really patient with my 2 years old. They play very different from the way I play to her which is more interesting! I am too old to climb around. They enjoyed each others company...

Before we left, a westerner (busker) was performing. He play music, juggling, unicycle and wrote there "I am not bagging, JUST FOR FUN..." He left some musical instrument around on the floor and the kids are free to play with them. Something new for En...

Best of all, it is really interesting and I fell very happy to see the Malay family go out together wearing clothes of the same colour tone. One family Papa, Mama, Baby grey, one family orange, this side maroon, so appealing to the eye, such a harmony and close family.Feels like back to the old kampung day. This seen only once a year.

Rong and dragon lantern

Rong lights up the lanterns all by himself.

Rui joined in after his 400 sentence writing ordered by dad was done. Rui plays with fire like a pro. A game of his since young. He lighted up a lot of candles on the tile and his spiderman lantern too.

In no time, they ran out of candles.

Everyday in the 8th month of Lunar Calender, they have a packet of candle to play. Under close supervision of course.

En Japanese learning aid

A new bag of fruits toy ($5.40) bought today for the kids to learn Japanese. The activity idea was from the Saturday class attended at The Little Neuro Tree. Fruits of different colour is sorted into matching bowl.

Kiiru banana means yellow banana in Japanese.
Aka ringo means red apple
Aoringo means green apple, ao actually means blue, but this is a special case when it is used with ringo.
Murasaki budou means purple grape, the Japanese version of grapes sounds like Mandarin version right?
Orenji is having the same sound with orange. The name of the fruit and the name of colour sounds just like English. In terms of written form, it is written in Katagana.

En is happily playing with the toys. She is slowly getting the concept of colour in different language.

Fu Wa - The Olympic mascot

Zi En is playing with her Fu Wa toy. Is time for Beijing Olympic 2008.

She is happily playing with her new toy and vocalise ‘Fuu Waa’ as she is playing. The figures could be shaped into different arms and legs action. She cannot manage to shape the action yet, but the flying action is the most oftenly used action by the maid when come to storage since it has lowest centre of gravity.
